What should children ho taught to believe in order that, when they crow up, they may find that later experience not alter what they learned when young We must teach them that, beyond what what they feel and see and there is something better and greater which can neither Feel nor see nor touch. Goodness, kindness to one another, unselfish- giving up their own are the best things in all tho world. It is true that good- and kindness have no faces that we can kiss, no hands that can clasp; but these are certainly there, in the midst of our work or our play. And this goodness and kindness which, except in outward acts, cannot see is something which existed before we were born. It is from this that we have all tho pleasant things of this flowers, tho sunshine, the moon- those were given us by some great kindness and goodness which we have never seen at all. And this goodness and love that great Power from Whom all things flow. A Household Problem.

Flush is rich looking, but it draws up clumsily; ribbed silk has a hard, and plain satin is old- fashioned. Many of the sachets are double, so that the work may kept in one-half, the silks in the other, or all the materials in one bag. and handkerchief, scant bottle, 1-2 cents, in tho other. A strap joined around as a ring is slipped over tho hand when tho sachet is carried. The sachet is thrown over tho back of a chair when work is in progress. two backs of tho in one place, and ring them. Across the front a of silk embroidered leaves is thrown. Green Lights Bad for Beauty. green is a gay, pretty and fashionable color for the hostess will never put green shades on any lamp she is to entertain women. The lamp is more beauty destroying than tho liver com- plaint renders as pallid ind ghastly as those of persons dead. The woman who refused to rent a pew in a church where the windows wore all of green stained glass was not so far wrong after all. To sit under a groan glare for two hours a week would be asking too much of tho most unaffected woman. Yellow, light, red and white, all soften and becoming to all faces. Even Mrs. would retire from a globe green glass. A Unique Marriage Rite. In tho Island of there is a tribe of differing widely in language, religion and customs from other tribes bearing that Marriages per- formed in tho forest in the pres- of two families. There is no public gathering or feast. The rite consists in transferring a drop of blood from a small incision made with a wooden knife in tho calf of tho man's leg to a similar cut in the woman's leg. After marriage the man takes the bride to her homo, where she resides in as a member of the family. Electricity In Dwellings. It is proposed to utilize electricity for cooking and heating private houses. Machines for the purpose have already been contrived. It is estimated that ninety meals for a family or ordinary size can be cooked in this way at a cost of For the house-heating four machines, each doing work of an ordinary stove, can be main- for about per month, making a bill of or per month for cooking and heating. Notwithstanding tho enormous In- crease given to human strength by the mechanical power, the lever, the pulley, wheel the removal or heavy weights is still attended by strains and sprains. There is positively nothing for such casual I ties than Salvation Oil. HATCHED. in p. The right of Sherman's army was only a few miles from Blue Rock, a mountain village in north Georgia. The simple villagers felt little alarm. Blue Rock was a point of no strategic importance to either federals or confederates. One fine morning in the early spring John Dickson started out from the little hamlet to visit his farm, only a mile or two distant. Dickson was a young man, but a chronic lameness had secured his exemption from military service, and as he had a wife and children entirely dependent upon him, he regarded his disability as a blessing. Still, ho was a ate, and on this particular morn- while he was limping slowly along tho country road, he paused more than once to listen with a face to the sullen boom of Sherman's guns, several miles away. am notable to do much fight- he muttered, if they come to Blue Rock and cut up any of their deviltry I'll kill some of thorn if I have to for Ho meant what he said. This quiet farmer had plenty of grit when he was put to the test Tho walk tared him, and he left tho road and stretched himself in a grassy place under the shade of a sturdy old oak. He threw himself on his back and closed his eyes for a moment. Then he looked up into the green foliage above him. A queer expression flitted over his face, but his gaze remained fixed upon one point a careless way he raised his hand to face, and stroked his mustache. Then the band wan- down over his vest toying with each button.

Senator of South who has been making himself quite popular recently at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, is very fond of a quiet game of draw poker. It is told of him that soon after his appearance in the Senate he joined in a game which soon produced a jack-pot, and some one of the party opened it for Senator hes- at first, but finally con- to come in and drew four cards. The man who opened the pot bet which the Senator promptly raised a like amount The third player dropped out, as the man who opened had not drawn any cards.

How a Snake Swallows a Frog. The method of swallowing is a a very simple one, although, if the frog be large, more than half an hour may be consumed in the process. The two bones of the lower jaw are separate and of independent movement; so the reptile its hold upon one side of its jaw, and, pushing that side forward as far as it drives the teeth in again, and then draws the jaw to its original position. The result is that the prey is drawn down by the movement. The process is then repeated by the other half of the jaw, thus inevitably forcing the victim inward. The snake's skin stretches enormously, and the jaw is, of course, dislocated, but extensible ligaments hold the bones together. The between the diameter of the frog and the serpent's slender neck is, indeed marvelous, and snakes have been observed to split them- selves open by attempting too am- a mouthful. After perhaps half an hour of laborious contortions all that is seen of the poor frog is a great swelling that the contracting mus- are rapidly forcing down tho reptile's neck. If one liberates the captured before it is too late, the wretched animal often seems so overcome by fear, or per- haps stupefied by the serpent's saliva, that it will not leap, but crawls in a painful manner. We must not allow ourselves to be duped into a mistaken however, for such is the justice of the case. Large frogs esteem small snakes a particular G. Mayer, in the Popular Science Monthly. How to Run Fast In the mountainous villages of Germany the letter-carriers are the hardest-worked people the country. They all the mail and are compelled to go at the rate of about five miles an hour. You know that in running even a short distance you quickly test of as you say. The German to avoid this short- of breath, carry a quill in the mouth so that the air cannot be SO rapidly expelled from the lungs. If boys who want to become or very fast runners, will practice carrying something in the mouth when running, they will find that they can soon run a long time without losing breath. They must be very careful, though, not to swallow what they are car- in the mouth. And they most be such careful runners that they will not fall.

Pew Valuable Points for the No Longer the roper Caper for Everybody to Kiss the Bride. Almost every day in our mail inquiries relative to the of weddings. Possibly the general ignorance on this point comes from the fact that it is the first offense of the writer, there- fore he or she cannot be expected to be quite in a matter which it takes time to become ac- to. In answer to the many anxious ones we will say that if the wed- ding takes place in the morning the groom does not wear a dress coat He wears a formal morning suit and wears gloves or not, as he chooses. A best man is usually chosen, he being the groom's brother or most intimate friend. It is his duty to follow the band to the altar, standing at his right hand, a little behind him, and holding his hat during the service. The best man pays the clergyman's fee and returns to the house either by himself or with the maid of honor. The bridegroom, if he so pleases, may present the bridesmaids with some pretty souvenir of the such as a fan, bracelet or locket. He pays for the wedding ring and the bride's bouquet Cards and carriages, as well as the wedding feast, are furnished by the bride's parents. The bride drives to the church with her father, who gives her away. Her mother and relatives, who have preceded her, sit in the front pews. Her bridesmaids await her in the chancel of the church. The bridal procession is ally formed of the ushers walking two and two, then the bridesmaids and last the bride on her father's arm. Sometimes a maid of honor walks with or just before the bride, in which case tho father forms no part of the On reaching tho altar tho ushers and bridesmaids to right and left, leaving a space for the bridal pair. The bridegroom advances and takes his bride by tho right hand and the clergyman proceeds with the ceremony. Husband and wife walk down the aisle together, the others fol- lowing. Formerly brides removed the whole Now the of the left hand one is adroitly cut. so that the ring can be easily ad- justed without removing the entire glove. All brides should write a per- note of thanks for each gift, whether it large or small. After an hour and a half with her guests the bride retires to don her traveling gown, usually by her most intimate When she returns she is met at the foot of the stairs by the groom, who has also changed his costume, and the good-byes are said, the rice and satin slippers thrown, and it is all over. Wedding cake is no longer sent about but neatly packed in boxes and placed where guests can take it on leaving the house. Such is the etiquette of a church wedding, the; refreshments served being either elaborate or simple, as the hostess chooses. The bride is no longer kissed by everybody, only the very intimate friends being lowed that privilege. If we have omitted any point that has proven a vexed one to expectant bridal pairs, pray pardon the omission and let us know wherein we have failed, and once again the pen will be taken up on so important a sub- Times. and Elephants. The visitors to the Central Park menagerie, New York, often won- why fox-terriers are always to be found in the enclosures with the elephants. It is simply because if they were not there the rats, which are many and large, would eat tho feet of the elephants The elephants are chained, and when they lie down they cannot keep the rascally rodents gnawing at their feet So a fox- terrier is kept with them, whose business it is to see that the rats driven away, or to kill as many as possible. The elephants the dog, too. Lately began to gnaw holes in the thick hide of a rhinoceros. So a terrier was placed with this beast, and in one night killed twenty-seven rats. Rats are one of the greatest pests which the keepers have to fight Baths Perfumed With Violets. The flower baths rendered by lien thine, the great Parisian perfumer, are quite with- in the possibilities for a popular girl with a thrifty turn of mind. They are prepared by tossing three of dried violets in the bottom of the tub, soaking them in boiling water for half or three-quarters of an hour; when the rest of tho water is added and bath is ready, delightfully per- fumed and refreshing to the nerves.

HOME Wives Should Not Abandon Their Winning Ways. Ventilation for the Sleeping Room. Pretty Figures for the German. Perfumed Mental Philosophy. We all know how some women after a year or two of married life get careless about their dress. They seem to that their for- tune is and it isn't to arrange the hair or put on a pretty house just for their husbands. his is wrong and it is an error that comes from laziness. Men like to see their wives look pretty just as much as they did when they were but sweethearts. Take a woman's advice and if you can't have but one attractive gown, let that be the one to wear Indoors. Aim to have daintily arranged hair and a neat and simple costume for breakfast. Go in largely for laces. A man is very fond of frills, bits of white about the neck and wrists always appeal strongly to him. Have well-fitting shoes or slippers as the case may be, and in fact aim to make yourself just as after the fish is landed as when you were not so sure of him. Sleeping-Room Ventilation. The proper arrangements of for ventilation of sleeping-rooms has perplexed One thing, however, is certain. It has been proved by actual ex- that a layer of air lies against the walls which is subject to very movement, even when there is a strong circulation in the middle of the room. It is. therefore, important that a bed should not be placed close to the wall. If kept there during the day time it should be moved at least several inches out into the room at night Alcoves and our should be avoided. In an alcove on three sides a lake of air forms, which may be compared to the stagnant pools often observed along the margin of rivers. A yards away a rushing tide may be moving swiftly along, but those placid pools are unruffled by the current Pretty Figures for the German. Among tho pretty and original figures danced at a recent was of the spinning- wheel. A pretty girl sat spinning at a wheel decorated with two bows, one of pink and one of green.

The case against S- Otho son, the Big G- of fame, came up in Wake Superior Court last week. Through his counsel, and he bad a lot of them too, he entered the plea of This a Court may accept and did accept in this instance- Only in very straightened stances is this plea made or lowed usually- Some times a per- son makes it because he is too poor to contend against the State, but this could not have been Mr- Wilson's reason for making it- As we have said he had able counsel and a plenty of them- There is only one sensible reason why he entered this plea and that is this He was guilty and he knew it and he knew he would be convicted, and by making this plea he could protest his innocence and there would be many of his cal associates who would believe it and in this way ho would make political capital and get some mercy from the Court besides. But Judge Brown kinder upset the political capital part of it in his order in which he said the prisoner stood before the Court as if he had been convicted by a jury and was subject to the came punishment if the Court saw fit to inflict but as the Solicitor had not prayed judgment of the Court it would be suspended upon pay- of costs which were large. To this order Mr- Wilson through his counsel objected the next day asked to withdraw the plea and be tried by a jury. This, too, was only a sham to make political capital. He knew the Court would not allow it and nobody believes he wanted the Court to do so- He was conscious of the fact that the witnesses had left for their homes and he could not be tried at this term, if the Court was willing for him to withdraw the plea. Judge Brown as he should have done refused to allow any such silly proceedings and Mr. Wilson was in the. hands of the Sheriff until the costs were paid- This looks as if he nothing about eon's band during the last cam- when he was protesting innocence- He ought to feel thankful that the Court was so lenient with a confessed criminal of a crime of such grave Maybe he will not wish to risk such another chance of getting into the penitentiary.

He was the only surviving one of the regular generals of the Southern Confederacy.

Mr. J. S- Jenkins one of our prominent leaf dealers has moved into the Ricks house near the de- pot. Rumor has it that Mr- Jen- kins will buy this property. Mr. W. A. Darden, of Greene, had a load of fine tobacco at the Greenville Warehouse on Wed- Mr. Darden, like many other Greene county planters, has become convinced that the Green- ville market holds her own with the older markets. We notice with regret that Maj. Ragland of Va. is dead. No one has done more to advance the standard of our bright tobacco than Maj. Ragland and many of our bright varieties attest to his successful experiments, at his seed farm at Maj. Ragland has also by his writings shown to our planters many improved methods in cultivating and housing their crops and his name was almost familiar with every planter in our State. His death leaves a place i that will be to fill. With much pleasure we Bro.

Every tobacco grower knows that bright tobacco is put on the floor it don't make any difference in what house or on what market, it always outsells any- thing else. Now to the farmers of Eastern Carolina. Out in Tennessee, in Kentucky, in Wisconsin and in most Virginia the farmers grow a heavy tobacco which is used for plug purposes and for which they realize from three and one half to seven cents per pound. They make about or 1,200 pounds to the acre. They don't try to make fancy brights but devote their time and attention to getting completion of his sixth volume. as much in quantity per acre as Bro.

MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS In Brights Annually Becoming More Dependent on Eastern North Caro- for the Production of this Grade of Tobacco. A few days ago we had a long talk with an experienced tobacco- and in the course of his talk he said that the world was looking mainly to Eastern North Carolina for the production of her bright tobacco, that the Central and Western part of the State were annually falling off in the of this grade, the demand for which is increasing much faster than any other class of tobacco. Said he, your farmers have it in their power to become one of the most independent as well as the most prosperous people of any sec- that I know of in the world.

He told him that he had been sell- principally in Greenville, whereupon the warehouseman told him that ho had lost money by selling in Greenville, that he, the warehouseman, had been selling tobacco for one of the Greenville buyers and was making for him from to per hogshead. Now we any ware- houseman in North Carolina to prove this assertion. It is palpably false and utterly barren of the slightest semblance of truth. like to see honest competition and above all things admire an and hustling business man, but when a man resorts to such low and contemptible means of getting tobacco to his house for the small amount of commission there is in it for him, he is so far off of the high plain of business principles that he will do no one much harm, and words and time are wasted in criticism of his con- duct hence we withhold further comment.
