4 PUBLIC LIBRARY.

TO the Editor: The time has come
in the material and intellectual deyel-
opment Of Durham, when the city
ought to have a public library, There
are few institutions that moulC@add
more TO the culture and intellectual
life Of the place. There is in Durham
to-day more interest manifested in lit
erature than ever before. There is one
thing that is necessary in order that
this intellectual awakening may be in-
creased and extended and that is
public library.
1t is almost useless TO discuss the
advantages and benefits to be derived
from such an institution. The lack Of
libraries has been one of the retard-
ing elements in the intellectual devel-
opment of the South We must confess
that in library culture, the North has
surpassed us. New England has been
the seat of culture, and the birthplace
of our best American literature There
are many things that have tended to
make this so, but certainly one reason
has been that in every town as soon
as the church and school house were
founded, a library was established. We
love the churches and schools, and now
we need the library. 1t is almost i'm
possible to enumeTate the advantages
that would be derived from it.
We have i'm the city great many
people who would read if they only
had the opportunity 1T may be Of in
terest to know what success has at
tended the movement i'm other places.
A few wears ago in Charlotte the need
of a library was felt, and a few per
sons interested in the subject began to
discuss it. The result was that inter
est in it was aroused, and soon a suf-
ficient sum was raised to make it adj
visable to organize. This was the best
investment the city ever made. The
library has done much for the intel
lectual life of the place The people of
Charlotte always speak of this library
with pride.
In a letter to the writer few weeks
ago. Prof Alex. Graham, of Charlotte,
said: "The library here is a grand
success. I hope Durham viii establish
one at once"
If the interest of the people of Dur
ham can be aroused on this subject,
there is very little doubt about secur-
ing the library.
Those who are deeply interested in
the subject have considered it careful
~ in all its phases, and they believe
plans have been devised that will be
perfectly practical. 1t is no visionary
scheme. Let one and all consider the
question.

For years the appointment Of United
States Commissioners was not a mat
ter of sufficient importance to furn-
ISL even a newspaper item. But these
dignitaries have grown into such i'm
portance that the newspaper that
does not keep up with their proceed
ings is not sin it..
When it was known that ID. w. Whit
al<er had resigned as United States
comnissionership there were several
applicants for the place. But it was
never heard that d. G. Mangum for
years postmaster in Durham and after
wards four years clerk of the Superior
court of Durham county was an appli-
cant for the position. Whether he was
an applicant or not on Thursday ne re-
ceiyed the appointment from Judge
Seymour. He took at once the oath
of Office and is now ready for the trans
action of business.
This correspondent has endeayored
to do Justice to all parties in connec-
ton with the revenue business and II
at any time he has seemed to be severe,
IT was an error of the head and not OF
the heart
But let it be understood that whether
these Offices are administered by Pop
ulists, Republicans or Democrats, the
system of pushing things lively for
the sake of fees must be discontinued.
Mr.. Mangum was for years stauncb
Republican. Way back in the days
of Grant when the Ku-Slux were az
broad in the land he stood boldly for
ReDubIicanism and was rewarded with
the postmastership Of Durham for
years. Then it was that ID. 9. Mangum
was accounted a Republican from
principle. But he fell from grace and
in 1892 was making speeches not IN
accord with the gold standard, high
protection faith Of the Republican
party His politics are now unknown.
d. c. Mangum is a man of intellect
nal power and will make good com
missioner. This correspondent, how
ever. reserves the right when he goes
wrong to criticise his acts.

CHARACTER IN THE WALK.

The man who is devoted to the
purely animal pleasure of eating and
drinking betrays it Enthusiastically by
a gait that throws into prominence
the portion of his anatomy he devotes
most attention to,-his stomach. The
woman whose entire energies are ex
pended on life intellectually ma
ternal and domestic, commonly
walks with hips awkwardly pr omi
nent.
These are things absolutely natu-
raj, and only by radical change in
the feeling Of the person can the
walk be modified. There are, of
course, minor peculiarities of gait
The average man or woman walks
like the person he happens to be
thinking of most. The nervous man
betrays his condition in his walk.
Guilt and grief have their express
sions, and the only gait that has
neither reason nor expression in it is
the stage walk sometimes assumed
by actors either tradition bound, or
lacking in experience. Nothing that
islassumedis artistically good. Every
thing to be artistically true must
have real or apparent reason TO
being. The walk must be an ex-
preston of an inward grace, not
merely the mechanical motion of
trained nimal.-Demorest' Magazine.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE SCHOOLS.

Although tardy, the acknowledge
ment of the teachers that the news
papers are educators is commendable.
This is not SO much a discovery as an
awakening. All the world except
the teachers, recognized this fact
when steam presses were invented.
Every new invention increasing the
facilities and decreasing the cost of
newspapers has been confirmation
of the fact that the real promoter of
ilization-is the press. A man who
reads the newspapers carefully must
become not only an intelligent, but
cultivated and even good man.
The teachers are the last ones to
discover that dead languages are not
SO interesting to a live American boy
as the daily history of the stupendous
enterprises of this giant young ma
ton Of seventy millions of people,
pursuing the arts of peace in part of
tie world unknown at the time those
dead languages were spoken. The
Coliseum was magnificent building,
but why not tell a boy of the modern
structures of steel and stone which
Roman architect could not have i'm
agined possible? Then there are our
industrial enterprises, our ships,
bridges, ocean cables, and various
means of employing the forces Of
nature to do the work of man, which
comprise inexhaustible themes of in
terest and instruction noJ dreamed of
by the ancients. The teachers do
we'll to teach the boys to read news
papers, for they contain not only the
science, literature and art of the pc
riod-the daily history of the world
but they contain the best examples of
written and spoken English extant.-

LADIES' COLUMN.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Very light sunshiny rooms can bear
Indian and Pompeiian reds in draper
les and coloring. They have cool
effect even in midsummer.
The green coat SO fashionable in
oak may be given by using stain of
lampblack, mixed with Hnseed oil and
turpentine. Rub the stain we'll into
the grain of the wood, and finish
with orange shellac. The shellac will
change the black to green. Ash may
be stained a dark green in the same
way.
A novelty in the house of woman
who can afford to indulge in such nov
elites is a boudoir with the walls COW
cred with rose pink crepe paper. The
covering of each panel is gathered in
the center under a large American
beauty rose, made of flower paper,
but so perfect that it looks as if fresh
from a greenhouse.
The meringue on pies and buildings
which should be dainty foam sew
eral inches high, is often but a crust
of leather, produced by too hot an
oven. After making a meringue it
should be spread roughly but evenly
over the surface of a pie or pudding
that is nearly but not quite cold.
Turn the heat off the oven and bake it
about twenty minutes. When finish
ed it should be a delicate brown. Pro
fessionaI makers of fine pastry dry or
cook meringues in a very slow oven
from half to three quarters of an
hour, and then brown them slightly
with a salamander.
Dessert and tea services, or in fact,
china of any kind that is ornamentde
with gold, should never be washed
with soda in the water. The safest
plan to prevent chipping the edges is
to have a clean wooden tub with a
cloth in the bottom; in this put hot
water and a piece of soap; rub the
soap on a brush or with the hand
to make a good lather, wash the
china in the lather, and rinse in clear
warm water; then stand it on cloths
spread on table to drain, Or In one
of the wooden drainers specially pre-
pared for the purpose. Wipe on a
clean teacloth; then, when quite dry,
polish the gold by rubbing it well with
q dry soft wash leather.

Hon. Elijah A. Morse, of Canton
Mass, Member of Congress from Mas
achusetts, forwards his endorsement
of the remarkable curative powers Of
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, together with q letter from
his sister, Mrs. Albert E. Morse, who
writes to the people concerning her
wonderful cure by this grand restorer

Congressman Morse is a statesman

every nation of the earth.
Congressman Morse says:
my brothers wife received great
benefit from the use of DR.. Greene's
Nervura. She has been long time
i'll and other medicines failed. She is
greatly improved by the use Of Merry

is no question that DR.. Greene's
Nervura is valuable remedy and it
is a down right benefit to nervous

TWO BLADES OF GRASS.

The whimsical old English author,
Dean Swift, who wrote upwards of a
hundred and fifty years ago, IN his
famous Gulliver's travels, makes one
OF his characters to express the opln-
ion "that whoever could make two
ears of corn, or two blades of grass,
to grow upon part of ground where
only one grew before, would deserve
better Of mankind, and do more es-
sential service to his country, than
the whole race Of politicians put to-
gether." In many respects this is a
true observation. The advantages
we now enjoy are largely due to those
enterprising spirits who have literal
ly made the earth produce two blades
Of grass where one grew before, or
who have, in figure, done the same
thing by gaining increased control of
the forces of nature and through new
inventions and extended manufac-
lures increasing the capacity Of the
community in producing articles of
necessity, of comfort or luxury.
The skillful, successful farmer IS an
important element in the community.
The manufacturer who introduces a
new industry whereby raw materials
hitherto unused are utilized, who ere
ates trade, who gives employment to
men and women otherwise unem-
ployed or less proftably employed, is
public benefactor. AS really as the
agriculturist, he benefits the commu-
nifty by making two blades of grass
grow where one grew before. TIE
difference between two communities
or towns in the matter of prosperity
is largely due to the greater number
of such public spirited men. The
town or community that has many
men who thus double the productive
ness Of the earth Or of the populace,
is the favored community, the pros
porous community.
