TRUE HOSPITALITY.

| pray you, oh, excellent wife!
cumber not yourself and me to get a
curiously rich dinner for this man
and who has Just alighted
at our gate; nor a bed-chamber
made ready at too great a cost; these
things, if they are curious in them,
they can get for a few shilIings in
any village inn; but rather let that
stranger see, ifhe will, in your looks
accents and behavior, your heart
and earnestness, your thought and
will, that which he cannot buy at
any price in any city and which he
may travel miles, and dine sparely
and sleep hardly to behold. Let not
the emphasis of hospitality lie in bed
and board; but let truth and love
and honor and courtesy flow in all
your deeds.-Emerson.

PECANS.

We have referred so often to the
subject of Pecans and pecan trees
that we are almost ashamed to call
the name again, but we see that we
are not alone in our estimate of the
value of pecan culture and we are
SO much pleased to meet with a
colaborer that we must recur to it.
We are of opinion that there is big
and easy money in a pecan nursery
near this town. We have an assured
faith that there would be more
money in an acre planted in good
pecan nuts in three or four years
than in any other agricultural pro
duct. It is the finest ornamental
Tree we hase and if it could be easily
obtained it would displace the elm
as a shade tree. IF planted for fruit
it would pay handsomely. See what
Mr.. Peek, of Georgia proposes to do,
and go and do likewise. Pecan
trees at three years from planting
sell for one dollar. Make your own
calculations as to the profits of an
acre in pecans:

TRIPLES.

One by n the drops are falling
On the hard and finty stone,
And often idly wondered
What their feeble strength had done.
One by n the tiny coral,
Dashed about by every wave,
Sinking to the oceans bottom,
Find, 'twould seem, an endless grave.
One by n our words and actions,
Little, worthless, seem to be,
Doing nothing like the water,
Lost, like coral, in the sea.
Yet, when time has %journeyed onward,
When the waters cease to flow,
In the rock a deep-worn crevice
Their united powers show.
Now above the oceans surface,
Standing there in bold relief,
Formed by many little atoms,
Stands the mighty coral reef.
Words and deeds, though trifies SEEM
ing,
Greater things can do than these,
Greater than dissolve a mountain.
Greater than to fill the seas.
They together, great and mighty,
Either for the right or wrong,
They can raise the weak and needy,
Or unite to slay the strong.
-" Harold S0neeUaW."

To feed the fowls the scraps of

THAT the quality of food very

Halt-starved hens that must pick up

To prepare comfortable, sunny
houses if you want eggs in winter;
houses that are dry and have a
southern exposure. If you don't
think it will pay just try it and be
convinced.
To keep a supply of gravel
where the poultry can get at it
without picking out of a frozen
mass.
THAT the hens will lay better if
you have plenty of convenient, cozy
nests in cold weather.
To save all the small potatoes;
turnips, ETC., to cook for the fowls
when all the earth is "brown,"
and not a green thing for them to
pick at.
That because your fowls +

them; feed them charcoal once in
a while, or, what is better, roast
their corn once a week.
To remove their droppings Of
ten and keep them in a dry place
where they can be had in the spring
to enrich some poor spot of ground,
or throw around the apple trees.
That an ounce of sulphuric acid

Millionaire Legislators Seeking Protection
From Cranks and Schemers.
Ii is curious how suspicious wealthy
men become the moment they enter
political life. When they remain in
private life they are constantly on the
lookout for chances for money-making.
But bring them to Washington and put
them into the House or Senate, and
they get an idea that once there they
are the target for every schemer in the
country. One very wealthy man. who
came here recently as a Senator. inSti-
tuted a search rs soon as he arrived for
some man as private secretary who was
especially familiar with all the cranks
and schemers of all sorts. saying
frankly TO his friends that he wanted 4
man to protect him from schemers of
this class. He had always heretofore
proved himself quite competent to take
care of his own business. and had been
able TO accumulate a magnificent for

but is especially careful TO ask those
who become aware of it TO keep the
matter quiet. He recently told the
writer of this correspondence that he
had tried during the past year TO keep
his charities down to one thousand
dollars per month.

he said with apparent glee, ''but for
the fact that / gave ten thousand dol
lars extra in a direction that L did not
count upon when l began my years
work in this line"
Another Senator who is reputed very
wealthy is in a constant state of terror
lest he be made the victim of some
sort of speculation. He has been here
a long time trying to screw his courage
up TO the point of making a certain
real-estate investment in the city, but
has not been able to make up his mind
about it. Meantime others, with much
less capital and not half the oppor-
tunity TO get on the inside In these

Inventors and eXperimenters have
been busy for several years in efforts
70 devise some practical method of
producing heat by fire-by chemical
action of friction. Such device would
be of great value for heating railroad
ears especially for the reason that
many frightful accidents from the
burning of cars by the heating stoves
which they now carry might be oOvi-
ated. A contemporary says: "Of
course f people could get along with
out fire there would be no cOnfiagra-
tons and no use for insurance COM

be interested in a recent invention
which claims 10 generate heat without

Webster Willis, of the Boston Institute
Of Technology, and he describes his
friction heater as simple in cOntruc-
ton, consisting only of an iron cylin-
der, one foot long and one foot in di-
ameter. having a fixed plate of hard
ened iron in one end and aSecOnd plate
attached To a revolving shaft, and
pressed lightly or tightly against the
fixed plate. as circumstances require.
The cylinder i filled with water.

friction of the plates the water in an
incredibly short time Is heated, and by
means of pipes can be carried To great
distances for heating purposes. The
machine has been in practical opera

Stratcd that a machine with thirty-SiX
square inches of friction surface will
heat room of ten thousand cubic feet
better and quicker than coal. wood or
steam can do it. and absolutely without
expense, save the wear of the friction
plates and the pittance for extra coal
under the boiler. BY this apparatus
there is no danger from fire or eXplo-
sion. and wherever there Is waste
power which can be- utilized in this way
the heat is obtained for almost nothing.
Ii is claimed that a heater requiring

heat room containing fifty thousand
cubic feet. the heater costing one hun

further experiment will determine how
useful the invention will prove practi-
cally: but there are those who now

organized in Boston with q capital of

MODERN CALICO.

Why Wooden Goods Have i'm a Large Meas
ure SuppIanted Cotton Materials.
The calico made years ago would
wear twice as long without washing
as the modern calico. More substance
in actual fiber is what is wanted
to regain popularity. Another reason
is the low price that wool has ruled
at for several years past, enabling our
manufacturers to make wooden dress
goods at a very low figure, and these
goods do not require washing. Some
may think they absorb just as much
dirt without showing it, but they do
not. Cotton warp goods with combed
wool filling can now be sold almost as
cheap as calico used, to be sold for.
But let clean wool again run up to one
dollar and over and calico would again
be more in demand. 1t might be in its
new form and under. the more fascin-
ating name of sateen, which is but the
same fabric with the same material and
process of printing. only it is wove on
! three, four or five harness, which en-
sbles the manufacturer TO make what
4 we call a warp or satin face. Sateen
is, in weaving parlance, quarter satin"
both these fabrics take their name
from the method or mannerOf weaving.
Satin is wove on sixteen harness, with
fifteen threads up every time a filing
pack is thrown in; while sateen is
woye on four harness, usually with
three warp threads up every time a fill
ing pick goes in. All observers will
have noticed that satin will not hold
