Ammonia In Plant Culture.

While the ordinary kerosene emulsion
and sol,ltlonnf copper have proved IN i'm.
menss boon to the cultivator of fruits and
trees in the open air, Meehan's Monthly
is authority for the statement that they
arc usually objectionable to the small
amateur flower grower, to whom some
thing clean and easily applied to small
plants is n greater advantage. For these,
the various insecticides and fungicides for
sale by tho florists offer some good recon-
mendatiOn. Where these are not to be
had it is said that wash of ammonia is
effective As the ammonia bottle Is now
one of tho supplies Of every well ordered
household, itmay be put into use readily.
All these articles, however, require some
little care in their first application. One
should always try a little ut first on son1e
plants that are Of no considerable value
before risking them in wholesale way.
For instance, tho scale on orange leaves
and the leaves of oleanders, or the leaves
of some similar plant affected with any
kind of insect, can be tried first. II no
injury follows, then it may be applied on
II somewhat more extensive scale. With u
few plants and brush considerable guam
tity can be gone over in a short time.

Tho Useful Holly.


n we believe Pliny, the Roman his.
toriaA- and naturalist, the holly is 20.
tent tree, exclusive of its Christmas
privileges. As far back as his time it
was planted near dwelling houses to
preserve them from lightning The
learned philosopher not only tells US
this, but says that its flowers cause wa.
ter to freeze, and that if staff of it's
wood be thrown at any animal. even il
it fall short of touching it, the animal
will be SO subdued by its influence as
to return and lie down by it. As the
American holly blooms in June it will
be easy to try the effect on water.
Holly has also found place in medi-
cine, bnt it involves such heroic treat
ment that, i fear the faculty will scarce
|. ly approveit. Inmany districts OF Eng
land the country people advise you to
thrash your chilblains with holly leaves
and assure You that it is a perfect cure
1t may be- There it has also been REQ.
commended in decoction OF the leaves
for rheumatism and for intermittent
fever. Lonicerus recommends it for
' pain in the side commonly called "a
stitch.
Sheep and deer will eat holly in hard
winter, and branches are fed to cattle
for fodder in France when other food
is scarce.
The belly Of Europe and tho holly Of
the United States each will grow to be
tree Of some 40 feet in height. The
wood is even. grained, white as ivory,
except in the heart Of old trunks. and
takes an exquisite polish 1t has been
much used for 'inluying." Many arti-
cles said to be Of ebony, such as the
handles Of teapots, etc are holly stained.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
CHILD'S EYES BURNED
OUT.
The Mother Also Badly Burned Her
Recovery Very Doubtful.
Salisbury WORLDLY

Mr.. 2. G. Page, who spent yesterday
in Concord, tells us of a horrible acct
dent that occurred in Concord Saturday
afternoon about 3 O'Clock.
The six-year-old twin daughters of
Mr.. J. w. Bernhard were playing in
the kitchen when they proposed to light
fire. One of the little girls got the
oil can and began pouring oil on the
fuel. Her sister struck a match, and
as she did so there was an explosion.
The unfortunate little girl who held
the oil can was Immediately wrapped i'll
a sheet of flames Before her mother
could render her any aid nearly all her
clothing had been burned off and both
her eyes were literally burned out.
Mrs. Bernhardt was unable to extin-
guish the flames and was badly burned
herself. A negro woman then attempted
to assist the child and she too was burn
ed. A man then came in, and wrapping
a cover about the child, succeeded in
smothering the flames that eveloped her.
The unfortunate child lived for three
hours and was conscious about an hour
and half, suffering untold agony. She
died about o'clock. The body was ter
ribly burned, and at every touch the skin
would peel off the little one.
Mrs. Bernhardt was so badly burned
that she had to go to bed, and she does
not know yet of her little daughters
death, as it is feared that she could not
survive the shock.

(Statesyille Mascot.l

1t DIS pity that more of our Southern
colleges and universities do not take
action along the line of that proposed
in the Texas legislature for the govern
ment of the university of that State,
an account Of which we print in another
column. BY the employment of North
ern professors the students are taught to
disbelieve in the history and traditions
of their fathers, to regard the political
views of the people of their State as the
views of cranks and calamity howlers,
and, in fact to imbfbe such doctrines as
to nullify the influence which they
might, and as educated men should, have
with the people were their minds not
poisoned with false doctrines. Southern
young men will imbibe better politics,
more correct views on social questions,
more upright morals and purer religion
from Southern instructors than from the
graduates of the monopoly infested, free
thinking and almost APOSTLE universities
of the North.

DEER FOR FUSION IN KENTUCKY.

pointed by the State Central committee,

of the Republican party will make the
convention a formal offer for the fusion
of the two parties in the State cam

candidate under the Republican device,
but not otherwise. A majority of gold
Democratic leaders are said to oppose

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
tiers improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
SO cents or $1.00 per bottle at any drug
store.
