The Japanese Pear.

Nash, the japanese pear, is in sea
son about the middle of September.
Its form is like that of many Ameri-
can apples, round and somewhat
fiattened at both ends 1t is ~
pyriform, or pear shaped, as We
understand the word, at all. They
are large, about three inches in
diameter, with thick, rough skins
of a russell or bronze yellow col
or. The skin is also covered with lit
tie gray spots. The varieties do not
differ much either in size, shape, color
or favor, whereas the American vari-
cites differ enormously III all these re-
spects. The flesh Is rather coarse, of
light yellow color, very juicy but
firm and not mellow, and lacks en-
tirely the ARENA and favor of the
American pear. They seem to me
watery and as destitute of flavor as q
potato. They are, however, largely
grown and much liked by the Japan
csc.-Cor. Detroit Free Press.

Hot Water for SIPenIe,xncss

y most wretched lier awake of thir-
ty-hve years standing, who for ten
years has thought himself happy if he
could get twenty minutes sleep in
the twenty-four hours, said: Il took
hot water--a pint, comfortably hot,
one good hour before each of my three
meals and one the last thing at night
naturally, unmixed with anything
else. The very first night l slept for
three hours on end, turned round and
slept again till morning. Ihave faith
fully and regularly continued the hot
water, and have never had one bad
night since. Pain gradually lessened
and went; the shattered nerves became
calm and strong, and instead of each
night being one long misery spent in
wearying for the morning, they are
all too short for the sweet, refreshing
sleep l now enjoy. "-London Specta-

THE BEST.

The thing to be particularly
noticed is how completely
newspaper adve Using has been
separated from its association
with an inferior class Of trade.
The great adveI tiserS now are
the leading houses not alone in
the extent Of their business, but
in its recognized cha acter. The
finest goods of every sort, the
most fashionable clothing for
men and omen, the III st costly
furniture, carpets and Orna-
ments, whatever Il purchaser
can possibly want that is rich
and fine as we'll as what is use
full and cheap, lie expects to find
described for him in the paper.
And the result of this is
beneficial both TO-. the deale RS
and for the public. The largest
and bet advert sers are every
Whe e those that do the largest
and best trade, while the facili-
ties for shopping have wonder
fully increased and the people
buy more and better goods than
they ever DID before. They
are better dressed, their homes
are bette: furni he'd, they enjoy
more of the comforts and luxu-
rieS OF life that at any previous
period, and one main cause Of
this is the general qu:ckening
Of trade that naturally results
from intelligent adve.tising.-

A CORRECTION.

RALEIGH, n. c., May %. 80.
Mr.. EDITOR,
Dear Sir: In your Issue of 22d
you quote Mr.. Elias Car as
writing to Mr.. Britton that the
News and Observer had made
some charges, in (Which charges
were replied to at the time by
Mr.. Moye and declined publica-
ton in the News and Observer"
Mr.. Carr is in error. Mr.. Fin
ger, the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction, having seen in
the Progressive Farmer, Janua-
ry 21st. tue resolutions you
printed -
Resolved, That we, the Fa IN
ers' Alliance of Pitt comfy,
demand that our representatives
in the next General Assembly

that the! @ was considers BILE oi =

we said Of the Pitt All ance
was:
"1t is stated that the Pitt
County Alliance has pronounced
against the public schools.
Many are tired Of paying money
out to educate the darkeys, we
presume"
MIR. Moye wrote US, and | i'm
mediately on re ewing his let

ed in the same issue, January
Goth, all of Mr.. Moye's letter
that related to this subject, be
ind about 300 words. You Can
see how much that would make
in print.
Mr.. MOye's letter confined
some disrespectful expressions
in regard to myself, which he
must have known l would not
print-and l did not print that
part Of his letter, but Returned
it to him.
You see Mr.. Car. is in error,
have written to him and to
Mr.. Britton on this subject and
wonld be obliged to you t, use
such part of this as you may
deem proper.
The News and Observer never
makes a misstatement know
