DO You Know Herr

Ibaye a little friend who doesn't like to
mend,
To dust, or set the table, or even make
a bed;
The very thought of sweeping nearly sets
her off a-weeping,
And she always goes about it as though
her feet were lead.
She "hates', to rock the baby, and says
that some day, maybe,
SHELF go away, and finger where they
have no babies round
To keep folks busy rocking-but really
this is shocking,
And she doesn't mean q word of what
she says, j will be bound.
'Tis true she can o bear to ever walk a
square
TO buy o spool of cotton, or stamps
for mammals mail,
And it's much against her wishes that
she's set to washing dishes,
While to speak of darning stockings is
enough to make her pale.
La fact, she wants to shirk everything re-
sembling work,
And the only thing she does enjoy, SO
far AS | can say,
Is to take her doll and book, and within
some quiet nook
To read of elves and fairies, and dream
tho hours away.

General Assembly may prohibit the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors and beverages within the
State, or may authorize and empower
State and county officers, both or
either, under the authority and in the
name OF the State, to buy In any market
and sell and retail within the State,
Intoxicating liquors and beverages in

under such rules and regulations as it

Mr.. Clayton said that there was no
more important question in govern
ment than that OF controlling liquor.
In the committee there was q diversity
OF opinion. There was an election
held in the State and prohibition was
carried and the Dispensary was q COM
promise. III the resolution of the
committee Is adopted it would be but
an incentive to the liquor element to
continue the fight. My object is that
IL the Dlspensary is a failure then let
us give the people prohibition.
Mr.. McCown said as the question
was q most important one, he moved
that 1t be passed over for the present,
which was agreed to.
Mr.. Sheppard called the previous
question, which had the right of way,
and 1t vas carried.

Jacob BIggle. in Farm journal.

Jacob Bicycle. i'm Farm Journal.
1 desire, as an American farmer
engaged day by day in the active
pursuit OF my calling, keenly alive
to all influences that tend to make
the business more pleasant and less
improbable, to express my apprecia-
ton of the noble work which is be-
ing done by the gentlemen who arc
connected with the various State
experiment stations, and yet by the
Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington, in ascertaining facts and in
yestigating theories relating to our
business, and in publishing informa-
tlon derived from such experiments,
which is not only useful to us, but
which seems now to ave become
absolutely. Indispensable.
There was a time not far in the
past, when it appeared that our
pest and most successful farmers
were those who gave but little
thought to any experiments which
they did not themselves make. or
did not observe close around home;
were those who despised "book.
farming" and turned up their noses
at mention of an agricultural pro-
lessor; and who took farm PAPERS
only to amuse the women and chill
dren, or to get rid of the agent who
solicited their subscription.
But that time is gone never to
return. The condition of success
in farming are quite different now,
The tiller of the soil has got to BE-
wlde-awake; he must read and
study, as well as work he u
think; he must know what farmers
are doing in other parts of the land;
ne must try new varieties he must
have modern tools, tools never
dreamed of as being needed a few
years ago; he must know all about
insect foes and fungoid enemies.
about swine plaques and how to sta,
them, about microbes in the blood,
about modern dairy implements and
methods, about to-morrow's weather
and the markets to which his pro
duce is sent and above all he mus,
study monetary science, and fathom
transportation problems, and get a
thorough insight into political eco,
nomy, so as to know how his vote
Will protect him from robbery, and
insure to the best welfare of his
country.
The old stage-coach farmer is
surely getting left; there is nc
longer any place for him except in
the e a ranks. The coming farme,
must hustle, if he would succeed
in other words, he must learn all he
can about his business, and act &C.
cordingly. And to do this, he must
not only take the farmer papers, ant
read them, but he must obtain tn,
bulletins of the experiment stations
and find out what is in them which
relates to his business. Every Stat,
and territory 10 has it's station, a
which important experiments ar,
being carried on, the results o.
which are published and sen
out free to all who apply TO,
them. Splendid work is being don,
by the bright, earnest men who hav,
charge of stations, in every depart
ment OF agriculture, the experiments
at each having special reference t.
the needs of its own State. The
national government contribute.
nearly a million dollars annually t.
the support of these institutions
and no money was ever expended t.
a better purpose. Let us all walker
up at once to a knowledge of tn,
value OF II experiment station
work and proceed accordingly.

LIGHT STABLEs.-The impor-
lance of having stables ventilated in
accordance with correct principles
of hygiene is genrally admitted.
That the supply of fresh air should
be ample is frequently insisted
upon, but that the light should also
be abundant is not so commonly re-
cognized. Some stables are at mid
day in q state of semi darkness-a
condition, to say the least, anything
put conducive to the we'll being of
the horse. No animal enjoys the
light of day more than he. In his
wild state he frequents the open
plain or mountain side, in the full
light of the day. Wild horses are
never found to inhabit gloomy for
ests or dark ravines. The horse is a
child of light, and he should be
treated accordingly in domestic.tion,
If ne is to be kept in perfect health
and spirits, with the eyesight unim-
paired. The frequent transition
from q dark stable INTO full glare of
day cannot fail to act periodically
on his visual organs, and so also
must almost permanent gloom and
darkness. If we studied only his
comfort, we would give him at all
times a stable full Of cheerful light
as well as refreshing air.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-As the result
of a shooting ARRAY which occurred at
Bradley on Wednesday afternoon,
Sam Cothran aud Sam McCaslin were
fatally shot. McCaslin was shot in
the back and his lower limbs are COM
pletely paralyzed. His physicians are
rather dubious as to his
Cothran was shot in the mouth. The
ball lodged in the back of his neck.
The trouble arose over a wagon load
OF cotton seed which had been bought
by an old man named Careville. Nc.
Caslin came along ard offered more
than C~areville. Words were passed
between the two men and McCaslin
jumped on Mr.. Careville, who islan old
man, knocked him down several times.
Young Cothran interfered and pre-
vented McCaslin from doing serious
bodily harm to the old man. After
the trouble vas over McCaslin said to
Cothran that he had cussed him and
had to take IL back. This he refused
to do. McCaslin pulled his pistol and
fired, and then al to get more car
tridges. Cothran then drew his pistol
and fred.
After the shooting was over 1t wac
learned that the two men had shot
each other. While the shooting was
going on the father of McCaslin was
throwing heavy horse shoes at Cothran.

the rooms. IL you Wish, aud tell you

sire"
Mrs Meeker's advice sounded In
Margaret's ear with q forceful ring.
The moment had come In which she
had to take a stand and be mistress OF
TO be tender and win the old maids
love.
Miss Sarah dropped into O chair
with q sigh and awaited her doom.
Imagine her surprise to have Mar
garet DROP. upon her lap, with q little
laugh, and exclaim: "Why, sister
Sarah, the very ideai What would
become OF Herbert IL l should under
take to keep house as ignorant as 1
am? Oh, dear 1 should appear at
such disadvantage after the sweet
home you've made for him that he
would want TO take me back to mamma
Immediately Please let everything
continue just as 1t has been, won't
you? We never can get ON without
you do | am SO glad | have you to
depend on !"
Miss Sarah's eyes rested ON the
floor. Pushing Margaret gently from
her, she left the room without speak
ing. Margaret looked after her dis
mayed and exclaimed: "Wby, what
a strange way to act ~
Miss Sarah could hardly keep back
her tears TO her own door. In her
room she gave vent to her feelings,
which were a mixture of surprise and
Joy. "Bless her sweet soul !" she
said. Margaret, still %pondering the
situation, asked herself: What shall
l do now?
Margaret dear, will you come up
to my Dom a little bit ?"
Miss Sarah called from the head Of
the stairs The tone was ~reassuring,
10 Margaret went up with q gay bound.
Miss Sarah met her with a kiss, placed
u chair for her, and said: My dear
child, | have a little surprise for you.
You have thought, haven't you, that
this was q rented house ?"
Yes," said Margaret; Herbert
told me it was"
"Well, dear, it was-up t o last
week. Herbert thinks he knows all
about my business affairs, but I've been
fooling the dear boy for some time. l
knew he was too noble and charming a
fellow to stay single always, and |
must confess L have been haunted with
the fear OF his marrying some one who
would turn his old sister out, so |
quietly bought this house last week,
determined IL his wife did not want to
live with me, l could be independent
and tell her to hunt another homo.
Now, dear"
AT this point Miss Sarah's handker.
chief went to her eyes. Nov, dear,
there's the deed to it it is yours" and
she tossed the paper into Margaret's
lap. They both wept.
Who vas the victor in this case

A PENCIL.
a Universal Bad Habit for Which
There Ia No Juslification.

The act of putting u lead pencil tt
the tongue to wet it, just before writ
Ing, which we notice in SO MANY peo-
Pile, is n of the oddities of habit for
which 1t is hard to give any reason,
un,ess it began in the days when lead
pencils were poorer than o and was
continued by example into the next
generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet.
II hardens the lead and ruins the pen
Gil. This fact Is known to newspaper
men and stenographers. But nearly
every one else does wet o pencil before
using it. This fact has been definitely
settled by q clerk in a newspaper office.
Being of a mathematical turn of
mind, he ascertained by actual count
that OF fifty persons who came in the
Office to write an advertisement or
notice, forty-nine wet their pencils in
their mouth before using 1t.
NOW, this clerk always uses the best
pencils that a be p~rocured-in fact,
is q connoissuer in lead pencils, cher.
ishing a good one with something of
the pride q soldier feels in his gun or
sword and 1t hurts his feelings to
have his pencil spoiled. But polite
ness and business considerations re-
CURED him to lend his pencil scores of
eimSs every uay. ana O1ten, alter 1T
had been wet till il was hard and
brittle, and refused to mark, his feel
ings would overpower him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils,
sharpened them and keptthem to lend.
The first person who took up the stock
pencil was q drayman, whose breath
smelt of onions und whiskey. He held
the point in his mouth and soaked 1
for several minutes, while he was tor
turing himself to write an ADVERTISE
ment for a missing bulldog.
Then a sweet-looking young woman
came into the Office, with kid gloves
that button half the length of her arm.
She picked up the same pencil and
pressed it to her dainty lips prepare
tory to writing an advertisement for q
lost bracelet. The clerk would have
stayed her hand, even at the risk of a
box OF the best pencils ever made, but
he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for a week. 1t was
sucked by people of all ranks and sta
tions and all degrees Of cleanliness
and un~cleanliness but we forbear.-

TEMPERATURES OF THE FEET
AaAIN.-This subject is SO impor-
tant that l desire to consider it i'm
another aspect.
Congestion of the head, throat, or
any of the organs of the chest and
abdomen, is relieved by a good cir
culation in the feet and legs. Being
far from the vital apparatus, and
thus liable to become cold, they are,
in addition, kept in the coolest part
of the room. During the cold sea-
son the air at the floor is several
times colder than at the ceiling.
The anxious mother shows her ia
miliarity with this fact when she
says: Children, you must not lie
on the floor; you will catch cold"
Notwithstanding the marked diff
ference, the feet have less clothing
than the body. Our chests would
suffer on a cold day if they had but
d single thickness of cotton and one
of morocco. Warmth of the lower
extremities is Indispensable to health
of the head and chest. Cold bath
ing, friction, stamping, and other
exercises, with proper clothing, will
generally secure the needed temper
allure in these parts. But in many,
whose vitality is low, and whose oc-
cupation compels long sitting, the
feet, ever with the measures sug-
gested, will become cold. To such
l advise the use of artificial means.
A Jug filled with warm water, and
placed under a stool which is stuff
ed and carpeted, will diffuse a gentle
head about the feet, and secure a
temperature equal to hat about the
head.-Jou'mal Of Hygiene.
