Scientific Agriculture.

In our agricultural column appears
q piece on how to cushion baby car
riages. How the printer got it there
we are at loss to understand. The
only way we can account for it is, he
nns5 have been thinking OF farm, glr-
den and household. and was led away
by the ref lection that "a matrimonial
fruit-basGet" is a necessary adjunct.
AMI every farmer knows that cradles
are Indispensable in the harvesting OF
crop.

Peterson's Magazine


For September opens with o per-
iectly idyllic steel-engraving. SIN
Arcadia; Guess Who 1t I>?''h The
double-sized fashion-plate is also from
steel, colored by hand. Mrs. Lucy H.
Hooper is "Peterson's" fashion cor
respondent in Paris: the only one, we
believe, who keeps correspondent
there, hence the fashions are always
the latest and most stylish. The stories
in this number are unusually good,
even for "Peterson,'' and range from
love stories like Lord Avalon" to
comic ones like "Juba at the Wake"
and tragic ones likc"Creole Blossoms.
How such magazine can be supplied
for only two dollars year, and much
less to clubs, is miracle we can only
explain it by its enormous circulation.
Specimens are sent gratis to get up
clubs with. Address Chas. j. Peterson,
Ee. 800 Chestnut Street, Phlladelphia.

failed to hold their fairs regularly, the
society in this State makes its annual
fairs better every year, until they are
pronounced by strangers equal to

Last Friday night between nine and
ten O'Clock Mrs. j. Mittel, while sit
ting quietly in front OF her store, was
badly frightened by a man disguised

for the glaring, staring fact that news
is mighty scarce down here, and we
have to catch at straws to fill up on.
Any one who knows DR.. FAINT knows
him to be two-twenty FOUNDER, and
that onr distinguished and worthy DR..
Ben Mayer, Jr., is Just the reverse in
size. The latter happened in Spartan
burg lately in company with Mrs.
FAINT, and they met ut the house of
Rev. J. B. Campbell. The latter's lit
tie soon mistook DR.. Mayer for DR..
FAINT, and remarked: "Why, Doctor,
how you have acirrered array" Pretty
good for the young Campbell.
1t is astonishing how green some
people are when they first try to talk
through the telephone. A fellow in
this town. after answering one of the
offices, didn't know how to ':get loose"
from the phoac. He rang the bell.
thinking that would he sufficient, and
was turning away, when he was sur
prised to hear voice say: "Well.
who are you? what do you want?"
He didn't know what office he had
rung up, but thought it was the Gen.

he yentnred to mutter. ''Disconnect." :"
1t transpired through the transmitter
that he wasn't talking to the central
office, and it wasn't his place to ring
for disconnection. anyway. He thinks
he heard laugh.

SelhShness,

Seln6nneSS.
Selfshness is one OF the ugliest
traits OF character. 1t is pity that so
much OF it is seen. We would rather
be as poor as Jobs turkey and be gen.
erous and kind, than be rich as Crnsus
and selfish and unkind. A selfish cha
racter is despised~ by all good men,
socially, morally or financially. He
thinks only of himself, nothing of
neighbor or friend he accepts all
kinds Of favors and returns none. He
cares not II you are we'll or sick, for
what matters it If he is we'll, and his
stomach is full? This Is all he cares
or thinks about. His house Is not ded-
icated with the beautiful motto, "Wel-
come to ALL" simply because you are
not welcome. He would rather have
your room than your company. Save
us from q selfish man. He is a blot on
the earth, and Is not liked in his neigh
borhood in short, he is unwholeaome,
and smells bad, and when he dies he
will be laid away unlamented and for
gotten. We have no use for a selfish
man.

Friends of the Homeless.

1t is noticed by the Harlan papers that
the local association of the Home OF the
Friendless there met last Friday evening
and elected officers. The Harlan a%ssocia-
ton is quite enthusiastic and one of the
points brought forward is the securing of
a series of lectures.
Similar societies are formed at Nal
yern, Missouri Valley, Logan and other
points, and as these multiply in numbers
and increase in strength it is hoped that
they can arrange mutually for series of
lectures, thus reducing the expenses and
iusuring success. courses of lectures can
thus be secured which will be profitable
