FIRST FEARS ALLAYEp.

Suddenly a pale, agitated woman ap-
peared before the genial landlord.
Sir" she exclaimed, there are
strange noises in my room. am
afraid a burglar lies hidden in the
closet"
'Fie upon you, MADAME quoth the
landlord, merrily.
otis no burglar. IT'S merely the
spirit of a drummer who cut his throat
in your room thirty years age"
Whereupon the woman, abashed at
giving way to idle fears, thanked the
landlord, and returned calmly to her
bed.-IndiandbOHS Sun.

still fails to gather any transmissible
power even from the unreasonable
force of the tides.
Lately NJ. Gehre, a German engin-
eer. has invented a buoy whose merit
consists in that wave action lights it
electrically. The apparatus needs no
attention for months at a time. Even
the lightest waves generate the light
while the heaviest storms fail to put
it out. Furthermore, in this device,
wave action also operates a large bell,
three resounding strokes being given
before every flash Of the light. These
buoys are now being largely employed
in the shallow waters along the Ger
man coast

Linn Beans.

Limas are classed among the under
vegetables and there are few crops
that are more renumerative when sue
cessfully grown. The demand very
seldom is equaled by the supply and
prices are temptingly high. The great
trouble is that limas mature rather
late and are apt to be caught in an
early frost, which destroys the crop,
and is then followed by a long period
of warm, mild weather. At such a
time q loss is eXasperating, but may
be avoided without any very great ex
ertion in a manner which is success
fully practiced in our vicinity. When
frost is threatened, go through tha
patch and carefully lift the poles ou-
of the ground without breaking or up
roofing the vines. This can be done
very quickly and easily by lifting a
spadeful of soil from one side, lay the
poles on the ground, raising them a
few inches above it with brickbats,
stones or bits of wood to allow the al
to circulate under them. Throw lii
tie straw or leaves, or spread news
paper over each, taking off the cover
after the danger of frost is past. They
will continue to grow, and instead of
losing them you will be able to pick
them all in good condition.-Mrs. 4

no Make the oat orop Proftable.

To those who are trying to determine
whether to sell their oats or to feed
lem to the stock, the Farmer makes
the suggestion that the well-bred colt
be consulted Whether he will pay
better than the lamb, the calf or the
pig is a question, but if he is well-b1sd,
there should be no hesitancy in saying
that he win pay more for the portion
of the oats than he can consume to
advantage, not less than four quarts a
day, than the buyer on the local mar
ket
In his deal with you the colt has the
advantage. You can either sell a por-
tion Of your oats to him or do worse.
The colt needs a fesh-forming diet
and will never carry out the origin

breeding unless you give him material
to do it with. The best you have on

Anderson Coulter, son of Mr.. Geo. E..
Coulter, died here last night. For some

with consumption. A few years ago he
was injured in a foot ball game and the

the disease which caused his death.
Mr. Coulter was about twenty-o ne years
of age. At an early age, he united with
the Presbyterian church and was an up
right and faithful member, trusting fully
and entirely in his Saviour.
This morning, Mr. Lester w. Shuford,
another of the towns prominent young
men, passed from time into eternity, a
victim of the same disease. He also

years of age and was consistent mem

men been snatched from our midst in such
