An interesting experiment in the use of oil as an aid to navigation in rough weather is making at Frankfort on Lake Michigan, where railroad cars are success- fully through thick ice by vessels equipped with three pro- on each quarter and one in the bow. The experiments made have been with oil conduits run out from the to a distance of yards into the lake. Tho presence of the oil assures smooth water on which to steer in for the pier entrance. In with tho oil conduit from shore, the two steamers em- ployed will now carry oil bags ready for whenever enter- port in stormy weather. The oil bags are made of canvas, cone shaped, and are about the size of an ordinary 100-pound flour sack. The bags are first filled with waste and then with Finally they are well punctured with a sad needle, and when used are trailed over the weather bow, along the water line, by good stout lines. The oil, oozing out, stretches away for a distance of fifty feet on the weather side of vessel, and presents a barrier across which no sea can cross. Steamers leave.

Where Rest is Girls May Walk to Punish There is rest for the weary if the activities of the home-maker are directed towards a suitable for tired moments. household lounging place, and the following plan can adopted wherever a restriction in finds would place a regularly made sofa out of reach. Buy an ordinary cot with woven wire springs. Cut off the legs two inches and remove the head and Buy a hair mattress to fit and cover it with cretonne, buttoning it down at intervals of four inches like a cushion for a seat Tack a box-plaited flounce of the cretonne around the edge of the cot on the sides. Finish the top with narrow gimp. Make four or five feather pillows two square and cover them with material that will contrast prettily with tho cretonne. Tho result of these simple directions will tho truth of my opening re- mark. English Girls May Walk Alone, Tho independence of action characteristic of tho day as re- tho feminine world exorcises a effect upon the attitude taken up by young girls belonging to tho upper classes. Formerly they were hedged round by many restraints. They were not allowed to go here and there without being by one of their own by mother or maid, says the Queen. Did they go shopping, a maid must go too, and sit in tho shop side by side with them; did go out to afternoon tea or to make a call, tho maid must go too, and wait in the hall. It is now considered quite per- and quite conventional for a young girl to walk by herself through tho streets of London. She may walk alone when shop- ping, when when attend- lectures or classes, to early and late church services, to study art at South Kensington and other museums, or travel by train on district, main or suburban hues, or wherever engagements lead. The lino is certainly drawn at walking in Hyde Park alone, although few independent maidens consider their pet quite sufficient protection there, but there is no restriction as to tho length of a young may look in at shop windows. Silver Bedsteads. A bed made in Paris for an In- prince was constructed partly of silver, with large female figures at each corner, each holding a fan, The weight of the body sets certain ma- in motion, which causes the figures to keep the fans gently in luxury in a hot mate. By touching as a large musical box is made to give forth soft music as a further incentive to slumber. Another bedstead of silver is said to have been occupied by the German Emperor during his visit to the Sultan. It had curtains of surpassing rich- heavily embroidered with gold. What a contrast this to the simple iron camp bods occupied by of tho of Europe. Punishing Children. A mother whose success in the training of her folks is some- thing beautiful to behold, believes in the punishment fit the and finds this rule to work far better than measures that have no real bearing on the case. For instance, the untruthful little one is not permitted to speak until only correct statements are promised faithfully to be uttered. If a child disarranges the work basket or fitters up the room it is not sent away after a shaking or slap, while the mother spends an hour in putting things to right, but is made to pick up everything and arrange things just as they were before the busy little fingers did work.

The model known as the is a favorite with stout women. Ii is wrinkled across the front, the back arranged in horn or trumpet folds that gradually spread towards the lower edge. Beer Drinking and Women's Feet. The dimensions of the feet of English and German women are ascribed to the habit of drinking beer. The American who have also adopted that drink are beginning to lose the beauty of their Peculiar Apology. I must request you not to stare at my daughter. B. I beg ten thousand pardons. I thought was only your wife. Texas tings. More Conspicuous In Butter- flies and Other Insects, But Also In Large Birds, and Even In Beasts The love of dancing is found throughout the animal world, shown more conspicuously in but- and other but also in large birds, and even in beasts. The Naturalist in La has lately added some very curious in- stances to those accumulated by Darwin and others, showing the delight that certain birds take in moving together on the ground after a set fashion, which does not vary. Tho a large rail, with very long toes and beautiful greenish-gold feathers under the wings, stops feeding every little while, rushes to spot, to tho number of six or a dozen, and then all move about in a cluster with wings raised. Tho a true rail, does the same, but pares smooth places beforehand for the dances, as the prairie chicken is said to do. Both these birds scream loudly while Tho most novel, as well as the most singular performance, is that of the lapwings. These have a ceremonial for reception of a visitor. They in pairs, but often one lapwing will its mute and approach a pair. The latter advance to meet it, and themselves by side behind their guest. All three begin to march in that order, the leader omitting loud notes at pair keeping up a stream of sound like the roll of a drum. Then all three stop. Tho leader raises his wings and stands erect and motionless, still uttering loud notes; while tho other two, with puffed-out plumage, and standing exactly abreast, stoop forward and downward, until tho tips of their beaks touch th ground, and sinking voices to a remain for some time in that position. The guest then departs to its mate, and they in turn receive a with the same pool Times. A Strange Canyon. George W. Dunn, the veteran naturalist of California, has re- turned to San Francisco from a strange canyon in the Mountains, Lower California, where he went recently to secure some rare plants, and seeds of the blue palm. He says that the canyon has never to his knowledge before boon explored by white men, and that its declivities are all together more rough and frightful than any he has seen on the Pacific although he has traveled much. About two thou- sand Indians were there gathering the fruit of tho palms pine nuts. They reached it, as did Dunn, by going down the almost perpendicular sides of the range. The drop is in three miles. Dead Indian ponies and horse skeletons lined the way. The formation from the bottom of the terrible to tho saw-toothed back- bone is clean and pure granite. Along tho is a tumbling cascade of pure mountain water, on either for miles are of the pretty palm. Boston Transcript.

What a cheerful little sound it is No wonder that the maker of it should regarded with favor. Its bright ditty always brings to mind such pleasant scenes, and a welcome is always given to the on the But what is a cricket To most it is rarely more than a name or a sound. The insect itself is so seldom seen that only by its cheery chirp do we know this fit- tie creature of good There is a good deal of poetic sentiment and superstition surrounding the cricket, but it is a greedy little in- sect, and is very fond of a nice warm fire. Probably because of its liking for heat, it is always afflicted with a great thirst, and is particularly partial to milk or water. It cannot bear the light, which fact seems to indicate a guilty conscience, and it relapses into at tho least noise. So, in the of the night, when all is quiet, it makes its journey- in search of food. A few stray crumbs are very acceptable, and sometimes a scrap of animal food is relished. It is only the male cricket that is gifted with a voice, and ho uses it chiefly to charm the ears of his lady-love. The one song of his life is a passionate lore appeal. How does he produce it On the under surface of each of the leathery of this domestic pet may be seen, with the naked eye, an enlarged jagged like a fine saw. On the upper side is a smooth, prominent surface. The rubbing of the sharp on the under side of one wing on the upper smooth surface of the other produces tho sharp, clear sound with which we are so familiar, and has resulted in giving the in- sect tho Greek name signifying shrill-sounding.

President Cleve- land made his address and was sworn in on a large stand erected on the east side of th e Capitol around which thousands of people were gathered. The stand con- seats for several hundred, the front of it being occupied by the President-J party- the Justices of the Supreme Court in their robes, the diplomats of for- countries in their official cos- -Senators, Congressmen and ether officials, the remainder of the stand being filled by those fortunate to get seats thereon. It was our good fortune to be among the latter and we had a position seeing what transpired and hearing the ad- dress- At the conclusion of the tho Presidential party were driven back to the stand in the front of the White House grounds which they took their for the review of the parade. The procession started about o'clock and was more than four hours passing before the President. This parade was the grandest ever seen in Washington. There were in line thousands of the regular soldiers of the United States and the guards from sever- States, comprising infantry, and as well as nu- clubs political hundreds strong.

President Cleveland has not changed his habits since he was in the White House before. Every morning this week he has been at his desk hard at work by o'clock, midnight has found him still at that desk nearly every night. It is well that he has such habits, as up to the present time he has been given but little time to work between the hours of a. in- and p- m-, owing to his numerous callers. The semi-official announcement that President Cleveland would not remove until the of their terms, except causes other than political; any of what are known as four-year is, officials commissioned for a term of four years, resulted in in a small degree tho pres- sure for office, but there is still enough, and to spare, as may be seen and heard all sides. Speaking of office-seekers, the of them now Washing- ton been greatly by the newspapers. I have no means of is more than doubtful whether anyone has whether the statement repeatedly made that there are more for office ever before is true or not, but I do know, as do the Washington hotel keepers to their sorrow, that tho number of men seeking offices in person is to-day much smaller than it was months after the inauguration of Harrison- It is probably true that many of the thousands of Democrats who came to the and remained- until tho first of this week were but if so they filed their papers and went back home after paying their respects to the President and his cabinet, our hotels are not much more crowded at this time than is usual at this season. And at of can be the seething, loud talking crowds which were their most prominent features until midsummer follow- inauguration. It is just as well to tell tho truth about these There are Democrats here after the offices which they believe their work in the campaign entitles them to unfortunately of thorn than there are offices to be there is no such crowding and wild scrambling as has been Senators Gorman, Blackburn, Ransom, Harris, and White, of Louisiana, were pointed a committee by the Demo- caucus held on Tuesday to arrange tho reorganization of the Senate on a Democratic basis. Owing to the difficulty attending the allotting of the various chair- of committees the com- has not yet completed its work, which will have to be ratified by another caucus before being brought up in open Senate. There has lots of tomfool talk because tho populist Senators Kyle and Allen, not invited to attend the Democratic caucus, while Martin, of Kansas, was. There was nothing strange or unusual about it- Martin is a Democrat, although he affiliates, to a certain extent, with the lists, while neither of the other three make any claim to being Democrats- It is more than probable that President Cleveland and his net are giving more attention to the critical financial condition of the country than they are to appointments to office- The offices can wait, but the continued demand upon the Treasury for gold must be met or the country will be plunged into a panic, the results and end of which no man can predict Secretary is Mrs. Waters Georgetown.

We propose to keep talking more prize room until we get it and then Greenville will pendent. Mr. Richard Harper, who was on the floor of the Eastern with a heavy load of the weed a few days ago told us that he had sold the most of his crop in Greenville and that he had spent between and in Greenville for groceries and dry goods which usually went to Snow Hill merchants. By a in last week's is- sue of the this market is quoted as having sold only twenty six thousand pounds of tobacco during 1891- It should have been two hundred and sixty thousand. Mr. R. R. Cotten is also ed having obtained dollars an acre for four acres of his tobacco. It should have been Mr. C. Cannon. Mr- Cotten, we are sorry to say, has given his tobacco and his influence to market, to the of an- other town. We are therefore not prepared to say how much he has realized per acre- We know this, that Pitt county and Green- ville beats the world on high aver ages for Messrs.

A Letter From a Gentleman in an Ad- joining County, who Thinks the Outlook for the Future of Greenville Encouraging. It is with great pleasure that we have the privilege of publishing the following kind and generous letter, which touches forcibly the same points on which we are so zealously striving to impress the people of Eastern North Carolina. It is from the pen of a high-toned scholar and Christian Prof. Jno. Duckett, to whom the State of North Carolina owes a debt of gratitude for the valuable and patriotic work that he has done in the of her interests. Hamilton, N. C, Mb- O- L. Dear am delighted in reading your department in the Reflector. It always affords me great pleasure to learn of the of any of my former pupils. Your articles are well written, sen- well formed, and your than they can perceive before them. Yet after all, it is young men that make the world more progressive. Some years ago I visited Durham, and to my the men that I had read about so much in connection with the progress and up and of Durham were nearly all young men. Some were almost beardless youths, yet the vim and push they have given Durham has made it the livest town in Central North Carolina. If Eastern North Caro- is ever to from its and the garments of progress it once wore, or produce new ones, it must be done by its men. If new fields are to be cultivated, if new enterprises are to started and successfully prosecuted it must be done by its young men, hence I repeat that it affords me great pleasure to see a young man was a faithful pupil under my instruction for two or more years launching out into new fields and starting up new enterprises, for this section at least, with prospects so high- May success crown your efforts may you see the day when you are more to Eastern North Carolina than Jule Carr has been to the middle section of the good old North State. I can well re member when Durham was a much smaller town, and much less business was done in it than is now done in Greenville- Indeed back in the seventies no one thought that there would ever be anything Durham but Black- Durham Bull, and the depot. One new enterprise started and another and thus the town has grown from a railroad station to a live progressive city. Push and brains start, and money comes afterwards. There is not a single progressive city the United States that has been start- ed from the jump and made so by rich people. The start was first made by pushing men. then like the reservoirs of water way up among the Rockies, which have held it there for ages, except what was evaporated, when a way was started from the dry valley to these reservoirs or lakes, the water did not wait for a wide channel to be opened but realizing how much the valleys could be made to smile forth plenty rushed down and where was once sterility is now great abundance.

Capital and was afraid of Morse's new ideas for a long lime. Edison was a young man, poor in the world's goods when he invented and started the electric light. But mark bow capital has flow- ed in to strengthen these and make them powerful and enduring. It often happens that a few men make a town, though many may reap the benefits. Keep level headed, but push on, not growing weary because ob- may be met, and in days yet to come many may point to the success you have achieved not merely for yourself bat for your town and county.

But I do not consider tobacco a farm crop in the sense we apply to corn, wheat, but it is rather a garden or nursery crop, for it wants to be coddled and nursed from the plant bed to the ware- house, and it needs quite a manure from grain crops as it is the leaf we are after and not the grain. Chemistry has aided the farmer wonderfully on the manure and our agricultural ex stations are doing much good, which. I am sorry to say are not as fully appreciated as they should be. They have found that the tobacco plant is a great potash consumer and that our barnyard manure does not contain a sufficient quantity of that available the first year it is applied to supply its needs. It will be observed that all new lands Whose virgin soils have not been exhausted by cropping will produce the finest cos. What then is the remedy I found that if on the heaviest manured ground I wish to grow tobacco that will color well, burn well, and cure well, I must supple- the barn yard manure with some chemistry manure to bring the desired result, Right here is where our average farmer runs against a snag in plying chemical manure. Most people think that one brand phosphate is as good as when, in fact, it is not a phosphate we want at all, as that is a grain producer and is entirely unfit for tobacco. It would be utterly possible for me to recommend any particular brand of manure for E, O. L. JOYNER, Owner Prop.

This can not learned by stations scattered far apart, but by each constituting his own farm in experiment station, and he will thus learn particular results and let the stations find out general results I have tested several different brands of chemical manure, be- sides nitrate soda, sulphate, etc., and I find some brands were a positive in- jury to the tobacco. Thus it would be the of folly to ad- a special brand for general use, but it would be safe to any brand that analyses ten to twelve per cent, potash Last year I applied soda nitrate at the rate of pounds per acre with very good results, giving good growth and splendid color, But the wet season, perhaps, was favorable. I we should also change our mode of applying arable manure. The Ufa of the tobacco plant is t o short to re- the full benefit of it as in ten or twelve weeks the growth of the plant is finished and manure applied spring is not yet de composed. I am not prepared to show by experience, but it looks reason able, that we ought to apply a heavy coat of manure sod ; plow for corn and then supplement with chemical manure for tobacco the following year. I am more convinced every year that our best way to grow tobacco to per- is to select some suitable field and the best on the farm at that and keep that for tobacco and nothing else, and manure heavily. I have a lot of one and a half acres which was the seventh successive year and this year's crop shows finer any previous one. Witness the crops grown on lots in Washington borough, for instance, which was grown on the same ground every year. Few sections of the country produce heavier or finer crops, some of which was sold at cents per pound last year. Business Sympathy.
