ROOTS FOR LIVE STOCK.

On account of the large amount of
water they contain, COWS on roots are
never as thirsty in winter time as they
otherwise would be.
If roots have not been cleansed Of
all particles of dirt when placed in
storage in the fall, they should be
cleansed with plenty of water prior to
feeding.
The dairyman who feeds roots to bis
cows in midwnter is always wise
cne, no matter how plentifully his
silo, hay NOW and granary may be
stocked.
A neighbor Of mine had COW to
which he fed bushel Of turnips daily,
and, although on hay diet besides.
he said she never drank any water in
three weeks, although offered it daily.

were s,Ine of the men who composet
the constitutional convention of l796.
While Sewer was not a member o
the convention, he was then the fore
most man of the time and Influenced
its proceedings.
OF them Mr.. Bancroft said:
"They came together full Of faith
and reverence, of love to humanity, o!
confidence in truth. In the simplicity
of wisdom they framed their constitu
tion; acting under higher influences
than they were conscious of.
They wrought in sad sincerity,
Themselves from God they could not FREQ
They builded better than they knew;
The conscious stones to beauty grew"
They are but types of their associates,
and wers opponents OF the sentiments,
principles and forces that distinguished
the period we commemorate. They
alone neither made the State, nor con.
stituted it's strength. With them stood
others too numerous to name on this
occasion, whose lives were generously
devoted to the work that was accom-
plished.
Close up to them was ranged con-
stituency, which, in their general
characteristics, approXimated their
leaders more nearly than has been the
case at any subsequent period of our
history. 1t is significant fact that Of
the 112 names affixed to petition and
remonstrance from Watauga settle
ment in l776, to North Carolina, all but
two were written by the parties them
selves.
They founded State in the wilder
ness, and made that epoch in our his
tory which we celebrate today.
What cardinal principles did they
illustrate and impress upon the govern
ment they created? What did they
consider necessary for securing happi-
ness, prosperity, strength and en-
Cuiance?
We are not at loss to answer these
questions. They stand out with en-
phatic prominence in their history.
Unlike most of our other settlements,
they preceded government, and took nc
constituted authority with them. Nc
people with such primitive surroundings
ever turned with more direct and in
tense purpose to the establishment of a
social system on a solid basis, and as
suring its expansion and permanence
by recognition and practical applica
tion of those forces which always tend
to larger life, increasing power and
stability.
Religious faith, the substratum and
living force in all social order, freedom
of religion, the first flower of liberty
education, the imponderab unseen
but potent and immeasureabl pow er
which vitalizes and uplifts society and
endows it's possesSors, whether indi
viduals or nations, with superior ad
vantages in the sharp conflict of life
patriotism, which, with altruistic de
votion, effaces self and sacrifices per
sonal advantage to the public good
economy in the administration of pub
lie affairs, the preservation of order and
the enforcement of law. the democratic
principle which allows the largest lib
erty to the individual consistent will
social order, these composed the con
stellation of vivifying and conserving
principles which they illustrated, ar
which have been the source of all oul

Satisfying Nature.

If people only ate more fruit they
would take less medicine and have much
better health. There is an old saying
that fruit is gold in the morning and
lead at night. AS a matter of fact, it
may be gold at both times, but then it
should be eaten on an empty stomach
ana not as dessert, when the appetite
is satisfied and digestion is already suf.
ticiently taxed. Fruit taken in the
morning before the fast of the night
has been broken is very refreshing and
it serves as stimulus to the digestive
organs. A ripe apple or an orange may
be taken at this time with good effect.
Instead of eating plate of ham or of
eggs and bacon for breakfast, more
people would do far better if they took
some grapes, pears or apples-fresh
fruit, as long as it is to be had, and
after that they can fall back on stewed
prunes, figs, etc. If only fruit of some
sort formed an important item in their
breakfasts, women would generally
feel brighter and stronger, and would
have far better compilations than is the
rule at present

THE COLOR OF LOBSTERS.

Some Are Red Before Being Boiled Blue
Specimens Not Uncommon.
I haveabefore me recent report Of
the United States fish commission on
the lobster fishery Of Maine. From it,
says q writer in the Industrial Rec
ord, it seems that not all Holsters are
black originally, or red only after
boiling. a female lobster caught off
Hurricane island was colored rich
indigo along the middle Of the upper
part Of the body, shading off into d
brighter and clearer tint on the sides
and extremities. The upper surface
Of the large claws was blue and pur-
pie, family notified with darker
shades, while underneath was a deli
cate cream tint. The under parts Of
the body also tended to melt into a
cream color, and this was also true Of
the spires and tubercles Of the shell
and appendages. a few years ago q
Peaks island fisherman caughtsa lob
ster about II inches in length whose
back was an indigo blue, and which
toward the extremities and under
parts was shaded off into pure white.
Lewis Med Donald, Of p rtland, has a
pure white lobster preserved il alco-
hol. twas caught in 1887.
Alobster about six inches inlength,
caught at Beal island, was almost Jet
black. "a few bright red Holsters,
looking as though they had been
boiled, have also been taken along the
Maine coast at different times. a
lobster was caught near Long island,
in Casco bay, Of which half the body
was light yellow up to the middle Of
the back, while the other half was red;
there were no spots on the shell. Il
Uses r. z. Carver, Of Vinal Haven,
had il his possession q female lobster
about ~ inches long Of q brrig red

Strike at Hallock.

Even Hallock has strikes. The
gang consisting Of fifteen or twenty
men employed in the construct ion OF
the city water works had strike
this week and as q result the work is
at a standstill until spring. The
men walked out on account of being
cut from $1.75 to $1.57 per day
owing to tile shorter hours. While
this might look reasonable, It was
hardly justice to men, because they
can get from $2.0Oto $3.50 per day
any time by going out threshing and
the work is much more agreeable
than digging in mud and water.

A. BRIGHT BIRD.
Story Of an English Startling Which Had

Story Of an English Startling Which Had
Been Taught to Talk.
8 He was an English startling and was
owned BY barber. "A startling can be

IN oe. ~ =. s4 s ..5#
Where are you from?"
from Pimlico = s.. a
Whosis your master? -
!Ehe barber
hat brought you here?"
Bad company. Z ...5..
One day, says the Baptist Union,
the startling escaped from his cage and:
flew away to enjoy his liberty. The
barber was in despair. Joe was the.
life Of the shop; many a customer
came attracted BY the fame Of: the
bird, and the barber saw his receipts
falling off. Then, too, he loved the
bird which had proved 50 apt a pupil.
But all efforts to find the stray bird
were in vain. 81
Meantime J oe had been joying life
on his own account. A few days passed
very pleasantly, and then, alas! he
fell into the snare Of the fowler, liter
ally.
A few miles from the BARRIERS home
lived man who made the sharing Of
birds his business. Some Of the birds
he stuffed and sold; others, again,
were sold to hotels nearby, to be
served up in delicate tidbits to fas-
tidious guests. Much to his surprise,
Joe found himself one day in the
fowlers net, in company with a large
concourse Of birds as frightened as
himself. The fowler began drawing
out the birds one after another, and
Wringing their necks Joe saw that
his time was coming, and something
must be done. It was clear that the
fowler would not ask questions, SO
Joe piped out: .EI'm joel" 4.
Hey! What's that?" cried the
fowler.
.<I'm joe repeated the bird, sol
emily.
Y on are?" said the astonished
fowler sSWhat brings you here?'
ssBad company" said Joe, prompt
".
It is hardly necessary to say that
Joe's neck was not wrung, and that
he was soon afterward restored to his
rejoicing master, the barber His mar
row escape cured him Of all desire to
rove, and never again could he be'in-
duced to leave his masters premises,
