Auntie's Memory.


An old colored woman down in Ala

and was extremely proud of the dis
tinction, says the Boston Herald. The
proprietor of museum, on hearing
of her, sent one Of his agents to make
an investigation, as she would be a
valuable acquisition to his museum.
The agent piled her with questions
regarding her age. He asked her:

Well, Bro. Stribling, for fear you
may think Five Forks boys have quit
and gone fishing, perhaps T had bet
ter say something. Nothing Of i'm
portancc this timc-yes, by-the-way,
want to tell You that Mr.. 0. w.
Casey, a member Of our union, made
enough wheat this time to do him till
another crop is made, and he didn't
have grain saved himself. How did
he do it? That was easy. Last fall
he let his renters SOW all they wanted
to and he didn't make them take some
old red hill side, and then with a lit
tie short half-shovel scratch in the
seed without manuring. No, he al
lowed them to SOW the best land .h9
had, and then to turn it good and deep
with good amount of cotton seed
and acid to the acre, and then in the
spring he encouraged them in getting
nitrate Of soda for that grain.
Now, Bro. Stribling, as an excuse
for not sowing wheat last fall, just
listen at that old cotton farmer come
at us with that old "gag" that he
can buy his -four cheaper than he can
raise it. Now wouldn't that give the
man that wants to live at home the
"iim ioms?" Now, here is where

This matter. IF from some unknown

man, for he has his already at home.

whether Casey's flour is pure or not.

about my own and all my neighbors
affairs of trade, wonder if these pro-

use this advantage given him by our
own people to rob the whole interest

interest ? Oh, YOU cheap fools, You

Watching to See Which Way the Cat
Will Jump.

There are good many farmers
staying on the outside of the farmers
movement Watching and waiting to
see which way the eat will jump be-
fore they will make a move. These
men have been listening and watching
every movement Of the farmers organ
ization to see where their leaders are
going TO land into some fat position
and all that sort of thing, never once
thinking that if some fortunate far
mer should land into some good po-
sition that the farmer had just as
well have these fat places as for all
OF them to 60 to others. Better come
into the movement instead of stand
ing out there watching, or some devil
ish cotton bear or some other sneak
might slip up behind and get you in

Butter While You Wait,

From the New York Post.
 Londoners recently had an opportunity at their dairy show to see a novelty in machines which may modify our break lasts considerably. and usually much to their antage Epicures long ago found out that the only way to have satisfactory tea or coffee is to make 1t yourself on the table. With butter such a proceeding has been out of the question, and we have long been dependent upon the dairyman and the grocer who. alas. too often in- fiict on their customers a rancid, boraxed substance better suited for axles than for stomachs. In French and German markets il Is easy to get sweet butter every morning fresh from the country. Tn England and American cities it is seldom possible to do this wherefor we ought to bless the inventor of the new machine referred to-a chrrn- which makes butter in sixty seconds. Tt is so handy,
 we are told. that II might very well be placed on the tea table as an accessory to the cups and teapot, and yet not look out of place Given the requisite amount of cream. with temperature of sixty de- grees, butter can be made at any time when desired" Such an invention is real ly of greater importance than It may sp- pear at first sight.

FAMOUS WOMAN RUNNER"
Once Concealed a Fortune Which Fed
 eraI Soldiers Could Not Find.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
 Down at Port Tobacco, southern Mary land, where colonial customs still pre- vail and the telephone and the tels- graph are still almost unknown, there was buried last week Miss Olivia Floyd, famous throughout the south as one of the runners" of the underground railroad.'
 She became one of the runners in the underground railroad between Washington and Richmond, and, al though her place was surrounded and searched several times, so sharp was her lookout and so careful her conduct and so many her resources that the federal troops were never able to catch either her dispatches or conveys of merchandise. She conveyed .clothes, money and letters throughout the lines from prisoners.
 One fugitive entrusted S80,000 in bank notes to Miss Floyd She hid the money in the stuffing of hassock. Fed eral, soldiers even sat upon the has sock, ignorant that it contained for tune. The full amount of the deposit subsequently, was returned to the owner.
 She assisted many escaped prisoners to pass the lines, hiding them In the woods and feeding them until an op- portunity for escape occurred and then passed them across the Potomac. Tn one of her dreadful experiences her hair turned gray in single night, and her relatives wondered at this marvel GUS change.
 When negro troops were being en- listed in 1864 some one came to Miss Floyd's home for the purpose of entic- ing her negroes away. Miss Floyd took the negroes to the county seat, enlisted them and got the bounty.

Fruits and Nuts.
Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 England is not the land of fads and fam cies and 1t is surprising to read in recent dispatches from London that some of the foremost people in that city have become nut eaters.
 Lord Charles Beresford and Lady Beres- ford head the list, and the Earl of Buchan and Neville Lytton are late converts to this diet. They were all originally vege- tarians, but they have now discarded all food except fruits and nuts, and nuts alone, served hot and cold, constitute the principal course of the dinner. 1t Is said, at many lordly mansions. "ohl IT the unemployed only knew" exclaimed London nut eater recently, that they could live luxuriously on or cents day on the finest food in the world and that it could be varied so much that there would be no monotony of dishes!
 Sir w. E. Cooper a nut eater, publishes A comparative table of the nutriment con- tained In nuts and meats, and these are some of the percentages: Pine kernels, So' Brazil nuts, 94; chestnuts, Ss; walnuts, sS; almonds, S7; pork, 61; mutton, Ss' chlchen' 33; veal, 29 and beef, ~.
 Vegetarianism has many respectable de- voices in every community, but perhaps there is not @ reputable physician In uhe world who would not say that th1s frult and nut diet was an abSurdlty. ihey would give two reasons for saying so. The first Is that nuts are extremely in- diaestble and for the most part pass out of the body in the same condition m which they enter 1t. They are often said to promote digestion and to some extent this is true, but they promote digestion for the very reason that they are not dlgested themselves That is, they act mechanically on other food, just as cheese. mustard seed fig seed and even b1rd shot do. by keeping 1t distributed and access ib!e to tue gastric juice.
 Another reason for this opinion would he that nutriment In a greatly concen- trated form is almost as useless in the stomach as so much sand The stomach Is a highly elastic pouch and no matter how much nutriment is put into 1t, healthy digestion is impossible until the stomach is distended. It must be meas urabIy full before the gastric juice is secreted. Food which Is 9o per cent nutri- ment is useless, because if swallowed in quantities large enough to distend the stomach it would produce over-nourish- ment and disease.
 Of course, as soon as any one fixes up a nice theory in regard to diet some one comes along with an experience which overturns it. Antecedently 1t would have been regarued as absurd to suppose that man could live and thrive on rice, but the Japanese and Chinese have shown that he car Go so. In like manner there are even lp this country converts to fruits and nuts whose experience would seem to prove that they are the only proper food for man.
 The trouble with the fruits and nuts diet is that it has never been demon strateI to be beneficial on the large scale that rice diet has been. The human body has so many -eccentrlclties that there Is nothing SC wild and ridiculous in the line ol diet or of cures that 1t has not hal it's advocates and it's triumphs.
