The Best Publication of its Kind.

There can be no question about the merits
of the Scientific american. 1t is the best
publication of its kind in the world. There
IS no more instructive paper to read your
self or to give your boy.
Perhaps some of our readers have visited
the extensive offices of the Scientific Amer
lean, at 391 Broadway, New York, but many
have not, and to such the following &C.
count may be Of interest. A correspondent
who recently had this pleasure informs us
that he was greatly surprised at the mag
nitude of the establishment. 1t suggested
to his mind an enormous insurance company
or banking house. At the main Office, which
is principally devoted to the patent bust
ness-forming as 1t does SO important
part of the essablishment-mayb be seen the
members of the firm and their able corps
Of examiners. Ready access to the princi-
pals is afforded to every one and here may
be seen inventors from all parts OF the
country showing their models and draw
ings, and explaining their inventions. The
models left by inventors form large and
interesting collection, and are kept i'll a
room by themselves. The large corps OF
dIaughtsmen who prepare the patent draw
ings are for the nc part experienced me-
chaDics, electricians, or engineers, some or
IL m having been connected with the U. 8.
Patent Office Most of the correspondence
io carried Oh by type writers, and this ne
cessitates a separate department, where a
number of experienced female type writer's
ard stenOgrapherS are constantly employ
ed. The dark room, where the photographs
Of the patent drawings are copied, and
where the photographs for the ARCHITECTURAL
department are developed, is also on this
foor. On the floor above may be found the
editorial rooms, cOmpOSitOrS and sub

wv Poisoning.

A correspondent in gleanings in Bee

ton:
For the benefit of all who may come in
contact with poison ivy, poison sumach,
rattlesnakes and other poisonous reptiles
and insects, l wish to inform them that
lobelia in1ata has been in my practice
botanic or physio medicaD successful
remedy. think I have saved very many
lives with It. My brother, A. Tyrrell, NJ.
D., and |, who have been in the practice
of medicine over fifty years, were poisoned
very badly every summer when we were
boys at work on the farm. We suffered
torments for what we thought was no sin.
When scratching and rubbing was ire
sistible we rubbed our feet and legs with
many kinds Of herbs in trying to stop the
itching and burning, but with very little
relief until we used green lobelia herbs,
which relieved our sufferings every time
after when we got poisoned. 1 thought
then that the knowledge we had gained
of lobelia was worth $50 to US as antidote
for ivy poison.

Personiied Plants.

Plants are thus personifed by The
Western Christian Advocate: The pepper
and mustard represent a class known as
SHARP" people; the spice trees, others,
and tobacco and barley, saloonkeepers.
The violet and lily are the preachers Of
humility, purity and righteousness. The
tea plant and catnip are the old ladies Of
the village, without whom society would
be incomplete. The beet and sugar cane
are confectioners; roses and pinks, per-
tuners; wheat and corn, provision deal
ers; and the cocoanut palm furnishes as
many articles as the country store. The
little wayside plants by stagnant pools
are scavengers. Some plants prefer water
they are the Baptists; some run all
over-they are the Methodists; some
stand up straight and orderly-they are
the Presbyterians; others cling to ancient
walls and churches-they are the Episco-
palians and Catholics. There are plants
that live alone, like hernits; others lead
q pomadic life. wandering all over every.
thing.

"North Carolina, Good State to be
Born In, etc"

Kansas has but two natives among
the members of her legislative house.
Texas has only twelve natives among
the one hundred and eight members OF
her house.-Star.
"North Carolina is good State to
be born in, but poor State to live IN
This is saying which has become COM
mon. Sad to say, it is remark made
by talented young man born in North
Carolina. He worked hard and per-
sistently in his native State for some
years. He had no encouragement,
and went elsewhere. There his worth
was recognized and he reaped honors
Justly due him. We venture to say that
some of the members of the Texas leg
islature are natives of North Carolina.
Only twelve members of her house were
born in that State. The other ninety
six members are from other States.
Why did not these States recognize
and use these pushing men? Why did
they let them go to build up other
States? Two men who became Presi-
dents were born in North Carolina.
But they reflect presidential honors on
other States They were not recog-
nized properly here. Some OF the
most brilliant and prominent young
men in the Union have recently left
this State. and are reaping golden
horors elsewhere. They showed their
worth and ability and it was recognized
elsewhere. We either did not or could
not offer sufficient encouragement and
inducement to keep them, and there
fore lost them. Among these may be
mentioned Mr.. Walter H. Page of the
Forum Rev. Thos. Dixon, ]Jr.. of the
Twenty third Street church, New York ;
Rev. E. NJ. Poteat, Of New Haven,
Conn; Chas. L. Smith, of Johns-Hop-
kins University; Mr.. VIM. Kerr, of
Chicago, inventor ; Prof. Eugene Bran
son, Superintendent OF Athens (Ga.)
city schools. There are many Others,
not yet thirty years of age, who have
recently gone from North Carolina
where they knezo they were not appre-
ciated, and in their new homes are
reaping the reward of merit-some-
thing apparently not to be done here.
Hundreds of others have gone who
have been financially successful. A
deplorable fact is that many Of the best
young men we have are now looking
toward other places. Many will leave
US. We need them. Can't we give
them more encouragement and induce
ment and keep them. A spirit of lib
erality toward them is needed. Our
tendency to get along with "make
shifts" is too great; and even with
these we deal as misery as possible in
stead of as literally as possible. This
system ought to be reformed. 1t rests
with us to make North Carolina one
| of the grandest States to live in as well
Is to be born in. Let US awake-every
man start the reform-not wait fol
another to do it. Shall we, or shall
we not ?-Bi6HtaI Recorder.

A SMOKE HOUSE.

The house is 6 by feet square. The
bottom Is excavated the size of the build
ing, feet deep, filed in with small stones,
and on this a brick floor, well cemented,
Is laid. This insures dryness. The walls
are Of brick, 8 inches thick and feet
high, with a small door on one side, lined
on the inside with sheet iron or zinc.
Hooks should be firmly attached to the
joists, on which to hang the hams and
shoulders. This style of smoke house is
not very expensive, is safe from fire, and
when not in use for smoking meat is an
excellent receptacle for ashes, which
ought never to be kept in contact with
wood, on account of the danger from
spontaneous combustion.

in the Injunction suit of the Richmond &
Danyille Railroad. This company as
lessee of the Oxford q Henderson Railroad
had enjoined the Durham Il Northern and
Raleigh d CASTOR from trespassing upon
the right of way in Henderson, which is in
dispute.
Williams. lessee of the Oxford Il Hender-
son Railroad Company, had entered upon
the said right of way, and made physical
connection with the Raleigh Il CASTOR,
under an agreement to return it whenever
the latter company demanded it. So His
Honor dissolved the injunction and the bill
was dismissed.
The Richmond & Danville has also en-
joined the Durham Il Northern from using
the track which the Durham & Northern
had built OH Peabody street in Durham,
n. C., by authority of the mayor and com.
missioners of that town, the street having
been regularly condemned as street and
used as such for many years. The track
had been completed by the Durham &
Northern before the injunction was issued
The Richmond & Danville claimed title to
said street because it is located on what
was originally the right of way of the
North Carolina Railroad, now leased by
the Richmond 4 Danville His Honor,
Judge Bond, upon its being suggested to
him by counsel for the Durham & Northern
Railroad Company that the Richmond &
Danville now intended to tear up the said
track, directed Judge Schenk, counsel for
Richmond & Danville, to telegraph to the
authorities of that road not to interfere
with the Durham & Northern track, but to
preserve the same just as it is, until the i'll
junction can be heard.
In the meantime the Durham & Northern
have filed regular condemnation proceed
ings to condemn said right of way, which
will be heard OIL April 22.-Nescs- Observer,

Varieties OF Olives

The designation of queen has no refer
ence to size, only the variety, they being
round-the others oval-in shape. The
olives put up for table use by the Bordeaux
bottlers are of several different varieties.
The large Spanish olives, known to us as
queen olives: are known to the trade as
padrones Sevillas. These, by the way, are
quite distinct variety from the other va
rieties grown in Spain. known as man
zanillas, which are used for making oil,
and the gordalles, having much more meat
but less oil. The smaller olives put up in
Bordeaux are principally of French growth
and are known as amelleux, verdsllas and
lucques, the latter called here crescent
olives, on account of their shape, and are
much preferred to any other for taDle use.
The verdallas have a strong, full favor,
and are much used for sauces to be served
with meats while the amelleaux have q
little more oil and less flavor. There is
also ii fourth variety, known as the pic
nolies, similar to the amelleaux in char
acter, but larger and longer Olive farcies
are amelleaux olives stuffed with anchovies
and capers As rule, the American trade
prefers the queen olives, on account of their
size and fine appearance, the smaller size
being as large as the largest of the other
varieties; but in Europe the smaller olives.
are quite generally preferred, on account
of their favor and the finer quality of the
meat.-Ameficaa Analyst.

Don't Toss the Rabv.

The throwing baby into the air and
catching him again is always risky prac-
tice, certain though the tosser may be of
his quickness of eye and sureness of hand.
A sudden and unexpected movement of the
child in his mid-air fight may result in a
cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up his
baby boy one morning and tossed him to
the ceiling. Twice the little fellow went
flying through the air and came down
safely into the waiting arms. The third
time the excited child gave spring of de-
light as his fathers hands released him,
plunged forward and, pitching over the
fathers shoulder, fell head downward to
the floor. When the poor baby came out
of the stupor in which he lay for hours it
was found that, although no bones had
been broken, the brain had sustained an
injury that would in all probability render
the child an imbecile.
Another baby snatched from the floor
and tossed into the air received a fatal
wound in the top of the head from the
pointed ornament of a chandelier. Still
another child slipped between the fathers
hands as he caught at her in her down.
ward fight, and although his frenzied
grasp on the child's arm saved her from
falling to the ground, it wrenched muscles
and sinews so cruelty that the girls arm
was shrunken and practically useless to
her all her life. These are extreme cases,
but the fact of their occurring at all should
be enough to warn one from the habit of
relinquishing ones hold on child when
tossing it.-Hdrper's Bdsar.
