Two Kind OF Promoters.

There are two kinds Of promoters that
! operate in all rapidly developing sections
| such as the South, that always prove of
| great injury to honest, Legitimate enter
prises. One is the promoter or organizer
! of fictitious town schemes, and the other
| the promoter engaged in the removal OF
broken down, worn out factories from
other sections Both are dangerous, and
the fact that they exist should make
everybody careful, because all honest en-
terprises desire the fullest scrutiny.
There are of course, some thoroughly
honest town enterprises that fali apSo-
lutely, Just as all business operations the
failure of some is inevitable and IN these
cases the heaviest losers are generally
the projectors or organizers. ana SO
there are many first class, thoroughly
sound manufacturing enterprises That
seek change of location from desire
to be nearer to the raw materials Or
nearer to their consuming markets.
These two classes ought not to suffer
because of the misdoings of the other
classes While some fictitious town en-
terprises have unfortunately caused Il
nancial losses to investors, and thus the
whole South has been made to suffer Ia
the eyes of those who lost, many town
companies, as we'll as individuals, nave
suffered by having some worthless rae
tory palmed off on them by sharp opera
tors. There are some men who are max
ing business of getting hold OF such
bankrupt concerns, whose machinery Is
fit only for the scrap heap, and for big
commission unloading it on some too
confiding town company. This year
they may be operating in Virginia, and
the next year in Alabama or Texas,
trusting that the distance will prevent
their raputationA following them. A
number of idle factories and unoccupled
buildings in many of the new Southern
towns attest the skill of these men IN
their chosen line OF work. Many OF
these towns are suffering from the money
thus unwisely invested, and from the
injury brought about bv these idle fac
tories or by buildings that have never
received the machinery for which they
were intended -MansJactane7's Record.

Executions by Electricity.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
The new law of the State of New
York, for the execution of criminals
by the electrical current, instead of
by hanging, was enforced for the
second time on the 18th of July, upon
the bodies of four murderers. The
execution took place at the Sing Sing
State prison. There can be no ques-
ton of the superiority of this mode of
inhicting the death penalty over the
rope system. The attending sur
geons were two eminent doctors,
namely, DIR. Carlos +. Macdonald and
DIR. Samuel B. Ward. In their
official report to the warden, they
give the following particulars:
"First-All of the condemned
walked into the execution room un-
restrained, with firmness and with
out assistance, seated themselves in
turn in the electric chair without the
slightest protest or resistance, and
quietly submitted to the adjustment
of the retaining straps and the cleo
trodes.
"Second-In each case unconscious
ness was produced instantaneously
by the closure of the circuit, was
complete, and persisted without in
terruption until the hearts action
had entirely ceased and death had
certainly occurred. In each case
death was manifestly painless.
"Third-In compliance with the
statute, an autopsy was made in each
case, as soon as practicable, by DIR.
Ira T. Van Giesen, Of New York, in
our presence and under our super
vision, with the result of revealing
the same gross changes in the blood
and tissues previously observed in
cases of death by the action of strong
electric current.
Z SIN concluding, allow us to con-
gratulate you on the completeness, in
all their details, of all your prelimi>
nary arrangements, on the uniform
good order and decorum which
prevailed during the trying ordeal,
and on the resulting demonstration
of the rapidity and painlessness OF
this method of inficting the death
penalty. The experience of to-day
has proved to our satisfaction that
this method is superior to any other
yet devised"

Chinese Varnish.

The British consul at Hankow,
writing of the varnish exported from
that city, says he is informed that it
is the gum of a tree-the Rhus verni-
cifera. On this tree, before daylight,
missions are made; the gum that
runs out is collected in the dark, and
strained through cotton cloth bag,
leaving behind a large amount of
dirt and refuse. This operation can
only be performed in the dark, as
light spoils the gum and causes it to
cake with all the dirt in it. 1t can
rot be strained in wet weather, as
moisture causes it to solidify. When
the Chinese use this varnish, they
rub it on with sort of mop, or swab,
made of soft waste silk. 1t should
only be used in wet weather, as, il
the atmosphere is dry when it is rub
bed on, it will always be sticky. AS
used by the Chinese, the varnish
takes about month to dry, and dur.
ing the time it is drying it is poison
Gus to the eyes. The consul thinks
that this gum may have been one O.
the ingredients of the celebrated
Cremona varnish, and he suggests
that it might be worth the while o
musical instrument makers to make
experiments with it, with view t
producing varnish that would give
a mellow instead of CLASSY sound.

Boys on the Farm.
Farm and Fireside.

Farm and Fireside.
The decadence of farming Of late
years is largely due to the undeni-
able fact that city life has offered
greater attractions as we'll as greater
profits to the young. While it is
true that farming does not now re-
quire so severe and unremitting toll
as formerly, can it be said that young
people on the farm have been en-
couraged to find their pleasures and
relaxation at home? This is the
only way to make farm life attrac-
tive to the average young man. If
on each holiday he goes to the city,
it will naturally soon seem to him
that city life is all a holiday, while
life on the farm is one of unceasing
drudgery. 1t often happens that city
boys, kept at work in stores and
only allowed to go into the country
for vacation, see only the holiday
side of farm life, and acquire a love
for it that those brought up on the
farm too often do not share. Why
do not farmers take hint from these
facts and make as much holiday as
possible for their sons at home? II
is time that the old rule, which made
the boy hoe his row and run for wa
ter while the men rested, was super,
coded by practice which would
give boys the easiest tasks, and the
little investments that gave largest
profits, as the best means to interest
them in farming and make this the
occupation of their lives.

Broke Up the Band.

Ibid you ever try the plan of
sucking an orange or lemon before a
band that was playing?" asked a
theatrical man of reporter of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. "Well, if you
want to see a set of performers go to
pieces, try it some time. 1 had
heard of the trick, but never be-
lieved it would have such an effect.
Not long ago was in a small town
in the West. The village band was
serenading a newly married couple,
when l thought of the trick. / had
supplied several boys with lemons,
and I instructed them to suck the
fruit where the players could see
them.
"The effect was very laughable.
The man with the brass horn caught
the sight first. His mouth COM
menced 70 twitch nervously, then his
dry throat suddenly expressed a de-
sire for lemon juice, and between il
all he lost his place and quit playing
Other players had the same expert.
ence, aud they couldn't blow to-
gether to save their lives. The boys
were clean off, and the music was re.
commenced. / have been told by
several band men that a lemon
sucked where they can see it while
playing is very exasperating. as the
blowing makes their lips dry and 8
lemon would afford them great re-
lief"

A Biblical Test.

Educational Journal.
A singular experiment recently
took place in Palestine to test the ac-
curacy of DIR. Colensoa's statement,
that the people Of Israel assembled
in the valley between Mount Ebal
and Mount Gerizim could not hear
the curses and blessings delivered
from the heights above them. A
party was travelling in the neighbour
hood of these mountains, and two
ScOthmen assembled Mount Ebal, and
two Welshmen Mount Gerizim,
while the rest of the party remained
in the valley. One of the Scotchmen
read the curses, and from the oppO-
site mountain a Welshman read the
blessings. Both were easily heard
below, where the party added the
amens. Both readers were perched
upon the natural platforms near the
SUBMITS.
