Number three, was two delightful
wooden spoons with strong round
smooth handles. Such an improvement
on the thin sharp edged, flexible handles
ordinarily made to kitchen spoons, wear

brace up while you used them.
So few things as a rule arc made with
any reference to comfort in daily use :;
so as to produce the best results with
least discomfort. There j, the Dom

saving Of time and trouble, and would
be perfect if the handle by which YOU

grasp Of it with your whsle hand. Speak

Of course. I find the smaller the bowl
the quicker they are beaten. Who,

They are very nice if properly cooked.
We think stewing the incest way.

THE LIVELY CAREER OF A LADY
RECENTLY MARRIED THE SECOND
TDE.-The career of Gladys Lady
I.onsdale, with whose recent marriage
the English journals ring, is commen-
tary upon London society at the pres
ent time which we on this side may
we'll lay to heart. Born to an luherl-
tance of rank and beauty. and the dau9h-
ter of Sir Sidney Herbert, man who
won the love and respect OF all who
knew him, not only by his statesman
like qualities, but by the charm OF ms
gentle and courteous manner, Lady
Lonsdalc should have been model OF
all womanly @races and virtues, instead
of which she is a bold, masculine beauty
good at smoking, driving and most out
ragcous flirting, and apparently with
few or no moral or religious restraints.
| Although notorious for neglect OF her
! duty 10 her first most unfortunate hus-
band, she has captured one OF the best
parts in England, and will doubtless
WELD a more omnipOtent sceptre as tu-
! ture Marchioness of Ripou than she has
| even as Countess OF LOnsdale. Her life
and conduct. which have wandered so
! far aStrav from the teaching and exam
pie that she must have received. are a
natural outcome ofthe corrupt condition.
of English high life, where taithless
wives are to be found i'll almost every
family and are spoked of with the ut
most unconcern. It viii be well itwhat
is known as An-lophob in this coun-
try confness itself to the cut of a coat
and the serving OF dinner, or even to
little harmless worshiping OF titles and
grandeur. To copy the morals and man.

ruinous to the maids, wives and mothers

The Happiest Race on Earth.

In wonderful proof Of the blind NAL
ace and fanaticism Of the Abohtionists
who deluged this land in blood, is the fact
that among all the Nations of the earth to-
day the happiest are the Southern Ne
groes, the cx slaves and then descendants.
We have often watched the professions Of
negro school children, marching down
the street, the sixteen year old girls, gay
and fljrtaCious as peacocks: while all
grades from siX-tooters to six months old
toddleIs, wee wagging their legs in
kind Of dance step. keeping time to the
music, Hopping their dresses, showing
of human bliss, and unconscious rhythm
Of motion, as if the happiness in their
little hearts were fairly bubbling over !.
How different with a parade of white
school boys, each pair in the procession
shufling at different gait; many keep
ing eyes on the ground in shamefaced-
ness. others wearing an air OF as. unlcd
bravery; not one of them laughing or gay
in the sense OF the little darkeys, whose
legs, arms, pctticoats and dimples flop
merrily in unison with the Band.
But you say this is the effect of free
dom? Far from it ! The happiest peo-
pie in Charleston, Mobile, and New Or
leans before Secession were the darkeys.
And if you 90 to Africa to day you will
not find one single half dozen males or
females as bright, fat, saucy and selt-en
ioyant as crowd of North Carolina ne
groes, born to slavery.
If slavery was SO savage upon them,
how comes it that in all the four millions
| Of the Southern ex slaves to-day there
are not millions, nor thousands, nor hun
dreds, nor scarcely even single speci-
mems" of sad. subdued, oppressed
| down-trodden souls in black skins
The JEWS wept by the waters of Ba-
bylon for generations. The INDIANS
have been conquered, enslaved, tortured,
crushed Even a six-months-oid Red
skin baby rarely laughs
The POLES, of Poland, have been
crushed and enslaved. And there Is nc
merriment among them.
1t is only the AFRICAN who is lively
and Joyous in slavery. And he Is hap
pier to-day than the snarling fanatics who
set him free, for the sake ftrampling on
the South.

The BLONDE AND BRUNETTE W AR.
An esteemed San Francisco contem-
porary declares that feminine war is
raging in Washington which threatens
to cast in the shade the old wars ofRed

question Of fthe First Lady of the Land"
into the insigniticance it deserves, The
blonde girls say that the brunetts are
given the preference in official appoint
ments and that the blondes viii not
stand it, They Will tell tales first
Those at all familiar with the machin-
cry used in the busines of appointing
women to office in the departments in
Washington know very well how deli
cate ond difficult a branch OF the civil
service this is to handle 50 many
American women are capable Of doing
clerical work and 50 many OF them are
in need o. work that tits very hard to
choose on mere grounds ofclerical merit.
Some other grounds have to be consider
cd and sometimes it is understood that
tie processes Of choice are not conducive
TO civil service reform.
Its claimed that the brunettes are, a9
a rule. steadier in their clerical habits
than the blondes. Its easy to say that
such Determinations are unjust OF alb
surd but experience IS the only safe
teacher, and #, after fair trial, it's found
that brunettes are more useful in the
departments than the blondes, all the
forces Of civil service reform will be

on the State which held the nursing bot

if anything can be done with salt water

The tact that fish can be artificially
propogated is as well settled as the fact
that Raleigh has an egg hatcher that
turns out 300 chickens at a time. But
the difference between the two facts is
simply this: that the chicks can be kept
at home, whereas the minnows can wig
