An American State Government Which
Flourished a Century Ago.
It is not a generally-known his
torical fact that from 1774 to 1884 ter
ritory now known as Tennessee formed
part of North Carolina, and that in
1885 the Tennesseeans, becoming dis
satisfied with their government, or
ganized State Government under the
name of Franklin" which was main
tanned for some years. The State or
ganized afterward disbanded, and Ter
ritorial Tennessee was again annexed
to North Carolina. The following is
among the laws passed by the Legis-
lature of the State of Franklin. We
copy it as found in speech by Daniel
Webster on the currency of 1888:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the
State of Franklin, and it is hereby enacted by
the authority of the same, That from the 1st
day of January, 1889. the salaries of the officers
of this Commonwealth be as follows:
His Excelency, the Governor, per annum,
1000 deer skins.
His Honor, the Chief Justice, per annum, 500
deer skins.
The Secretary to His Excelency, the Gov
ernor, per annum. 500 raccoon skins.
The treasurer to the State, $50 raccoon skins.
Each county clerk. 30l beaver skins.
Clerk of House of Commons, 200 raccoon
skins.
Members OF the Assembly, per diem, three
raccoon skins.
Justices fees for signing a warrant, one
muskrat skin.
To the constable for serving a warrant one
mink skin.
Enacted into the law the 18th day OF October,
1883, under the great seal of the State.

An Artificial Silk-Worm.

eft is by no means impossible" said
a Paterson silk manufactures, '.that
artificial silk may sometime replace
the product of the silk-worms' labor.
That, of course, is only possibility,
and not probability, but it is very
probable that artificial methods will
replace the tedious and expensive
means now employed to utilize the
worms. 1t has for some time been
known that worn-out silken fabrics can
be utilized by putting them in a chem
ical bath which separates foreign SUBJ
stances from the silk itself, and saves
the latter in solution. This solution
can be respun or used to plate other
thread. Now, as / learn from France,
DIR. Chardonne, of that country, has
succeeded in making purely artificial
silk. He makes solution of nitro
cellulose, alcohol, ether, ferrous chlo-
ride and tannic acid, in nicely-calculat-
ed proportions, and runs it from a res
ervoir through an exceedingly minute
hole into a bath of water, calculated
with one-half of one per cent. Of
mono-hydrated nitric acid. The fluid
hardens in the water, and is dried in
hot air. I is said that the thread can
be readily dried, but do not know
what other valuable qualities it has. !"

Once thoroughly understood this
work is as easily accomplished as any
simple washing. After taking the cur
tains down shake out the dust careful
ly, so as to avoid tearing the material;
then spread them out on two lines near
together, and brush them gently with
a soft feather duster; this will remove
all the dust that can be got off. Now
have ready tub half full of tepid
water, to which two tablespoonful of
liquid ammonia has been added (this
comes put up III bottles ready for use,
and is called, think. household am

water and allow them to remain some
fifteen or twenty minutes, turning them
over carefully every minute or two
and squeezing with the hands. This
process will loosen all the dirt, after
which squeeze out as dry as possible,
but be very, very careful lest the
meshes of tho lace be broken. Have
ready another tub containing water
prepared as before, and place the cur

allowing them to soak until all are
washed. It will need three waters if
the curtains are much soiled, but the
water will decide this; should it be very
much discolored, use different waters
until the last from which they were
taken looks clear. Ammonia in the
first two waters will be sufficient UNI
less the curtains are very gray and
smoky. Next, place them in a coarse

the water be only blood warm when
they are first put in; allow them to

thoroughly in two clear waters, the

New Household Motto.

She was girl who had been en-
gagged two or three times. She had
gone through all the trouble attendant
on being interrupted by her little
brother and sister and the old folks
during the tete-a-tetes. For a long
time she had been at work on piece
of embroidery of such sacred and
secret nature that she locked it up
from all eyes, and only worked on it
when she was quite alone. Frequent
ly they had tried to find out, but what
it was they could not discover. One
evening when the girl and her beau
were in the parlor, the mother, step
ping softly along the passage toward
the door, was brought to a standstill
by an elegantly embroidered motto
hanging on the wall. It read: Cough
Here Shoe and Leather ReUieso.

bluing may settle on the curtains.
After scalding, take the curtains from
the boiler ana rinse thoroughly, but
with gentle hand, until all suds are
out Then wiring or squeeze out and
put through the bluing water; wiring
out from that and prepare to stretch
and pin out smoothly. to the original
length and width. This must be done
while the curtains are wet. as the lace
can not be stretched when dry. The
whole process of washing, rinsing,
scalding and drying should be done as
quickly and thoroughly as possible, as
no other cotton material shrinks so
easily.
Although many pin clean sheet on
to carpet and pin the curtain on to
the sheet while drying. consider it
much better and easier way to keep on
hand four strips OF thin boards about
three inches wide, made similar to
quilting frames, with holes at suitable
distances to increase or diminish the
length and breadth to suit the size of
the curtains. Have strong wooden
pins put through the holes to fasten the
frames strongly together; tack wide
tape or sewage edges of cloth the
whole length of the frame, then place
them on chairs, so that they will stand
firm and steady, out of doors on still,
bright, SUNNY day, and pin or haste the
curtains to the tape, pulling out and
fastening every point in the lace.
Before wetting the curtains measure
the length and breadth and mark it on
the frame on which they are to be
dried. After washing, fasten at both
ends first and then stretch to match
the measure. Curtains thus stretched
dry very quickly in the sun, and if well
rinsed and free from soap several can
be dried at the same time. Instead of
lacking on the strips of cloth or tape,
if small-sized galvanized hooks were
used the work could be greatly facili-
tated, and the curtains be caught on to
these hooks while drying. Curtains
washed in the manner described look
much better than when done at the
laundry, and last great deal longer,
which is quite an object to be consid-
cred. Transcript.

EFFECT OF POLITICS.
Presidential Campaigns Successful Ma
tional Educators.

Presidential Campaigns Successful Ma
tional Educators.
A political campaign serves as a
great National university, where all
the citizens are pupils. It is power
full educating influence, and of itself
serves to make the citizens of re-
public more intelligent than the sub
jects of an absolute or monarchical
government.
A sense of responsibility is perhaps
the most powerful educating influence
that can be brought to bear upon a
human being. The responsibility OF
the suffrage has done as much for the
enlightenment of the American people
as any other element of our civiliza-
ton. To certain extent it devolves
the policy of the Government upon the
individual citizen, and, in a small way,
to be sure, makes every artisan and me-
chanic statesman. So the RESPONSE
bility of casting ballot involves a
knowledge of political science, the fun
damental principles of economic policy,
and knowledge of the financial, in
dustrial, and commercial condition OF
the country. The consideration OF
these subjects, their promiscuous dis
cussion, and the controversies and ar
guments they arouse give to every one
participating in them general intelli-
gence.
A man can not take an interest in our
political campaigns and remain long
an ignorant man. A voter that con-
siders the result of his ballot, and the
bearing it may have on our National
legislation and the moulding of our
Governmental policy, must be an intel
ligent man. There should be no such
thing as an ignorant voter Yankee

HEAVEN HATH PEACE.

xoo ask me, dear. to sing tender iay-
an winch shall come no sorrow and no pain:
You wish to have the glad sun shine all day;
foo IKE not sullen clouds, nor falling rain.
You long TO hear the blithesome, happy birds
singing their rounde1ays from dawn to night,
You wish to hear no harsh. no cruel words;
You only seek for what is pure and ght
What Joy to see the crimson blossoms swell.
And not one wither. all the summers through
What happiness 'twould be for me to tell
Earth's sweetest story meath the stars to
lain would grant thy wish, dear love OF mine,
And tune my rustic Tyre to suit the strain
Itouch the strings. Ny touch is not divine
ana through the melody q sob of pain
Lingers like twilight, at the set OF sun;
And while pray, the cold winds hurry BY
All the sweet singing Of the birds is done,
And sha lows fit across the darkening sky.
So into every life there cometh pain,
Else earth would be too sweet for mortals
given:
And near to every heart, hath sorrow lain;
lis sorrow purifeth souls for Heaven.
As through glass each one doth darlkly see
We strive in vain to read the changeful
skies
AT last the vail is drawn. Eternity
Unfolds its mysteries to our Weakening eyes.
In Heaven shall be no sorrow and no pain;
Its own glad song shall each heart sing al
ways:
Affections purest joys supreme shall reign,
And flowers immortal bloom, in endless day.
And kindred souls unfettered, shall, confessed,
In hallowe6 recognition meet and blend,
And weary hearts shall find a balm and rest
In sweet repose and peaceful, without end.
All, who can sing a sweeter song than thisf

Than promise of supreme and halIowed bliss
In that fair land, to which earth's travellers

1t is the habitual thought that
frames itself into our life. 1t affects
us even more than our intimate, social
relations do. Our confidential friends

Many man seems reader to work
almost anywhere else than in his own
sphere. His proper and legitimate
work he counts as drudgery, while
there is certain fascination to him in
work which is not his appointed task.
Yet, as practical matter, the man
who will not do his own work is not
worth much in the doing OF any body
else's work.
Some of the simplest things In life
are the hardest to learn. Any man
who knows how to think, realizes the

equivalent.
Life consists not of series of illus

the greater part of our time passes in
