Fripay, Marcu 13rn, 1896.
The Evening News, C. W. Hunt
editor, made its appearance at Bur-

We took occasion to write something:

trees can be planted on each acre and
and, benefit
tothe trees. We said that in 20 years
trees could thus be grown which would
be worth $75.00 or even more per tree.
We now say furthermore, that of the
160 trees planted on each acre at least
100 of them should arrive at the stage
of maturity without interference to the
crops and an actual enrichment of the
soil; and also, that if the man will
study the nature of each tree as it grows
he can train themto curl and also prob-
any to produce a burl"Hickory Press.
Boys and Matches.
The boy who carries matches is
about as dangerous as the fellow who
points the unloaded gun at you. Re.
cently we printed an account of two
young boys settmg the woods afire on
the eastern edge of town, and it was
only by hard work that the destruc:
tion of property was prevented. Last
week some boys set the fence on fire,
on Davie avenue, between the Feats
dence of Dr. L. Harrill and Mr. Tom
Murdoch (the property owned by Mr.
J. J. Sullivan ), and only a timely dis-
covery and prompt work prevented
what would have probably been a se-
rious conflagration. We douot know
that in either of these cases there
was any intention on the part of the
boys to do serious damage; or that it
occurred to them that disaster might
result, but this does not help the mat-
ter.
A gentleman who was in the
Landmark office when this last _ fire
was reported, told of an: incident with-
m_ his knowledge, which oceurred re-
cently in the upper edge of South
Carolina.. A load of straw was being
put into a barn, A boy playing pe
the inside had a match in his pocket.
Result: Barn
burned and boy with it.
It is an extremely delicate matter
to advise parents about the govern
recent occurrences it may not be amiss
to say that parents of small boys
should impress it on them (either by
moral suasion or with the limb of a
*simmon tree) that they must not carry
matches."Statesyille Landmark.

She had beeh ~pedding up on
the financial question and she
had heard the only gold bug
a lively rate about a ratio of 16
to 1, which he opposed, of course.
She had a little gold dollar hid
away among her trinkets and
|things, so she thought it a good
time to make the piece of yellow
metal do good seryice.
She walked into the store of the
gold bug and said, oI would ~like
to see some nice dress goods,

oCertainly,� said the obliging
yellow metal advocate, pulling
down some late style fabrics.

Skating Suits.
Fashionable women have returned to
their love of skating, and some pretty
fur-trimmed costumes will be worn in
their rather exclusive rinks. These
differ little from the cloth tailor gowns
seen every day, but are slightly shorter
fitted jacket waists with fur vest or a
fur Eton jacket set on are prescribed
by tailors, while others wear the new
belted jackets of baby-lamb or of seal-
skin, with a cloth skirt bordered nar-
rowly with the samefur. A bright
bit of color is liked for these cloth
frocks, as purplish-red, or leaf green,
or else golden-brown trimmed with
Capucine velvet or with glowing poppy
red. Capes are not affected by skaters
while on the ice, though useful after-
ward to prevent chill. A small close
hat with soft puffed crown, ora genuine
turban of fur or of cloth or velvet is far
preferable to wider-brimmed hats for
skaters."HarperTs Bazar,
From the Irish Standpoint.
Timothy O'Hooligan was carrying un
a clandestine correspondence with a
certain young lady of his acquaintance,
and he called at the post cffice to see if
there were any letters fo~ him.
oHave ye any letters for me?� he
asked.
oWhat name, sir?� asked the clerk.
oTim Murphy.�
oNo. There are no letters for that
name.�
oAnd do you think ITd be afther tellinT

turned Tim, angrily."Pick-Me-Up.

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND
He Is Totally Unlike the Generally
Accepted Type.
Blandered by Foreigners as a Patient
Barden Bearer of the Household"
The Fact Is He Is an
Ideal Mate.
There is a theory that the patient,
unexacting financial agent whe is sup-
posed to typify the genus husband in
America"who, like charity, suffereth
long and is kind, thinketh no evil, and
giveth all his goods"is womapTs ideal
of @ mate, but this is a slander. The
dull submission of the overladen ass is
not the quality which ordinarily ex-
cites feminine respect.
That brilliant, greedy figure, hung
with jewels, who stands aloft in the
social car, laying the goad upon the
vowed shoulders of the humble, over-
worked married slave who draws her
chariot, is purely a figment, evolved
out of the notebooks of saallow for-
eigners rushing express through the
country to make a volume of travels.
In reality the American husband is
the most exacting of his kind. He de-
mands gayety, physical and Mental
charm, a high cultivation of all her
powers, and an infinity of careful per-
formed duties from his wife.
If the American woman is brilliant
ican husband will put up with nothing
less. In older civilizations woman finds
in married life all the conditions pre-
~pared for her; rules made which she
has only to obey; a careful code of
precederts which she has only to fol-
low.
( Here a woman may be within a period
of seven days transported from a coun-
try boarding school to the most con-
spicuous position in the land, and with-
out previous training be called upon
to receive ambassadors and preside at
state dinners.
The husband who elevates his wife
from the washtub in a mining camp
to the palace of a millionaire expects
her to create out of the chaos of her
previous experiences an ordered social
world between the morning and the
evening of her first day of wealth"and
she does it and likes it, and loudly pro-
claims that this exacting creature is
the most delightful example of hus-
band known.
Curiously enough, the real person is
as unlike as possible to the generally-
accepted picture of the typical Ameri-
can husband, with his narrow, sordid.
bank-clerk soul, his neglected mind,
and his cynical estimate of woman as
a fantastic child with an insane lust
for luxury.
Perhaps the typical husbands of other
nations have been as much belied, and
the Frenchman is not the sensualist
from her arms into alien hands in
order that her attentions may not for
& moment be distracted from himself
nor her labors diverted from his busi-
ness.
Perhaps the German woman is not
really an unpaid, contemptuosly-treat-
ed upper servant, nor the Englishwom-
an the victim of a selfish, domineering
master.
At all events, but few women find
all the unpleasing characteristics of
the type combined in their individual
specimens of the national .husband."

If mothers would only realize the full
significance of the truth expressed in
the trite saying: oAs the twig is bent
