YALUE OF MUSTARD.

Mustard is valuable in many ways.
No family should be without it. Two
or three teaspoonfuls of ground mus
tard stirred into half a pint of water
acts as an emetic very promptly and is
mild and easier to take than salt and
water. Equal parts of ground mustard
and flour and meal, made into paste
with warm water and spread on a thin
piece Of muslin, with another piece of
mustard laid over IL, forms the often in
dispensable mustard plaster" 1t is al
most sure cure for cold, when applied
for few minutes over the "pit" OF the
stomach. For all internal psins and
congestions there Is no remedy of such
general utility. 1t acts as a counter-ir-
ritant, by drawing the blood,to the sur
face; hence in severe cases of the Group
a small mustard plaster should be ap-
piled 10 the back Of the child's neck.
The same treatment will relieve almost
any case of headache. A mustard plas-
ter should be moved about over the
spot to BE- acted upon, for If left too
long in one place il is liable to blister.
A mustard plaster acts as well when at
q considerable distance from the affect
ed part. An excellent substitute for
mustard plasters is what is known as
mustard leaves" They come a dozen
In box, and are about four or five
inches in size. They are perfectly drS A..
and will keep for a long time. For use
it is only necessary to dip one in dish
Of water for minute and then apply it

THE MOUND BUILDERS.
AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF Lo-
.cALrTY IN cHEATHAN COUNTY.
Dickson County Press.

/ Dick8On county fresh.
Rev. j. 4. Cole, who has been up IL
the edge OF Cheatham county during
the past week, reports having an inter
esting time in hunting up relics of that
mysterious people who once populated
this region, but have been obliterated
ages gone by, yet are a never-ending
subject for conjecture and study by the
antiquary. In bend of Harpeth river,
about eight miles from White Bluff and
a mile above the famous ''Narrows" OF
Harpeth, is 8 field containing 200 acres,
known as Mound Bottom" In this
field are numerous mounds built by this
extinct race of people. Rev. Cole
made a careful examination of these
mounds. One near the centre of this
field is over sixty feet high, and covers
nearly an acre of ground. There are
several more in this field, but this one
is the largest. On the opposite side of
the river from mound Bottom" Is an
immense bluff 500 feet high, and per-
pendicular on the side next TO the river.
On the highest summit of this bluff, and
at point overlooking the country for
miles around, is one of these mounds.
Three miles up the river from this point
is Paint Rock, an immense bluff, on
which is painted with some red colored
substance, that has withstood the storms
of ages, picture of the sun. Away up
on the face Of q gigantic bluff, a hun
dred feet from the water, the query
arises. how did this artist Of ages long
gone by WELD the brush where no NOR
tai man of our days and race has ever
succeeded iu reachingf
This entire locality is full of evil
dences that il was once thiekly popu-
lated with a busy, teeming people OF
whom all knowledge has disappeared,
and there is nothing by which we can
determine anything in regard to their
habits, and mode of living, except the
relics Of pottery that are found in and
around these mounds. In cultivating
this bottom field, curious specimens of
pottery, utensils made of flint rock, and |
human bones have been ploughed Up
regularly every since the field has been |
in cul ivation. If this race were "Sun |
Worshiper's. what grand views they |
had Of the rising and setting of their |
Deity, from these immense bluffs. To |
those who love to investigate and spec
ulate in regard to this lost race OF peo-
pie, no better locality can be found in
which to pursue these Investigations
than where Rev Cole was, as that whole
region is full of evidences that it was
once populated by people who were
partially civilized, and were skilled in
some of the arts.

devotion to home ties. He has no
children, but Notwithstanding that

which he had occasion to refer to
his wife. The sentiment expressed
is so beautiful and touching that /

wrote: "When we married my health

LESSONS IN LOKE.
Don't love too many at once.

Don love TOO many at once.
Don't do your spooning in public
Travel on trains that go through
the most tunnels.
Give your brother taffy and get
him to bed before the chap calls.
RecolIect that a wedding ring on
your finger is worth a good many
In your mind.
Ifyou have any objection to to-
bacco, say so in time, or hold your
tongue forever after.
Try to find out by some means
whether your intended can earn a
decent living for two.
Don't fall in love with man on
account of a stunning ulster. OF
what use will that be next July?
Keep an extra chair within civil
distance of the one you and your
lover occupy, for fear of a sudden
surprise.
Be reasonable, don't expect man
working for eight dollars a week to
furnish you with reserved seats at
the opera overy other night.
Don't be afraid to show the man
of your choice that you love him,
provided of course, he loves you.
Love is double sided sort of con-
Germ, and both have a part to play.
Don't try to bring too many suit
ors to your feet. They have feet as
well as you, and you may see one
pair of feet walking off from you
some day you would be very glad to
call back.
Keep your temper if you expect
your other -halfin-law tg keep his.
If he doesn't suit you, give him his
ticket-of-leave. If you de not suit
him, don't expect him to put up
with your humors.
1t is said lovers quarrels always
end with kisses. This is partly true,
but if you are not careful those little
spats you indulge in may end in the
kisses you covet being giveHto some
other girl.
Hand in the names OF your father
and mother to be prayed for at
"meehn so they may be converted
and go to church Sunday nights in
stead of staying at home to help you
entertain people. esle4
Deal carefully with bashful lovers,
lead them gradually to the given
point-tof proposal of course,) but
don't let them suspect what you are
at, or they might faint on your
hands or go crazy on the spot.
If possible try to suit your sisters,
cousins, aunts, grandfathers, neigh
bors, friendsand acquaintances when
you happen to fall in love. IF you
can't suit them all don't worry, for
the thing has never been done yet.
Don't imagine that a husband can
live as a lover does-on kisses and
moonlight. He will come to his
meals as hungry as a bear, and any
little knowledge of cookery you can
pick up during courtship is about
the best PROVISION you can make for
future happiness.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Reports from
hundreds of Northwestern points agree
that frosts the last two nights have done
heavy damage to the corn belt in this
country on the low lands over large
area. Corn is almost totally destroyed.
Especially in Minnesota and Michigan
the destruction Is heavy.
The Wisconsin tobacco crop is prob,
ably totally ruined, but no serious DAM
age is reported from Illinois or Iowa,
although great apprehension is enter

this crop is one of the leading interests

Germany is experiencing the novel
sensation Of temperance movement.
II is quarter of century since any in
terest in the subject has been manifest
ed, aud the present revival is as sudden
as it was unexpected. The movement
rs headed by Count Won Moltke, in
dorsed by nearly all religious parties,
and supported by committees in every
part OF the country. while the former in-
difference has yielded almost every
where to hearty sympathy. The pro-
moters OF the movement have taken
warning by the failure of the last agi-
tation, which was confined solely to tee
totaIism and naturally made little pro-
-gress in such nation as Germany.

Of temperance by preventing the abuse
of alcohol in a country where its use Is
