"JUST AS IT USED TO BE"

It was in the evening after the days
work was done and "Massa" had gone
to bed in the darkened days of slavery
and the dusty toilers of the plantation
were wont to assemble in front Of their
humble huts and there hold high carni-
val under the pale light Of the moon.
The sweet music Of the plantation ne
groes has passed into tradition, but
there is still a well preserved relic of
those good old days left and that is pre-
cisely what Whalen & Martells' South
Before the War" represents, and it will
be witnessed by packed houses at the
Grand Opera House during the next
three nights.

A FEW RULES IN BUSINESS. When
a man pays you money be sure to count
it in his presence otherwise mistake
may cause trouble, confusion, and hard
feeling. When you pay man money
require him to count it before he leaves
you, and then there can be no danger
of mistakes and no room for dishonesty
When man seems unwilling to furnish
a receipt for money paid, you will be
wise to require it Of him, and put it
carefully away. Ifyou want to remain
on friendly terms with your friend,
don't loan him money without requir-
ing the security you would ask from a
stranger. When man borrows money
of you to pay off another, who is press
ing him, you will probably never get it
back. When you become security on
note, bond, or other paper, you need
to see that it is settled when due, or it
may turn up at an unexpected and in
convenient season for you to pay it.
Live within your income, and then you
will not have occasion to borrow, or
90 in debt. Pay as you 60, and you
will not be dunned with bills, nor
threatened with suits.

DURABLE WHITEWA

Every farmer has more or less out
buildings and fences that are built of
rough boards, that he does not feel
that he can afford 10 paint with lead
and oil, that could be covered very
cheaply with whitewash, and thus be
greatly improved in appearance, and,
what to most farmers is most impor-
tant, made to last twice as long as if
left exposed to the changes of the
weather.
The great drawback in common
whitewash is the want of durability, it
being necessary to renew it every
year; but an improved preparation
may be made at very low cost, that
when properly put on will last some
years and look very we'll. 1t is made
as follows, for five gallons: Slake six
quarts of good lime in hot water, COW
ering it up while in process of shaking,
to keep in the steam when slaked,
strain through coarse cloth add one
quart of salt, prepared by boiling in
water until dissolved, and the impuri-
ties have been skinned off also add
one pound Of alum, one-half pound of
copperas, three-fourths of a pound of
potash, four quarts of very fine sand,
and coloring to suit fancy. This prep
aration should be put on hot; if prop
erly done, it makes a durable paint.
TO make a brilliant white, to the
amount of lime above mentioned, add
one-fourth of pound of burnt alum,
one pound of refined sugar, three pints
of rice. -four made into thin paste,
and one pound of dissolved glue.
This, like the other, should be applied
hot. If the lime be good, it will make
very pure white that will last some
years. 1t is said, with what truth we
cannot vouch for, that the east end of
the White House at Washington was
at one time covered with this prepara-
ton. There can be but little doubt
that it is economy to keep rough board
fences and out-buildings covered with
a cheap paint of whitewash; it pre-
vents decay by keeping the water out
of the wood ; it also adds very much
to the appearance of the home. The
outlay is very trifling indeed, except
the labor, which can be done BY the
farmer or his boys, when other work
is not driving. 1t is believed by many
that it pays to whitewash the shingles
on the roofs of buildings, as it not only
assists to prevent decay, but it is a
great safeguard against fire.-Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

HER FIRST TREsTLE.-The East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail-
way had, before they were filled in a
year or two ago, some very high and
very dangerous trestles in Georgia;
One day in 1886 a happy, jolly faced
old woman, with a ticket to Dalton,
was telling the impatient conductor
that she chad rid on the cars afore, lO
miles one time an seven another,
though this here wuz the fust time she
had been clear across the continent.
But, law! he needn't be afeard to put
on steam thinkin' as how she'd mind it.
Massy sakes, no! Fact wuz she q
like fur i'm to spread hisself an show
Beniy here how everlastinly he could
leave that old piebald Mazeppa be-
hind"
Shortly aflerward having taken a
breathing spell in her genial entertain
ment of all the passengers near enough
to be interviewed by her, she glanced
out of the window, and saw far below
her the tops of tall oaks and hickorles'
In horror she bobbed her head down,
covering her terrified eyes with both
hands. After some minutes, ventu-
ring to peep out again she saw black
berry vines and persimmon bushes on
a level with the car. "Thank the
Lord /" she gasped Twelve lit at last!'

THE PHONOGRAPH TOLD THE TROUBLE.

To those people who look upon the
photograph as a scientific toy this sto-
ry will be Of interest, and it will be
none the less so to those who know Of
the practical purposes to which this re-
markable instrument can be put. 1t
appears that the Knowles pump works
put up one Of their large pumps for the
Kicks water company at the Elk river
pumping station in California. The
pump was in constant use for some
wears, and the makers heard no COM
plaint until few weeks ago, when
they received a novel communication
from H. l.. Kicks, the manager of the
pumping station.
There was no doubt in the minds Of
those at the station who were best
acquainted with the mechanism that
something was wrong with the pump,
but they were unable to fix on the de-
feet, and as the dismemberment of the
pump would involve much loss of time,
and as visit by an expert from the
East would mean a considerable ex-
pense, the phonograph was resorted to.
The manager spoke into the receiver,
describing the symptoms of the ailing
pump, and further to indicate the case,
he placed the receiver so that the pull
sations of the pump would be recorded
on the roll.
Just as a physician listens to the ac-
tion of the heart or lungs in the human
body by means of a stethoscope, so the
pump doctor listened by means of a
phonograph to the throbs and pulsa-
tions Of the pump thousands Of miles
away, and was enabled by that means
to diagnose the disease.
A Tribune reporter listened to the
strange communication at the New
York office Of the Knowles company.
The voice Of the Californian is heard
first giving in clear, precise, and dis
tinct way, the symptoms of the pump,
and then he asks the listener to pay
attention to the pumps action. Then
one hears the b-r-r-r-bang b.
r-r-r-bang! of the pump, and IN
occasional wheeling sound which might
be made by escaping steam.
The engineer to whom the phono-
graph was submitted said that the
whole record was so perfect, and the
speaking so plain, that he felt tempted
sometimes to interrupt and ask addi-
tional questions.
. The experiment proved absolutely
successful, and hy means ofthe roll the
disease was diagnosed. The proper
remedy was suggested, and the pump
is running once more "good as new."

PIRIC ACID FOR BURNs.-A remark
able cure for burns is said to have
been discovered by DR., Thierry of the
Hospice de la Charlie, Paris.
Having twice, while working with
piric acid disinfectant, dropped burn
ing matter on his hands, and been
astonished at the absence of pain or
injury. DR.. Thierry was induced to
make experiments to see whether the
acid might account for the fact.
He has had now two years expe-
rience of its effects, and announces
that a saturated solution of piric acid
applied to a burn or scald will not
only remove all pain, but will prevent
the formation of sores, and will bring
about complete cure in a few days.
If this be true, the solution should
at once be taken up by all managers
of iron works and engineering shops,
where accidents from burning are fire.
quent, and not uncommonly fatal.
The solution is perfectly staple,
cheap and free from any ordor or toxic
properties. 1t produces a temporary
discoloration of the skin, which can be
entirely removed by the application OF
boric acid.

itself ran thus:

1t happened that the gentleman in
charge of the department correspon,
dence was a very conscientious and
even elegant letter-writer, and partly
by way of pleasantly he replied to this
communication in his most elaborately
courteous manner. The department
would be most happy to comply with
its esteemed correspondents request,
he declared, but it needed to be in
formed somewhat more specifically
which of its numerous reports was
needed. Would Mr.. - be kind
enough to mention the date, or at least
the subject of the document in ques-

n6T Back in the seventies a report
reached army headquarters that the
Indians in Idaho had swarmed down
on little village, and murdered every
inhabitant. A second lieutenant who
had Just received his commission was
despatched to the scene to ascertain
the authenticity of the rumor. A few
hours after his arrival in the village, he
sent this despatch to the commanding
officer: Everybody is quiet here /"

TRAINING VICIOUS HORSES.

A new and very simple method of
training vicious horses was exhibited
at West Philadelphia recently, and the
manner in which some of the widest
horses were subdued was Astonishing.
The first trial was that of a kicking or
"bucking" mare, which her owner
said had allowed no rider on her back
for a period of not less than five years.
She became tame in about as many
minutes, and allowed herself to be
ridden about without sign of her
former wildness. The means by which
this result was accomplished was by a
piece of light rope which was passed
around the front of the jaw of the
mare just above the upper teeth across
in her mouth, and thence secured to
the back of the neck. 1t was claimed
that no horse will kick or jump when
thus secured, and that a horse, after
receiving the treatment few times,
will abandon his vicious ways forever.
A very simple method was also shown
by which a kicking horse could be
shod. 1t consisted in connecting the
animals head and tail by means of a
rope fastened to the tail and then to
the bit, and drawn tightly enough to
incline the animals head to one side.
This, it is claimed, makes it impossible
for the horse to kick on the side of the
rope. At the same exhibition a horse
which, for many years, had to be
bound on the ground to be shod, suf
fered the blacksmith to operate on
him without attempting to kick, while
secured in the manner described.

p8 A Quaker was once advising a
druukard to leave off his habit Of drink
ing intoxicating liquors. "Can you tell
me how to do il? ?" said the slave ofthe

hand friend" "Convince me of that,

HOW TO HANDLE A GUN.

Never under any circumstances
point your gun toward human being
Never carry so that if it were acci.
dentally discharged it would even en-
danger the life Of dog.
Always think which way your gun
is pointing, and, if companion is in
the field with you, no matter how near
or how tempting the game appears
do not shoot until you know where he
is; a stray shot may be sufficient to
destroy an eye forever.
Never carry loaded gun in a wag.
on or buggy.
Never carry loaded gun over a
fence put it through and then get
over.
Always carry a gun at half cock
if a breechloader, never let the ham
mer rest on the plungers.
Never get in front of gun ; if you
are falling, drop it so the muzzle will
be from you.
If the cartridge sticks the stout
blade of a knife will probably extract
it; if not, take out the other cartridge,
cut straight stick and poke it out
from the muzzle; even then do not get
in front of the gun.
After firing one barrel take the car
fridge out of the other and examine
the wad to see that it is not loosened,
as it is sometimes after heavy recoil,
for should it get into the barrel it is
liable to burst the gun.
Never take hold Of the muzzle of a
gun to draw it toward you.
, Never keep loaded gun in the
house.
Follow these rules, be self possessed
and the fields will afford you sport
without danger, says The American
Field.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S WILD BEASTS.

their capture for the sake of their
skins a profitable employment says

flying squirrel, four species of rats,
four species of mice, and three species
of ground mole or shrews. All these
are found in considerable numbers,
while some, even of the larger and
more important are very abundant.
In addition to these, the common
seal is an occasional, though rare, Wis
itor in the harbor, while the panther,
the beaver and the wolf have become
extinct in this circuit within one or
two generations-the latter having
been killed within 80 miles of the city
in the memory of men now living. If
we extend our circle to include the
limits of the State, we must enlarge
our list by or 10 more species, such
as the red fox, the woodrhuck or
ground hog, the muskrat, the ground
squirrel, and several others, while the
panther, wolf and beaver may possibly
be found in the wild regions Of the
Blue Ridge.

RICE AND CHEESE WITH ROAST
BEEF.-Rice and cheese are very good
with roast beef. They are prepared
much in the same way as macaroni
and cheese. Boil the rice until tender
in salted water, drain dry, then put in
a baking dish alternate layers of the
rice and grated cheese. The layers of
rice should not be more than a sprink-
ling. Season with salt, pepper and
