Neatness indispensable.

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various ways,
but if she is not personally neat she can
not hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern. A
young woman with her hair always in
disorder, and her clothes hanging about
her as if suspended from a prop, is al
ways repulsive. "Slatternn is written
on her person from the crown of her
head to the soles of her feet, and if she
wins husband he will in all probability
turn out an idle fool or drunken ruff
fan. The bringing up of daughters to
be able to work, act and talk like honest,
sensible young women, is the especial
task of all mothers, and in the indus
trial ranks there is imposed also the
prime obligation of learning how to re-
spect household work for its own sake,
and the comfort and happiness it will
bring in the future. House-work is a
drudgery, but it must be done by some
body, and had better be well than i'll
done.-Erchange.

A FORCIBlE DECISION.
Judge Peterson's Opinion on the Average
Bill Collector.

Judge Peterson's Opinion on the Average
Bill Collector. .
A powerful decision was recently rem
dered against bill collectors by a Nashville
Judge The Judge, 1t seems, is in the habit
of taking an appeal when bill is presented
to him. This annoyed the collectors. One
bold young fellow was determined to face
the jurist in his den and argue from tabu
lated evidence, showing that the Judge was
much in debt to wholesale liquor house
The unhinching young man walked into the
court room, took position in front OF the
Judges desk and said:
''This is Judge Peterson believe"
Eyes the Judge answered, as he sus
piciously eyed the young man.
The collector handed the Judge bill.
The Judge looked at it, recognized 1t as an
old acquaintance. handed it back TO the
young man and said: -...-.
"Tell them that I'll come by and settle. y
They've heard that several times al.
ready" the collector replied. Now
want to know whether to come back here
or not" .44.
mo, you needn't"
"Well, then. I'll stay until you render
your decision"
The Judge flew out over the desk, like
a piece OF whalebone, and knocked the
young man down-knocked all his teeth
into the southeast corner of his mouth. II
is likely that the young man may appeal
from the decision, but it should teach a les
son to bill collectors. Why, hang it, when
a man says that he will be around the frs
of the month why don't they thank hin
politely and retire?-ArkdnsdU Ira peler

A HANDY BOOK.
A Chinese Book or Reference Consisting Of
22,931 Volumes.

About the year A. d. 61S the Tang
dynasty was established, and the land
had rest from its long internal wars.
Under the peaceful sway of this im-
perial house a library of $4,000 books
was collected, and rightly to appreciate
this statement it is necessary to remem-
Der that though the art of making paper
from the inner bark of trees, fishing
nets and old rags had been discovered
by the Marquis Ts'ai about hundred
years before the Christian era, that of
printing was not known, or at least not
generally adopted, till about the year
A. d. 1000, under the patronage of
the Emperors of the Sung dynasty.
From that time to the present each sue
cessive dynasty has done its part to en-
courage literature-none more heartily
than the Tartar race who now reign.
The Emperor Yunglo, of the Ming
dynasty, who assembled the throne A. d.
1403, resolved to have a vast encyclope-
dia compiled which would embrace all
desirable knowledge. For this purpose
he appointed no less than 1000 Com
missioners, who, after toilng for years,
presented the Emperor with nice
handy book of reference in 22,917 vol
umes. However valuable this book
might have proved, it was decided that
it was rather too volumnous for the
printers, so the fruit of so
much toll was stored in manu-
script in the Imperial Palace at
Pekin, where its remains are still treas
ured The idea thus suggested was car
ried out three hundred years later by the
Manchoo Emperor, K'ang-hi, who COM
missioned the wise men of the Empire
to illustrate upward of six thousand sub
jects, by collecting all illusions to them
which might be scattered among exist
ing books. This encyclopedia of ex-
tracts was published in A. ID. 1926, and
consists of upward of five thousand vol
umes containing the cream of Chinese
literature. A complete copy of this very
comprehensive and valuable work
has recently been secured for the
British Museum, whose own amaz
ing catalogue scarcely eclIpses that
of the Imperial Library pub
lished at the close of the eighteenth cen
fury, and enumerating upward of 49,.
600 volumes on all branches, of literature
without including works of fiction, dra
mas, or any books relating to the Taou
list or Buddhist religions. 1t is, however
necessary to add that the majority OF
these books are little more than mere
commentaries, by intellectual pigmies Of
modern days, on the writings of mer
possessed of far wider range of thought
and freer imagination than these theil
cramped descendants +. Gordon

COLTS IN WINTER.
How They Should BE Fed, Cared For and
Trained.

How They Should BE Fed, Cared For and
Trained.
1t is necessary in order to have a colt
grow into a well-developed horse that
special pains should be taken to have
him kept thriving during his first winter.
If foaled late in the season, he should
have an extra ration in case the mares
milk is not sufficient to keep him in
good flesh. SKINNED milk will answer
for this, and a little oatmeal or cotton
seed meal should be mixed with it, the
amount to be given depending on the
age and size of the colt. From a pint
to a quart of meal will be sufficient for a
colt six months old, according to his
size, colts of the heavy draft breeds
requiring more than those OF
smaller frame. Oats, too, may
be provided for colts, from one
to four quarts per day, the
amount depending, as in the case of the
meal, on the size and development of
,the colt. One or two quarts of bran
per day will be found good additional
ration, which will maintain a healthy
condition of the bowels, and keep them
free from worms. The colt should have
clean, comfortable quarters, with dry
yard in which to exercise, and. when il
can be so arranged, the stable should
open into the yard, so the colt may pass
out and in at will, except in stormy OF
very cold weather, when the door should
be kept closed. During the winter is a
favorable time to handle the colt, teach
ing him to lead quietly, if he has not al
ready learned this, and by occasionally
placing harness on him, accustom him
to wearing it.-National Lire Stock

The LAST SLAVE.
A Negro the Master of the Last African
Held in Southern Bondage.

A Negro the Master of the Last African
Held in Southern Bondage.
The last slave held in state of bond
age in the South was owned by a negro.
1t was not usual for negroes to hold
slaves, but it was the case in some in
stances, and it is said by those who had
an opportunity to know that the negro
was hard task-master, and more
cruel and exacting owner than his
brother in white.
There lived in Thomas County one
Collin Aston, who for years before the
war came on had been his own master.
He was thrifty fellow, and as soon as
he became possessed of sufficient sum
of money he bought Milly Reynolds, a
negro woman. He did not own land on
which to work the woman, and so he
hired her out. 1t seems that the woman
was something of physician, after the
peculiar methods of her race, and thus
her owner turned her skill in this re-
spect to his own profit, and her pills and
her root teas came to be well known
among her colored neighbors, and it
may have been among the whites as
well, for the belief in quack remedies
and quack doctors is one of the strong
est instincts of human nature.
After awhile the war came on; the
strife grew more bitter, and the tide
of success wavered between the two Sec
tons, but with every returning wave
the limits of the Confederacy grew more
circumscribed, and then came the end.
During all these bloody years the wom-
an physician piled her calling for the
benefit of her colcred owner, and
even after the end had come, and the
rest of her race were realizing the mixed
joys and sorrows of freedom, she con-
tinued the unwilling slave of her sable
master. OF course she had heard of the
close of the war, and of freedom, but
such was the influence held over her by
Aston, her owner, that she dared not
assert her rights. Among the fast
nesses and jungles that skirt lovely Mic
cosukie her master held her in bond
age, and now that the negroes had
become their own masters, and had
money of their own, her calling brought
additional wealth to Collin Aston.
Nearly year thus passed, and, al
though Milly Reynolds had often spoken
of the boon withheld from her. she could
not induce herself to break the chains
that bound her. At last, however, with
the aid and by the advice of lady, who
is now living in this city, and who gave
us the history of this wonderful episode
connected with slavery, she ran away
from her master, and as he had no au-
thority to reclaim her she became at
last free. Both of the parties have long
since died, and very few of those who
knew of the incident still remain on
earth. 7homascitle (Ga.) Register.
