peans bent upon suppressing the slave
trade. 1t has been their practice to
treat their weaker captives with great
cruelty. They have now begun the
policy Of kindness and indulgence
The newly caught slaves are placed in
the care of older bondsmen, receive
plenty of food and drink, and are en-
couraged in the most dissolute and i'm
moral practices. Thus gradually per
suaded that slavery is really a rather
pleasant thing, they are taken to the
coast without chains or other tokens

ton. They are loaded with merehan-
disc, and under the name of porters
both men and women are brought
down to the sea in spite of the inter
diet against this practice.
The Arabs take care to tell their VIC
TINS most horrible stories of European
atrocities, and long before they get to
the coast all whites are Odious to the
deluded blacks, and they do not hesi-
tate to tell every one that thew are
free, preferring to deny the fact that
they are bondsmen rather than receive
their freedom at the hands of the
whites. This is the story the mission
aries tell, and they add that it is a per-
picking matter nowadays to distin-
gulsh newly caught slave from a

In they troop, demanding bread,
Only buttered bread will do,
And that butter must be spread

Oh, the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings
Hands to scrub and hair to brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss,
Many murmuring to hush.
Many little bump to kiss;

Things Useful to Know.

Almond meal is very softening and
whitening to the skin.
Peroxide of hydrogen, diluted with
ammonia, will bleach the hair.
Naphtha is good for cleaning kid
gloves, but keep it away from the
fire.
Ordinary sticking plaster makes a
good remedy for cOrns, as it keeps
them soft and prevents the rubbing.
Wash white flannels in cold water
with suds made Of white soap, and
they will not shrink much or look
yellow.
For chafing try Fuller's earth pull
verlzed; m Oisten the surface first when
first applying. Oxide of zinc ointment
is also excellent.
One of the most effectual injections
for constipation in young children, is
equal parts of glycerine and water.
1t is harmless and healing.
Never sweep dust and dirt from one
room to another nor from upstairs TO
lower part of the house. Always take
1t u in each room.
A good dentifrice is made of two
ounces of pulverized borax, four
ounces of precipitated chalk, and two
ounces of pulverized CASTLES SOAP

There's patent medicine which is
not patent neutrality-suspicious. as
it may sound. It's a discovery the
golden discovery of medical science !
It's the medicine for you-tired, run
down, exhausted, nerve-wasted men
and women for you sufferers from
diseases of skin and scalp, liver or
lungs-its chance is with every one, its
season always because it aims to purify
the fountain of life-the blood-upon
which all such diseases depend. The
medicine is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. The makers of it have
enough confidence in it to sell it on
trial. That is-you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't do what
it's claimed to do, you can get your
money back, eUery cent of Il.
That's what its makers call taking
the risk of their words.

To REMOVE GREASE FROM CARPETS.
The best thing to remove grease
spots from carpets is gasoline. If the
carpets have been down for some time
they should be taken up and thorough
ly shaken free from dust. A perfectly
clean cotton cloth should be laid under
the grease spot, gasoline should be
poured over it, and it should be wiped
with a clean cloth till it disappears.
AS the cloth you are rubbing with
becomes soiled change it for clean
cloth or rub in clean place of the
same cloth. In this way the most
obstinate grease spot may be removed
by few minutes of hard rubbing.
There should be no light or fire in the
room, and the windows should be open
when gasoline is used as it is other
wise a most dangerous and inAamma-
BILE material. Used with care it is per-
fectly harmless and more efficacious
than anything in removing grease,
being better than benzine or naphtha.

with his fellow New Englanders by
telling the Mormons in . speech at

Fathers who also "went a long way to
escape persecution, and who suffered
persecution for 9 principle" The
comparison of the sainted pilgrim
fathers with the polygamOus Mormons
was too much for New England pride
and austerity of character, and Presi-
dent Eliot has been forced to explain
that the Mormons no longer practice
polygamy and that, in his opinion.

n GREAT INDUSTRY.

The Mineral Wool Plant IA Valuable Ac-
The mineral wool plant, located in
the northeastern portion of the city, is
great industry.
1t is valuable acquisition to the
many manufacturing plants now in
Roanoke, and is of double value be-
cause tho material it uses is gathered
within the limits of the city.
Mine raj wool is a strange article. A
person would hardly suppose that Stag
from tho Grocer furnace and limestone
from the hills about the city would BIO
converted into substance which looks
exactly like cotton, or tho wool from
the back of lamb.
Yet such is the case The Stag and
limestone is melted in large cupola,
and, as it nelts, runs out in q stream at
the base. Before this stream touches
the ground 1t comes in contact with q
pipe sending forth jet of hot steam
The transformation is wonderful. Like
a snowstorm the downy wool falls to the
floor, soft as cotton.
AS it contains a large portion OF silica
1T partakes of the nature of glass with.
ont its brittleness. The fibres being soft
and pliable. crossing each other in every
direction. making tho most perfect in
su'ation.
The plant is equipped with powerful
engines and boilers, and will make ten
tons of wool each day. The machinery
did not run yesterday, as some of the
minor details in operating the plant are
not yet complete.
