News in General.

Topeka. KANs., Jan. 80, 1893.
The senate adjourned on Friday at
u o'clock until Monday at 1, also the
railroad representatives at the same
time. The House held an afternoon
session and while in session were Wis
tied by the Hon. James B. Weaver. of
Iowa, who was introduced to the
House and made short speech. His
appearance in the House and his re-
marks were greeted with applause.
The House then adjourned until Sat
urday morning and after the intro
ductiOn of several bills, adjourned
until Monday at 5 o'clock.
The two Houses are as far apart ap-
parently as they were at the begin
ming of the session, with no outward
sign of a reconciliation. The Popu-
list House has been recognized by the
governor and senate and the Repub-
iicans might as well give up and 60
home or come over to the PopullSt
House. They had the offer made
chem to settle at their own terms and
that was unanimously refused" by
the railroad representatives. So, the
reader can plainly see that they dc
not want to reconcile the two Houses
The election of John Martin to thu
U. 5. senate caused good deal o.
talk at first that it would be the
means of splitting the POpulists and
that at the next election there would
be fusion and an anti-fusion ticket
put in the field. This argument is
getting weaker and weaker and il
will be but short time until the
most radical will give up that the
representatives did the best that
could be done under existing circum
stances and that Mr.. Martha is a Pop
uliSt at heart and a Democrat il
name.
Treasurer Biddle has as yet moi
taken his seat, as the examining
board have not doLe their work in the
treasury department, but will hay,
charge by Thursday and that will put
the entire state in the hands of the
people, where it rightly belongs, anC
the state house ring, some of whom
have been in for the past twent,
years, will have to seek other fields
as their occupation is gone.
The House has already discovered
several hidden skeletons, which in al
probability will be given an airing al
the proper time. Some OF the skele
tons are pretty old and musty, while
Others are not very ancient.
Treasurer Biddle gave a bond O,
$4,000 more than the state called for
making a bond of sl,OsO,OOO. How i,
that for farmer? There never wa,
such bond given in the state by an,
man or corporation as that given b,
Biddle.
On the adjournment of the senat.
several of the members went home
while Others lived too far away to %
for the short recess.

Eyaporated Sweet Potatoes.

Few people know how easily sweet
potatoes can be dried, even in the sun,
and how handy and useful the dried po-
tatoes are. At best sweet potatoes are
a troublesome crop to keep, but when
dried or cured in an evaporation they
are really no trouble to keep and are
always at hand for use on the table at
short notice. They should be sliced and
then evaporated. Then to use them
they are soaked to restore the evapora-
ted moisture and then baked in pans as
the fresh ones often are. They are an
admirable article for buildings and pies.
For this purpose it would be better to
grind them into meal and put up in
packages with directions for making
buildings. Put up in this way it ought
not to be much trouble to create a mar
ket for the dried sweet potatoes. If an
evaporating plant would but under
take the putting up of the sweet potato
meal in packages the article would sell
well. Grocerymen are slow to take
hold of such products in the crude eva
porated state, but in such packages,
with few attractive hand-bills and a
lot of receipts for making the many de-
icious preparations that can be made
from sweet potatoes, a market could
soon be made for product that Eastern
North Carolina can supply in limitless
quantities. Who Will start this en-
terprise? w. f. Massey n. G. Expert
ment Station.

Marketing stock for Beef.

Much of the stock carried to markets
for sale is poor or not more than half
fat. In this condition it is unfit for the
butchers use and brings but a small
price. The same animal fed six or
twelve weeks will be much heavier and
at the same time will be worth more
per pound. 1t will also have left ferti-
lizer of great comparative value as a
result of the fattening.
Bulletin 81 of the Experiment Sta
ton, distributed some time ago, shows
some of the benefits of this kind OF
feeding. More work in the same line
will soon be reported. There is small
profit in this feeding which farmers
can not afford to lose. They must con-
slider the matter and put it into practice
or lose entirely the best markets. Most
of the good beef is now raised and fed
outside of the state and shipped here,
instead of as should be, shipments of
good beeves going from this state.
Why can we not supply home markets
with salablc products of good quality in
this line in sufficient quantity to supply
the demand? il cn1 D, =, ~. }atet
well the stock IL &c sold and watch III
market for the best price and sec to j
that the stock Is rs fat as desirable
Then it will bring the most per pound
and weigh the heaviest. +. E. Emery

damascus.
The following account of the burn
ing of the great Mosque at Damas
Gus is taken from a Syrian paper, the
translation being done by Alex Daye,
a Syrian of this city.
The Amawie Mosque, the oldest
and largestin Damascus, was burned
Oct. 18th, late in the afternoon. The
mosque was under repair and work
men were mending the roof when the
fire originated probably by spark.
The day was windy and the timber
dry so that in a short time the mag
nificent place of worship was reduced
to heap of ashes over the grave OF
St. John of Damascus who was in
tered I'M this Mosque. Aided by the
strong wind, the fire spread and con
sumed about $50 Buildings with
loss of about 100000. exclusive of
the loss on the Mosque, its antiques
and its relics which were valued at
many millions. Thegrandeur of this
Mosque cannot be replaced, though
the Sultan of Turkey on hearing of
the loss appointed a commission to
have it rebuilt.
The original was of solid marble.
The main building was 4S9 feet long
by 321 feet wide with an annex 431
by 125 feet. The large dome in the
center was supported by four beauti
full pillars OF marble. The mosque
contained three monasteries one of
which had O. height of $50 feet.

New Gold Mining Company.

The Argo GoldMining Company, of
Rocky Mount, N. c., has succeeded
the Mann-Arrington Syndicate, and
is placing in the mines 2O-stamp
mill, with immense crushers, auto
matte feeders, etc. In addition to
these is a steam shovel with a capa-
city of 1000 cubic yards a day. So
heavy are these pieces Of machinery
that railroad is being specially con-
structed from Nashville, distance of
ten miles, to convey them to the
mines. The placer-grounds hold a
rich deposit, and, while not exhaust
less, promise rich yield for some
time to come, and hundreds of acres
of the same lands are underlaid by d
deposit of gravel that yield, nearly

The plant is monotropa unif1ora, COM

PHYslCAL TRAINING OF WOMEN.
Gymnassfc Apparatus and Instruc-
lions of the Ladies' Athletic Club.

Physical culture is becoming more
and more popular among women,
and now the Ladies' Athletic Club
has, in response to the suggestion
of many friends, organized a class
for mature women, where light ex-
ercises calculated to produce health
will be given, says the New York Sun
Each mem Der is entitled to a physi-
cal examination under the woman
medical director of the club, who will
advise the proper exercise needed in
each individual case. In the beauti-
for the ladies there is gymnasium
equipped with all desirable apparatus
and appliances for practice, manu-
featured under the direction of DR.. D..
A. Sargent of Harvard. 1t comprises
swimming tanks, a padded running
travk on which eight turns make a
mile, plunge, spray, needle aud all
kinds of baths, bars, ladders,
trapezes, and travelling rings
Among the innovations this year
is hurdle jumping under a regular
instructor, and dry swimming
machine is to be introducedamon the
apparatus That women really en-
Joy athletic exercises as men enjoy
them would be difficult to substanti-
ate, but women. spurred on by their
vanity, and believing that the prac-
tice in the gymnasium will give them
grace and beauty, get up no little
interest and enthusiasm in their
work. One excellent feature of the
( Ladies' Athletic Club is that among
it's classes are many composed of
little girls.

The WAidenses.

The Waldenses who have come to
the State to join the colony in Burke
county, are of the religious sect that
endured severe persecution during
the Middle Ages, and come from the
Piedmont Italy. The colony owns
10000 acres of land in Burke, which
will be divided into farms OF fifty or
one hundred acres and distributed to
the heads of families. 1t is said they
make the best sort of citizens, as
they settle and go to work and 90
not join the idle population of cities.
North Carolina cordially welcomes
such immigrants as these.
