What tho Swiss can Do on Ms Cumberland Plateau.

Our attention has been called to an interesting
letter on this subject written for the New York
Tribune just year ago, by Mr.. E. V. Smalley.
About ten years ago colony of Swiss peasants, by
the help of their consul settled tract of land
in Grundy County below the average quality of the
land of the plateau. "They came empty-handed,
save for little household gear; they went into the
forest upon lands despised by the natives because
not adapted to producing corn or cotton the COM
munity about them had in it no germ of energy and
growth such as all Western communities possess,
that they received no stimulus or aid from surround
ing progress and prosperity" Yet, when Mr.. Small
ley visited it, Gruetl the Switzers had named their
settlement, was g worth seeing as pleasant picture
of coy home-fe in the midst of the wilderness, as
we'll as demonstration of what can be made out of
the plateau lands when carefully cultivated" We
regret that we cannot give the letter it stands
but in any case the moral would be the same These
Swiss had pretty hard times to begin with, but they
pulled through them We may take it for granted
that too have many difficulties and discomforts to
and put up with during the coming two years
So but it is odd thing if we cannot do likewise,
and with at least as good result as that which Mr.
Smalley saw at Gructli +. UJ

Vino Culture.

There is common saying that European vines
will not flourish this continent east of the Rocky
Mountains Certainly this is not strictly the fact,
for we have seen more than one kind thriving in
Texas; and, though this by means proves that we
cultivate them to advantage in Tennessee, they
are at least worth the trial. 1t seems likeytha cuttings
from openair English are more likely to resist our
Spring frosts than those from South of Europe vines
and package Of the former has already been received
in good condition, for trial by Mr.. Amos HILL from one
Of the most successful outodoor vine growers in the
old country. Another package of cuttings, from the
best South of Spain sorts, expected early in Janu
airy. and these will also have fair trial There is
no doubt about the Concord Norton's Seeding.
Cynthiana, and other good American varieties doing
well but when it is seen that these are retailed in
Cincinnati at FIVE cents per pound while the half
ripened so-called "Tokay" grapes of California fetch
thirty cents it is clear that is worth while trying

will command the higher figure. "a

To tell who are the inhabitants of Rugby, and
what they are doing, would answer, in,a general
way, so many letters received by our people, to say
nothing Of the daily increasing number received by
the " Board of Aid, which are promptly responded
to by them by forwarding pamphlet or letter -
that we will try to say something that will give our
far.away and many friends something of an idea at
least.
In the first place, you must remember that with
us it is now midwinter, and almost everything is
stand-still - the highways and byways are at their
worst. A dull, leaden sky has covered us for most
two weeks, with constantly increasing cold until the
thermometer, hanging on the north side of white
oak tree at our cabin door, now marks 20 degrees
above zero, and will quite likely drop down or
more by the cold hours of the morning; and this is
called terrible weather in this country, while with
the Northerner it is "splendid winter weather."
Nevertheless, in contrast with the long and
fall it is bad season, and the long habit of resting
in winter still holds sway over us, and we all feel
that we can't do much now Still, if you want to see
us together, see for yourself, aUho are, you might
come to church meeting on Sunday at II A. M.
= our church is not yet finished held in the Ia
bard Hetse, and We believe you will find plain,
sober lot of people of all ages, composed Of about 40
per cent English and Scotch, 40 per cent. Ameri-
cans, northern and southern, and 20 per cent. of
native population, making perfect cosmopolitan
set as the most ardent democrat could DESIRE and so
far they are all agreed touching one thing, and that
is, that the New Rugby is about as near the center
between the Lakes and the Gulf north and south,
and the Atlantic Ocean and Mississippi River east
and west, as be placed by the engineers, and all
intent upon driving the peg down solid to remain
there
AS to what we are doing, you have only to step
out on the piazza of the hotel on Monday morning

THE OLD MILL At RUGBY.
BY CLAIBORNE ADDISON YOUNG.

In Tennessee, near Rugby Town,
That place just now of wide renown,
Where Clear Fork stream its torrent pours
Past rhododendrons, RACES, roars,
Then curves, then glides past rocky heights,
Now looks, then turns from grandest sights.
But suddenly it stops, it stays,
Forgettingits coquettish ways,
Forgetting its capricious will,
1t stops, it stays to turn mill.
The overhanging cliffs look down,
Their brows meier rufled by frown;
A sleeping road wades through the stream,
The noisy dam meier breaks its dream;
The mill stands open wide as day,
Nor locks nor bolts do bar the way;
Nor miller for his toll doth wait;
Each neighbor simply lifts the gate,
The joyous stream doth grind his grist,
He only pays the toll he lists
A realized Arcadian dream
Is this old mill on Clear Fork stream.
O Rugby, take myself away,
Or learn to live their simple way.
Wind on, 0 stream, grind on, 0 mill,
Where men pay toll from sheer good will.

CHRISTIAN COMMUNISM In the very readable
and brotherly letter of no T. Roberts, of Syracuse,
printed in another column, occurs the sentence GAS
believer in the teachings, and worshipper Of the
spirit Of the Philosopher Of Nazareth, hail with
delight the beginning of movement in America for
the realization Of Christian Communism"
Read between the lines, and, as we understand
Brother Roberts, the sentence is correct and fully
explains itself. But from the tone of many letters
which we are receiving, and occasional remarks of
the Press led to believe that in the minds of
many of our friends the spirit Of communism as un.
derstood in America, is in some way connected with
the organization at Rugby, while in fact, nothing
could be further from the truth than this and Brother
Roberts will not only us, but rejoice with us.
in using his words golden text to utterly ignore.
denounce and repudiate each every and all forms of
Communism, as expressed and understood in common
in America, at the time accepting in FULL in its
true sense the beautiful idea Of a true Christian
community. N

The Use of Lemons.

4 good deal has been said through the pa
pers lately about the healthfulness OF lem
ons. The latest advice of how to use them
so they will do the most good runs as fol-
lows:
Most people know the benefit of lemonade
before breakfast, but few know how it is more
than doubled by taking another at nigst al
so. The way to get well of bilious system
without blue pills or quinine is to take the
Juice of one, two or three lemons, as the ap-
petite Graves. in as much ice water as makes
it pleasant to drink, without sugar, before
going to bed. In the morning Oh rising, or
at least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in goblet OF water
This will clear the system of humors with
bile. with mild efficacy, without any OF the
weakening effets ofcalomel or congress water.
People should not irritate the stomach Dy
eating lemons clear; the powerful ACID OF the
Juice. which is almost corrosive, nfaillbiy
produces inflammation after awhile but prop
erly diluted so that it does not burn or draw
the throat, it does its full medicinal work
without harm, and when the stomach is
clear of food has abundant opportunity TO
work the system thoroughly.

Ears as an Index Of Character.
chronological Journal.

lfnfenOiOSlcaI journal.
Large ears can hear things in general, and
denote broad, comprehensive views and
modes, of thought, while small ears hear
things in particular, showing disposition to
individualize, often accomplished by love OF
the minute. Large ears are usually satisfied
with learning the facts of a case with the
general principles involved-too strict atten-
ton to the enumeration of Details especially
all repetition of the more unimportant, is
wearisome to them. People with such ears
like generally, and are usually well fitted, to
conduct large enterprises, to receive and pay
out large sums: in buying and selling would
prefer to leave margin rather than reduce
the quantity Of any sort to the exact dimen-
sions of the measure specified, and in giving
would prefer to give with free hand and
without too strict calculation as to the ex-
act amount. Small ears, on the contrary
desire to know the particulars Of a story as
we'll as the main facts; take delight often in
examining, handling or constructing tiny
specimens of workmanship, are disposed to
be exact with respect to inches and ounces
in buying or selling-to the extent, at least,
of knowing the exact number over or under
the stated measure given or received. People
with such ears would, in most cases, prefer q
retail to wholesale business.

Washing the Face.

There are several wrong ways OF washing
the face, and but one right. Towel, flannel,
sponge, are all out Of place where the face is
concerned. The hands only should be used.
Dr. Wilson's directions are: Fill your basin
about two-thirds full with fresh water; dip
your face in the water and then your hands.
Soap the hands well, and pass the soaped
hands with gentle friction over the whole
face. Having performed this part Of the
operation thoroughly, dip the face in the
water the second time, and wrinse it COM
pletely; you may may add very much to the
luxury of the latter part of the operation by
having second basin ready with fresh water
to perform a final rinse. But the care of the
the complexion requires that not only the
face, but the whole body shall be daily sub
iected to the oath. The sponge bath, per
haps, is the best, and the temperature OF the
water must be regulated by the sensations OF
the bather, and by the season of the year.
No one can deny the charm OF Clear soft
color in the cheeks and lips, and it must be
IN incorrigible complexion, indeed, that will
not yield to the measures that have recon-
mended.

A DOG STORY.
What Will Please the Average Goo
Little Boy.

charlotte Correspondence Atlanta Constitution
A very remarkable occurrence at Shoeheel
a small town between this city and Whining
ton, has just stirred up the whole section oi
country contiguous thereto Mr.. w. D. Bald
win, highly respectable citizen, of the firm
OF w. ID. Baldwin & Co., merchants was re-
turning ON Friday night from a trip on horse
back to the country, when on nearing the
town about midnight he was furiously at
tackled by pack OF fifteen or twenty dogs.
They bit the horse he was riding, caught the
bride in their teeth, pulled the stirrups from
Mr.. Baldwin's feet and made frantic efforts
to tear him from the saddle
Finding that he could not scare them off,
he put spurs to his horse and rode for his life,
followed by the yelping, barking, biting pack
OF ours into the heart of the town, their glar-
ing eyes and prOtuding tongues proclaiming
them bent upon his destruction The citi-
zens were aroused and came to Mr.. Baldwin's
rescue with guns and pistols, and the inturi-
ated brutes were compelled to take to the
woods, where they remained until Sunday,
attacking and killing grown cattle
By that time the excitement had greatly
increased, and the danger was so manifest
that the Shoeheel Rifles, the military COM
pany OF that place, were called out to hunt
the dogs, and after a day spent in the effort
the pack was broken up, many of the dogs
having been killed.
The GURUS part of the whole story is that
the dogs belonged to people in and around
Shoeheel, and no one has yet been able to
explain their conduct or to account for their
combination. Hydrophobia was suggested,
and those who witnessed their behavior say
that it was not such as to justify this theory.

Atmosphere of the Table.

1t is impossible to estimate properly the
immense influence which is exerted upon a
household by the atmosphere OF the family
table If it is true that one does not come
out of q room the same person who went in,
the mind ever after retaining the impress OF
what affected it there. what great results
must be achieved from the meeting three
times day in the dining-rOom, from the
conversation INDUCED in, and the sentiments
habitually expressed there. 4 neat well
ordered table is in itself lesson to the
children.
/ have noticed that sensitive child almost
invariably has better manners when dressed
in his best, and have seen with surprise the
effect produced upon certain small boy Of
my acquaintance by handsomely dressed
ladies who are polite to him. To the invit
ing table, where there should always be
something attractive, however simple the
meal may be, most children will come pre-
pared to behave properly.
1t is really worth while and when philOso-
phically considered is matter of great i'm
portance, to lay aside as far as possible all
thoughts of hard work done before and to be
done liter the meal, and to allow no veXa-
tious question to be discussed at this time
The habit of brOoding over our work and ex-
hausting ourselves by going all over it in our
mind, is one to be studiously avoided. There
is nothing takes from ones energy mos'h han
this, and it is frequent cause of il, ~.
Everybody knows that food digests better
when eaten in agreeable company. 1t was
something more than a pleasantly which
made friend remark that he could not have
his wife and child pass the summer vacation
away from him as it gave him dyspepsia.
The poor child who comes to grief at the
table and is sent away from it with his din
ner half eaten, and who suffers the whole
afternoon with an indigested lump of food in
his stomach, is to be pitied, and it is a wise
plan to explain to children that in this way
they will be punished for bad conduct at the
table.
1t follows, then that pleasant surprises in
the way of preparing favorite dishes, that
good taste and much painstaking in arranging
all the appointments of table and dining
room, arise above the mere ministering to
the animal existence, and affect the fine
issues of life. Good behavior and cheerful
ness ought to accompany each meal as natur-
ally and unvaryingly as bread and butter.
The happy laughter which distributes ner-
vous force, and calls the blood from the brain,
allowing the stomach to get its share, should
be heard more frequently at our tables. No
one should feel at liberty to say one word
that is not kind and thoughtful, any more
than he would withhold sufficient quantity
of food. These facts need more careful con-
sideration than they have usually received.

SMOKING CIGARETTES.
Likewise Some Other SubsranceS That
Are Not So PalatabIe.
Philadelphia Times.


There are few current delusions that have
become so firmly fixed as the trade trick
which claims that the only original cigarette,
warranted not to kill or ruin the larynX, is
the one wrapped in rice paper. During the
last ten years cigarette smoking has grown
apace in this country At the beginning of
the war the cigarette was the mark OF a
foreigner, the Spanard especially. All the
continental nations however, do most of
their smoking in this way. The ready made
cigarette is only comparatively late inven-.
ton. 1t was created in Difference to the I'M
patient spirit of the American, who cannot
give the time or possibly acquire the skill
necessary to roll cigarette The address
with which this job is done abroad ellclts
admiration. So great an adept was Napoleon
III, in the making, Of this small solace that
with one hand, the left, he could arrange the
tobacco and roll the paper into condition
fit to smoke This, however, is by no
means rare accomplishment in France, Spain,
or italy, It was the American who invented
the patent cigarettes, not so much to save the
consumer the trouble of making the article
as to get good chance to adulterate them.
These is not cigarette made III America
that any man, boy, or woman would smoke
if the making and mixture OF them could be
seen. Every brand makes a loud boast of
using rice paper whereas any one who takes
the trouble to examine the rice plant will
see at glance that there is no tibrouS con-
sistence in it to make paper Of the sort used
in cigarettes Prodigious fortunes have been
made and are making, and millions OF people
are slowly running their digestive organs by
inhaling the foul stuff wrapped up in the
various brands that claim to be pure. Let
any smoker of cigarettes subject his tongue
and throat to medical examination after
smoking package of cigarettes. Vitriol it.
self leaves no more sinister impression on
tongue, throat, and palate. If the cigarette
were made of pure tobacco and fairly good
papers it would be no more harmful than a
cigar, which the world has come to agree
substantially is not harmful at all. But the
greed of the trade enters this, like all other
enterprises that spring up to supply sudden
demand A package Of twenty cigarettes,
which may represent an outlay OF from three
to five cents, the manufacturer eXacts twelve
or sixteen cents for There is rarely in a
package Of twenty as much genuine tobacco
as a smoker consumes in one honest pipetul.
1t may be safely said that with perhaps one
or two exceptions, every cigarette made is
source of violent physical reaction, destruc-.
tive of vital tissues and the active principal
of lurking and insidious diseases, and that 1t
is better to smoke pound of tobacco in any
other form than the pinch mingled with poi
son that makes up the ridiculously expensive
and utterly worthless article of cigarette that
holds the market.
