Peanut Politics and Prohibition.

It-is encouraging to the good
cause of temperance to publish
letters like the one from Hon. J. S.
Holbrook in this issue. With such
prominent republicans as former
representatives of Wilkes, J. S.
Holbrook, William Lee, William
A. Tharpe and other prominent
Wilkes republicans, and such
prominent republicans as Judge
Pritchard, Lusk, Hicks, Gus Price,
Judge Robinson, Isaac Meekins,
Col. Henry G, Dockery, and hun
dreds of others of the best element
of tbe republican party, and about
all of the prominent democrats,
strongly favoring the temperance
cause, it is less than ''peanut pol
itics'' to try to drag the question
into partisan politics. As Preach
or A. T, Pardue remarked in his
sermon in the court house yard
the other day, cit Is the 15c poll

Office on a boat swimming in the

Oddities of Warfare.

Owing to the small calibre of the
bullets used during the Russo-Jap-
anese War many soldiers did not
know that they had been struck by
them until the frenzy of an attack
had passed. During the Battle of
Mukden a company of Japanese in
fantry, of a strength of ninety men.
attacked a Russian party holding the
opposite bank of the river. The at
tack was carried through with great
spirit until the Japanese arrived un-
der the river bank, when the Russians
evacuated the position, evidently be-
lieving that their fire had been with
out any effect. 1t was only then that
forty out OF the ninety Japanese dis
covered that they had been wounded
during the advance. The company
commander only made the discovery
in his own case by seeing the water OF
the river redden by his blood. There
was apparently no physical effect of
the wounds so long as the men had
been sustained by the fury and eX-
element of the advance. But on see
ing that they were wounded all, from
the officer downward, experienced the
moral effect of their injuries, and all
n once felt that they could advance
no further.

How to Keep Eggs.

BY scientific experiments a fairly
good method has been evolved. Su.
burban Life thus summarizes 1t:
There are several methods by
which eggs are kept in good condition
for several months, but the most sat.
isfactory is that of submerging them
In a ten per cent. solution Of silicate
of soda or water glass. A pound OF
water glass may be secured at a drug
store, and should be dissolved in n
gallon of cold water and thoroughly
mixed. The eggs should be placed in
the liquid, point downward and en-
tirely under the surface. If there is
any loss by evaporation after a time
this should be made coed by adding q
little water.
This plan has been recommended
because Of it's simplicity, and eggs SC
treated will keep in good condition
for nearly a year. 1t should be IN
derstood, however, that only fresh
eggs should be preserved. To secure
the best results they should not be
more than tw%enty-four hours old.

of Love.

What is the tombstone Of u love
for Christ? Is it the willingness and
desire to feed, in every sense, the
lost sheep and the sheep of the king
dom?
Often in the humblest life we find
this pure love given forth at the
greatest sacrifice. Jacob Riis tells.
in his "The Battle With the Sum-"
of a family of father and daughter
in two rooms that had been made out
of one by dividing off the deep dormer
window. 1t was midwinter and they
had no fire. He was a pedler; but
the snow had stalled his push-cart,
robbed them of their only other
source of income, a ledger who hired
cot room in the attic for a few cents
a night. The daughter was not able
to work. But she said, c~heerfully,
that they were getting along" It
came out that she had not tasted
food for many days-was starving,
in fact; indeed, she died within a
year, of the slow starvation OF the
tenements. She met her pastors gem
tie Gliding with the excuse: "Oh,
your church has many poorer than l
am; 1 don't want to take your
money"

we are ever ready to change it.
The cab pulled up al last at the
door of a dingy abode in that quar-
ter of the city where barristcrs most
do congregate, and here again some
thing unfamiliar in the aspect of the
place struck her. causing her heart
to sink, though it was some seconds

Removing Iron Rust.

Whenever the ordinary hooks and
eyes have been used on light colored
frocks there are almost sure to be
spots of iron rust ss a result. The
very first thing to do Is to rip off the
fasteners and get the rustless kind.
Then rub each spot of rust with
salts of lemon and wash out thor
oughly. 1t may be necessary to re-
peat this two or three times, but it is
worth the trouble. If you haven't
this preparation, use plain lemon
juice, soak the salt in it, put it on
the spot, and expose to the sun.
If all of this proves useless, and

try chlorinated lime.-New York

The Care Of Frocks.

Don't turn your frocks inside out
before hanging them up. AS the out
side is looser than the lining, tbs
method of hanging produces creases
and quickly ruins the set of the skirt.
If a gown is very delicate in color,
put the skirt on a hanger and inclose
it in a bag of blue muslin.
If a sachet is attached to the hang
er the skirt will be pleasantly scent
ed.
Blouses should be laid in boxes or
drawers with each bow stuffed with
tissue paper and the sleeves also
filled with it. Cover the blouses with
muslin and, If possible, do not put
one directly on top of another, says
