BLUSHlRG.
% % caussd By Nerve Action on the
Bleed Circulation.

Elc00 Ctrculatlons
Not every one would consider that
10 bIrsh indicates special intelli-
gence, Jet blushing is an eminently
human attribute, and Darwin says
that Il. would require an over
whelming amount of evidence to
make us believe that any animal
could blush. Idiots, too, rarely
blush.S
IL Is q fact that the nerves have
an effect even on the circulation Of
the blood, and the very pulse at our
wrist is not due only to the heart
throbs, but to an organism called
the vase motor system-threadlike
nerves distributed to the walls of
the blood vessels and making reg
ular pulsing motion as they force
the blood along.
These blood vessels are related
closely both to the cerebro spinal
and the sympathetic systems; hence
the reason for the effect of sudden
shock, Of the pallor produced by
fear, the crimson blush of shame
and the flush Of rage. These are
really psyche phenomena and indi-
cate the remarkable vascular changes
caused by feelings of the mind.
Blushing really is sort of mo-
mentary paralysis or suspension OF
the vase motor nerve influence, and
the opposite emotion of fear either
stimulates the contractors of the
tiny capillary vessels or sometimes
permits the action by suspending
the cerebral influence. - Philadel.

Charles Wyndham made his first
appearance on any stage as an actor
at Mrs, John Woods Olympic thea
ter in New York. A story has been
preserved showing that stage fright
and inexperience combined to make
his premiere most discouraging oc-
casion. In a certain love scene he
was expected to say, Dearest, / am
drunk with that enthusiasm of love
which but once in a lifetime fills the
soul of man." but the young man,
overwhelmed with nervousness,
could only exclaim, Dearest, / am
drunk" and there stuck fast, to the
great amusement of the audience.

When Fashlon Cost NOSE.

In the reign of Henry VII. we are
told by Lord Oxford that the young
Nicholas, lord of Vaux, st the mar
riage of Prince Arthur appeared in
q gown of purple velvet, adorned
with pieces of gold so thick and
massive that, exclusive of the silk
and furs, it was valued at $1,000.
Fashion was carried to its greatest
excess, however, in the next reign,
when the mobiles wore gloves lined
with white velvet and splendidly
worked with embroidery and gold
buttons, scented. To such an extent
was this expenditure carried that at
the Field of the Cloth of Gold, at
the meeting between the kings of
England and France, many of the
mobiles present in their extravagant
attempts to outvie one another car
ried the whole value of their estates
on their backs. The only result of
this meeting, indeed, was the pov-
erty brought about on both sides
among the lesser mobiles.

ievees along the banks Of the serpen-
tine Wateree; also numerous check
dams, dikes and disohes requisite to
prevent the overflow from freshets;
but it has been long asserted as fact
that il the river corn planter can har-
vest one good crop every three years
he is independent Of crop disaster dur
Ing che othe. t"e seasons. From the
prospects now in evidence on the
State farms bottoms one would readily
believe the statement true and the ac-
complishment practicable. Proof Of
this also exists in the fact that the
ante-bellum river planters were the
wes!shieSt class Of the whole COM
munity; veritsble nabobs; indeed Sub
ahdars in the plentitude Of wealth aud
power, and some Of their descendants
are still successful. and prosperous.
The States uplands border upon
the river swamp and lies between the
red lands of the high hills of Sumter
and the sand hills Of Kershaw, and
also between Hagood and Boykin sta
tions, on the Camden branch of the
Southern Railroad, which runs through
the lands, with siding and depot on
tho farm.
The equipments Of the two farms
are nearly Identical. There are both
steam and wind power and much time
and labor are thereby economical. A
saw mill, planer, ginnery, cane mill,
pea huller, etc., are driven by steam
power on both farms. There are also
tools and wood shops for needed re-
pairs and building. The corn shred
der furnishes an additional and value
BILE lesson in farm economies. This
innovation, in the matter Of forage,
has been somewhat ignored and even
contemned, and is still considered by
some as mere fad, but this writer
needs no further proof than the fact
that stock consume it with readi-
ness and relish that dispels all doubt
as to its value as forage. The secret
Of success lays in cutting the corn and
curing it at the right stage. Large
quantities Of this provender are fed
on these farms and the stock all in
first-olass condition. Some thirty odd
mules are assigned to each farm; also
half dozen or more brood mares,
with as many mule colts.
The largest and finest Jack proba-
bly, in the country is kept on the Reed
farm; herds of cattle, droves Of hogs,
focks Of sheep and goats and even
darkening flights Of pigeons are there.
The State farms are neither hobbies,
nor run as fancy shows. They are
worked for profit and are successful.
The DeSaussure farm was first pur-
chased by the State, some dozen years
since, largely through the suggestion
and instrumentality Of the Thane Of
Hagood, the venerable Thomas o.
