LAY Two HUNDRED EGGs.-How
can we produce hens that will lay 200
eggs per annum? By scientific breed
ing, as for a good butter COW or COW
mixer, as for good trotter or high
Jumping horse. Experiments have
been made to increase the number of
rows of corn on the cob with success.
The same method is applicable to
poultry breeding. We will start with
a hen that lays 120 eggs. Some of her
chicks will lay $50 per year. From
these we will pick out layers, and so
on until 200 or better are the result.
At the same time, it is just as essen
tial to breed out of males from prolific
layers as it is the females ; in fact, it is
more 30. If we look after the breed
ing of the females only we will intro
duce on the male side blood which is
lacking in proficiency, and thus check
every attempt in progress. 1t is just
as essential that the male should be
from the hen which lays IT'S eggs and
from a male that was bred from hen
that laid $50 eggs as it is that the hen
should be from one that laid It's and
whose mother laid $50 eggs.

BUYING A HORsE.-If you want to
buy horse, take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy
horse in harness. Unhitch him and
take everything off but the halter and
lead him around. If he has any fail
ing you can see it. Let him 60 away
by himself, and if he walks. right into
anything you know he is blind. No
matter how clear and bright his eyes
are, he can't see any more than bat.
Back him, too. Some horses show
their weakness or tricks in that way
when they don't in any other. But be
as smart as you can, you'll get stuck.
A horse may look ever 80 nice and 60
great pace and yet have fits. There
isn't a man who could tell it until
something happens. Or, he may have
weak back. Give him the whip and
off he goes for a mile or two, then all
of sudden he stops in the road. At
ter a rest he starts again but soon
stops for good, and nothing but a der
rick can start him.-Southern Stock
Farm.

GOOD CHOW CHow.-Slice green to-
matoes, sprinkle with salt and let
stand over night, then drain and chop.
Take 4 quarts chopped tomatoes, 8
quarts cabbage, 2 quarts onions, 8
large peppers, half-cup horseradish, 8
pints good cider vinegar, tablespoon
cinnamon, teaspoon each ground nut
meg, cloves and allspice, and half cup
sugar. If one has celery, from one
fourth to third of the onions may
be omitted and celery used instead.
This chow chow requires no cooking,
and never fails to keep if the vinegar
is good. 1t should be kept in glass or
earthen jars and be always covered
with the vinegar. If one has no vege-
table cutter, the onions, horseradish
and celery may be put through meat
cutter or sausage grinder and thus
save much tedious chopping.

CIDER VINEGAR 1t is not general
ly known, even among farmers, that
the apple crop can be converted into
vinegar, and made ready for market
in less than 80 days. The usual plan
is to let time do the work, requiring
from six months to one year. There is
a much quicker, and far more certain
plan, and one by which the surplus
fruit OF any kind, can be made into
June vinegar, in very short time en-
abling the farmer to supply his Gus
toners with June vinegar, at profit
able rates.
The vinegar factory will contist of
your old cider vinegar barrel with
from 10 to Is gallons of cider or fruit
vinegar. Set the barrel or tub of ci-
der, on level with the top of the
vinegar barrel, and permit the cider to
drip into the old vinegar, at the rate
of pint per hour, which is three gal.
Ions per day. This small addition will
be converted, by the old vinegar, into
good merchantable vinegar. Arrange
for overflow of the factory barrel, in
any way to suit yourself-or when
nearly full, draw off three gallons per
day.

ANYTHING TO PLEASE.-She sailed
into the telegraph Office and raped on
the counter. The clerk remembered,
as he came forward to meet her, that
she had been there about 10 minutes
before. He wondered what she want
ed this time.
"Oh," she said, "let me have the
telegram I wrote just now. 1 forgot
something very important. I wanted
to underscore the words perfectly
lovely in acknowledging the receipt
of that bracelet. Will it cost any
thing extra?"
"No, ma'am," said the clerk as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy
lines beneath the words, and said:
"It's awfully good of you to let me
do that. 1t will please Charley very
much"
"Don't mention it," said the clerk.
eff you would like it, I will drop a
few drops of violet extract on the
telegram at the same time"
"Oh! thank you, sir. You don't
know how much 1 would appreciate it.

ing"

sible exception of Charley.-Baltimore

In China, fenced off from the rest of
the world by mountain and desert, the
Mongolian character reached its full
fruition, and the Chinese of today in
their speech, their government, their
religion and their social customs rep
resent the Babylonians, the Medes
and the Egyptians.
1t seems incredible that a nation
embracing many millions ofinhabitants
and covering a vast area Of the worlds
surface, should have stretched out its
existence through forty.fve centuries
of war and turmoil and conquest.
Assyria, Persia, Egypt, Greece and
Rome, in turn, arose, extended its elm.
pire and sank into the grave of nations,
but all of this shifting of power and
changing of the face of the world had
no effect whatever on the destiny of
China. Only, during the present cen,
tury can it be said that European in
fuence has penetrated even slightly
the outer crust of this curious relic
among the nations. During the past
few years the invasion of Europeans
has reached a point which might we'll
bring alarm to the conservative Chi
nese. The restless current of the
the worlds progress has reached the
foundations of this ancient structure
and it must be tumbled down.
What the Chinese Empire must do
is clear to every observer of our times.
Indeed, if it were allowed TO retain its
individuality for another century or
two it would be the strangest thing
connected with all its strange history.
Its doom is sealed. Every one recog-
nizes that it is an encumhrance upon
the earth and block to, human pro.
gress, yet one cannot look upon the
destruction of this ancient empire
without emotions much akin to those
awakened by the overthrow of some
splendid monument or the pulling
down of q stately and magnificent ruin.
The blast of the locomotive whistle in
the valleys of the Whang Ho sounds
like the crash of the steel drills into
the walls of the pyramids or the tenn.
Piles of Luxor.
The Chinaman was q scholar and
philosopher long before the savage
Caucasian had learned to clothe him
self in bearskin or had exchanged his
cave den for the bark hut; but now
the Caucasian has come to the walls Of
the Mongol Castle, walls gray with age
long before the Caucasian was born,
and means to pull them down.
This hungry Caucasian goes every
where on Gods green earth. He never
rests, he is never weary. He carries
in one hand peddler's pack, in the
other a bayonet. When he finds
door locked against him he goes away
and returns again with a battering
ram. Diplomacy, negotiation, bribery
or force may be employed; but the
door must open. China can no more
hope to MAINTAIN its isolation in the
modern world than could the sturdy
Cherokee keep his village on the banks
of the Oostanaula. The concentrated
weight of an enlightened and aggres.
sive age lies against the antiquated
wall and the mighty pressure cannot
be withstood. 1t is the pressure OF
steam, of electricity, and that most
resistless of all missiles, superior in
tellect.
The contest between decaying China
and civilized Europe and America is
like struggle between some ponder
Gus and helpless antediluvian monster
and steel clad giant armed with
electricity and dynamite.

Gregg was a familiar figure about
Chester. He was pursuing the study
of medicine when the war. broke out,
and we believe his course was never
completed. After the war closed, the
Union sentiment was 80 strong and
bitter in his neighborhood that he was
forced to leave there for safety. He
drifted over into North Carolina, was
in Charlotte for some years, and in
1872 came to Chester in the employ OF
S. B. Meacham & Co., in the shoe bus
mess. Later he and Mr.. ]. D. Means
became proprietors of this business
and conducted it with marked success.

he accumulated fortune of perhaps
$4,000. DR.. Gregg was never mar

brothers already named, he leaves a
brother and three sisters in Tennessee
He was probably about 81 years old.

CHAPPED HANDS AND Soap. -
Chapped hands are often the effect oi
using too much soap. The acids OF
the soap destroy the oil glands and
cells of the skin. The way to cure
chapped hands is to use less soap, and
always use a little powdered borax in
the water. Tepid water is better for
the hands than too hot or cold water.
Warm bora1 water used for cleaning
the hands, and nightly rubbing with
cucumber or almond cream, will cure
the worst case of chapped hands, and
prevent them from getting in that
condition again.
