The prices of slaves varied very
greatly in different parts Of the south
in antebellum days. In states like
South Carolina or Louisiana, where
slaves were always in demand, much
more was paid for them than in the
border states like Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, where they could easily run
away. In New Orleans $1,000 to 81
500 was often paid for a good car
penter or blacksmith, who in Kentucky
or Missouri would not have brought
more than half as much. Many slave
traders made a regular business Of buy
ing in the border states and selling in
Mobile, New Orleans or Charleston,
and there was always a handsome
profit in the transaction. The most
risky part of the business was the
guarantee demanded that the slave
would not run away The time limit
was commonly thirty days, and the
matter was usually arranged with the
slave himself by taking his promise
and giving him So or $40 to stay until
the guarantee had eXpired.-Exchange.

Southern Fruit and
Ve9etabie Growing.

The fertile lands along the
Louisville & Nashville r. r. in
Alabama, West Florida and Missis-
s1ppi are veritable bonanzas for the
fruit grower and truck gardener.
One man sold from one single acre,
100 barrels of radishes for $4,000,
gross; another patch of 4 acres
radishes yielded 81, 463.00, net. In
the spring of 1902, another truck
gardener sold 800 barrels of
potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres
of ground for 81, 548, and after pay
ing all expenses, cleared $4,000,
or $297.22 per acre. Within two
weeks after selling his potatoes,
corn was up and watermelon vines
we're running on the same land.
He harvested his corn, sold his
melons, and afterwards cut two
crops of hay off of the same land,
and on January 20, 1903, was plant
ing it again in potatoes. Straw
berries yield from $4,000 to $4,000
per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts
of luscious berries have been grown
on single acre. Address G. A.

Beginning Too Soon.

Mrs. Potter Palmer is a friend of
Andrew Lang, the essayist and poet.
He is profoundly learned in the his
tory of Scotland, and there are num-
Der OF Scottish stories that he tells ex-
ceeolngly we'll. l remember an in
stance, somewhat exaggerated, that he
once gave me of the rigorous and as
cetlc life of the Scots of the past.
1T seems that a laird, in the year
1I6o, set out to join the pretender,
taking with him his son, a youth of 16
or SO. One night this laird and little
troop were compelled to sleep in the
open, though it was showing, and snow
lay deep upon the ground. Father and
son kept together, and together they
prepared to turn in for the night. The
son, having wrapped his plaid about
him, made himself a pillow of snow,
and was about to lay his head Oh it
when his father kicked the little cold
white mound away.
This is too soon, truly he growled,
for you to indulge in luxuries.' =

A buyer for one of the largest liquor
houses in Philadelphia who is COM
PEELED to sample enough wine and spir-
its every day to put an ordinary man
out of business says that buttermilk
is his salvation. Il not only buy five
or six glasses day at the dairy res
taurants or street stands" he says,
"but / drink it all the time at home
instead of tea or coffee. never touch
beer or anything like that l keep a
stone crock of buttermilk in the cellar
and let it get just little stale. 1t is
better then than if taken fresh. A
man who insists on drinking liquor will
find very little trouble if he takes
plenty Of buttermilk. If he wants to
swear off, buttermilk will help him. 1t
is a splendid stomachic. Two quarts
of good buttermilk day will cure any
case of nervous indigestion. "-Philadel-

The Ass and the Ladder.

'I came into possession of a Hebrew
library the other day." said a student,
"and in several of my new books is
the sentence, May this volume not be
damaged, neither this day nor for
ever, until the ass ascends the ladder
What does that mean-'till the ass
ascends the ladderY Do you known
Eyes, I know" answered the stu
dents preceptor. 1.-THE phrase is like
that of Petronius, 'asinus in tegulis'
ian ass on the house top. 1t signifies
impossibility, a thing that will never
take place. Books preserved, there
fore, until the ass ascends the ladder
are books forever preserved" -Phila-

GOING IN TO DINNER.
How the Methods Differ France.
England and America.


In France they walk into the dinin e
room abreast, the lady and her lori,
like two chums, equal one to the other.
In England John Bull goes first. she
following meek and demure. In Ameri-
ca Mrs. Jonathan enters triumphantly,
leading the way while her dear Old
spouse follows.
In France men ana women walk with
equal assurance. When they meet on
the street the men pay their respect to
the women and the latter show their
Difference to the men by the way in
which they salute one another Your
natural conclusion is that such men
and women go through life on the same
equal footing.
On the contrary, John Bull has the
air Of a lord of creation. He leads the
way q little baughtily perhaps and not
overpleasant looking. He is duly SEN
sible of the fact that he is a master
the master. He is of course polite and
deferential to women, but it is with a
slightly patronizing air, a condescen-
sion of his lofty lordship. He feels his
supposed superiority, and he cannot
help showing it. Among the middle and
lower class people the man is master
and enters his house before his wife,
mother or daughter.
In the United States the woman
walks like a duchess. She is mistress
of all she surveys. She stands erect and
queenly, and her eyes are frank. For
her, man exists. He pays her court.
She is indeed a queen. - American
Queen.

The House spider.

While the common house spider is
harmless and renders a positive serv-
ice to mankind by killing flies and
other insects, it is generally regarded
with aversion if not with fright. The
ordinary spider does not deserve its
bad reputation. From time immemo-
rial it has been called crafty and MUIR
derous, Turing the poor fly to its death
and then greedily devouring it, but
really it only Furnishes trespassers.

THE THOMAS CAT.

We love to hear the tom-cat growl,
On the alley fence at night;
He puts his soul in his fervent yowl
And let's 'er rip with might!
"Yeow! Yeow!! Meyow!!"
We joy to list that Thomas-cat
AS he strikes crescendoes high;
His soul is wrapt in the biz he's at
Tho bootjacks hurtle by!
"Pfist! Pfst!! Me-pfst!!!'
We prize the cat for his honest work,
On the rakish woodshed top;
Nor e'er note does the tom-cat shirk
While divers weapons drop!
'Yeow! Pfst!! M-e-y-o-w!!!
We laud the cat the Thomas-cat,
In the tangled garden patch;
He yOWls with ZeSt and he standeth pat
To back his yowl with scratch

tack the vital organs, causing Catarrh or
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghanton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle.
