In discussing the newspaper business
the Montgomery. Ala. Advertiser ex-
presses the following very sensible
opinion southern newspapers have
as rule been run too much as public
property and not enough as business en-.
terprises. a newspapers space is its
stock in trade. and the public should be
educated into not expecting the pro-
prietors to give it away to everybody and
everything. When the truth is more
fully realized and acted upon there
will be more newspaper successes. The
public, in days gone by, has made news
papers and newspaper men sort of by
word for poverty, but newspapers are
learning to correct this impression.
The public is largely to blame for the
estimate it has too frequently formed by
outright begging OF all sorts Of favors
from publishing enterprises in their
reach and by getting their cheek re-
warded. People should be educated
out OF this habit. As fast as newspaper
men teach their neighbors that news.
paper space costs money and labor to
produce. and has market value, just
that fast will the public respect the
undertakings at their doors as bust
ness enterprise worthy of support.
Then the average man will no more
think Of boldly begging for newspaper
space for his individual benefit than he
would think of going into clothing
store aud displaying the cheek to beg
for a hat or coat, or into grocery
store and asking for barrel of -four or
a side OF meat. True enough news
paper must not be run as money
making machine, purely. That is cal.
culated to exclude conscience, liberality
and enterprise. But it should not car.
ry the idea to an extreme. 1t should
be conducted 80 as to yield sufficient
income to enable it to pay its legitimate
expenses, to pay its workers good wages
and to leave something for profit TO
its owners-in other words, just like
any other business enterprise"

WALTHALL AND MONEY.

Senator H. D. Money left Carroltton
for Washington On the lst inst. The
Senator is in splendid health, his eyes
are very much improved and he enters
upon his senatorial duties full OF
energy, vim and determination to do
his full duty TO the State. His COL
league, Senator Waltha,l, preceded
him to Washington several days.
Senator Walthall is a member of the
steering committee OF the Senate, whose
function is to outline the business of
that body and arrange the committees.
To be with that committee is doubt
less the cause of the Senator's early
departure. We are told that Senator
Walthall is now enjoying excellent
health and that his senatorial duties
are probably more pleasant and con-
genial than ever before in his career.
he makes most excellent Senator.
While not at all noisy, pert ard self,
a6sertlve, his dlgnlhed, manly course
has won for him the perfect confidence
and admiration of his colleagues on
both sides of the chamber. The truth
about the matter is, Gen. Walthall
is one of the most elegant, polished and
altogether lovable men in public life
In America. He presents a very re-
freshing conteast to some Of our latter
day statesmen. He makes an admir-
able Senator, and with his worthy col
league, Senator Money, Mississippi
will continue to be well represented
in the greatest legislative body in the
world. Long live Walthall and Money

Discretion and forbearance of news
paper editors frequently save many
persons from startling exposures. II
the editor published one half he hears
the community would be ripped wide
open from center to circumference.
Editors are first to hear gossip or
scandal, indiscretions Of men and
women, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, claudestine meetings, night
buggy rides, young girls gone astray,
flirtations of married women, amours
of married men, in fact all neigh
borhood scandal. Editors generally

guns and gore, Imprisonment, lynch
ings, desolate homes, shame, humilia,
tion, and misery. The editor learns
much Of the shams and hypocrisy ol
life, and it is a wonder that he believes
in anything on earth or in the here
after. People who abuse the editor
the loudest sometimes owe their stand
ing in society to his forbearance. Still
many who could be classed in this line
it seems, never appreciate the course
an editor takes, but instead, treat him
and his business as ''side issue" to the
welfare OF the community, and if they
patronize his institution at all, the
same institution would be better oil
without it. We have them here and

but we won't do it. Our reward will

Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels sprouts are simply a supe.
rior variety Of cabbage. They are
usually eaten boiled, and served with
cream sauce.
Pick them over carefully; throw
them into a pot containing an abun-
dance of boiling water. Let them boil
twelve minutes, drain them, and throw
them into cold water. When they are
chilled drain them again, and warm
them up in cream sauce prepared
for quart of sprouts by melting a
tablespoonful OF butter with table,
spoonful of flour, and adding slowly
a pint of milk, with salt and pepper.
Let the sprouts simmer slowly for five
minutes in this sauce.
If you prefer, the sprouts may be
cooked the same length of time in two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Toss the
sprouts often to prevent their "catch
ing" at the bottom of the pan, and
serve them hot. Some cooks add a
teaspoonful of minced parsley to dish
of creamed sprouts.
The process of cooling these vege-
tables in cold water is a necessary and
important one. This banching i'm
proves all members of the cabbage
family. 1t takes away the strong,
rank flavor, and renders the vegetable
delicate and wholesome. 1t is espe-
cially desirable to blanch cabbage be-
fore cooking it.

Big Magnets for Hosting Iron,

1t is known that for some time past
electro magnets have been used at
WoOlwich for hosting SHELLS and for
other purposes. 1t appears that these
can be advantageously employed for
handling plates in plate mills. A re-
cent installation of electro magnets for
this purpose has proved remarkably
successful. A primary difficulty was
encountered in the circumstance of the
magnets picking up too many plates at
one time, as the magnetism was carried
for some distance through the pile.
The difficulty, however, was found to
be readily overcome by little dexter
ity on the part of the operator. After
the magnet has been lowered on to q
pile of plates and several plates have
been taken up together, the operator
simply pulls the switch out, thereby
breaking the current for an instant.
BY this operation one or two plates can
be dropped off at each breaking of the
current, sufficient residual magnetism
remaining with the plates next to the
magnet to hold them until the current
is switched on again. The operation
is continued until only one plate is at.
tached. With double pole magnets up
to five tons can be safely handled, tax
ing four amperes at 240 volts.-London

What to Do With an Old Fowl.

Very often an elderly yet nice look
ing fowl may be bought very cheap,
and, deftly prepared, is quite as good
as the youngest chicken. Truss the
fowl carefully and place it in a pan
with enough second stock or boiling
water to cover it, bring this to the boil,
then cover closely, draw it to the side
of the stove and let it just simmer
slowly for several hours, being careful
it never boils again after the original
boil up. Now take it up, place the
fowl in deep dish, pour the gravy
round it and leave it till next day. 1t
can then be cut into joints and served
en- fricassee or baked as a pie with ham
or bacon, mushrooms, hard boiled eggs,
etc. Remember the second days
cooking should be for just the time you
would give to young raw fowl. If
this is carefully done, the fowl never
being allowed TO boil on the first days
the result will be excellent,
and hardly to be distinguished from an
average nice chicken.

Remarkable Surgery.

A young laundress thrust broken
needle into her right hand while wash
ing clothes. The needle having disar-
peared in the flesh, the surgeon, who
was consulted several days after the
accident, refused to perform an opera
tion, fearing lest he should be obliged
to make large number of incisions
amid the ligaments of the articulation.
Two months afterward the girl lost the
use of her right hand, and the least
movement of the fingers caused her
exquisite pain. The doctors then de-
termined to extract the needle with the
aid OF magnet, drawing it into the
fieshy region where an incision could
be made without danger. To cause
this movement they chose very feeble
electromagnetic. But difficulty arose;
the needle having entered point first it
would have to be drawn out backward,
the broken part in advance. The first
trial lasted two hours with short inter-
walls for rest, without appreciate re-
suit. Before the third trial, the girl
said that she felt pricking ia the palm
of the hand near the place where the
magnet had been applied and where
the needle ought to appear. AT the
ninth sitting, finally, the needle sp-
peared beneath the skin and came out
whole, broken end first, without pain
and without loss of blood. 1t fixed it.
self to the pole of the electromagnetic,
and the young laundress was cured.
This result-the drawing of needle
through the 6esh-is very remarkable.
In twenty -four hours after the first trial
this needle was extracted from the in
side of the hand, after lying there more
than two months.-Cosmos.

Washing Windows.

A muslin bag filed with whiting and
two large chamois skins are used by
the professional workman who washes
the windows of stores and public
buildings. First the glass is wiped
with dry cloth to free it from dust.
Then the whiting is busted thickly over
it, after that it is wiped off with one of
the chamois skins, which is dampened,
but not wet, and lastly the dry channels
skin is used for polishing. A method
pronounced as excellent in the Boston
School Magazine is to take sponge
and dip it in alcohol, rub the glass over
quickly with this, wipe with a news.
paper and polish with chamos skin.
The wood alcohol is used instead of
the pure alcohol, as it is cheaper and
answers the purpose as well. 1t is poi
son and should be labeled. A little
turpentine dissolved in warm water is
also excellent for washing windows,
mirrors or glass globes.

POLITICAL.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY and the men,
bers of his cabinet would doubtless be
much amused at the persistence with
which new war scares are launched
through the columns of the "yellow"
journals, if the subject were not too Sc.
rious and important to be regarded
from jocular point of view. Seeing
how easy the scares have been floated
and with what avidty they have been
pushed along by the gullble, gang of
Wall street spectators got up one, and.
according to the financial reports, they
succeeded in fleeing thousands of
easily frightened spectators out of
large sums of money by using their war
scare to hammer down prices of specu-
lative stocks. AS long as people will
swallow any sort of crazy story that
interruptions newspapers may choose
to print, it will be impossible to stop
this sort of thing. OF late, the navy
department cannot order a vessel to be
repaired or the general of the army
cannot discuss the need of additional
coast defepces without it being taken
in some quarters to mean that war is
expected in a few days. The only
remedy is for sensible people to exer-
else their sense in the choice of the
newspapers they read. As a matter of
fact, while the "yellow" journals of
New York and the spectators of Wall
street were hysterical over the alleged
danger of war, the President and his
cabinet were quietly attending to the
routine duties of their position, not
dreaming of such an awful thing as
war. 1t would be expecting too much
of perverse human nature to expect
that this country would never again
engage in war, but it can be truly said
that there is no danger of the good
people of the country going TO sleep
some night in peace and waking the
next morning to find the country at
war. President Mckinley desires no
war, and expects no war with Spain or
any other country. Peace and pros
perity are what he wishes continued.

The Care OF Knives.

To keep kitchen knives in the best
condition, they must be washed as soon
as possible after use, as acids, grease,
salt, etc., injure the steel and tend to
blunt it. Wipe the blade with an old
soft cloth, then dip it into lukewarm
water and wipe it dry. For brighten
ing the blade, the primitive board, with
emery powder or finely sifted brick
dust, cannot fail to give good results.
The drawer or box in which steel knives
are kept should be lined with wash
leather, and all the knives not in daily
use should be eighty creased with oil
or vaseline.
