SOME POPULAR ILLUSIONS.

Popular illusions about whisky
and cigars are numerous and mighty
near universal" said dealer in
both of these commodities.
Take now, the broad matter of
rye or bourbon whisky. Not a man
in a hundred can tell the difference,
yet not one man in a hundred will
fail to ask for one or the other. and
| if you make mistake and hand him
the wrong bottle he will look wisely
at the label and demand the other
kind. He thinks he knows, but he
doesn't.
ANY good whisky. six years old
and properly matured in dry
wareroom and properly barreled in
good oak slaves, well charred, will
be as rich and oily and as finely
favored as if it were twenty years
old, or even hundred. But men
will smack their lips over q sup of
1866 or something OF that sort and
declare it the finest stuff they ever
tasted. It's all bosh, but it's no
use for dealer to tell his trade that

stand and says, Gimme q strong
cigar. There, this one seems about
the ticket, and he points to black
one. black as your winter hat. Or
he says, Gimme mild cigar, please;
strong ones make my headache, and
he picks out one with a pale wrap

Now, the dark wrapper on q
cigar doesn't by any means indicate
that it is strong. 1t simply proves
that the tobacco leaf matured on the
plant in the sunshine, and is thor
oughly cured. 1t may not be strong
at all.
And the light-col ored wrapper is
one generally. which was picked COM
paratively green. The chances are
that it just reeks with nicotine and
that half dozen smokes of that sort
of cigar would pnt a weak stomach
out OF business and in effect be al
most poisonous.

For the Laundry.

When the picnic season begins,
then the trouble" experts are in de-
mand. Pretty figured lawns, per-
Gales, dimities, and other wash goods
have habit of running" and fad
ing when submitted to the careless
laundress. But if care is taken,
such materials may be washed the
season through without having them
ruined. There is a fine art" in
laundering, as well as in other work
in the home and many things must
be- learned by practical experience.
Keep a bottle each of ammonia, tur-
pentine and alcohol, and also one of
purified Oxgall, in the house. Try to
have soft water for such washing,
and if it can not be had, soften the
water with little borax. or with a
few drops of ammonia. Alchol is ex-
cellent for removing grass stains, if
they are first rubbed with lard; mo-
lasses. also is said to be effective.
Turpentine will remove paint stains,
and will set most colors in wash fab
rics. The ox-gall is used for setting
the different shades of pink, lilac,
purple and light reds. For paint
stains, equal parts of turpentine and
ammonia should be used, but, the
axle-tar must first be we'll rubbed
with lard, rubbing the lard into the
spot to soften the tar, then it can
be washed out with warm suds.
To settle muddy water, such as
river or hydrant water, use one table
spoonful of salt mixed thoroughly
with the yolk of one egg, and stir
we'll into the tub or barrel of water.
Alum will also settle it. Ginghams,
lawns and percales should not 60 in

Called the Food of Immortality"
N. C. Avalanche.

In the vicinity of the Hot Springs,
North Carolina, grows the ginseng
a beautiful plant closely resembling
the sarsaparilla. Even fifty years or
more ago, forty thousand dollars
worth of the roots were exported
each year to the far away empire of
the Chinese Mikado. His people are
about the only nation that has any
use for it, but for centuries to them it
has been essential. The Heather
Chinee' is nothing if not supersti-
tious, and this ginseng has been an
article of commerce with him from
time immemorial. Why? Because it
is lucky plant. Formerly it was
obtained exclusively from Tartary,
and the Tartars were in the habit OF
saying that they could never find it,
except by shooting magic arrow,
which fell invariably where the plant
was abundant. The Chinese call it
the food of Immortality" and they
declare it to be remedy for every
inherited evil, wholes ONE for the frail
in body, refreshing for the memory,
calming the passions and bestowing
inexpressible delight. And here, in
the sunny south, on one of the great
North Carolina mountains, thousand
of pounds are produced. and at about
sixty cents pound prove indeed
lucky to the exporter.
In summer these stupendous south
ern hills are masses of bloom, so
sweet and luxuriant that the vest
gorge formed by the river is a tunnel
of delicate odors, from huge grape
vines as large a ships cable and
long enough to tie ten war ships to-
gether. "Rhododendron" mountain
is one great pyramid of these magni-
ficent blooms with which we so care
fully decorate our northren parks,
and the roots of the shrub are so
large and the wood so susceptible of
fine polish. that the natives fashion
them into large yellow vases embos-
sed by nature with intricate patterns
and embroideries.

One of the "nevel- fails" is q rhu-
barb plant. and it is not half so ap-
preciated as it deserves to be. We
do not know whether to call it q fruit
or a vegetable. but from its uses,
should Judge the name OF fruit would
best suit its possibilities. We have
been asked for some ways of using
it, and right now is a good :ime to
begin putting it up. If the stalks
are old and tough, it is as well to
peel them. but the tender stalks
need no peeling, and the skin gives
the product a better flavor. Use as
little water as possible with it, as
the stalks make their own juice, if

Restraint Of Personal Liberty.

ED. STANDARD:
What kind of law is that that
prohibits common carrier from car
rying beer 10 private parties ? Ii
that is not the limit of idiocy I'd like
to know what you'd call it. 1t seems
to be the. opinion of our Attorney
General that our Legislature, in pass
ing the local option law. intended to
prevent the shipping of spirituous or
malt liquors to private parties in dry
territory. What in the name of
common sense have the people, who
were unfortunate enough to be under
the ban, done to be subjected to such
treatment =? / don't think the Leg
islature ever intended any such
thing. 1t is an absolute infringe
ment on personal liberty that every
honest man should resent. 1t seems
to me very "hollop sounding Bell"
that would render such a decision.
A nice thing indeed to have one
mans "Ipse dirit" deprive free born
American citizens of the privilege of
a glass of beer when they desire it.
Out on such id nonsense. AS we'll
might they deprive. shippers of ship
ping canned goods to private parties.
Those who don't want beer don't
have to have it. Why should they
deprive those who dOY i presume
it won't be long till they'll want
people to do without tobacco and tea
and coffee and prosecute carriers for
bringing it to them. 1t would be
just as consistent. Don't talk to me
about the liberties of the American
people when a man can be deprived
of what he desires by the "ipse dix
it" of one man. or any set of men.

ROOSEVELT'S GALL.

from London to the New York
-A"'er'con, says: Your Mr.. Roose-
velts speech at the Guild Hall is
certainly one Of his most remarkable
performances in his new character
OF the Innocent Abroad. 1t raises
very seriously the question of Eng
lands duty to America. America
broke loose from us at the end of
the eighteenth century and under
took to govern itself. Ever since
that time it has been proving it's
ltter unfitness to govern itself. The
revelations of San Francisco were
the last straw. Nothing that has
ever happened in Egypt can touch
them. If it is our duty as MIR. Roos-
evelt says, to govern Egypt for its
own good without consulting its in
habitants, it is many times more i'm
portant that we should take Amer
ica in hand the same way. l quite
admit that the condition of our own
great cities leaves US open to the re-
tort that we had better learn to
govern ourselves before we pretend
to govern other people, but the
Egyptians may make the retort just
as pOintedly as the Americans, and
Roosevelt expressly tells us that we
must do our duty without attending
to what the Egyptians say. 1t is
certainly very curious that Mr..
Roosevelt, whom we have have come
to regard as an American of the
Americans, should thus deliberately
stir us up to reconquer his country.
He even urges us to do it by vio-
lence and injustice if necessary. 1t
is true that the Americans have
abused their independence and made
their initial government odious
throughout Europe for its c0rrup-
tion and tyranny, but there are two
ways of remedying this. One is
for Americans to reform themselves
and the other is to trust England
for paternal government. Mr.. Roos-
evelt advocates the latter plan. l
prefer the former. America can
take its choice"
Commenting on Mr.. Shaw's re-
marks the Omaha World Herald says:
How handily Shaw turns the
Roosevelt argument against Roose-
velt's own countryl And what
argument, in truth, can be advanced
why England should rule Egypt
which would not also be an argu-
ment in favor of England's ruling
the United States? Has there been
assassination in Egypt? Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley were also
assassinated. Have disorder and
violence disgraced Egypt? There
have been insurrec tions, riots, lynch
ings, night riders and Ku Kluxers
in the United States. Has there
been corruption in Egypt? Look at
New York, San Francisco, St. Louis,
Denver, Pittsburg and Philadelphia!
Has there been shown in Egypt an
incapacity of the people properly to
govern themselves? Look at Joe
Cannon's many terms as Speaker Of
the American House; look at legis-
lation made by Cannon, Payne, Dal-
zell, Aldrich, Hale and Smoot; look
at Dick nominated for Senator from
Ohio; look at Depew, the Senator
from New York; look at the manner
in which the new tariff law was
passed! England, it is true. is as
bad as we are. England is also as
bad as the Egyptians. George Bern
ard Shaw has given imperialism
something to chew on.
