rhr rIe..lng. Of : Summer Stove.


No housekeeper who has once used
one will ever tolerate coal or wood
fires in her kitchen in hot weather,
though she sacrifice dozen other i'm
poriant wants" in order to secure
immunity from their torturiag heat.
Gas stoves are always a pose 5ility in
cities, but in small towns aud in the
country those for gasolene or oil only
are available. Both kinds have been
brought to such state of perfection
that there is little or nothing left to
be desired in their use. Oil stoves
require frequent cleaning and trim
ming to keep odorless, SO preference
lies with gasolene Every farmhouse
in the land should possess one, and
the blessings that each would bring
during the eternal summers cooking
to some burdened woman simply could
not be measured. They do not Tex
plode, as popularity supposed, and as
investigation will prove, every acct
dent is directly traceable to some act
of gross carelessness which, other
wise directed, would render dangerous
many things in common use in the
household. = Woman's Home Com

To keep fresh beef, pork or sausage
during tho hot weather, prepare as
for the table, fry very lightly, pack
closely in glass, stone or tin fruit
jars, cover with hot lard, seal and set
away. When wanted for use, open
the jar and set where the lard will
melt, then take ous as much meat as
is needed, reseal the jar and set away
again. This is much better than COW
ering with lard in open jars, as the
meat is almost sure to get strong in
warm weather, and always does after
jar is opened if not used at once,
but when sealed it keeps indefinitely.
When pouring on the hot lard, care
must be taken not to break glass jars
or to unsolder tin ones, aud the lard
should not be boiling. Those who
have sealed fruit with cotton batting
and know how admirably it keeps may
perhaps prefer to use straight, open
mouthed, gallon stone jars for the
meat, as they would be little more
convenient than smaller fruit jars. II
covered first with a heavy paper, cut
Just to fit, then with two layers Of
cotton batting tied on securely, aud
over all stout'cloth or paper to pre-
vent the cotton being torn, it will keep
as well as when regularly sealed, and
meats thus treated will be as palatable
late in the summer as though freshly
butchered. American Agriculturist.

A novelty in wicker furniture is a
wide chair or narrow settle as You
elect 10 describe ii. It has very
high back, and 10 evidently modelled
alters the high English draught chairs
that are popular in many drawing
rooms. The new shadings Of wicker
furniture combine almost every tint
known, with, however, the sealing wax
red aud the forest green still much in
evidence. Spanish yellow is another
fashionable color, but with these de-
eided shades come many delicate hues,
making il possible to match any sort
Of hangings in furniture. The .dnra-
bility and cleanliness Of tie wicker
furniture is adding markedly to its
use as all-around service, while the
possibility of relieving it with pillows
aud cushions brings it within the
limits Of upholstered comfort. NJ

Appeal to Superior Court.


Appeal to Superior Court.
Ten dollars and cost was the judg-
ment OF Justice Lehman in the case
OF Julius Hester, the boy charged
with defacing the Exposition car at
Kernersyille Tuesday night OF last
week.
Mr.. G. b. Watson gave notice of an
appeal to the Superior Court.
The case was tried in the Superior
Court room. 1t was begun at IL
O'Clock Friday and concluded at Els
The boy testified that he did not do
it. Several other witnesses were ex-
amined, but they could not state pos
itively for nor against the defendant
Capt Moore, one OF the managers
and owners of the car, and his porter.
Thos. Tyson, colored, were confident
that Hester was guilty. The last
witness said he saw him scratching
the car with either knife or nail
Mr.. Watson made a strong argu-
ment for the defendant. as did Mr. E.
B Jones for the State.
The Justice stated before rendering
his judgment that he believed the
boy was guilty, but that he could not
punish him without doing the same
by his father, therefore he would let
both off as easy as possible by sus-
pending Judgment on payment OF
cost.
Mr. Watson at once gave notice OF
appeal, whereupon Mr. Jones request
ed Justice Lehman to impose a fine
and give the other side something to
appeal from.
The court announced that it sup
posed the first decision would prove
satisfactory to all parties concerned,
but that if an appeal was to be taken
he would fine the boy $40 and cost,
which he did.
Mr.. Watson said he did not believe
the boy was guilty. He referred to re-
ports sent out TO the papers To the
effect that the car was damaged to
the amount of $500. He added that
Mr.. Vaughn had informed him their
sign only cost $3.50.
Mr.. Jones replied by saying that he
did not discuss the amount Of damage
done to the car, but he could say that
LOckett, Vaughn & Co.'S sign was not
the only one injured.
Capt. Moore stated to THE SENTI.
MEL man that the report published in
the papers regarding the damage was
true.
