OBSERVER.

! Mr. Editor 1T has been quite
a while since | wrote you.
But | have some complaints to
make, which have prompted me
to risk the refusal Of this, and
your everlasting hatred of the
writer. Enough.
First, why does the city council
allow the wood haulers to pack
the principal street with their
wagons and an armful of wood
standing SO close in every con-
ceivable way that buggy can t
pass. Is it not the marshall
business to have them stop on
some side street?' n
Don't you think the present
city fathers would receive some of
the sweetest smiles that could be
produced by Marietta's prettiest
young ladies, if they would APP
point and pay man to sweep the
peanut hulls off the sidewalk in
front of the court house in peanut
season, or make the vender keep
his place of business clean?
think the managers of our
County Fair made great mis-
take III not giving the mechanics
OF Cobb some encouragement to
display their farm machinery, fur
nlture, etc, made of Cobb county
lumber, by Cobb county work
men, and confne it to Cobb county
men.
| would like to ask what kind
OF stuff is 1t the Marietta 15ct.
dudes use that makes them smell
SO loud? Is it decayed teeth or
their breath? If either one, guano
would be fine remedy, and pref
cradle to men who don't use to-
bacco or bad whiskey.
L notice several open bolls of
cotton this morning in my field.
The rain is damaging corn and
cotton considerably, but is the
very life Of grass and morning
glOries.
Several of the churches are car
rylng on protracted meeting The
ministers are trying to direct the
people in the right way. | hold
they are perfectly right in a town
where the streets have no name
and the houses no number. But
here III the country, man is
perfectly safe; at every fork or
cross road the Ordinary has had
from one to three sign boards
nailed up, to keep you in the
straight road. No danger of 60
ing astray.
Webster or Toombs, | don't
know which now, said that a
hornet was a fine animal to look
upon, but a hard thing to nurse.

THINGS QUEER IN MEXICO,

According to law all books of cor.
porations must be kept in the language
of the country.
Mexican men and women carefully
refold their handkerchiefs before re-
turning them to their pockets.
Milk is delivered from house to
house from large cans with a fat side
that are slung w a burro's back.
Women doctors are practically I'M
known and the first woman to be ad-
mitted to the bar recently took her
examination.
Most doctors have signs as large as
those of the dry goods stores, reach
ing clear across the front of their
office buildings.
Judges. take a more active part in
trials than in the States, and, as a
rule, question the prisoner and wit

The City of Mexico owns a closed
street car without windows that is
used for transporting prisoners from
one part of the city to another.
As a usual rule commercial houses
have certain hours for paying just as
q bank and many of them only make
payment one day in the week.
It is sometimes necessary to hold
court at least for a short time on Sun
day as under the law jury trials can
not be continued for a longer time
than twenty-four hours.
Mexican butchers have no use for
saws. They cut beefsteaks, chops
and everything else with one big thick
knife, weighing several pounds, that
they use both as knife and cleaver.
To the lowest classes of Indians and
poems knives and forks are unknown.
They deftly convey their food to their
mouths with a piece of tortilla, the
corn cake that forms the staff of life of
the common people.
No distractions whatever can be
placed in the streets without authori-
ty from the municipal authorities. A
painter must even get permission to
put up his scafold from which topaint
a sign on a building.-Modern Mexico.

Hints.

.Buttermilk will take out milde~,
Scrape pots and kettles with a broad
knife.
Hot water and fine Goals will clean
bottles.
Clean zinc with hot soapy water,
then polish with kerosene.
The best glass towels are made from
old napkins and tablecloths.
Keep big Jumps of charcoal in dark,
damp corners, to purify the air.
= Cold boiled potatoes may be made
into potatoes au Gratin or creamed po-
tatoes.
Lamps, lanterns, andirons, ETC.,
made of wrought iron, may be easily
cleaned with piece of cotton rag just
moistened with Kerosene.
To keep oak furniture we'll polished,
steep alkanet root in linseed oil, then
rub on and brush with a stiff brush
which will reach every part of the
carved surface.
A truth which cannot be too often
insisted on is, that much of the work
done at a table can be more comfort
ably and healthfully done by using a
high stool instead of standing.
A thermometer which can be fast
ened on the outside of an oven door
is useful in baking soufaes or delicate
dishes, as it does away with the need
Of opening the door till the article is
done.
For rubbing highly-polished wood,
metal, or other smooth surfaces, some
housekeeping experts claim that fan
mel is less likely to scratch than
chamois, and that silkoline is also
good for cleaning handsome furni-
ture.
To keep polished tables from being
defaced by hot dishes, put a sheet of
asbestos paper under the felt cloth.
For tea or lunch, where doilies are
used instead of tablecloth, the table
may be protected from the hot dishes
by asbestos mats covered with prettily-
embroidered doilies.
To keep hanging baskets from dry
ing out is the chief point Of import
ance in their care. A very good
method is to hang the basket where it
can be sprinkled every day, either
with a watering pot, using a generous
of water or with a whisk broom.
Dip the broom in water slightly
warmed, shake it a little to remove the
weight of water, then, by
whisking it quickly over the plants, a
fine spray can be thrown, which is
better than the spray from the water.

umbrella, which it is predicted will be
all the fashion. They are made OF

Regularity in feeding, both as t
time and quantity and quality of food

Good feed and plenty of it early i,
the life of the animal is what secures
the Raxir,um development and lay
the foundation for future usefulness.
An Iowa stockman claims that humps
on the jaw, of cattle, particularly those
recently tehorned, are often caused
by vicious jabs given by the sharp
horned youngsters running with the
herd.

L~amb-creeps and %pig-creeps are
good things in giving the young stock
a start in life. You will be surprised
to see how young they will begin to
eat and how much they will consume
if the right kind of foods is provided.
A Michigan dairyman writes that by
judicious breeding and feeding and
careful selection by the test, keeping
only the best cows and caring for
them properly, he has in three years
raised the test of his herd from less
than four per cent. to over five per
cent, and reduced the cost of butter
three cents a pound.
There is apparently little foundation
for the claim made by some feeders
that most of the nutriment has been
taken out of the grain which passes
the animal whole; often the loss is
sufficient to twice pay for grinding the
feed. Agood farm mill will often pay
for itself in a single winters feeding.
The hoofs of the horses must be
properly trimmed or they will
grow long and ill-shaped, then per-
haps split; or they will grow long in
front, throwing the foot back upon
the heel, which sometimes sprains
the large tendons of the limbs. Colts

feet handled.
It doesn't pay to let the hogs sleep
around the straw stack or in the man

worst possible places for them, on
account Of the dust and dampness and
the foul, heated air out of which they
will rush to their feed and stand in a
zero temperature till thoroughly chill

Preservation of Eggs.

The Berliner Markthallenzeitune
reports about experiments made fol
the purpose of securing the most ia.
tional method of preserving eggs.
This being a topic of general interest,
beg to give hereafter an extract of
the results obtained, as described in
the said journal:
Twenty methods were selected for
these experiments. In the first days
Of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared
according to these methods twenty
eggs for each method), to be opened
for use at the end of the month of
February.
OF course, a most essential point
for the success of preservation is that
only really fresh eggs be employed.
AS the most infallible means of ascer-
tanning the age of the eggs the expert
mentist designated the specific weight
Of same. With fresh eggs it is from
l.O784 to 1.O942, If the eggs are put
into a solution of 100 grammes (4.23
ounces) of common salt in one litre
(1.O567 quarts) of water, the specific
weight of which solution is 1,O73, all
the eggs that swim on this liquid
weigh less, and consequently are not
fresh. Only those eggs that sink
should be used for preservation.
When, after eight months of preser-
~vation, the eggs were opened for use,
the twenty different methods en-
ployed gave the most heterogeneous
results:
~ Egss put for preservation in
salt water were all bad mot rotten,
but UNBEATABLE, the salt having pene-
trated into the eggs.
(2) Eggs wrapped in paper, eighty
per cent. bad.
(3) Eggs preserved in a solution of
acid and glycerin, eighty per
cent. bad.
az Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy
per cent. bad.-From the United
