North Carolina Minerals.

A North Carolina farmer of Cabarrus
county suddenly found himself rich the
other day, when he was offered $50 o
bushel for 1000 bushels of a sand and
gravel mound on his farm. The dirt
was more profitable at that price thar
any farm product he could raise on his
land, but he was as sharp as old Farm
er Rogers. the North Carolina farmer of
"Esmeralda," and didn't take it. The
gravel mound is as full of wealth as the
dirt pile of Dickens golden dustman,
and the latest improved machinery is
to be put in to work a gold mine. The
discovery came about in this way: The
farmer knew the mound, and knew of
an old hole near it which had been fill
edup by the drift Of years. He wished
to make a dry, gravelly front yard for
his house, and hauled some cart-loads
of the mound and spread it before his
door. The rains washed it, and he found
among the gravel a nugget of gold that
weighed an ounce. This opened his
eyes. Then he scraped up the gravel
and it "panned out" 1925 in rough pick
lngs. Then he took a bushel of the
mound, ground it to, powder IN q mortar
and it yielded 1925, which showed his
good sense in not taking $50 a bushel
for it. Then the oldest inhabitant of
Carbarrus, nigh on to a hundred, sud-
denly recolected a story told him, when
ne was aboy, by his grandfather, about
an E%nglishman who lived in Raleigh be-
fore the Revolutionary times, digging a
pit, finding a pile of gold and going
home to coin it,, The pit was on this
very Cabarrus farm and the mound was
made from the ~diggings. The lucky
Englishman worked the mine in the
rough, took out the biggest yellow
chunks and left the smaller nuggets and
rich dirt for the farmer, and the name of
this sudden millionaire is Bob Paul.
He will work the mine for all it is
worth, and would not take for the Eng
lshman's leavinss as many ten-dollar
gold pieces as would pave every inch
of his farm.

A Wealthy Mans Will.
fKy.) Commercial.

Louisville (Ky.) Commercial.
The will of the late Benjamin F.
Avery perhaps involves the control of
the largest single individual estate, ex-
elusive of membranes, ever disposed
of by bequest in Louisville. The per-
sistent care with which the fortune of
Mr.. Avery was founded, with no capital
for a beginning, is equaled only by the
intelligent foresight manifested in its
disposal in such as to provide
in the fullest measure for its enjoyment
by those for whom it is intended-hls
sons and daughters. The terms of the
bequest provide that the husbands of
the testator's daughters shall not dis
pose Of the shares OF their wives with
out the written consent of the latter,
and that such shares shall be free from
the liabilities of said husbands. The
reason given for this provision is worth
reproducing: II desire to say that
the foregoing disposition of property
for my daughters is not because of any
want of confidence in my sons-in-law,
but in order to provide against any
possible contingency of their being
brought to want by unforeseen disas-
ters in the business in which their
husbands may be engaged. Such dis
asters come upon the best men, and my
desire is to protect my daughters and
their husbands against the same as far
as / can"

Feeding Of Horses

Bells Messenger, England, SAYS that
the capacity of the horses stomach is
about sixteen quarts. This fact should
be borne in mind by those who have
charge o horses. In feeding grain to
horses it is important that it should be
fed at such a time that it may remain in
the stomach as long as need be to Sc
cure it complete digestion. The nitro
genous elements, in which grain is rich
er than other foods, are better digested
in the stomach than in the intestines.
The grain should be fed after the hay
has been eaten, and no other food or
drink should be given for some time af-
ter, so that the grain may remain in the
stomach until it is fully digested. If
the grain is fed first, and then q ration
as, for instance, of seven pounds of hay,
the grain will be speedily forced
from the stomach by the hay.
In eating the hay, it will be
mixed with four times its weight OF
saliva, and an hour and q half will be
required for masticating it. In order
to havet the stomach digest we'll, it should
not contain more than ten quarts at a
Time, ana III eatlnR seven POUNDS OF nay
the animal swallows at least two stom.
achfuls of hay and saliva, one of these
having passed on into the intestines.
If the grain had been fed first, before
the hay, the grain would have speedily
passed out of the stomach into the
intestines, where it would digest less
completely than if allowed to remain in
the stomach. It is the office of the
stomach to digest the heterogeneous parts
of the foods, and Is the oats or corr
contain four or five times as much o.
these as the same amount of hay, it is
obviously more important to have the
grain subjected to the full action Of the
gastric juices than to have the hay re-
tanned there. Hence in feeding grair
it should be fed after the hay ration ha,
been eaten. This is q matter vel
worth remembering in feeding horses

The Beginning of Roller Stating.

When lie Prophete" was first pro-
duced in Paris (says the New York
World) the skating scene, though high
~ desirable on account of it's novelty,
came neal being eliminated because OF
the impossibility of having real ice and
skaters upon the stage. The difficulty
was finally overcome and the novelty
made available by the ingenuity Of the
property man, who conceived the idea
of ro~ller-skates, and thus to a theatre
subordinate the world owes the pleasure
it desires from roller-skating. The
pastime was not. however, introduced
into private life by the Parisians, the
French being VIGOROUSLY slow in adopt
ing the new and untried. In 1S47
the old Covent Garden Theatre, Lon
don, was transformed into the Royal
italian Opera House, and lie Prophetic
splendidly put upon the time-honored
boards, and for the first time the
British public beheld roller-skating.
Although they went almost wild with
enthusiasm over the skating scene,
they took no more kindly to roller
skating as a pastime han the French
had done. How and when roller skat-
ing crept into this country, is not known
to the writer. but it has taken th~irty-five
years since its advent into London to
bring it to its present state OF pop.
uiarity.

Hot Water for Inflammation.

DR.. George B. Sheperd. of Hartford,
adds his testimony to that of many 9TH
ers by saying in the Medical Record: ~
have used hot water as a gargle for the
past six or eight years, having been led
to do so from seeing its beneficial effect
in gynecology. In acute pharyngitis
and tonsilitis, if properly used at the
commencement of the attack, it consti-
tutes one of our most effective remedies,
being frequently promptly cruative. If
used later in the disease or in chronic
cases, it is always beneficial, though per-
haps not so Immediately curative.
To be of service it should be
used in considerable quantity
(half pint or pint at time, and just
as hot as the throat will tolerate. I
have seen many cases of acute disease
aborted. and can commend the method
with great confidence. 1 believe It may
be taken as an established fact that in
the treatment of infammations general
ly and those Of the mucous membrane in
particular, moist heat is Of service, and
in most cases hot water is preferable to
steam. All are familiar with its use in
opthalmia and conjunctivitis, as also in
inflammation of the external and middle
ear, and 1 feel confident that those who
employ it for that most annoying Of all
slight troubles to prescribe for, viz, a
cold in the head or acute coryza, will
seldom think OF using the irritating
drugs mentioned in the books, nor of in
ducing a complete anasthesia with
c%hloroform in preference to the hot
water douche."

Eighth street, and there in the darkness
waited until the laundering hoofs Of
Booths horse were heard coming down

men then started down Eighth street

A Popular Girl.

What is it that determines a girls
popularity in society ? is aquestion Of
ten heard in these days of social strife
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and a question
that no n is quite able to answer in a
word. It is not because she is we'll
dressed or even pretty it is not that her
fairy godmother bestowed o witty
tongue to amuse the billiards Or "high-
ly educated" or $50 amiable"-no,
none of these desirable qualities would
render the popular girl more popular
than she is, though perhaps she is for
tunate enough to possess n or more
of them for her stock in trade. The
girl everybody likes need have neither
money nor beauty, which in the worlds
estimation constitutes social power
but she must have and does have a
gracious manner, a certain graceful
bearing, decided intelligence, instinct
i've generosity, and, above all, the great
est gift ever awarded to woman-per-
sonal magnetism. Beauty is called the
fatal gift, but personal magnetism,
which is independent of beauty, is the
gift of power, and, though scarcely
recognized at first, only relinquishes its
hold with death itself. The popular
girl always has this fascination in more
or less degree, and if with it go the
other attractions or happy circumstan-
ces, she rules the indisputable queen
of her small sphere. Her friends do
not analyze the effect she has on them
they simply like her, love her, and
later, when the time comes, adore her.

Data and Peas.

From the American Agriculturist.
We have for many years grown oats
and peas together. On good, rich land,
sown early, you can get a great mass of
fodder and grain. The great drawback
in the older States is the pea-weevil.
The peas are affected with the "bug,"
and we do not sell them, but feed them
out on the farm to pigs and sheep, prin-
cipally to the former. The pigs do not
object to the bugs. What the bugs
think of it is not reported. The fan
ning-mill will separate nearly all the
oats from the peas. No matter if a few
of the split peas will remain with the
oats.
If cut before the oats get too ripe and
the crop is carefully cured, the fodder
is nearly as good as hay. AS to the
variety of peas, SOW any that you can
buy cheap enough. The seedmen
charge TOO much for it, or the white or
black-eyed marrow-fat would be good.
The common Canada creeper or any
other small, round pea answers a good
purpose, ard a bushel goes father than
the larger varieties. We mean that it
is not necessary to SOW them 50 thick.
Two bushels of these small peas and O
bushel of oats is enough seed per acre.
The marrow-fats should be sown at the
rate of not less than three bushels per
acre and a bushel to a bushel and q hall
of oats, thoroughly mixed together.
Early sowing is very desirable, and
as sod can be plowed earlier in ths
spring than stubble land, we prefer tt

Archibald Forbes Relates How

From the English Illustrated Magazine.
The Schipka Pass had been in Rus

no plan of it had yet been made. The
emperor said at once, "Ignatietf, go and
fetch paper and pencil" Ignatieff went.
and there remained the emperor and
myself alone together, standing oppo-
site to each other, with a little green
baize table between us. The thought
that driited across my mind as we stood

that, emperor of Russia as he was, no
consideration that the world could offer
would tempt me to change places with 8
man so oppressed by ills.
As we so stood, he listening to me

sudden thought-"What a chance for
this mar to kill mel" The plan was
soon completed, and as skeptically look

Horses, Food And Drink,

The fact that a horse can, when heat
ed, drink cold water freely without iu-
jury, if he be driven afterwards, is
evidence that his internal arrangements
are different from those in the human
body. The London Field mentions some
points in the care of a horse which, as the
Field is an authority in such matters,
it is we'll to know:
Bearing in mind that the stomach Of
o horse is small in proportion tol the
size of bis frame, he requires feed
ing often, and though three times &
day is sufficient, four times is better.
Unlike human beings, horses should
drink before thew eat, because. owing
to the conformation Of the horse, water
does not remain in the stomach, but
passes through it into a large intestine
