Great DeSiitutIOn In Texas.

WASHINGTON, October 2S.-Rev
John Brown, formerly of this city,
now located at Albany, Texas, is
here for the purpose Of calling the
attention of the benevolent to the
deep distress which prevails in
Northwest Texas, owing to the lack
of rain for the past fifteen months.
lie estimates that there are twenty
Thousand families still in need of
immediate relief, and he has a des-
patch from Senator Fleming, which
says that at least ten thousand
bushels of seed wheat are wanted
at once. The Agricultural Depart
ment will supply destitute farmers
with vegetable seed, but it cannot
give wheat. The West has already
given thirteen car loads Of wheat,
which the railway companies haul
free of charge.

Remarkable Escape.

David Hoffman and his son ia
cob, of Jefferson county, w. Va.
recently had one of the most mlrac
ulOus escapes from death on record
They we're returning from church
at Shepherdstown last Sunday,
and had just reached an elevation
known as Tigg's Run Hill, when
their horse went over a precipice
one hundred feet high, carrying
with it the buggy and its two occu.
pants. Although the vehicle was
overturned in its decent, and wal
considerably shattered, neither Mr.
Hoffman nor his son were injured,
ard the horse was only bruised and
scratched by coming into contact
with the rocks, some of which are
three feet high. Mr.. Hoffman is
eighty years Of age.

The Egg Supply.

Some people do not believe that
eggs are imported into this cOun-
try every year by millions. The
Treasury Department furnishes the
statement, and that is all We have
to 90 by. In 1876 the importation
of eggs amounted 20 S63O,OOO in
value. -Four years later, in 1880,
the number increased to 7,773,492
dozens, and their value was placed
at 1901, 900. Last year the figures
swelled to 1G,09S,000, and their
value the vast sum of S2,l7G,OOO.
In spite of these figures, the cry
often goes up that "there are two
many people raising chickens"
The importations for this year are
far ahead of those of last year, and
it is quite probable that this cOun-
try will send to foreign markets
for eggs alone, over three million
dollars during the present twelve
months. 1t is about time this
money was being kept at home.

A Timely Rescue
From a Most Fearful Death.

From a Most Fearful Death.
The Wilmington DELI Morning
No,cs, of September Sth, 1886, gives
the following history Of a proml-
nent business mans pIncky fight
and terrible experience with tha5
much dreaded aud always-to-be-
feared disease, Cancer:
Some five years ago a barber ac-
cidentally cut my lower lip while
shaving me. The pain was very
slight and for some time hardly
gave it passing thought. Final
ly it assumed the condition Of a
wart, which refused to heal entirely
with all my efforts in that direc.
ton. | went to one of the leading
physicians in Philadelphia, who
treated me three months for cancer,
and sent me home cured as he said.
Bnt | was apprehensive. | was
told by a prominent physician OF
Wilmington that | would surely
die of cancer. About this time |
heard of the wonderful cures effect
ed by Swifts Specific, known a. S.

nervous prostration. After I had
given S. s. S. fair trial this all
disappeared, and | felt like myself
again.

eral months, and before could re.
alize how it came about, | was a
new man again. In fact | was
cured-never felt better in my life,
and from that time up to the pres.
ent | have never felt the least evil
dence of q return of my old trouble.
The cancer disappeared over a year
ago, but ! refrained from making
the cure public before this, as |
wished to be certain that | was
cured. My condition is perfectly
normal; / have none of those an.

Small Feet Of Southern Women.

A woman of medium height may
have a finely shaped foot, such as
common rumor gives to Mrs. Cleve-
land, but in the South a No. 81
slipper is not usually designated as
dainty. Probably y is as large as
the term will stand. People who
frequent Southern bathrooms and
summer resorts comment upon the
fact that extreme small feet-feet
encased in slippers running from
No. to 24-are largely IN the ma
jOrity. Not many years since this
subject was discussed in a ball.
room in Macon, and experts were
able to discover that out of eigh-
teen pairs present and twinkling in
the mazes of the dance but three
numbers larger than y, and in the
assembly were damsels who would
tip the beam at 125.
This preponderance of small feet
in the South among ladies of high
social standing has been accounted
for on many theories, the most nat
ural one, we think, being the ex-
PLANTATION that these ladies do not
use their feet with the freedom and
cOnstancy that may be observed in
other sections. They are not walk
ers, in the first place. 1t is a rare
thing to find in Southern cities la
dies of the class described who
average two miles walking per day
the year round. Climate and road.
WAYS as well as custom are against
pedestrian exercise; the feet are
small because they are not fully
developed by use. OF course, we
speak in a general sense, because
there are families in which small
feet are clearly an Inheritance and
continue small despite exercise con-
tinuOus and severe.

WOMEN AND MONEY.

Every girl who is not entirely de-
pendent on her male reIatiOns-a
position which, considering all the
ups and downs in life, the sooner
she gets out of the betteT-Ought,
declares the author of "JOhn Hall
fax, Gentleman in the Contempor-
| arg Bcric,r, 10y the time she is old
enough to possess any money to
know exactly how much she has,
where it is invested, and what 1t
ought yearly to bring in. BY this
time also she should have acquired
some knowledge of buSiness-bank
business, referring to checks, divi-
dends, and so On-and as much OF
ordinary business as she can. To
her information of a practical kind
never comes amiss, especially the
three golden rules which have very
rare exceptions: no investment of
over 5 per cent. isreally safe; trust
no one with your money without Sc
curity, which ought to be as strict
between the nearest and dearest
friends as between strangers and
lastly, keep all your affairs from
day to day in as accurate order as
if YOU had to die tomorrow. The
mention of dying suggests another
necessity-as soon as you aretwen-
ty-one years Of age make your will.
You will not die a day sooner; you
can alter it whenever you like,
while the ease of mind it will be to
YOU, and the trouble it may save
to those that come after you, are
beyond telling. 1t cannot be too
strongly impressed upon every girl
who has or expects that not unde-
sirable thing, "a little income of
her own" what a fortunate respOn-
sibiity this is, and how useless she
may make it to others. Happier
than the lot of many married wo-
men is that Of the "nnapprOpriated
blessing" as | have heard an old
maid called, who has her money,
less or more, in her own hands, and
can use it as she chooses, generous
ly as wisely, without asking any
body's leave, and being acc0unta.
BILE for 1t to no one. But then she
must have learned from her youth
upward how to use it, she must
not spare any amount of trouble in
the using Of it, and she must con-
sole herself for many lonely
regret-we are but human, all of
us with the thought that she
has been trusted to be a steward of
the Great Master Such an old
maid often does as much good in
her generation as twenty married
women.

Profit In Vinegar.

The Western Rural has often
urged the apple grower to at least
turn the apples for which there is
no market into vinegar. 1t is bet
ter to get something than to get
nothing out of such fruit. In
giving this advice we have gener-
ally had this fact in view. But
some of those who make vinegar
making prominent claim this a
profitable way of disposing of the
apple crop. Mr.. j. j. II. Gregory,
the well.known scotsman, claims
that his apples turned into cider
always pay him reasonably well.
The apple grower must decide for
himself, regard being had for the
general market, his nearness to
market, etc. There is a good de-
mand for pure cider vinegar, and
a better demand for it in the towns
and villages than there is in the
cities. That is to say, there is so
much adulterated vinegar IN the
CITY markets that it crowds out the
pure article. We presume that the
average consumer thinks that he Is
getting pure cider vinegar, but If
he buys 1t in the city he is apt to
be mistaken. The authorizations do
not reach the towns to such a large
extent, though no doubt they do to
some extent. But there is a de-
maud for cider vinegar IN these
smaller places that will use up a
large supply, and when we get the
adnlterators where We will yet get
them. there will be a universally
splendid market for good vinegar.

THE HORSE STABLE.

None of our domestic animals
are more entitled to the care OF the
farmer than the horse, and yet,
how frequently is it found to be a
fact that the care of valuable ami.
mails is left almost entirely to the
supervision of the hired help. who
too frequently neglects his charge
when his own convenience is in
volved. In allusion to he care of
the horse while in The stable, Mr..
Il. f. Roberts, in the Maine Farmer,
offers some hints that every owner
of horse should give heed to at
this season. He says that an
opening directly above the horses
head into the haylolt makes it eX-
tIemely and necessarily uncOmfOr.
table for the horse IN winter
There is a constant current of cold
air descending through the open
ing provided for supplying the rack
or manager with hay; and every
particle Of air warmed by the
breath or by The contact with the
horse is forced upward or out of the
stall in some direction by the cold

though well blaHketed. | examin-
ed, to learn where the cold air
came from. The walls were ex-
cellent and quite impenetrable, and
the doors were as well fitted as
sliding doors can he. | saw that
the stalls were furnished with iron
hay racks placed in the extreme
top of the stall, the top of the rack
being on a level with the floor

ing, and it was no wonder the
horses were shivering. The racks
were wide at the top, and slOped to
the wall. 1t is impossible for a
horse to eat from such a rack with.
ont getting dust and seeds in his
foretop. Such an opening makes
a good ventilator in summer, but
it is always Objectionable to have
the ventilation through the hay. A
stable needs ventilation summer
and winter, aud it can be had in
better ways.
The old.fashioned, open manger
is also Objectionable in more than
one respect. The horse stands
continually with his head over the
manger, and is always breathing
on the hay whether eating or not.

compulsion of hunger. 1t iseasy to
understand why the hay is made
dlstasteful. In human respiration
the breath expired contains 400
parts of carbOnic acid gas IN 1000.
This is sufficient to eXtinguish the
light of a common kerosene house
lamp, if expired where the air en-
tiers the burner being prevented
by a cloth on the opposite side
Even if there be no larger pro
portion Of carbonic acid gas in
brute respiration, we can easily
comprehended why it is often
necessary to throw good hay out
of the manger and replepish with
fresh hay. When fed on the bare
ground out of doors, animals will
eat their fodder up clean, because
the expired breath is Immediately
carried away. This is the reason
why sheep will eat more hay when
fed on clean, frozen ground than
when fed in racks, especially if
given large quantities at a time.
