PERHAPS YOU KNOW IT.

Do you know that to drive away ants
chalk line drawn around the article
to be protected is simple but effective
remedy? A good plan is to draw the
line around the vessel, and be sure that
there is no break in it.
Washing ginghams in water slightly
thickened with flour starch is said to
be an excellent idea.
A small box of quick lime kept in
the pantry will tend to keep the air
pure.
A little ammonia i'll the water will
be found very effective in washing
greasy frying pans and such ware.
You will find it to your advantage to
keep box of powdered borax on the
sink shelf. A little added to the water
in which dish towels are washed will
help much to keep them clean; what is
of equal Importance, it will keep the
hands soft and smooth.
A good furniture polish may be made
by putting equal parts of spirits OF
wine, vinegar and olive oil in large
bottle and shaking thoroughly every
day for week, when it will be ready
for use. This polish should be applied
to the furniture with a soft wooden
cloth and thoroughly rubbed. If the
furniture is very dirty it may be rub
bed clean with a wooden cloth dipped
in kerosene.
1t is worth knowing, because cheap
or easily procured, that one-third tur-
pentine and two thirds sweet oil makes
an excellent furniture polish.
Do you know that the ordinary way
of placing an umbrella ON its point to
drain is all wrong? The water collects
about the center and rusts the ribs and
rots the silk. The proper way, when
through putting aside an umbrella, is
to place it in the rack with the handle
down.

KEEPING THE MOUTH CLEAN.

Keeping the mouth clean from in
fancy until the termination of life's
journey should be habit so firmly fixed
by constant practice in infancy and
childhood that it will not be likely to
be neglected in after life. In the air
around are floating the germs of vari
GUS diseases-consumpti pneumonia,
malaria, diphtheria, thrush, tonsilitis
and the like. If the mouth is healthy
and its secretions normal, these disease
germs are destroyed there, and thus
they are prevented from entering the
deeper tissues of the body. But swol-
len, sodden gums, decaying teeth, tar
tar and morbid catarrhal discharges,
all form so many centers for germ Gull
ture and avenues for the entrance of
morbid matter into the tissues. The
enlarged scrofulous glands of so many
children and youth, resulting in I'M
slightly scars and Disagreement, are
usually caused by tuberculous germs,
which enter the Emphatic glands of
the neck from enlarged tonsils, decayed
teeth or suppurating ears.
In thrush, the baby's mouth is filled
with tiny plants resembling yeast fer
ment. The borax wash displaces,
cleanses and destroys these minute
plants, and thus cures the disease
Cavities, even in the first teeth, should
be filled as soon as discovered. Tooth
brush and powder should be used freely
and frequently, and the mouth rinset
out with pnre water. Enlarged ton
sils should be treated or removed. Alb
scesses of the ear should be treated b.
cleanliness and disinfection, so as t.
heal them as soon as possible. Con
sulting the dentist early may save
set of teeth, the glands of the neck, AM
} even life itself, for when tubercula
germs have once gained entrance int
5 the body, there is scarcely limit t
? their devastation. Good Health.

MARKETING FRUIT.

The following is portion of the re-
port made by President Fairbanks at
the ninth annual meeting of the Flor
ida Fruit Exchange, held last month:
"We have now had an experience of
nine years in marketing citrus fruits,
and that amount of experience should
teach us the value or want of value of
our plants and methods. We have al
ways desired to adopt any suggestions
Of plans which would be likely to bene-
fit the fruit-growers. When we organ
lied the exchange all Florida fruits
were sold by consignment through COM
mission merchants, with a general feel
ing of dissatisfaction.
eve began by carefully investigat-
ing all existing methods of marketing
fruit. We found that for more than
half a century all foreign fruits brought
to this country were sold at open auc-
ton. We learned further that in all
the great markets abroad all fruit was
disposed of similarly at auction, and
we did not believe that such method
of sale would have been adpoted and
persisted in unless for good and sub
stantial reasons The open auction
system of sale has now been extended
to all the large cities-and California
fruits Of all descriptions are sold by
auction. If the system was bad one
it would have been long ago aban,
doned.
CITRUS fruits are both bulky and
perishable, and to avoid storage, cart
age, repacking and other charges, it is
desirable that they should be speedily
sold when they are in their best condl
ton. The commission system is com
petition OF sellers, the profit made is IL
the amount handled and the effort is tt
sell at some price and get back advances
for freight or money. The auction sys
tenn brings about a competition OF buy
ers, with quick sales and quick returns
with small expenses. The safety IN thu
auction system lies in there being NJ
opportunity for dishonesty, and expert
ence has shown that there is no DANCE
of combinations We therefore still
adhere to the sale by auction, tirml,
convinced that it is by far the bes
method of marketing fruits.
"It would be very desirable to reduc
the cost of production and cheaper GU
packing and transportation. We re
duced the commission to s per cent
some years ago, which is the only com
mission charged the grower. Out c
this commission Of per cent, we pa

reaches our hands until returns al

AFRICAN DIAMONDS.

The African diamond fields are in the
Orange Free State, where there is one
important mine at Jagersfonstein, and
in the British colony of Griqua Land
West, where there are four. OF these,
the best known are the Kimberley mine
and the De Beers, the latter OF which
was so admirably illustrated in last
summers Columbian Exhibition.
1t is but twenty-five years since the
gems were discovered on the Dark Con-
tincnt, and the value Of the annual
yield now exceeds $40, 100000. 1t is
interesting to note that notwithstand-
ing these large quantities are mined
and that diamonds have been so sue
cessfully initiated, their value has not
declined more than dollar a carat.
The South African mines have yielded
larger stones than any found in Brazl
or India. Some of them are OF vel
low tint, and therefore of low value
but the De Beers diamond (428 y car
ats, and the Jagersfontein (9691a car
ats, the last found less than year age
are perfectly white. These weights ar
for the rough diamonds, but the Kohl
moor weighed only 1872 carats, and wa
reduced by cutting to 1927 carats.
The Kimberley mine has been worke
to depth of 400 feet, and vertic;
shafts have now superseded the incline
: ones formerly used as means OF 81
trance.
The quantity and value of the Afr
can gems in the market have mat
great changes in the diamond trad
The Brazilian gravels are now workt
very little, as are the fields in Ind
; and Borneo. London is the diamol
y market of the world.

It is unjust that the State should have the use of convicts and the county pay the costs of conviction. A case in view is that of a young negro sent up recently from this county for twenty-one years. The county had to pay the costs of lis con- viction and the State gets his labor, whicd should be of great value for this long term of years.
