WHAT SHALL BE DONE!
RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. I, 1885.

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. I, 1885.
The situation OF Ii Farmers, and
more especially of those in the Eastern
Counties, is a serious one With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else in the
same proportion- it is doubtful whether
our people cam make cotton at all
with the old method. Thousands of
thoughtful mem all through the
South are considering earnestly this
question: WHAT SHALL BE DONE7
With prices of their products way down
and the prices of all they buy not re-
duced in the same proportion what
shall be done to feed the family buy
clothes and send the. children to school
during this New Year, All this time
sensible men are cutting down every ex-
pense and resolving that they will make
more at home. Milk, meat, vegetables
must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved CORN, outs and grass
must be provided for the horses COWS
and hogs. High-priced fertilizers and eve
nv extra thing are entirely out of the
question. The wise man will buy the
cheapest and best ingredients only and
make fertilizers at home this year.
At this time, THE NORTH CARROLL
Ma PHOSPHATE COMPANY, an ex-
clusively North Carolina Company work,
ing nothing but North Carolina material.
wants to inform the prudent mem just
described how they can help themselves
and help a home enterprise by buying
LIME PHOSPHATE, the cheapest Phos-
phate ever sold in North Carolina ItE
to the interest of every farmer in North
Carolina to write to the NORTH CARO-
LIMA PHOSPHATE COMPANY at
Raleigh, n. c., and learn how to save
money and make a good fertilizer that
will make a good crop at a very low
price.

Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibly why your wife don't get on
with the household affairs "as your
mother did," she is doing her best,
and no woman can endure that best
to be sighted. Remember the long,
weary nights she sat up with the
little babe that died; remember the
love and care she bestowed upon
you when you had hat long spell of
sicksess. Do you think she is made
of cast-irOn? Wait-wait in silence
and torbearance, and the light will
come back to her eyes-the light OF
the old days. Wait, wife, before you
speak reproachfully to your hus-
band when he comes home late,
and tout Of "sorts.' He worked hard
for you all day-perhaps far into
the night; has wreStled hand in
hand with care and seltishness and
greed, and all the demons that fol
low in the train of money-making.
Let home be another atmosphere
entirely. Let him feel that there is
one place in the world where he can
find peace, quiet and perfect love.

LITTLE THINGS.

Springs IRE little things, but they
are sources of large streams; a helm
is a little thing, but it governs the
course of a ship; a bridl4-bit is a
little thing, but we know itS use and
power. Nails and pegs aye little
things, but they hold the parts of a
large building together. A word, a
look, a smile, a frown are little
things, but powerful for good or
evil. Think of this, and mind the
little things. Pay that little debt;
if it is a promise, redeem it; if it is a
dallar, hand it over. You know not
what important events may hang
upon it. Keep your word sacred
keep it to the children-they will
mark it sooner than anyone else, and
the effect will probably be as lasting
as life. Mind little things.

President Cleveland's matrimonial
good luck comes to him from sleep

A TO

He has no Joy who has no trust!
The greatest faith brings greatest pleas
And | believe because | must
And would believe in perfect measure.
Therefore send,
To you, my friend,
This KEY to open mines of treasure:
Whatever else your hands restrain,
Let faith be free and trust remain.
Believe in Summers sun and shade,
Although to-day the snow be falling;
Expect glad voices in the glade,
Though now the winds alone are call
ing,
Have eyes to see
How fair things be;
Let Hope, not Fear, prove most en-
thralling;
And skies that shine will oftenest be
Stretched lovingly over thine and thee.
Have loyal faith in all thy kin,
Believe the best of one another;
One Fathers heart takes all men in,
Be not suspicious of thy brother.
If one deceive
Why disbelieve
The rest, and so all kindness smother
Who the most looks for love will find
Most certainly that hearts are kind.
Regard the age with hopeful thought,
Not it, but thou myself art debtor:
Behold what wonders have beer wrought,
Believe the world is getting better.
Oh, be thou brave
To help and save,
And free mems hands from every fetter,
Yet know that CHEEKY hopefulneSs
Is the great factor in success.
Above all things in God believe.
And in His love that lasts forever;
No changeful friend thy heart to grieve
Is He who will forSake thee never.
In shine or shower
His blessings dover
The souls that trust with strong en-
deavor;
Believe, believe, for faith is best,
Believe, and find unbroken rest.

TONGUE TOAST.

Make some slices of toast. not very
thick, Drowned evenly all over on
both sides and minus crust. Butter
it slightly. Crate with a large gra-

A DRINK.

The juice of a lemon, mixed with
four times as much water, I'M
sugared and drank just before bed
time, will do more to counteract ma
larial influences and correct a sur-
plusage OF bile than a dozen blue
pills.
NICE CAKE.
One cupful of sugar mixed with
two tablespoonfuls Of butter; add
one cupful offiour, one teaspoonful OF
baking powder, half a cupful Of corn
starch, half a cupful Of milk and the
whites of three eggs, favoring with
vanilla. Bake in a good oven.
BAKED HAM.
"Put a small ham, from nine to
eleven pounds, | prefer, on in a large
pot and let it simmer along half an
hour to a pound and an extra half
hour for allowance, but don't let it
boil up once skim it once in a while
and renew the water with a dipper
of cold water. Before you 60 to bed
take it out, though it would not hurt
if it stood all night in the water, and
pull off the skin. An hour before
you want to have dinner, pull out
the bone-you can do it if it's cooked
all right, if you cut round it with a
sharp knife-and put a stuffing in
the place. The stuffing must be
made of nothing but dry bread-ba-
ker's is much the best if you can get
it-seasoned with salt, sage and
thyme; that's all; no wetting nor
no butter. Then cover the ham with
the blacklist kind of brown sugar
half an inch thick, and put it in the
oven for half an hour, basting with
sugar as it runs off. The oven mustn't
be too hot or the sugar will burn. If
it is done right, the ham will look us
if it had a thick chocolate frosting.

Time.
UPPER ST. JOHNS. Oct. -.
Special Co. respondence of THE NEWS.
trust the regatta announced in THE
News to come off at Palatka will be a
success. The management is in good
hands, and all vachtsmen should turn
out and make the occasion a pleasant
one.
To make the regatta what it should be
requires some attention TO rules and reg
ulations. BY following carefully the
rules governing such races failure is inn
possible.
The boats on the st. Johns at and near
Paiatka are heterogeneous lot. and to
divide them into their respective classes
Is the first subject for consideration, and
an important one. To begin with, round
and flat bottom boats should be divided
into distinct classes and not sailed to-
gether. The round bottom boats, we will
say, should be divided into four classes,
viz: 1st. class-18 feet and upwards.
I'd. class-Anything under IS feet. The
flat bottomed boats also should be di-
vided into classes, taking average length
from those entered, calling the larger
ones 3D.. class and smaller ones 4th. In
case there are any sharpies entered, on
account OF their extreme length, they
should be sailed in a special class. This
classification will probably cover the
boats in the vicinity of Paiatka, and be
fair one. If the relative merits of
center-board and keel wish to be tested
they may also be divided into classes.
Most yachts have two suits of sails, a
cruising rig and racing rig, the latter
consists of principal sails being larger
than cruising rig, and also additional
light ones being ADDED. Most of our
boats have only the cruising or working
rig, therefore the best plan would be to
sail with that rig. The following may

There is ruuch room Tor improvement

There is rnuch room FOR improvement
in boats on the st. Johns. The Sharpe
il probably the boat best adapted to cruis-
ing in and about Florida, on account of
its light draft for our shallow waters,
easily handled, and the bulk Of the sail
low down, which is a necessary thing in
river sailing, with fiawy winds, and
thereby decreasing the heelipg of the
vessel. The Sharpie is hardly adapted
for racing with the ordinary run of
yachts, because the Sharpe would have
to give so much allowance to them. 1t
is best. therefore, to race them by them
selves. A regatta of ShaI pies would be
a splendid sight, for they are seaworthy
enough to sail out gale .and with sheets
started they go like race horses.
The proper aim of yacht club shonld
be to encourage the building and inn
provsment of yachts. The great trouble
with boats built here is that most of
them are built by the thumb, or guess
rule. Boat building and designing is not
guess work, but is governed by scien-
tific rules in the designing of hulls and
placing of sails and spars to u AXE a
proper balance, or proportion of sails to
the hull; also the amount of sail for the
work to be done, to say nothing of the
fitting of the sails and rigging. The rule

WISE MEMS VAGARlES.

How Grave Men Sometimes Give Their

Speaking of Alderman d." said Toronto
street barrister the other day, who had been
laughing heartily at some of the recent
vagaries of that worthy, Il believe every
man makes n fool of himself at some time or
other, gets some idiotic mania into his
head. Now, / know a staid, sedate, thirteen
stone, 35-year-old lawyer, of this city, who is
constantly plagueing his friends by chal-
longing, them to stand on their heads when
ever he finds himself alone with them He is
an expert at this remarkable feat, and his
numerous legal friends are placed at a great
disadvantage whenever they enter into the
competition. Has office boy tells me that this
mania is 50 strong upon him that he not in
frequently, when he and the boy are alone,
places blottinS pad on the floor in corner
Of the room, and, planting his head thereon,
elevates his feet until his heels are hard
against the wall, then folds his arms and
smilesa smile horribly suggestive of apoplexy.
"His wife tells me he is a family man, you
see-that he acquired this extraordinary habit
in his bachelor days, and that she has great
difficulty in preventing an exhibition of her
spouse's talent in this line every night in the
bedroom.
.Thc only way to my friend of his
mania appears to be to display a superior ac-
cofhpil'hiiiehI. wen, ohe evening ne c'iiieu
upon a clerical friend, of this city, and, as
they happened to be alone in the parlor, he
made the usual challenge.
Its all nonsense, my dear fellow, said the
clergyman, who was about tired of his
friends exhibition; standing on the head is
child's play compared with walking on ones
hands, and can do that and, so saying, he
downed on all fours, placed his head in a soft
place on the carpet, threw up his legs in sue
cession until they were both upright in the
air, AMI then started at four nile-an-hour
pace to walk, at least to progress across
the parlor, his head humping on the ground
at irregular intervals. 1t was funny sight,
