The Girl Who Works.

The girl who works-God bless her!
She is brave and active. She is not
too proud to earn her own living OF
ashamed to be caught at her daily
task. She is studious and panstakins
and patient She smiles at you from
behind counter or desk. There is a
memory of her own sown into each
siiken gown. She is like u beautiful
mountaincer already far up the hill.
and the sight of her should be a fine
inspiration for us all. 1t is an honor
to knew this girl-to be worthy of her
regard. Her hand may be stained by
factory grease or printers ink, but it
is an honest hand and a helping hand.
1t stays misfortune from many homes;
it is one shield that protects many Il
forlorn little family from the aims

The Best Poultry Yard.

The best poultryyard is II plantation
The fowls love the shelter and scenery
OF a spreading spruce or pine, and wal
low in the dry soil under the branches
with evident enjoyment A turkey is
forest bird, and although somewhat
unmanageable by reason Of her wild
nature, illreadily take to nest made
for her in more suitable place than
she herself may choose if the nest is
made of dry leaves under the shelter Of
brush pile in grove. A grove Of
plum and cherry trees. with few ever
greens intersperscd, will make the best
poultry yard. for there will be fall
crops of fruit and the curculio will be
banished. A row of cherry trees on
one side of the writer's lawn, nestled
among double row of Norway
spruces on the north side. have never
yet been touched by curculio, while
the shelter Of the spruces seem to give
an idea Of concealed enemies to the
greedy sparrows and the cat birds,
which strip the trees in open ground
where an undisturbed view may be
had of approaching foes. Fruit and
eggs become complementary to each
other; the fowls protect the fruit and
the shade pleases and encourages tho
hens to make nests. ~ Y. Times.

Another Musical Prodigy.

A small and pretty boy, who is re-
markable in two directions, is Philip
Spooner. the third son and youngest
child Of Senator Spooner. His talent
for music il almost that Of genius.
Though he does not know one note
from another, he will carry the music
Of an opera, after hearing the perform-
ance. right along with his mothers
accompaniment on the piano. His
voice is like = girl's. and sweet and
clear as the notes of = bird The boy
is never so happy as when permitted to
60 to an operate performance, and his
criticisms are. SO unerring as to be
startling in the advanced ideas ex-
pressed by child. He cares nothing
for the theater. but Graves music. and,
il deprived of it. he would be very
unhappy child. He never touches the
piano himself and is not inclined to
instrumental music. though his two
brothers raise the roof with banjo
playing. But he will sit by his mother
for an hour or two, and pour out his
beautiful voice in high. pure notes.
and with perfect time to the piano.

Zeb vance's Great Argument.

Senator Wade Hampton tells this
story about Senator "Zeb" Vance's
first case in the North Carolina
Supreme Court, and he took great
pains with it. When the court came
to render decision the Chief Justice
quoted Vance's argument in full. As
he was proceeding Vance looked
proudly around on the other lawyers
and chcerfully rubbed his hands. To
his mind that was the greatest argu.
ment ever presented to n court. The
court read Vancc's argument through,
and then said: For these reasons We
affirm the decision of the court below"
Vance was dumbfounded. His owS
argument was used rs basis of a dc.
cision against his client J. Trio.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The value Of any kind Of farm
stock is very largely determined by it
feeding the first year of its life. Breed
ing counts for much, though every
successful breeder knows how greatly
the character of young animal is
changed by innutritious or improper
food.
Every person who lights lamp or
has another do it. should look about
the room and impress the mind with
what blanket, rug, shawl, or spread,
made of wool, could be quickly caught
up and used to stihe and extnguish the
flame. Half the danger of any acci-
dent is cured when one knows at once
what to do.
Strawberry Pie.-Pick over and
cap the berries, arrange in layers in
shell of pastry, and sprinkle with
good coating Of sugar. Fill the shell
very full, as strawberries shrink very
much in cooking. Cover with erus!
and bake. Other berry pies can be
made in the same way, using sugar ac-
cording to the sweetness of the berry.
-Parsleyed Potatoes. Peel, quarter
and wash as many potatoes as required.
boil quickly in salted water until just
tender, strain at once, and lei them
steam for few seconds over the fire;
add liberal piece of butter and let it
melt over the potatoes. Then strew
over them some finely chopped parsley,
cover, and taking the handle with one
hand and holding the lid down with
the other. shake the saucepan so that
the potatoes turn over few times,
then dish at once. This is an excellent
way of preparing old potatoes.
The proper way to test seed corn
is to count out a certain number of
grains, say fifty, and plant them in a
little trench of uniform depth. One
lot should be covere,fhalf an inch, an
other an inch, and third an inch and
half At the end of a week, if the
weather is not unusually cold and wet,
the covering should be removed from
a part of each row. If nine grains out
Of ten have sproutcd the seed may be
pronounced good. If at the end of two
weeks there are nine sprouts above
ground for every ten planted the seed
may be regarded as excellent.

WATER FOR PIGS.
How to Prevent Cholera and Other Infect.
i0us or Contagious DiseaSeS.

ious DlSea>es.
Investigations of the swine plague
show that. of all farm animals. swine
more than any other should have pure
water from we'll. The microbe pro.
ducng the dread disease of swine
plague may be carried in n stream OF
water: hence it is unwise to allow hogs
to drink from stream. though fed by
springs, if hogs are kept under bad
conditions anywhere above on the
stream. The microbe may lie in moist
matter for months without having its
vitality impaired. hence it is folly to
allow hogs to drink from a stream when
disease has prevailed within some
months among hogs anywhere on the
land from which water enters the
stream above. The danger is so great,
and may SO suddenly or unawares make
its appearance. that it Is never wise to
allow hogs to drink from a stream. The
danger from stagnant water is as great.
While the microbes can find their way
into it from only limited territory.
such water always contains organic
matter, making conditions favorable
to the life Of the microbes. and they
may exist in it, with evil power unim-
paired. for weeks or months. Aside
from this, stagnant water is unfit to be
drunk; pools, ponds, etc. are far
oftener an injury than benefit.
Nor does every well yield pure water,
free from contamination. If the sur
face water is allowed to enter it, there
is as good chance of its being tainted
as there is of a pool being tainted. Nor
will the passage Of the water through
a few feet of loose soil filter out the
disease germs. "Seep' wells are often
the unsupported cause of disease; there
are many cases Of their being proven
the sources of typhoid fever. etc. The
well. to be safe. must be fed by an I'M
derground stream. and it is all the bet
ter if it be at least twenty feet below
the surface. The soil should be taken
away from around the well for several
feet back, and replaced with clay
stamped solid. And if the mouth of
the well be lower than any of the sur
rounding ground. make 4 bank of clay
around it SO high that no surface water
can get in. Have tight curb to en-
clude mice. etc; but not one that will
not allow the air freely to enter the well.
Such Il well will yield safe drink for
swine, and for other farm animals as
well. The very rapid advance of med
ical research has shown that the conta-
gious or infectious diseases, terrible in
their nature, once blamed on evil spir-
its. are caused by minute organisms
lurking in moist. foul ground, or de-
caying matters; in our food or drink,
most often in the latter The best pro-
vision for the health of ourselves and |
is water free from contamina-

"Physiognomy is rather a vagary of the
imagination than a science" said o promi-
nent student of human nature the other
day, and, therefore," he continued, II
deny that the expression of o mans face
is really an index Of the persons soul, as
1t is generally conceded to be, and as the
object Of language is said to be the con
cealment of thought, SO the expression of
ones countenance is but the mask TO con-
ceal ones inner self.
There is a tradition that far back In
the days of which history tells us nothing
there was no speech Of ,amon9
men, but that men read 9aa6 others
wan and wishes in their faces, andsas
the world was pure, nothing but. putty
appeared in the expression Of the human
face. But wickedness crept in and men
sought to keep from their faces the evil
that was in their hearts, thus preventing
the countenance from becoming the index
Of the soul."-New York Mall and Elk

Fighting on the Plains.

Crossing the plains Rowland was with
the amous Hunt train, which was at
tackled by thousands of Indians. Hunt,
then United States marshal and later
governor of Colorado, was conveying pris-
oners to jail in Michigan. At his request
Rowland organized the train, and for nine
different days they fought Indians. Am
munitiOn was about gone, and the last
night they loaded their only cannon with
trace chains to be ready for the early
morning attack the Indians were sure to
make. He dampened gunny sacks to load
the cannon. The next morning 1t was 20
dogs. below zero, and at daylight Indians
attacked the train. 1t occurred to How
land that the sacks would be frozen and
the cannon would burst. For the moment
he stepped back and hesitated. On came
the Indians, and terrified women and
children were budding up close to the
wagons. When l saw those terror
stricken women and children" said How
land, II could hesitate no longer, but l
never was placed in a position where it
took more nerve than to fire that old can
non 1t went off all right. though" The
Indians carried away their dead, but half
a dozen dead and dying horses were found.
That was the last attack Of the Indians on
that wagon train.-Denver Cor. Kansas

UNSATISFACTORY VERDICT.
1t is safe to say that the verdict of
acquittal rendered by the Jury in the Pat
terson case last night provoked universal
surprise. A great majority Of the people
who listened attentively day by day to the
evidence as it was unfolded in the court
room looked with confidence to a verdict
of murder in the second degree. 1t was
rare to find among the spectators a man
who did not express himself so convinced
in his own mind that Patterson mad com.
mitted a murder, and while many felt and
expressed a hesitancy to convict him of
murder in the first degree, owing to the
circumstantial character OF the evidence,
they almost invariably agreed that the
man should not escape punishment en-
tirely.
The most accurate information that
could be ascertained last night was to the
effect that the jury originally stood five
for conviction of murder in the first de-
gree and seven for acquittal. The i'm
preston seemed to prevail, however, that
under the instructions of the court
they were forced to grasp either one or
the other horn of the dilemma and con
vict of the capital offense or acquit abso-
lutely. 1t was from this standpoint that
they ultimately reached the latter con-
]clusion.
II is only a proper reflection of public
opinion to say that acquittal is a keen
disappointment, After all the labor and
expense of this trial, with a well grounded
public conviction that Patterson's hands
were imbued with the blood of a fellow
man. this community cannot commend
the good judgment OF the jury in reaching
such a lame and impotent conclusion.
1t might be advisable for Patterson to
give this section OF the country n wide
berth in his future travels, for notwith-
standing the verdict of acquittal the PEG.
pie are well satisfied that he has not yet
received the deserts which he so richly
deserves.

Modern surgery, aided by antiseptics,
enabled surgeons to accomplish re-
suits which, twenty-five years ago, would
have been deemed impossible. This is in
no department more marked than in the
abdominal surgery. While formerly a
wound of the abdomen, either from a
gunshot or a stab, was considered almost
necessarily fatal, at the present day many
lives are saved by an operation, which
consists in opening the abdomen, tying
every blood vessel that may have been
lacerated, and sewing up any wound
which may have been made in the in
testines. Science.
