Millions for Defense

Against the inroads of that subtle, lurking
foe to human health, malaria, had been eX-
pended uselessy when Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters appeared upon the scene and dem
onstrated its powers as preventive and
curative Of the dreaded scourge. When the
''gold fever" ragged in 1S49 in California,
malaria was contemporaneous with it at the
'diggings,' and wrought dreadful havoc
among the miners. Then and subsequently
on the ISthmus of Panama, and wherever in
the tropics malarial disease is most viru-
lent, the BitterS became the recognized
safeguard For the effects Of exposure and
fatigue, masma- poisoned air and water,
sea sickness and all disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, the Bitters affords
prompt relief. Invalds of all sorts will find
it fully adequate to their needs.

with thoughts of their presents, brides

of a lover who swears they are perfection.

BACHELOR HOUSEKEEPING.

He is a bachelor pro ten,
His wife's away.
And meanwhile-you can make men,
Life isn't play.
He sleeps in all the beds in turn.
Twould make his wife's face SET and stern
If she could see how things are mussed
Since she Went off. in placid trust
That things would stay where they wer
left
While her dear hubby was bereft
The bureau drawers are half pulled out,
With shirts and socks strewn all about
The floor, because he tried one day
To find shirt she'd put away.
The paror hasn't once been swept,
His old cigar stumps he has kept
Upon the center table, where
Out in the kitchen in a pile
Are the dishes gathered, while
Her INDECENT. though loving spouse
Has been a bachelor keeping house.
The pile will grow without doubt
AS long as the supply holds out;
Then he'll brace up when need confrontS,
And wash the whole lot up at once.
The whole house has a musty air
OF stale tobacco; everywhere
Newspapers litter up the floor
And | could tell you Of much more
Which. if his dear wife knew of it,
Would make her fall down in q iii.
oh. things have gone to wreck and wrack
While she's away,
And you can bet when she comes back
Life won't be play.

On the Fourth of July, 1904, Cen
eral Hamilton sang, for the last time,
his famous and fayorite ballad, "The
Drum" Upon that memorable occa-
sion Alexander Hamilton and Aaron
Burr met face to face for the last time
but one. 1t was at the annual banquet
of the Society Of the Cincinnati, o.
which the former was the honored
president and the latter an eminent
member.
General Hamilton was observed to
be cheerful, and even merry. As the
evening wore away he was pressed to
sing his usual song, which was then
known as The Ballad and Drum. 1t
was noticed that Hamilton seemed less
ready than common to comply with
the request of the guests, but after
some urging, he made answer. "Well,
you shall have it, if you wish. He
then sang the ballad in his best style,
to the delight Of the Old Contnentals
who made up the festive company.
Colonel Burr, on the contrary, was
haughtily reserved, mingled but little
with his friends, and appeared to shun
all intercourse with the president of
the society. II was also remembered
aftcrward, and has been credibly
handed down, that, when Hamilton
began to sing, Burr turned directly
toward him, with one arm resting on
the supper table. and gazed intently
at the singer, as though buried in pro-
found thought or immersed in deep
fit OF abstraction. He remained thus
immovablo until the ballad was ended.
Little did those present suspect the
deadly import Of that look. Hamilton
paid no attention to Burr's stony stare.
but rendered his song with perfect
composure and careful expression. 1t
would be curious TO guess what was
passing through Buyr's mind while
his familiar comrade in the fellowship
of camp and battle was thus employed
in contributing his efforts to the con-
vivialties of the evening. Did the red
wine in the social glass assume a
deeper dye in the eyes of the iron
colonel and bring before his mind the
tragic possibilities of the even then
projected duel? And had the genial
Hamilton any premonition of his own
impendiug Lippincott.

A Dronth.Resisting Grass.

In reply to an inquiry about Switel
grass, DIR. Lamson Scribner, agrosto-
logist of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, writes us This
is tall native perennial growing to
the height of three to five feet. It's
range appears to be from the Atlantic
coast to the Rocky mountain region.
The young plants furnish good graz
ing for stock, and if cut when coming
into bloom, it makes very good hay.
At maturity the stems become hard
and nearly useless for fodder. Where
it has been tried in the west experi-
mentally, it has been found to resist
drouth to remarkable degree, and
the reports concerning its value in the
arid regions are very favorable TO Its
culture. At the Tennessee experiment
station, where l had a small patch of
it, it certainly did very we'll indeed.

May, as fine as any grass l had under
cultivation. My impression in regard
to the grass is that it has little value
in the east, but may serve a very use

Effect Of Perfumes.

1t is curious and interesting fact
that perfumes have a peculiar and
sometimes extremely unpleasant effect
on many persons. When room has
been closed up with some varieties OF
flowers in it, there are persons who
will faint upon sitting down for any
time in the apartment
The tubcrose, although most beau
tiful flower, is steadily going ont of
fashion because of its odor 1t is SO
oppressive that it makes some people
Ill, and is unwelcome to all but very
small number of individuals Almost
every one likes the perfume of roses
and, when iudiciously used, this is ono
of the best of standard scents. Those
who have put away rose petals during
the summer months will find the fol-
lowing an excellent way to make the
rose-jars that most women like to keep
in their apartments
Take one ounce of cloves, two ounces
of lavender flowers, two ounces of Gin
namon and one and one-half ounces of
mace and two ounces of allspice, all
ground to very fine powder. Then
put into a rose-jar holding quart
layer of the dried rose petals and
sprinkling of the powder, then another
layer of the petals and powder, filling
the jar up with alternate layers. A
couple of drops of sandal oil and
sprinkling of orauge-fower water may
be added; then the jar should be
tightly covered and set away for few
days, when it is ready for use.
1t is a good plan to paste a paper
over the mouth of the jar before the
cover is put on, and turn the jar bot.
tom upward in some safe corner. New

The Million.
The Growth of Southern Towns.
A recent report issued by the cen
sus department shows that since 1860
the city and town population OF the
South has increased at much greater
rate than the agricultural population.
III sixteen Southern States our total
urban population in 1860 was only
/, 5O9, 292. In 1890 it was 5,G75, 252,
IN Increase of 276 per cent. In these
States in 1860 the agricultural popu-
lation was 10, SOC, OIL, and in 1890 1t
was 16, 772, ,912, an increase of 50. 2l
per cent. So it will be seen that III
three decades since the war the In
crease of our urban population has
been five times greater than that OF
our agricultural population.
The tendency Of the Southern peo-
pie to mas. themselves in the cities
and towns will be regretted by many
lovers of the Old South, but it is an
indication of our rapid industrial pro
gress. A generation ago this was not
manufacturing section. Agricui-
ture was our leading interest, and the
easy conditions of those days made
rural life more attractive than city
life.
But in the past thirty years there
has been a great change in the statn

naces, mills and factories are spring

pie TO the towns, and it is safe to sa
that the growth Of cotton manufactur
ing in this region will cause the move

to the towns to continue for som
, time to come.
