Jack had gone out by the southern
door, and the sisters watched
the engine pushing through the
same door a train of small cars,
each holding its huge iron mold.
Just as the train had gotten into

heard a dull thud outside, and the
engine reversed its wheels and
stopped. The three or four men
in the room rushed for the door,
ran nut them-
a Dad jolted the first car,
and its mold had, in falling,
knocked a man down. As the girls
came near saw him lying on
his back in tho dust, with his face

Manicuring the Hands.
In manicuring tho hands,
should first softened by
in tepid water, in which have
placed a few drops of ammo-
and a small of
soap. Tho cuticle around the nail
should then carefully loosened
with the little spoon-shaped
provided for the purpose-
never with a knife, the use of
which is always detrimental. The
nails should be filed into a round
oval shape, avoiding tho French
point, which is no vogue.
Should the rough pieces of skin
known as appear,
they should cut away with a
sharp pair of scissors, and should
in any circumstances torn
out They will cease to be
troublesome if the hands are care-
fully and systematically treated.
The white spots which so often
disfigure tho nails said to be
directly attributable to physical de-
are by no means
easily got of, but a little refined
pitch mixed with myrrh, laid over
them at night and rubbed off in
tho morning with a bit of cocoa
butter, is said to an efficient
agent in removing thorn.
Painting on Chamois.
Painting on chamois leather is a
style of decoration which is still
used for dross trimmings, and for
various household ornamentations.
The natural ecru color of
leather is sometimes preserved,
though quite often tho leather is
stained to a different color. A de-
sign in dark shading into
the natural color of tho chamois,
is probably as effective as any-
thing Small pieces of this
work been in for
but large hangings are now
made decorated in the bold,
way which gives tho best re-
in this material. Quaint
bolts, with long, hanging ends, de-
signed from old peasant costumes,
are decorated in this way.
Removing Coffee Stains.
stains should wet with
cold, soft water before being t
into the wash, and will usually be
found all right when tho launder-
is done. A surer way is to
run boiling water through the fa-
which will carry away the
stain at once. Where an
fine damask suffers from this cause
it is to apply a mix-
made from the solution of
yolk of egg in clear water, with a
few drops of wine added. Allow
the solution to penetrate tho fabric
thoroughly, then wash out with
t water and tho stain will
be gone.
Ink Stains.
Ink stains may be from
colored covers by dissolving
of oxalic acid in a
of hot water and rub-
bing the stained part well with the
solution. Ink steins may be taken
out of anything white by simply
putting a little powdered salts of
lemon and cold water on tho stain,
allowing it to remain about five
minutes, and then washing it out
with soap and cold water, when
the stain will disappear.
Styles Year Ago.
During 1770 French women
wore shoes with very pointed toes
and high, slender heels. In 1789,
the year of revolution, an
dance of rouge, many patches and
very high hells was considered es-
aid to female beauty. The
men wore shoes of similar

The Odor of musk.
The most potent of all perfumes,
musk and attar imported
from the East, but are too power-
especially the former, for
European tastes at the present
day. It was, however, the favor-

royal ladies, the Empress Jose-
Down to the epoch of the
destruction of the palace of St
Cloud by fire, during the war of
1870, tho dressing room of the suit

especially tho drawers of tho

of that odor. Tho mortar employed
in the now ruined

with a quantity of Musk by the
piety of tho masons engaged in
the work, and to this day the
rounding atmosphere is highly
scented with it, especially when
the sun shines upon the ruins.
This extraordinary durability of
tho scent producing quality has
brought about various interesting
experiments. A French chemist
once exposed a small quantity of
musk after weighing it to the rays
of the sun in a closed room. tor
a certain period musk was
again weighed and was found to
have lost no perceptible portion of
its substance, even when the min-
tests were applied. Yet the
scientific experiment calculated
that tho volume of perfume evolved
had amounted to no less a
than 57.000.000 of particles.

that were directly detrimental to
their interests. History bears us
out in this. As the question now
up is one of a religious character,
two or three illustrations from the
Bible will lend strength to this
point-
Look at the children of Israel as
they stood on the verge of the Red
Sea and saw no way of progress
or getting beyond reach of
their approaching enemy- They
began clamoring to return to the
land of bondage from which they
had just been delivered, and ask-
if there were no graves in
Egypt that they had been brought
out here to perish. Fortunately
they had a leader who instead of
yielding to their desires bade them
wait and see the salvation of the
Lord. A moment later the waters
divided and a way of escape open-

to pander to the of the

in the South over his death as
there was over the demise of
Beast Butler. The day has pass-

son, is on deck and already hard
at work. There are several thous-
and resignations of fourth-class
postmasters on hand, and these
will be disposed of before he be-
gins the work of removing
postmasters.
Speaking of postmasters, P- M-
G- stated to a delegation of
Missouri Congressmen that the
policy of the department concern-
appointments had been mis-
represented by a certain class of
newspapers. In the first place, it
had been stated by these news-
papers that the recommendation
of Congressmen would count for
nothing. As a refutation of that
statement the fact was pointed out
that not a single postmaster had
yet been appointed who did not
have the endorsement of his Con-
While not disposed to
Ignore the Congressmen, Mr- Bis-
sell said that the question of who
should be postmaster should in a
measure at least, be decided by
the people of the locality, who
were more directly interested than
anyone else, and that the wishes
of the people,
would certainly be considered in
making appointments. No-
body is to be ignored; what the
department wants is the co-opera-,
of both the people and the
Congressmen in the selection of
such postmasters as will increase
the efficiency of the postal service-
Mr also denounced as
false the statements that women
and editors are to be discriminated
against in the selection of post-
masters.
The number of nominations sent
to the Senate this week is con-
ahead of any other sin-
week. There necessarily
been some personal disappoint-
but with the exception of
the nominations of Burke and
Hawkins to be S- Attorney and
Marshal for Indiana, over which
there was a little flurry, no adverse
criticisms have been made of any
of them by Democrats
The Democratic caucus decided
to elect the officers of the
at the present extra session, and
nominated ex-Congressman W.
R. Cox, of North Carolina, for
Secretary Richard J. Bright, of
Indiana, for Sergeant-at-Arms, and
Rev. W. H. the blind

of the House for several terms, for

en to resort to filibustering to

It is to feared that there is
too much truth in this anecdote.
Our farmers know that it is
to feed their horses on the
Northern hay, keep their wheat
fields in the great West,
smoke-houses in Louisville,
and Chicago, and their
fertilizers in distant islands of the
sea. They ought to know, after
a long experience, that a big cot-
ton crop means low prices.
Still, there is no unanimity of
sentiment among our farmers.
They have made a start in the
of diversified crops, but
the upward tendency of cotton last
year will cause them to turn about
and repeat past mistake of
planting more cotton. Look out
for bales at or cents.
We know it is urged that an ex-
currency would enable us
to sell even this big crop at a fair
price and the point is made that
merchants will not credit planters
unless they plant a good deal of
cotton- But we have no expansive
currency, and pressure of pub-
opinion must be brought to
bear upon the merchants. If the
farmers are not encouraged to
diversify their crops, they will
soon be so despondent that they
will sell or give away their farms
and go West or flock to the towns.
Even at great sacrifice and
it is better to turn over a
new leaf right now. If the farmers
will not plant less cotton, let them
at least produce more bread and
meat.
That cure of Geo. W. Turner, of Gal-
way, N. Y., of scrofula, by Hood's
was one of the most remark-
able on record.

There is more money in raising corn at

of this, and if you want cotton to be
even lower than cents next fall put in
a big crop of it this season.

We heard a farmer complaining the
other day that corn was high. That
the cake. Corn Is one thing that
every farmer ought to have plenty of and
feel good when it will bring a big
price. That is Just the cause of the
trouble with so many farmers to-day,
instead of raising such supplies as
need on their farms they have to go else-
where for them. Any man who has
go off of his farm to buy corn and hay and
meat ought to be made to pay high prices
for them. Raise these things at home
and be sellers of them instead of buyers.
What would you think of a grocery mer-
chant who went to some other dealer to
buy all the groceries he uses In his own
family What would you think of a
buggy manufacturer who went to some
other factory whenever he wanted a
buggy for his own use Such actions on
their part would be just about as reason-
able as a farmer going somewhere else to
buy everything he needs and should raise
his farm. Plant a big cotton crop this
year to the exclusion of food crops and
yon will hear more complaint next win-
about corn and meat being high than
you have heard the past season.

Greenville, N. C, March 24th, 1893.
A business man told us the other day
that advertising pays him better in the
spring and summer than any other season.
This explodes the idea that some have
that it never pays to advertise a dull
season. The hustler the year
through is the man who scoops in the

COTTON MARKET-
NORFOLK, Va., Mar. 24th, 1893.
We have another slight decline in the
cotton market this week under the con-
of dull foreign markets and the
dread of increasing acreage.
New York contract market has been
nervous and unsettled. The demand has
been limited and this together with the
prospects for a big crop this year has de-
pressed values. The market closed ten
to eleven points lower this week than
last week.
Liverpool market has shown a slight
since the Lancashire strikes
were settled yesterday but It is not prob-
able that we will see better prices until
after Easter, on the contrary we may
have lower prices.

STRONG
A BUSINESS VIEW OF
FUTURE.
There is no town within the
borders of North Carolina that has
a brighter prospect of future
than Greenville. Situated as
it is in the western part of the
eastern or tide-water belt renders
its climate delightful and healthy.
Its soft and genial atmosphere is
often compared to the climate of
Northern Italy and Eastern
whose balmy and sunny shores are
annual resorts of numbers of our
rich American tourists.
The rich alluvial lands by which
it is surrounded makes it one of
the finest agricultural and truck-
sections in the world. The
of soils with which nature
has so abundantly blessed this
section of our State presents a
advantage in the
of crops. Almost any pro-
duct that is grown throughout the
United States, tobacco, cotton,
corn, wheat, oats, peas, sweet and
potatoes and all kinds of
garden vegetables and fruits can
be successfully grown anywhere
and in any direction in a radius of
ten miles of Greenville.
For a number of years the only
means of transportation available
to the people of Greenville and
surrounding country was a line of
steamers that connected with Nor-
folk Va., but within the last four
years the Scotland Neck branch
of the W. W. R- R- has been
built and now it connects with all
points north and south and is
within twenty-four hours ride of
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station is doing much for this sec-
of the State in the way of dis-
tributing grasses and
stock farming. Until a very few
years ago the farmers of this sec-
depended only on cotton as
their source of revenue, while now
they are becoming more
dent in the cultivation of tobacco,
truck, ac. and in the production of
most of their articles of home con-
such as meat, flour, corn
Another, and one of the most
important features in connection
with the future progress of Green-
ville is the fact that the tobacco
market that is being es-
here is bringing the
farmers and their trade from a
number of counties that formerly
Greenville has not been reaching.
For an instance there are a
of farmers who will this year
plant heavily of tobacco from near
in Craven county.
They all have been selling their
tobacco in Greenville. They com-
here and being impressed
with the market will of coarse con-
and this year will sell largely
on this market- Now if the mer-
chants here are men and
care anything about the success

establish a trade with these farm

business that has formerly been
TOBACCO LIKED BY
SOLDIERS.
Sir Evelyn Wood in his report
on the recent military
at as summarized by
Captain John Lancet- says that
there was less smoking in the
ranks on the line of march than in
the previous year, with the result-
advantage that fewer men fell
out. He appears to be in favor of
regulating the quality as well as
the quantity of tobacco smoked
by the soldier. By far the larger
number of soldiers in all armies
smoke. During the Franco Ger-
man war one of the first things
the German soldiers sought was
tobacco. The loss of his pipe is
keenly felt as a real deprivation by
the military and civilian smoker
green- alike, and there is no gilt more
valued the inmate of a work-
house or lunatic asylum than to-
Without entering into the pros
and cons of the tobacco
it cannot be doubted that
the immoderate use of the strong
kind of tobacco which soldiers
affect is often very injurious to
the very young soldiers- It
them nervous and shaky, gives
rise to palpitation, and is a factor
in the production of the irritable
or so-called and
tends to impair the appetite and
digestion- It would be a great
point gained if soldiers could be
induced to smoke some of the
milder kinds of tobacco and we do
not see why these should not be
sold in canteens. The soldier
fortunately prefers the strongest,
because it is cheaper, inasmuch as
a small quantity produces an effect
that would only result from the
consumption of a much larger
quantity of any of the milder
kinds. On active service it would
be a good plan for the government
to supply the soldier with tobacco
of the latter sort, either at a free
issue or at a trifling charge-
was obtained from the dwarf tribes
inhabiting the and
forests, near the equator. To
make the pipe the little people
take mid rib of the banana leaf,
which is cellular, by pushing
a long, hard river reed through
the rib, they are enabled to get the
bore required for the pipe stem-
They plug the lower end with
clay, and rolling up a section of
banana leaf into a tiny
cut a in the stem and
insert it for bowl, the sap in the
green leaf preventing its
the tobacco bums. This
pipe recalls the bowl made from a
potato and the stem made out of
a piece of twig from which the
pith has been driven, which was
employed by many American sol-
during great war. An-
other curious pipe is made from a
shell which comes from New Gui-
While the pipes used in the in-
are more generally made of
bamboo, those smoked in the
neighborhood of the coast, and
especially in and the Solo-
man Islands, are made of shells
which are picked up on the sea-
shore. At present the principal
pipe used in the southern portion
of New Guinea and the adjacent
islands is the English clay, and .
pipe of this description is
ally acceptable as a part of the
payment for a day's labor in that

PREPARING LAND FOR TOBACCO.
Having put the land in nice
lay off the rows with a
shovel three feet three
inches apart, and follow drilling
along the furrow, a good
at the rate of some two hundred
and fifty to four hundred pounds
per acre, according to the natural
strength of the soil and the
of manure previously applied,
then follow with one-horse turning
plows, lapping four furrows on
the fertilized trench, and when
finished in this manner your lot is
ready to be planted when the beds
have been with hoes,
with two feet ten inches
apart to make points for setting
the plants. In the older portions
of the fine yellow tobacco country
the applications are becoming
heavier from year to year, some
planters using as much as six
pounds to the acre-
New ground, or old field, that
has grown up and been cut down
will require different preparation
from the old smooth land. But on
the former our best brights are
raised Any preparation, that will
put the soil in fine condition, clear
off roots, and trash, is all
that is required.
Experience teaches that if land
is cut down two or three years
to its being prepared for to-
it greatly facilitates the
preparation and helps its fertility.
Much of the vegetable material,
both in and upon the soil, rote,
the roots break easily and the
oil is altogether lighter and finer.
