The HOME DocToR.-It is said that
lemons will cure a felon. Cut the
lemon in halves, using half at time
by inserting the finger in the half.
For bleeding from the nose, sit up
right, bathe the neck and face with
cold water, and snuff weak solution
of alum and water up the nostrils.
For stiff and aching knee joints,
massage with a mixture composed OF
equal parts of oil of wintergreen and
olive oil may prove beneficial. 1t
should be used warm.
An old remedy worth trying when
suffering from nervous headache,
which is felt at the base of the brain,
try rubbing the painful part of neck
with camphor. Rub hard and for five
minutes at a time. This treatment,
in most cases, is apt to bring relief.
If celery were eaten freely, sufferers
from rheumatism would be compara-
lively few. 1t is a mistaken idea that
cold and damp produce the disease
they simply develop it. Acid blood
is the primary and sustaining cause.
If celery is eaten largely an alkaline
blood is the result, and where this ex-
lists there can be neither rheumatism
nor gout. 1t should be eaten cooked.

HAD TO KEEP BOTH EYES OPEN
The directors of an Australian bank

but did not seem over experienced.
The chairman, therefore, sent for him
to "post him up" bit, and began
"James, this is your first job of this

"Your duty must be to exercise
vigilance"
"Yes, SIR"
"Be careful how strangers approach
you"
"I will, SIR"
"No strangers must be allowed to
enter the bank at night under any
pretext whatever"
"No, sir"
"And our manager-he is a good
man, honorable, reliable; but it will
be your duty to keep an eye on him"
"But it will be hard to watch two
men and the bank at the same time"

"Why, sir, it was only yesterday
that the manager called me in for a

WHEAT.

While it is too early to SOW wheat,
the preparation should begin in time,
because wheat loves clean, deeply
plowed bed, which has been allowed
to settle again and then brought to a
fine tilth, for which reason it can
scarcely be rolled and narrowed too
often previous to putting in the seed.
High lands and red soils are best suit
ed to this crop. At the south, the
crop is uncertain, but each farmer
should at least put in enough to sup
ply home wants, and on account of
the saving in seed and the improved
condition of the land for other crops,
should the wheat fail, it is better to
concetrate the preparation and man.
ure on limited area, rather than de-
pend on a larger area lightly manured
and poorly prepared. The wheat crop
should be sown according to locality,
about 10 days before the usual killing
frost.
The sowing of these grain crops in
the fall, and also the seeding of the
grasses and clovers, accomplishes a
two fold object: we add other crops to
our farm supplies, and, by thus cover
ing the bare fields, we prevent the
teaching and washing so painful to see
on the farm where only the summer
crops are cultivated. We must learn
that our farming is an all-the-year
business, and that it is just as impor-
liant to protect our lands the latter
part of the year as to cultivate and
gather crops from them in the regular
seasons during the preceding months.
1t is a fact now generally understood
that cotton per Sc has received much
of the criticism which should have
been bestowed on our careless system
of culture-on the habit we have
formed of clearing our lands of every
thing, even the protection which ma
ture would spread over them, and
then leaving the bare fields to the
mercy of scorching suns and deluging
rains.-Southern Cultivator.

NEW TOWNSHIP. COUNTY, RAIL-
WAY, DISTANCE, STATE
MAP OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

THIS new Map of South Carolina has
i just been completed and has no equal.
It was constructed by. the most accom-
plished draughtsmen and engravers; is
based on, government surveys, official
railroad Information and other authentic
sources. Unequalled in accuracy, 1t is
newer in design than any other, and is the
only map Of the State sold at reasonable
price. Each township Is colored separate
~ in sea shell tint cofors by the hand and
stencil process and named. The counties,
including the new county Of Saluda, are
plainly outlined and the principal wagon
roads all over the State are shown, also
the canals.
This is also the most complete railroad
map of South Carolina ever published, as
it gives the entire railroad system of the
State with the correct distance between
every station marked with figures from
official railroad guides. The names of the
railroads are printed on them; thus we
town or place, and the correct distances,
shortest road, and cost Of travel between
any two places.
This map locates each postoff1ce, includ-
ing those most recently established. 1t
gives the population of towns and coun-
ties, also Of the State according to the last
census and a brief historical sketch of the
State with views Of Charleston and large
scale map of Charleston Harbor from re-
cent government survey, making 1t the
latest and most valuable map Of South
Carolina ever published.

p8 If belts are allowed to become
covered with grease, dirt and rosin, or
to grow dry and hard, they cannot
work air-tight on the pulleys. Very
often no more than 25 per cent. OF the
available power is obtained because of
these neglects. Many persons think
they obtain more driving power by
placing tightener against the belt !;
but this gain is only the equivalent OF
the extra surface with which the belt
is brought in contact by the tightener,
and in the case of a horizontal belt
this will be nearly lost by friction,
though on an upright belt the tight
ener may be useful. There is economy
in working with slack belts, keeping
them clean and flexible. Hardened
belts are best softened by washing OF
lukewarm soda water and thorough
scraping and oiling.

HOUSEHOLD PERILS.

There are three volatile liquids used
in families which are particularly dan
gerous, and must be employed, fiat all ,
with special care.
As regards ammonia, or water OF
ammonia, it is very powerful agent,
especially the strongest kinds sold by
druggists. An accident in its use has
recently come under our notice, in
which q young lady lost her life from
taking few drops through mistake.
Benzine, ether and strong ammonia
constitute this class of agents. The
two first named liquids are employed
in cleaning gloves and other wearing
apparel, and in removing oil stains
from carpets, curtains, etc. The IL
guilds are highly volatile and flash into
vapor as soon as the cork of the phial
containing them is removed. Their
vapors are very combustible, and will
infame at long distances from ignited
candles or gas flames, and consequent
ly they should never be used in the
evening, when the house is lighted.
Explosions of a very dangerous ma
ture will occur if the vapor of these
liquids is permitted to escape into the
room in considerable quantities. In
view of the great hazard in handling
these liquids, cautious housekeepers
will not allow them to be brought into
their dwellings and their action is COM
mendable.
Breathing the gas, under certain cir
cumstances, causes serious harm to the
lungs and membranes Of the mouth and
nose. 1t is unobjectionable if proper
care is used in its employment. The
phials holding it should be kept apart
from others containing the medicines,
etc., and rubber shoppers to the phials
should be used.
Oxalic acid is considerably employed
for cleansing brass and copper utensils
This substance is highly poisonous and
must be kept and used with great eau
ton. In crystalline structure it closely
resembles sulphate of magnesia or Ep'
som salts, and therefore frequent mis-
takes are made and lives are lost.
Every drug or chemical compound
that goes into families among mex
perienced persons, should be kept in q
safe place, labeled properly and used
with great care.

INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT.-A
ministerial looking man was having
his say on the street corner to a group
of eager listeners, and he was making
an argument in support of the gold
standard. "We must wait for free
coinage of gold and silver until we
can have an international agreement, !"
he said. Then the fat man asked per-
mission to offer few quetions.
~ understand you are member of
the church" he inquired, "a preacher
of the Gospel, am I right ?"
ayes, sir; you are right; am a
preacher of the Gospel and I did
come out on the Lords side at the age
of 16 years. Well, what then?"
"You thought you did right in so
coming out, didn't you, and do you
yet think so ?" persisted the fat man.
"Why, certainly; what are you
driving at ?" replied ministerial look
ing gold man with asperity.
"Oh, nothing, except wonder why
you did not put off this thing of coming
out on the Lords side till by interna-
tional agreement all the heather in the
world would do the same thing?"
The crowd laughed and the gold
bug fied.-Crawfordville Qnd.,) Star.

HAD HIS REVENGE.

There is no rule of the Union Rail
road company compelling conductors
to carry any specified amount of bills
and change with them when they take
a car, out but the men usually have
about SIS or 500, so that they may be
prepared for stray SO bills when they
are presented for 5 cent fare. The
average passenger seldom hands out
any bills larger than 50, and a man
usually gives the conductor a nickel
or the smallest silver change he has.
A woman gives him pennies if she has
five in her pocket-book, and some
conductors maintain that the women
save their pennies for weeks at q
time, in order to load the pockets OF
the conductor with them. But there
is one woman who will probably new
er again give conductor large bill
to change.
It happened on Cranston street
car, one day in the latter part of last
week says the Providence Journal.
The conductor made his rounds, and
captured pennies, nickels, dimes and
halfdollars, until he came to one
woman, who, after searching through
her pocketbook, produced 500 bill,
which she handed to him, with glance
which should have frozen his soul and
prevented remonstrance. 1t failed ;
the conductor was patient and long
suffering, but he rebelled against TAX
ing a scent fare from $40 bill.
as this the smallest you have,
lady ?" he asked.
He was answered that the bill had
been handed to him to have the fare
taken out. He thought moment,
and bright idea penetrated his brain
like an K ray.
"Ill give you your change in a mo.
ment," he assured his passenger, and
then stopped the car just as it reached
Hoyle square, where the High Street
bank is located. Hurrying into the
bank, he laid down the bill and asked
for change.
"Give me 10 silver dollar and 20
nickels, please" he SAID, ana alter
the teller had been told the occasion
for haste, he gladly furnished the nec-
essary change. The conductor car
ried the change in both hands out to
where the woman who wanted the
bill changed sat in the car and poured
it in her lap, after taking out the
nickel for the fare. The other passen-
gers snickered, the receiver of all the
silver grew red in the face and indig-
nant and the motorman started the
car with jerk. The passenger re-
monstrated, but she had her change,
the conductor had his revenge and the
crowd had satisfaction, and the ma
jority against her was 16 to 1.

Edgar w. Nye.

FAMILIARLY known as "Bill Nye,"
Il was perhaps, the most popular hu-
morist of the Nineteenth century, and mil
lions of people read his productions each
week, and were panied to hear of his
death short time ago. Mr.. Nye's home
was Buck Shoals, near Arden, Bun
connie county, N. G. He had a very in
teresting family and was devoted to it and
it to him. He realized q large income
from the products of his pen and accumu-
lated considerable fortune. He was q
business man and realized the value Of
life insurance as means of protecting the
widows and orphans, and carried large
sum on his life, s., 900 of which was in the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.
His policy was No. 6,289. We delivered
No. 303, ,6H on last Thursday to gentle
man in Chester. We only make this
statement to show the reader how rapidly
the Association has grown since Mr.. Nye's
policy was written IA years ago, (the COM
pany is little more than Is years old) and
that he was shrewd enough to see that 1t
was safe and sound even in its infancy.
During the IA years that the policy was
carried $S3l.S9 was paid in premiums, on
an average cost Of $59. AZ year or, $l1.S8
per s., 900 each year. If Mr.. Nye had had
an ordinary life policy in an old line COM
pany and paid it the same amount in pre-
miums that he paid the Mutual Reserve
his wife, who was the beneficiary, would
have received S2,526 instead of 5000.
