Goldfp Roeki CHAM.

1t is known fact that our neighbor
county of Rockingham is rich in minerals,
but it was not known until recently that
the precious ore could be found in paying
quantities. The editor of the Madison Lea
der has been shown by Mr.. J. VI. Price, of
Leaksville. splendid specimen of ore
which he found on his land at only four feet
below the surface, while prospecting for the
precious metal. Not being an expert in
mineralogy, he referred it to competent
judges, who pronounced it fine specimen
which will assay at least 25 per cent. of pure
gold from the rough ore. Mr.. Price is jubi-
liant over the find, and will develop the
mines. The land is about 10 miles from
Madison, near the Henry county line.

Poison OF Human Teeth.

'The poison conveyed by human teeth
is one of the most annoying that a
physician ever has to deal with, writes
DR.. A. C. Robinson. A bitten ear or
nose is months in healing, where more
important wound inflicted by an instru-
ment would readilyyiel to simple rene
dies. / have under my attention severe
and most complicated cases of blood
poisoning, in which the patient had but
slightly abraided the hand in the course
of right by striking the kuuckles
against the teeth of his opponent. /
have known hands thus poisoned only
saved from amputation by the applica-
cation of all the resources of science.
Tobacco or whisky, or arrangement of
the stomach from many other causes,
may be irresponsible for the poisonous con-
dition of the teeth, and am not pre-
pared to say that man with good health
and a clean, sweet mouth would convey
the poison, but can only speak of the
frequency of this class of cases and the
difficulty of attending them success
fully. - Chicago Neaos.

Coffined Before His Time.

The Poster lloyd reports from Belgrade
what narrowly escaped being a case of
shameful superstition. The police found
lying in the street the body of a man ap-
parently frozen to death. Efforts to
revive him failed, and his identity hav-
ing been ascertained, he was handed over
to his family for interment. The ceme-
tery was considerable way distant; and
as it was being reached the driver of the
hearse told the priest who attended for
the religious service that he heard some
noise in the coffin. The Clergyman and
Others drawing near also heard the noise,
and all ran away lest a vampire should
issue from il and attack them. The
driver, terrified at finding himself alone,
turned about and drove the hearse to the
nearest police station. By this time a
knocking was distinctly audible. The
coffin was forced open, and the man was
found alive and in very exhausted state
He complained pathetically of the at
tempt to bury him despite his remon-
stances. He was taken to the hospital
and had nearly recovered. He had been
spending the evening with some boon
companions, and wandering in state of
intoxication, fell and became insensible
from the cold. Probably the jolting of
the hearse revived him. 1t is supersti-
tion in Servia and among many Slav peo-
pie that when man dies suddenly his
spirit returns as vampire and preys on
his near relatives and friends.

ARomance Of the Railroad.

The great strike on the go" road re-
minds me of romance, says writer in
the Chicago Nail. In one of the towns
on the main line lives man who for
years has been in the employ of the cor
poration which is now having trouble.
From an apprentice boy in the workshop
he worked his way up until he became
an engineer. One night he was called
up and sent out on an extra. He had not
gone far on his run when something
danced before the glare of his headlight,
and as quickly did he reverse the engine
Leaving the pilot, he walked down the
track and found a child neatly wrapped
and wide awake. He took it back to
the pilot, made a cot for it, and proceed
ed on his runs On his return home the
waif of the road was taken to his home,
adopted, reared, and educated. She be.
came one of the beauties of the little
town and grew into womanhood. The
engineer, although nearly thirty-five
years older than the pretty-faced Great
ure, loved her, and they were married.
When there were rumors of strike the
old engineer appealed to his child-wife
for advice, and she begged him to re-
main with the company and not desert
the road on which he had found her and
from which he rescued her. He consent

A Noted American Dentist.

! DR.. Thomas Evans, the American den
tist, is said to have made a silver tube
for the throat of the German Crown
Prince by which that personage's life
was prolonged.
DR.. Evans is one of the celebrities of
Paris. In the early days of the Second
Empire he was practising dentistry in an
humble way in Paris. His skill coming
to the ears of the Emperor he was called
to attend that potentate professionally.
So well was the third Napoleon pleased
with Evans manipulation of the imperial
molars that he gave him private informa-
tion OF the plans of Haussmann, the Bill
Tweed of that day, who was then re-
constructing the Paris streets. By taking
advantage of the Emperor's tip and in
vesting Iudiciously in land DIR. Evans
made large fortune, but continued to
practise dentistry and to bask in the
patronage of royalty.
1t was undoubtedly due to DR.. Evans
cleverness that the Empress Eugene and
the Prince Imperial were smuggled out
of Paris after the news of the Sedan dis
aster, and he claims to have had the dis
tinguished honor Rfterward of being
kissed by the Emperor in grateful recog-
milton Of that service.
DR.. Evans is stoutish man of medium
height, with long whiskers of the kind
described in Chicago as Sides dyed a
deep black out of respect, his enemies
say, to the memory of the osculatory
Emperor. He dresses plainly, lives in a
handsome villa in the beautiful Avenue
du Bois de Boulogne, occupies himself
with the Church affairs of the American
Colony, owns the weekly paper called
the american Register and is ready pro-
fessionally to answer. the call Of any
patient above the rank of duke. In cases
where royalty itself is afflicted DR.. Evans

viii some day dread the funereal month Of
March, because it is then that consumption
reaps its richest harvest. Consumption they
tell us is caused by this, that and the other
thing. by microbes in the air, by micro-organ-
isms in the blood, by deficient nutrition, by
thousand and ono things but whatever the
cause, decay begins with a cough and the
remedy that will effectually stop the cause Of
that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence OF wasting. To
stop IL effectually, a remedy must be used
that will search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and do away with the
cough. This is the power, special TO itself
possessed alone by Warmers Log Cabin Cough

OF all the queer superstitions Of which
l ever heard there ie one possessed by
man on Change that caps the super
stitious climax, says a st. Louis Globe
Democrat writer. / won't tell you his
name, but he is one of the most promi.
nent grain and pork dealers in the city.
One night last summer he was a visitor
at the Fifth District Police Station. We
were bothered good deal just then by
bats that keep flying up and down
through the stable attached to the sta
ton.
Our visitor and the stable boys killed
several Of the bats, and the liver was
taken from each of them and carried
away in the merchants pocket. He
wanted them, he said, to give him luck
in his business transactions, for he de-
clared there was more good luck in one
bats liver than there was in half hun
dred rabbits feet, which were well
known to possess luck of no mean pro-
portions. He told us where he had dis
covered the bats liver charm.
It was on a lower Mississippi steam
boot, about a year ago. A party OF col
ored deck-hauds were playing craps.
One of the party had bats liver, and he
laid it on the floor every time he picked
up the ivories to throw. As a result he
won all the money his companions had.
After doing this four or five times on
the trip up from New Orleans to Mem
phis, the bats liver holder was barred
from the game. He couldn't lose. The
merchant to whom refer carries his bats
liver to this day, and never thinks of 60
ing on Change without it.

A Prohibition Bride Wanted.

There was a small riot in Bolton re-
Gently, because a marriage, which had
been anticipated with much interest, did
not come oil. The bridegroom, a we'll
known tradesman, who is an ardent ad-
vocate of temperance principles, went to
the brides house before proceeding to
the church, and, placing a pledge card
before her, insisted on her at once signing
it. She refused, whereupon he announced
that there should be no wedding. The
clergymen and number of friends were
at the church, but the parties did not ap-
pear, and when the cause transpired a
number OF women assembled outside of
the brldegroom's house and pelted him
with rotten eggs and other pleasant
missiles, and so much resentment was
manifested that he found it expedient to
leave home for atime.-LORdOR Truth.

Life in Libby.

From the story of the celebrated escape
from Libby in the Century we quote the
following: AT night the six large lofts
presented strange war-pictures, over
which a single tallow-candle wept copi-
GUS and greasy tears that ran down over
the petrihed loaf of corn bread, Borden's
condensed milk can, or bottle in which
it was set, and where it struggled on
until taps, when the guards, with un-
conscious irony, shouted, 'Lights' at
which signal it usually disappeared amid
a shower of boots and such other missiles
as were at hand. The sleepers covered
the six floors, lying in ranks head to head
and foot to foot, like PROSTATE lines of
battle. For the general good, and to
preserve something like military pre-
cision, these ranks especially when cold
weather compelled them to lie close for
better warmth) were subdivided into
convenient squads under charge of a
Captain, who was invested with au-
thority to see that every man lay spoon
fashion,
"No consideration tof personal con-
venience was permitted to interfere with
the general comfort of the squad. ,
Thus, when the hard floor could no
longer be endured on the right side
especially by the thin men-the Captain
gave the command: Attention, Squad
Number Four! Prepare to spoon One
-two-spoon! And the whole squad
Topped over on the left side"

Enemies Of the Peach Tree.

The worst enemies of the peach are the
yellows and the Peach Borer (Fgeria
exitiosa). The only effectual riddsnce
of the former is to destroy the tree, root
and branch, and burn it as soon as the
enemy makes its appearance in the orch
ard. Various remedies have been pro-
posed, but there seems to be no substitute
for eradication. The borer begins its
depredations early in the summer and
continues them during the season, and if
the tree attacked is not disturbed until
October the little white worms Matched
from the eggs will be found of all sizes
from the sixteenth of an inch to half
inch or more. 1t continues in this state
until the early days of summer, when It
comes out in the winged state. Under
this last form the insect is slender,
dark blue four-winged moth, having a
slight resemblance to a wasp or ichneu-
mon fly. They may be seen in almost
any garden where peaches are grown. The
moths lay their eggs at the collar of the
tree, little below the surface of the soil.
If not taken in hand, and persistently
hunted to death, they will, in a few
years. destroy the best peach orchard. 1t
is good deal of trouble to destroy them
by the most elIectual remedy-digging
away the soil from the collar of the tree,
and, on bended knees, with sharp pointed
knife and wire, scraping away the saw
dust and gum from the wounded bark,
and impaling the enemy. This should
be done several times in the course of
the season, especially in June and octo-
ber. When this is done thoroughly, the
wounds inflicted by the worms are soon
healed by the growth of the tree, and its
life is prolonged. If neglected the tree
is girdled and it soon dies. 1t is a
great safeguard against the attacks of
the moths to fasten strip of sheathing
paper or other covering around the
cleansed trunk, extending two inches
below the surface of the ground to a
foot above, american Agriculturist.

Feeding Hogs. .

1t is the fact that it is as productive
of evil results to feed swine too much as
it is to feed them too little. Some peo-
pie seem to entertain the idea that the
only purpose to be sought in fatteninp
animals or in feeding them for growth is
70 stun them, though a moment of
thS-sht will show plainly enough that
stutfing means a decentralization of the di-
gestive apparatus. 1t is rule often laid
down, and it is good one, that animals
should never be fed more than they will
eat up clean; and if feeding ALWAYS re-
celved the attention that it should, that
would always be the plan. But our i'm
perfect ideas and systems are very apt to
be the result of thoughtlessness. Start
ing with the idea that corn makes fat,
and that the more corn we feed the more
fat we will get, we shovel the corn before
the hog and let it gorge itself. 1t is true
that the more corn we feed the
more fat we will have, provided the di-
gestlve functions take care of it. II they
do not, the stomach is overloaded, and
an overloaded stomach means trouble to
greater or less degree. 1t is to prevent
this that we should always aim, whether
we are feeding for fat or bone and mus
Gle. Profit in meat production means
economy In feeding. If we lose an ear
of corn either by having it trod under
foot and INTO the dirt in consequence of
feeding more than the hogs will eat, or
II we waste 1t by overlooking the stom-
ach, destroying or impsiring digestion,
and thus preventing the system from
utilizing what is consumed, it is so
much of the profit and while one ear
OF corn may not amount to much a
good many ears amount to a great
deal. Columns have been written
to show how the price of corn NAV
be raised by feeding swine, and it is
always interesting reading 10 the swine
breeder and feeder. But it is no trouble
at all to figure out the profit or loss of
profit OF bushel of corn that is wasted.
The herd should be carefully watched ali
through the fattening period The rule
so often laid down by the Rural and Stock
man we again state: Do not feed too
heavily when the fatteIing process is be-
gun, and, by the way, that ought to have
been begun, and generally has been before
this time. Feed lightly at first and gradu-
ally increase the amount; and when the
hogs have become accustomed to full
feed, feed them all they will eat and nc
more. Give them good, clean food, and
feed on a clean floor. Never act upon
the notion that the hog is naturally
hlthy. The animal will eat filth, but il
likes clean food as well as any animal. -

Cramp in Fowls.

This is a disease to which chicken;
about six or eight weeks old are very
subject, and IL is chiefly due to damp.
ness, as it is found mostly in birds reared
on a clay soil. By giving very dry coops
and plenty of fine, dry soil or ashes in
the houses and sheds, much can be done
to prevent the disease. Birds affected
by this trouble first begin to show cramp
in the feet, aud the toes curl up so that
they cannot spread them out. Then the
whole leg is affected and they walk upon
their ankles. Apparently they are other
wise in good health and eat as heartily
as when entirely right. The first sign is
little lsmeness in walking, and as soon
as this Is noticed they should be removed
to a dry boarded floor covered with
straw, and kept there until better. As a
curative, foment the legs well with hot
water, and if the birds are large enough,
put strips of flannel as bandages around
the legs and feet. II this does not
speedily effect cure, rub the legs with
turpentine and put near warm fire at
night. The food will need to be good
and stimulating. The birds should be
dealt with before they are seriously af-
fected, hence the necessity for keeping
constant watch upon all the stock. Cal-
