Convincing Proof.

In many instances it has been proven
that B. 3. B.. Botanic Blood Balm,
made by Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga,
will cure blood poison in its worse
phases, even when all other treatment
fails.
A. P. Brunson, Atlanta Ga, writes:
II had "a running ulcers on one leg and
on the other, and felt greatly prostrat-
ed. / believe l actually swallowed a
barrel of medicine, in vain efforts to
cure the disease. With little hope l
finally acted on the urgent advice Of a
friend, and got a bottle Of B. B.R. l
experienced change, and my despon-
dency was somewhat dispeaed. kept
using it until l had taken sixteen
bottles, and all the ulcers, rheumatism
and all other horrors Of blood poison
have disappeared, and at last I am
sound and we'll again, after an eXpe-
rience of twenty years of torture"
Robert Ward, Maxcy, Ga, writes:
"My disease was pronounced tertiary
form of blood poison. My face, head
and shoulders were mass OF corrup-
ton, and finally the disease began
eating my skull bones. My bones ached;
my Kidneys were deranged lost flesh

Curiosities Of Marriage.

Goethe said he married to OBJ
tain respectability.
Wycherly, in his old age, mar
ried his servant girl to spite his re-
lations.
Thejoining right hands in ancient
times had the solemnity and
validity of an oath.
Theirs is a story of a man who
got married because he inherited a
four-post bedstead.
Giving a ring is supposed to in
dicate the eternity of the union,
seeing that a circle is endless.
A man got married because he
had bought piece Of silk cheap
at a sale and wanted a wife to give
it to.
Under the Roman empire mar.
riage was a civil contract ; hence
we read of men ''putting away"
their wives.
Among the Jews the rule was for
maiden to marry on the fourth
and widow on the fifth day OF
the week-not earlier.
In Jewish marriages the woman
is set on the right. but through
out Christendom her place in the
ceremony is on the left.
In a Roman marriage the bride
was purchased by the bridegroom's
payment OF three pieces Of copper
money to her parents.
The Russians have a story of a
widow who was so inconsolable for
the loss of her husband that she
took another to keep hey from
fretting to death.
The custom Of putting a vail
upon the maid before the betrothal
was done to conceal her bushes at
the first touch of the mans head
and the closing kiss.
Kissing the bride the moment
the marriage ceremonial ended,
though not now prescribed by the
rubric of the Western churches,
formerly was an imperative act on
the part OF the bridegroom.
The early marriage ceremony
among the Anglo-Saxons consisted
merely of hand fastening, or taking
each other by the hand, and pledg-
ing each other love and affection in
the presence of friends and rela-
tives.
An old adage thus lays down the
proper day for wedlock:
a5Monday for wealth, Tuesday for
health,
"Wednesday for the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses, Friday fer losses,
Saturlay-aorffsaacka at all"

Death Of a Famous Tree, Aged 5000 TO
10000 Years.
GFron the London Globe.

From the London GlOUe.J
With an antiquity rivaling, prob
ably exceeding, that of the pyr;'-
mids of Egypt, and a reputation
scarcely inferior, it is remarkable
how little notice has been taken of
the wealth Of the colossal dragon
tree of Orotava. This gigantic,
hoary-headed vegetable veteran
died almost suddenly a few years
ago, and may be said, like the dea-
cons old masterpiece, to have gone
ITO pieces all at once-all at once
and nothing frst-just as bubbles
do when they burst" After baby
hood of centuries, decades ofmatu-
rity and a decadence of ages, it does
seem pitiable that the departure of
this wonder of the world should
have worked little or no comment.
When Alonzo de LUCE, the con-
queror of Teneritfe, came to Orotava
in 1893 he spared the tree, but,
scandalized at the profane myste-
ries which had taken place in its in
terror, he converted it's hollowness
nto a chapel for holy mass. Hum
boldt, in 1899, gives its height as
appearing about so or 80 feet
and its circumference near the
roots as 45feet and the diameter Of
the trunk at ten feet from the ground
is 12 English feet,'and he compared
its age at 10000 years. The
opening was so large that a table
was placed in it, round which Ii
persons could seat themselves,
and a staircase in the interior con-
Quoted the visitor up to it's height
whence the branches sprang.
Slow indeed must have been its
growth, for 10 years after the visit
of the first navigators L. Dru meas
ured the tree most carefully, prov
ing that during that long period
the increase has only been one foot
at the base, the other dimension
being practically identical. The
old tree moderately credited
with 5000 years Of life, has gone
the way of all trees, but most felicl
tously the Marpuisa del Sanzal has
planted on it's exactsite a seeding
derived from it's most ancient pro-.
genitor, and thisyoungster is now
a. health-plant some four feet high,
looking-in shape only-exactly
life a fine long carrot, lightly
stuck to the ground by it's taper end
and surmounted by a crown of
sword shaped leaves. D.

Character and Reputation.

1t is a poor kind Of morality that
appoves of honesty solely because
it is the best policy. Selfrespect,
an approving conscience, the good
will Of neighbors, which can only
come of honest dealing, are quite
as essential to true happiness as
the acquisition of a fortune. The
merchant or mechanic who estab-
fishes such reputation for fair
dealing that old customers return
to him again and again, and bring
new ones with them; who is so well
trusted that he receives orders to
be filled at his direction, may not
for time make as much as his
tricky competitor, but in the long
run he proves by his prosperity
that honesty is the best policy. He
has, moreover, what the dishonest
man cannot have-a free spirit, a
selfrespecting feeling Of indepen-
dence, that enables him to 60
about with head erect, afraid to meet
no man. The dishonest man may
prosper for a time. but it is only
for a time. The mechanic or mer
chant who founds a business upon
good principles, of which honest
dealing is one, may be slow in
his movement, but he has staying
powers and will reach the end of
his journey before his more active,
but unscrupulous rival who stops
by the wayside for the enjoyment he
cannot find withia himself.
Honesty, however, has broader
meaning than that usually given to
to it. 1t does not relate solely to
money transactions, the charging
of fair prices, the prompt pay
ment ofbills, and the like. Thorough
honesty requires fair dealing in
all respects, the unscrupulous full
fllment of promises, good work,
fair measure, open and above
treatment-everything, in short,
which goes to make up the character
of a business man entitled to the
fullest trust of his customers. The
reputation for such honesty is not
to be gained in "a day, but by
years of upright conduct, and once
fairly gained, it is a mainstay OF
prosperity. 1t is part of the busi'
ness capital which suffers noshrink
age. whatever may be the condi-
ton of the money market. 1t is
an element of true happiness that
may survive the loss Of fortune,
and is, therefore, more to be treas
ured than riches themselves. Yet
this character, this reputation is
within the reach of any man who
determines to be just in his deal
ings. Fortunes come to the few
character, reputation, selfrespect
and the happiness which these
bring with them are to be had,
not without labor it is true, by
any one who strives to lead an
an upright, honorable life. Young
men in particular who are natu- !
rally under the greatest temptation t
to seek easy and treachcrous means :
of advancement, would do well !
to consider these things, and,
while not seeking to be honest
as a mere matter of policy, de-
termine to establish for them
selves a character and reputation
for frmness and uprightness be-
cause such character is essential to
right living and because without
right living there can be no true
happiness or success in this world
or in the would to come.

Buy Mt Home.
I Manufacturers Record. ]

TO support home newspapers,
home manufactures, home indus
tries of all kinds, is duty every
man owes to his neighbors and to
his fellow tax payers. His income
may be small or great and his ex-
penditures in proportion, but when
ever he buys elsewhere what he
can get with equal advantage at
home, he is injuring himself as
we'll as his fellow-citizens. If our
readers everywhere will look about
them they will soon discover that
they can find in their own town,
county or State many things that
they have been accustomed to get
from distant places. This is par
ticularly true Of those manufac-
tured goods OF which the South
is heavy purchaser. Formerly
nearly every tool, machine, house
hold article and garment material
used in the South was made at the
North or in Europe. It was a
necessity then, but it need not be
in the future. Every day new in
dastries are started, and estab-
lished ones are enlarged. The South
has ceased to be absolutely de-
pendent on other sections and can
make itself independent if it's peo-
pie will that it shall be. The first
move in this direction must be
the encouragement Of home indus
tries. Buy all you need Of the
quality you require at the nearest
home point. DO not send North
for anything you can get at the
same price and of the same quail
ity of some one near by. Enter
prise in any community rebounds
to it's advantage even when sin
Gle individual or firm is the imme-
diate gamer.
One thing the Sonth greatly lacks
is ready money. There is great
wealth OF lands, buildings, mer.
chandise and crops, but compare
tive little of cash or its equivalent.
Every dollar expended in it adds
to the circulation and by so much
reduces interest rates. Every dol
lar unnecessarily sent away has
precisely the opposite effect. When
a Southerner buys a hoe, steam
engine, set of furniture, or any
other thing that is made at the
South from Northern manufacturers
or their agents, he is by Just so
much helping to keep his section
at the mercy of the ''money lords"
of the North, while every man who
buys whatever the South produces
that he needs is by little or by much
assisting his section to attain 66nan'
cial independence.
Political economy, like charity,
must begin at home il: the South
would atttain the full measures Of
that wealth and that conseqent f.
nancial independence for which God
has given her the foundation, in
bounteous natural resources, but,
in the practice Of that economy, her
people must learn to buy at home
all her domestic products they need,
and to purchase elsewhere nothing
that she supplies.

Things Worth Knowing.
TWomen's (Ill.) World. J


If the children's flannel dresses
are all greasy add borax to the
water in which you wash them.
Dissolve large tablespoonful Of
borax in a pint of boiling water !;
put about a third oft in the first
suds in which the garment is to be
washed iyou should never rub soap
directly on wollen), another third
in the next water shake the gar
ments thoroughly before hanging
them up to dry.
After the dust has been we'll
beaten out of the carpets and they
are put down again they can be
very much freshened by sprinkling
cornmeal mixed with coarse salt
over them and the sweeping it all
off again.
The best way to clean out lead
pipes, without the expensive
aidof a plumber to pour a strong
solution of concentrated lye down
them. The lye will dissolve hair,
indeed ali animal and most vege-
table matter and so open the pipes.
About as good way as any to
clean black silk is to take ammonia
and alcohol-one part ammonia to
three of alcohol-add half as much
hot water, and, laying the silk
over an old sheet folded in four
thicknesses, rub with a black rag or
q sponge dipped in the mixture.
Have ready some old broom handles,
curtain poles or other round smooth
sticks and wrap the silk on them
as tightly and smoothly as possible.
Let it dry in this position it will
need no ironing.
To clean straw mattings wash
them with salt water, but not

The Farmers Opportunity.
rManufactorers' Racord:1

Manufacturers Record.1
There are innumerable ways IN
which the farmers Of the South,
and especially those living near
large and busy cities, can make
themselves Independent, just as
there are ways in which man IN
BUSINESSMAN make himself lnde-
1t is not the farmer
owning the best land who makes
the most money any more than 1t Is
the business man who has the finest
store or factory who succeeds best.
In each case success comes to him
!. who strikes popular chord and
eeps himselfin tune Uoit.
In every city are people who
are notional in some direction or
other, who are willing to pay hb-
orally for the sake Of getting their
notions. What the farmer should
do is to study and analyze these
notions. A few years ago young
man just graduated from a.well-
known college found himself much
broken in health, without business,
and with only $4,000 or so from
recent legacy. His only alterna-
tive seemed to be to buy farm. AS
soon as he was settled on his land,
he began, with his other work. the
careful rearing of pigs.--He kept
them in clean pens, fed them on
selected food, and soon had fine
selection of porkers. Some thirty
miles off was a large city. By
careful enquiry he learned of sew
eral persons in that city who were
fond of pork, yet who were afraid
of the stuff usually sold in the
public market. The young farmer
promptly struck d bargain with
these people to supply them with
fresh and salt pork, sauSages and
lard at very remunerative prices.
These customers soon brought more,
and aS husiness increased. the far
mer enlarged his facilities and
added to his other products the
choicest butter that hands could
make.
This young man, almost an in
valid and with scarcely money
enough to buy a poor farm, now
has an annual income of $500 or
more, not because his farm is such a
fine. one, or because he is skilled
agrieuIturist, but because he hunt
ed up those people who had weak
nesses for the very best pork and
the choicest of butterSsEaae> tickled
their palates WITH Just what they
yspse
Throughout the South are many
farmers who have every advantage
that this young man had, and who
can, by a little expenditure of ener-
gy, line their pockets with gold
by working some notion for all
there is in it. They make the
choicest of butter, fatten the incest
pork, raise the most luscious fruit,
or possibly raise and cure tea equal
to the best Chinese article. It
makes but little difference what
they do as long as they are al
ways sure that the quality Of their
product is the very best, and that
they use the same skill and acute
ness to find customers for their
products that a store-keeper or any
other commercial man would. The
trouble with farmers, as a class is
that they forget that it takes almost
as much skill to sell a crop as it
does to raise it.
