Early Scarlet Radish.

While there may not be a great deal
of money in growing radishes, the crop
is one that is easily and cheaply
grown, and for a time early in the sea-
son sells well. Naturally, the earliest
sorts are tho most profitable, al
though, if one is located near a live
town and will grow the radish crop
so that they are crisp and fresh at all
times, it is possible to extend the pro-
ftable season. The Earliest Scarlet
is n Of the best Of the early sorts,
and as it has not been grown for sew
eral season, it has proved its worth.
The skin is a rich scarlet color and
the flesh white and crisp. While it is
a favorite for growing under glass, it
is equally profitable grown in the open
ground, where it natures quickly and
thus retains its crispness. BY dropping
seeds in the ground whenever a pulling
is made, the radish season is consid-
erably prolonged and the soil made to
yield a larger percentage Of profit. The
variety is we'll worth planting every
where.

To Cnra NANCE.

Mango is not a disease in the COM
mon sense Of the term, but is caused
either by a vegetable parasite or by
an insect, which grows in the skin.
There are two kinds, but both are
treated alike. The skin is first washed
with warm water and carbolic soap
to soften it and open the pores, in
which the parasites are embedded; it
will help matters to rub the skin with
a corncob or something rough to
break up the vessels and emove the
crust. The parts are then dried and
rubbed thoroughly with an ointment
made of four parts of lard. one part
sulphur and one part kerosene, adding
about twenty drops of creosote to an
ounce of the mixture. Work this we'll
into the skin with a hard brush, re
peating daily for two weeks or more in
order to destroy any new growth from
eggs or spores.

The only colored resident of Shiloh.
Edward Smith, took a moonlight ride
to the county Jail at Bridgeton be-
cause he was breaking the peaceful
calm of the Seventh Day Baptist COM
munity by chopping at his wife with
an axe. Worshipers were just leaving
the church after Sabbath evening pray
er when they were startled by wild
scream of terror coming from Smiths
house. They ran to the scene of the
disturbance anu found Smith trying to
chop his wife into bits. When they
endeavored to stop the row the negro
turned upon them, threatening to cut
them into shreds, too. He was SUBJ
dued, however, and Constable Hill
yard took him off to Jail. Mrs. Smith
was found to be severely hurt.

Returns Valuable Rings

Through the honesty of Florence
Jackson, Mrs. John T. Hutchinson. of
Georgetown, has recovered $1,000 worth
of jewels, which she left at the Inter-
state Fair. Mrs. Hutchinson took
seven rings from her fingers and laid
them on the washstand in the club
house. She went away without them.
Miss Jackson entered the room ini-
mediately after the departure of Mrs.
Hutchinson. She recovered the jewels
and handed them to Secretary Mah.on
r. Margerum. When Mrs. Hutchinson
arrived home she telephoned to Mr..
Margerum and was informed that her
property was safe. The rings were
two single diamonds, one band of ru-
bies, one band of diamonds, one band
of sapphires and one turquoise and a
diamond and a gold band ring.

The effect of this certainty is in every
way most precious and helpful. Consider
for a moment what this gertrude means in
the presence of the awful calamity which
last summer sent a thrill of horror
around the globe. True, indeed, is the
Scripture declaration eff in this life only
we have hope in Christ we are Of all men
most miserable" If death were the end OF
all then we might well believe that cruelty
sat in the throne of the universe. But,
staggered as all are by the unutterable sor-
row, vet God rules and overrules, and
though we cannot see it now, yet In eter-
nifty we shall know that the earelessness-
or worse-of man has bee7 overruled to
eternal good. Because we know that God
is love, and because we know Jesus still
lives and is the same to-day as when He
shed tears at the grave of Lazarus, we dare
to 90 into bereaved homes and speak OF
the reunion at the right hard Of the throne
of God. | went over to the pier where lay
hundreds of the unclaimed bodies, and l
would not have dared to do it, but that L
might comfort some heartbroken one with
the assurance that God cared, God loved
and in eternity God would make this un-
speakable sadness a source Of perpetual
Joy. Can I explain it? Mol But l could
not preach. I could not hold up my head
as a Christian if I did not believe; yea, If L
did not know, that somehow, some time'
the curse shall be changed into a blessing.
This is the privilege of Christians to say
even now: owe know that all Things work
together for good to them that love God"
WHY is it that all do not know these
things? Partly because of their condition.
There are to-day those who "having eyes
see not, and having ears hear not" Tit
influence of training is not easily overcome.
Trained only to consider as real that which
can be a~nalyzed by scientific implements,
men refuse 10 admit the reality Of things
which they cannot weigh in their scales or
measure by their rules. They are honest.
So is the blind man honest who says color
does not exist. So is the deaf man
honest whose soul cannot be moved by the
concord Of sweet sounds. 1t Is not a ques-
ton of honesty, but of fact. God IS, even

Train Kills Aged Clergyman.

Rev. J. B. Porter, aged sixty years.
who recently accepted a call to the pas
torate of the Presbyterian Church at
Delaware, was run down and killed by
a train while walking on the Lacka-
wanna Railroad tracks near his home.
Mr.. Porter had been to the river and
was returning home when he stepped
in front of the train and was literally
ground to pieces. 1t is believed that he
must have become bewildered. The
engineer saw him step on the tracks,
but there was no time to stop the train
and prevent the accident.

Marketing Products.

Farmers often allow their stock to
go on the market in an unfit condition,
and in consequence, realize unsatisfac-
tory prices. Others market fruit, veg
etables, grains, ETC., without being
properly sorted and cleaned. The diff
ference between marketing products
in this condition possible is the diff
ference between marketing a finished
and unfinished product, and the prices
realized are generally in proportion.
