Hints to IIousekeepers.

If one wishes to cool hot dish in a
hurry, it will be found that if the
dish be placed in vessel full of cold,
salty water it will cool far more rapid
~ than if it stood in water free from
salt.
Silk must never be ironed, as the
heat takes all the life out of it and
makes it seem stringy and fabby. If,
however, you wish to press out old
bits of silk and ribbon for fancy
work, use an iron only moderately
hot, and place two thicknesses of paper
between that and the silk.
Silver can be kept bright for
months by being placed in an air.
tight case with a good-sized piece of
camphor.
Old stocking legs make nice sleeve
protectors.
Boiling hot liquid may be safely
poured into a glass jar or tumbler by
first putting silver spoon in the dish.
Be careful, however, that draft of
cold air does not strike the vessel
while hot.
A gargle of salt and water used be-
fore retiring at night will strengthen
the throat and keep off bronchial
attacks.
Biscuits can be warmed to be as
good as when just baked by placing
them in the oven dry, covered closely
with a tin. 1t is a great improvement
over the old way Of wetting them.
Shoes that are worn regularly, if
cared for, will last much longer than
it neglected. A French kid shoe, if
kicked around on the closet floor or
under the bed, will not last as long or
look as well as one of inferior quality
if properly cared for. When shoes
are taken off they should be wiped
with soft cloth, and, after airing a
little while, oiled or polished and put
in a box by themselves or in a shoe
bag, and when wanted for use can be
taken out ready for wear. It is not
advisable to use much of the dressing
so fashionable for ladies' and children's
shoes, as most of them crack the
leather and ruin it.
Delicately colored goods of any kind
should never be washed without a
saltwater bath first, but care should
be exercised in reference to materials
which are likely to shrink when i'm
mersed in water.

It is The Farmer

Who is it, when his crops are good,
supplies the nation with it's food, who's
always by the country stood The
Farmer. Who is it, when the crops
are light, and money scampers out Of
sight, still struggles on with all his
might? The Farmer. Who, often
when by debt oppressed, is forced to
do his level best to keep paid up the
interest? The Farmer Who is it
when he gets crop makes interest
and debt both stop, and comes up
smilingly on top? The Farmer. Who
works contentedly away, while on the
public tricksters prey and make the
laws they must obey? The Farmer.
Who gives his dollars and his dimes
to greedy trusts and big combines,
which only laugh whene'er he whines?
The Farmer. w no is it must in fu-
ture mix in public life and politics,

Growing Beet Seed.

The seed of no garden vegetable is
more easily grown than that of the
beet It is sold wholesale very cheap
~, but every farmer should, SO far as
possible, grow beet seed for his own

large specimens for seed. Those who

Catarrh in Animals.

Catarrh in any animal is the result
of a cold which the inflammation has
become chronic and purulent. In this
case it is more than skin deep, because
the absorbed matter has made the
blood impure, and this impurity must
be gotten rid of. A dose of four ounces
OF epson salts will begin this purifying
process, and a fourth of dram of
chlorate of potash daily will continue
it, and in a month will probably COM
plete it. A little powder OF the chic
rate blown into the nostrils daily will
hasten the cure. This is for small
animal as pig, for COW, or horse,
four times as much should be given.
But at times, a disordered stomach,
caused by indigestion will produce all
the symptoms of catarrh, and while
the treatment above will serve equally
well for such case, yet change of
feed and a reduced quantity will be
necessary

widely. and seldom hold their peculi-
arities long. The New York Experi-
ment Station last spring tried to get
seeds OF the Tilden tomato, only few
years ago widely advertised variety.
Only two seedmen offered it, and of
these neither had the Tilden as known
fifty years ago. The specimens were
smaller than Hathaway, while former
~ it was very large tomato. The
Trophy tomato also, according to the
same authority, is not as good as form
erly. It used to be the standard for
frmness of flesh and high quality.

Care of Farm Implements.

r 8 Is
No building on the farm pays better
than good Toulouse. It should be
80 convenient of access that there need
be no excuse for leaving farm imp1e-
ments exposed to the weather when
not used. Properly cared for, many
implements that now last only few
years ought to be serviceable go long
as the farmer lived to need them. Be
sides, a tool that has not been rusted,
warped and cracked by exposure will
work as well the second and third
years of use as the first. On many
iarms tools are SO much injured by
being left out of doors that after the
first season they cost more for repairs
than they save in labor.

Farmers' Wives.

Perhaps the farmers wife is not an
object of pity; perhaps no more is re-
CURED OF her than any other woman
might do, but it cannot be denied that
she is expected to do avery great deal.
The farmer of to-day is intelligent; he
likes to attend big Grange meetings
and Farmers Institutes; he likes to
take his wife along with him; he likes
to see her dress stylishly and her hair
as neatly arranged as the dress aud
hair Of any other mans wife. Should
they be obliged to take the baby along,
she is expected to take care of it; he
wants to listen to the speeches, and he
couldn't keep it still any way. so there
Is no use of trying. Should there be a
dinner connected with the meeting,
his wife must furnish her share of
light biscuit, frosted cake, etc.; she
must also help to set the table and
pour the coffee. Should she be called
on to make a speech, her husband is
gratifed to hear her read well-written
essay, and does not like it
it she cannot at least make
a graceful excuse. If she has the
least musical talents, she is wanted to
play the organ or help sing. It is not
necessary to add that this same farm
er likes to see his house neatly kept,
his food well served, his children clean
and in state of good repair; all that
goes without saying. Should guests
visit their home; he expects his wi fe
to regale them with savory repast,
and also to entertain them with we'll
chosen conversation. Should fin
gers be stiff with hard work, he re-
quests his wife to write his letters for
him; and should she be skilled in
arithmetic, there is no reason why she
should not keep his accounts.
BY the way, why is it that our girls
are SO much better educated than our
boys? It is because the father keeps
bis sons out of school whenever he
J needs their help, while the mother al
lows her daughter to go, even through
doing her daily work without her in
wolves working half the nirht too

A Washington dispatch of the 9Th
inst. represents Senator Vance as
not being alarmed at the reports of
combinations against him in this
State and especially at the latest
report about the alleged combina-
ton between the R. & D. Rail
road Company and members of
the Farmers Alliance, to which he
attaches no importance. and for
which there is not the slightest
grounh. He says he would not be
surprised at opposition from this
rail road company as always in the
contest between the farmers of the
State and it he has sided with the
farmers, but would be surprise d
at anything like serious opposition
from the farmers whom he has alw2 IS
championed, whether they belong
to the Alliance or not. The r. &
D. R. R. Company has enough to
occupy its attention without wasting
it's time on trying to elect a U. s.
Senator in place of Of Vance, it was
so inclined, but is not so inclined.
and the Farmers Alliance men of
North Carolina know Senator Vance
too well to swap him off for any un-
tried embrio statesman. That's
about the situation as regards Sena-
tor Vance and the farmers of North
Carolina.-Star.

The Weakness sf Tall Men.

Tall men. as rule, have bodies out of
proportion to their lower limbs-that is,
smaller than they ought to be-with the
natural result that they are unable to
bear fatigue, or to compete in the
struggles of life with lesser men more
har1noniously proportional. Army ex-
perience bears out these observations. In
a long and fatiguing march the tall men
usually fall out first or succumb to cam
paigning, unless, as is very rarely the
case, they have well knit and symmetri-
cal frames. A soldier between five feet
five inches and five feet eight or nine
inches is usually the man most capable
of bearing the strain of life.-New York

Cost of Heating Water.

Water is one Of the hardest Of all sub
stances to heat. This furnishes "a good
illustration of the law of the .conserva-
ton and transformation of forces, To
raise one pound Of water one degree in a
minute is required heat which. If up
piled to an engine. would raise 772
pounds of water Or any other substance

pounds one degree in a minute would be
equivalent to raising eighty-six times

OUR FAIR.

The time for holding the second
annual exhibition of the Edenton
Agricultural and Fish Fair is fast
approaching. ITO be ferewarned is
to be forearmed,' hence we caution
Our readers that they make all things
ready, 80 that, as an exhibitor or Wis.,
itor, they can devote the necessary
time to it, without interfering with
other labers which command them,
that they can lay aside all work and
care for two or three days and
spend the time in relaxation and amid
the rejuvenating sensations Of meet
ing and shaking old friends by the
hand, and the rich experience Of wit
Messing our unexcelled exhi bition Of
mans inventions and natures pro-
auctions. .-..
We want the whole country to feel
that they have local interest in the
success of our fair, and with freedom
and pride contribute literally of the
best of all they have that will lend an
interest to the exhibition. 1t is
strongly noticeable that where fairs
are most literally patronized ana
made the most interesting, that i'm
provements in agricultural condi-
tons have been the most rapid and
marked. and the general prosperity
of the farming community is most OBJ
servable. This shows that the inter-
ests Of the farmers are identical with
those Of the fairs and shat they can
not proitably stay away from such
institutions.
The'agricultnre Of the present day
stands upon broad and deep founda-
tons and one OF the most potent fac
tors in bringing it to such @ state OF
excellence has been these fairs But
they are not thing Of exclusiveness.
They are everybody's Institution. The
opportunities for sight seeing and
friend meeting gives pleasant attrac.
tiveness to all classes of people, and
We invite you all to come and enjoy
the fruits of the labors that the man
ayers are bestowing in their effort to
make this the browning exhibition of
the year.
The Fair will be held four days,
from October 18th to 31st. The pro.
gramme will be Unusually elaborate
and interesting The second day
will be the farmers day. Hon. Manu-
Page, a great Alliance leader of Vir-
ginia, has been invited to deliver an
address on that day, which we trust
WI be heard by every farmer in this
district. The following is h letter of
acceptance addressed to the Presi-
dent Of our fair:
