! ~ an evening when 1t is not occupied
We had huge net woven and hired
fishers at public expense, to fill it ono
morning every week. The housekecp-
ers gather about it, choose what they
like and take it home without cost. The
rest OF the fish are turned back into the
river.
THE GREAT ORCHARD.
"But what they like best is the great
orchard of 200 acres, filed with fruit
trees brought from all quarters OF the
world. This is irrigated by the water
discharged from the power wheels, and
the rich sand makes every tree yield
beautifully. This is open to all the
town, and every day in the year you
can see the housewives gather in the APP
pies, pears, peaches. plums, apricots,
grapes, berries and other fruits that
ripen in that wonderful climate every
month in the year. 1t is public prop
erty, and each gathers what she prefers.
SAT IL O'clock Saturday night, the
crash and clang of the machinery is
still, to remain quiet for whole day.
The miners go home to rest, and on
Sunday nearly every man in town goes
to some church, Episcopal, Methodist,
Baptist or Presbyterian as he may
choose. You cannot find more Chris
tian people in the whole world than
among these people who were almost
less than eight years ago.
1T is PROFITABLE SCHEME.
"Has the mining company prospered?
Certainly. We went there TO make
money. Our plant has cost US $2,000,-
200, but it is one of the most profitable
ever made in the world.
We have no trouble with strikes. Our
employees are honest and faithful be-
ieve they wond die for the company,
uch is their loyalty. The mine is msD-
lged on scientific principles, and no
money is spared when it is needed
Nhe dividends have been enormous,
md the property now is worth far more
han it cost. We have enough ore in
light now for three years and believe
he mine will last for quarter of CEN
nry. Besides the great dividends the
rofts have accumulated in large
hiking fund that will be devoted to ee-
ablishing some new enterprise if
opportunity can be found"

Everybody knows the pretty little
forget me- not and likes the flower more
perhaps because of its name than its
beauty. How was it 80 called? The
Germans account for it by quite a
pathetic romance. 1t seems that once
upon time knight and lady were
walking by the bank of the Danube,
when the latter asked her "gallant
gay" to pluck for her tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.
No sooner said than done, but the
knight, overbaancing, fell into the
river, and, owing to the slippery nature
of the bank and the weight of his own
armor, WAS carried away by the current.
AS he threw the flowers ashore to his
lady be cried out with his last breath,
"Vegiss mein deichtW (Forget-me
notify And ever since the flower
has been looked upon as the emblem of
fidelity.

Good Things to Know.

A few drops of myrrh in a wineglass
OF water will work wonders in the way
of sweetening the breath.
| Continual bathing of the face in hot
water--not warm at night will tend to
remove wrinkles, and will eradicate
| black heads.
Glycerine and lemon juice soften and
whiten the skin. Mixed in equal pro-
portions it is an excellent remedy for
chapped hands.
Scars may be removed or made less
conspicuous by daily application of
hot olive oil, rubbing the oil into the
skin with the tips of the fingers.
Far an oily skin the following nix
tnre is recommended Two ounces of
eau de cologne, a quarter of an ounce of
spirit Of rosemary, half az ounce OF oil
of almonds, ten drops of carbolic acid.
Only put in the face bath as a rince, a
drop or two of this lotion 10 an ounce or
more of water
10 keep the face clean without the use
OF soap make little bag of cheese cloth
and fill it with bran, oatme cal or almond
and when you wash your face use this
bag in the place of soap. When the bag
is dried it may be utilized again if the
meal is almond, but where oat meal is
used 1t should be renewed every day.
To cure a sly, take the white of an egg
on saucer and rubinto it a small pinch
Of powdered alum. 1t will become a

muslin lawn and bind it over the eye
before retiring for the night. In the
morning the sty will be gone, or much
better. One more application will be
ufficient, and no more sites will come.

and other places would suffer immeas-
ureably. Many banks would be COM
PEELED to withdraw their charters; some
of them would fail, as some of the Sc

good when taken as collateral, would
not be worth the paper upon which

One half of the hotels would lock their

and thousands of failures would necss-
sarily follow. Farmers, gardeners,
dairymen, and others who had here

mining districts would be utterly

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in anyway like the
oysters which we eat. 1t is of an en-
tIrely different species, and as matter
OF fact the shells of the so called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
mere are extensive pearl fisheries in
the gulf of California, and some of the
finest pearls have been taken from
those waters. In 1881 one pearl-a

every year since that time many pearls
have been taken from the beds in the
gulf of California valued at over 81, 800

ROAD TO HEAVEN
A Land Where There is no
Sorrow.
It is an Old Mining Town With a
Population of 5000.

Among the many great mining camps
OF Australia, whose fame makes even
the miners of the northwest uneasy and
envious, none is more famous or better
known here than Beulah, the beautiful
little city at the entrance Of the great
tunnel driven by the Heresford mining
company about ninety miles from Sidney
in New South Wales. Not only is it
famous for the vast ore bodies which
cannot be exhausted in a score of years
or for the rapid dividends which have
added millions to the wealth. of the
three men who own the mine.
1t is famous as the only great mining
camp in the world where drunken
man or an unchaste woman is never
seen; where an oath is never heard;
where there are no strikes and no crime
committed; where the great engines
never move on the Sabbath day; where
divorce laws are unk nown; where there
is never vagrant nor pauper, but all
is peaceful industry, comfort and hap
piness.
1t is famous for the wisdom of it's
government, and for the great free in
situations, the libraries, baths, theaters
and even orchards and gardens that
have been dedicated to the use of all
the people. And yet, but for the efforts
Of one man this beautiful spot would |
still be the arid wilderness it was eight
years ago.

WHEN WHEY FIRST CAME.

I shall never forget that shipload OF
emigrants we met at Sydney. They
were wretched pauIers, ill-clad and ig-
norant wretches, whose one JOY had
been keeping dead drunk until all the
liquor on the ship was gone. Black
eyes and broken noses were everywhere
and one big red-shirted ruffian boasted
that be bad whipped every man, woman
and child on the ship.
Between two lines of armed police
we marched them through Sydney and
stopped their clamor for whisky by
promising them all the drink they
wanted at Beulah. When they arrived
and found that we meant no drink but
water, their rage was terrible. But
there they were, and they had to go to
work.
With no saloons or gambling houses
they could not help saving money, and
in year they had ceased 10 grumbIe.
The men spent their evenings at bone
With their families. The women, who
came half barefoot and clad in their
one scanty dress began to assume the
appearance of prosperous matrons. |
Churches were built, and as no work is
lone after Saturday at midnight, for
whole day, they went to church regu-
arly. The children went to school and
earned what books were, and in an
'ther year we were ready for the second
argo.

said to the Spokane Chronicle:
"In the summer of 1885 1 was placed

4 Strange Series OF Condolences about the
White House and North Carolina
Household.
1Charlotte News |

Mr.. Charley H. Caldwell, Of Crab
Orchard township, says they eau all
say just what they please, but he is
nearer like President Cleveland than
any other man living. And when the
facts on which he bases his belief are
known, nearly everybody will agree
that he is right.
On the very same day and year that
President Cleveland married Miss Fol-
som, Mr.. Caldwell married Miss Ella
Neal. On the same day that President
Cleveland's first daughter was born,
Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell had born unto
them daughter; and before they
learned that Baby Ruth had been
named, they named their own daugh-
ter Rebecca. On the very same day
that President Cleveland's second
daughter was born, Mrs. Caldwell pre-
sented Mr.. Caldwell with daughter,
and not waiting for the White House
baby to be named, christened their
child ESTHER"
Mr.. Caldwell says if any county or
state in the United States can beat this
hevouId like for the parties to be trotted
ent. So far he and Mecklenburg are
ahead.

An Interesting Problem.

There was once a wise King who was
very CIRCUS. He was possessed OF a
desire to know everything, and was
continually asking questions. Indeed,
his thirst for knowledge carried him so
far that ho wanted to know the age of
every person he met. But being King,
he was exceedingly polite, and would
resort to strategy to gain bis ends.
One day there came to the court gray
haired professor, who amused the king
greatly. he told the monarch number
OF things that he never knew before, and
the king was delighted. But finally it
came to the point when the ruler wanted
to know the age OF the professor, SO he
thought of mathematical problem.
"Ahem~ said the king II have an inter-
estine sum for you; it is trial in men
tai arithmetic. Think of the number OF
the month of your birth
Now, the professor was sixty years old,
and had been born two days before
Christmas, so he thought OF -. Decenn-
ber being the twelfth month.

"Add 115."

@And now," said the king, might I ask
what the result is?"
"Twelve hundred and sixty" replied
the professor, wonderingly.
"Thank you,,' was the kings response.
$50 you were born in December sixty
years ago, eh?"
"How in the world did you know?"
cried the professor.
"Why," retorted the king, from answer
1850. The month of your birth was
the twelfth, and the last two figures give
your age"
"Ha, ha, har' laughed the professor.
"Capital idea. I'll try it on the next
person meet It's such polite way Of
finding out peoples ages"

Nothing I.ifelike bat the Portrait.
T From the Washington Post.


A little story of Senator Blackburn's
own telling is floating around in ex-
elusive circles. There is to be seen in
several plate-glass windows a rather
fine but high-colored chrome, contain
ing a race course scene, with Secretary
Carlisle, Proctor Knott, and Senator
Blackburn in club foreground, the
whole affair being an exploitation of
the product of a well-known Blue
Grass distillery. One day Senator
Blackburn was met at home by his
wife and daughters, who with face Of
suppressed merriment told him that
very fine picture that would please
him had just come by express and was
in the hall. He went and looked, and
10: the chrome. A case of the goods
came along in its company. A chorus
of feminine vetoes went up when he
took revenge by saying that it was
good and he would have it hung up in
the library. The rext day letter came
from the distlller saying that Mr.. Car
Isle and Proctor Knott had given their
consent to the use of their portraits,
and that be had taken the liberty OF
using Senator Blackburn's without
consulting him, believing that he
would not object. The Senator made
the following reply:
DEAR SIR: You have taken great
liberty in using my portrait in your
chrome without first asking my con-
sent, but I forgive you, since it is the
best portrait Of me that I have ever
seen. But allow me to call your attsn-
ton to serious anomaly in the COM
position of the work Of art. You have
put me on Kentucky race course with
NV back to a driving finish and my
hand on bottle Of the worst whiskey
that was ever distilled.
