LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO

onset rine

The last few days of warm weather
has caused tobacco plants as well as all
other vegetation to take on new life.

Farmers, now is the time to’ force
your tobacco plants. You can grow
them almost as fast as you please by
placing an ordinary barrel near the bed
and filling it half or two thirds full of
‘stable manure and then fillit with wa-
ter, Takea sprinkler and spray this
water thoroughly all over the bed. In
twenty-four hours time you have no
idea what a chauge it will make.

We have always thought and con-
tended that tobacco ought not to be
transplanted before the 1st of May, but
the last two or three years experience
of our farmers teaches that in the eas-
‘tern section, at least, tobacco ought to
be transplanted just as soon as you
can possibly get the plants large
enough. We heard a very successtul
farmer say last week that he would set
his entire crop during April if he could.
Our people have been taught that the

Why do makers wh

In Henry county, Virginia, some
years ago, a young woman who was
suing her former sweetheart tor breach
of promise, was put on the witness
stand, and the lawyers, as usual, began
making all sorts inquisitive interrogato-
‘ries.

You say,” remarked one, “that the
defendant frequently sat very close to
you ?”

“Yes, sir was the reply, with a hee-
tic flush,

“How close ?”

“Close enough so’s one chair was all
the sittin’ room we needed.”

“And you say he put his arm arouud
your waist ?”

“No, I didn’t,”
“What did you say, then?”
“T said he put both arms aroun’ me.”
“Then what ?”
“He hugged me.”

A False Nose,

David Finkelstein lives in Bridge-
port, Conn. He is 20 years old. Da-
vid is a handsome youhg man, full of
life and fire un! good, rich, warm, puls-
inz blood. His nose has no lite or fire,
_ and no blood in it. ‘

It is made of rubber, and thereby
hangs a tale of martial infelicity.
broken hearts, humiliation, law-suits

and mertification.
David fell heels over head in love
with pretty Yetta Eisenbrock. ‘They
were married. David had never
told Ins sweetheart that he had a talse

nose. In the bridal chamber David
sngezed,and.offcame his nose. The
bride had seen it all. She hadseen the

“Out of my house!” he yelled.
“Miserable deceiver, avaunt !”

“Let me find my nose first,” pleaded
Finklestein. .

He found it where it. lay, beneath
Yetta’s wedding finery, and was3_hus-
tled out of the room. —

Eisenbrock after some _persausion,
allowed him to pass the nizht ina
small room in'a distant part of the
house. -Sinee that time Finkelstein has
not seen his w:fe, and she has begun a.
action for annulment of the marriage,
claiming that he married her by ‘trick
aid device, and other legal things.
She says that she no longer loves him
without his beautiful nose.

    

ANEW EGG-SETTER.
Ycung Lady’s
in Mr, Stronach’s Violet Bed,

 

Mr. W. C. Stronach is telling a
wooley tale, full length and a yard
wide. Beat said right here that when
he springsa yarn it is always worthy to
find its way to the type setiing case.
“Out at my place,” said Me. Stron—
ach,” I have a whole acre in violets.
And every afternoon, nearly, there are
pretty girls out there picking tiem.
There were five or six there one after-
nocn last week. One young lady _ be-
came tired and glancea around for a
seat. She saw what she took to be a
mottly brown rock, and sat down.
Then you just ought to: have heard the
screaming! That “rock” just rose and
squalled and flapped. It went across
the violet beds like a steam engine, and
it hasn’t been seen sinve it half flew,
halfjumped over the fence.

“It turned out that the suppesed
“rock” was Mr. Jack Weir's old speck-
led turkey hen. She likes flowers and

{she-was setting like all creation. on

twenty-four promising eges, when the
young lady sat on her. She rose up,
as I said, end the young lady sat for a
moment on the eggs.”

“Then” said Mr. Stronach laughing.
ly, “ the young ladies syrrounded. their
unfortunate’ friend aad walked home
with her, to keep bad men from finding
out the joke.”—Raleigh Press-Visito~.

Some Further Notice of the Chief
Missicnery Societies. —

te oe

We saw in former communica-
tious that all the Missionary So-
cieties were organized in the clos-
ing years of the iast,aad the be-
ginning of the present century,

and that anything like ao organ-

ized effort by the churches to give
the world the gospel is just about
one hundred years old. This 1s
the missionary century of the
christian church, Let us note in
a general way some of the re-

sult.

Most readers do not like fig-

ures, aud I will not burden you

with them, bat let the christian

worker look on the foliowing and
rejoice while the most sceptica)

should be convinced. The figs
ures given are for 1891 and are

reliable. In this year the three

hundred and four Missionary So-

cieties and agenciés had in’ the

diffsrent Mission fields of the
world 6,094 missionaries,2,445 un-

married female missionaries,3,73U

helpers, LABSGSO" communieggs

While the number of natives un-

not short of one million. One of
the most siguificant of all the re-
sults, alike in itself and its mean-

the

 
 

    

secretaries haye been informed
through Thos. R. Jernigan, (a
North Carolinian) U. 8.:- Consul
Gen. Shanghai, China, that the
Emperor of the’ Chinese Empire
has issued an order removing all
restrictions upon the propogition
of the christian religien in China,
and instructing the local author-

pire to expunge from the yarious
editions and compilations of the
Chinese code, and claims placing
restrictions upon the propogation
of the christian religion. Whata
great change since Robt. Norison,
the {first protestant missionary,
landed therein 1807, and could
only remain as the emyloye of
the East India company, and
translated the Bible into their
language and‘compiled its diction
ary and grammar.

Necessary Preparation.

Little Miss de Fashion (Inceting noted
author in ihe park)—How-de do, Mr.
¥inemind! Mamma is awful glad you
is coming to her reception.

Great Author—I am delighted to
learn that she is pleased.

“Yes, she says you is the biggest so-
ciéty lion of the season, and she’s so
glad she got ahead of that Mrs. De
Styie. Mamma has told everybody
you are comin’, and they is all worked
‘most to dsath. Mamma's head aches
awful this morning. :

“Um-—to what do you refer, my
dear?”

“Why, you know, everybody is nearly
killin’ theirselyes tryin’ to read your
books, so they can talk to you about
‘em.”—Los Angeles Herald.

 

Blubber Baths for Rheumatism.

In Australia they have a whale cure
for rheumatism which is said to be ef-
fective, though disagreeable. It was
discovered by a drunken man, who was’
staggering along the beach near the
whaling station at Twofold bay, and
who, seeing a dead whale cut open,
took a header into the decomposed
blubber. It took two hours for him
to work his way out, but he was then
not only sober but cured of his rheu-
matism. Now a hotel has been built
in the neighboring town of Eden,
where rheumatic patients wait for the
arrival of a whale in order to take blub-
ber baths.— Detroit Free Press.

MAIL FOR MINERS.

An Undertaking Which Is Exceedingly
Hazardous in Winter—The Unique
Free Delivery System of
the Miners. ‘

Probably the most unique method of
transporting mails known in the
United States post office department is

‘that in daily use between Telluride and

Smuggler. The mining town of Tell-
uride is located at the head of a pictur-
esque guich. The mountains rise in
majesty to cloud-piercing heightsabout
the town, and from every propitious
diaw between the giant peaks, foam-
ing caseades, waterfalls and roaring
streams come down from the snow-
laden summits to swell the torrent of
the San Miguel, which rushes through
the town. Four miles above Telluride
is Marshall basin, situated among the
snowy peaks and far above timber line,
and in this basin is the little mining set-
tlhement of Smuggler, where the em-
ployes of the great Smugeler-Union and |
“Tom Boy mines make their homes.
Although the inhabitants have a post
cftice of their own, the postal author-
ities do not guarantee a regular serv-
ice, because of the diffieulty of keeping
atrailopen in the winter time. The dan-

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

—On stoves and furnaces 18,340 pat-
ents have been issued covering every
part of these indispensable articles of
comfort.

—Five generations of one family are
living on a homestead at Bardstown,
Ga. The head of the family, W. 0.
Cherry, has 136 living descendants.

—After the cocoons intended for the
silk manufacture have been finished
the worms are killed by the heat either
of steam or of hot water. Ifthe insects
were allowed to esape the value of the
cocoons would be lessened.

—For several years an old soldier
has been compelled, by poverty, to live
in the poorhouse of Carroll county, Mo
He has just received a pension, and has
decided to remain in the poorhouse and
pay his board, because he likes his
home there so well.

—Indiana’s oldest residents are Alex-

ander Ferguson and his sister of
of Frankton, Alexander is 103 years
old and his sister 107, Alexander
worked on, the farm every day. doing
the ordinary chores of the place until
he had passed his 100th birthday, and
is still in excellent health. He takes a
daily walk of a little more than two
miles. His wife is over 90 and is in good
health.

—The army rules are that two-inch
ice will sustain a man or properly-
spaced infantry; four-inch ice will
carry a man on horseback or cavalry

 

eerous snowslides constantly threaten

or light guns; six-inch ice, heavy field

destruction to the hardy miners who} guns, such as 80 pounders eight-inch
scramble through the snows up the | ice, a battery of artillery with car-

sieep trails to the settlements in Mar-|
shall basin. Untilinrecent years all sup-
plies for the camp in Marshall basia
were transported thither by pack ani-
mals. Timber for the miners, coal for
the boilers, and iron rails were dragged
over the trails or packed securely about
swaying pack saddles and carried to an
elevation’ of 12,000 feet by the burro.
When winter closed down and the burro
trains could not longer be driven on
schedule time the miners would take
turns’ in going down on: snowshoes
to get the mails and a few necessary
supplies that could be carried upon
their backs.

But the practical application of the
endless chain by the inventor of the

Huson tram has greatly facilitated the,

transportation of supplies from Tellu-
ride up to Marshall basin. Great iron
buckets, each carrying down the moun-
tain a half ton of ore, furnisp by their
weight the active power which drives
the endless chain from which they are
suspended. In these buckets, upon
their return, the necessary supplies for
the camp are placed. One of the buckets
is painted a bright red color, and the
letters “U.S. Mail,” im biack, désig-
nate the use to which itis put, The
daily mail for Smuggler post office is
now delivered as regularly across the
four miles of precipice, snow-buried
guiches, and giant mountain rugged-
ness with as much-safety as between
two settlements in the prairies of west-
ern Kansas or Nebraska.

Just over the ridge of peaks from
Marshall ‘basin is the post office of
Mount Sneffels near the famous Virgin-
ius mines, seven miles above Ouray, a
mining town which is as picturesquely
located as Telluride. A good wagon
trail leads from Ouray up the mountain

‘ side to Virginiius mine, but in the win-

ter time the trail-fills with snow, an oc-
casional slide destroys the continuity
of the route so that sledding cannot. be
done, and the mails are carried by men
with snowshoes. There are a number
of snowshoe routes in the mountains
of Colorado, but none more hazardous
than this one. The men who carry the
mails over snowshoe routes seldom
meet with accident. They have learned
to understand the peculiarity of snow-
slides, and when a high wind is blow-
ing or other meteorological conditions
tonke traveling along the trails danger-
ous, they postpone their trips until set-
tled weather returns. Sometimes the
mails are two weeks in arrears when
the mail carriers dare to venture forth.

A free delivery system is in vogue in
the mining districts, though the postal
‘Authorities have nothing to do with it.
From every mountain post office trails
diverge up every draw and gulch. A
miner setting out for his cabin, perched
somewhere far up on a mountain, will
take with him all the mail belonging to
his neighbors, though they may live
miles from his place. At each turning-
off poiut a small box will ‘be found
nailed securely to the trunk of a stou:z
old pine tree, and upon this box is
scrawled the names of all miners who

| niust pass that tree in going te their re-

| spective cabins,
“1 man from town deposits all the mail
| belonging to miners living up that

Into this box the last

particular gulch. From that gulch a
miner will oceasionally descend for the
mail, and as he returns up his trail he
deposits in turn the several pieces
of mait in other boxes placed at con-
venient points. In this manner one
man ean save many a weary step to
other miners who live out the long win-
ters jn. the very, heart of the Rocky
mountains, | Mails are collected in’ ht |

'riages and horses, but not over 1,000
pounds per square foot on sledges; and
ten inch ice sustains an army or an in-
numerable multitude. On 15-inch ice
railroad tracks are often laid and oper-
ated for months.

—The most important, as well as the

i commonest metal in the world, is iron.

It is almost everywhere in nature. We
are bombarded from cosmic spaces bs
meteorolites of nearly pure iron; the
spectroscope finds it in stars so distant
that the naked eye sees but emptiness
in the abysses wherein they burn. It
makes a 12th part of the crust of the
earth. Its particles are mingled in the
dust of every country road, in the air
we breathe, in the water we drink, .in
the food we cat. It is the great color-
ist of nature. Even the red of our
blood is due to its presence.

A Genial hgotist.

“Fliram,” said Mrs. Corntossal, “T
don’t say ez I’m dissatisfied with what
you've done in life, but when I read
about all these people goin’ to congress
an’ doin’ great things I feel ez if we wus
vittin’ left in the march of events.”

“Mandy,” was the reply, “the greatest
men of history is them ez wanted ter
stay home an’ be let alone an’ wusn’t
allowed to hey their wish but wus

forced by their feller citizens to grab

hold o’ the reins of guv'ment.”
“Yes; I s’pose that's the case.”
“Well, I’m even better off’n them. I

but I’m bein’ allowed ter hev my own
way about it.”—Washington Star.
