But with the destruction of the hi
metallic standard all this was changed.
The rapid and constant rise in the
price OF gold exchange IN silver stand
ard countries soon doubled the price of
commodities imported from gold stand
ard countries The effect of this was to
force the ASiatc countries. where the
wages of labor and price. in general
have been for centuries and .tijl con-
time AT "A lower level than ever known
among any other p"Ople, to manufacture
for themselves. The price of gold cx-
change having doubled had the same
effect IL increasing the price of imports
from gold standard countries that am
import duty of one hundred per cent
would have.
While India and Japan under the
stimulus thus afforded were developing
their cotton mills until they now supply
the Asiatic demand for cotton warn,
England was uIcha,ing the wheat and
cotton of India paying the same price in
silver as before 1873, and LAYING the
same down in Liverpool at a cost to
them in gold as much below the price of
1873 as silver bullion had fallen below
the mint price under free coinage.

of commodities, chat is, the material,
labor, land-rents, and interest on capital.

THE POULTRY YARD
Among the Poultry.

! See that the nests are dry, well lined
with soft straw and free from lice.
To divide the labor and income of
the poultry yard with the children will
| teach them valuable lessons in business.
No matter if your fowls do have un-
| limited range in the summer, you
should have crushed oyster shells
where they can help themselves.
Finely ground cornmeal moistened
with skim milk is one Of the best mix
lures for fattening poultry for market.
All excitement should be avoided, also
exercise.
Fowls should have something to pick
at and scratch over as soon as they
come off the roost in the morning.
The exercise will sharpen their appe-
tites for the full morning meal.
Dampness is more damaging than
cold, and roup may easily be caused by
slight crack or crevice in the wall,
and a leaky roof will cause disease
whether the birds get wet or not.
Everybody seems to keep Brahma,
and yet the demand for them never
ceases. All the breeders say that they
have had fair trade in that variety.
They should be called s'The Old Reli
able
How do you like to have the melting
snow dripping down in front OF the
chicken house in the yard: We always
build houses that pitch to the rear and
carry off all drainage that way. Are
we right?
The most successful poultry breeders
separate pullets and cockerels as soon
as they are half grown. They develop
better and in all respects do better. A
few quarrelsome cockerels disturb the
peace of whole yard Of fowls.
Don't try to winter your fowls by
feeding in troughs or throwing their
grain feed on the bare floor where they
can readily pick it up. Have heavy
litter of straw for them to scratch in
and let them hunt for the wheat and
corn.
Probably you are thinking of buying
stock to improve and change your own
blood. Don't buy any scrub fowl be-
cause he is cheap. Good stock and
good price 60 together and it will
pay you to give price and get the good
| stock.
As prevention of cholera, feed
twice a week, cornmeal dough, the
water for mixing the dough being pre-
pared by adding teaspoonful of car
bolic acid to each quart of water.
Keep the drinking water clean and
change frequently.
Pork and beef scraps are often
wasted by being fed too literally to
the poultry; thus fed they are an in
jury rather than benefit. Boiled
and made into a mush with vegetables
and meal they are very useful to in
duce early laying when judiciously fed.
Concerning maternal impressions,
there is one point which an amateur
should understand, and that is he can
not breed thoroughbreds from flock
of common fowls and thoroughbreds al
lowed to run together. This has been
tried and found failure. The thor
oughbreds must be separated and
placed in a pen by themselves.

Short Talk On Advertising.

Advertising pays: Newspaper adver-
Using pays best of all. Our most sue
cessful and prosperous merchants and
tradesmen, whose bright record has
added imperishable lustre to the history
of American commerce, can all testify to
this truth from personal experience.
The newspaper is the commercial trav-
eler in city and country home, who tells
at the fireside, to it's evening circle, the
merits OF your wares and merchandise,
il you are wise enough to employ it to
speak for you. IT never is neglected,
never goes unheeded, never speaks to in
attentive or unwilling ears. 1t never
bores. 1t never tires. 1t is always a
welcome visitor and meets Il cordial re-
ceptiOn. 1t speaks when the day is done,
when cares vanish, when the mind at
peace and at rest is in its most receptive
mood. Then it is that its story is told
and all who read treasure what it says,
and are influenced to go where it directs
for the thing Of which it speaks.
What other influences can be SO potent
to help trade as this quiet but powerful
advocate?
Let it become Il salesman in every home
for your wares Let it make its mighty
plea for your benefit. And we assure
you it will do more than all other infu-
ences to promote your business and put
money III your purse.
In our long experience we know whereof
we speak. Try it.

Poultry Raising Mortgages.

A Maine woman tells in Farm and
Home how she lifted a $500 mortgage
from her home by gardening and poul-
try raising. She had common chickens
and sold eggs and market poultry. She
had five 400 notes to meet, paying off
one note each year with interest. At
the end of five years she had her home
cleared and money in the bank. Be-
sides, she had made various improve
ments during this time. schooled and
clothed her children, paid taxes and
insurance, etc. She said she made up
her mind to succeed and she did.
although her friends advised her at the
start to ''let her home go for what she
could get for it, as she would never
be able to pay off 8 that big mortgage. -

Adjournment In Honor OF Fred
Douglass.
[CharlOtte Observer, end. ]

Charlotte Observer, 22nd.I
The lower house Of the General As
scmbly adjourned yesterday in honor
Of Frederick Douglass, colored, who
died Wednesday evening. The action
wus taken upon resolution introduced
by the colored member from Granville,
and the vote was "a to 20, all the
Democrats voting no.
Douglass was a man OF high abIll-
ity, and the Colored race held him in
high and proper esteem. His intel
lec,uallty commanded for him a large
measure of respect from the white
people of the South, but there was
nothing in his life or public services,
nothing in the view he took and ex-
pressed freely OF the South and of
Southern people, to suggest the adj
journment of the Legislature OF a
Southern State in his honor when he
died.
But, this action derives its principal
significance from what preceded It,.
However i'll it might be regarded If
viewed alone, it shall not be looked at
by itself but in connection with pre-
ceding events. What? These That

Table Scraps.

These can always be used to good
advantage in feeding the poultry. They
add to the variety and as they are
largely a waste product they lessen
the expense without a corresponding
increase in cost. One of the best plans
of using is to keep pot or vessel on
the stove where they can DO put. They
should have plenty of water added SO
as to cook sufficient to soften, then
while hot add corn meal or wheat
bran SO as to make reasonably stiff.
The scalding of the corn meal or bran
is always beneficial. A feed Of this
kind can always be given in the morn
ing with benefit and especially SO du-
ring the winter, and is one of the most
profitable ways of utilizing the table
scraps.

The Nr0us and Observer tells edito-
rally of a negro who came to Raleigh
recently from the Eastern part of the
State after position, which was
promised him before the election.
The negro stayed around for several
days until he spent fifteen dollars and
was finally told he could not get a Job
at this session. He went off sorrowful
because hel had blown in his money
and had been deluded by false prom
Uses. Yet he said he found consolation
in the fact that he saw white man
working under negro. He had ref
erence to Abe Middleton, the negro
who defeated Rei,zel, of Catawba, a
onelegged Confederate aoldier. Abe
is one of the door keepers in Raleigh
and white man is under him. This
is the sight that SO pleased the East
ern negro hunting job at the capitol.

a WOMAN
[SomerviIle Journal. J

She wore high hat to the play,
And what did the man behind say
Well, not what lie ought,
If he'd said what he thought
But he didn't-he Just went away
From the slow moving car, without fear,
She got off with her face to the rear.
All who saw her revOlve
Made solemn resolve
Not to 20 and do like her this year.
She made a small bet with man
ON most satisfactory plan.
No matter which way
Ii went, lie he'd to pay,
80 now she has got new fan.
She never had learned how to cook,
But she studied receipts from book
Her first lemon pie
Delighted the eye,
But the crust of it cut like caOutch0uc.
She got to the theatre late,
For her pa and her ma had to wait
While she stood at the glass
For an hour, alas
TO see il her hat was on straight.
But we love her in spite of all this,
For she sweetens our dull lives with bliss
She is tender and true
When troubles pursue,
And our woes vanish all at her kiss.
