an antidote, and prevents both the CO..

How to Use a Grintls;one.

American Agriculturist.
A grindstone is one of the worst used
implements on the farm or in the work
shop. Few take the trouble to think
about their worf, and consequently the
majority of people fail to get the best use
from their tools. The few who do think
will agree with us when we say that a
grindstone is both badly used and badly
chosen. 1t is too small, too thick; it is
not evenly and truly set and conferred; it
is not properly speeded, and is turned
either too fast and made to throw the
water around, or too slow, and SO fails to
dots work well; it is not well taken care
of and is badly used.
A grindstone, to do good service, should
be at least 3 feet in diameter and q to 3
inches in thickness, having bevel on
each side of the face for grinding on. It
should be quite free from hard spots or
from pyrites, which are injurious to tools,
although these may be taken out with a
sharp pointed punch. If it is not CEN
tered truly, it will work out of shape and
soon require truing up. 1t should run
as fast as possible, as it does work both
better and more quickly. To prevent it
from throwing water, piece of bagging
should be fastened to a staple fixed across
the frame on each end, but not SO close
as to grind it out; this will catch the
excess of water and vet keep the stone
wet enough and clean it. The stone
should be kept in the shade, and never in
water, which softens it and makes one
side wear faster than the other. The
water-box should have hole in it to let
out the water and keep the stone dry
when not in use. In grinding it should
mostly turn from the tool, and if used
otherwise great care should be taken by
the one who holds the tool not to gouge
the stone.

Beats q Ghost Story.

The Rockingham On. G, } Spirit of the
South, is entitled to the honors of the
season. It says: 1.-The Rev. Mr.. Lind
sey, who formerly resided and preached
in this county, was able to boast that he
was born four months after his mother
had been dead and buried. Here is the
explanation: His mother, who resided
in Stewartville township, in this county.
fell i'll and, to all appearances dead, and
was buried in Stewartville cemetery.
The night following her interment ghouis.
for the purpose of securing some jewelry
that was buried with the body, unearth-
ed the remains, when consciousness re-
turned, and she was enabled to return to
her home. Arriving at her late residence
she raped at the door, and was answer
ed by her husband, who demanded to
know who was there. To his great as
constituent the answer came: 1T is
your wife, He was not quick in OPEN
ing the door, bat finally did 80, and was
overjoyed to meet again in life his below
ed wife, whom he had mourned as dead.
Four months afterward the Rev. Mr..
Lindsey was born, and she survived sew
eral years. This is indeed a strange
story, but we are assured that it is liter
ally true"

Natural Depravity of Children.
, vcrl Trsbr,po


While a reporter waited in small
stationery store in Houston street until
the old woman in charge of the place
could change 50 bill tine other day he
was treated to q lecture on the natural
depravity of the youthful mind. The oc-
casion was given by three little girls who
entered the shop in Indian file and made
a Decline for the candy county in the
rear. Their faces wore expressions OF
injured innocence.
"Wen What do you want now ~
the old woman inquired.
"Oh p said the Oldest girl, barely !
years OF age, jerking her elbow expires
sively in the direction of one of her small
er companions, 'she gave you nickel
instead of cent The old woman went
behind the candy counter and took out a
tin box containing number of coppers.
She peered into the box, shook it, to
make sure that no nickel was lurking
among the other coins, and then held it
under the noses OF the girls, exclaiming
sharply:
"There, now. Do you see any nickel
in there!''
Without replying, the girls filed out
of the shop, each childish face clouded
by an expression of hopeless dissapoint-
ment.
'You wouldn't believe it! - said the
old woman, bitterly. Il wouldn't be-
ieve it myself if I didn't stand here all
day and see it with my own eyes. The
deceit of such children is enough to drive
me almost crazy. They look you right
in the face with angel eyes and lie to
you as easy like as if their tongues were
oiled. Many a penny have lost be-
cause could not believe that mere
babies would try to swindle me. When
I catch them at it they run out, Just as
those girls did, without saying anything
but that doesn't keep them from coming
back with new tricks. The boys about
here are just as bad as the girls. One
little rascal wanted change for silver
dollar, telling ME that his mother had
sent him. He kept the dollar in his
hand until counted out the change,
and then he slipped the big silver piece
into his mouth. I didn't see him do it
either, and if he hadn't tried to say
thank you with his mouth full I would
have lost the dollar. Why, half a dozen
girls were in here getting sticks of candy
but hadn't paid for it, when boy stuck
his head in at the door and shouted
Say, missus, your sign has tumbled
down. His eyes bulged out as if he
was scared, and my heart gave such a
jump that I could hardly get out to the
sidewalk. That sign was all right. The
girls left the store while was trying to
catch the boy, and afterwards they de-
clared that they paid for their candy
when they got it. Oh, it is horrible to
think what bad men and women these
children will be when they grow up.
Such deceit in babies didn't exist when
L was girl. I wouldn't believe it if 1
didn't have to stand here and see it with
my own eyes"
The old woman wiped her left eye with
a corner of her apron, but her right optic
was dry enough to see distinctly the
change which she dropped into the re-
porter's hand. When the reporter after
ward took the trouble to count the money
he found that it was dime short of the
required amount.

A Painful Situation.

IIese.
At landing below Baton Rouge about
thirty colored people came aboard the
boat. Among them was likely young
woman, with whom one of the colored
roustabouts at once fell in love. We all
noticed them making eyes at each other
during the afternoon, and finally gen.
tleman from Illinois said:
II don't seq any reason why they
shouldn't marry"
"But we haven't a clergyman abroad p
queried another.
A third gentleman replied that we had,
and he went off and hunted up man
wearing spectacles and choker and in
formed him that his services would soon
be required. The man from Illinois
went down to the colored woman and
asked if she thought the roustabout
would make good husband, and she re-
piled in the affirmative. He went over
to the man, and he owned up that he
was dead gone. The couple were at
once brought upstairs to the cabin, and
all the passengers collected We chip
ped in 81 apiece, the clergyman gave
his services gratis, and the marriage GER
emony went on in good style. After ev-
erybody had got through congratulating
the happy couple some one inquired Of
the groom what he was going to do.
Oats what I doan' 'zactly know" he
replied as he stood with uncovered head
"You have now enough to go to house
keeping in New Orleans"
Eyes, but de ole woman would hunt
me out down dar."
ssOld woman? Your MOTHER"
mo, sab; my wife! Pze got a wife an
TO- chill'en in Vicksburg."
At this the bride uttered yell, the
clergyman sank into the nearest chair,
and the silence became profound and
painful We had gone and married a
married man to a young woman.

as he iingled our collection in his pocket.
II didn't know muffin bout it" added
the bride as she walked out OF the cabin.
The preacher said nothing could be
done, but the captain took the groom by
the esr and remarked;
John Henry, you can keepthe money,
but you let that woman alone. If
1 find you speaking to her I'll break
your back. Move along, now.'
And that was Mississippi river mar

Wanted Time To Think

They says Scotchman can't see joke.
If he can't he is only honest enough to
showit. But he is not quite as honest as
an Englishman who is at present here.
At a little reception the other evening this
Englishman was present. A young
gentleman in the company repeated that
old story put upon Paul Neumann many
years ago. He went home one morning
early in a slightly befudled state Of
mind and unsteady condition of body.
His wife awoke as he entered the room.
'What time is it ?" she asked sleepily.
"A quarter Of H." said Paul.
"What nonsense! The clock has Just
struck g."
'Well, amt that quarter of 1922

Lock the Stable Door Now.

Chicago News.
Cholera still fingers along the Med
iterranean coast, as shown by the recent
arrival of another infected vessel at Ven
ice. Contrary to its course in every pre-
ceding epidemic the disease has failed to
reach this country within the first two
years of its invasion of Europe. This
may be due to improved sanitary methods
limiting it to the countries most directly
exposed to importation from its native
region. The prolonged and fatal cpl
demic in Spain-where sanitary science
is almost unknown Strengthens this
view. But whether this be the real cause,
or whether its tardy extension is only one
OF the many capricious diseases, it remains
certain that so long as any trace of the
infection exist in Europe this country is
in danger.
American authorities are agreed as to
the entire feasibility of preventing its in
PRODUCTION, and even England, which, in
the interest of her commerce, has presis-
tently and strenuously fought all quaran-
tine measures, is beginning to yield to
the Logic of facts. A recent number of
the official organ of the British Medical
Association cites the immunity hitherto
enjoyed by the Australian colonies as
furnishing the strongest evidence of ':the
efficacy of a rational system of quarantine
and inspection in excluding it from coun-
tries in which it has not permanently
established itself" After stating the
favoring conditions of exposure, climate,
imperfect sanitary measures, ETC.,
it sums up in these words: 1.-THE
dangers to Australia are great, but they
are more easily obviated than elsewhere.
In other words, quarantine has been sue
cessful because it is practicable, and SO
it might be in preventing another invasion
of America from Europe"
DR.. Rauch, secretary of our state
board of health, has fully set forth what
is necessary to this end. As the result
of recent inspection of the quarantine
defenses along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts he insists upon the establishment
of at least two or more national refuge
stations and the full equipment and
active maintenance of those already
nominally in existence. With these and
uniform general system of inspection
at all ports-the authorities to be kept
fully informed of public health conditions
abroad by consular agents and intelh-
gent medical officers when necessary-he
SAYS 'sthere would be no reason to appre-
bend the introduction of cholera or any
other foreign pestilence. To secure this
exemption national Legislation is abso-
lutely necessary land this we win prob
ably get after the epidemic has begun.

is to boil in a kettle as many cattle's

we'll worth the trifing cost Of making it.

happy,

A correspondent says: The modes
of flirting which are known in the North
and which are supposed to be innocent,
though to some extent mischievous, are
altogether to slow for Washington. A
great many cheeky young society men
here are in the habit of introducing
themselves to ladies, and they are not
often snubbed. Women who move in
respectable circles are accustomed to
sending notes to members of congress,
with whom they have no acquaintance
ship, soliciting private interviews. Usu-
ally they want an office, but are not
above accepting promises from these
men. It is very difficult to draw the
line between the good and the bad.
Anybody attempting to do so is apt to
become terribly confused. Probably
the great mass Of people here, as IN 9th
er places, mean well, but they are ex-
tremely reckless in their social conduct.
