A Discovery of Great Importance to
Fruit Growers

The Lincoln Journal says that DR..
John II. McBrayer. Of shelby. prom
inent physician who Is interested in
fruit growing. has for number Of years
been studying curcutio. or peach bore.
and the scale. AS the result Of his IN
vestigation lie finds that fruit growers
and the authorities are wrong in Their
the eorles as 10 the circui!o. 1t is the
generally accepted theory that the
peach bore is hatched from Larvae de-
posted at the root OF the tree aud
works its way up the tree and into the
fruit. DR.. McBrayer claims that the
bore which wort.s at the root of the
tree and tue worm in the fruit are dis
tlnct and separate. An examination
with the microscope easily demon
strates this.
lie has also discovered chemical
compound which etfcctually destroys
these pests and purposes offering hi
discovery to the National Department!
OF Agriculture.

TWO HAPPY PAIRS.
They Started on Life'S Journey BY
the Bay Line Route

They came on board the Old Bay
Line steamer at Old Point Comfort
just as the mate sung out "AIl
aboard.' and the gong to "go ahead"
was rung from the pilot house
Slowly .one,,.of the young men ap-
proached the purser's window. What
is the fare to Baltimore? | want two
tickets for me and my partner and two
for my sisters here" pointing to
two pretty girls, who were blushinc
and whispering 10 themselves in cor
ner of the cabin. lie was given his
tickets. also the keys to two Of the
best staterooms on the boat, and the
quartette hurried to their apartments.
The Old Bay Line on the Chesapeake
has been favorite route for bridal
couples for half 4 century, and its otii-
GERS are experts in telling ncwly-mar-
rlcd couples as Il rule. lis that an
other pair, BIZ" asked the mate of
the purser, glancing at the retreatiny
couples.
NO, don't think so. Believe they
are going up to Baltimore to get mar
ried-at least one couple. Take good
care of 'em anyway at supper. and give
'em good send off,
The purser was right. Only, in
stead of one couple, both were on the
same errand, and it took but a little
while for passengers and crew to know
it. The mate soon scraped acquaint-
ance with one of the young men. and
the latter told his story. 1t was a case
of unwilling papas, and genuine run
away match, or rather pair OF
matches
None of them had ever been to Bal
timore, and the young man wanted TO
know if the officer knew ola clergyman
who would make everything shipshape
Of course, the mate knew. and he gave
the would-be bridegroom the address
of a minister. Then he sent the stew
ardess to the young ladies' room TO see
what she could do for their comfort.
When they all went into supper, the
best walters on the boat were at their
elbow, aud though the Old Bay Line is
noted for its meals, this one was even
better than the average. The two
happy couples had their own table,
with little bouquet Of flowers on it,
and when they left the cabin a wicked
drummer softly whistled the WED
ding March,
During the hour after the evening
meal, when the men enjoy their cigars
in the smoking cabin, our two friends
were the centre of a little knot of trav-
cling men and the recipients of some
Havanas and wishes for good luck
When they had to leave one of them
received snug little sum from the
drummers ''for some flowers for the
ladies'" as the spokesman gracefully
put it.
When they reached Baltimore, the
two couples were then placed i'll a
carriage aud the driver given the
clergyman's address. lie was at home,
and speedily changed the names of Miss
Nellie Green and Miss Jennie Dar-
den. Of Hampton, Va, to Mrs. James
II. Guy and Mrs. Randolph II. Wood.
1t i, needless to say that they returned
by the Old Bay Line, and received the
congratulations of officers and crew
and when they reached home were
forgiven with the parental blessing.
And they are only two of thousands
of couples who have started on lite's
sea together by the favorite route on
the Chesapeake, the Old Bay Line.

Every bad act is knot on the

Every kind word is tclegraphic

Our watch loses time, but it's prob

Tramps often sleep on the road bed

"Do blondes or brunettes have the

That depends on which you marry.

1t is a common remark for some

1t is reported that many Northern

That's nothing. Orange girls shinglc

WOMEN'S EXPOSITION.
TO BE HELD IN CHARLOTTE DURING THE
MONTH OF MAY.
At Which Will be Shown The Indus
Manufacturers, and Liberal Arts,
Which Will be Revelation to nost
PeODle

CHARLOTTE, n. c., April IS, 81.
One Of the most interesting features
OF the Women's Exposition of the Car
olinas, which takes place during the
month OF May, reaching into June.
Will be the showing of the industries
OF these States, that are not very gen
orally known. For ins,anCc,-as fine
kaolin as is produced in the United
States Is here found, and is made INTO
earthenware, china and an excellent
grade OF porcelain ware. An exhibit
of this product will show the process
OF manufacture from its crude state
into articles Of dainty shape and at
tractiveness
Moore county yields sands of mos,
excellent quality for the Manufacture
Of fine glass ware, and samples OF this
tinlsled ware will also be shown.
Splendid collections o: minerals will
demonstrate the varied resources of
the Carollnas.
The Industrial department is at
tanning large proportions, and manu-
taCturers from all sections are taking
space. 1t is specially desired that each
and every cotton mill in North and
South Carolina will place on exhibit
bolt or more of each class of goods
they manufacture, 50 that complete
showing of our enormous and fast
growing milling industry may be
made. 1t IS necessary TO arrange tor
space a, once.
\ collection Of Colonial, Revolu-
tionary, Mexican and Confederate
relics is being gathered together, prob
ably larger IN extent and general com
prehensiveness, and gre Ter historical
value than any similar collection ever
made in the two States.
Very low passage rates to the Ex
position have been granted by all the
railroads, aud the admission fee is
placed at only halt the usual charge
for such exhibitions, but the desire Of
the management Is that every one
may avail themselves of the opportu
nifty which offers SO much of interest
along Art and Educational lines.
Arrangements are being made to
accommodate the large crowds that will
be here during the month of May. To
give some idea of the events outside of
the Exposition, which is of course the
main attraction, that are to occur IN
May, it may be we'll to recall few.
State Lodge of Odd Fellows meet;
General Assembly Of the Presbyter-
ian Church in session; State Dental
Society and Board of Dental Examl
ners convene; Inter State bicycle races
will be held; Interstate hremen' S
meet with hremen's races; baseball
games between leading Southern teams;
d series of theatrical attraCtlons; and
any number of entertainments both at
the Exposition and elsewhere; lectures
and addresses by prominent men,
while one of the leading Southern
women will deliver the opening ad
dress OF the Women, Exp ,si;lon, and
Others will foil ~ Ia al lres,es and lee
lures.
These are pr: If the attractions,
which all CONT .,-d goes to show that
there will be drawn together snch
gathering as has seldom been seen in
the history of the State.

Tribute to the Doctors.

The following merited tribute to
the herosm and devotion to duty Of
surgeons in the army, is selection
sent us by our Ringwood correspon-
dent &c. E. NJ"
Persons who glorify military opera
tiOns do not always stop to think that
they could scarcely be undertaken with
out the aid of the medical staff. Here
are men who must be consulted at every
turn; who suffer toll and anxietyin order
to keep the troops at their fighting best,
and who in the day of action, risk their
lives as truly as if they were heading a
column. BtackwooG's tells the story of an
English surgeon who was mortally
wounded at Majuba Hill, and who yet
performed an act worthy to be mated
with that of Sir Philip Sidney on the
field of Zutphen. The agony of death
was closing in upon him, he had sue
cumbed to his own hurt and weakness,
but just at that moment he heard
wounded man shrieking in an extremity
of pain. That was enough, and he
crawled to the spot where the soldier
lay, gave him an injection of morphine,
and died
During the Ashanti war in 1874, the
English force was hOtly engaged at Am
raful, and one regiment was galantly
making its way through the bush Sew
eral men had fallen, and every surgeon
connected with the fighting line was fully
occupied, when suddenly two Highland
ers appeared, bearing between them a
gallant old officer who had been shot in
the neck. The arterial blood was spurt
ing like q fountain from the wound, and
the principal medical officer at once rec
ognized the danger of the case. eff that
man is not attended to, said ne, cody,
che will be dead in five minutes.' And
though they were at the moment in an
open space exposed to almost inevitable
death, he stopped short and applied
himself to his task. He extemporized u
support for the poor fellows head, and
laid him down. Then while the ugly
"phit! phit'' of bullets sounded about
them, he tied the carotid artery with az
steady a hand, and as unshaken nurve
as if he had been in an operating room
One brave man had done his duty with
the simplicity of true herOism, and an
other brave man had been saved for the
service of his country &. f. NJ.

SPRING.
By RUTH RAYMOND.

A spirit wanders through the wood
And by the sobbing sea.
Ger hedge and blue, with art divine,
She touches shrub and tree.
The willows tremble meath her hand,
Then fluffy balls appear.
And blades of grass are dimly seen
On hillsideS dark and drear.
The gentle epirit bends to kiss
A bank Of darkSOme mould,
And viOletS blue delight the view,
With tiny hearts of gold.
She bids the song birds hither fly,
On swift and tireless wing;
Their merry lays repeat her praise,
Fair spirit of the Spring.

LEAN MEAT.
1t Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.

1t Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat. it may surprise many to
learn, is much moro watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by tho
statement that very lean meat may con-
tam ms much rs rs per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent. The flesh of fish is moro
watery than ordinary butcher meat.
Thus salmon contains -cighths of its
total weight of water, cod four fifths
and founders six seventies.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but IA small percentage of
water, and consequently as dry food,
are flour and oatmeal, and sugar is
food entirely devoid of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to q
machine. and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
wo eat, and i'll default of food tho ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment of tho work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value of q food may be estimated
i'll terms of the amount of heat it will
give rise to- The most concentrated food
fuel is fat When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either the alhuminoids
orthe carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess Il much greater heating
value than nonfatty foods. -Philadel-
