The shirt waist in silk, flannel, or all other light weight wools is held es- sential to the winter wardrobe just as the one in washable material is to that of the summer. Illustrated is one of the newest of all models which is suit ed to all materials mentioned but which as shown is made of fancy taf- feta stitched with belding silk. The features of the design are to be found in the arrangement of the tucks and in the novel cuffs, which are singularly attractive.

Veteran Gave the Site and VIII
Protect Monument.

1t will be of interest, specially to
Confederate veterans, to know that q
Union soldier, Major George A Armes,
who married a Virginia lady, owns the
battlefield Of Appomattox, Va, and
that he decided to North Carolina, free
of charge, the land on which the North
Carolina monument was unveiled last
week; and in this connection the fol-
lowing Washington special to the Raj
eigh Post is of interest:
Major Armes, who donated to the
state the site on which the monument
at AppOmattoX was dedicated Monday,
is back in Washington and expresses
himself as highly pleased with the
North Carolinians he met. Il have
given directions to the manager of ~,

NOT CLOUD IN SIGHT
The Horizon of Prosperity is a Bright
as a New Coin.

The recent immense shipments Of
grain to Chicago from Missouri River
points, Il result of Il great reduction in
the carrying rates is held tt account
in large part for the congestion at our
terminals, but if this factor were elm
illated the present. freight business Of
the railroads centerlng lere would be
all, il not more, than they could Or
veniently handle.
Aside from an unusually heavy mer-
chandise traffic, which is % per cent.
greater titan it was at the same time
last year, the shipment Of building ina
terial in itself would constitute an nc
nense tonnage. Included i'll the latter
are heavy receipts and transfers of
lumber, cement, and brick.
1t is estimated hat the railroads of
the country could find use at present
for 5000 more cars han they have at
their disposal, and a very large pei
centage of this additional rolling stock
could find immediate employment on
Chicago lines.
If the business of the railroads may
be considered a fair index to trade in
general-and there is no reason why il
should be regarded otherwise--then
the nwe era which it was promised
would follow upon another vote OF
confidence in the national republican
party has already dawned.
Apparently, there is not a cloud i'll
the comemrcial sky. Soundness, secur.
ity, and stability are the characters
tics of all the markets. There is III
lack of confidence in the future, and
better still, there is yet no visible ten
dency toward dangerous speculation.
1t is too early to indulge in pro
phecies regarding the crop of 1905,
but the land has been blessed with tho
kind of winter that puts the soil in
good condition, and blessed again with
an early spring.
All we need to do as a people is to
do our whole duty, to go as slowly sas
our nature will permit us, to cling to
the traditions and principles and poll
cies that have been the mainstays OF
our commercial and financial prosper.

1t is astonishing how much the
farmers of the South miss by not max
ing their w breakfast bacon. 1t is
so easily prepared and cured, is so eX-
cellent and palatable as a food, .and is
relished for such a long time without
becoming deappetiZing, II is, Withal,
50 wholesome that the wonder is thai
every farmer does not make his ovn
breakfast bacon. There are numerous
receipts for doing this, and some
brands of bacon put up by Large
slaughter houses have attained an III
ternatiOnal reputation. The subjolntd
method is used by Il successful farmer
and may be tried without d~isappoint-
ment in the result:
As soon as the animal heat is cut OF
the meat select ~carcaSSeS of medium
weight and cut strips from each side
of the abdominal opening about seven
or eight inches wide and as long as the
middling. Be careful to select those
strips that show an alienation OF lean
n fat streakS. These are called
"belly-StripS' and are the same as the
thin edges of the middling. Make a
kettle of brine by boiling and have il
strong enough to float an egg. For
every 100 pounds of meat to be cured
add 10 pounds of brown sugar to tae
brine. Put the stripes of meat IN a
barrel and arrange them so that each
piece may stand separate, if possible.
Pour the brine in the barrel so as to
cover the meat thoroughly. Let it re-
main in the brine for three Or four
WEEKS then hang it in Il tight house
and smoke it with a wood fire for
three or four days. After this canvas
it. Breakfast bacon may be made in
the spring or fall, as we'll as in the
winter months, but it must be used
cuickly.-Southern Farm Magazine OF
