Athens has no ambition to AID a China

the thing now IN our midst viii not BE-
given any encouragement. In Augusta
they buy all the refused and decayed pro-
visions that thgy can find, and after they

good stock. No honest dealer can COM
pete with these creatures, for they live
Ike brutes. We want 20 see Athens

wADE's MANSION BURNED.
Destruction of One Of the Finest Resi-
denees on the Savannah River.

uehceH ON the shVaHnAh RIVER.
From ne Augusta. C. a. Chronicle.
Intelligence was brought Us by the
steamer Katie Thursday afternoon of the
total destruction by FIRE OF the residence
of Hon. U. z. Wade, at Mobtey's Pond,
Scriven county, last Tuesday evening.
The origin of che confagrati0n il I'M
known. Besides the dwelling, the over
seer's house. stables, fences, etc, were all
destroyed. Loss S30.000, insurance 81. 500.
Wade's mansion has been noted as the
finest residence on the Savannah, 1t was
of two stories, with garnet, splendidly APP
pointed and magnfhcently furnished. The
loss on the furniture will in itself reach
$4,000. Mr.. Wade's library, OF between
1900 and 5000 volumes, worth in the
neighborhOOd OF $4,000, was completely
ruined, only a few books Of the valuable
selection being saved. The cost of con-
structiOn Of the building was $4,000.
The three-fioOr stables and overseer's
residence were also DESTROYED. The
former were probably the best equipped
IA the county, and we're valued at s., 1000.
The stock were saved. The Overseer's
house was burned 10 the ground with fur
niture, etc. The loss by the burning of
fencing. flower gardens, valuable shade
trees, etc., is by no means Insignificant.
The conf1agratiOn resembied the burn
ing Of small village, and could be seen
for miles. Oyerseer Judkins and persons
employed on the place did everything in
their power 10 check the fury OF the
flames. The wind was blowing at the
rate OF 80 miles an hour at the time. rem

Poisoning Birds.

From ne Butter (Gd.j Herald.
We learn there are great many black
birds, field !arks and doves, IN the fields
two or three miles south OF town. The
black bird and field lark is said to be very
destructive 60 small grain, such as wheat,
oats, corn. etc, but the dove is said 70 be
very harmless in this respect. SO annoy
ed have become the farmers in the neigh

the birds. that some one has adopted the
plan OF poisoning the birds with stry CHI
nine. A great macy birds Of all kinds
nave been found recentiy lying scattered
over the fields dead. We would warn

The Human Side of Washington.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale of Boston.
lectnred in the Amphitbeatre, Chautau-
qua, on the "Human Side of Washing
TONI The lecturer said he would try to
enable the audience to appreciate the fact
that Washington was real man and NOT
demi-god. Washington was singularly
human. The real Washington bought lot
terry tickets, and had habit of falling in
love, and was greatly troubled because the
young women would not fall In love with
him. He was bad spelIer; he traded
borses always to his own advantage, and
was the richest American of his day. Lord
Fairfax brought up Washington to become
a thorn in the flesh of George III. The
lecturer had no doubt chat the Ratchet
story was true. Washington was a man
of principle and honor, and in the time Of
the Stamp act was recognized as the Vir-
ginia patriot. Washington was as talka.

e How to Judge Canned Goods.

A hint now about timed goods, meat
especially. Note. when about to purchase,
the condition of the tin; if bulged out
wards, don't have it, even as gift We
will explain the process of canning, to
give weight to our warning.
The meat is packed IN tins while raw,
then sealed, and cooked in an outer vessel
of boiling water, with sometimes the ad-
dition of a chemical to raise the tempera-
ture. When cooked, the can Is pierced,
and, as soon as the air and steam have
been expelled, it is soldered. Experts know
when it is ready for soldering; a moment
too soon, and tho mischief is done, because
if air is left in, the tin bulges, and the
meat will not be good. On the contrary,
if the tin has sunk, it is an infaIlible sign
of goodness; it proves vacuum, which is
natural, as the meat shrinks when no air
is left in the tin.
Some may say, What matter if air be
left in the tin ! Simply this-nitrogen, an
element of air, imparts to bodies with
which it comes in contact tendency to
cnange ana decay.
Often. on opening tin of preserved
goods, people are heard to say ''the air is
escaping" instead of which the slight
Kissing sound is the result of the air rush.
ing in-another proof that there was q
vacuum. Well, VIZ 60 so far as to say
that, assuming the outward sign of good
ness above referred to, a label bearing the
name of good exporter or importer, and
also a reliable vendor of the article.
whether meat, fish, milk, soup or vege-
table, the chances are a million to one
against any being injured, much less
poisoned. by timed goods.
Another caution. though: always look
out for ssny little globules of solder
that sometimes find their way inside the
tin, and take care, especially in the case of
salmon and lobster, to empty the contents,
as soon as opened, into an earthenware
vessel. This is necessary for everyth
except milk.-Cassell's Family magazine.

Tomato Figs.

The following is the method of preserv-
ing tomatoes in Bermuda, and thereby
manufacturing sweet preserve something
like figs: Take six pounds of sugar to one
peck Tor sixteen pounds) of the fruit,
scald and remove the skin in the usual
way; cook them over a fire, their own
juice being sufficient without the addition
of water, until the sugar penetrates and
and they are clarified; they are then taken
out. spread on dishes, fattened and dried
in the sun. A small quantity of the syrup
should be occasionally sprinkled over them
while drying, after which pack them in
boxes. treating each layer with powdered
sugar. The syrup is afterwards concen.
trated and bottled for use. They keep from
year to year, and retain their flavor sur
prisingly, which is nearly that Of the best
quality of fresh figs. The pear shaped or
single tomatoes answer the purpose best.
Ordinary brown sugar may be used, large
portion OF which is retained in the syrup.

Mrs. A. 7. Stewart at 76.

Toad and spent yesterday morning
staring at Mrs. A. T. Stewards Sara
toga grandeur, preparatory to the Hilton
lawn party. Forget everything you ever
read of her, and here's life-size, full
length portrait. To begin at the baptism,
she is rs, but as youthful as 50 in looks
and actions. Her eyes are blue and keen.
her ears are beginning to be treacherous.
but she is not so sensitive as to pretend that
she hears when such is not the case You
touch. of goitre. an old, old malady,
and all her collars button up close
under her ear tips. Worth makes all her
gowns, and the only direction he ever re-
ceives is ''high- necked." Her suit at the
Grand Union includes dozen of the
choicest rooms on the first floor, imme-
diately over the office. fronting on Broad
way, and commanding either end of the
the piazza on that thoroughfare. The
mistress is zealot on the subject of mir
room. In her chamber there is mirror
over the dressing case. one over the toilet
table, a long glass between the windows,
a standing bonnet glass set in revolving
silver frame, and full-length bevelled
panel in her neglige wardrobe, beside the
hand glasses and mouth mirrors of all size
and shape in her toilet case.
AT III A. M. and T. Nj. her victoria is
in waiting, and she drives ian hour or so,
unless the weather is threatening. Mrs.
Wetherell accompanies her. She has no
pets, no lap robes, and no valet Her hats
are usually white, her gowns net or India
silk, her parasols white lace, and her face
we'll yelled with dotted lace or gauze. She
is frequently seen on the garden piazza at
the morning concert, but rather shuns
society. At the Hilton lawn party yester-
day Mrs. Stewart wore a mauve satin re-
ception toilet covered with princess robe
of cobweb black lace. The pattern was a
bell flower, and in the cup of each blossom
was small tassel of black jet Stimulating
the stamens and fairly bewildering the
eyes with their lustre. At her throat was
row Of big white diamonds set in a lace
pin, and her lace corsage ornament was a
Greek cross four inches long, invisibly set
in sockets of gold that were as far apart as
the diameter of the stones. There is no
telling what the jewel was worth, but it
was the finest ornament / ever saw. She
wore several bracelets SET with diamonds,
but the most magnificent was circle of
rose cut brilliants from which were bangles
of garnet, ruby, sapphire, turquoise, and
emeralds, each single stone the size of a
gooseberry, surrounded with small bril-
liants. Her bonnet was made of white
thread lace; tied with lace strings, and
she wore black gloves Chicago Inter-
