No one is so independent as the farmer; he doesn't have to truckle ; if he is insulted he can resent the insult without fear of losing trade, and there is no earthly reason, with the improved farm machin- cry he now has in use why he should hot have an eight hour day and such leisure for reading and study as would soon make him one of the best informed men in any calling. Why shouldn't the farmer be all this and more? Sure ly he has the possibilities.

A CARDOF THANKS.

Below is a card of thanks written by convict in the railway cars used as prisions Tn which the con- victs that are working the railroad through here, are kept. In his ar ticle he very plainly shows the goodness and generosity of the people of our town. The statement is the expression of the convicts for the services rendered to them Sunday evening at the Methodist church. We know not who the author of the piece may be and take this method in telling them we herein publish same with pleas ure and should you wish to fur ther talk to the people through the press, our columns are free to you and yours.
 THE CARD.
 Were it possible for mere words to express the limits of apprecia- tion, then it might be possible for the good, and generous people of McCrory to fully realize just what their kindness means to us men in bondage. But words are quite inadequate to express the deep and sincere regard they have planted in each convict's heart last Sunday, and it's attendant services marked a new departure in the life and interests of each man. Where formerly he was skeptical and suspicious, there is now practically implanted the con- viction that there are people un- selfish and generous enough to take him by the hand and kindly show him the right way. Many 8 time calloused heart softened for the first time in years; the dull apathetic eye frightened as the ''parson" told the Story of the Cross. For the time being, we men forgot where and what we were. A vision of mothers ten der hands were administering to our wants; we heard again her soft lullaby, and we were made better, cleaner men and our con- trite hearts went out to the noble impulse and we thank you with cheerful and appreciativs hearts.

NAN BATHING Al BABY.
Z 5 tha Delineator,

Many fathers stand aloof from the
common domestic duties. not because
they are 20 busy or because they are
not willing, but because of ignorance.
How many men are there who would
not gladly drop their business at any
time and stay home alid give the baby
his bath. If they only knew how.
Yet In reality it Is much simpler than
It seems. Fill the bathtub full OF any
good water, first carefully removing all
germs. Put your elbow in occasionally
to see IL 1t is the right temperature. II
Ice forms on your elbow o may know
the water is too cold. II there are Bills
tiers then 1t is too warm. Be mOder-
ate In all things.
Take the baby firmly by boil feet
and shake him loose from his flannel
moorings, until you begin to see safety
pins ahead. Then remove the safety
pins with gas nippers. and unroll until
the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber coat,
put n hand firmly under the baby's
chest and the other on his back, and
launch him on h still waters. When
he has kicked all the water out OF the
bathtub renew as before.
Be careful. while you r manipulate
ing the baby, to keep him face down.
Otherwise Q would not be able to put
water anywhere else but in his mouth.

KEEP THE MOUTH CLEAN

/ Many persons. immaculate In all other
respects, are utterly %unmindful Of the care
which should be given to the organs of
respiration and speech.
These organs, IT health is to be main

Clean. Nothing without this will effect a
cure Of the diseases which attack them.
Much more effective than segregating
~consumptives would it be to teach people
to care for the mouth. nose and throat as
singers do. II this were done, tubercu-
loss, together with catarrh and kindred
ailments, would be %relegated to the class
Of rare disorders.
TIC begin with, the mouth should be
cleansed most thoroughly and carefully at
|pnce after eating, says the Portland Elk
press. To wait an hour or more before
doing this is to invite malignant germs,
sure to accept the summons, and there is
the beginning of a colony certain to make
trouble of some kind.
The mouth affords an excellent culture
tor germs and they quickly extend into
the various resonan chambers-the chest,
throat and nose, and later into the intri-
cate passages and cavelike spaces COM
municating with them, and SO on into the
lungs.
The nose should be bathed at least once
a day Cat night with a douche and after

COLOR SCHEMES.
From Harper's Bazaar.

We can get innumerable color
schemes from nature during the entire
year by studying her in this way with
~half-closed eyes and a due appreciation
Of massing and color schemes; but il
is In the autumn that we almost catch
our breath in our effort to keep up
with the pageant; sweeps of yellows,
russets and golden browns, with
glimpses of the dark brown trunks to
give strength to the scheme; russell yell
lows placed in direct contrast with the
the rich coppers of the oak with its
sturdy dark brown branches, the soft
shimmery silver green of the locust
against a background Of copper and
brown; the brilliant red of the sugar
maple giving a Haunting touch of color
to a mass of dark green
These color combinations can be made
into the most fascinating Of color
schemes; libraries glowing with the
rich browns, coppers and greens of the
oak; living rooms with the browns and
yeilows Of the chestnuts; drawing
rooms with the c~ontrasted yellows and
greens of the naples n hemlocks;
and bedrooms with the dainty green
of the locust and the puppies and laven-
ders Of which one sometimes catches
a delightful glimpse in a distant play
of colors.
Fortunately for us, 1t is now possible
not only to study and make up delight
full new color schemes in this way, but
to carry them out. A few years ago WI
would have sighed in vain for materials
with which to fulfil our dreams. Nov
they are to be had, n at reasonable
! prices also; hangings, papers, stains for
woodwork, and dyes for Stuffs.

Do not seek relief from suffering

Chintzes Of all kinds have been d
perfect craze among fashionable wo-
men for some time past. No bedroom
is considered up-to-date unless the
furniture is covered with gay colored
chintz and h curtains are made to

A new departure in interior decor
alton is to have the bedroom walls
also covered with chintz to match the
hangings. Chintz is almost as easily
put on thu walls Is paper, and the
effect is far more attractive.
A bedroom which has just been fin
ished for a New York woman was most
attractively fitted up.
The walls were hung with a pink

finished at the top with a pink gimp

taken every night will prove invaluable.
Each pill contains one grain of solid ex-
