CLEANING FURNITURE.

One reason why people fail in clean
ing furniture coverings is that they
are too economical in the use Of
naphtha. It must be literally poured
on to be effective. Standing in the
breeze, it will evaporate very quickly,
and will destroy every vestige Of
moths If the articles are to be left
in the house, they may be wrapped in
sheets tightly pinned around them.
This keeps q certain amount OF tho
odor in the furniture for long time
and renders it doubly safe.
Itcannot be too strongly emphasized
that no light of any kind must be
taken into the rooms while tho
naphtha. cleaned articles recently
finished are there. The inaammsbla
nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex.
ceedingly dangerous when brought
near fame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperie,
may safely be cleaned in this way, ,antl
all that is necessary is to throw all
draperies over a line in the yard, open
the windows, remove the Wrapping
from the furniture, and let tho breez,
have full sweep through the roorn,
for q day or two. Then there will b.,
no offensive smell, and the furniture
may be used with perfect safety 50
far as danger from fire Is concerned. -

KEEPING UP FERTILITY.

One of the surest marks of good
gardener is that he is always on the
lookout to have on hand an ample
supply of fertilizing matter for the
soil. How reasonable that is, and yet
strange to say one meets with persons
who, Judging only by their acts, seem
to think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do ami
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. It is true all cultivated
soil contains some plant food in the
shape of vegetable humus. deposited
there in one way or another in the
past. But the good gardener looks
upon present fertility as sort OF
revenue, and sees to it that enough
manure is applied to the soil each year
to meet the needs Of the current crops.
It would be q lesson TO some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens of our large cities and see
how, year after year, thick coats Of
manure, thirty or forty tons to the
acre, are applied.-The Silver Knight.

In Terror From Muskrats.

Residents of Waltham are in terror
of their lives because OF the preva-
lence of muskrats of huge size about
the streets. These rats are supposed
to come from a number OF old drains
about the city. in which they breed,
and sally out at night to attack peace
full pedestrians.
EARLY one morning Conductor W.
F. Phelps, of the Fitchburg Railroad,
was coming down the railroad track
and was attacked by large rat, which
tried to fasten its teeth in the con-
ductor's leg. The latter drew his re-
volver and fred two shots into the rat
before it was killed.
A few nights ago DR.. Fred NJ. Stiles
had death struggle with rat which
lay in wait for him in front OF his
house on Moody street. DR.. Stiles
picked up barrel staTe in self
defence and hit the rat with it as the
latter rushed at him. but 1t broke
short off in his hand, and the animal
sprang at him sgain and again, until
it was finally stunned by a lucky
blow. 1t was as large as grown cat
and had teeth two inches long.
But the nerviest attack was made
upon Patrolman Cannon. A rat
Jumped on him and climbed up his
legs, biting him all the while. The
policeman drew his club and after a
hard struggle succeeded in beating of
the animal. Herald.

ON THE QUI vlvE.
The Constitutionality of the Dispen-
sary Law In Simonton's Hands.


A special to the State from Charleston
says the ten days which were given by
Judge Simonton to the Attorney Gen
eral and Mr.. p. X. Bryan to file what
additional briefs they might desire rel
ative to the Vandercock case, have now
expired. Both Attorney General Barber
and Mr.. Bryan were content with the
arguments already made to the court,
and they did not take advantage of the
offer made to them.
The question of the constitutionality
of the dispensary law now rests in Judge
Simonton's hands, and every one is on
the qui viye for decision, one way or
the other. There is no limit to the time
the court will take to render the opin-
ion, and the anxious public may have
to wait week or month or
more that q month before hear
ing from Judge Simonton. The
case is, az has been stated, one
of the most important suits that has
ever vet been entered against the State,
and the issues are of such delicate
nature that it will take some time be-
fore the learned Judge, with the mass
IdCtS ld" DClOtC hAkA W ACoSh -
conclusion. It is needless to say that
Judge Simonton will render an opinion
as soon as possible and the people OF
the State will not have to bear the
suspense longer than is absolutely
necessary.
Whatever the decision Of Judge
Simonton may be, it will not be final,
for the case is bound to go before the
Supreme Court. If The decision il
favorable to theplaintiff, as is generally
expected here, it will mean the contin-
uance of the dispensary system in its
present conduct and its practical death
until the decision is reversed, if it
should be by the Supreme Court. II
the decision is with the State, the pub
lie may look for still greater vigilance
in the seizing and confscation OF liquors
by the constabulary. State.

THE RUIZ REPORT.

It Agrees With the Statement Made
by Consul General Lee.
Hsbana, via Key West, Fla, May 81.
OF the two reports understood to have
been sent from Habana by the commits
sion investigating the death of DR..
Ruiz, the one by Mr.. Calhoun, who
represents the United States, and the
other by DR.. Congosto, the Spanish
consul at Philadelphia, who acts for
the Spanish government, the former
will, it is said agree with the statement
of Consul General Lee that DR.. Ruiz
died from conclusion of the brain, the
result of violence, after solitary copfine-
ment more than thirteen days, regard
less of his treaty rights.
Consul General Lee declined at yes
terday's session of the commission to
question the witnesses. who were inter-
rogated only by the Spanish representa-
tives. Consul General Lee will shortly
make a report on the Ruiz case. and Mr..
Calhoun will make q further report on
other matters such as the money ques-
ton, the condition of American inter-
ests and the general suffering due to
Captain General Weyler's style Of
campaigning. Consul General Lees
position is just what it was in Feb
ruary last. He hold that Spain is re-
sponsible, since Ruiz died, because he
was deprived of his treaty rights. The
exact facts as to how DR.. Ruiz received
the blow which killed him, Gen. Lee
and Mr.. Celhoun could not learn, be.
cause half of the witnesses examined
by the commission were prisoners, and
ii is believed we're afraid to testify fully.
The remaining witnesses were the Jail
ors who would not testify so as to in
crimlnate themselves.
The relief Of suffering Americans by
Consul General Lee goes on daily.
Several hundred have already been as

FEEDING SITTING HENS.

Sitting hens never get fat. In fact.
with some of the persistent sitters of
the Asiatic breeds, the semi-starvation
to which they expose themselves is,
perhaps, better for their future as egg
producers than high feedin would be.
Still it is not best to let this starvation
90 too far. The hen will not eat nor
drink much, but if food and drink are
offered early in the morning, some of
both will be taken. We never feed
sitting hen anything but wheat, and
do not give very much Of that. 1t is
more important that the hen drink
freely than that she eat much. She
will sometimes drink if milk is offered
to her at night. With wheat in the
morning and milk at night, the hen
will lose fat, but will be healthier and
ready to go to laying again by the
time her clutch of chickens Is grown
large enough to care for Themselves

There are $4,000 white people and
only 5000 colored in the City of Au-
gusta, Ga, but while only thirty-two
whites died of consumption there last
year, si1ty-four colored people sue

Foster, President of the Board of
Health, in giving these figures, says
that before emancipation the colored
race was almost wholly immune of
consumption, q colored person with
consumption, prior to the close of the
war being clinical curiosity. ''This

Saturday poll of the United States
Senate showed Q predominant sentiment
in favor of the Tillman investigation

secretary of the sugar trust, now on
trial, is president of the company and
invested his money in the enterprise, 1t
is alleged, at the instance OF Senator
Jones. The Senator said that he court
ed the fullest investigation. Senator
Tillman is satisfied that the investlga-
ton will be made. 1t is believed that
a special committee will be appointed
with Senator Tillman as chairman.
A bill to establish a sanitarium at Cas-

of speculation in sugar stocks by sena-
tors, has conferred informally with his
colleages on the committee and an
agreement has been reached to report
the resolution back to the Senate.
Senator Tllman says that when 1t Is
reported he will insist upon prompt
consideration and that if it is not soon
reported he will move the discharge OF
the committee.
