PRUNING GRAPE VINES.

1t is not such mystery to learn how
to prune grape vine as many suppose. A
few points will make the matter clear,
and the exercise of good common sense is
better far than specific directions. Fruit
is always borne on the new growth from
buds springing out of last years wood.
So in pruning care must be taken to leave
enough of last years buds to furnish fruit
canes for the coming season. If nothing
but wood two years or more old is left
buds will start out, just as they would
from vigorous forest tree trimmed down
to its trunk. There are germs of buds in
all healthy old wood that will develop if
nature has no other outlet. But such
buds must grow year, and then if left
alone they will make new buds that will
grow into fruit canes the following sea-
son. We sometimes hear of people that
prune so severely that the vine bore
nothing but leaves and canes the follow
ing season, but bore good crops of fruit
thereafter. This is not the usual mis-
take of beginners. They see the swell
ing buds on last years canes. From
these they expect their fruit, and they
naturally think the more buds they leave
the better their fruit crop. So the vine
grows into a tangled mass, and too much
fruit being set, little, if any, of it ripens.

An Indian Tradition.

"Uncle" D. W. Hughes, well-pre-
served and intelligent citizen OF the
county, who has spent sixty-four years OF
his life in this immediate section, VISITED
the Times office and told many reminis-
cences of his younger days. Mr.. Hughes
said that the Indians who lived here were
the very personifcation of honesty, ana
they regarded truthfulncss as one OF the
greatest of all virtues. When man
knowingly told falsehood he was per-
petuallv taunted with it, two fingers
spread out in the shape of V were held
up before him on every occasion, which
meant ''forked tongue.
He relates a story of Indian tradition
which was very interesting. In village
a mile and half below the present site
of Oxford two squaws gave birth to twins
and the little pappooscs were all as
spotted as leopards. The squaws were
tried and all condemned to death at the
stake. On the day the entire population
gathered at the scene of execution, more
than seventeen hundred in number.
When all had been bound at the stake
and torches applied, there was sound as
of thunder, the earth opened and every
soul, with the exception OF two young
braves, were swallowed in its depths.
These young braves went off to the
Cherokee nation, got them squaws' came
and settled down near the scene OF the
great accident and remained until driven
away before liberalization of the whites.
This happened only sixty years before the
coming of the Hughes family into this
section, and was often related to the
family.
A large pond of beautiful water now
covers the spot. tits called "Blue Pond' "
and soundings on different occasion nave
failed to find its bottom. A few years
ago great tree was floating in this pond.
Alternately it would raise its trunk high
above the surface of the waters, then as
regularly would its roots be turned up
ward and project above the water in the
same way. This is not tradition, but
facts.-Anniston. (Alq.) Times.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE GLANpERs.

Chambers is such virulent disease that
it is wise to run no risks when horse
presents the common symptoms oft. These
are a thin glutinous discharge from the
nose, which is apt to dry in flakes about
the nostrils and lead the horse to be con-
stantly rubbing the nose on the hangers,
posts, or fences to get rid of it, and a
swelling of the gland under the jaw at
the throat on the same side of the head
as the nostril from which the discharge
comes. The lining membrane of the
postril soon becomes of a purplish or
leaden hue, and small spots of liberation,
deep and with prominent edges, appear.
This latter symptom is conclusive as to
the nature of the disease, and these spots
rapidly enlarge and run together, form
ing patches of raw ulcers. The horse
should be killed at once, as cure is impossi-
BILE at this stage. Before any spots appear
the horse should be kept by himself and
given one-ounce doses of hyposulphite of
soda, and the nostrils should be sprayed
with solution of ten grains of carbclic
acid in two ounces of water; if the disease
is simple catarrh the horse will soon re-
cover, and recovery may be made at this
stageif if the disease is really glan0ers.-

ANGEL CAKE.

For angel cake take one cup of flour,
measured. after one sitting, and then
mixed with one teaspoonful of cream Of
tartar and sifted four times. Beat the
whites of eleven eggs with wire beatel
or perforated spoon until stiff and f1aky.
Add one cup and half of fine granu'
lated sugar and beat again; add one tea
spoonful. of vanilla or almond, then mix
in the -four quickly and lightly. Line
the bottom and funnel of cake pan witE
paper hot creased, pour in the mixture
and bake about forty minutes. Wher
done loosen the cake around the edge
and turn out at once. Some persons have
been more successful with this cake BY
mixing the sugar with the flour and cream
of tartar and adding all at once to tn.
beaten egg. Boiled icing is made with
one cup of granulated sugar, one-third o.
cup of boiling water, white of one egg
and one saltspoonful of cream of tartar
Boil the sugar and water without stirring
until the syrup taken up on skewer will
"thread" or ''rope." When it is nearly
at that point beat the egg stiff, add the
cream of tartar, and pour the boiling
syrup over the egg in fine stream, beat
ing we'll. When it thickens and is per.
fectly smooth, pour it over the cake. II
hardens quickly, and should be put OF
the cake before it stiffens enough to drop

FIapping Of q Fly's Wing.

In his book "On the Senses, Instincts
and Intelligence of Animals" Sir John
Lubbock records some of his later obser-
vations, among which are these:
The slow tapping of butterdy's wing
produces no sound, but when the move
ments are rapid noise is produced, which
increases in shrillness with the number OF
vibrations. Thus the housefy, which
produces the sound F, vibrates its wings
81, 12O times a minute, or 335 times In o
second, and the bee, which makes sound
of A, as many as 26, 400 times, or 44O
times in a second. On the contrary, a
tired bee huns on E, and therefore, ac-
cording to theory, vibrates its wings only
$50 times second.
Marcy has succeeded in confirming these
numbers graphically. He fixed a fly so
that the tip of the wing just touched a
cylinder, which was moved by clock
work. Each stroke of the wing caused
o mark, of course, very slight, but still
quite perceptible, and he thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in a
second, agreeing almost exactly with the
number inferred from the note produced.

Talmace Sketches an Ideal Home.

Make your home the brightest place on
earth if you would charm your children
to the high path of virtue and rectltude
and religion, says Rev. T. De Witt Tai
mage in the New York Observer. DO
not always turn the blinds the wrong
way. Let the light which puts gold on
the gentian and spots the pansy pour into
your dwellings. Do not expect the
little feet to keep step to Dead march.
Do not cover up your walls with such
pictures pictures as Vests "Death on q
Pale Horse" or Tintorettos massacre
of the Innocents." Rather cover them If
you have pictures, with ''The Hawking
Party" and "The Mill by the Mountain
Stream, =" and "The Fox Hunt, " and "The
Children Amid Flowers, and "The Har-
vest Scene," and "The Saturday Night
Marketing" Get you no hint of cheer
fulness from grasshopper's leap, and
lambs frisk, and quails whistle, and
garrulous streamlet which from the rock
at the mountain top clear down to the
meadow ferns under the shadow of the
steep, comes looking for the steepest
place to leap off at, and talking just to
hear itself talk. If all the skies hurtled
with tempest and everlasting storm
wandered over the sea, and every noun
tain stream were raving mad, frothing at
the mouth with mud foam, and there
were nothing but simoons blowing among
the hills, and there were neither lark's
carol nor hummingbird's trill nor water
falls dash, but only bears bark and
panther's scream and VOLTS howl, then
you might well gather into your homes
only the shadows.

FLANK OF BEEF.

This cheap piece, costing six or eight
cents per pound, is excellent If properly
cooked. It weighs about four and S
half pounds. After it comes from the
hands of the butcher lay it out on the
table, and with sharp knife remove al
the skin and most of the fat which ad.
heres. Sprinkle it on both sides with
salt and pepper, and lay over four or five
very thin slices of fat salt pork; roll up
tightly and tie with two bands of soft
old muslin. Put little butter or dripping
in a pot large enough to contain it easily,
and when the butter or dripping is hot
Law in the roll to brown on all sides; then
add pint of boiling water, and stand it
where it will simmer until very tender
three hours or more. There is no danger
of its being too tender. Lay on a hot
dish and thicken the brown gravy which
is in the pot, sending it to the table In
q sauce boat. The meat is carved like
Jelly cake in thin downward slices. The
next day it may be heated by steaming and
served with tomato sauce. 1t is nice
sliced cold or made into minces. Some
times cupful of dressing made of minced
onion, bread crumbs, butter and seasoning
is spread over the meat instead of the
slices of pork. 1t may be decorated and
turned into an elegant company dish by
sticking small skewers (about four) into
it after it is done, the skewers being
strung with alternate stoned olives and
canned mushrooms that have been
simmered for ten minutes in the gravy.
In this case serve mushroom sauce with
it, and pass couple of olives and mush-
rooms to each Decentralization Ag'a-

PoAcHED EGGS WITH SAUCE.

Eggs are best poached in deep frying
pan, three parts full of boiling water, to
which a tablespoonful of strong vinegar
and teaspoonful of salt has been added !
small muffin rings may be laid in the pan,
and each egg carefully broken into it.
Three minutes are usually enough to cook
them in gently boiling water. Slipa per
forated skinner or cake turner under the
muffin ring and egg; lift both out to-
gether and slip both on q half-siice OF
buttered toast, then remove the ring; no
attempt should be made to poach more
than two or three at time, nor any but
very fresh eggs be used.
Make sauce as follows:
Melt tablespoonful of butter and one
of -four over the fire till they bubble;
pour half pint of hot milk quickly to it,
stirring we'll all the time till it boils; have
ready teaspoonful of very finely chopped
parsley and a half one OF. chives or young
spring onion; add to the sauce with a
saltspoonful of salt; let them boil five
minutes, and pour it over the eggs and
toast.-HouseuSfe.

The Presidents Father-in.LaW.

The Rev. DR.. Scott, President Harrl'
sons father-in-law, keeps steadily at hls
desk in the Pension Office, according to
the New York World, which also says
that 'his daughters and the President
himself have asked him to resign his po.
sition, but he refuses to live in idleness.
Shortly after the election, Mrs. Harrison
wrote to her father asking him to quit
work and live at the White House. Her
husband also wrote to DR.. Scott, cor
daily supporting his wife's request. But
the old gentleman sturdily refused the
temptation, and said that Ee had been SO

he could not give it up. His compan-
