in that case it descends to

A will, written or noncupative, is
valid if attested by two witnesses, but
if there is no will, the property of the
intestate descends to the heirs equally.
For all purposes, citizenship accrues
to the white man who marries ma
tive, but he cannot be elected presi-
dent Of the nation. All male citizens
over sisteen years of age. are vested
with the franchise, and selling or pur-
chasing of votes is made a misde-
meanor.
Previous to the first republic trial
by jury was held to be sacred, and
their first constitution provided that
it should never be denied. In addi-
tion to all these, there are other laws
prescribing statute of limitations,
fixing punishments for embezzlement,
and perjury, and, in fact, making all
other regulations for an equitable and
ordinary administration of justice,
which is executed through regular
courts, presided over by native judges.
They were never polygamous peo-
pie, and some of their most stringent
laws were directed against that and
the violatian of the Sabbath. They
are, perhaps, the only people who are
citizens of two distinct and separate
republics. Under the treaty Of 1911
they were made citizens of the United
States for the purpose of voting for
federal officers, and this privilege was
confirmed and provisions made for
counting their vote as part of North
Carolina.

DOGS.

There are nearly 200 distint varie-
ties Of dogs.
Foxhounds give cry, but dcerhounds
hunt in silence.
The greyhound is the only dog
which hunts by sight.
A pure bred staghound never at
tacks the head Of his quarry.
Only in the temperate zone is the
dog found perfect in courage and
speed.
The Italian greyhound is reputed to
be the most symmetrical OF all ami
mails.
Skye terriers have been known to
jump into the river and land hooked
fish, which they take carefully by the
back.
Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing
a well laden sledge 60 miles day.

single trace and no reins,

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger
than they were. The tan on their
faces is darker and makes them look
healthier. but this is only mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
trihes, and they do not eat nor sleep
we'll. What they need is what tones
the nerves, perfects digestion, creates
appetite: and makes sleep refreshing,
and that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pu-
pills and teachers generally will find
the chief purpose Of the vacation best
subserved by this great medicine
which, as We know, "builds up the
whole system"

USEFUL TO KNOW.

A piece of butter dropped into the
dish in which milk is to be scalded will
prevent the milk from sticking to the
dish.
Fill all the cooking dishes with cold
water as soon as set aside. The labor
of washing will be much less.
Painted walls of kitchens can be
much more easily washed by adding
two table.spoonfuls of kerosene to
pail Of soapy water.
Oilcloth should never be scrubbed
with a brush, but after being first
swept, it should be cleaned by wash
ing with large soft cloth and luke
warm or cold water. Soap or hot
water will bring of the paint.
Mating may be cleaned with
coarse cloth dipped in salt water and
then wiped dry. Salt prevents the
mating from turning yellow.

HINTS ON CANNING.

The process of canning different
fruits varies but little.
Select perfectly sound and fresh
fruits, and they may be canned with
or without sugar. Sugar takes no
part whatever in their preservation,
and frequently causes fermentation.
All fruits should be lightly cooked,
that they may retain their natural
flavor. 1t is wise to fill the jars to
overhowing. As the liquid cools it
will condense, leaving space at the
top of the jar.
Wash the jars, rubbers and tops;
adjust the rubbers on the jars. Throw
the tops into cold water, and bring
slowly to boiling point, and allow
them to stand in this boiling water
until you are ready to use them. They
must be thoroughly covered with
water. Twirl the jars also in boiling
water. Be sure that you plunge the
whole jar down, filling it entirely, or
it will crack. Look over the fruit
very carefully; wash, put it into the
jars; adjust the rubbers, stand the
jars in a wash boiler, bottom of which
has been protected with a rack or
strips of wood. Surround the jars
partially with cold water, put on the
lids loosely; do not fasten them down.
Cover the boiler, and bring to boiling
point. Boil the small fruits ten min
utes after they begin to boil. You
may now fill two jars from third to
allow for the condensation.
Lift the jars one at time, and fas-
ten the tops. Wipe each jar of
immediately and stand it in a cool
place over night. Next morning, if
you have screw tops, give them an
extra turn ; if not, they will be suffi-
GENTLY fastened. Wipe them off, and
put them in a cool, dark closet for
keeping. 1t is question whether or
not light affects fruits. Personal ex-
perience has proven to me that it does
not make much difference whether
fruit is kept in the light or the dark
l have kept quantities Of fruit in the
sunlight all summer, and have had
them in perfect condition next year
have, however, noticed that the
flavor is not so true after they have
been standing in the sun. For this
reason l recommend the dark.
Large fruits, such as peaches and
pears, should be packed in the jars,
the jars filled with cold water, the
rubbers adjusted the jar placed in the
boiler with the same amount of water
as before, and the lids placed loosely
on top; the boiler covered, and the
cooking continued for fifteen minutes
after the water has reached boiling
point.-Mrs. S. 7. Rorer, in Ladies
Home Journal.

Beyond the neglected shrubbery, the
blackened timbers and the crumbling
heap of bricks that marked the place
where the big house Of the plantation
had stood before the war was a small
inclosure surrounded by rail fence.
In the plat were two graves-those
of grown person and little child.
Without the rail fence nature had
done her best, hiding the scars of war
under a tangle of wild honeysuckle
that wrapped the vines OF the old man.

But within the inclosure there was
evidence that nature had helper in
her ministry.
The plantation kitchen was a brick
building that stood just back of the
ruins Of the house. From the door the
frequent passage of feet had worn a
path through The buffalo grass to the
rail fence and the top rail of the panel
of fence to which the path led was
smooth and sagging where an old
negress had climbed over it every day
for many years.
She stood this morning in the little
burying ground. She had been clip

graves were covered with roses-white
roses of the old fashioned Thousand
leaved" variety that grow in old gar
dens. The old woman had brought
them from the garden at Captain Ter
rill's, where Captain Terrill's wife, the
new mistress of the plantation, gave
her flowers for the graves and provis-
ions for her lartler with beautiful i'm
partiality.
Captain Terrill, riding down the
levee road to the field. saw the pathetic
figure 10y the graves and drew rein at
the fence.
"Howdy, Aunt Charlotte?" he called.
"Your graves look mighty nice this
morning.
The old woman Strengthened her

The young owner of the plantation
smiled and nodded as he touched Bay

"That's all right, Aunt Charlotte"
he called over his shoulder "You go

Aunt Charlotte watched him out of

to the graves.
