On the way home she heard her mother
remark to another lady that one of the
singers, noted tenor, sang unusually
we'll. "Yes," said the lady, The went
up to high G without making any fuss
about it."
Ethel often heard music talked about
at home, SO that she knew that High
c" meant one Of the upper notes on the
musical scale, within the compass Of the
human voice, but SO high that some
singers could not reach it. Therefore
she asked no questions
A few weeks afterward Ethel went
into the country for visit. On the
morning after her arrival at the farm,
she got into the chicken-yard, where
she caused much commotion among the
fowls. The hens cackled and the
ROSTERS scree he'd, while she chased
them hither and thither to her hearts
content. thinking it fine fun.
''Oh. I've had lovely time playing
tag with tho chickens!" she told her
mother afterward, and she added: Il
most know that gray rooster went UP
to High e, but he made dreadful fuss
about it"-Youth's Companion.

SAVED BY A HYMN.



Death at Chatsworth.
Conductor j. w Stilwell said, while
speaking of the Chatsworth disaster in
which three hundred people were killed
or wounded, that his life was saved by
the familiar hymn Nearer, My God, to
Thee" AS the train approached tho
fatal railway culvert Mr.. Stilwell was
taking up tickets in car in which
there were siXty-two passengers Of both
sexes and all ages. In the car were
Ave young ladies seated in close prox-
unity to each other and as the train
swept forward in the darkness they
sang the old hymn which is
one of the most plaintive and
touching Of musical productions.
One beautiful girl in the first blush Of
womanhood sang the verse of the hymn
alone and her companions joined in the
chorus. The hour was so appropriate
for such music that every ear in the car
was turned to catch the refrain, and tho
conductor stopped with his hand on tho
knob of the rear door of the car until
tho clear voices Of the singers had com
pleted the chorus. AS the last words
died away the crash came, and fifty
eight living beings in that car wore
hurled to eternity. Had he gone out he
would have been creshed between the

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

The Republican State convention
assembled in Nashville last Wednes~
day and nominated Lewis 7. Baxter,
of Davidson county, for governor, by
reclamation. The platform reaffirms
allegiance to Republican principles as
expressed in their national platform,
endorses the administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison, especially endorses the
effort to pass the tariff bill, recognizes
the right and duty of congress to pass
such election laws as within short
perpetuate the Republican party in
power, congratulates the country up~
on the wise solution of the silver
problem, prOnounces opposition to all
trusts, denOunces all Democratic adj
ministrations in general, favors the
working of convicts on public roads,
and separate resolution passed by a
rousing majority, cordially endorses
the Federal election bill recently
passed by the House. Tennessee's
three Republican Congressman, Houk
Taylor, and Evans, were all present
and Houk was made permanent
chairman of the convention. Mr.
Baxter, after quibbling for some time
over the platform, finally swallowed
it all at a gulp, and accepted the
nomination.

DRIED FRUITS.

From the best and most reliable
information we can gather from the
principal fruit producing sections of
the United States, and Canada, there
will probably be better demand for
dried fruits this season, especially
apples, than for several years past.
The crop generally is reported short,
and there being very few old apples
carried over, the demand for nice
bright evaporated and sun dried APP
pies will be good. 1t is certainly
safe and advisable for all those who
have apples, to dry them as fast as
they ripen, and dry them in the best
possible manner, 1t is an old saying,
nevertheless true, that "any thing
that is worth doing is worth doing
WE'LL" Dried apples, to command
the best price, should be handled
well. Let the fruit be clean, core and
pare nicely, and cut into quarters, Of
even size, and they will sell for much
better prices than when handled in
the ordinary way. Consumers are
much more particular about the
quality now than they used to be
They want nice, bright, clean fruit
and will pay better prices for such.
