during the presidential campaign of Scott
I and Graham, about thirty-two or thirty
/ three years ago. One side of the badge
bears the picture of Mr.. Scott, and these
words Gen. Winfield Scott. First in
! war, first in peace The opposite side
bears the eagle and the words "Scott and
] Graham. Union and Constitution" This
/ rehc was plowed up ON a farm
near Eastman, and bears signs Of having
been under the sod many years.
H. s. Tolbert of Canton exhibited last
week a limb taken from a red haw bush
growing in his yard which had fruit on it
very much resembling the pear. The fruit
was some larger than the haw, and was
shaped AMI looked like the pear, eXcept it
had rough exterior, Part of the fruit Gu
the tree, he says, is the ordinary hsw while
goodly portion seems 10 be a mixture Of
the haw and pear. The only way Mr.. Toll
bert can account for the seeming mixture
of the two fruits is that the pear and haw
| trees grow very close together and the
branches of each ore mingled with the
other. He is anxiouSly waiting for the fruit
to ripen TO see what it really is.
D. c. Dunlap, prominent citizen living
near Rocky Mount, Meriwether county,
came near shuifiing off this mortal coil a
few days ago. Mr. Dunlap was troubled
with pain over the eye, for which his
at once laid in a generous supply Of that
drug, or at least what he thought was it.
One night after retiring the pain struck
hin, and be went for his quinine immedi-
ately. Determined not 10 be troubled again
during the night, he took double dose OF
the supposed quinine. In few minutes he
began to show symptoms of having taken
poison. physician was summoned imme-
diately. who soon by the aid of three emetics
brought the patient around again. Taking
the double dose saved him. Mr.. Dunlap
thinks it was strychnine. He says that a
dose was given a cat and it died in a few
minutes.
The following letter will be read by the
survivors of the Twelfth Georgia regiment
and their admirers. he original is now in
the hands of Hon. Albert A. Carson of Butler
1t was found among tine papers OF Maj. j.
I. Carson, father Of Ahart Carson, who
was in command of the Twelfth Georgia at
the time OF the reception of the letter. Maj,
Carson was mortally wounded at the battle
Of Winchester, Va, on Sept. 10, 1864, and
died on Sept. 80. The letter was brought back
from the front with other personal effects
by a faithful old servant named Pete:
Headquarters, April IS, 1864 -Collne

sion of my gratitude beg leave 10 add that

when all the cream is raised through
eighteen or twenty inches of milk in
twelve hours; while at sixty degrees it
will require thirty hours to rise COM
pletely through three inches of milk
set in shallow pans. Also when the
milk is diluted with water, the cream
rises more quickly, because the milk
becomes less adherent. The low tenn
perature of forty-fve degrees reduces
the milk to almost its maximum den
sity, which is at thirty-nine degrees;
hence the cream is comparatively
lighter than at a higher temperature.
This fact is taken advantage of in the
use of the deep pals and low tempera-
ture for setting milk for cream; an
innovation which has been Of the
greatest value in butter making. The
cream raised in this manner is, how
ever more fluid, and has more milk
mixed with it than that raised in shall
low pans; but this is also an advantage,
because it is then in the best condition
in respect of fuidity of the churn.-

DO NOT FRET.

Any n who expects to get through
life without a certain share of bothera-
ton, is under a very serious mistake.
1t is in the nature of human affairs for
petty ~vexations to arise, one a hard
ly tell how or wherefore and he is a
wise man who being aware of this
fact, does not allow himself to fret or
fume over annoyance that everybody
has to encounter, and which cannot be
helped.
Fretting does not pay. To the con-
trary, it is Away practiced at a loss Of
time, strength and temper, ending in
a great loss of happiness. Fretters
are much more apt to indulge in their
silly habit Of pessimism concerning
small matters than greater ones, and
imaginary troubles are quite as likely
to be the subject of their disquietude
as real mes. And, if they have moth
ing real to worry over, they will con-
jure up something with which to make
themselves miserable.
Nothing is to be gained by fretting.
You simply make yourself miaerable
by so doing, more over, you are almost
certain to make your family and
friends uncomfortable.
Remember this, We fretters, and fret
no more.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN

And then, remember, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick or
pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books,
digging bitches Or editing a paper,
ringing an auction bell or writing
funny things, you must work. If you
look around you, you will see that the
men who are most able to live the
rest of their days without work are
men that work the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with work. 1t is beyond your power
to do that. Men cannot work so hard
as that on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but it's because
they quit work at 6 p. m. and don't
go home until 2 a. NJ. It's the inter
val that kills. Work gives an appe-
tite for meals ; it lends solidity to
your slumbers it gives the apprecia-
ton of holiday.
There are young men that do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not even know their
namas it simply speaks Of them as
old So-and-So's boys. Nobody likes
them, nobody hates them the great,
busy world doesn't even know that
they are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, take off your coat
and make a dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry you
will be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the better
satisfied will the world be with you

RIGHT WAY TO WASH DISHES.

[ can tell Johnny that all hired girls
don't wash dishes as he thinks they
do. When I keep one, this is the way
she goes at it: First, brush up the
crumbs from the floor then put the
victuals away. Get your dish pan,
rinse out the cups and saucers and
place them in the pan with the spoons
and plates don't put in the knives
and forks. Have plenty Of hot soft
water ready. Use enough hard soap
to keep water from getting greasy.
When you come to the kettles and tin
ware, wash them clean, rinse with hot
water and put by the stove to dry.
Last, wash knives and forks, scour,
put in with the dishes in another pan,
pour hot water v all and dry with
a clean linen dish towel. This is the
way [ wash dishes twice a day. We
don't eat greasy victuals for supper
and [ put all the dishes in the pan
pour hot water over them.
[ do the work for six. We keep a
hired man and I have three dear little
children, a boy six years old and a
pair of twins IA boy and a girD three
years old. [ have a large house to
clean and dust once a week. The old
est boy helps me a great deal and
ave me lots Of steps. [ don't find
much time for fancy work, but that
doesn't bother me.-Browm Hands,
IN Farm and Home.

CHARACTER OF CREAM.

Cream is the fatty portion of the
milk which rises to the top when the
milk stands at rest. The difference in
the specific gravity of cream and milk
necessarily causes this separation; in
deed to some extent this separation is
partially made in the reservoirs of the
udder, for it is a we'll established fact,
that the first drawn milk is less rich in
cream, or fat, than that drawn at the
end of the milking.
The cream rises more rapidly under
certain circumstances, and when the
milk is set in deeppails, in cold water,
at a temperature of forty.fve degrees,

THE NUMBER SEVEN IN THE
BIBLE.

Among the Hebrews the word for
solemn swearing is "septenare," or
protest by seven. Abraham, you will
remember, appointed even eve lambs
as his testimony to the covenant with
Abimelech. The creator rested from
His work on the seventh day, and this
day was called Sabbath o seventh. A
leprous person was either to battle
seven times or be sprinkled seven
times with the blood Of a sparrow.
Seven years vas the period for repen-
lance. Every seven years the Hebrew
servant demanded liberty for himself.
And the prophet praised God seven
times a day. Cain, we are told, was
to be revenged sevenfold.
The gifts of the Holy Ghost were
said to be seven in number, and in the
presence of the Almighty seven an
gels stand, as we are told, in Tobias.
Seven lamps burn before God, and
throughout the whole book of Revela-
lions the number seven is constantly
used. Jacob served seven years for
Leah, and seven more for Rachael.
Then there are the seven ears of corn
and the seven kline. 1t was seven peo-
pie that possessed the land of Promise
in Deuteronomy, and the story of
Samson tells how he kept his nutptials
sever days, and then was bound with
sever green withes.

A BRIDE, TO HER HUSBAND.

l am leaving my home for you, darling,
Leaving love that is perfect and true;
For a home and q love that are all untried.-
Shall my life be as happy with you?
1t is no light thing for a maiden
To give to a stranger her heart;
How often he proves all unfaithful,
Though the VOW is, till death do us part"
"With this ring I thee We'd you have spoken,
And you with my goods endow;
Forever, through good and through evil,
promise to love you as now"
Shall it be SO ? Shall age find you faithful,
Ever true to the pledge you have given
Or, shall the love tie prove so CALLING,
That, alas, ere long must be riven?
You think 1 should trust you ? Oh, dearest,
Am l not trusting you with my life,
To come to you freely and gladly,
To stand at the altar your wife.
Did l not have all faith in your honor,
Nor thought you as true as the sun,
No home would we make with each other,
No journey for life be begun.
Mans love, dear, is not like a woman's,
IT'S a thing quite apart from his life;
While it's all, tits the very existence,
OF the faithful, true hearted wife.
Then love me; tits all that l ask for;
Keep the promise this day you have given;
While l. if l fail in my PROMISE
hope l may never reach heaven!

81 CAN'T"

A curious statistician estimates that
about one-half the children born into
the world are furnished by nature with
a remarkable lingual faculty for the
the utterance of this brief and COW
ardly sentence. He says: "Neither
age nor experience enable them to
abolish from their vocabulary these
fatal words, and from the cradle to
the grave they drag a slipshod life,
spent, in accomplishing nothing, from
the fact that they lack the energy and
will necessary to accomplish"

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

Adding a bit of salt improves the flavor
of any pie.
Never allow stale flowers to remain in
a sick room.
When the griddle persistently smokes,
fresh lard will often act as a remedy.
Fish may be scaled easier by first dip
ping them into boiling water for a
minute.
By the addition Of vegetables, soup is
rendered more healthy and nutritious for
hearty persons.
A pint of mustard seed added to a bar
rel of cider will keep the liquid sweet for
an definite time.
Boiling starch is much improved by the
addition of sperm or salt, or both, or a lit
tie gum arabic dissolved.
Place a handful of pebbles or small
rocks in the bottom Of your frall vases
and they will not be easily upset.
If you have a sore throat, make a mop
Of a soft linen rag tied to a stick and use
turpentine. 1t is not a pleasant remedy
but is a good one.
Provide a good sponge and crash Jewels
for rubbing in the bathroom, also a little
corn meal in a dish, as many prefer meal
to soap when washing the hands.
Keep the piano or orgon closed when
not in use. Not only dust, but moisture
has an ~unfavorable effect on them, and
should always be carefully guarded
against.
For membranOuS Group or an attack OF
asthma. take a little tar and turpentine,
place it in a cup on top of the stove, or
some live Goals. A dense smOak will be
emitted which will bring relief to the
sufferer.
Sunlight is as essential to animal as
vegetable life. Physicians say the num-
Der of patients cured in hospital rooms
exposed to the rays of the sun are four
times as great as those confined in dark
ened rooms.
To make paper stick to whitewashed
walls; make sizing of common glue and
water of the consistency OF llnseed OIL,
and apply with brush to the wall, taking
care to 90 over every part, and especially
top and bottom. Apply the paper in the
ordinary way.
1t is not generally known that poultices
made of Indian meal are quite suitable for
application in internal inflammation, such
as pneumonia, pieurisy, inflammation of
the bowels, etc. 1t is used in the form of
hot mush. prepared just as it were to be
eaten. If one part of mustard is added to
four parts of meal, the p~oultice will excite
a moderate irritation of the skin, but can
be kept on for hours without blistering:

WHITE FRUIT CAKE.

WHITE FRUIT CAKE
Two cups of white sugar beaten to a
cream with one cup of butter, one cup of
butter, one cup of milk, q cups of flour,
whites of seven eggs, two teaspoons of
baking powder. When all has been thor
oughly mixed, add one pound each of
sliced citron, ~raisins, blanched almonds
and figs.
CHEAP CREAM PIE.
One cup of sugar, three coffee-cups of
milk and n ~teaspoonful of salt. Let
these get boiling hot. While they are
heating, stir free from Jumps II cups of

raw, in the proportion of n pound of
beef to n quart of water, add pork rinds
with all the fat taken off. Let this cook
slowly for two or three days. When cold,
skim off all the fat and put it in another
vessel. By adding either barley rice,
sago, vermicelli or macaroni for thick
ening, this stock may be used for any
soup requiring meat broth.
FRICASSEED CHICKEN.
Choose a dry-picked young fowl; cut
it into joints, strip off the skin, rinse in
warm water, dip in cold water, drain and
dredge with flour. Put the pieces in a
warm saucepan and cover with hot water.
