them to study the statements and
draw some practical aud useful con.
cluslons. If the South grows sc
many fruits and vegetables, as il
does, suitable for canning; and il
there is growinn demand for fucIl
goods, as there Is, why can we not
have the goods manufactured here

mert in the further statement that
''it is becoming fashion not to
drink" and no end of meaning IN
the declaration that "the men who
do not drink are the men who DO
the greatest things in this worlds
AFFAIRS" There are many things
for men to ponder in their hearts IN
the short but meaty paragraph re-
ferred to, and there is the sugges.
ton OF much hope in it for Us as a
people. We are getting more
sober. It Is true that it is becon-
ing rather fashion not to drink.

THE DEHoCRAT takes pleasure IN
printing the paragraph about the
Presidents good sense in looking
foI men VINO 90 not drink to fill the
positions of trust in the govern
ment. We take great pleasure also
in reprinting the foregoing timely
remarks by the able and sensible
editor of the Charlotte Observer.
If Nr. CleveIand!had Coined all
the temperance organizations in
the country he might have exerted
a powerful influence for the cause
OF temperance thereby; but his
declaration that he will not place
any man who drinks in a position
OF trnst, has loud, clear ring for
temperance that will beg heard all
around this continent.
His position on the question is
sound and right, and let him stick
to it, popular or unpopular, which
he will be pretty apt to do.

1t is not expected that North
Carolina will secure many large
plums; but the distribution of the
smaller ones will probably be on a
more liberal scale than eight years
ago. The best judgment seems to
be that the State will have to he

Possibly besides these there will

What American Painters Earn.

Less than twenty years ago member
of the National Academy of Design de-
clared that he knew positively that there
were but ten artists in New York who
were making as much as $1,000 year
by their art. Times have changed. We
hear good deal about the craze for
foreign pictures and the neglect of native
painters, but all the same there are not
q few Of the natives who are making
good living, and by the sale of their pict-
hres too.
Several are reputed to make S25, 900 a
year, and good many live at rate of
1t least $40, 900 without falling into debt
belonging to clubs, owning country
houses and yachts, paying exorbitant
rents for studios and furnishing them
with splendor. Some of the best paying
commissions that local painters receive
are those for panels, ceilings and other
decorative work for New York houses.

The Black Swailower.

What a terrible, no rible animal
tiger would be were it able to swal-
low from eight to twelve times its
own bulk! 1t seems impossible that
there can be any creature able to do
this and yet, far down in the depths
of the southern seas, there lives a
fish known as the black swallower,
which can swallow whole fish eight
to twelve times larger than itself
Happily for the other inhabitants
of the, sea the black swallower is rare,
there being but three known speci-
mems in the museums of the world,
In appearance it is slender, elon-
gated fish of uniform thickness, from
eight inches to foot in length. The
skin is without scales, the head
somewhat cone-shaped, narrowing
forward.
It's fms end in spines, thus pre-
venting it from becoming a dainty
morsel for other fishes. The mouth
is that of monster; it is very deeply
cleft, extending behind the eyes, and
armed with many long, sharp-pointed
and movable teeth. Such is it's APP
pearance with an empty stomach.
Going about in search of food 1t
espies another fish many times larger
than itself. IL darts upon this fish
from behind seizes the tail, and
gradually craws over the struggling
victim with its jaws, using first one
and then the other. AS the captive
| is taken in, the stomach and integ-
ments stretch out, until at last the
entire fish is passed through the
mouth into the stomach.
Then the distended organ appears
as a great bag projecting out far
backward and far forward. Over
this horrible bag, and resting on it.
| the swallower seems to lie; the lower
fins appear dislocated and lie fal
away from their usual position.
The walls Of the stomach have beer
so stretched that they are transpar
ent, and the species of fish within
can be discerned. Sometimes, three
times at least, such rapidity is more
than the captor can stand. The FISH
within the stomach begins to decom
pose and gas is created. The blacl
swallower is forced over on its back
when the imprisoned gas, as in
balloon, takes it upward from thu
depths to the surface Of the sea
Thus have the three specimens beef
found floating on the surface, thous
ands of fathoms above their tru
haunts. In each instance the fish
in the stomach has been about twic
as long as the swallower, and iron
six to twelve times bulkier.

Pleasure.

Society is not, and ought not be,
exclusively devoted to serious con-
Germs. The benefcent Creator Of the
universe would not have adapted hui
man beings to the enjoyment Of his
gifts unless he intended that they
should be enjoyed. With the law
which enjoins industry comes the law
of fruition. Why should the eye be
formed to perceive natural and arti-
fetal beauty If it is not to be used
for that purpose?
Why has the capacity to make in
struments capable of emitting sweet
sounds been given If such sounds are
not to be heard? Why should the
human structure be capable of the
sweetest melody, and Of graceful &C
tion, and of the delightful express
sion beaming from innocent and
heavenly countenances, If pleasures
from such sources were forbidden us?
Why does the grape ripen, the silk
worm toll the annual fleece return,
the diamond sparkle, the marble
geld to the chisel and the canvas
catch and preserve the inspiration of
genius, but to waken human desire,
animate industry, and reward with
fruition? 1t is the excess and the
abuse which are forbidden.

Gus positions, with its irner end
against the side Of the glass, until
we find that we can maintain the
glass in a horizontal position by
means of the rod of wood without
any additional support.
This done, we place in an upright
glass the opposite end of the rod and
vary the degree of its inclination to
the glass until we find that it catches
against the sides and holds fast, the
upper glass being thereby supported
as shown. We take care, meanwhile,
to keep the other hand on the foot of
the glass that is on the table, other
wise the weight of the second glass
the center of gravity OF the COM
bination-lying so far outside its
base, would naturally upset it. BY
placing second rod in the lower
glass and hanging the third glass on
to this we re-establish the equi-
librium. and may then safely leave
the combination to support itself.
This experiment is within the
reach of everybody. 1t is quite pos
sible, with three rods and little ex
ira skill, to make one glass support
three others in the same way.

he increased to 400, with working
dairy OF 300 cows.
The world is standing on tiptoe
trying to approximate the speed OF
the future horse, but the amount OF
food that is to be given to the future
cow and the amount of milk and but
ter to come from her is very great
economical question.
Nowhere yet have civilized men
settled so near to each other that the
cow does not thrive. In England,
France, and Germany she keeps pace
with the civilization about her. The
more nervous and intelligent the peo-
pie grow the firmer grows the COW.
The more populous the community
becomes the richer and more milk
and butter does she yield, notwith-
standing the fact that the meadows
and hay fields are gradually becom-
ing smaller The growth and per-
lection of the COW is one of the
greatest economical triumphs OF the
present civilization, for she is one OF
the chief agencies Of its existence,
and he who can continue the inn
provement of the COW is no less than
a benefactor of his time.

its prestige in this respect, and that
Illinois, Wisconsin and Canada were |
producing better butter and selling 1t
in this city for not more than half a
cent pound advance over the New
York State product. The market
preferred the Canadian and western
product, and the dairy farms in the
State were not making more than
expenses. The Western meadows
contained more plant food, and the
same breed of cows would yield a
fourth more butter. The West had
better meadows and the railroads In
its favor, and the Eastern farmers
must set about to scientifically meet
the competition Of their Western RI
walls or abandon their old farms as
New England farmers had done In
their unsuccessful attempt to raise
grain, ETC., in competition with the
West. 1t has therefore been a life
and death struggle with a great agri-
cultural industry that has contrib
uted so largely to making the Empire
State in population and wealth.
x, New York Dairy Products.
A few years ago the State Dairy
mems Association established a mum
Der of dairy conferences or schools,
where the farmers were scientifically
taught how TO produce the best milcf
cows, the greatest yield of milk an'
the finest butter.
These schools and this compulsor,
scientific study to the chief farming
interest of the State have had tn
result Of partially re-establishing tn
prestige OF dairy farming. tn
farmers certainly have the best cows
II not the best meadows, the bes
stables and the best creameries o
the country. A dairy farmer OF niue
intelligence knows Just how to bree
good cows and what to feed theI
upon to secure the greatest and be:
yield OF milk and butter, but how
make his land produce the foo
products necessary for such yield
has given him no little though
