North Carolina had never acknowl-

Franklin, and, after csding the terri
tory, proceeded to abrogate the ces-
sion, and began to try to overthrow the
government of Franklin and the au-
thority of Sewer. The result was a
dual government. At last, however,
North Carolina succeeded in over
throwing the authority of Sewer, and
he was arrested, charged with high
treason against the state of North Car
olina, was taken to Morgantown for
trial, and during the trial was released
and carried back to Watauga by a
party of his friends. He was 9utiswed

FATTENING STOCK.
Feeding Nitrogc1Ous Foods In Con.
nection with Corn Is the Most
Scientific System.

The writer does not believe in con-
fining the diet of fattening animals en-
tirely to corn, except, perhaps, during
the last week or two of life. Corn is
too carbonaceous to employ alone. by
feeding heterogeneous foods in conncc-
ton with corn we are following a more
reasonable and scientific method, and
are sure of securing increased weight
as well as better quality of meat prod
ucts. Glover and alfalfa are the ideal
forage crops for sheep, hogs and cattle.
and young animals in general cannot
have better life than to run upon pas
lures, upon which these leguminous
plants are making thrifty growth; and
the mature stock preparing for the
shambles should also get plenty OF
clover or alfalfa (either green or dried
into hay), in connection with their Ia.
tons of grain.
There can be no doubt but that beeves
with reasonable feeds of clover will be
able to digest more corn and do it to
better purpose than if corn alone were
fed them while fattening.
Furthermore, | would always use
bran and linsecd or cottonseed meal
to mix with the corn meal, that is, when.
ever prices would admit OF such meth
cd of procedure. That such is better
than the feeding of simple corn or corn
meal does not admit of any doubt, since
the bran not only contains protein;
but also possesses such mechanical
lightness as to separate the particles
of the heavier meal and allow the proc.
css Of digestion to proceed more easily,
rapidly and thoroughly. Then the oil
meals are not only good for fattening
but give variety and promote assimila

We in the east do not realize the eX

land. Many villages have no American
residents, except the merchant and the
doctor, with perhaps saloon keeper or
two. All the rest are native MeXicans.

pretend they cannot understand II,

of foreigners can be soon changed.
The country is full; it is peopled about
to the limit of what it will support, un-
less the scanty rainfull be impounded

Be particular to dry the hands and
feet of a child well. Dampness left be-
tween the toes may cause soreness or
even a corn, which may be troublesome
to get rid of. In washing the hands do
not leave any dirt between the fingers;
press the skin back from the nails and
slightly pinch the tips of the fingers
after every washing if you want your
children to have pretty hands and nails.
A little trouble taken at the first will
save a great deal of bother afterwards.
The children should be taught, when
old enough, to do this for themselves.
They should be taught to take pride in

GLASS HOUSES HOLD HEAT.
Glass In Waves of Light, be-
comes Heat and Cannot Escape.

1t is very curious, said the old pro-
fessor of physics, to see how many
market gardeners there are who raise
things under glass, make money out
of the process and yet do not know
why their heating frames and their hot
houses remain hot inside.
Now, as a matter of fact, the heat
mechanism of hothouse depends on
well-known proposition in physics. l
suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun
travels in the form of little waves.
The energy does not come down to US
in straight lines; it comes, as it were,
in a zigzag manner, dancing from side
to side as it comes along. If these waves
are very short, light is the result; II
they are trifie longer, they take the
form of heat.
If the light waves strike anything
on the way down, they are very apt to
be turned into heat. Now, the waves
which form light are so short that they
will readily pass through glass, but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you may see
why a dollhouse remains hot. The
energy from the sun passes into the
house through the glass roof in the
form of light. Then it strikes the OBJ
iects in the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
1-aC,,r 11+ linn nd ha
hothouses become very warm indeed
even on the coolest days in winter.
OF course our dwelling houses are
heated by the sun in the same way.
The light comes in through the win
dows, but the heat cannot pass out

WELL-DRESSED WOMEN.
They Differ from Those Whose Ap.
pareI Is Unattractive In Tell
Tale TriHes Only.

Every normally constituted woman
desires, rightly enough, TO appear pleas
ing to those with whom she comes into
association. This feeling, in its proper
expression, is not vanity; it is COM
mendable and eminently right, for it is
one of the forces which go to make liv-
ing a more pleasant thing. 1t is only
when this natural and worthy ambi-
tion subordinates other and more i'm
portant aims that it becomes offensive
and dangerous. The elements of feml-
nine attraction are many, including
those of nature and those derived from
one of the most important is the art of
dressing well, and that art consists not
so much in richness of attire as in con-
siderate attention to details. So good
an authority as Harper's Bazaar, touch
ing upon the topic, says: The main
respect in which the well-dressed wom-
an differs from her whose apparel is un-
attractive is in the trifieS which make
a costume elegant. The pretty shoe, the
handsome stocking, the wellditting
glove and the becoming veil add a finish
that makes a woman what is known as
well dressed. No one can afford to neg
lect these little things. The well-laun-
dered collar and cuffs and the correct
tie attract the attention of the average
observer much sooner than do the ele-
gance of the material of a gown and
the style in which it is made. If a cos
tune fits well it depends on the wearer
to make it stylish. In this day of vast
variety and beauty in neckwear a cos
tune may be made as elaborate OF as Sc
we're as the owner wishes"
