tumorous fjcimrtmcnt. To be Decided Later.?Judge Greene, of the State of , is a good lawyer, and somewhat of a stickler for the niceties of pronunciation. Ex-Judge Dennison, in arguing a motion before him, had occasion to refer to Browne on Torts, and pronounced the author's name as though it were spelled "Browny." The judge passed the first mistake without notice; at the second he shrugged his shoulders; at the third he said, "The name is Brown, not Browny, Brother Dennison." "But it is spelled B-r-o-w-n-e," said the counsel, in his very deep and measured tones; "and if that does not spell Browny, what does it spell ?" "'Brown,' of course," sharply answered the judge, whose patience was becoming ruffled. "My name is spelled G-r-double en-o, but you would not call me "Greeny," would you ?" Mr. Dennison turned to his books, saying, Aonarentlv to himself, but loud enough to be ? ? / ^ heard all over the court-room : "That will depend upon how your honor decides this motion." Judge Greene loves a joke too well not to lead in the laugh that followed. W&T A certain evangelist was conducting a religious revival in a Georgia town when one of the biggest sinners in the place made a profession of religion and joined the church. There was great rejoicing among the brethren and sisters over this wonderful reclamatioh. One old lady, who had always regarded the convert as one of the most hardened sinners and utterly past redemption, called the preacher to one side and said: "Brother B., yop can adjourn this meeting. There is no longer any use of your services here." "Why ?" exclaimed the minister in some surprise. "Because you have converted the devil himself." JOT Many years ago, when new sects in New England began to break the good old Congregational barrier, and make incursions into the sheepfolds of the regular clergy, a reverend divine, a man of good sense and good humor, encountered an irreglar practitioner at the house of one of his flock. They had a pretty hot discussion on their points of difference, and at last the interloper wound up by saying, "Well, doctor, you'll at least allow that it was commanded to preach the gospel to every critter ?" "True," rejoined the doctor?"true enough. But then I never heard it was commanded to every 'critter' to preach the gospel." |9* She had for hours been preparing vials of wrath for .him when he should return. "So you're home at last," she said, as she let him in ; "it's a wonder you've got home at all." "No diff'erly gittin' home," he said, "moon's full." "There's more fUll than the moon, I'm afraid," she said. "Yes, were all fUll." "What!" she exclaimed, growing scarlet with indignation. "Jus' as I say. We're all full. Moon's full, and I'm full, and you're beautiful." "Well," she said, with a fiunt smile, "I suppose I'll have to forgive you, as usual." W&~ A skeptical young collegiate confronted an old Quaker with the statement that he did not believe the Bible. Said the Quaker, "Does thee believe in France?" "Yes; for though I have not seen it, I have seen others that have. Besides, there is plenty of corroborative proof that such a country does exist." "Then thee will not believe anything thee or others have not seen ?" "No, to be sure I won't." "Did thee ever see thine own brains ?" "No." "Ever see anybody that did?" "No." "Does thee believe that thee has any ?" I^ Tommy was a little rogue, whom his mother had hard work to manage. Their house in the CQUjatry was raised a few feet from the gron0d,V and Tommy, to escape a deserved whipping, ran from his mother and crept under the house.

A Desirable Quality.?During the temporary absence of Mrs. C.'s cook, a woman was secured to take her place. Finding many things that needed her attention, Mrs. C. was kept busy where the substitute was also at work. After many admiring glances, the latter exclaimed, "Well, Miss C., you are mighty smart to work. You must be a great help to a hired girl." I?" Wagg?I want some eternity. Clerk? 8ome what ? "Some eternity for the lining of a coat." "We haven't any such thing as you ask for, but we have some excellent lasting for coat lining." "Well, that's just what I asked for."

Rules for Preventing Its Spread, Drawn Up for Popular Use. The means by which typhoid fever may be prevented from spreading are very simple, very sure, and their cost next to nothing. They are founded on the discovery that the poison which the fever spreads is almost entirely contained in the discharge from the bowels. These discharges infect: 1. The air of the sick room. 2. The bed and body linen of the patient. 3. The privy anil cesspool, or the drains proceeding from them. From the privy or drain the poison often soaks into the well and infects the drinking water. This last, when it happens, is of all forms of fever poisoning the most deadly. In these various ways the infection proceeding from the bowel diseases often spreads the fever far and wide. The one great thing to aim at, therefore, is to disinfect these discharges on their very escape from the body, and before they are carried from the sick room. This may be perfectly done by the use of disinfectants. One of the best is made of green copperas. This substance, which is used by all shoemakers, is very cheap and may be had everywhere. I pound and a half of green copperas to a gallon of water is the proper strength. A tcacupful of this liquid put into the nightpan every time before it is used by the patient renders the Alaf%Yick*rrck novfonflir 1l firm 1 Onft L/U? CI UlOVUtti^v |/V1AVVV?J M. part of Calvert's liquid carbolic acid in fifty parts of water is equally efficacious. To disinfect the bed and body linen and the bedding generally, chloride of lime or McDougall's or Calvert's powder is more convenient. These powders should besprinkled by means of a common dredger on soiled spots on the linen, and abcut the room to purify the air. All articles of bed and body linen should be plunged immediately into a bucket of water containing a tablespoonful of chloride of lime, or McDougall's or Calvert's powder, and should be boiled before being washed. A yard of thin, wide, guttapercha placed beneath the blanket, under the breech of the patient, by effectually preventing the discharges from soaking into the bed, is a great additional safeguard. The privy or closet, and all drains communicating with it, should be flushed twice daily with the green copperas liquid, or with carbolic acid diluted with water. In towns and villages where the fever is already prevalent, the last rule should be put in force for all houses, whether there be fever in them or not, and fo r all public drains. In the event of death, the body should be placed, as soon as possible, in a coffin sprinkled with disinfectants. Early burial is on all accounts desirable. As the hands of those attending on the sick often become unavoidably soiled by the discharges from the bowels, they should be frequently washed. The sick room should be kept well ventilated day and night. The greatest possible care should be taken with regard to the drinking water. Where there is the slightest risk of it having become tainted with fever poison, water should be got from a pure source, or should at least be boiled before being drunk. Immediately after the illness is over, whether ending in death or recovery, tlm dresses worn by the nurses should be washed or destroyed, and the bed and room occupied by the sick should be thoroughly disinfected. These are golden rules. Where they are neglected the fever may become a deadly scourge ; where they are strictly carried out it never spreads beyond the person first attacked. To Destroy Rats.?Farmers are often pestered greatly, and suffer much loss by the depredations of rats, and they well know it is a very difficult matter to get rid of the sly fellows by trapping. A correspondent of one of our exchanges gives his method of deluding the rascals, as follows: Take a pan nearly full of bran, set a small steel trap without any bait, put light wad of tow or cotton under the pan of the trap, which press down so it is just ready to spring; put the trap in the bran, making a place with the hand, so that it may be below the surface when level; lastly scatter a few kernels of corn on the bran (pumpkin seed are better) and you are ready for your victim. I hardly ever fail to fool some of the old riugleaders in this way, while younger ones are easily caught. Another expedient for ridding a place of rats is given -by a writer in The Scientific American. He says : We clean our premises of these detestable vermin, by making whitewash yellow with copperas, and covering the stones and rafters in the cellar with a thick coat of it. In every crevice where a rat might tread we put the crystals of the copperas, and scatter the same in the corners of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since that time not a footfall of either rats or mice have been heard about the house. Every spring a coat of the same yellow wash is given to the cellar as a purifier as well as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery, or fever, attacks the family. Onions.?One day I was taken with chills and headache. My quinine box was empty and I was looking forward to a restless night. In desperation I peeled a raw onion and ate it slowly and then went to bed with warm feet and an extra quilt. I was asleep in five minutes, and awakened in the morning quite well, Our homely but strong friend will be appreciated in time as a medicine, and if agriculturists would turn their atten?j'--'-~ ? /tninn nri+vi + cfpantr WUU IU lillSlllg U 1UUUC1UUIUU, miu vuu ui.v..s scent taken out that taints the breath so unpleasantly, families will be putting such pills into the cellar by the barrel, and the doctors wolud take to onion fanning. The onion acts as a cathartic and diuretic and may help to break up a eold or lessen the bad symptoms. A doctor says: "I always store a barrel of onions in my cellar in the fall. We have them cooked twice a week, and whoever is threatened with a cold eats some onions raw. If this vegetable was geuerally eaten raw there would be no diptheria, gout, rheumatism, kidney or stomach troubles. I know the young men and women are afraid to eat them. One young man went so far as to say to me : "If my wife ate onions I would get a divorce the same day." Watch the Children's Feet.?Lifelong discomfort and sudden death often come to children through inattention or carelessness of the parents. A child should never be allowed to go to sleep with cold feet; the thing to be attended to is to see that the feet are dry and warm. Neglect in this has often resulted in a dangerous attack of croup, diptheria or a fata), sore throat. Always on coming from school, on entering the house from a visit or errand in rainy, muddy or thawy weather, the child should remove its shoes, ana the morner nerseu ascertain whether the stock: igs are the least damp. If they are they should-be taken off, the feet held before the fire and rubbed with the hands till perfectly dry, and another pair of stockings and another pair of shoes put on. The reserve shoes and stocking should be kept where they are good and dry, so as to be ready at a minute's notice. What Fresh Air Will Do.?It will blow all the cobwebs out of the brain and make your thoughts clear and strong. It will sweep the dust from the heart and make all things look bright. It will make a face yellow and wrinkled and paint it as fresh as a rose. It will make a lazy person feel like \\^>rk. It will pay your doctor's bill by keeping you well. It will lessen expenses by giving you a good appetite that will relish plain food. It will cure nervous headache. It will keep you awake in church. Then indulge freely in this luxury and enjoy the result. Good Advice.?When a horse stumbles, never raise your voice?the creature dreads its master's chiding; never jog the rains? the mouth of the horse is far more sensitive than the human lips; never use the lash? the horse is so timid that the slightest correction overpowers its reasoning faculties. Speak to the creature; reassure the palpitating frame, seek to restore those preeeptions which will form the best guard against repetition of the faulty action. Fire.?To avoid suffocation in a house on fire, steep a handkerchief or towel in water ami tie it around the head,covering mouth and nostrils. In that condition a person will be in a position to breathe freely and walk in the densest smoke to be met with in a burning building. fUisrdtoticmtis |tcatliu(}. EXPLAIN THE WORDS. Iu making explanations to children, or in teaching them to commit to memory, people do not always consider the importance of explaining accurately the meanings of words. This is indeed necessary by the imperfect acquaintance which most children have with their native language. When on unfumiliar sound strikes the ear, it can be interpreted only in accordance with the limited stock of words which the child possesses. The following examples will serve to illustrate this fact : A little girl in a sewing school, when the exercises were about to be closed with singing, was overheard to wonder if they were going to sing, "Bringing in the cheese," She meant "Bringing in the Sheaves;" but, while "cheese" was a familiar word to her, "sheaves" was a sound hitherto unknown and which she had interpreted according to . >-j__ ner Knowieuge. Another little girl in one of our public schools, being asked "What is the. sign of addition ?" answered with perfect gravity "red plush," The child had been told that the sign of addition was "read plus," and her imperfect knowledge of spelling, together with her ignorance of the word "plush," had led to misapprehension. A little boy, on returning from the menagerie, was asked by his father what animal he had seen. "Well," he answered, "I saw a lion, and a tiger, and an elephant, and a hyena, and a Polar bear, but I didn't see any cross-eyed bear." "What do you mean by a cross-eyed bear?" asked the father, in great astonishment. "Why," said the boy, don't you know the bear we sing about in Sundayschool, the consecrated cross-eyed bear?" In this case, the line of the familiar hymn, "The consecrated cross I'll bear," had been imperfectly caught, and then received from the child the only construction which his limited vocabulary enabled him to give it.? Christian at Work. The Mysteries of Life.?The great human duties are prayer and work. Prayer for every needed blessing, and work to realize it; prayer, as though God must do the whole, and work as though we must do it all ourselves. These are the two poles of the great galvanic battery. But who that waits to know the philosophy of answered prayer will ever pray? And whe hat waits to be sure there shall be no mistake, will ever work ? The hand that beckons us to glory waves us out of impenetrable clouds. We walk in a way we know not. We labor for our Master, but never know beforehand which shall prosper, whether this or that. We lay wise plans, and they miscarry. We commit gross blunders, and they are overruled for good. We run towards the light, and it goes out in darkness. We sink shivering into darkness, and find it light. We pray for joys, and they mildew into griefs. We accept griefs and they blossom into joys. Today the apple turns to ashes, and tomorrow the stones are bread. We exult in some prosperity, and get leanness with it. We murmur at some adversity and nna it big with blessing. We run toward open doors, and dash our head against a granite wall. We move against that wall at the call of duty, and it opens to let us through. The lines of our lives are all in God's hands. What shall befall us, we cannot tell. Only this we know, that God would shape us to himself, whether it would be by discipline of joy or the discipline of sorrow. To make us perfect as he is perfect, this is the end of all his revelations; while everything not helpful to this he hides away out of our light. Verily, "the secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are revealed belong unto us and our children forever, that we may do as the words of this law." Partial revelation, then, is the method and obedience to the end. An Old Time Southerner.?A correspondent in the Macon Telegraph, commenting upon the death of Judge John Jones Gresham, alludes to him as "a man of a day that will never come back." The old Southern gentleman was a rare type. There were brain workers then where there are bondholders now. Those men were leaders, modern men are experts. The old age tended to develop men of polish, the new era turns out the man of affairs. The father said in that "olden and golden time," "My son, make haste to be a man;" now they say, "My son, make haste to get rich." The old Southern civilization, says the correspondent, tended to make men sympathetic, cultured and generous; the strife of the present day tends to make them cold, narrow and selfish. We had statesmanship then, statecraft now. We had Toombs, Stevens and Hill. It is too true, alas, "that Ulysses is away on his wandering and there is none left in Ithaca strong enough to bend his bow." After all, it is the man who helps men who is missed when he is gone. To build a business is one thing; to build a man is another. Men pinch and starve, and press and drive, to build a business, and when the business is built there is no man to enjoy it.

Speed of Bicycles.?The Kolnische Zietung gives an account of some interesting experiments which were tried by Major Brix, the commander of the Militar-Turnanstalt in Berlin, in order to test the speed of bicycles as compared with that of horses, for the purpose of conveying dispatches to Berlin and Weissensee. The distances attempted were, from Strausberg to Weissensee, a distance of just under 24 miles, and from Eberswalbe to Weissensee, 32 miles. In the latter journey two cavalry officers rode against two infantry officers mounted 011 bicycles. The latter accomplished the journey in 215 and 210 minutes respectively, while the two lieutenants on horseback arrived at their destination seven minutes before the first bicycle rider. In the shorter distance the same result was obtained, the riders arriving a few minutes ahead of the bicyclists. In both cases the cavalry officers only rode at a gallop for the first fifteen minutes of the journey, while the bicyclists went at full speed all the way. fiST If you would have your life blameless, you must keep your thoughts pure. Sinful actions come of sinful thoughts and desires. The pleasurable contemplation of a sinful deed is usually followed by its commission. Sin begins in the heart; hence we should, keep the heart with all dilligence. As you would lock and bolt your doors against robbers, so close your heart against evil sugges tions. Sutler not the intruder to get a lougment, but meet him at the threshhold and by faith expel him from your sight. Direet your thoughts toward pure and holy subjects. Contemplate the character of the spotless Son of God. Take care of your thoughts and your actions will take care of themselves. B6T* Some young ladies were accosted during a walk, by a gypsy woman, who, for a small reward, very politely offered to show them their "future husbands' faces" in a pool of water that stood near. The ladies agreed, and hung over the pool searching for the promised faces, but could find nothing but the reflection of their own. "Surely you are mistaken, woman," exclaimed one of them, "for we see nothing but our own faces in the pool." "Very true, mem," replied the sagacious fortune teller, "but these will be your husbands' faces when you are married." SfiT There was once a colored woman who used to sit in one corner of the gallery on the Sabbath and single out some young man as he came in at the door, and pray for him till she saw him come forward to join the church. Then she dropped him and singled out another, and prayed for him in like manner till she witnessed a similar result. Then she dropped him and took a third, and so 011, till at the end of twenty years she had seen twenty young men join themselves to the Lord in perpetual covenant; young men with whom she had no personal acquaintance whatever. The fact was disclosed to her pastor 011 her death bed. 8^'To reach deep water at Astoria, Or., piers have been built out several hundred feet, and as business has crowded close to the warehouse and piers, several streets have been laid on stilts or piles, and blocks of stores and houses have been built over the water.

The paper was established in January, 1855, and will, therefore, enter on the thirty-eighth year of its publication with the issue ot JANUARY 6, 1892, and although our mechanical facilities for producing a firet class paper have always been adequate, we now claim that they are equal to those of any county newspaper in the United States. It will be the aim of the management in future, as in the past, to publish a hrst-class, high-toned, reliable family newspaper?one suited to the wants of the intelligent and progressive people of York and surrounding counties. The paper will continue to present the same handsome appearance that nas always been one of its leading attractions. It is now the largest county newspaper in South Carolina that is printed entirely at home. THE ENQUIRER having intelligent, trust1 * 1 -1-? 1 AAtn./v.t\ntlflflnfo worthy ana wiae-awaau sporiai in York and adjoining counties, but little transpires in which the people generally are interested, that is not promptly made known through its columns. Besides tnis, it shall continue to be our aim to watch carefully after everything that is calculated to make known to the outside world the business advantages and natural resources possessed by York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and when we say York county, we do not mean any particular section of it, or any particular class of people; but THE WHOLE COUNTY AND ALL THE PEOPLE. We shall, in addition to local affairs, give such attention to matters inside and outside the State, as is likely to be of interest to our readers ana keep them well informed as to what is transpiring in our own and other lands. While the local and general news departments of the paper will be carefully looked after, all the features which have given THE ENQUIRER a distinctive character from the first day of its publication will be maintained. From time to time it will contain short stories and serial stories from the best writers; every week a column of^ fun and humor; carefully selected and seasonal ble articles intended for the benefit the farmer and housewife; articles for the young people, the object of which is to assist them in becoming good men and women and ornaments to society; besides articles, by the publication of which, it is hoped, the men, women and children who read THE ENQUIRER will be better, happier and wiser. To recapitulate: It is our aim to print a hightoned, clean, newsy family paper; one that is RELIABLE, and one whose weekly visits will always be looked forward to with pleasure by its patrons.

We are pleased to antiounee that tliis year we are enabled, by an arrangement with the same company, to surpass all previous efforts. In fact we don't believe that greater indueements have ever been offered to club makers by any county newspaper in the South than we are prepared to offer, and we think the above assertion will be endorsed by the friends and readers of Thk IOnqciuku after reading our prospectus for 18'J2, which appears elsewhere in this issue.

They have only been manufacturing for the wholesale trade for*about four or live years, but the reputation of their work is fast spreading in every direction. They build as durable, as tine and as well finished work as is either made or sold in the South. At least that is what those who claim to know, say about it.
