KEEPING TIE HOUSE COOL.

doors on the east and south sides OF
the house, where the sun shines. If
the Rouse has outside shutters these
should be closed, the inside blinds
drawn, and if there are awnings they
should be lowered. This will keep out
great deal of heat.
In the forenoon while the east and
south windows are closed the north
and west doors and windows should be
left open. This will furnish cireula-
ton of air through the house, and
Keep the atmosphere of the rooms
from becoming dead and heavy, as it
does when all the windows and doors
are closed.
In the afternoon, when the sun ap-
proaehes the west side of the house,
then the windows and doors on that
side should be closed the same as
the east and south windows in the
forenoon. By this time the sun has
left the east and south windows and
they can be opened while the west
side OF the house is closed. The north
windows and doors can be left open
all day, as the sun will shine in from
that side but very little

ant feeling that it has when all the
windows and doors are kept closed.
As rule, tbs housewife closes all
the windows and doors early in the
morning, keeping the house darkaned
all day long. 1t is true this will keep
the rooms cool, but there is an IN

as soon as they came into the house.

Doetorina in Ireland.

| A physician in the out of-the-Way
corners of Ireland has many oppoT-
tunities to laugh, though his amuse-
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith IN the
doctor, a superstitious faith in his
drugs and appliances, but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr..
Michael MaeDonagh, in his Irish Lifs
and Character, gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for a sick 1aborer, which he
sent by the mans wife in a small
box, bearing the direction: The
whole to be taken Immediately
On visiting the patient a little later.
the doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had not helped him. He
asked the mans wife if she had given
him the medicine.

There has been a great deal in the

Not Worth Noticing.

The trial term of the Supreme court
was being held in the county town,
and the court room in the county court
house was crowded.
The most eminent lawyers of the
state were present. for the presiding
judge was an e.:ldia man of many
years practice. Gray haired LAWYERS
valued highly every word of wisdom
that fell from his lips.
a newly fedged lawyer was defend
ing a case, inc during the progress of
the trial, merely to impress his impor-
lance first upon the audience and Sec
ondIy upon his client, was frequently
impertinent to h justice.
The court never turned a hair at the
impudent remarks of the young man,
very much to the surprise of the older
lawyers.
The jury having brought in a verdict
against the client of the fiedgling, the
court adjourned for dinner. Several
of the. best known lawyers dined at the
judges table at the hotel, and all were
eager to hear from him why he did not
commit the young man for contempt
but for some tie silence reigned.
One lawyer. an old friend of the
judge, finally put the question, severe
ly commenting upon the. words of the
boy.
1T reminds me-" said his honor, "oi
a measly little yellow dog'my father
one had that used to go out and bark

The judge paused and went on with
his dinner, while there was a trying
silence for a few minutes. AS he made
no effort to resume his story, the law

went out and parked at the MOON"

THE PRIMARY SYSTEM.

Whether or rot the primary or the
convention has more possibilities IS q
question. We imagine that the Wire
pullers in any county, should they be
canvassed. would be found favorlng the
convention in preference to the pri-
mary.-GreensborO Telegram.
OF course The wire-pullers and the
convention manipuiators are the very
ones who oppose the legalized primary
system. They know that wnen the
democratic party adopts that mode OF
choosing candidates the occupation Of
the party heller and general roundup
will be gone. There can o. no doubt
that the best interests of the demo-
cratic party demand that we should
adopt III legal primary system for the
selection Of candidates. That is the
best and fairest way for making the
party choice. Tha~e is no other means
which will give such satisfaction. Tire
of late on this subject ana we suppose
our readers are getting somewhat tired
of the legalized primary question, but
we hope they will C us for again
referring to ii, for we consider t of
great Importance to the democratic par
ty In fact, in our estimation it is the
salvation of the party. If The leaders
do not establish some such plan for
giving the people satisfaction in the
nomination of their candidates the state
of North Carolina will soon be placed in
the column of doubtful states. We

The idea of North Carolina VITA its
sixty thousand democratic majority be-
coming a doubtful state, they say.
Well wait and see. AS sure as fate,
this state is in danger of passing into
the republican column and if it does
no one but the democratic bosses will
be to blame for the change The Mes
senger has time and again urged a
change of management by the party
leaders-has advocated a more liberia
treatment of the independent element
in the party, but we have had no Sec
ending of our position. Those whose
h~ide-bOund, close-democracy we have
opposed and opposed for the good of the
party have tried TO read us out of the
party because we would not subscribe
to the proposition that no matter what
the seIf-constituted leaders of the party
declared to be the party measures the
balance of the party following should
subscribe to it and swallow it as demo
cratic doctrine.
We must confess that we are moi
that kind of a democrat. We do moi
yield to any one precedence in fealty
to party. but at the same time we claim
the right, as a good sound democrat, tt
criticise and call attention to any
short cOmings of the party leaders
We feel sure that those men who are
at the head of the party and who have
the interest of the people at heart dc
not object TO legitimate criticism o.
their conduct-such as The Messenger

party leaders or office holders object
to such fair criticism are not true dem
