A st. Louis business nan recently
wanted a secondhand typewriter, SO
he inserted al advertisement in the
morning papers, reading: II want a
fair or good typewriter" and gave his
address. He received m reply from
n man who had n machine for sale, and
seventy-eight replies from girls, who
gave their speed per minute, with many
details that We're not particularly relc-
want, such as the colorof hairanI ewes.
Nearly all pleaded great necessity for
work and offered to begin on any
terms. The incident convinced this
man. as it would probably convince
most people. that the supply of female
typewriters and st~enographers is large
l.y in G of the demand and that the
Language needs a new word to describe
the typewriter who wears bangs.

Nor sought he with philosophy
To cure the worlds vexations.

The Worship of Rum.

The worship of rum is one of the strang-
est hallucinatinns of the human mind.
Taking out of the great army of worship
ers those who traffic in liquor and the
drinkers, and there is still left an immense
number-indeed the majority-who do not
drink and have no personal interest in the
liquor traffic. Yet they are as bitter
against any movement that is made to
prohi bit this ruinous business as if they
were. In Rhode Island and Pennsylvania
prohibition has recently been voted down.
and this practical worship of rum by decent
men is frequently shown by the congrata-
latory remarks made by the press and by
individuals. The liquor business is curse.
That statemen cannot be doubted by any
intelligent, sane man; and when the ques-
tion is submitted to the people, independ-
ent of partisan action, as it was in the two
States named, it would seem as if there
would be favorable result. But the Curl
Gus worship of rum does the business.
Men who do not drink, who despise rum
seller, who loathe drunkard who would
not employ or do business with man whose
breath smelt of liquor, vote to legalize the
traffic. Now what is the reason2 1t is just
this: Rum always has been sold and is
consequently an old moss-covered evil that
demands respect because of its age. 1t is
the old story of doing as our fathers did +;
it is the old story of fighting innovocations;
it is the old story of accepting old meth
DDS as certainly orthodox; and we go on
burying fathers and brothers and sons in
drunkards' graves, because that has been
the way from time whence the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary. 1t is
the sublimest stupidity, but the fact

Onions instead of Quinine.

One day I was taken with chills and
headache, signs that my old enemy, mala-
ria, was on hand. My quinine box was
empty, and l was looking forward to
restless, sleepless night. In desperation,
peeled raw onion and slowly ate it, and
then went to bed with warm feet, and an
extra comforter, when, presto | was
asleep in five minutes, and awakened in
the morning free from malaria and ready
for the days duties.
Our homely, but strong friend will be
appreciated in time as medicine, and if
agriculturists would turn their attention
to raising model onion, with the strong
scent taken out that taints the breath so
unpleasantly, families will be putting
their ''pills" in the cellar by the barrel,
and the doctors would take to onion farm
ing. The onion acts like cathartic and
diuretic, and may help to break up q cold
or lessen the bad symptoms. Said doc
tor 81 always store barrel of onions in
my cellar during the fall. We have them
cooked twice a week, and whoever of the
family is threatened with cold eats some
on Oh raw If this vegetable were gener-
ally eaten there would be no diphtheria,
rheumatism, gout, kidney, or stomach
troubles
"But bless you the young men and
women are afraid to eat them. One young
man went SO far as to say to me: If my
wife ate onions, l would get bill Of
divorce. '"-Ameracnn Gardener.

ever, we think the large kinds preferable,
although they may not be so good in quail
ity. The White Adriatic is highly recon-
mended in California, but SO far as we can
learn no one in the Gulf States has tested
it, except perhaps in Florida, but we have
no doubt that it will succeed. As all kinds
of figs grow readily from cuttings, there
would be no difficulty at all in securing a
sufficient quantity for planting. Figs can
not be transported to any distance In their
fresh condition without previous prepara-
ton. This difficulty might be overcome
by gathering them when they are fully
grown and begin to turn, placing them in
clear lime water or water saturated with
the fumes of burning sulphur, and send
them to the factory in covered tubs or fir
kins similar to those used in shipping
oysters in bulk.
There is no reason, however, why they
cannot be canned, preserved, dried or
crystallized at home. In the latter case
the extra profit, which is very large might
be saved, but the work must be done in q
thorough, practical and business like man
ner. Cans, labels, jars and boxes should
be of the very best description, so that
they can be placed upon the market in
competition with the most approved brands.
POMEGRANATES.
Pomegranates have very little value in
New Orleans, and we would not advise our
correspondent to grow them for this mar
ket. We are informed that they bring
good prices in the Western cities, and 8
moderate number might be produced for
shipment to the North and West.
The Times Democrat will always be
pleased to offer any suggestions or impart
any information in its power that will ad-
vance the horticultural interests of the
country. In the meanwhile, we would be
glad to hear from those better posted than
ourselves on this most important subject.

A Little Girls Art Work.

St. Louis has another prodigy, and she
may be seen at any hour during the day,
dressed in q brown blouse skirt, jumper
Jacket and a little round hat, frescoing the
walls of the Southern Hotel. Her name is
Carrie Meyers. and she resides with her
father at 106 Fourth street. Though only
fifteen years of age, Carrie has, unaided,
designed and executed the frescoing for
large number of the finest rooms in the
hotel, and is regarded by her employers as
an able and accomplished fresco artist.
She is very pretty and graceful, also ex-
ceedingly shy. Under the protecting
presence of her father, she escorted the
reporter to her studio, where all sized
canvasses of as many different subjects
graced the walls in charming confusion.
Luscious punches of fruits and flowers
hung beside and over meadow and wood
scenes, and an old-fashioned water mill,
lively and dripping, contrasted with land
scapes and portraits, all executed with
remarkable skill Carrie is not only an
artist she is also musician, and has
scattered around her room number of
instruments which she PLAYS just to while
away the time. A bass fiddle occupies one
corner and an organ another. On the
centre-table lay flute and a piccolo, and
on the organ violin. She plays all of
them wen.-From st. Louis Letter.

It is not easy to find out what the pecu.
| liar creed Of the Shakers is, beyond tina
they neither marry nor are given in mar
| rage andhold all goods in common. "Wt
do honestly by all men, show charity
where it is needed, keep our hands busy
and our hearts free from guile" said 6
sweet old lady, busy weaving straw bon
nets at loom and really it seemed 6
pretty good platform for anybody, Shaker
or not, to stand on.
1t was only by bit of good fortune that
was permitted to be present at worship
at Shakertown on Sunday in the big meet
ing house. In the rear part of the large
room were number of the most uncom-
Portable little benches in the world with
out backs and so low one had to fold up
like jackknife to sit on them-and above
them, against the wall there were lot of
hooks ON which the women hung their
straw bonnets as they came in Time was
when the tails and Innings of these bonnets
were of a sober, unworldly drab; but van
ity has crept even into Shakertown, and
more than one was of a most fetching pink
or blue. Of course, here as elsewhere the
men were on one side of the house and the
women on the other, for the sheep and
good everywhere in this-community.
After while when the room was pretty
we'll filled with demure looking women
and long-haired, STRAIGHTFORWARD men, a
woman rose to her feet and began singing
Instantly the song was taken up by the
others and the entire assembly began
marching round and round, keeping time
10 %la o1 r tbair
in wreathipg, beckoning GESTURE that
spirit. Such was the famous religious
principal part of their worship.
But picturesque as is the rambling old
town they have built, quiet and serene as
gentle socialism as Shakerism is failure.
It is too alien to the country and the times
when every man is for himself and to him
self. Year by year the community is get
ting poorer, the herds are fewer, and the
broad acres pass into the hands of the
neighboring farmers. With the religious
enthusiasm that once made the place pos
sible is gone the exalted self sacrifice that
looked only to the public good, and Sha-
kertown is now little more than a shelter
for helpless childhood and peaceful old age
There is something very tender and a
little pathetic in these old men and women
who look at you wistfuIly out of eyes that
are still childish and unworldly, and yet
dim with age.
"By their fruits shall ye know them,"
said one, is the test of all religion, and it
is certain that the Shakers, in their simple,
unselfsh lives, have done much more of
good than harm, and their good fruits are
known to the world.-E. N. G., in N. o..
PicaYune.
