a person by the teeth than by any

that an army doctor does when a man

at his teeth. If they show any sign of

Another popularity noticeable in many
persons is a spotted tooth. This is the

In the years 1889 and 1892 a society
in Portland, Ore, introduced 400 pairs
Of songbirds from Germany into that
state at an expense Of little more than
$1,000. OF these the plain and black
headed nightingales have probably
become extinct, because few Of them
survived the long trip, and none have
since been seen, but the other species
have multiplied with great rapidity,
especially the skylarks, which rear
from two to four broods every year, so
that the whole Wilmette valley, from
Portland to Roseburg, is full of them.
Besides these, there are black starlings,
wood larks, song thrushes, black
thTushes. goldAnehes, chafinehes, zis-
kins, greenfnches, bullfnches, gros-
beaks, robin redbreasts, linnets, singing
quails, forest hammers and forest I'm
ches When 1t is remembered that the
insects and fungous diseases most dan
gerous to our vegetation are those
which have been imported into this
country from abroad, and that animals
and birds which are held in check by
some balance Of forces in their native
land often become a nuisance in a for
eign country, just as rabbits have
been in Australia and English spar
rows in this country, it is possible that
some OF these songsters may prove in
furious to crops. The chances are,
however that they will do more to help
the farmer by keeping insects in
check than they will to injure him.

A supplemented Boer-that is, he

ter the horses one evening when he
noticed a small animal called "meer-
cat" scTaping away the dirt from its
burrow. Some popularity of the earth
led him to put some of it into his hand
kerchief, and take it home, where he
examined it that night. To his aston
ishment and delight he found in it a
three-carat diamond. Further search
at the ''meercat's" hole revealed other
diamonds, and before six months had
passed the Dutch farmer had been
offered and refused $2,5OO,OOO for his

Somehow, 1 could not shake II Oh
From time to time / would steal away
from my other duties into my dar-
ling's room, where everything SO re-
minded me OF her, picking up the ar
ticIes she had thrown round in her
reckless haste, and when all was IN
order, looking for something else to 40
! to detain me in the spot. Yet Would
not acknowledge the real extent ana
reason of my uneasiness,, even to my
self. until the sound of horses hoofs
| rapidly nearing the house suddenly
| lifted the load l had unconsciously
been carrying and brought me with
almost cry of thanksgiving to the
window. Yes, there was my darling's
blue habit fluttering in the breeze. She
had returned unhurt, but the excite
ment must have been too great for her
strength, for, even from where l stood,
| could but note the deathly pallor OF
her face, and FASTENED down to meet
her.
Ere l reached her side / saw two OF
the men, in obedience to some hastily
Issued commands, spring into their
saddles and ride rapidly down the ave-
nue.. Then in another moment Miss
Emily lay almost fainting in my arms.
"Oh, Mamma" she exclaimed, II have
killed him, and he will never, never
know how dearly loved him."
l almost carried the poor child to
my room and laid her on the sofa,
noting, as l did so with a shuddeT, the
two or three bright, red stains on her
habit. What did they portend?
From time to time low means es-
capped her half-parted lips, and / could
but contrast her with the bright, will
full girl who had ridden off few brief
hours before so full of hope and hap
piness. And then, in broken words,
she told the story. How at a sudden
turn in the road, she had caught sight
OF Mr.. Arthur following her and in
very perverseness of spirit touched
lightly with the whip the animal which
needed restraint rather than urging,
then turned her head in the direction
OF the pits, road at any time danger
GUS, but now, maddened by the touch
of the whip, the mare had taken the
bit between her teeth, and the little
hands clenching the reins were power
less. Mr.. Arthur saw her peril, and.
putting spurs to his horse in reckless
defiance of harm to himself, had put
him to the leap, endeavoring by leav-
ing the road, to head her off and seize
her rein. 1t was a race for life. A
heap of stones lay upon the road. On
one side there was barely room for a
single horse to pass. Could he reach
that first, he might save her. There
was no time to question. By an effort
almost superhuman he directed his
horse to the pass, and seized the bride
which now lay powerless in her grasp.
The mare sWerved back, his own horse
plunged, and, in some way, how, she
could not tell, he lay beneath the mad
dened animals feet, his head striking
on the cruel stones. The shock had
brought the mare to reason, which now
stood still and trembling. But Arthur
had saved her life by giving his.

THE CARE OF SILVER.

All silver used entirely for orna-
mental purposes, such as epergnes
when in use), candelabra, trays of all
kinds, ETC., should be so treated as to
require nothing beyond a regular rub
every SO often with a clean soft
chamOis. This is easily done by hay-
ing them properly lacquered, and is a
great addition to their utility and their
appearance. In cities, especially, sill
yer furnishes with fearful rapidity;
fogs' of course, are fatal, so also is
gas, while sulphur in any form, wheth-
er matches, or eatables, such as eggs.
etc., is absolutely destructive to tho
due gloss and brilliancy of the metal
Another cause Of dullness is careless
ness in putting away the silver while
still wet. All plate should be care
fully dried before storing it. More
over, all stains of whatever kind should
be at once attended to, for if left in
for any time they eat into the metal
ana require the trained hands of a sill
Versmith before they are fit for use
again.

POpulist Sick

Criminal court at Halifax adjourned
Friday. There have been many criti-
cisms passed on the light punishment in
fiicted on most of the criminals. AS the
court closed and everybody was leaving
the court house there was some strong
feeling manifested by a crowd of wit
nesses who had attended two courts in a
case which was finally submitted and
the witnesses turned away without a
cent for their time. The cost in the case
was nearly $500, but the judge scaled it
to $37. That left most of the witnesses
without anything. They said they had
been in upon two courts, and
tears were seen in some eyes at the
treatment. Some of them We're populists.
and when they asked if there was no
remedy for such treatment, some replied
that there is a remedy at the ballot box.
whereupOn there We're declarations that
they never would vote for such again.

The supremacy Of the white race is
Il question that agitates the public
mind, and no scheme or fiat Of dema-
zoSues or plotter can thwart the pur-
pose of the free men of a free state.
From time immemorial the men Of the
Tryan stock have been the dominating
force of all the world. They have been
fne nation builders. Among the great
races of antiquity, the Roman were
TIE. masters. They conquered at will,
and wherever they carried their arms,
xysey carried their laws, their insJitu-
xIons, their manners, their customs,
sf,eir modes of thought, their principles,
and all that constituted their civiliza-
xzon. Among the great nations of the
modern world, the English have filled
the place which the Romans filled in
the ancient world. They too have been
me conquerers, and wherever subjec-
ton followed their advance, it was ac-
. companied by their laws, their instftu-
7 lions, and their civilization. They
made the people overrun better and
wiser. These nations, and the other
nations who have been great force in

THE DEATH OF A FRIEND

Although it is a little late, we
cannot forego the opportunity of offer
ing brief tribute to n whom We have
known long and for whom WE had a
very genuine admiration. Colonel
John D. Cameron, whose death was
recently announced in the newspapers,
was a gentleman of that excellent
school,, better known as the Old school.
He was a man of decided capacity.
He had improved himself by reading
and study, and in some departments
of science, was the best informed man
that we knew among editors of the
state when he was Connected directly
with North Carolina journalism.
We used to think twenty years 6 or
more, that no one connected then With
the press, wrote With so much elegance,
and what was of importance, with a
clearer, truer understanding Of subjects
he handled. He wrote man things
pertaining to Month Carolina that were
of much value and much excellence.

men, courteous, affable, genial, of de-
lightful companionship and of rare in
telligence. Exceedingly we'll bred, of
correct, fine, high views, of personal
character, with fine conception Of the
ideal man, NJ n who knew him init
mately would fail to appreciate his
fine qualities of mind and heart. We
fhave read no sketch Of his life that
has appeared, and do not know what
has been said. He had reached a green
and benigrant old age. was held in
reverence n esteemed by his fellows,
and has gone to his rest. Many will
cherish his memory and those who
have been favored with an intimacy
with him, will rejoice in the knowledge
of such a man. He rendered good SER
vice to North Carolina, and in his de
parture to another sphere, he leaves
indeed, a state bereaved. Green be his
memory and peace to his soul.
