A North Carolina Hermit.

In cutting through gorge in the
Blue Ridge Mountains, near Bunconbe
County, North Carolina, recently,
party of convicts, in charge of Captain
w. C. Troy, at work on a railroad,
found an ancient hermitage dug out Of
the side of the mountain, in secluded
place. 1t was a rude hut, constructed
with few poles and boards, with one
window with single pane, 8x6, to adj
NIT the light. The only occupants were
an old hermit, who has lived there more
than fifty years, a large yellow dog.
big cat and raccoon. The appear
ances were those of happy family. In
conversation with the old man, Captain
Troy found him very ignorant. He
never had seen steam-engine
or railroad, and was great
ly disturbed because the laborers
interfered with his home. His bed
clothes were large bear-skins sewed to-
gether, with beautiful buck hide as his
fancy spread to use on big occasions.
The brackets on the walls were of inn
mense deer horns, and the gun rack
over the door was of the same material.
The old fellow is a great singer, and
amused the Captain greatly with vocal
music. Chicago Times.

A Trait Whose Beauty and Power Can Not
He Ovor-Estimated.
Who does not admire the power and
beauty of this trait! To my mind, it
more than any other gives honor and
dignity to its possessor. Witness two
cases of behavior under provocation.
Abuse borne in quiet patience awakens
for the sufferer our ready sympathy;
while one who RACES and vows venge-
ance on his prosecutor loses part of our
pity, in the scorn which he provokes.
There is greatness in the one who holds
himself in submission. If it is "better
to rule ones own spirit, than to take a
city," how much better than
to WELD, through selfshness. the
wills of our friends. There are
those who, if fearful of losing
their own way. will indulge in a fit Of
passion, even to bringing on illness,
making all the other members of the
family feel obliged to lay aside their own
feelings and walk with the greatest fear
of exciting such consequences. Cases
have been known where this person was
not a child but the wife and mother of a
grown-up family. Father and children
may develop an unusual amount of kind
thoughtfulness, rendering them very
pleasing; but, alas! it can not prevent
the contempt they must feel for the self
ish and passionate wilfulness which has
wrought in them this result. Dear read
ers! You can not afford to grow into
such character. Commence early to
practice self-control.-C Christian at Work.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.

A Business That Requires Continual and
Honest Study.
1t is the reading man who makes the
best success in life, for he keeps up
with the progress of the times. In
the papers he finds the steady record of
all that is being done or learned in
raising sheep and growing wool.
1t is not an uncommon experience to
find inexperienced fiockmasters in the
midst of dilemma to them, which is
no dilemma to others; and it ought
to be fact recognized by everybody
who is engaged in the business of rals-
ing sheep and growing wool, or who
contemplates engaging in it. that there
are some intricacies about it. The idea
is too prevalent that sheep will take
care of themselves. Years gone by
they were largely left to do so, and as
we have often remarked, they will prob
ably do better with less care than any
animal on the farm. But if sheep hus-
bandry is to be made really profita-
BILE business, it must be understood and
have intelligent and industrious atten-
ton. And this, of course, must begin
with the breeding.
But while the fiockmaster can learn
much by reading with reference to this,
he can not learn everything, and it is as
important for him to know this as it is
to know that he would be benefited by
reading. There is great deal that can
only be learned by experience in almost
every business. But in sheep husbandry
there is conspicuously such thing as
natural adaptability, and unless
a man is naturally fitted for
be a successful fiockmaster. One writer
says that ''it is gift of NATURE and he
is largely right. But with this 'sgift''
an intelligent beginning will likely re-
suit favorably. To the vast majority of
breeders sheep husbandry is not the nice
art that it is to the originator of breed.
Sheep are kept for the money they bring
in from year to year, and the highest
aim is to keep the flock up to a stand
ard, or to improve it to an ideal stand
ard. Get such q ram, therefore, as you
want, one that is strong, and of marked
prepotency; and if you get ram of that
character. better keep him just as long
as possible. You will then have a uni
form flock, and know what you

than one is used, aim to strengthen
the weak points of one by using the 9th
ers according to defined system. The
subject of in-and-in breeding will likely
present itself very soon to the Intelligent,
thoughtful breeder. If the system is
followed to any extent, it must be with
the utmost care,
In the selection of the eve for breed
ing purposes, it will be well to select
carefully if the flock furnishes the OPP
portunity. When flock is being bred
up. there is often little to choose be-
tween the ewes. They may be all poor
enough, and it is necessary to take such
as we have. Short stapled, light shear
ers, of coarse, are to be rejected when
there is choice. Long necked, fat
ribbed and leggy ewes are not fit to
breed from if anything better can be
had. Neither breed from one with
sharp rump. If you have eve whose
hind quarters are very heavy as COM
pared with the fore-qnarters. she will
make gvud breeder. - Westcru Rural

THE FINGER NAILS.
How to Trim Them and How to Avoid MI
ct, OF

How to Trim Them and How to Avoid Mis-.
shapen Nails.
Few people understand how to cut
their nails" said the young lady
manicure. "a knife or scissors should
nail with small file, and then carefully
smooth down and bevel the roughened
edges with emery board, which keeps
them from breaking and trains them to
a symmetrical growth. Another impor-
tant point where people neglect their
nails is in allowing the skin to grow out
on the base of the nail. This should be
carefully pushed back with blunt in
strument at least once week. l soak
the hands of my customers in tepid
water few minutes before do this, so
as to soften the cuticle. This is neces-
sary, as otherwise it is liable to break.
1t requires great care, as the base of
the nail, which is very sensitive, may be
bruised, or the delicate edge of the skin
broken. Another place where care is
needed is at the sides of the nail, where
it leaves the fingers. Lack of attention
to this either hardens the end of the fin
ger or produces the untidy and painful
hang nails, which disfigure so many
hands. In filing the nails the file should
always be drawn from the finger and to-
ward the end of the nail ~
"What are the hardest things to over
come in operating on hands that have
been neglected.
There are several things. Mothers
sometime make practice of cutting
their children's nails almost square with
a pair of scissors. That hardens the end
of the finger and produces a misshapen
nail. 1t can be overcome, however, in
time. BY fling the nail from the sides
it can be narrowed by degrees to that
filbert shape which is considered the
height of beauty. The finger will still
be blunt, but even that will be remeded
to some extent. Then we have the peo-
pie who bite their finger nails off close.
They are hard customers to deal with.
The nail is deformed and brittle, and
care has to be taken in dealing with it.
Manicures use preparation to stop the
biting and then correct the other defects
by degrees.
.Do you know there are several dis
eases of the finger-nails?" she continue
ed; "well, there are. One is called

parasites which cause the trouble can
be seen growing in among the COM

dirty brown color, streaked with

WILLIAM G. RALSTON.
The Extravagances of the Noted Californi.

The Extravagances of the Noted California
Pioneer.
William C. Ralston was probably the
most extraordinary man California ever
has known, and he left mark on his
State which can never be eradicated.
Whatever may have been his sins, fol-
lies and weaknesses his genius can never
be questioned, and it would no more
be possible to write history of Cali
fornia, without mention of Ralston's
name, than to sum up the career of
India and forget what is owed to War
rem Hastings. The great monument he
has left to his name is the Bank of Cali
fornIa. He organized it, put his for
tune into it, drew those of other rich
men into it by his rare personal mag
netism and the administrative power
which all men intuitlvely recognized,
and in short time the Bank of Cali
lorna became what it has since re-
mained-the leading financial institu-
ton of the Pacific coast. But the
Bank of California did not salts
fly Ralston's ambition. 1t was
but the instrument of his
great primary aim, which was
to increase the glory and the con-
sequence of California and of Ralston.
He built magnificent house at Bel
mont, on the Southern Pacific Railroad,
and entertained in a style which has
never been approached by any Califor-
MAN before or since. Not tourist or
party of note came to the State but was
carried down to Belmont in a special
car, banqueted, driven from one end of
the county to the other. had the ball room
thrown open and city and county con-
voked, and then, more often than not,
sent under the guidance of one of Raj
ston's friends to visit Yosemite, Big
Trees and the Geysers at their hosts ex-
pense. In all this there was strong
flavor of snobbery. of course-it was o.
tentatious, it was ornate, it lacked re-
finement; but it had character of its
own; it had sparkle and dash and
glitter that was different from the ordi-
nary entertaining as Ralston was unlike
every other parvenu. Nothing that he
did had in it a suggestion of the COM
monplace; everything was gigantic, be-
wildering, prince-like, often absurd,
but always original. / remember
when the Burlingame party was out
here. He invited the entire embassy,
together with number of the most
prominent men in San Francisco, MAX
ing company of one hundred and ten
in all, down to Belmont to dinner. The
party were assembled in the library
awaiting the announcement of dinner,
when loi the wall in front of them
moved almost inaudibly, then rose
slowly, like the curtain of theater, and
disappeared in the ceiling above, while
beyond lay revealed the great banquet
ing hall, a blaze of light chrystal and
shimmering silver and gold. The coup
de-theatre had its effect, The strangers,
in spite of their good breeding, were as
dazzled and astonished as Ralston could
possibly have desired. Every thing was
on the same great scale. The house at
Belmont has something like a hundred
and twenty bedrooms, and is the larg-
est as well as the most beautiful private
residence in the State.-Cor. Providence
Journal.

lights in the city government, but now
forgotten. To add to the attractiveness
of the island, Tweed built the cottage
mentioned. still standing, and placed
over it tall flag staff.
After Tweed's escape in 1874 the cot
tage was said to be his hiding place, and
for several days oystermen were en-
plOyed in boating detectives and report
ers to this place in search of clews.
From that time till 1877 the island was
the resort of oyster thieves by night and
an occasional picnic party by day. The
cottage lost its coat of paint and was
gradually falling into decay, when
poor FISHERMAN, James M. Morrell,
took possession of it, and went to work
to restore the place to its former attract
iveness. Last winter, in the Rocky-Neck
store, Morrell boasted that he would
soon own the island by adverse posses
sion and doubtless he would, had he
talked less upon the subject. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
owners of the Indian Harbor Hotel.
They wanted it,. and State Treasurer Al
fred L. Goodrich declared the land to be
an escheat, and petitioned the Probate
Court for an order of sale for the benefit
of the State.
During the progress of the proceeding
William F. S. Mclaughlin, of Plain
field, N. j., appeared as witness, and
he astonished every one by producing
warrantee deed, executed in 1888. and
conveying the island, for $35. to his
father, John G. Mclaughlin. of Jersey
City. Mclaughlin testified that his
father had purchased the island suppos-
ing that it abounded in potter's clay.
Finding that he was mistaken, he con-
sidered it of no value; he died twenty
years ago. The deed was found on rec
ord. but had been omitted in the index.
The escheat proceedings then ended, and
the Mclaughlin heirs agreed to sell the
island to the hotel.-N Y Tribune.

TWEED'S ISLAND.
The Mystery of the Place Where Politi-
clans Once Held Carnival.

Ehe Mystery of the Place Where Politi-
clans Once Held Carnival.
Lying at the mouth of the Indian
Harbor. Greenwich, Conn.,, beautiful in
its combination of rocks and shade
trees, is Tweed's Island. Summer
boarders at the hotel have often cast en-
vieus chances across the water at the
rough FISHERMAN occupying tasty cot
tage high above the sound and have
asked many questions concerning the
history and ownership of the spot.
Those who landed there reported having
seen. hanging in the best room, beau
tiful erayon portrait of VIM. M. Tweed.
The kind. benevolent expression, that
which was always potent with the
masses, appears as in life. The picture
once hung in the parlor of the Ameri-
Gus Club House. When the club was dis
solved, the crayon found it's way into
the oysterman's cottage.
Until recently the ownership of
Tweed's Island has been unknown. Old
residents told of Jonathan Finch, who,
seventy-five years ago, called it his,
claiming to have purchased it for calf.
But the land records were silent. Finch
had no deed. and for many years it was
untaxed. unclaimed and uninhabited.
When Tweed and the Americas Club
went to Indian Harbor, twenty-five
years ago, he attempted to purchase
the island. The ancient books
with untanned hide covers in the
town clerks office were carefully
searched, but no title was found in any
one of them. Three years afterward.
on August 80, 1868. the club, amid
great hilarity, and after careful prepar-
alton. seized the island in behalf of
thier chief and beloved upon it his
name. That occasion was one of the
many grand festive days at Indian Har-
Dor. Quincy. the photographer. was on
