Though they are thickly settled and

WALHALLA, S. c., November 25, 1889.
-Walhalla is the County scat of
Geo. ee county and is therefore a
fair criterion of a Southern town
where the people for radius of
twenty miles are seen daily on the
main street. This is the railroad
centre of quite n large area and the
only accessible railway station for
thirty miles for the country North
west of this point. 1t is therefore
the market town, and while cvory
day brings more or less to town, Sat
urday is the principal day for the
mountaincers, as they are termed, to
drive into Walhalla. Everything
that can be used as a beast of burden
is pressed into service. Mules arc
very common, although they really
have some fine horses in this country.

hand in establishing himself in this
favored community. The people are
religiously inclined more as rule,
think, than at the North, and their
religion partakes largely of the
primitive and old fashioned religion
OF fifty years ago, and as a conse-
quence believers in universal saliva

The Oconee county Circuit Court
was i'll session last week and I at
tended it. The presiding Judge, a
dignified old gentleman. known as
Judge Frasicr, donned the old fash.
ioned black robe on ascending the
bench, and the cricr went out on the
court house steps and gave notice of
the opening of court, in voice that
could be heard three blocks off, and
later when witnesses were backward
in presenting themselves, he scaled
them" in the same stentorian voice.
One name that caused a smile, was
"Mlack Mucklevcne," who failed to
respond at the first call, and thought
that in all probability he had gonc
to Columbia with Mary Muchaplcasc,
one of the defendants, to be on hand
at the opening of the Legislature
and have their names changed. But
the next day when he showed his
smiling black face OH the witness
stand, | concluded that he did not
care whether his name was Mack
Aiuck1cvcnc or Muck Macklevcnc. !
The majority of the cases presented
to the court were the outgrowth Of
drunken negro scrapcs and fights i.
One darkcy was stabbed aua cut up
badly by another "bad nigger," who
only had one arm, and some of the
testimony was laughablc. In a answer
to one question the bandagcd up
darkcy shook his head and said, "No
SIT rec Bob" to emphasize his state
ment. 1t appeared that the other
,as.sa.e -; ! -
carried off his razor and pistol, s'alsz U
when asked if he had recoycre,>
them, said ...No, and | want 'em too"
A colored girl describing q fracas
she had witnessed, said "the defcn-
dant had cut stick and walked up
to another and struck him with it,
and when asked what kind of wood
it was replied, 81 don't know what
kind of wood it was, but it was oak"
This caused smile on the grave
facc'of the judge. Later on tho same
witness told of the cutting affair
that followed and said she was on
the highway, about twenty yards
ahead of the others, and ''just walk
ing along" and when asked how she
could see all this that occurred back
of her, and asked if people did not
generally look ahead of them, she
non-plussed the lawyer by saying
that "cycs were given to look where
you mind ter" and all this without
n sign Of lcvity on her much in
earnest face.

Faults Of Many Mothers,

American women of all classes are.
as rule, sinfully negligent of some of
the duties which pertain to health,
especially exercise in the open air.
The excuse that their many cares en-
gross them, and that they, in conse-
quence, have but little opportunity for
leaving their homes, is scarcely suffi-
cient. The number who actually can
not enjoy, each day, an hours outing,
must be small indeed, even among the
class forced to work the hardest. Not
only do many women fail in this re-
spect in their duty to themselves, but
their young children suffer in conse-
quence of the same neglect. From one
weeks end to another, during the
winter, not few of them keep their
little ones in overheated rooms, if not
huddled around the kitchen stove, and
the result is we find them, as spring
approaches. weak, puny and ailing.
In such families colds. coughs, sore
Threats and the like are common affec-
tions. There is scarcely day during
the coolest season when even the baby
can not be safely taken out of doors.
Mothers should understand that upon
the daily enjoyment of fresh and open
air depends. in great degree, the
health of their little ones. as well as
themselves; it is, in fact. absolutely in
dispensable to the well-being of all

FIRING GREAT GUNS.
Some of the Advantages of Doing It
.f<,f&

Some of the Advantages of Doing it by
Electricity.
On some of the larger European
ships-of-war, and on a few United
States vessels, arrangements have
been made for firing the guns by
electricity. This is usually accom-
plished by causing the current from an
ordinary zinc-carbon battery to pass
through what is known as an electric
primer, inserted in the vent of the
gun. The primer, as used in the
United States service, is simply quill
tube nearly filled with small-grained
powder, and containing fine plat
mum wire wrapped in a wisp of gun
cotton. The platinum wire is con-
nected with the wires of the electric
battery. When the battery circuit is
closed the platinum becomes instantly
white-hot thus igniting the primer
and firing the gun. The firing key with
which the circuit may be closed al
pleasure, is placed in the pilot tower orin
some other position where it is directly
under the control of the commanding
officer, and the circuit is of course kept
open until the instant of firing. The
advantages claimed for such system
are many. Obviously, under some CIR
cumstances, as. for example. whore II

BRlNE.SALTING BUTTER.


tsfa ctiOn to Consumers
The demand for less salt in butter
has called attention anew to brine
sailing. and think that whenever the
maker has mastered the method this
brine-salted butter has given best sat.
isfactiOn to consumers. 1t has been
wrongly supposed that salt used for
sailing butter strikes into the fats
themselves, and pickles them, as we
assume it does in the case of meat. But
all that is accomplished is to substitute
for the water left in the butter, usually
from ten to fifteen per cent, a saturated
brine. or water containing all the salt
it can hold in solution at ordinary
temperatures. At the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station it was found that
butter fats can not be made to absorb
salt or brine; the particles of fat are
only surrounded by this solution. All
the salt that will be dissolved in a
pound of butter by it's own moisture
amounts to little, if any, over half an
ounce; hence of an ounce of salt in a
pound of butter large part is simply
undissolved salt. 1t was shown, fur
Their, that the finer the granulation of
the butter, and the longer the butter
stands in the brine, the more of the
solution it will take up; the more brine
the butter contains the more of the
Gaseous or cheesey matter is removed,
or in some other way rendered harm
less, and the longer the butter will
keep.
But if the grain is made too fine an
undue amount of water is left in the
butter, which washing will not remove.
On the other hand. if the grains are
left too large, they inclose more of the
Gaseous matter that will not be taken
out. since the brine can not penetrate
into these larger masses of fat. Gath
ering the butter into granules the size
of small bird-shot is about the best one
can do to avoid the undesirable ex-
tremes above mentioned. Brine-salt-
ing can be most perfectly done by

after the last washing. then adding a
strong brine. enough to cover the but
ter-rot to float it. Such granulated
butter will contain IS per cent of it's
weight of wash-water, which, of course.
weakens the added brine by that much.
If, after standing in this solution for q
few moments, this brine is mostly re.
moved and salt added to reinforce it,
strength, and it is then poured back
and the churn slowly revolved, the but.
ter will be sailed as much as is posi-
BILE by any process of sailing if all the
salt is to be dissolved; and this is all
the salt that can answer to preserve
the Gaseous matter and keep the sugar
from fermenting. Possibly, beyond
this. more salt may act for a few days
as an antiseptic, but not long, unless
the butter is placed in cold storage.

Raw Onions as u Specific for Malaria and
Kindred Diseases.
One day was taken with chills and
headache, signs that my old enemy,
malaria, was on hand. My quinine box
was empty. and was looking forward
to restless. sleepless night. In des,
peration peeled a raw onion and slow.
ly ate it. and then went to bed, with
warm feet and an extra comforter.
when, presto! 1 was asleep in five min
utes, and awaked 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
II agriculturists would turn their atten-
ton to raising a 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 farming. The onion acts as a
cathartic and diuretic, and NAV help
to break up a cold or lessen the bad
symptoms. Said doctor: II always
store barrel of onions in nv cellar
during the fall. We have them cooked
twice q week. and whoever of the fam
Ivy Is threatened with cold eats some
onion raw. If this vegetable were gen.
orally eaten. there would be no diph-
+herla. rheumatism, govt, kidney or
stomach trouble.
but bless you! the young men and
women are afraid to eat them. One
young man went SO far as to say to me:
III my wife ate onions 1 would get
Dill OF divorce. "-American Garden.
