frigate, boldly confronting her huge antae-
onist. The large iron pendulum swung
aside, the muzzle of gun appeared, a
laundering report followed, and mass of
iron weighing 40 pounds struck the slop-
ing sides of the ram. The gauntlet thus
boldly thrown down was at once taken up,
and the Merrimac, at close quarters,
poured in broadside, enveloping the scene
in a heavy pail of smoke. AS this floated
lazily to leeward it revealed the Monitor

Burn None But Dry Wood.

A certain amount of undried wood
will raise from the freezing to the boil
ing point twenty-seven pounds of water;
when dried it will raise to the same
temperature thirty-six pounds of water.
Hence drying the wood increases its
heating power one-third. When there
is moisture either in the wood or on it,
it is converted into vapor at an expense
of heat. The moisture also prevents
the ready combination of the oxygen
with the carbon, and as u result more
carbon is driven off. Every one knows
that when green or wet wood is burned
it makes more and denser smoke than
wood that is seasoned or dry. This is
in part owing to the watery vapor, and
also to the carbon carried off; the car
bon lost is so much fuel wasted. 1t is
easier to cut certain amount OF green
wood than the same amount of dry
wood, but so much more of the former
is required that its cutting involves
more labor. The economy of a wood
shed is apparent, when dried wood
gives off one-third more heat than
wood undried, not to speak of the
bother of burning green wood.-Amer-

Joe Munday Not Dead.

The Tullahoma Guardian states
that ex:Mayor Marshall, of Tullaho-
ma, has received postal card from
R. S. Canady, of Xenia, o., in which
it is stated that there is man lect-
uring there called Joe Munday, who
says that the people of Tullahoma
offered him $4,000 to remain there
and preach. This seems to refer to
the same Joe Munday, who was in
Nashville several years ago, and who
it was reported was murdered in Bal
timore recently.-Nashville Banner.

It May be Valuable.

The following is taken from the
Charlotte, N. c., Journal of June 80,
1915. 1t appeared there under the
head, "Cure for Consumption-Rec-
commended by Robert Blackwood,
living in Orange county, N. c., thir-
teen miles south of Hillsboro and
three and a half west of Chapel Hill,
aged sixty years."
Here is the extract:
In the first place, take quart of
rum of the best quality, and quart
of new clean tar, putting the mixture
in a stone jug that will contain doub-
lie quantity, that it may have room to
boil without bursting; then cork the
jug completely tight, so that the air
cannot pass in or out; then place the
vessel in a pot of water and boil it
briskly for one hour and it will be-
come completely mixed; you may
swing the jug in the pot so as to keep
it upwright. Then let the patient
take a tablespoonful in the morning
and at night before going to bed; if
the patient be very low, take but a
teaspoonful three times day; and as
they gain strength take little more,
till they can bear teaspoOnful twice
a day, say night and morning. If
this does not effect cure, make the
same quantity as before, and that
will be sufficient. The patient should
not drink any kind of spirits what
ever and should be particular in his
diet, avoiding all kinds of gross,
heavy food, such as salt bacon and
the like; also sweet milk; also avoid
getting wet; take very moderate
exercises; live on very light diet such
as rice, soup of fowls, ETC., carefully
avoid drinking heavy drafts of cold
water, drink as little as possible.
The said Robert Blackwood has
proved by experiment that this rem
edy has cured several persons who
were entirely given out by all the
best doctors in this section. / will
mention the case of Mrs. Thompson
near Chapel Hill. She was at the
point Of death, unable to support her
self in her bed, who is now in as good
health as she ever was. Also Mrs
Hatch, still near neighbol, who was
very low with consumption, and il
now in perfect health. In the case O
Mr.. Thompson's wife, DR.. Yancey
considered her incurable and pro
nounced her lost. l feel confiden
that by close application it will cure
ninety-nine in a hundred.
Mr.. Blackwood thus offers the re
ceipt to all who may be disposed t.
make trial of it; and if it should eff
feet a cure, as he has no doubt it will
he only asks in such compensation a
their sense Of justice may dictate,
Papers throughout the United
States will render great service t,
} those who are afflicted with this di
sease, by giving this a publication.

We sometimes wonder if the Unit
ed States will ever elect president
who when he comes to distribute his
patronage will look beyond the spoils-
men for capable men to fill the Offices
at his disposal. Has the man with
that much backbone been born?
Will he ever be born? "What are
we here for if not for the offices?" eX-
claimed a delegate in a national con-
vention. Aye, that is it. Why do
men take up partisan politics if it is
not for the loaves and fishes? Whal
does the quiet, stury, honesty voter get?
Nothing. Office-givers never consid-
er him. 1t is his business to vote;

make lots of fuss, and make believe
you vote lot of fellows for the party,
or come down with the hard cash
for campaign funds. This is your only
way toget it.

THE wholesale grocery merchants
Of Nashville have formed a trust or
combine to force the retail merchants
to buy their goods from them. They
propose to boycott any outside
wholesale house that sells goods to
any retail grocer in Nashville. Of
course there would be no need for
this combine if the grocers would sell
goods to the retail merchants as cheap
as they could buy them in other cities.
But they want the big profit and the
control of the trade. Would it not
be both just and kind for merchants
Of all our smaller towns, who buy
their goods in Nashville to join the
retail merchants in Nashville in
fighting this combine, by refusing to
buy from any Nashville house until
the doors were again thrown open to
free competition.

WE notice that the Evening Her
aid of Nashville is very severe on
Kansas officers for trying to enforce
the prohibition laws of that State.
But it also comes nobly to the defence
of Nashville wholesale grocery mer-
chants in their effort to force the free
retail dealers to buy goods of them
only, or pay them for the privilege
of buying else where. Of course a
man ought to have a right to buy
any thing he wants, that is not
injurious to Others, and ought to have
the right to buy where he pleases,
The effort of Nashville's wholesale
grocers to force custom to their stores,
strikes us as being as bad at least is
the Kansas prohibition law.

Food for Reflection.

Two ladies were the source Of oonsid-
cradle amusement and some annoyance
to half dozen or 80 ladies' and gentle.
men Thursday afternoon at the magazine
desks OF the Institute library. Their loud
chatter, laughter and geaticulasions fAs-
tened tho unwilling ettention of the other
occupants of the DESKS upon them. Sig.
niticant glapcsa OF surprise and perhaps
disgust shot across from ore TO the others
OF the disturbed readers. Bn. the ladies
we're peifsetly oblivious Of the client de-
nunciations Of their neighhors. 1t is be-
Iieyed they were entirely ignorant OF their
committing any breach whatever OF the
denands Of proper behavior. This is the
extenuation that should be mentioned in
their behalf, and was also the cause ct
the amused twinkle In the eyes OF their
victims. At length, after two or three
demonstratiye goodhys, one Of the ladies'
left with heavy armful OF books, and
much weiehtier load of 6enunciatiori, were
she only conscious OF ii, upon her head.
Happily she was not, aud the young lady
bounced out of the library with the
bounce OF girl who had had
delightful time Tbs readers re-
turned to their books. Within five
minutes however stou. heavy gentleman
hustled into the room aai drawing up .
chair close TO that of male friend who
sat coming the newspaper tles com
menced lively conversation. 1t was q
very confidential one also. But the exact
contrast between the manner of the Goa
yersation carrisd on by the two couples
in the public library was this that In the
latter case the gentlemen made every
effort to speak il rs low tone as pos
sible. II was apparent also from the
conscious furtiye manner of carrying on
the Whispered talk that the males knew
they were committing bre.eh Of eti-
quette while tue two young ladies showed
BY their manner a conspicuous innocence

8 O'clock Thursday afternoon. The wind
hlew with terrific force. A gentleman

the force of the wind almost carrying the

ing to the ground the sky bearing

rl,n CORN pnclr of 1sss.

The packing OF sweet corn iu tin has be-
some the most prominent feature of the
canned goods trade. From the annual
statement OF the American Grocer 1t APP
pears that tho total PACK in 1883 was
1891 ,474 CAGES OF two dozen tins each, an
increase over the PACK in 1887 Of ], 100000
cases. This large gain is due TO the multi
plication OF canning houses In the loading
rorn-growlng statee, Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa alone putting up about 600 900 eases,
or nearly one.third OF the supply. Macy
land and Virginia produced 1857 $50 ceses;
the state Of New York, sos. 46S cases;
Maine, 4962 400 CAGES, which was "a, 1863
eases less than were packed IN 1887, the
ehrinkage being due to killing frosts early
IN September. Prices OF canned corn show
great variation, ranging from 80 cents per
dozen for inferior quality TO rs and 30 cents
for good corn, and from $l.l0 to $i.95 for
extra quality. The present euppiy Is far
above the annual requirements OF the
country, out the low price Of the article Is
eau sing great increase In the consnmp-
tion, and sending 1t into thousands OF
places where 1t hes not formerly been an
article OF diet In the economy Of the house,
hold. As one remedy for checking the
tendency to overptoduotion, the American
Grocer urges upon packers a higher
standard at quality. and that less attention
be- paid to quantity.
