on the whole, the safest application,
and the most successful one. IS hot To-
mentations. This may be applied by
means of pledgets Of tow placed be-
tween the udder and supporting BAN
cage, and kept soaked by pouring hot
water over it every ten or fifteen
minutes. The most efficient mode.
however, is by placing a bucket beneath
the udder containing water hotter than
the hand can well bear, and applying
the water by means Of a blanket, thick
" folded, and alternately dipped in
the bucket and applied against the
udder, and maintained by two persons
holding the four corners. and placed
on the two sides of the animal. The
Concentrations should be kept up for an
hour or more at a time, additions of
hot water being made at intervals, to
keep up the requisite temperature
This should be repeated three or four
times a day. On suspending fomenta-
lHus, the udder may be dried and
rubbed with the stimulating liniment
above mentioned, or, in bad cases. a
large inseed-meal poultice applied.
and the addition of a little extract of
belladonna to either will serve mater
tally to mitigate the suffering.

To Grow Beans.

A Virginia bean-grower gives the
following advice: PlOw deeply, make
the soil rich, and plant to snap beans
as early as possible, in rows two feet
apart. At the second hoeing plant lima
beans between the rows, so as to make
the hills four feet apart each way.
By the time the snap beans have yield
ed two pickings the limas will want all
the ground. Then pull the snap beans
and use them, with all the weeds, as
a mulch, for the limas. This will in
sure the latter against the bad effects
of drought, and also bring the limas
into the latest market, when they fetch
the highest price, besides getting
double service from the land. Limas
grown by this system yielded more and
better berries the past year than when
grown alone with equally good culture.
In raising other crops, it will be pos
sibIe to grow an early crop for market,
and also as a mulch.

Carniolan Bees.

''These are the gray bees from the
elevated Alpine province of Carniola,
Austria: are the gentlest Of all races.
and besides their other good qualities.
they winter the best Of any, and it is
not surprising to see that they have
steadily grown in favor" says Frank
Benton "Their sealed combs are ex-
ceedingly white, as they do not fill
the cells so full that the honey touches
the cappings, and they gather but little
propolis, qualities that are highly ap-
preciated by the producers of comb
honey. They are quite prolific, and if
kept in small hives, such as have been
used Of late in the United States, are
somewhat more inclined to swarm than
the other races introduced here. This
tendency becomes more pronounced
when their hives are not we'll shaded,
as they have been bred for centuries,
with only slight introduction Of outside
blood, in a climate where the summers
are short and cool Moreover, the prac.
tice in Corniola is to place the long,
shallow hives, used almost exclusively
there, in beehouses and side by side,
one above the other, with intervening
air spaces. so that at most only the
front ends are exposed to the sun.
This management long continued has
doubtless tended to develop and fix
more or less permanently in this race
certain characteristics which should
be taken in account in their manage
ment elsewhere. With these precau-
tons they do we'll in any part of the
United States"

OLDEST OF MARRIAGES.

William BUCKLES, of Eldred, Pa, has
scored the shortest Of counting records.
At Machies, n. Y, one day last week
Mr.. BUCKLES was married to Miss Hattie
Clough. 1t was a case Of marriage at
sight, and came about in a very I'M
usual manner.
Miss Clough was a friendIess young
woman whose circumstances compelled
her to become a charge upon the poor
district in which she lived. She was
taken to the county aImshouse at
Machias, where her thrifty ways and
excellent knowledge of the culinary art
gave her a prominent place in the
almshouse family. One day last week
William BUCKLES called at the aims
house, stating that he would like to
obtain, if possible, housekeeper from
among the women inmates. He looked
over a group of women, and his fancy
settled on Miss Clough.
Nj. BUCKLES surprised the young
won an by asking her to marry him.
She consented, however, and in the
parIor OF the institution a half-hour
laCer the pair were married by Rev.
p. T.. Simmons, and at once left for
home.
Il is reported that the remarkable
success Of Mr.. BUCKLES in securing a
wife at the Machias almshouse has
given that institution a wonderful
boom in the matrimonial line. The
other day two other men called there
and inquired as TO their chances of
securing good wives.-Pittsburg Chron-
icle-Telegraph.

SONG OF THE BROOK.

Dashing, splashing, ripping, sing
ing
Ger its pebbly bed,
Sparkling, glittering in the sunlight,
Rejecting sky o'erhead.
1t softly whispers to the flowers,
Nodding on the brink,
Telling how the wildwood fairies
Of its waters drink.
How they sail in hearts of lilies
Ger the limpid waves,
I'd the songs they sing at twilight
Of their mountain caves.
Telling what the south wind whispers
Murmuring through the trees,
Waiting on its balmy breezes
Songs Of birds and humming bees.
Happy, merry little brooklet,
Singing on your way,
Waking all the sleepy f1owerets
Telling them tbs May.
Witty flowing to the river,
Mingled with the sea;
Catching all the raindrops falling
Larger still to be.
Busy, constant little stneamIet,
You, a lesson teach
Though our duty may be simple,
Yet the heights We'll reach.

DON'T CHEW GUM.

The chief objection to the habitual
chewing of gum is its effect on the
face. A perpetual wagging of the jaws
develops some of the muscles unduly,
and gives to all the features an IN
pleasant look Of preoccupatiOn in a
task. No play Of emotion, no fine shade
Of poetic feeling, can sweep over a
face while the most Of it is engaged
in rapid muscular exercise. It's ten
dency is away from conversational i'm
provement. The gum chewer is much
addicted to monosyllables. In the BIZ
cycle face the dominant expression is
anxiety; in the gum-chewing face it
is a never-ending but energetic pursuit
after the unattainable.-St Louis Globe
Democrat.

Preservation of Eggs.

A New York electrician has devised
scheme for the indefinite preserva-
ton of eggs. For many years the only
successful method of accomplishing
this result has been TO submerge the
! hen fruit in lime water long enough
to close up the pores in the shell, save
an exchange, and kill any germs which
might be lurking about With this
| treatment it has been possible to pre-
serve eggs in such a state as to permit
their use three or four months after
+'e sUbmersiOn. But at the expiration
OF this time, while the eggs are in
a condition to be used by confectioners
and bakers, they have lost the delicacy
and freshness which makes them ap-
petizing for the matutinal meal.
However, if the electricians scheme
proves TO be a success, eggs can be
preserved for an indefinite period in
as eatable a condition as when first
laid. The treatment proposed involves
the placing of the eggs in a vacuum

will then be painted with a compost

it will mean a revolution in the price

Good News For Port Royal.

Washington, August 1.-THE
hoard convened by acting Secretary
Roosevelt to consider the project
for dry docks, have been in session
during the day and will continue
to examine into the matter as long
as Admiral Bunce can be absent
from the New York navy yard.
The bureau of yards and docks
is now having condemnation
proceedings made at Port Royal,
S, c., preparatory to dredging q
channel to the dock at that place.
This dock is large enough for the
Indiana or any of the battle ships,
but cannot be reached owing to
the shallow channel. Work
of dredging the channel would
have been begun before, but it was
necessary for the Government te t,
acquire a strip of land upon who
to deposit the dredging. and te
make a channel which would no'
be filled up as soon as it was com
pleted. Early this month a contrac
will be let for dredging a channe
| deep enough for the large ships.

to friend in our town:
DEAR SIR: I have never sought
Office, but I will say this i'll reply
70 your letter:
If my friends and the people
want to elect me to fill Mr..
Yeldell's place I will do the best l
can to fill the Office, and if | do no
good I will try to do no harm. But
I had much rather some other good
man had been selected from this
side of the county. I have been
asked by some of my friends be-
fore to come before the people for
office. 1 appreciated their kind
interest but begged off. I now ap.
preciate the kindness of my friends
and your kindness more than !
will office if I am elected. SO
leave the whole matter with you
and others to do as you see bes'
and I will yield to your wishes.
Yours truly,

the Senate and House of Repre-

Gaines and Yeldell who have be-

edicts of the State Constitution.
Now this is step in the right d.

who loves the right, and loath's
and abhors the wrong Gaines and
Yeldell would heap OH the people,
will 90 to the polls and cast a
vote for the gentlemen nomlna-
ted. And thereby convince the
"Greenwood gentlemen" that we
Edgefeld people don't have to go
to Greenwood county for men to
serve Edgefeld in the Legislative
halls, or anywhere else. And If a
respectable vote is polled, Yeldell
at any rate will have to vacate, as
in his card published in the Co.

he says: until I am convinced
that a majority OF those who elect

When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.

There is comfort in the knowledge

fulfills every wish in relieving pain IN
the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
