SOCIETY POPULARITY.
The Woman Who Is a Favorite witt,
Everybody in Her Social World.

The Woman Who Is Favorite witt,
Everybody in Her Social World.
What is the secret of being ga popular
woman" as the phrase is understood in
society? There are some women who are
extremely popular with their own sex, who
have many women friends, but who are
not popular with The opposite sex Again,
there are many women who are most pop
ular with men, but who are unpopular
with women, and are undeniably bored if
thrown much in their company.
AS rule, the unpopularity of women is
q verdict pronounced upon them by their
own sex. Men proverbially make the best
OF women; if there is anything pleasant to
be said about them they say it, and "a
handful of good looks" weighs greatly in
woman's favor from a mans point of
view A woman must be very stupid,
dull, disagreeabe and plain before a man
will boldly confess that "he can't get on
with her" Unpopularity is derived from
various sources. A woman may be
piquante, pretty and pleasant she may
live in good style and do all that fashion
able women DO in the way of society en-
gagements, and yet be extremely unpopu-
lar with both men and women. Her wom-
en- friends are afraid of her. and her men
friends never feel sure of her because her
perceptions Of the foibles and weaknesses
of her friends are so keen and so little
tempered by genuine good nature that no
one escapes from the sting made by her ap-
parently innocent remarks.
Another type of the unpopular woman
is the one with chilling manner and
standofish demeanor, who, when she
would thaw, cannot do SO with any gra-
ciousness; though really kind hearted and
duty loving, she is as unpopular in society
as a woman can well be. a brusque man
ner renders woman unpopular until her
friends know her well; but acquaintance
seldom get as far as this; therefore to the
end of the chapter she remains the brusque,
unpopular woman still. Egotsm is a
formidable barrier to popularity. Women
of this type are agreeable only so far as the
topics of conversation concern themselves,
their aims, interests, amusements, etc.
Popularity has Il like diversity with I'M
popularity. Some women are immensely
popular because they are what is termed
good company" they have high spirits.
they are witty and full of good natured
repartee, they provoke geniality by their
natural vivacity, but this is a popularity
not to be acquired, being the outcome of a
gift.
woman can never be thoroughly popu-
lar unless, added to favorable position, she
has an innate sweet disposition, is consid-
crate, winning of speech and manner and
has the gilt Of saying at all times the
thing that will give the most pleasure
When clever woman is also a truly kind
iy one she is liked by all classes and is
foremost among popular women.

usually considered the first Federal OIL
Ger to fall, was slain. The first life lost
in the civil war was that of the soldier
killed in Fort Sumter by an accidental
explosion after the surrender.
Henry Lawson Wyatt was born in
Richmond, Va, Feb. 10, 1S42. His father
moved thence to Pitt county, N. c., and
Henry was working as carpenter In
Tarboro when the war began. He vol
unteered at the first call, and fifty-four
days after being mustered in fell at Big
Bethel. Some Federal sharpshooters
were shielded by a house between the
lines, and a call was made for volunteers
to set it OH fire. Privates Wyatt, John
H. Thorpe, George Williams and -
Taylor started to do the work, and as
soon as they entered the open field vol
ley was fired at them, and Wyatt fell
with bullet in his brain. The others
dropped in depression, and waited till
the artillery demolished the house.
Wyatt was buried near the CORVALLIS
monument at Yorktown. The other
three volunteers are still living.

a New Remedy for Whooping Cough.

According to Popular Science News DR..
Neovius writes in Finnish monthly that
he has tried the wild thyme (Thymus vul-
garis) in considerable number of cases of
epidemic pertussis, one of the patients be
ing little child of his, aged one and one
half years. The remedy was employed in
the form of an infusion, made of 100
grammes of the herb, 700 of water and 80
of strip of mallow (syrupus malvB), the
dose varying according to the child's age
from teaspoonful to a tablespoonful
from eight to twelve times a day. The re
suits obtained from the single treatment
surpassed the authors highest eXpecta-
tions, every one and all of his patients
making rapid and complete recovery.

EVERY man has the right to live
and enjoy the fruits of his own labor.
In making this compact, as an integral
part of society he agrees that while
others are restrained from iniuring
him, he is subject to a like restraint
from iniuring the others. This is true,
no matter how small or large the collec-
ton of individual sovereigns. The
widening of the circle but enarges the
duties and strengthens the guaran-
tees" says the Southern CultiUator.
HERE are Liebig's celebrated laws,
or axioms: O) A soil can be termed
fertile only when it contains all the
materials requisite for the nutrition of
plants, in the required quantity and in
the proper form. (2) With every crop
portion of these ingredients is re-
moved. A part of this portion is again
added from the inexhaustible store of
the atmosphere; another part, however,
is lost forever if not replaced by man.
(3) The fertility of the soil remains
unchanged if all the ingredients of the
crop are given back to the land. Such
restitution is effected by manure. a.
The manure produced in the course of
husbandry is not sufficient to maintain
permanently the fertility of farm; it
lacks the constituents which are annu-
ally exported in the shape of grain,
hay, milk and live stock.

IN our part of New England there
has never been much difficulty in get
ting sufllciency of good farm help,
though the high rates of wages in
southern New England are not without
effect, even in northern Vermont. AS
to abandoned farms, they are much
fewer in our section than farther south,
near the Massachusetts border, and
along the mountains. Our county is
situated in the "Y" of the Green
Mountains, and is thus, as it were,
fenced off from the rest of the state.
1t has never ceased to increase in popu-
lation. Its soil is fertile and not yet
exhausted, nor, under dairy farming, is
it likely to be.

IT is certainly true that, when well
protected, very tender roots will endure
our hardest winters. When we OBJ
tanned cions of Russian pears, plums
and cherries, we had nothing to graft
them on but our native seedlings. We
have done so, and, planting them out
in nursery and orchard, we have never
lost tree of any variety from winter
killing of the roots. But we have al
ways taken pains to set them down well
below the point of union. Some of our
budded pears had to be planted pretty
deep on this account, but it seems to
have done no harm, as the growth has
been good. We look to find that in
such cases roots have been sent out
from above the point of union. AS
these new foreign iron-clads come to
bearing, we expect TO be able TO raise
seedlings from them for stocks, but
still we do not expect to find such
stocks hardy enough to stand the win
tiers with unprotected roots.

including wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn,

IT is very long time since we have
seen 80 much sense in so few lines as
appears in Chatauqua publication en-
titled "Our English" by Professor
Adams S. Hill. Professor Hill says,
speaking of preaching: GA preacher
can not hope to interest and impress
his hearers unless he uses language
which they readily understand. 1t be-
hooves the preacher to make himself a
man. Not content with the study of
books and of men, preacher who
means to make himself thoroughly use
full to his people will, by farming or
gardening, by practicing some handi-
craft, or studying some science expert
mentally, cultivate an acquaintance
with practical things; and he will seek
in nature and in art inspirations and
sympathies that neither books nor men
supply" If our students of divinity
could be convinced of these truths, our
farmers would soon be made to feel the
force of gospel truths in way that
would astonish the world.

THERE is no such thing as an iron
clad - fruit tree root, so far as our ex-
perience goes. If there is no protec-
ton to the roots of our trees, either by
snow, sod, or mulch, they are invari-
ably found dead in the spring. This
puzzled us greatly before we lived on
our farm. We found trees dead here
and there, in the spring, while other
trees of the same kinds, often very
near by, were unframed. After we
moved to the farm we discovered that
such deaths always occurred where the
winds blew the snow away from about the
trees, leaving the ground bear. Whether
this death is caused by the cold killing
the roots, or by the arrest of sap-circu-
lation in consequence of the deep
freezing of the ground, we are not sure
but as we have never noticed that the
roots of such trees sprouted, or appeared
to be alive when taken up, we infer that
the roots are less hardy than the tops.

There was not nearly enough potash
in this fertilizer for potatoes on light
soil, but one hundred bushels of ashes
were added on about six acres. Pro-
fessor Cooke writes that there is prob
ably twice as much of the phosphoric
acid of this fertilizer reverted as when
it was sent into the the state, four years
ago, but we do not think this greatly
reduced its value. We are using the
remainder of the lot this season on
another potato patch, planted on the
turned sod of pasture that has had
no stock on it for two seasons-using it
without anything else, except that, on
narrow strip across the field, we have
sown half barrel of muriate of pot
ash, in order to learn whether more
potash would yield profitable result.

Phoenix Ice Factory,

The establishment of s. D. Lount & Son, ice manufacturers, was organized in 1879 by the pioneer and senior mem- Der of the firm, s. D. Lount, who fought against thousand and one obstacles to make the business success, and who has up to the present time succeeded most admirably, giving to the people of Phoenix superior quality of ice both in purity and substantiability. This is due to Lounts patent agitatOr, which causes impurities of every kind to come to the surface of the ice as it is frozen, when they are carried off by flowing water, which is practically the same as natures process in freezing on rivers. When s. D. Lount first manufactured ice in 1879, the demand was for only 25J pounds per day, for which he was com pelled to charge 6 cents per pound in order to deiray expenses and give him a profit of 72 cents per day for his la abor. Yet there are people in Phoenix today who still harp on that 6-cent charge. According to the demand for ice the price has been lowered from time to time, and within the last four months $. D. Lount X Son have enlarged the capacity of their factory to over five tons per day and are able, at the present time, to deliver to their customers ice in any quantities at cent per pound.

LINES OF BUSINESS. What Some of the E1er- getic Men of Phenix Are Doing for the City and
 Themselves.
An Excellent Showing in Business Way-MentiOn of Certain
 Prominent Firms.

The J. Y. T. Smith flour mill, located near the depot, commenced operations June 2s, 1889. The building is a three- story brick, divided in four experiments as follows: Flour room, 29x50 feet; mill, 39x50 feet; ware room, 66x5O feet; en- zine room, 15x60 feet, and basement, which is used for machinery, is 55x5O feet. Over the engine room is smoke stack 54 feet high. The mill was built by Wagner X Co.,, of San Francisco, Cal iiornia, and is complete roller mill, whic,. consists of seventeen pair of smooth rollers and three pair of corru- gated rollers, twenty elevators, twelve centrifugal reels, two flour packers, one bran packer, purifiers. asperators, flour bins, bran duster, etc. Also has Cran- mer's patent scalpers for protecting the silk cloth on reels. There is also bar ley mill with a capacity of handling l20, ,0O0 pounds of barley every twenty four hours. This mill has dirt suction which carries off every particle of dirt from the barley.
 The following parties are regularly employed in the mill: G. V. II. Shaver, superintendent; J. B. Creamer, miller {; A. E. Cobb, engineer; Oscar Berley, flour packer.
 MT. Shaver has been in Mir. Smiths employ since 1884, and has for some time past held the responsible position of superintendent. He is gentleman of ability and integrity, and well known in business and social circles, and was chairman of the last Republican City Convention.
 Mir. Cramer has been in Mir. Smiths employ since 1877, is skilled mechanic and man of extraordinary intelligence, and is considered one of the best millers on the Pacific coast.
 A. E. Cobb has served fourteen years with Mir. Smith, and is gentleman of superior ability, sober and industrious, and is as well posted in regard to the workings of an engine as any man that has ever handled a throttle.
 Oscar Berley has just been with Mir. Smith bakers dozen of years. The time he has been employed tells what kind of man he is. In other words, he has always "held his end up."
 Mir. Smith began milling in Phoenix in 1876 with a one-burr mill and a gen. eral merchandise store in connection. Then, after few years, enlarged it to a three burr mill, and later on to four burr mill, which he continued to run until putting in "roller process" He was compelled to freight his first ma. chinery to Phoenix from California by team. The wheat consumed to keep this present mill running steadily twen- ty-six working days out of month would require 7S0, 900 pounds, or 9,360,, GOO pounds per year. In connection with this mill Mr. Smith has a stone warehouse near the center of the city 50xl37 feet, iron roof, with capacity oI holding 100000 pounds of wheat.
