About Salt.

A. little salt rubbed on the cups
will take off tea stains. Put into
whitewash it will make it stick better.
AS tooth powder it will keep the
teeth white and the gums hard and
rosy. 1t is one Of the best gargles for
sore throat and preventive Of dipthe-
ria il taken in time. Use salt and
water to clean willow furniture; apply
with brush and rub dry. Salt and
water held in the mouth after having
a tooth pulled will stop the bleeding.
Prints rinsed with it in the water will
hold their color and look brighter.
Two teaspoonfuls in half pint of
tepid water is an emetic always on
hand, and is an antidote for poisoning
from nitrate of silver. Neuralgia Of
the feet and limbs can be cured by
bathing night and morning with salt
and water as hot as can be borne.
When taken out, rub the feet briskly
with coarse towel. Salt and water
is one of the best remedies for sore
eyes, and if applied in time will scat
ter the inflammation. Silk handker-
chiefs and ribbons should be washed
in salt water, and ironed wet, to ob-
tain the best results. Food would be
insipid and tasteless without it.
Hemorrhages of the lungs or stom-
ach are promptly checked by small
doses Of salt.

White Sulphur Springs in West Vir-
ginia, the Hot Springs, the Warm

Springs Of North Carolina and others
at Lincolnton and Shelby, N. c.,
Sweet Water and Bowden, near At
lanta, are few Of the iron, chaly-
beate or sulphur springs belonging to
the Virginias, the Carolinas, Tennes-
see and Georgia, situated in healthy
places and surrounded by picturesque
views which are attracting every year
greater number Of visitors than be-
fore. To most Of these springs direct
railroad connection is had with the
cities of the North, West and farther
South, and each year finds improve
ments and additional attractions, none
of which. however, mar the beauties
which have been created by nature.
Typical of them all, perhaps, are
those in the vicinity Of Asheville, N.
C. The development of that section
as health resort for both the summer
and winter is largely due to the enter
prise of the railroads and the delight
Of wealthy persons who have once
visited it. The city of Asheville
itself is monument of the apprecia-
tion of the South as a sanitarium. It's
population consists largely Of tourists
or Of those persons who. orce seeing
it, have determined to make it their
home for life. Nearby is the magnif
cent Biltmore estate, an attraction
which casual visitors are permitted to
enjoy. Then there is the Cloudland
Hotel, on the top of Roam mountain,
at an elevation Of 6, 400 feet, and COM
manding view of $4,000 miles Of
territory in seven States-the two
Virginias, two Carolinas, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Georgia.
From this place there is an easy ac-
cess by an excellent mountain turn
pike to other resorts, such as Eseeola
Inn, at Linnville, and the accomoda-
tions at Blowing Rock, where spring
atmosphere seems to abide eternally.
By another route one reaches Waynes-
Vile, filled with the healing odors of

tage for observing magnificent views

and the whole topped by Mount Mitch
ell, Grandfather, Roam and Clingman's
Peak. Across the border lies the
Lookout mountain, overhanging Chat
tanooga. Not far away is Chickamau-
ga, which seems destined to be the
place of attraction for thousands Of
hearts, if not of feet, during the COM
ing summer. The very fact which has
made Chickamauga a mobilization CEN
ter for armies of the United States is
that which will Undue, a large patron
age of the Southern mountain resorts
this year. No one can doubt that
timidity on the part of many persons
will lead them to select the mountains
for their summer outing, instead Of
the seashore.
The resorts all along thes coast will
probably have good business, but
they must share to greater extent
now than ever that business with the
secure, health giving, comfortable and
picturesque resorts Of the Appalach-
ians.

SUMMER IN THE SOUTH.
Its Mountain Resorts to be in Greater
Demand Than Ever.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturer Record.
The coming summer is likely to be
marked by decided increase in the
patronage of the mountain resorts Of
the South. For more than half cen
tury the people of the South who have
had the means and the leisure have
been accustomed to divide their sum-
mers between the resorts of the North
and some Of the older ones. of the
South. In former years there was a
regular migration with the on-coming
Of warm weather from the lowlands to
the mountains. The plantation fami-
lies or the dwellers in cities of the
plains made the pilgrimage, enlivened
with the change to out-of-door life on
the route, and spent at least month
in some retreat like that Of the old
Greenbrier White or some of the
lesser resorts whose name is now only
memory. Wealthy families from
New Orleans or Mobile travelled by
steamboat and in their private equip
ages overland to the heights Of the
Appalachian range, and there remained
until the on-coming of cooler weather
or continued their happy journey to
Saratoga or one of the seaside resorts
just in their beginnings. That was in
the days before the railroads had made
accessible and had aided in the devel-
opment of many resorts which now
rank with the best that the North has
or ever had.
There are many distinct advantages
possessed by these summer refugees.
Though many of them have all the
conveniences of table and appoint
ments, they are still close to the
wilderness Of the woods. Within the
walk Of a well-arranged hotel are
magnificent stretches of scenery, op-
portunities for sportsmen and tempta-
tions to the invalid to WOO health in
close communion with nature. The
,inter migration from the North to
Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Ala
bama and Louisiana has become a
permanent fact in American life; but
the South is not only an immense
sanitarium for the winter, but also for
the whole year. From Mason and
Dixon's line clear into Alabama and
to Georgia the Appalachian range
forms unending lines of beauty. Not
as bold as the Rockies, nor as sharply
defined, perhaps, as the New England
Mount Washington, the ranges Of the
Blue Ridge are yet most pleasing in
their changing color under different
skies, their sweeping forms, and, as
they rise to North Carolina, their COM
manding elevations. Comparatively
few persons realize that in Western
North Carolina there are forty-three
mountains more than 5000 feet high,
towering above others ranging from
1900 feet down, and one Of the chief
attractions about these mountains is
that they have nothing of the worn
appearance Of the better-known peaks
Of the East, but are full Of pleasant
surprises and give opportunity for
ever changing vistas to him who idles
among them.
Moreover, the Appalachian range is
really an immense mineral fountain.

hirsute adornment was genuine.
Mrs. Reynolds, the mother of Willie,

her own, which reaches to the tops of
her shoes. and from her Willie undoubt-

Never since his birth has his hair
been cut, with the exception of one
day last summer, when drunken Chi

lad and with big pair of shears
clipped off three inches of his precious
hair. Willie cried for week over the
loss of part of his treasure and the
Chinaman narrowly escaped a lawsuit.
The strangest thing about this case
is the fact that Willie clings to his hair
with a devotion equal to that of Sir
Galahad or his quest for the Golden
Grail. Perhaps the lad thinks the
Golden Grail is his already, for be said

why he dodn't want his hair cut off like

am going to make money to help sup

The lads hair is so heavy and so long
that the greater portion is rolled up on
top of his head, while golden pigtail
tied with an invariable blue ribbon
hangs down his back. He proudly
consented to have his hair in all its
beauty (there is no question about

Curiosities OF the Calendar.

There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every 20
years. October always begins on the
same day of the week as January, April
as July, September as December. Feb
ruary, March and November begin on
the same days. May, June and August
always begin on differen! days from
each other and every other month in
the year. The first and last days of the
year are always the same. These rules
do not apply to leap year, when COM
psrison is made between days before
and after February 20. - Saturday
