- Mark Twain's hands were photo
graphed recently and copies sent to
each of four experts in palmistry.
One discovered "a strain Of Southern
blood dating back 24O years. Of the
four only one discovered any sense Of
humor.
A Des Moines woman who has
been troubled with frequent colds,
concluded to try an old remedy in a
new way, and accordingly took a table
spoonful -four times the usual dose)
Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy just
before going to bed. The next morn
ing she found that her cold had almost
entirely disappeared. During the day
she took a few doses Of the remedy
Zone teaspoonful at timc) and at
night again took a tablespoonful be-
fore going to bed, and on the following
morning awoke free from all symptoms
of the cold. Since then she has, on
several occasions, used this remedy in
like manner, with the same good re-
suits, and is much elated over her
discovery of 30 quick way of curing
q cold. For sale By Hill BroA

Potatoes as Penh0Iders.

It is surprising, says commercial
traveller, how general the use Of pota-
toes as penholdcrs is becoming in ho-
tells. I have seen them in use in
great hostelries of the East, whose
owners wouldn't hesitate for a mo-
mcnt to spend ten dollars for desk
ornament to hold pens used by the
guests in registering. The mixture
of starch, glucose and water in the po-
tato seems we'll adapted to take up the
impurities of ink, and to keep the pen
point clear and bright, while the al
kaloid of the potato, known as solan-
inc, doubtless has something to do
with it in the same line. These ele-
mcnts readily take up the tannate of
iron, which is the body substance of
ink. Chemically speaking, starch is
,, the first base Of a potato, and sugar or
glucose is its second base. Thus is
the humble potato finding another
way in which to serve the uses of
mankind. There is rather a pleasing
suggcstivcness in a big 10-inch potato
when fellow comes in tired and hun
cry from long run.

One of the few instances Of a
stream running up hill can be found
in White county, Ga. Near the top
of mountain is q spring, evidently a
siphon, and the water rushes from it
with sufficient force to carry it up the
side Of very steep hill for nearly half
a mile. Reaching the crest the wa
ter flows on to the east, and eventual
ly finds its way into the Atlantic
ocean. Of course, it is Of the same
nature as a geyser, but the spectacle
of stream Of water flowing up steep
incline can probably be found no.
where else in the country, and ap-
pears even more remarkable than the
geysers of Yellowstone. Cincinnati

The experience Of Mr.. R. D.
Whitley, an influential and prominent
citizen of Martindale, North Carolina,
will no doubt be perused with interest
by people in all parts Of the country.
For years he has been subject to vio-
lent attacks of infammatory rheuma-
tism; on the first Of February he had
an attack, which settled in one Of his
knees and caused almost unbearable
pain, for two days. He obtained a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
from W. M. Houston & Co., merchants
at Mecklinburg City, N. G. He writes
that it gave almost immediate relief
and gives Chamberlain's Pain Balm
the highest praise, and advises all
persons troubled with like affections
to use it and get relief. For sale by

No man ever prospered in the
world without the cooperation Of his
wife. If she unites in mutual endea-
vors, or rewards his labors with an
endearing smile, with what confidence
will he resort to his merchandise or
his farm, fly over the land, sail upon
the seas, meet difficulty, encounter
danger, if he knows he is not spend
ing his strength in vain, but that his
labor will be rewarded by the sweets
of home. Solicitude and disappoint-
ment enter into the history of every
man. life; and he is but half provid-
ed for his voyage who finds but an as
sociate for happy hours, while for
months Of darkness and distress
no sympathizing partner is prepared.

Panama's Des0lati0n.

If that aforementioned New Zeal
ander Of Macaulay's imagination is
tired waiting for the chance to sketch
the ruins of St. Paul's from a broken
arch Of the London Bridge, he might
find diversion in visit to the Isthmus
of Panama. He can see there the mask
of wealth and the ruin Of the works of
man to such an extent as may at least
whet his appetite for the feast which
the English historian suggested might
be his. He will see there nature in
the act of undoing the labors of man.
The great scar on the isthmus is rap
idly healing. Piles of e1cavated
material are washing back into the
chapnel. The wharves are falling
into the water. Acres of machinery
are rusting into dissolution. On the
isthmus are nearly ], 900 miles Of steel
track with locomotives and thousands
of dump carts, now half hidden in the
tropical growth. Seventy-six great
steam shovels stand side by side in
the excavation, buried in the luxuri-
ant vegetation, so that only the gaunt
arms stand up above the green. What
picture is that to emphasize the
potency of man in his struggle with
nature Whatever he may appro-
pirate for his own use, and whatever
form he may give to what he takes,
nature will set to work to repossess it
some time. Her slow processes will
reclaim it all unless man maintains a
constant warfare to keep it.
Of all the unnumbered millions Of
dollars which have been expended on
the Panama Canal, it is said go per
cent. is going to waste, and will be
utterly lost unless the work on the
vast enterprise is resumed actively.
Some of the machinery has been hous-
ed and cared for. Most Of it has been
abandoned where last used,7 and where
it is now rotting or rusting it's useful
ness away.-Omaha Bee.

A Mixed Prayer.

At the advanced age Of five, Marjorie
developed an extraordinary liking fol
prayers. She had been taught moi
only CHOW I lay me-" but also the
Lord Prayer, and then at her request
codicil had been added, praying
that "papa and mamma and all my
relations might be protected during
the night. She said the prayers just
before going to bed, and in the morn
ing, and her mother often heard snatch
es of them as the little girl went about
her dolls affairs during the day.
1t was no doubt partly owing to this
familiarity with her prayer, but large
ly to drowsiness, that one night the
sleepy little girl electrified her listen
ing mother by hastily cutting short
the Lords Prayer and ending up the
ceremony with, "Deliver me from evil
and-all my relations. )"
Her father said she was a philoso
pher, but that she ought to have added
relations-in-law.

An Arapah0e's Meal.

For feats of downright big eating
I'll back the North American Indian
against the world, said a Colorado
man. I recall in particular an Arapa-
hoe Indian who visited our camp by
the Fontaine qui Bouille river one
night. We had killed buffalo calf
on that day--a good sized, fat calf,
four or five months old-and having
skinned and dressed the carcass, had
hung it up on q wagon pole. We had
carved enough off one shoulder to 60
along with mountain trout, bacon,
bread and coffee for our party Of four
at supper; the rest Of the meat was
all there. The Indian came riding up
after We had eaten and he looked
pretty tired and empty. He had ev-
identity travelled long way with little
to eat, for he was dusty, haggard and
thin as shoestring, and there was no
doubt when he asked by signs for food
that he wanted it badly. We pointed
to the buffalo calf, and with his knife
he cut off some slices of meat, laid
them on the embers, and as soon as
they were little scorched, ate them
ravenously and began again with the
calf.
he was still cutting and cooking
meat and eating when we went off to
sleep, and SO far as we could tell, he
spent the entire night in that occupa-
tion, for whenever one or another Of
us woke up enough to look around, the
Indian was either cutting at the calf
or eating by the fire. When we turned
out in the morning we found that all
that was loft of that buffalo calf was
it's skeleton hanging from the pole.
The Indian had not carved away its
joints and ribs as white man would
have done, but hacked the meat off in
small pieces till all was gone.
The Indian looked like another per-
son. His all-night feed had fattened
him up so that he looked well filed
out, and he moved about with differ
ent air. He greeted our rising with a
"How," and sat stolidly by the fire
until one of us gave him tin cup Of
coffee, which he took with another
"How." While we were at breakfast
he mounted his horse and slipped
away so silently that we scarcely
noticed his going.

rom weakness, which, in turn, it ag

from weakness, which, in turn, it ag-
gravates.
It is a common saying that, in full
bloodcd persons, an occasional nose
bleed is beneficial; and this may in a
certain sense be true, inasmuch as the
nasal membranes are thus relieved Of
congestion. But it is safe to say that
bleeding from the nose is never any
thing but sign Of weakness.
The treatment of an attack of nose
bleed consists in absolute rest and
cool applications to the head. The
extremitics should be warm. The
head should not be held down over a
basin, as this favors the flow Of blood.
One of the simplest and most cffcctu-
al methods of stopping an ordinary
attack is for the person to stand erect,
with the head in the usual upright
position, and the hands extended at
length directly over the head. Iouth'

MIR. Harrell's Hogs.

VAIosTA, Ca, February IA
Times representative had an interview
this week with Mr.. j. W. Harrell, the
big planter of northern Lowndes coun-
ty. Mr.. Harrell was summing up his
past seasons work and gave very in
teresting figures and facts on the rails
ing of hogs, to which business the
attention of all south Georgia has been
greatly aroused. From December goth
to February 9TH he has killed III
hogs, of a total weight of 1881
pounds, an average Of 1891 pounds
each. Reckoning these at 6 cents per
pound, he has a return Of 981.06,
Besides, they brought him forty cans
of lard, aggregating one ton of grease,
or 1000 pounds. The sausages, pud-
dings, heads, etc., have yielded s1OO
in cash to his good wife, when sold in
Valdosta.
Now, the expense of raising this
hog crop is the important part. They
had access to large mulberry orchard
from April to September. Then they
were into 100 acres of pinders. These
pinders had been planted in alternate
rows with corn, and full yield Of both
is secured by proper cultivation. The
raising and fattening Of the III hogs
did not actually cost fifty bushels Of
corn. Mr.. Harrell will not plant seed
of cotton this year. he states that
his clear profits in farming have al
ways been from the supplies he makes
to feed the men who raise cotton on
land rented from him. He has great
faith in the mulberry orchard and ad-
viscs the planting Of these trees gen
erally-ffty to the farm at least.
His favorite time Of planting pinders
is the dark nights in April. Mr.. Har-
| rell does not adevote all his attention
to pork raising, but grows plenty of
cattle and his orchards produce pears
and pecans that bring in neat reve-
nue.. Very few eggs 60 into his cotton
basket. He believes the hope Of the
farmer depends on his turning from
following after the feecy staple. His
| experience and judgement, operating
on the large scale that he does, are
| we'll worth attention and consideration.

In Case Of Nose.Bleed.

Bleeding from the nose is caused by
the congestion of the lining membrane
of the nose.
This congestion may be the result
of catarrh, or, more properly, Of the
diseased condition Of the nasal mem
branes which is due to catarrh; or it
may accompany congestion of some
organ of the body, as the liver. 1t
may also result from heart disease, or
even from dyspepsia.
Nose bleed in children is commonly
supposed to indicate nothing more
than that the child tires easily, or is
overactive. Yet even these terms ex-
press more than is obvious upon o
casual reading of the words.
If child tires easily, or, in other
words, if the least overexcrtion al
play or at study results in a more OF
less severe attack of nose-blecd, the
child must be in weakened state
while, on the other hand, if he is &C
customed to allow his play or hi:
studies so to absorb his interest as tc
make him forget his fatigue, he i!

In either case he will be benefited
by a curtailment of work, and an in
crease in the amount Of time allotted
for rest, until his body is more fully
developed No child's mind can b.
developed faster than the body excep

Nose-bleed occurring in middle lift
and old age is a more serious thing, al

Through a London paper it is
learned that an American woman has
lately received what must be termed
the most original of wedding presents.
It is q musical dinner service, of
which each plate begins to play tune
when put upon the table. The soup
plates are accredited with marches, as
suiting the temper Of the guests at
that moment Of solcmnity but as
dinner progresses, and the wine and
courses do their enlivening work, the
harmonies brighten accordingly, till at
desert the covers are ringing out the
