NO POLITICS IN IT.
Especial to News and Courier.l
COLUMBIA, May 4.-The Centennial
committee, at meeting this evening,
sat down heavy on local professional
politicians, who have been trying for
some weeks to plunge the pestiferous
fly into the Centennial ointment. The
Centennial committee piedg, the peo-
pie of the State at the inception of the
great undertaking that there should be
no politics in the affair. Occurrences
and publications within the past few
days, however, indicated to the COM
Inittee that few people, at least, did
not intend to help the committee to
carry out its wishes. 9Therefore the
com nniittee passed tonight the follow
ing resolution, which was given out
for publication:
''rhe Centennial executive comp44iitt- it.
tee request that in the decoraions of
the centennial there be no political
matters nor any devices of tie same
which shall give>to the centennial cele-
bration any>P6Mtical aspect. 1t is to be
DISTINCTLY understood that there is
Defining to promote the political pros
poets OF any person or parties"

A SDider Rarometer.

One of the simplest and at the same
time one of the best barometers is the
common garden spider. When there
is a prospect of rain or wind the spider
always shortens the stays or filaments
from which his web is suspended, and
leaves things in that state as long as
the weather is variable If the insect
elongates his threads it is a sign of fine,
calm weather, the duration of which
may be judged by the length of the
webs If the spider remains inactive it
is a sign of rain; but if, on the contra
ry, it keeps at work during shower
the rain will be of short duration, fol-
lowed by fine weather.
Other observations have taught nat
uralists that the spider makes changes
in its web every twenty-four hours, and
that if such changes are made in the
evening, just before sunset, the night
will be clear and beautiful, and the
thoughtful spider will stand a fair
chance of getting some tender night
flying insect for his breakfast, the re-
pairs of the spiders net being made
with that point in view.-St. Louis

Equ1vocaI Sentiments.

There is an old story about the mer-
chant of Milwaukee, who, during the
war of the rebellion, being an excellent
hand at sketching, drew most admira-
bly, on the wall of his store a negros
head, and underneath it wrote, in q
manner worthy of the Delphic oracle,
s'Dis Union foreber." Whether the
sentence meant loyalty to the Union
or not was the pulling question which
the gentleman himself never answered,
always replying to inquiries, Read it
for yourselves, gentlemen" Thus it
came to be a saying in the town that
'no one knows how dat darkey stood
on de war question.
Another similar story of more recent
origin is about a question which is
pulling the young ladies who attend a
western female college. 1t seems that
one of them discovered that some per-
son had written on the outer wall of
the college, Young women should set
good examples, for young men will fol-
low them" The question now per-
picking the heads of several of the
young ladies of the college is whether
the writer meant what was written in
a moral or in an ironical sense.-Bos-

FARM TOR SALE !

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, l have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav.
ing neither time nor ability to car
ny it on properly, I will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Mornstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc.,
all of which are within d to Il
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms of payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

The USE OF SALT AS A FERT1I1zER-Salt is benef-
ca all kinds of SOIL and rarely used without good re-
suits. 1t is most effective grass lands often doubling the
yield 1t is indispensable for full yield of manges and is
almost always beneficial rnip cabbages and ruabagas
1t may be mixed with plaster for topdressng grass and
clover in the spring. and when young wheat it
destroys the Hessian fly. 1t may be used with ashes but
wood ashes contain about onehird their weight of lime
is not usual to mix it with them The salt may be used
at the of pounds per on grass and

Oats and wheat preserved from by Sa the
