Save Old Flannols.

Mrs. M. II. Lamb writes Orange
JudW Farmer: 1t is a common prac-
ticc to destroy old cast-off %flannels,
or tear them into carpet rags. Don't
do it! Have a basket for storing
them after they are washed. Put it
in a convenient place where any one
of the family can find it and you can
place your hand OH it in the dark.
Then when a child wakes in the
night with a sore throat or a croupy
cough, you can get and quickly heat
a flannel around the lamp chimney,
and after greasing the afflicted parts
with ointment or oil, apply the flannel
piping hot. This will quiet pain and
give almost instant relief.
If you e obliged to get up and
build a fire to heat bran sacks or
other appliances, you would be more
than apt to neglect it until too late
and cause much suffering to yourself
and child. If the worn and feeble
mother would heat a large flannel
and lay it on her tired side, or any
part of her body where there are
aches and pains, she would be very
a~greeably relieved and save herself
much suffering if the flannel could
be secured in a moment. In some
casos of sick and nervous headaches,
relief may be obtained by applying
hot tlannels to tho stomach and head,
especially if tho patient is lacking
in vitality. Try it, feeble mothers,
and you will never consider a flannel
garment valuclcss oven ii worn past
usefulness as a garment.

The Law in Russia.

In Russia almost every conceiva-
BILE thing a man might do is regula-
ted by the written law. The Rus
sian idea of governing the people is
in direct opposition to the conccp-
tions of the West. With us, every
thing that the law does not expressly
forbid is permitted; in Russia every
thing is forbidden that the law does
not expressly grant, which means
nothing at all. And when the whole
matter is removed from the realm Of
theory to everyday practice, Russia,
though there is a code of between
twenty and thirty hugo folio
volumes of about 1000 pages apiece,
is a country as lawlcss as an African
chieftain's domain. A man with
neither money or bride, nor influence
in high places to protect, is at the
mercy of any petty little police Off
Ger Dr. secret government spy who,
out of sheer personal spite, may get

person in all Russia.-Neso York

Observers of all social and politi-
cal movements wisely conclude that
almost any agitation, kept within the
bounds of the law, is bcttor than
~stagnation. There is such a thing as
being contented with conditions
which should aronse tho utmost
antagonism both of the individual
and of classes. Take what view one
may of tho Farmers Alliance and it's
effect upon politics there will be no
question, whether the specific ends
ut which it is directed are accom-
plishcd or not, that the result must
DC of advantage, not simply to the
farmers themselves, but to tho entire
industrial community. 1t is seldom
that any political movement COM
passes all O. it's purposes, but it is
something to fail in great under
taking when this mere failure gives a
propulsion to the whole of society in
the right direction.

Two systems of cremation arc fol-
lowed at Milan, by one Of which the
body is burned in a furnace T.
rounded by wood and charcoal,
while by the other the combustion is
brought about through a number Of
jets of gas which cast their heat
upon the furnace from all sides.
When wood and charcoal arc en-
ploycd, about six hundred pounds of
wood and one Of charcoal are found
necessary, and the process lasts two
hours. When gas is used, all that is
consunablc in the body is burned up
in less than fifty minutes. The body
may, in ordinary cases, he introduced
into the furnace with or without the
coffin. But if death has been caused
by some infectious disease, the coffin
and body must be burned together.
The weight of the remains after re
nation, in the form Of bones and
dust, is about four pounds. They
arc in color pure white, tingcd here
and there with n delicate pink; and
it is a rule never to touch them with
the hand. The bones and ycstigcs
of bones (Which + for the most
part burned into powdcr) are taken
up with silver tongs, while the ashes
are removed from the furnace with a
silver shovel, to be placed on a silver
dish and then deposited in an urn
for retention in the cinerarium.
Here tho ashes arc preserved in scpa-
rate compartments, each with a suita-
bic inscription beneath it. The cost
of cremation is So to a member of
the Society for attending Cremation
in Italy, or $40 in the case of nom
membcrs.-Mcd. Record.

In common with the majority Of
tho press Of tho State, we desire to
utter our condemnation of the con-
test of Miller's election in the
Seventh District. This District was
laid off and set apart rs the "Black
DISTRICT" and was in some sense a
concession to the negroes who have
n majority of about twenty to one.
And on its face it looks like q fimsy
pretcxt to charge that the ballots
were on~c-sixteenth of an inch too
short and q little off in color. There
is no dispute, but that the over
wholming majorits of the negroes
have voted for Miller and it does
violence to the American sense of
fair play to engage in an attempt to
defeat their will. 1t is not q question
as to which would make tho most eff
cicnt Representative and reflect the
greater credit upon the State, for if
| there can be no doubt when we con-
slider Col. Elliott's successful efforts
in behalf Of the Port Royal dry
dock and Miller's trifing attempt to
cstablisha home for INDECENT ex-slaves
and to securc q pension for them,
but it turns upon tho question as 70
which got the majority of the votes.
Let the State Board Of Canvasscrs
rise above any appeals to party pro-
judice, and do tn" right thing, and
if thoy don't do it let the House dare
to do ~right.-People's advocate.

Curlosities OF Cotton.

Much has afsrsd ii TIC papers
recently about tho *Lintlsss Cotton
grown by MI. H. T. Ferguson. !, 9
prominent farmerof Woodruff. The
fame of the cotton has spread over
the whole country, and Mr. Fergu-
son has won the distinction Of being
a "cotton crank"
Some have believed the strange
things related of the nov variety OF
cotton; but the vast majority of
those who have read the articles
have preferred to await further devel-
opmonts before accepting it as true.
Those who have seen the cotton as
the writer has, canuot doubt that it
is a reality, nor can they doubt that
it is one of the greatest discoveries
of the age. ...;l i~y a>",Ii'l
Four years ago Mr. Ferguson,
with Capt. Bowdcn, of this city,
ordered from Mark w. Johnson 81
Co., of Atlanta, Ga, one bushcl of
cotton seed, known as the African
Tow-head, for which they paid $40.
Mr.. Ferguson planted his seed,
and when the cotton Mas about
matured he noticed that it>was of
two kinds, the red stalk and white
stalk. The white was very prolific
in lint, while tho red contained q
larger proportion of bolls and moro
seed in the bolls. Tho next year he
separated the two kinds, and the
contrast widcned. The red stalk
cotton had little or no lint on it., and
the third year it had absolutely none,
and this, the fourth year, it is as
clean Of lint as a watermelon seed.
Each year the bolls have been
thick on the stalk, and the stalk
larger than tho ordinary cotton. Mr..
Ferguson has ten bushels of seed
this year, and from past experiments
he is sure 400 bushels can be grown
on an acre, and fully 200 bushels can
be gathered from an acre when broad
cast without cultivation. The plants
are very hardy and will grow in any
soil that will grow cocklc-burrs with
out fertilizers or work.
The weed and bells are not unlike
ordinary cotton, but inside the bolls
instead Of lint and seed only seed
arc found just rs full as can be, and
at n time when the cotton usually
"opens these bolls crack q little and
show hrhdrcds Of finely developed,
black seed. They weigh almost
twice rs much as ordinary seed, and
hence their fertilizing properties arc
greater. They also contain more oil,
Mr.. Ferguson has received more
than n thousand applications fol
seed, but has not sold one. Next
year he proposes to place them on

The mine at St. Andre du Poirer,
France, yearly produces 100000 tons
of coal. The mine is worked with
two shafts, one 1852 feet deep and
the other 1888 feet. The latter
shaft is now being %dccpcned, and will
soon touch the 1000 foot level. A
remarkable feature of this deep mine
is the comparatively low tcmpera-
turc experienced, which seldom rises
above 750 Fair. In the gold and
silver mines of the Pacific coast, ut
a depth of less than half that Of the
French coal mine, much difficulty Is
often experienced in keeping the
temperature low enough to admit OF
working. In some levels of the
Comstock lode the temperature
rises as high as 1909 Fair.
