Notes of Interest.

Twenty hens will give as much year
ly profit as cow.
Fresh cut bones as pultry feed are
gaining friends every day.
It is best to cover all wounds made
in pruning with paint or oil.
Bone dust and wood ashes are good
fertilizer for strawberries.
Rubbing silver or plated spoons with
little ammonia and salt will remove
discoloration.
In order to have plenty of eggs fresh
blood should be introduced into the
f1ocks every year.
Try doing up bad cut in varnish,
washing it well first. 1t will cure cut
the quickest Of anything we know.
All green vegetables growing above
ground should be cooked in salt water.
Those growing below ground in fresh
water.
A loaf of stale bread can be made
quite fresh by being dipped quickly in
hot milk, and them baked until dry in
quick oven.
Rust and ink stains should be rubbed
with juice of lemon and the spot then
covered with salt and the cloth placed
in the sun.
There is nothing so good for burns
as o mixture of baking soda and lard,
or SCOT and lard. applied Immediately.
Of the two, the preference is given to
soda and lard, as it seems to draw out
the fire more quickly.
AS an agency in preventing disease,
sunlight is powerful. There is no dis
infectant that surpasses it for cheap
ness and effectiveness. The sun has
disinfected the earth for ages, as well
as afforded light and heat.
The horse is far more intelligent than
many suppose. A kind word is some
times as good as feed of oats. A
gentle tone, caresses, praises, gifts of
dainties, render him safer and more
Obedient. Harsh treatment keeps him
nervous and in misery.
When food scorches in the kettle,
the former seems ruined beyond re-
demption, but possible remedy is to
take the kittle at once from the fire and
set it in pan of cold water. This
treatment, oddly enough, will nine
times out of ten remove the burnt taste
entirely.

TO BE WE'LL SHAKEN.

When the fusionists were weeping
over the hardships that the dear people
were forced to endure by reason of the
heavy taxes and many office holders
imposed ON them by the wicked Demo-
Gratis, the honest voters put them in
office so that they might reduce salaries
and dispense with the services Of all
unnecessary officers. That was "before
taking the Offices and the emoluments
thereto appertaining." The State Audi
tor has announced himself as in favor of
higher salaries and now comes
his chief clerk and wants the office of
foreman of the grand jury" created.

DONATION TO WAKE FOREST.
Rev. Dr. Skinner Contributes to the
Splendid Library at Wake Forest Col
lege His Large and Choice Library.

Rev. DIR. Skinner Contributes to the
Splendid Library at Wake Forest Col
lege His Large and Choice Library.
There are few institutions Of learning
in the South that have so large and well
selected a library as that possessed by
Wake Forest College, and the use to
which that library is put is readily APP
preciated when the graduates of that in
stitution take their places in the warfare
of life Rev. DIR. Thomas e. Skinner, of
this city, has donated to this college his
large and carefully selected library, con-
ssting of about 1000 volumes. DR.. Skin
ner had determined good while since to
leave his library to Wake Forest at his
death, but concluded to be his own ex-
ecutor in this instance and present the
same while he was able to enjoy seeing
the good that his generous gift would
confer on the young men whose minds
are being developed and shapened for
lives of usefulness. DIR. Skinner has spent
a large amount in collecting these books.
Ten thousand dollars would not cover the
expenditure, and many of the books are
rare and especially valuable, being out of
print His entire library, except few
books presented to his two children and
a very few retained for his own use, is
given to Wake Forest.
That DR.. Skinner has made the best
possible use of his library and shown the
spirit Of the true philanthropist none will
doubt. His life has been spent in preach
ing the gospel and leading seekers after
light to the so Tree of all light and it is
but natural that he should desire that
generations yet unborn should feel the
force of his research for knowledge, and
impress upon them the thoughts that
have helped him along the ''rocky road
to learning by placing at the disposal of
a college that is no small factor in the
educational development of Cardinals
young men, his magnificent library.
AS friend to education, well wisher
and colaborer in the educational advance
ment of the people of our beloved State,
and in the name of every one who feels
an interest in the upbuilding of our peo-
pie, we desire to return thanks to
DR.. Skinner for his splendid gift.

SAY OF
The Kelley Treatment
AT GREENSBORO. N. G.

Mr.. Theo. Edwards, a lawyer as well
as a splendid planter, of Bull Head,
Green county, N. c., writes w. Fl. Os-
borne, May II, 1897, as follows:
another year has passed making four
since I left the Institute cured Of my
thirst for intoxicating liquors, and as
have annually written you or Dorsey
Battle since that time, assuring you
of my faith in the permanency of the
cure, I now assure you once more that
time only adds faith in all good things
it has done for me, and others who have
taken the Treatment with a desire to
reform their lives. / am glad to be able
to report all the boys in Greene who
have taken the Treatment to be still ON
the right road, and are strong in their
praises for what has been done for
them. I was truly glad to know that
you had at the Institute a goodly num-
Der of patients. AS long as there are
any drunkards, do hope you will con-
tinue full up. Every day live thank
God anew for sparing me long enough
to take the Treatment, thereby saving
my life, and my soul from damnation."

Odd Bits of Information About the
Latest in Dress.

/ III
Tailor-made pique costumes will form
one of the very smart styles for after
noon wear this summer.
The new three-piece skirt has a very
wide front breadth.
Pointed epaulettes, toreador jacket
fronts, and plain and folded girdles still
lend great variety to spring street cos
tunes and house toilets.
White batiste, silk null and chiffon
blouse vests and loose waist fronts
are made with bands of hand
some lace insertion that cross
each other, forming blocks either
large or small. A pretty effect is
gained by placing pink, blue or mauve
ribbon under the crossing bands, leav-
ing the white blouse itself with no back
ground of color.
Word comes from trustworthy French
sources that fine gold necklaces, narrow
bangle bracelets, and small Etruscan
gold earrings and larger gold hoops set
with pearls, moonstones and small dia-
mond clippings are to return to fash
ionable favor
Carnations, geraniums, gladioli, tu-
lips, lobelia blooms, roses, Gamma and
wild ounce blossoms are among the
brilliant red flowers that are used usan
spring hats and bonnets.
Loose silk and chiffon waist fronts
are trimmed with rows of gathered or
plated ruffles to simulate bolero or
jacket bodice effect. The same garni-
ture is used on the neck, sleeve-tops.
and at the wrist of the close coat sleeves.
Some of the new very dressy models
for Summer gowns show the skirt laid
in alternate accordion-plaitings and
narrow braided or embroidered panels.
Toilets of plain and embroidered linen
batiste or grass linen are particularly
effective so made up, and in rich black
grenadines, satins and moires in COM
blnatlon some extremely elegant cos
tunes are shown.-N. Y. Post.
