When to Cut Timber.

The best time to cut timber is I'M
doubtedly during the summer. Ex-
perience has shown that hickory cut
in July or August will not become
worm eaten and remains sound for a
much longer time than when the wood
is cut at other seasons. 1t is said that
the same rule applies to all other kinds
of timber. An authority on this ques-
ton says the worm that most CON-
monty infests hickory is the "Painted
Clytus," long horned beetle of a
dark notified greenish hue. 1t usually
attacks wood in early spring, while
another equally destructive insect de-
posts its eggs in the fall. Conse-
quently if wood is cut at time when
it is free from these pests-that is dur
ing the summer months-it is likely
to be in better condition.

Ask YOur Friends

Who have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla
what they think of it. and the replies will
be positive in its favor. One has been
cured OF indigestion and dyspepsia, another
finds it Indispensable for sick headache,
others report remarkable cures of scrofula,
salt rheum and other blood diseases, still
others will tell you that it overcomes
sc that tired feeling" and so on. Truly,
the best advertising which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla receives is the hearty endorsement
of the army Of friends it has won by its
positive medicinal merit.

The Base Ball Curve,

The pitcher had a little ball, and
it was white as snow, and where the
striker thought it was, the ball it
wouldn't go. 1t had a sudden in
shoot curve, it had fearful drop, and
when the striker wildly struck that
ball it didn't stop. "Why does the
ball fool strikers so?" the people all
did cry, "the pitcher twists the ball,
you know the teacher did reply.

Perhaps not every housewife knows
that there is right way and wrong
way to pour cup Of coffee, just as
there is to make one. But we have
the authority of lone who knows
for saying that such is fact. The
Philadelphia Telegram says:
'Do you see how that cream has
curdled in your cotf'ee?" said II we'll
known caterer recently. "Iou'd at
tribute that to its being sour; that's
not the cause. The trouble is that
very few people know how to pour a
cup of coffee. 1t is almost the univer-
sal notion that the cream and sugar
should be put in first and then the
hot coffee poured upon this. This is
a mistake, as it will almost invariably
curdle the cream. You should first
put the cream in the cup, then the
coffee, and put the sugar in afterwards,
if you use it, and you will always have
a good cup of Coffee

The August Races at Raleigh.

Wednesday and Thursday, August
23rd and Oath, will be great days for
lovers of horses, these being the dates
of the annual August races at Raleigh.
There are to be four races each day in
Guiding all classes. Owners of fast
horses have been to Raleigh and per-
sonally arranged entries, and others
are rapidly entering by mail. The
Raleigh race track has been so changed
and improved, that it would not be
recognized by those who have known
it for years. The back stretch has
been raised nearly five feet, and the
grade at all the turns from pole to out
side has been made one inch to the
foot, thus making the outside edge of
the track forty inches higher than at
the pole. These improvements make
the track from to IL seconds faster
than before. 1t is expected that some
of the horses entered will make records
of 2:20 or lower in August. A number
Of magnificent young horses are in
training now, fifteen being at Capt.
B. =. WilliamsOn's Fairview farms
alone. The use of Raleigh track will
be free to all horses for training pur-
poses as soon as it is finished. Adj
dress E. II. Lee for particulars.

For the Housekeeper.

The Journal Of Chemistry gives the
following as an intallible vermin ex-
terminator: "Dissolve two pounds of
alum in three or four quarts of boiling
water; then apply it with a brush,
while boiling hot, to every joint or
crevice in the cupboards where ants
and cockroaches congregate, to all
the pantry shelves and to the joints
and crevices of bedsteads. Brush all
the cracks in the kitchen floor and in
the baseboards with this mixture. A
cement of chloride of lime and alum,
used to stop rat holes, and the walls
and cracks and corners washed with
hot alum, with borax added, will drive
away rats and mice as we'll as insects"

An exchange thus analyses and de-
fines a smile. Such little thing, and
yet meaning SO much. Some thing that
can be so easily produced, and yet SO
full of value. Who does not love a
smile? Who does not feel better for
having given it, and who is not happier
at receiving? "a smile! Nothing on
earth can smile but the race man.
Gems may flash reflected light; but
what is diamond flash compared with
an eye flash and mirth flash? Flowers
can not smile. That is charm which
even they can not claim. Birds can
not smile, nor any living thing. 1t is
the prerogative of man. 1t is the
color which love wears, and cheerful
ness, and joy-these three. 1t is the
light in the window of the face, by
which the heart signifies that it is at
home, and waiting to entertain friends.
A face that can not smile is like bud
that can not blossom and dries up on
the stalk. Laughter is day, and So
briefly is night, and smile is the twi-
light that hovers gently between both,
and more bewitching than either.''

The Greensboro Record makes the
following suggestion to young ladies,
which is worthy Of thoughtful consider
alton, however lightly some may re-
gard the matter of which it speaks.
Here it is: sit may be an old fashioned
idea, but an engagement seems to US
to be but one step removed from a
marriage. Do not enter into such a
contract unless the man is to be to YOU
the only one in the world. A woman
can not be too loyal to her betrothed,

IN his power by asking her to be his
wife, and she should feel it such and
conduct herself in his absence in such
way as to win respect for herself and
envy for him.''
