INTER- COMMUNITY TRADING.
The Prime Factor of Local Commercial
Strength and Development.

New Berne journal.
1t is old advice, and oft repeated
namely, to buy at home and give
your local merchants the benefit OF
! your trade.
And when this local buying is not
done, the neglect is certain to be Wis
IDLE in tho stores Of the town, in the
way OF small stocks and no great
variety of goods.
A merchant will learn to do bust
ness and buy his supply of goods
according to the demand which exists
for them.
Let any local merchant learn
through experience that there will be
calls for variety of the goods in his
line, and he will keep these goods on
hand.
But, on the other hand, If he finds
the people of the town sending away
for their goods, he is going to keep
on hand the fewest possible lines, and
only OF staple goods, instead of taking
the risk OF buying and holding in
degnitely in stock, expensive goods.
And thus it is in every kind Of local
business, there must be an inter-
community trading for local pros
perity.
The retailer must buy from his
wholesale neighbour and the citizen
must buy from the retailer, and every
one should be a buying patron of
everything that is sold locally, to the
fullest extent, refusing to buy outside
except it be through necessity.
This inter community trading is
the prime factor of local commercial
strength and development, for the
mere act of giving all of your bust
ness to your local merchant indi-
Gates confidence, and community
III which the banker, the wholesale
merchant. the retail merchant and
the citizen, all are bound by mutual
business relations of friendship and
personal confidence, will be found a
community that is certain to 90
ahead.
There is no pulling back in such a
place. The banker stands to assist
the merchant to carry III his business
when necessary, and the merchant
feels no alarm in having large stocks
Of goods, for he knows that his local
trade will buy Of him, in preference
to going away from home for their
goods.
1t is the old application of '.in
union there is strength" this inter-
community trading, and the COM
munity in which it is well practiced
shows the benefits arising from it, by
its life and progressiveness, in every
month in the year.
If the action Of your bowels is not easy
and regular, serious complications must be
the result. Dewitt Little Eally Risers
will remove this danger. Safe, pleasant,
and effective. W W Parker

Underground Labor in England.

The last half of the 18th century
should form red-letter period in the
memory of the British coal miner Not
only has it brought him to such finan.
cial prosperity that he can afford to
take holiday" for nearly half his
working time. but the improvements
effected below ground have greatly
diminished the former risk to health
and life. At meeting of the Midland
Institute of the Mining Engineers, the
president showed from trustworthy
statistics that the number OF fatali-
les consequent on colliery explosions
amounts to only percent of the
average between 1851 and 1855. There
is consequently saving of 81 percent
in human life through the lessened
frequency of explosions. 1t is much
the same with all other underground
accidents; in every instance, they are
far fewer and less destructive than
they formerly were. Such as do occur,
too, are largely the result of the
mems own recklessness; they perss-
tently break rules expressly intended
to save them from harm. The chief
cause of accidents at present is the
falling of roofs and sides, entirely ow.
ing to their not being properly tim.
bered But no amount of reasoning
will convince the average pitman that
he owes it to himself and his family
to see that the requisite support is af-
forded. Pit-owners are always most
are rarely brought to their knowledge
until too late for remedy. In the mat.
ter of ventilation. so great is the i'm
provement that. apart from accidents,
underground labor has become as
healthy as erground.-London

poer, Prospect of Freedom.

Howard Gregg, Of San Francisco,
who spent several years in Johannes
burg, says that the Boer is not fight
ing for a hopelessly lost cause. By
that, he continued, I do not mean that
he will again occupy the position he
did prior to the commencement of hos
tilities, but I am inclined to the opin-
ion that sooner or later peace will
be declared, in which greater or less
freedom and independence to the Beers
as nation will be guaranteed. Ger
tainly Edward Wis proclamation
naming Milner as paramount lord of
TIE Transvaal would seem to point in
this direction. If England doesn't
compromise with the Beers they will
make her tenure of the country a dis
agreeable and expensive thing. l be-
lieYe they can keep up the guerilla sys-
TEN of warfare they have embarked
on for years, and SO long as any of
them are left in the field bearing arms
England will be forced to maintain a
heavy military establishment in South
Africa, SO heavy indeed, that it will
soon prove a heart breaking strain to
the taxpayers.

BEST WAY TO FIND A MAN.
Usually a Letter-carrier Can Trace Him.,
If Any One Can.

Usually Letter-carrier Can Trace Him,
If Any One Can.
81 used to think that the letter car
rier was one public official who had
no perquisites attached to his job"
said a New Orleans lawyer, "and l
sympathiZed with him accordingly.
But recently" he continued, Il dis
covered that | was in error One day,
few weeks ago the carrier dropped
in at nay Office with the usual batch of
mail, and, as he was going out, asked
whether | knew any such a man as
John Soandso-I'ye forgotten the
name he mentioned-living on the
block. I don't recall such person.
l replied; have you a letter for him?'
No, SIR said the carrier, I was just
trying TO locate him for a real estate
agent up town. If l find the right adj
dress l get $40 dollar bill That ex-
cited my curiosity, and in response TO
my questions the carrier made the
matter plain.
Its like this he said. The real
estate agent is settling up some estate
and has lost track of one of the heirs.
He thinks he's in town, but he doesn't
know where to look for him. so he
came to the delivery department of the
postof1ice as the best place to get a tip.
1t turned out that none of the boys
had such a man on their routes, and
he then asked us to make inquiries and
hung up this $40 reward for the first
information. 1t is perfectly legitimate,
and there's nothing about it that inter.
feres with our work, so everybody's
trying to nail the twenty for pres
ent
"The story interested me. and
asked him whether they were called on
often for data of that character Why
yes he replied, pretty frequently. AS
ia ras addresses ar concerned, the
carrier department is far and away the
best information bureau in town. You
see, we not only keep track of the res
idents, but we are pretty well posted
as to the transients, also. Anybody
who remains here for week or longer
is tolerably certain to receive mail of
some kind, and the majority of it goes
to particular street and number in
stead of the general delivery. That
gives us a line on them which couldn't
be obtained through any other chan
mel. Then, again, the people who live
here are continually moving and may
have changed their address two or
three times since the last. issue of the
directory. We keep track of all that,
and even when they go out of town
temporarily we are likely to know
where they are, in order to forward
stray mail.
Taken altogether, we are quite apt
to locate anybody desired, and when
we make special inquiries, as l am do
ing in this case, it is next door to
sure thing l asked him what class of
people applied to the carriers as a rule.
Lawyers principally he said. who
are working up evidence in different
cases and want to find witnesses. -

A Remarkable Sight.

One of the most remarkable sights
ever witnessed by man was that de-
scribed by Captain Pendleton, a Brit
ish whaler. He was following his
profession around Deception Island in
the Antartic waters when he sighted
an iceberg that had just fallen from
an ice cliff 500 feet high. The berg
appeared to be about 100 feet
deep and two-thirds of a mile in
length. The captain, wishing to OBJ
serve the cliff or face of the ice from
which this berg had dropped, sailed
near it and saw high above the top
masts, at least $50 feet above the
level of the sea, the body of large
whale perfect, save for the head
which had broken off and gone with
the berg. A portion of this whale was
secured by the whaler, who took eight
or 10 barrels of Gil from it, while the
rest afforded foa1 for the sea birds.
This whale was embedded nearly in
the centre of the cliff. 500 fest from
the top, and the question is how did
the whale get there and how long had
1t been there? 1t was a sulphur bot
tom and was between GO and 70 feet in
length

SINCE and draw a small, tender
chicken of about two pounds; wipe it,
inside and out, with a wet towel; cut
the neck close to the breast, leave the
skin over the breast long to enveiop
the breast; cut the legs close to the
body, and cut them in two; cut the
body in six pieces. Leave the breast
and wings in one piece. Put one and
half tablespoons of butter in an earth
IN cocotte, put it on the chaflng dish;
stand directly over the flame. When
the butter has melted put in first all
the dark meat and the carcass; six
minutes after put in the breast. Sea-
son with one. level teaspoon of salt, one
level saltspoon of pepper; cook 20 min
utes uncovered, not too fast, and tax
ing care to turn and baste each piece,
so that every one shall become of
golden brown. Meanwhile prepare one
quart of oysters drain off the liquor,
put them in boiling water one minute;
dry them we'll with a towel. remove
the tendons, trim, and after the chick
en- has cooked 90 minutes add them to
it. Make room in the cocotte, so that
the oysters will go to the bottom; cook
three minutes after putting in the oys-
ters. With the fork arrange nicely all
the pieces, putting the breast on the
top with some of the incest oysters
over it. Serve from the cocotte. If
not at hand, the chatting ash could be
used instead allowing four minutes
less for the cooking.-Harpers Bazaar.

Tomato soup is improved by few

A thick felt under the table cloth

cloth.
Onions are particularly healthful,
and should be indulged in more fire.
quently than they are.
To make tough meats tender put
spoonful of vinegar into the water in
which they are boiling.
To remove grease spots from silk
moisten the spots with chloroform and
rub with cloth till dry.
Excellent dishcloths may be made
from old white Holland curtains after
the stiffening has been boiled out.
Newspapers moistened and torn into
bits and strewn over a mating COW
cred floor will aid greatly in the sweep
ing.
Soiled white fur can be cleaned by
rubbing it in successive changes of
flour and then hanging it for a time in
the open air.
Black silk and black satin are great
ly improved by wiping them with spir-
its of wine diluted with a little water,
and wipe it on the right side.
In a room flooded with sunshine it
is wisest to use wall paper in which
green predominates. With SO much
light repose and toning are needed.
A small novelty in table furnishing
is the cold meat platter, which is per-
fectly fiat like bureau tray, but with
q similar but slighter upright rim.
Currant jelly and turnips are the
natural Accomplishments of mutton. A
pretty way to serve the turnips is to
cut them in two after they are cooked,
scoop them into cup shapes and fill
with green peas.
If the point or end of the breast bone
next the vent of any fowl, game bird,
etc, bends easily to pressure you can
safely say the bird is young. If the
bird be broken or doctored then nip
the flesh across butt of wings or neck,
between finger and 'humb, when the
fingers will sink into the flesh OF the
bird if it is young.

Species OF liind Crca, ures.

Naturalists declare that there are 172
species OF blind creatures known to
science, but many hundreds OF species
of blind cave insects have been dis
covered in recent years. They are
mostly white, either from lack of the
stimulus of light or from bleaching OF
the skin. Some species have small
eyes, and some have none. There are,
no doubt, many more species still to
be discovered, as nearly every desorip-
tion Of fish found in the sea at great
depths, where the light cannot pene-
trate, is quite blind. To make up for
the lack of sight they are provided
with feelers most delicately construct
ed. Blind Insects, as well as fish are
found in the Mammoth Cave OF Ken
lucky, and in fact, blind creatures are
common in all situations not otherwise
hostile to the existence of animal life
where light is absent. The want OF
sight in these creatures is believed to
be the direct effect of the absence of
the stimulus of light, for in most cases
rudimentary eyes are found, proving
the fact of degeneration.-New York

A delicious fricassee of lamb may he
made by cutting the neck and shoul-
der into small pieces. dredging it with
flour which has been seasoned with
salt and pepper, and sauteng it in but
ter until it is brown. The next step is
to add to it hot water to more than
cover it, and cook slowly until the
meat falls from the bones. Remove
the bones, return the meat to the stew
pan, add slice of onion. a small to-
mato and cook for half an hour. Re
move the onion, put the meat in the
centre of the platter and arrange
dumplings around it. Serve the sauce,
of which there should be plenty, in a
gravy boat, separately.
