scotch Middle CInss Thrift

a Scotch woman, the wife of Philadel-
phia merchant, returned from her own
land with some very funny stories of the
canny middle class Caledonians. As a girl
the nearness characteriZing them was un-
noticed, but after living on this side, she
says, American liberality in money mat
tiers contrasts very strikingly with Scotch
thrift. Her first outing after getting home
was on the invitation of a young man, a
cousin, who was civil enough to ask her to
a county flower show.
As his fathers carriage was used in
transporting them TO the show no ques-
ton of who was to pay arose until they
reached the entrance. Here the lady, &C
customed to having her escort make ar
rangements, stood gazing idly about, Civ
ing the matter no further thought. Pict-
ure her rude awakening to national
customs when Cousin Robin gave her
elbow gentle nudge, and in the most
matter of-fact way advised her of the sum

Shaving with VaseIine.

A friend of mine a few months ago told
me how to shave easily and painlessly, and
| have never shaved in a BARRIERS shop
since, The plan is TO use oil or grease in
stead of soap to prepare the chin and soften
the beard. Vaseline is the most convenient,
and it should be rubbed in quite freely
Then, with a keen razor. shaving can be
done quickly and without a suspicion of
pain. At first | couldn't reconcile myself
TO doing without the orthodox lather, and
used soap after the vaseiine had been APP
piled. But the soap is really unnecessary,
and shaving with oil or vaseline is cleaner,
as well as pleasanter, and what is more to
the point, there is no irritation whatever
TO the skin.-lnterview in st. Louis Globe

Sweet songo's charms by poets have been sung,
Who stand the banks of heavenly
streams,
But scarcely faiTer those celestial shores
Than Songo's splendors. shrined in pictured
dreams
See the bright river winding in and out,
Watch the red naples and the browning elns,
The crimson sumach and the willows green.
Its woods are crowned with living diadems.
Beneath, the leaves that heap the shining sand
Take on the hues and shapes of midas shells
In the rich depths below tree mods to tree.
Each its sweet story of the autumn tells,
Though these uprear their branches TO the sky.
And those to answering skies and shades and
dells
Now, fairy like, the doubling river turns
To where q cottage stands-the yellow corn
Grows TO the waters edge: old apple trees
With crooked elbows their gray branches shorn
OF autumn fruitage guard the messy well,
And ia a tiny bend painted boat
Dips lazily, as move our tagging wheels
While drifts Of wehlile algs, all afloat
Gieam like spun gold aud shaftlike shadows seem
Sea caves, like those OF which old poets wrote.

Can prison. though they thread thy waters

A pla, full Rattlesnake.

John \. Theroux, of Sprague, Cal, re-
gently built a playhouse for his children,
and for weeks the children have been tell
ing their parents that there was a big snake
in their playhouse, saying that when they
were playing the snake would come out
and run around the playhouse and then
run away again. Finally Mr. Theroux's
little son James came running to his
mother. saying, Come to the playhouse
and see if cont know what a snake is"
Mrs. Theroax went to see if there was
anything there, and was greatly astonished
to see big rattlesnake calmly summing
itself Oh the floor in the doorway she
picked up a big bowlder and smashed his
snakeship. When Mr.. Theroux came home
he went out and found the snake dead, and
cut off his rattles, of which there were

The weather and the Crops.
COLUMBIA, s. @

The following weekly weather crop
bulletin Of the South Carolina weather
service, in cooperation with the United
States signal service, was issued Satur-
day:
The temperature and sunshine have
been above the normal and very bene-
fetal to all crops. The amount Of rain
fal! has been below the normal and
badly distributed, but local rains have
fallen in many sections within the last
two days and will prove of great bene.
TIT to crops where the prospects were
beginning to look gloomy. The plant
ing or cotton and, in fact. all farm
Work has been very much retarded by
dry weather. In many in stances there
has been SO little moisture in the soil
that the seed planted several days have
not terminated. But where the cotton
was planted early it Is looking remark
ably well, but this condition is confined
to a small area compared to the entire
crop. On stiff, clay lands 1t has been
very difficult to pillow and to prepare the
soil for reception Of the seed. Corn is
generally vigorous and growing, but
complaints are being made ofimperfect
stands, causing an unusual amount of
replanting. The entire corn crop Is
not yet planted. Rice in low lands is
peing "a ana replanted where 1t
was injured by Hoods q few weeks ago.
The acreage in wheat and oats has been
reduced considerably below an average.
But from every part of the State the
reports show that both crops are in
fine condition. The early sowing, as
usual, Is in q much better condition
than that sown late. The truck farm
ers are cheerful and their prospects for
full crops are very encour iging. Large
shipments OF stra wberries and vegeta-
bles are daily being SEM to the North
ern markets.
The condition of the farms just at
this time, while a little unfavorable,
are not at all discouraging. The farm.
ers are hard at work and a buoyant
feeling permeates nearly every indus
try, justifying the hope of II successful
year and u general industrial develop
ment throughout the State.

LYNCHED BY SOLDIERS.
The Town of walIa walla In the Hands of
Mob.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, April 3d.
d. j. Hunt. the slayer of Private Miller
on Wednesday night, was lynched last
evening by soldiers from the garrison.
His body fell in the Court House yard
riddled with sixteen bullets, four of
which entered his head. Early in the
evening Sheriff Mcfarland received in
telligencs that an attempt would be
made to lynch Hunt, and in COMPANY
with Prosecuting Attorney Blandford
he repaired to the garrison and told
Col. Compton what was feared and
asked him to assist in protecting the
prisoner. This he promised to do by
having check rolls called after taps.
The sheriff returned and engaged an
extra number Of guards. But all had
not arrived when the crowd, probably
seventy soldiers appeared and demand
ed that the officers open the doors of
the jail, and when the demand was re-
fused the soldiers began work on the
door with hammers and chisels. Find.
ing this slow work they threatened to
use dynamite. Further resistance then
being useless. the doors were opened
and thirty or forty cooked revOlvers
were levelled at the heads of all inside.
The keys Of the cells were demanded
and these were given the crowd, and
when Hunts cell was shown them they
quickly took him out to the Court House
yard and shot him.
The excitement was intense and the
crowd of two Thousand people surged
about the street in front of the Jail un-
til after midnight. Immediately after
the shooting. the soldiers went to their
quarters and it will be difficult to lden-
tify those concerned in the shooting,
though many were not masked. The
soldiers actually took charge of the
town and allowed no n to pass along
the streets in the vicinity OF the Jail.
They compelled merchants to put out
lights.
Hunt, who was a gambler. met Miller
last Wednesday night In a saloon. The
two began drinking and soon became
involved in a quarrel. Hunt drew his
revolver and fatally shot the soldier.

WASHINGTON, April 27.--Dr. Ham
ilton has received a report, dated March
16, from DIR. Cleary, United States SAN
itary inspector at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
DR., Cleary says that for the week ending
March IA there were In the city 566
deaths, of which '23l were from yellow
fever. The yellow fever epidemic, the
inspector says, has increased since his
~1astrepoft. The greatest mortality from
the disease was on the 18th, when ftrty-
three persons died.
DR.. Hamilton in speaking about the
yellow fever, said he thought it could be
kept out of the southern states this year.
The authorities were In a better som
dltion than usual, this being especially
due to The increased efficiency of the
gulf quarantine stations at Chande,eu
island and Mt Dry Tortugas and the
establishment of the new station at
Mullet Key, Tampa Bay, Fla, which
was erected by the state, and will soon
be opened. The greatest danger point,
DIR. Hamilton sa d, was from Rio, where
the fever rages iercely.
