Swearing Pays Better Than Washing

aDese hyar commissioners cirtny
does make me SICK" said an elderly
woman Of the colored persuasion as she
emerged from the auditors Office at the
District building few days ago. In
her right hand she carried voucher,
from the police court which entitled
her to $1.25 witness fees and this was
the cause her remarks.
Whats the matter, auntie? quered q
by-stander as the woman passed by him.
Whats de matter? deres heap de
matter. Here hab been down to de
police court all de morning fer to swear
in whisky case, 'specting to 'ceiye
$1.25, but hyar finds out thar amt no
money fer to pay me, and de man in
yonder SAYS I'se got to wait till de bill
passes fore can get my money; but
what de devil does I know about de
.billp Don't eber know what de bill is
bout and amt got no business KNOWN,
:'ficient fer me to soy I done swore agin
man, and fore de Lord it's worth
$1.25 and I wants my money. Why,
| Lord save yer, honey, could doue fifty
cents worth of washing by dis time if l
had knowed dat was not gwine to get
paid fer swearing"
"Were you ever q witness before?"
asked the reporter.
why, course I was," said the woman
as she wiped her face with her apron
II am witness ebery time l gets q
chance, 'caus it's heap easier to make
sl.25 swearin agin people den by wash
ing it out, for you see it takes ober two
days fer to make dat much money
washing. But sometimes de work is
hard, especially when dem thar fool
lawyers get 'zamnining you. I tell you,
mister, dey is got q way of mixin you all
up and making you>pear foolish like to
d court, but I don't, mind it, for I gets
my $1.25, but hates to wait fer it.
Neber mind, rs gwine home right now
and tell woman what I heered gal
say about her and she will
come out and lick de gal and !
will see de fight and get another $l.25
for being witness. tell you dis hyar
government don't know who dey's foolin'
with, and befo' dey gifts through, if dey
don't pay me my money dey will hab 10
get another bill passed.; you hyar me
talk. Come along hyar, Liza" she said
to the little girl who was. with her,
"let's get out of dis hayarbout place:
Now, don't YOU go crying
'eaus didn't get de money
and can't buy you any 'naunae. Befo,
long you will be old enough to swar on
be making the old 81. .25 yourself. Well,

woman and her companion vanished

BRAIDING MACHINES.
Some of the Marvellous Work Pro.
duced by Them.

1t is very curious to an outsider to
watch the operations of braiding ma
chine. In one factory there are some
ten different kinds of machines kept in
operation. The most curious OF all is a
machine whose special domain is the So
called "applique" work. 1t performs
three tasks at one and the same time,
says the Ladies' Wear Review. When
properly adjusted a tiny knife cuts out,
according to the pretty design intended,
the figures from the upper layer of cloth,
while, simultaneously, the machine scws
these figures into the layer of cloth I'M
dcrneath, the upper layer being gencr-
ally of medium thickness, while the lower
one is cloth of the thickest, warmcst
and most expensive kind, such as is suit
able for lady's cloak.
The effect thus produced-artistic ara
besques, beautifully curving lines, form
ing an intricate, yet pleasing, pattern, ly-
ing on the cloth undcrneath--is very
pretty indeed. Generally two cloths of
shades differing so much as to form
fire contrast are chosen. The delicate
mechanism of this machine is especially
noticeable in the cutting out of the up
per layer of cloth. For, while the whole
process of cutting it and sewing it on
tight at the same time is done so quickly
dnder the hands of skillful operator
that a yard of this "applique' work is
made within five minutes, the knife must
be so nicely adjusted that it will cut ex-
actly through the thickness of the upper
cloth, and not the hundredth part OF an
inch deeper. Another machine, which
is likewise the product of very lngen-
ious brain, is the so-callcd "thrce-spooP'
machine. Two threads of worstcd and
one thread of silk cording are manipu-
lated by this machine in such manner
us to lay down the worstcd on the cloth
and to spin the silk right over and all
around it. The effect thus produced is
that of very thick silk braid, the whole
being more durable than silk through
out, yet much less expensive.
The beading machine, by means OF
which those most elegant ornaments OIL
a woman's drcss-thosc glistening ara
besqucs of bcading-arc put on, is an
other triumph of mechanical genius.
The same may be said of the feather
edge machine, which docs the so-called
'sunbeam" and "rainbow" work, cm-
broidering the shades, which are Gradu-
ally toned down or the cornclly machine,
which does the cording; and still more
so of the soutachc machine, which does
the simplest and yet one of the most
effective STYLES of embroidery.

a Child Victim.

An incident reported by Missionary r.
Darby, who is laboring on the Congo,
shows kew inhuman heathcnism is, and
how remorsclcss arc its cructies. lie
says: "A man died near the station
where I work. The people, as usual,
concluded that some witch had caused
his death by her spell, so they gathered
together to try to find the witch They
came to the conclusion that the wife Of
the deceased was the guilty woman.
They took her, cut her head off, threw
her body into the river, buried the head
in the ground until the flesh decaycd,
and stuck the skull on the roof of the
house. Fathers, listen mothers, listen !!
and then think of the darkness of Africa.
That man and woman had little baby
that could scarcely walk. Therc was
not man or woman in all these towns
that would give the child Il bit of bread
or q drink of water; not Il soul would
allow it to come into their house. They
left the poor little thing outside, and |
saw it wasting away. | said to enc of
nv bows, Whose child is that 2 1t
is the child of WITCH, he said. l came
hcmc. l thought to myself, Well, |
have been good many different things
in work, and | think l will just turn

into the town to buy it. They told me
they had taken the poor little innocent
baby and flung it into the river 10 the
crocodiles!"

TURPENrINE AND RosIN.
TheiLong Loaved- Pines OF Carolina Fl
njsh Roth Products,


nish Both Products.
Shaw's Ridge, sixty miles southwest
of Rauleigh, N c., is the homo of tho
long-lesved pine. From this sort Of
pine rosin ard turrentine are made,
and the manufacture is on interesting
process. The turpentine is a notice
ably slender tree that, when foot in
diameter, rises forty or fifty feet with
out O branch. Above the first
branch it may grow twenty feet or
more, having a cone-shaped top. The
leaves grow in great cluster on the
end of the branches, and are from a
foot to foot and half long. Toward
October the various landowners send
men, generally negroes, into the woods
for the purpose of tapping the pines.
In the trunk OF the tree near the ground
a cash is cut foot or more in width,
six or seven inches high and four
or five inches deep. Usually man can
cut $50 boxes day, as the gashes are
called. Naturally as spring comes on
the sap begins to flow up thl
pores of the tree and the cut bleed
freely. During the first week of April
the gathering Of the dip begins. Mev
90 around each tree with dippers and
buckets and carry the sap to central
places where it is put into barrels. Al
time passes the tree is Clipped to &C,
CELEBRATE the flow of snp and the chip,
ping is carried on until the fall. All
the sap gather the first season a tre9
is tapped is known as virgin dip. II
makes superior kind oftuI pent:ne and
sells at higher price to the distiller.
This year it is selling at $3.50 barrel
After the dipping season is over tho
trees are scraped to gather the deposit
of sap that may form around the boxes:
One man can chip and gather the SO.
from 10000 trees and this number ol
trees is called a crop. In the course o.
the first year the tree is chipped abou'
foot above the box. When warm
weather comes around again the chip
ping process is continued, and 20 on,
year after year, until the tree is Clipped
so high that tall darkey with his hook
on the end of long pole con chip or
pull no higher. The tree is Clipped
say fifteen feet high in the course OF
twelve or fourteen years. Notwith'
standing this constant chipping the
trees are possessed of wonderful vital
ity and will easily last thirty or more
years.
As soon as the sap is all gathered ii
is taken into distillery where it i
boiled in large iron tanks. Pipes lead
from these tanks and the vapor in pass
ing through is condensed and becomes
terpentine. The deposit is run out
upon large shelves through which the
purest of the stuff flows into tanks. The
rosin in the tanks is then dipped into
cheap pine barrels, where it hardens.
The barrels are then headed and
shipped to market.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Before cutting very rich cake dip the
knife in hot water and you will have no
crumbs.
Keep plenty of chloride of lime around
.he house during humid spell. twill
keep the air dry and pure.
Ringwornls washed two or three times
day in strong solution of borax and
water and busted over wish the powder
soon disappear.
Paint spots may be removed from
wood by covering them with thick coat
ing of lime and soda. Wash off after
twenty -four hours.
To neutralize the peculiar acid formed
in milk when boiling, pinch OF soda
should be added just when the milk IS
beginning to simmer.
A good way to preserve new mating or
to make old mating look fresh is to give
it a caat of varnish. If the mating IS
white use white varnish. g.
The rubber rollers of wriuging-
machines that have become sticky or
covered with lint from colored clothes
can be cleaned by passing a rag wet with
kerosene through them.
Pound two crackers very fine, add q
pinch of salt, one egg aud milk enough
to make thin batter, and you will have
very nice and light griddle. cakes for
either breakfast or lunch.
A wash that will prevent the hair from
falling out is made of one ounce of pow
dered camphor and one quart of boiling
water. When it is cool, bottle and wash
the head with it once a week.
Feather beds or pillows should never
be put in the sun, for the heat draws out
the oil from the feathers and gives them
a rancid smell. Air them on a windy
day where the sun will not touch them.
A favorite lotion to remove sunburn is
made by adding to twelve ounces oil
elder-hower water six drains Of common
soda, aud six drains of powdered borax.
This lotion will not only remove sunburn,
but it will make the skin clear and soft
as baby's.
Furniture that is covered should be
looked over carefully every two or three
weeks, and if there is the least sign OF n
moth the chair or sofa should be satu-
rated with benaine. The benzine will
not harm the most delicate colors, but it
will etfectually destroy the moth.
To see if cake IS done much better
way than inserting the spltnt Of broom
Is to pull the cake gently forward and
put the ear close to it. If there is hiss
| ing sound put the cake back in the oven
until it ceases. When bread or cake IS
thoroughly baked there will be no sound.
