Mrs Spencer brings into the clear
light of day, the mastery policy Of
peace as elaborated by Gov. Gra-
ham; she shows clearly the peace
policy of Gov. Holden, and the diff
ference between them, matters Of
historical Importance that Moore
finds no time to record. Her treat
ment of the period of the civil war
is admirable, and does justice to
North Carolina and puts her in her
true position one that she need not
be ashamed Of; and Mrs. Spencer is
the first to place the people Of the
State just where impartial history
must always put them.
Having said this much in praise,
We wish we had nothing to criticise.
Reconstruction hinged upon the
question whether the power to re-
construct was vested in the Nation
Ill Legisture or in the National
Executive. Was it a Legislative or
executive function? 1t was decided
to belong to the legislative, and
Congress performed the duty, and
President Johnson's attempted re-
constructions were, therefore, nuIli-
tries. We think the decision pro-
per. This explains many things
left unsatisfactory about members
not beng allowed seats in Congress.
Chapters IS, 39,and 40 ought not
to be in the book. The time has
not yet come to write the history Of
Gov. Holden's administration. his
contest with the hu hIux Khan, and
his impeachment and removal from
Office. 1t is very evident that in
these chapters, Mrs. Spencer has
too much feeling over such recent
affairs to write calmnly and dispas-
sionaltely. There is always the
9th, r side. and that other side In
this case, has not vet been heard.
She ought to have stated the sim
pie facts without commeat or draw
ing any differences. Writing his
tory Is a Judicial business, and all
the facts on both siies should come
out tetore an opinion il formed.
We hope the charming little book
will 20 iato every school. and into
every family. Its beau, lies are many,
very many, its faults are very few,
fewer than ever happens to the first
EDITION Of any book.
Times are hard here indeed. No

a HAPPY HOME.

Many a child goes astray simply because
home lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles. as much as flowers need sunshine.
II home is the plac. where faces are sour
and words harsh, and fault-fnding is ever
going on. they will spend as many hoars
as possible elsewhere. Let every father
and mother. then, try 70 be happy. Let
them look happy. Let them talk to their
children, especially the little ones, IN sucha
way as to make them happy.
Keep the children's sympxthies. for By
so doing, half the danger of their going
astray is averted. No is SO sensitive
over a slight as a child; and if her sorrows
are made light of at home, she will be more
than likely TO turn to others TO find sympa-
thy, and will often find it in society she
would otherwise shun. No sympathy
is so dear as q mothers; aud a child who
has always been encouraged to tell all her
troubles to her mother, knows that she will
find a patient and loving bearer and eoun-
s%ellor, and viii not be apt in her youth
the time when she most needs counsel and
advice-to do anything that she cannot tell
her mother about. The grown-up woman,
with q family Of her own, counts, as one
Of her sweetest blessings. the tender affec-
ton Of her own mother.
Mothers are apt. as the family increases,
to Internationally omit many of the little
sympathies and tokens of love which had
hitherto been layished on the older child
ren,.bus are now transferred to the new ar
rival. Or, perhaps, as the cares of the FAM
lily grow heavier, the mother has so many
calls upon her time, that she canine stop
for the fondling that oncs was her pleasure.
But surely there is time every day for some
word Of love or sympathy; and this one lit
tie word spoken in the morning, ofttimes
cheers and helps the recipient all through
the day. The idea, too, that the children,
as they grow older and are more away from
home, do not care for these attentions, is
wholly at fault. for no true child ever
grows too old for love or sympathy.-SeL.

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suffer
ing from fever restrict their diet. keep
quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink water,
and sometimes plunge into it. When a dog
has lost his appetite he eats that species Of
grass known as dog grass, which acts as
an emetic and purgative. Cats also eat
grass. Sheep and COWS, when Ill, also
seek out certain herbs. An animal suffer-
ing from chronic rheumatism always keeps,
as far as possible, in the sun. The warrior

Latrelle cut the attenu@ of an ant, and
other ants came and covered the wounded

A terrier hurt its right eye; it remained

A WORD FOR THE TON-Boy.

The tom-boy is sometimes an eager, earn
est, impulsive, glad-hearted, whole-souled
specimen of genus feminine. If her laugh
is too frequent and her tone a trifle too
emphatic, we are willing to overlook these
for the sake of the true life and exulting
vitality Of which they are the expression
and, indeed, we rather like the high-pres-
sure nature which must close off its super
huous jollity in such ebullitions. The
glancing eye, the glowing cheek, the fresh,
balmy breath, the 1.-THE, graceful play of
the limbs, tell a tale of healthy and vigor-
Gus Acknowledgements which is natures
best beauty.
The soul and the mind viii be developed
also in due time, and we shall have before
us a woman in the highest sense of the
term. When the tom-boy has sprung up
to a healthful and vigorous ~womanhood,
she will be ready to take hold of the duties
of life, to become 4 worker in the great
system of humanity. She will not sit down
to sigh over the work given TO her, but she
will ever be ready to take up her burden OF
duty.
la her track there will be sound philoso-
ply, in her thoughts boldness and orig
inality, in her heart heavens purity. and
the worri will be better that she lived in
it. To her allotted task she will bring
health, vigor, energy and spirits, these
will give both the power and the eudur-
ance without which her life must be, in
some respects, at least, a dreary failure

According to q report from the Depart
meut of Agriculture most crops grown the
past year were abundant. There has been
an increase Of corn and cats, and the ag-
gregate crop is larger than ever before re-
corded, amounting to 8, 200, 600, 900 bush
els. The crop Of potatoes was also very
large, being 200, 600. 600 bushels. Sweet
potatoes were also coed, probably exceed
ing 10. coo, 900 bushels. TIE season was
not favorable for cane sugar. The cotton
crop vas medium, with increased area.
Fruits were abundant and cheap. The
wool clip was somewhat reduced, being
estimated at 2G9, GOO. 600 pounds. Al the
close Of the season wheat was abundant
aud cheap at wholesale, the dealers reap
ing a large profit. On the whole, the year
1888 was prosperous one.
Considering that the weather was I'M
propitious during much Of the year-and
notably unfavorsble in the spring, shat
season being remarkably cold and back
ward-the above condensed report is very
satisfactory. II shows, at least, that the
chronic croakers who prophesied crop
failure and famine, were far from being
correct in their lugubrious calculations
and lamentations.

Exposition buildings in Philadelphia was
pushed on all through what are usually
the coolest months, though they were then
very like what we rave had this year. II

THE FIRST STEPS IN GAMBLING.

Boys gambling on the streets Of New
York is not an sight. They do
it by throwing dice on the sidewalk. Thus
a days earnings will sometimes vanish
away in an incredibly short space of
time. Yet this is only a step from play
ing marbles "for fair" 1t is confessed
with shame that when the writer was a
small boy at school he lost and won in this
way many pocketfuls of marbles of all
kinds, from ''migs'' to ''reals." We pause
with horror at the thought of where that
seemingly innocent habit might have
brought him but for the restraining
influence of a Christian home. Some may
think a boy perfectly safe SO long as he
confines his gambling to marbles. But the
first step has been taken and the first step
is never as easy as any subsequent one.
The boy who sees this, and fails to check at
once any gambling spirit which he may
have, is to be compared with a boatman
who lets his boat drift on towards the falls
of Niagara, though he knows that every
moment OF i~naction increases his danger
and makes it harder for him to return.
Many a ruined man, deprived Of his honor
and virtue, can look back to the time when
his innoeency was first assaiIed by a gam
bling game of marbles. Either make up
your mind to stop gambling, or to go on
on over the falls, and, as your helpless
soul, falling upon to rocks perdition,
with horror and fear, it may be
some consolation to remember that you
won a ~half-dozen marbles in the early part
ofthe year 1889.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox says that if she

children. No matter what be has not done
in the way of achieving wealth or honors,
if be has done tina he is a grand success.
If he has not done that, and it is his own
fault. though he be the highest in the land,

there is no fortune which can be left for

Preparations being Made to Observe tho
Food-Adulteration Bill.
Some Important changes in the State
capitol building, consequent upon the en-
torcement OF the new food-adulteration
law, We're recently begun. The three small
rooms in the basement of the capitol build
ng now occupied by the State Grain De-
partment are to be fitted up for a chemical
laboratory. The grain department will be
removed to the rooms now occupied rs a
janitOr>s room, and the closets adjoining,
the necessary alterations being made. Thu
Standardization law, which goes into eff
feet August l, pays special attention to de-
tecting adultsraUons in baking powders,
sugars and sirups, v%inegars, lard and spirit
uous and malt liquors. To revent the adult
teration OF the goodsa large number OF ex.
aminarions will be required, ana a complete
analytical laboratory purchased. The force
of chemists will also be increased. The
present chemist, W. s. Eberman, will be
chief of the division, and will probably have
two assistants, rs he will carry on the pres
ent work OF milk, BUTTE" and cheese analy-
sis in connection with his other duties. Mr..
Eberman has gone East ca a tour OF inspec-
ton of the food adulteration departments
in other States, and in New York will pur-
chase a complete outfit for tie new chem
ical laboratory. Both the apparatus and
the chemicals required in the work OF
analysis are costly. and the first cost OF get
ting the law in working order will be con-
siderable, but it is expected that the saving
to the people of the State will make the law
q paying investment in q very short time.

GARDEN
A System of Irrigation That Insures Fine
and Profitable Crops.

A System of Irrigation That Insures Fine
and Profitable Crops.
To irrigate all kinds of garden vege-
tables, construct Il lateral, or sub
ditch, to run GRO the head Of the
garden in order to easily turn the
water into each ROY Run a shallow
ditch or furrow between each row to
keep the water from flooding the sur
face and coming direct in contact with
the growing plants. Turn into a few
rows sufficient water to fairly fill the
furrow, allowing the water to run un
til the soil is saturated nearly up to the
row. Then shut off the water and
turn it in two other rows until the
whole plant is irrigated, provided that
all the different vegetables need water
at the same time. When Gu
cumbers or melons are plant
eel, run the irrigating furrow
each side and close to each
row. These burrows should not be
disturbed in cultivating, but left t O be
used after the vines have grown too
large to cultivate. No exact instruc-
tions can be given us to the time of
watering; the operator must use his
Judgment and apply the water at such
times and in sufficient quantity to keep
the different kinds of vegetables in a
thrifty, growing. condition. always
bearing in mind that too much water
is fatal to success. One of the most
important factors in irrigating hoed
crops successfully is to stir the surface
soil just as soon after irrigating as the
ground can be readily worked. This
leaves the surface in a fine filth and
prevents the ground from baking, or
crusting.
If one wishes to excel in raising fine
vegetables and melons, the plan to pur-
sue is to make the lateral at the head
of the garden six feet wide with strong
banks. and a dam across the lower end.
Fill this ditch half full of fresh or
well-rotted manure, and with water as
full al the banks will hold and allow it
to soak n hour; then turn on a head
Of water and irrigate with the liquid
manure, stirring the manure in the
ditch occasionally. to secure its full
strength. If you want fine vegetables,
big melons and splendid straw berries,
try this plan.~-H. Stratton, in Farm
and Home.
