Photography is commonly re-
garded as a rather uuiInporta1it
branch of science, but without it
the world would be much worse
off. AS indicated by the new
discovery, it is only in the be-
ginning Of its usefulness. At
Columbia College remarkable
experiments are being carried OH
with the purpose Of photograph
ing the tones Of the human voice
by means of which q standard Of
the voice can be established
which will represent it il its
highest perfection. Photogra pIls
have been taken Of a mans voice
while lie was singing, which
gave the position of the vocal
cords for each note. Still more
wonderful is the photographing
of the voice itself, by which are
recorded on the plate the vibra-
tons of the voice; and thus the
quality is indicatcd.-Ex.

Buttermaking in the South.

"Why do people make sour,
white butter when it is so easy
to have it firm and yellow and
SWEET" says lady correspon-
dent in one of the Southern farm
journals, and then continues Il
sell my butter to people who are
able to pay fancy and this is
how make it. Now that the
weather is cool, l put a pint of
hot water to each gallon Of milk,
and when the cream is well up ]
skim and put the cream in five
gallon can until there is enough
TO churn; then am careful to
churn it before it gets two soul ,
and when l take it up firm and
sweet and yellow l wonder why
people make so much stuff that
is only fit for soap grease. l do
not wash my butter, but press all
the milk out by pressing down
on it with a cedar paddle. before
sailing. and in cool weather do
not work it again. Wiping a
paddle across or through butter
ruins it.

A Good Receipt for Curing Hams.

+. NJ. Todd, of Virginia, whose
cured hams have given his pro-
duct reputation that sells them
wherever offered, gives the fol-
lowing description of his method
of curing:
l. The hams are packed in a
tray of fine Liverpool salt, then
the flesh surface is sprinkled
with fnely-grouned crude salt
peter until the hams are as white
as though covered by moderate
frOst---or say use three or four
pounds Of the powdered salt
peter to the thousand pounds of
green hams.
2. After applying the saltpeter,
Immediately salt with the Liver
pool fine salt, covering we'll the
entire surface. Now pack the
hams in bulk, but not III piles
more than three feet high III
ordinary weather the halns
should remain thus for three
days.
3 Then break bulk and resalt
with fine salt. The hams thus
sailed and resulted should now
remain in salt in bulk one day
for each and every pound each
ham weighs-that is, a ten
pound ham should remain ten
days, and i'll such proportion! of
time .ui larger and Smaller size.
4 Next you wash wit tcpid
water until the hams ere thor
oughly c1e2nsad, I'D after par
TALLY drying rub the entire sur
face with Underground black
pepper.
5 Now the hams should Be
hung III the slnokehouse, and
this important operation begun
the smoking should be very
gradually and slowly done, last
ing thirty to forty days.
| 6 After the hams are curec
and smoked they should be re-
lpeppered to guard against vcr
min and then bagged. These
hams improve with age, and tll'
Todd hams are in perfection
when one year old. i

Keep A Stiff Upper Lip.

When everything seems gone to rack,
Don't sit down and feebly grievc;
Try to lure your good luck back
Do your best and make believe.
Although the world has got you down,
Do not whimper in your sleeve
Insure your soul against its frown-
Do your best and make believe.
Ifstill good fortune draws rot near
Foes attack and friends deceive,
Be yet your own stronghold of cheer
DO your best and make believe
Yes-inake believe that fate will mend
Make believe time will retrieve;
Court sweet illusion TO the end
Do your best and make believe.

G Elcsne Industry.

The too prevalent iuI:;t II

has kept such places behind III

pat, II ISM
If moAcy can be made in any
town there is certainly 1 warrant
for considering the same place
worthy Of receiving benefits
from its own creation instead of
draining the home industry to
foster others at a distance.
The advantages Of home i'll
vestlnents are many besides
those Of giving the investor the
opportunity to watch its dcyeI-
opment aid being within his
easy reach.
Nothing gives more energy
and patriotism to the people Of &
city than to see it's moneyec
men, investing and reinvestiue
their capital i'll home enterprises
It promotes a local pride, anc
gives a push TO a community
which nothing else can equal.
The Development of manufac,
turing n Southern towns is the
best solution of local sloth anc
idlenes5, as we'll IS the uume1i
cal differences between the white
and colored populations, fo1
manufacturing industries mean
thrift and prosperity, with large
ly increased demands for labor Of
superior kind
The excuse of local failures in
these home industries started
therefore t Il abandonment
OF them is no reason for sufficient
ground for giving them up. In
vestigation will prove that such
failures are due to causes which
might have been guarded against.
1t is reasonable that some expe-
rlences must prove costly, and
many local industries have been
SO to the home people, but such
home investments, if properly
conducted should proveless risky
than if made away from home.
Every town in the South which
keeps and invests its capital at
home will find this safe and
sure way to build up town and
increase the happiness and pros
perity Of its citizens.-Newbern

poultry bring in daily returns,
and farmers who make specials

usually prosperous.
Sometimes poultry raisers
provide the best of feed and then
fail to get eggs. One cause OF

SUPERIOR COURT DECISIONS.
Concerning Several Northern Pacific
 Damage Cases.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-In the case of the Northern Pacific Railway company against Samuel Peterson, the opinion by Justice Packham of the su- preme court today reversed the opin- ion of the court below. The case was one of damages on account of an acci- dent, and the question involved was whether the section boss was ] fellow servant or an agent of the road. The opinion holds him to be a fellow ser want.
 Justice Packham also delivered ne opinion of the court in the case Of the Northern Pacific Railway company vs. G. L. Lewis. Lewis had claimed damages for destruction of 1U,000 cords of wood by fire, which started from . Northern Pacific locomotive. As it appeared that the wood i'm question was cut upon the public domain and was located upon government land vhc1 burned, the court held that Lewis did not have sufficient title to ii to ent.tle him to damages for its destruction and
