THE FOLLY OF WORRY.
Grasp the World by the Hand and Grow
Old Gracefully

Grasp the World by the Hand and Grow
Old Gracefully.
1t is not work that kills, but worry, truth
fully observes the Albany IN. " Journal.
1t is not the revolution that destroys the
machinery, but the friction. Work is good
for the soul, good for the body and good for
the mind If you want q good appetite,
don't worry. If you want healthy body,
do not worry. If you want to stand well
with yourself and the world, and want
things to 60 right in your home and your
business, do not worry. II you want to
size up to one hundred cents on the dollar,
do not worry.
The faculty of looking on the bright side
of life and making the best Of things is a
fortune to any one. Fretting only deranges
one's temper, excites unpleasant feelings
toward every body and confuses the mind
II things go wrong one day there will be
opportunities TO right them on the days
coming; and it is a good plan to just let
things take their course and not get dis
courageI.
Women have sea Of trouble over their
housekeeping, and they allow the merest
trihes to harass them into ill-temper and
nervousness, which is the bane of the
American woman. Dirt and disorder in the
household are the cause Of the most nerv-
BUSINESS. The housewife hates dirt, and be-
gins new campaign against it every morn
ing and hunts it down wherever it hides
Itself. This would be healthy exercise if
she would not worry, but worry is worse
than dirt and disorder They had better
live ankle-deep in dirt, take things as they
come and be- contented than live in grandeur
ind worry.
This life is just what one makes it. If we
worry through the world it stings us. II we
grasp it by the hand and get hold of some
of the sunshine that brightens it, it will be
the best friend one can have. Do not
worry. Do not get discouraged. The world
is full of human sympathy. II you lose
your way or fall down, large portion OF
the human family will be ready to pick you
up and show you the way if they know OF
your need. Cultivate a spirit of patience.
Cultivate habit of getting all the enjoy.
ment that your circumstances will permit
Cultivate CHEEKY disposition that will dis
pei worry as the sun dispels the dew
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles
you, and you will find that life is worth liv.
ing and that this world is not so bad place
after all.
Behind the cloud the starlight turks;
Through showers the sun beams fall;
For God, who loveth all His works,
Hat left His hope with all.

SLAVES IN ZANZIBAR
seven-Eighths of the Empires Population
Owned by Arabs.

seven-Eighths of the Empires Population
Owned by Arabs.
10 give an idea of the importance Of
the slave question to the people here.
1t is only necessary to mention the fact
that not less than seven-eighths of the
population are slaves. Some Arabs
have as many as 1000, and the number
OF those who count them by hundreds
is not small. The less wealthy resi-
dents find the best possible employ!
mont for their capital is to buy slaves.
whose services they let out on hire to
the Europeans for high wages. A
small negro boy, whose average price
would be $40 can earn 20 pesas day.
Europeans, in whose employment these
negroes are, often have not the least
suspicion that they carry the lions
share of their wages to their Arab
masters. The blockade has not been
successful in preventing the trade in
which every one on this coast, at least
every Arab, takes part. Although the
selling Of slaves in the open market
has not been tolerated since 1873, it
still takes place in closed rooms
Europeans being excluded there
FROM, and is perfectly legal. 1t may
seem strange that negro laborers can
not be transported by sea, which is
allowed in the case OF women
and domestic slaves. In spite
of the constantly increasing price
of slaves in East Africa. donkeys
are still dearer than men. A strong
workman or porter costs on the aver
age from 500 to 1920 Gels to f18).
The Surias for the harem are natur-
ally the most costly human merchan-
disc, each well-to-do Arab having
three, four, five or even six. Pretty
young negresses are always in demand
and usually fetch from $50 to $50,
while Abyssinian women bring as
much as from 5000 to $500. Those
who wish to possess such Injuries as
women from Jeddah, in Arabia, have
to pay fancy prices. 1t needs no long
stay in this country to become con-
WINGED that, however horrible the
hunting of slaves may be, the present
form of slavery in Africa is not SO very
much worse than the political slavery
OF some of the working classes in Eu-
rope, indeed, in many respects the
work exacted from the slaves is light
err. The slaves in Zanzibar do not
live in separate villages as in the
Cameroons, but master and slaves
form one household. Before most Of
the houses one sees a lazy, laughing
crowd of tinely-molded negresses; they
are the house slaves, whose lot is not
by any means very hard Although
the Arab recognizes in the European 6
superior, the negro very often has
more respect for the dignified Arab
who, although he eats in common with
his slaves-perhaps would even play
cards with them-still remains Away
a born aristocrat. Cor. London Daily

Kerosene, applied as spray, on the

while the work can also be done in a

The cellar should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected now. The air
should be allowed to circulate freely,
and busting of freshly-slaked lime

Where bed OF lettuce plants have
gone to seed, only one plant need be
saved, as it will furnish sufficient seed
for next season. The surplus plants
may be fed to poultry as green food.

1t is suggested that in those Sec

be operated on the cooperative plan,
as is done by dairymen with cream

thoroughly dry on the stalk, and
when harvested it should be stored in
a dry, warm place.
The majority OF insects are vege-

injurious forms.

The Indians, however, on the arrival

The Best Breed of Fowls for the
Farmer.

The question of the best breed of
fowls to be kept by the ordinary farm
or, who does not intend tUkeep them
for exhibition purposes or for the sup
ply of pure-bred fancy stock, is one
deserving of careful consideration.
Most farmers are content to leave the
kind, quality and quantity of the poul-
try to be kept on the farm to chance,
and. as result, the consequence is g
mongrel lot of birds, neither useful or
ornamental; and the financial results
are no better.
This is not as it should be, for. right
ly managed and cared for, there is in
the poultry a very substantial item of
profit, and one which. with very
little care and attention, can be
very greatly increased. The neces-
sity for this attention is strongly
shown in the fact that this country,
which might well supply the world
with eggs and poultry, is actually at
the present time importing large
quantities of eggs and poultry from
countries not half so well fitted by
nature to produce them as is this coun-
try, aud yet they are there produced
in quantities not only sufficient to
satisfy their own requirements, but
also to leave a surplus for expectation.
This will continue to be the case, and
the Importation will grow larger unless
farmers give attention to the breeding
of better stock.
The same principles should gov.
ern the production of poultry as the
production OF horses. cattle. sheer
and pigs-that is to say, get rid o
the scrubs and mongrels. and breed
good slock. 1t costs no more to feeS
ane than the other. The only differ
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1889-09-26

ence is, that the good-bred stock re.
quire care and attention. but they am
ply repay this, while nothing can
make poor bred mongrels profitable
The requisites in breed OF fowls for
the farm are, first, egg producing ca
pacity; next, quick maturity of the
young fowls; and lastly, ability to with
stand the climate with reasonably good
care and moderate keep. We have
had experience with many breeds of
fowls. and, in our judgment. no one
breed combines so many OF the good
qualities we have named as the
Plymouth Rocks. They are large
fowls, but yet not too unwieldly to
ramble about and scratch for great
part of their food on the farm. They
produce large quantity OF fine eggs,
as they lay early and late, and they
are good mothers, and can be relied
upon to bring off two or three broods
in the season. The young chicks are
strong and hardy, and quickly reach
maturity; and as they are good size,
they always command fair price in
the market-whether as broilers or
roasters. They seem to readily adapt
themselves to changes of climate,
and in the Southern States make
themselves perfectly happy and con-
tented. The frosts seldom trouble
them as they have only small combs
which are not so susceptible to be
frozen as those OF some other breeds.
Although large fowls, they are not
large eaters, but will be content with
a small feed OF grain, and then ram
BILE off in search of insects and seed.
Another quality they possess, is, that
they are generally content to lay some
where about where they are desired
and do not ramble off into the woods
and lay their eggs where they can mo-
be found. All things considered, w
are of the opinion that the farmer who
commences to keep a flock OF Plymouth
Rocks will not have cause to regr6t i
at the years end. Southern Planter

BADLY DRAINED SOIL.
An Illustration Of the Effects of Water ON
Growing Plants.

An Illustration of the Effects Of Water ON
Growing Plants.
Probably no better illustration can
be given of the effects OF water on
growing plants than what we see in
the case OF plants growing in pots.
Every pot is provided with a hole in
the bottom to allow the water to
drain out when the soil becomes
saturated, and. with the exception OF
water or bog plants, this drainage Is
a necessity. 1t we see plant whose
foliage turns yellow, or drops OIL, or
which fails to grow, and whose whole
appearance is unthrifty, we are al
most sure to find the trouble to be at
the roots, and not unfrequently we
find the drainage is clogged and the
roots are inactive. Turning the plant
out of the pot, placing some bits OF
broken crockery at the bottom, and
then some coarse material. the plant
is returned to its place and filled in
with fresh soil, and in a short time it
starts into new growth and shows that
i, can grow If the conditions are suit
able. Without healthy roots there
can be no vigorous growth. A supply
Of water is necessary for the roots to
take from the soil what they want,
hut the water must pass off and not
remain stagnant, or disease and death
will follow. The case is exactly the
same with plants growing in fields
where there is an excess OF moisture
below tho surface.
