About Ventilation.

1t seems like heresy to talk to the en-
lightened people Of this age of ventila-
ton and hygiene in their relation to
sleep, but still it isn't SO very long since
an entire family who were i'll recovered
because some, one was careless enough to
break window pane out and every one
was too i'll to replace it. Not SO very
long, either, since-a physician hung a
canary's cage beneath the canopy of one
of our handsomely cuTtained beds where
two people were sleeping, and took it's
lifeless little body from the cage the
next morning. A word to the wise is
sufficient, and every one knows that a
closed window, heavy carpets, stuffy
curtains, fluids, vegetable life and food
of any kind in any sleeping apartments
are not conducive to healthful, refresh
ing sleep.-Toronto Empire.

alcohol. Shake the cloroform with a

To the chloroform thus saturated with

and carbon disulphide dissolve little

Bengal green or cblorophyl from fresh

Now pour these various colored fluids
into clear flint glass bottle or other
similar container just large enough to
hold them all, beginning with the chic
reform and following with each in sue
c6ssion down to the alcohol. They should
all be added carefully down the side Of
the container and without agitation, and,
lastly, enough more alcohol should be
added to completely fill the container

Fishes That Make a Noise,


The black drum is one of our largest
game fishes, most abundant in the south
ern states, but occurring along the Jer-
Soy coast, and often found in the waters
Of Staten Island.
The drum belongs to the family of the
ScienidR, which, owing to the peculiar
structure Of the air bladder, possess the
power of uttering sounds to greater or
less degree. Other members of the fami-
ly, such as the weakfsh, croaker and
roncador, make a grunting sound when
boated although old fishermen claim to
be able to detect the presence of large
school OF weakfish by the noise made by
them while feeding as the boat passes
over them; but the sound Of the drum
is the loudest, and can be very distinctly
heard at distance The oroak Of the
ubiquitous sea robin, which does not,
however, belong to this family, is fa-
miliar to ali who have ever wet line in
the bay.
During the breeding season of the
drum this noise is more pronounced than
at any other time, the males calling to
the females, who respond in lower tones;
and at night, while feeding on the oyster
and mussel beds, which provide their
principal food, the fish seem to grunt
their satisfaction with the repast.-Cor.

WATCH-KEN!
A TRUE STORY
OF TIE
GREAT RICHMOND TRAGEDY.
4 WATCH-KEN!
a NOVEL, by KERR.

About a month ago review of ~ Watch
Key appeared in these columns, but for rea-
sons that are good, but not necessary to be
mentioned, the authors name was withheld
from the public. As the Dispatch is thetirst
newspaper that reviewed the book, it is graft
flying to note that other reviews that have ap-
pearcd later, have agreed with the views It
expressed. 1t is with no less pride than pleas
ure that the Dispatch now announces that the
author is none other than Mrs. NJ. III. PinniX,
of Lexington the wife of one of our most dis
tinguShed and popular citizens. During the
past few years Mrs. PinniX has devoted much
of her time to literary pursuits; but until re-
Gently she has resisted numberleSs lmpOrtun-
ate requests to allow any of her writings to
appear in print. \ few months ago she con-
scnted to placing A Natch-key' in the hands
of Il printer. The result is most crafty ying.
The book has been on the market but few
weeks, but it has already met with large sale.
The author will doubtless take rank among the
most popular of Southern writers. The plot
is well laid and the story is intensely interest
ing. The leading characters are depicted in
clear cut lines, and are made so true to human
nature that they seem almost like familiar
aCquaintanceS. The author shows deep in
sight into human nature. Her portrayal of the
thoughts. the cares and SORROWS of a wife and
mother is particularly fnc.-Davidson Dis

KISSING THE ROD.

Oh, heart Of mine, we shouldn't
Worry SOL
What we've missed Of calm we couldn't
Have, you know
What we've met OF stormy pain,
And Of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alone
Were not shine and shadow blent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With his own
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad

Increased Acreage and the Crop in Good
Condition.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The statistical
returns for June 10 the department of
agriculture show an increase of acreage
in cotton in nearly ever state. The area,
as compared with acreage Of 1889, is re-
ported in this preliminary investigation
as follows:
Virginia, 9S; North Carolina, 1O2
South Carolina, 103; Georgia, 102; Flor
ida, 1903; Alabama, 102; Mississippi, 102;
Louisiana, 95; Texas, 105; Arkansas, 90;
Tennessee, 100; average, 102; average
condition, SS.S. The percentage of Vir-
ginia is 90; North Carolina, 9S; South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, "a; Florida, 92;
Alabama, %; Mississippi, So; Louisiana,
S4; Texas. S4; Arkansas, S5; Tennes-
see, 81. The fair price prevailing with
low prices for other products stimulates
the extension of planting. The over
flows in Arkansas and Louisiana delayed
planting in those states and prevented
the increase which otherwise would have
been made. There are locations where
replanting to perfect stands injured by
cold nights is still continued and will
be, in extreme cases, to the fifteenth Of
June. Stands are generally very good
in the Carolinas with exceptions in low
areas where frost of cool nights have
destroyed plants. In the Mississippi
valley and in Texas heavy rains and
local floods and inundations have
caused an unusual amount of replanting
and on the Mississippi and other great
rivers delay of planting until the waters
recede. In such cases the seed has been
dropped in the mud and the plants have
appeared promptly, some times in four
days from planting. Except on the At
lantic coast the excess of rain has re-
tarded chopping out and cultivation,
leaving the crop somewhat grassy, though
recent fine weather has done much to
secure clean cultivation. In more south
ern latitudes the plants are beginning to
bloom. While the entire breadth as
rule is late, the plants are healthy and
growing rapidly

Suicide in Person County.

Mr.. Stephen Milton, of Olive Branch
township, committed suicide on last Sun
day morning, by hanging himself. His
mind had been injured for some time.
After breakfast, after carefully dress
ing himself, ostensibly for church, he
went to the stable and there procured a
halter rein made of plated poplar bark,
and which had been made for the pur-
pose, it is thought. With this strange
rope, he hanged himself in skirt Of
woods a short distance from the house.
He was about 60 years old and leaves a
