How to Eat a Watermelon.
ATLANTA Constitution !

Very few people know how to cal
a watermelon, just as not ono man in
ten thousand knows how to eat an
orange. To be properly enjoyed,
the perfect watermelon should be
pounced on in the patch just after
sunup. 1t should be carefully select
ed. In responding to an eager thump
there should follow dead and mealy
sound, and the melon should not
weigh less than twenty-five pounds.
After it is pulled 1t should be split
from end to end with a short bladed
pocket-knife, so that in tearing ii
open the glowing and juicy heart,
bursting loose from lis confinement
shall find a Judgement on one side
only. AT this point the knife is to
be flung away. For a moment the
eye should be allowed 10 feast itself
on the vision thus suddenly brought
to view, then the heart should be
scooped out with the hand and its
nectarious meat thrust upon the hot
and thirsty palate. There ought to
be something savage in the enjoyment
of watermelon it ought to be crush
ed and swallowed with avidity. The
man who knows how to enjoy one
will come away from the fray with
the sweets in his beard, in his hair
and on his clothes.

OBITUARY.

Frank Pierce Owen, son of NJ. V.
and Mat Owen was born Oct. 18th,
1874, and died Aug, 18th, 1886. Frank
was a good, obedient boy, of timid,
retiring nature but sprightly, studious
and devoted to books. He had re-
ceived religions training at home and
in the Sunday School. We have no
doubt Jesus, the tender Shepherd, has
taken His lamb to the fold above. lie
is there with dear grandma and the
other little lambs who have gone be-
fore. We sympathize with the be-
reayed parents, sister and little broth
er. May they be able to adopt the
language of David when bereft of his
child, "But now he is dead wherefore
should l fast? Can l bring him back
again? shall go TO him but he shall
not return TO me-"
"Judge not the Lord by feeble sense .
But trust him for His grace,
Behind a frowning providence
lie hides smiling face"

The Three Americas.

The commercial an industrial cry
of to-day is ''dovelopement." New
fields are constantly sought. New en-
terprises arc constantly inaugurated
aud new markets discovered aud
created. The western hemisphere,
North, Central and South America
afford vast and rich territory for
these efforts. From the day of the
first advent of Columbus to the pres
ent time, constant surprises have
awaited the researches of the enter
prising. Every effort discovers new
fields, unfolds new wealth. A vast
undeveloped territory is awaiting the
enterprise of the people of the pres
ent decade.
or late years the attention of com.
mercial men and manufacturers has
been directed TO the counties south,
especially to Mexico and Central
America. These countries not only
contain many millions of population
that need supplies and manufactured
articles of which our own country
produces a surplus, but are exceed
ingly rich in natural products aud
mineral wealth. A most potent fac
tor in attracting attention to these
countries, and establishing relations
Of comfy and commercial reciprocity
with their inhabitance was the late
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans.
Most of these countries were there
represented, and large numbers of
their cities were visitors at the Ex-
position. The unfortunate DELAYS
and difficulties which attended the
opening and earlier days of the
Worlds Exposition prevented a full
realization of the benefits it was ex-
pected to produce. 10 remedy this a
new company has been organized and
new Exposition will be opened.
We have received the prospectus of
the North, Central and South Amer
lean Exposition which openes on
November the 10th, next. This new
company has been organized with a
capital of $5,000,0O0. Ithas purchased
the buildings and plant of the
Worlds Exposition and is now in
possession of the same. 1t proposes
TO inaugurate even a greater and
more interesting Exposition than the
magnificent Worlds Exposition. The
new company starts out under the
most favorable circumstances, with
the buildings and accessories in hand
add in order for occupancy, and paid
for, the great bulk of their work is
steady accomplished. Many of the
prominent exhibitors at the Worlds
Exposition have left their exhibits
intact. Large numbers will return
with greatly increased and far more
attractive exhibits, and applications
for space from new exhibitors are
pouring in in large numbers.
The new Exposition will benefit
largely from the experience of the
old. The questions of railroad fares
and accommodations for visitors be-
come easy. The work of obtaining
concessions and of systematizing
having already beeu accomplished.
Deficiencies and impediments in the
management of the old Exposition
will be remedied. Nothing seems to
stand in the way of its grand success.
The public will rejoice and especially
those who failed TO attend the late
magnificent Exposition that the op.
portunity for attendance is presented
to them.

Presidents Who will Long be Re-
membered-
~. Y. sun.l

OF the twenty incumbents of the
Presidential Office, Washingto1, JEFF
ferson, Lincoln and Grant will live
in the memory of men after the others
have been forgotten.
Washington will be revcrcd. at the
Commander inf Chief of the army
in the war that made us republic,
and students of history will not over.
look the incident that he presided in
the Convention which framed the
Federal Constitution. His fitting
eulogy is embalmed in the memorable
words of Henry Lee: "First in war,
first in peace, and first in the heart
Of his cOuntrymen." This expression
in the resolutions offered in The lloL sc
on the death of Washington has often
been attributed, though enormously,
TO John Marshall. lie presented the
resolutions in the unexpected absence
of Lee, but Light horse Harry, the
father of Gen. Robert L. Lee, wrote
them.
Jefferson was the apostle of demo,
cracy and the founder of the demo-
cratic party and when all other dis
tinctions fade away, he will be known
as the author of the Declaration Of
Independence. lie appreciated this
truth when he directed that this
crowning fact should be craven on
the obelisk that marks his sepulchre
near Monticello.
Lincoln's memory will be perpetu-
atcd by three events. As President
he issued the Emancipation PROCLAIM
alton, and was the chief of the Gov
ernment during the war that resulted
in the destruction of slavery and the
preservation Of the Union. TO
him more than any other man the
success of the war was due. lie was
assassinated for patriotic services in
AL emergency that will have no par
allel while the republic stands.
Grants celebrity will mainly repose
on his achievements as a soldier and
General in the field. While as y
mere military chieftain he may be
ranked with Marlborough, Frederick
aud Wellington, his fame will echo
down the centuries as the leader OF
the armies that crushed an unequalled
rebellion, preserved the integrity OI
the republic, and liberated millions
Of bOndmen.
Four other occupants of the Presi.
dents Office will not be entirely lOsl
TO view for several generations
though they will have no such hold
on immortality as the four above
mentioned. They are Madison, Jack,
son, Garfield and Hayes.
The invaluable labors of Madison
in the formation and adoption of the
Constitution will long be recognized
by the American people. Jackson
! will be remembered and admired as
the recognizer aud rencwcr of the
democratic party, and as the cham
pion Of manhood against the organ,
lied power Of money. 1t will moi
soon be forgotten that Garfield wa'
assassinated without shadow of caus,
at the threshold of his office term
But the name of Hayes will surviv,
longer than either of the other three
because he obtained the Presidenc,
by fraud and the survival will b,
the record of every darkening sham,
and dishonOr.

THE GIRLS SWIMMING CLUB.
How the Fair Ones Enjoy Them
selves in the Surf at Long
Branch.
[Long Branch Cor. Philadelphia Prcss,l

Long Branch Cor. Philadelphia Press.
Bathing is more generally the go
this season than il has been for three
or four summers, and the girls who
indulge in it are not fast either,
though they are bright and hearty.
At one of the hotels half a dozen
young ladies from a Philadelphia
seminary have formed swim
ming club. They wear costume,
or rather uniform, of sea-green fan
iel, edged with lace. Their stock
ings are Of silk, sea-green, too, and
striped with black. A big black star
is embroidered OH each bosom. They
do not wear slippers. Altogether the
costume is very neat, quiet and be-
coming. The young ladies are COM
pletely at home in the sea.
7 One of them, a charming brunette,
with big, black, melting eyes, creates
a sensation now and then by swim
ming way out beyond the breakers.
The bathing master accompanies her
on her new sort of rowing machine
that looks like two big cigars joined
together by plank She amuses
herself occasionally by climbing up
Oh one of the cigars and taking a
"hcader" into the deep sea. The feat
was accompanied by SO muck vio-
lencc the other day that the "cigar"
careened and the bathing master was
tumbled into the water. The crowd
that the girls natatorial exhibitions
always gather had double sensation
for a moment. But the cigars right
themselves and the young man
climbed back into the seat. The girl
climbed up too and sat beside him,
and she laughed at the show he made
in his dripping clothes until he was
moved to tilt her. head over heels in
to the waves again. She bObbed up
all right, beautiful as mermaid, and
dashed him with spray while she
nonchalanlly dreaded" water. Ot
course she is the star of the club.
But all the girls are expert swim
mers. They wouldn't run from a
wave as big as ship, and they don't
shrek like Choctaw Indian when u
little bit OF foam runs over their dain-
ty toes. They belong TO the anti-es-
thctic set. They are sworn foes OF
nerves, Mysteries and cosmetics.
Their eyes are clear and bright with
high health, and their round checks,
innocent of rouge and powder, are as
brown AS the sea-wet sands. The

Godey's Lady's Book for Septem-
Der is number full ofnotable attrac-
tions. The frontispiece this month is
an illustration to one of Dorothy
llolroyd's pretty poems entitled, "The
Dryad and the Nightingale" This
plate is another successful adoption
Of the new style of engraving for
which Gody's Lady's Book is fast
gaining a reputation. The fashion
cuts and fancy work designs are ad-
mirable, both in drawing and color.
Among other striking features of the
September book, is the centre piece
OF the new cover, a movable design
which is changed from month to
month. The literature of this issue
embraces a powerful story by Amelia
b. Edwards, entitled "The Four-Fif-
teen Express" The translation of
the French serial The Yoke of Hon
Or" is carried forward to an intcres-
ting crisis, and new illustrated
paper OH Roses fills the department
of feminine occupations. Edith Rob-
inson, a popular young magazine
writer, has quiet but witty sketch
called "Michael Angelo and l." and
Julia Scott contributes "The EXile's
Daughter" The quality of the stories
in Godey's is certainly improving +;
indeed the whole magazine shows
the effect of progressive influence.
The publisher announces the speedy
forthcoming of a new serial by Helen
Mathers, the title of which is "Love
Lies A-Bleeding." This story is
bright and engaging, in the authors
best style, and promises to do much
towards enhancing the attractions of
the Lady's Book during the midwin-
ter. Godey's is an old friend and a
valuable one whom every lady should
cultivate. The cost of the magazine
by the year is the nominal sum OF
two ($2) dollars, and such an amount
cannot be expended to better advan-
tage than in subscription.
