One of the noted objects in animated
nature at the capital is Don Cameron's
Scotch collie. A long period of 81
lent observation of the appearance and
p~eculiarities Of politicians, particularly
from Pennsylvania, has given Major a
discriminating idea of their value as
they turn up at the bell pull.
Don's dog is a thoroughbred in more
ways than one. His position of mute in
q~uisitorial observation is from the mat
in the outer yestibule at the senator's
front door. He invariably lies with his
lower jaw resting on his paws As the
senator's callers appear he gives them a
glance without raising his head. If sat
~isfactory he will get up with dignifed
motion and step u on the pavement
until the caller enters, and will then re-
sumo his place.
He seems to know the difference be-
tween the callers who get in and those
who don't, and draws the line on the
latter. The regulars, who come often,
are received with great consideration by
Major, who, as soon as he spies them at
h yestibule door, jumps up and wags a
tail of welcome and moves out Of the
way.
Those who come and seldom get in are
received by Major coldly. He keeps his
place on the mat. apparently asleep,
which makes it in~convenient to reach
the bell pull without stepping upon the
knowing animal. When the unwelcome
callers try to make their way within the
door he whines a doleful strain, and
often stands up on the mat and gapes
and stretches.
The amusing animal has also assumed
the guardianship of the ladies of the
family n invariably escorts them a
square or two when they leave the house.

The bad habit of begging into which
not a few small children have fallen is
growing very rapidly and should be
checked some way. Most of the little
folks who make a practice of asking
pennies of passers by offer no excuse for
their asking, and do not more than half
expect to get anything for it. But of
late the progress made in this evil is
something surprising, and now many of
the children have become SO trained by
experience that they can invent any
number of stories of necessity, in order
to be more certain of a response to their
appeals. Some of the stories are quite
ingenious, while others, as the following
will show, are as simple and amusing as
would be expected of them: A stylishly
dressed man while strolling along a side
street suddenly found his way obstruct-
ed by a tiny girl, evidently not 8 years
old. Say, mister" she piped, please
give me a penny to buy me a shoestring."
She seemed to have forgotten that the
shoes she had on were buttoned ones,
and almost new at that.-Buffalo Ex-
press,

The fact is coming more and more
towards universal acceptation that the
little folks are, after all, the only ongi-
nal thinkers.
A bright miss of some half a dozen
summers added another item to the bur
den of proof a few days ago. She had
gone from her home on Walnut Hills to
visit a neighbor, and as she was about to
start for the return trip the latter gave
her some butterscotch to carry home for
her aunt. In giving It to her, the lady
explained:
snow, Nan, you just take this butter
scotch to your Aunt Mary. l know she
will like it."
The mite eyed the dainty with longing
eyes for an instant and then said, with a
wise shake of the wee head:
Il don't know, but I'm quite sure
Aunt Mary won't car for it; she Is 80

Happy H~eligolandi The population Of
this tiny but favored isle-now number
ing $500 souls-is reported to be increas-
ing; so is the revenue, which amounts to
ca, 295. More satisfactory still, this -four
ishing possession had at the close Of 1889
absolutely nj liabilities beyond a sum Of
e10, and even that was only outstanding
because the account was somehow pre-
sented too late for payment within the
year. Altogether, Heligolsnd sets an
excellent example to Its neighbors, and
this is the more noticeable because there
was a time when it Jared far otherwise.
In noting with just pride that his sub
jects are content and orderly" Gov
ernor Barkly expresses a hope that the
evil days Of debt and political discon-
tent, Of which the reports of some Of his
predecessors drew 80 dismal a picture.
are ended forever. Like a prudent ruler,
however, he reminds the Heligolanders
that the prosperity of their tight little
island, depending as it does on summer
visitors, is necessarily precarious, and
Expresses his determination to keep a
sufficient sum In reserve to meet the Sc
rious contingency OF "a bad bathing sea

Economy.

Many people would be economical il
they knew how. 1t Is an art TO practice
economy. To do 1t well one must know
the art. All can have 1t II they will. 1t
is an arithmetical art. 1t is the conclu-
sion OF numbers. All must live and
ought to live well. but how to live best
at the least expense is the work of fig
ures to tell. We must count the cost Of
ways and mean and compare them.
Many people use expensive articles Of
food and dress when cheaper ones would
be in every way better and more service
able. Especially in regulating the table
expenses is there q great want Of econo-
my. A little useful information con-
corning the qualities of food, the amount
and kind Of nutritive matter they CON
tain, the wants of the human system,
and the best way of cooking, would oft
en- ave fully one-third, and. in many in
stances, half the expense. A wise econo-
my in table expenses is favorable to
health. and In this way saves time,
drugs. expense and doctors bills, flesh,
strength and happiness. Boston Herald.

1t is said that one of the great trunk
line railroads deliberately provides for n
loss of many thousands of dollars a year
upon the meals served in its dining cars,
and charges the loss to the advertising
account, in full knowledge that the talk
such prodigal outlay will create is as
good as that o of moneys worth
in printers ink. A friend told me that,
as an illustration of how the loss is occa-
stoned, he had for breakfast in one of
those cars, n day in April, a trout, a
game bird and a bowl of strawberries
and cream, besides coffee, rolls, butter
and a glass of milk. The meal cost a
dollar, and his wife told him she could

A NEW DISCOVERY.
Grrat Remedy

Having been a great sufferer. from child
hood, the result of protracted chills and indi-
gestion, terminating in diseases of LIVER,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimentlng, I succeeded in discovering a
combination of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a em4dy for diseases
of all the internal organs superior to any
known in a life of suffering and practice Of
fifty years. As by it 1 have b, en- restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect hea tn, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. 1t
also er abled me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and ever thing set
before me with impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking ola
grippe" and relieved those Of the late cpl
demic who tried it. 1t IS also proving valua-
BILE in many female diseases.

ter for men with capital to do good
farming. Capital is necessary, but
brain and land is the most important
things. Jay Gould has the reputation
of being very rich, but the chances
are that he would be a pauper in ten
years if he should go to farming. The
great mistake in this country is too
much land in cultivation and that no
efforts have been made until quite
recently to prevent the lands washing
away.
But We have been to a good farm
nine miles from Raleigh, another
fourteen miles and still another eigh-
teen miles. Now these farmers did
not haul their manure from the Raj
eigh stables. There are good farms
miles and miles from any city. We
want to visit and talk with more
good farmers. The man who has
anything to do with an agricultural
paper should know a good farm when
he sees it and know how to run a
farm successfully. We hope to con
tinue to get good ideas and then tell
our readers. AS the organ of the
great farmers organization, The Pro,
GREssIvE FARMER has been filed with
Alliance letters, statistics, ETC., and
many economic questions have been
discussed which, it is hoped, has been
of great advantage to u readers.
All this is still important, but we
hope from now on to give a good
deal of practical agricultural matter
bearing directly on the affairs of the
farm and home. Our many CORES
pondents can aid us by giving their
experience and by writing less matter
bearing directly upon the affairs of
the organization. Remember that we
must change our system of farming
in order to be prosperous and at the
same time strive to effect through
our organization such reforms as we
think proper on other matters. We
must be better farmers. We must
improve and save our lands. We must
be economical.
On every large farm in this part of
the State is a large bell, something
like a church bell. This calls the
hands to dinner and rings again
when work time comes again. This
will be news to our readers in the
western part of the State as they r
not to be seen there.
