??ttmiK0ii0 fejwrtment. BST Eli Perkins says: Tact is the right thing at the right time. When a young collegiate stepped on a young lady's foot in a Harvard street car the beautiful girl was offended, but when that collegiate bowed sweetly and said modestly: "Beg ten thousand pardons, Miss; your foot is so small I could'nt see it!" Why, she could have kissed ?him. How different was it with Reuben Bradshaw, who had never been off of the old Litchfield farm. One day he met an old fiazne, Lucy Bradbury, in Hartford. He had not seen her 15 years. "Well," said Reuben, taking Lucy warmly by the hand, "you are still Lucy Bradbury, are you ?" "Yes." she replied, "still Lucy Bradbury." "It isn't your fault, I know," he rejoined, meaning to say something complimentary.

Ever so glad to have met you." She Tied Her Dog.?In a parlor-car on an eastern train sat a richly dressed young woman, tenderly holding a very small poodle. "Madam," said the conductor, as he punch: ed her ticket, "I am very sorry, but you cannot have your dog in this car. It's against the rules." "I shall hold him in my lap all the way," she replied, "and he will disturb no one." "That makes no difference," said the conductor ; "I couldn't allow my own dog here Dogs must ride in the baggage car. I'll fasten him all right for you? "Don't vou touch my dog, sir," said the young woman, excitedly; "I will trust him to no one I" and. with indignant tread she marched to the baggage car, tied her dog, and returned. About fifty miles further on, when the conductor came along again, she asked him ; "Will you tell me if my dog is all right ?' "I am very sorry," said the conductor politely, "but you tied him to a trunk, and he was thrown off with it at the last station." L . A Drummer's Story.?This is the story the drummer tells: A hotel-keeper with a devoted wife, once bethought himself that he ought to do something out of the ordinary in recognition of her usefulness. Said he to himself, "Sarah has been a good wife tc me. She is bard working and faithful, and I owe a goodly portion of my fortune to hei careful management. I feel that I want tc please her. I shall do something handsome for her this time. See if I don't." When he returned, "Sarah," said he, beamingly, "I thought I'd do something tc please you. You are a deserving wife and have been so good and patient that I wanted to express my appreciation. So I've gone to the expense of buying me a new hat, Aren't you pleased with my appearance in it?" "But the story drops there, and Sarah's sentiments will never be known. This hotel man must certainly have lived "Long aim. loner aero." O" 7 O - 9oF"I intended to tell Jane to bring a fresh bucket of water," said the wife oi Professor Nottlehead, looking up from her sewing, "You doubtless mean a bucket oi r fresh water," rejoined the husband. I wish you would pay some little attention to rhetoric; your mistakes are embarrassing." Some months later the professor said: "My dear, that picture would look to advantage if you were to hang it over the clock." "Ah!" she replied; "you doubtles mean if I were to hang it above the clock. If I were to hang it over the clock we couldn't tell what time it is. I wish you would pay some attention to rhetoric; your mistakes are embarrassing." Practice What You Preach.?The Michigan Advocate tells of a prominent ?*?minister, who, when invited to a colored congregation, took occasion to give them some good wholesome doctrine on the moralties of life. In the closing prayer the colored preacher got even with him in the following fashion : "O Lord, bless the brother that preached to us tonight. He's brought us the gospel about good livin'. He's done told us we mus't quit lyin, and quit stealin' and quit gettin' drunk ; and he's told us we must pay our debts, and keep our word A T a*./? Klooo Kim Trill TVAWPr flllf? gUUU.

A ^>w^/guestT*ushed to the cashier's desk. He had ^ ju8t tefi minutes in which to pay his bill, reach fhe depot and board his train. "Great Scott P' he exclaimed: "I've forgotten something. Here, boy, run to my room, B 48, and see if I have left my toothbrush and sponge, Hurry! I've only five minutes now !" The boy hurried. He returned in four minutes out of breath. "Yes, sir," he panted ; you left them there." Had Him There.?A rather seedy-looking individual, one of the large army who live on their wits, was working the smaller towns of the Fort Worth and Denver city railways as a phrenologist, and was waiting at the depot for his train to come. He was walking up and down the platform with hia plaster-cast bead in a bag under his arm. A young farmer who had been making fun of him said, sotto voce, "I don't have to make my living by carrying a plaster head under my arm." "No," replied the seedy phrenologist ; "you carry your plaster head on your shoulders." 18^ One of tersest and best of the election stories is related by Chairman Carter, of the Republican National committee. "It was getting late in the evening of election day," he said, "and we were anxious to hear something definite from the most important districts of Indiana. I telegraphed over my signature to the leader of the district: 'I have no news from you. Send me an hundred lines or so on the actual state of affairs.' In about an hour I got his reply. It read: 'We have all gone tp h?1 out here, and it don't take any hundred lines to tell it, either.'" t6T A man of 60, who had long made a r practice of changing.his doctors on the slighest provocation, not long ago called in a young physician who had gained a considerable reputation. He was telling this doctor what he thought was the trouble with him, when the doctor ventured to disagree with his diagnosis. "I beg your pardon said the patient, in a haughty way, "it isn't for a young physician like you to disagree with an old experienced invalid like me ?" And he went out to seek another physician. JSF* "Pray, sir, of what profession are you ?" said Mr. Edwin James to a witness, who had come to prove a fact, and who was not deemed a very reputable gentleman. "Sir, I am a shoemaker and wine merchant." "A wjp>*, sir?" said the learned Queen's cgpefol. "A wine merchant and shoe^maker." It is unusual in England to com-?bine two such trades. "Then," said Mr. James, "I may describe you as a sherry cobbler !" Ex-Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, has a new joke. It runs like this: Pat was about to die. The priest had been called and had administered the last services. Then he said : "Pat is there anything else you desire?" "Yes," said Pat. "I want to be buried in a Third party graveyard." "Why, Pat," said the priest, "why is that ?" "Well, your riverence," says Pat, "a Third party graveyard is the last place the divil would Jook for a Democrat." ' about ten minutes, ne stoppea una soner turned his head around slow like to see if : the bag was still there. It was. Then he ' started again, and of all the running I ever ' saw that squirrel did it. He moved about among the branches like a streak of lightning. Finally out of breath, he stopped again and the expression he wore on his face seemed to indicate that he was saying to himself "well, whatever you are you are not in it now. I guess I've got you." But when he turned his head around and ! saw that the bag and string were right there, he fainted dead away." The Rod and the Child.?"Spare the . rod and spoil the child, is the best idea, I you," said Judge Thomas to a New York ' Sun man. Don't talk to me about persuading and reasoning with children. The ( only thing is implicit obedience, and the . sooner you exact it, the better for yqu and the child too. Punish without temper, though. Never show your anger to your child. That's ' the trouble with most parents. They get i into a passion themselves when they whip, ; and the child is quick to notice it, and soon begins to resent it, and cherish it as a wrong. 1 Do your whipping more in sorrow than ? anger. Unless you can do it in this way ' 1 you had better not try it at all. The worst whippings I ever got in my life were by i my mother, who did it with tears in her i eyes at my suffering, and a prayer after it > which took all the resentment out my heart 1 , and made me feel that she was the greater i sufferer. Oh! this latter day idea of not i whipping children in the supremest rot, and i is doing great harm. If whipping can be ; i avoided, all right; but if nothing else will i , do, lay it on with slipper or switch. The i i thing is to make them mind. Begin the 1 business early in life too, for the longer it is i put off the harder the task will become. ' What does a child know about the reason of ' ; things? Why attempt to reason with a j little thing which is simply a bundle of no- ' tions, appetites and impulses, which must, 1 , for its own good, be restrained and directed ? ' f Obedience is the prime education. I tell < you more than three-fourths of all the ugly i f lawlessness and crime which now afflicts this country comes from a lack of control in the 1 i family circle. The disobedient, self-willed, < indulged child is sure to give unhappiness 1 and trouble to his parents, and, after leaving i i them, to violate the laws of this country. No respect for authority in a family circle means no respect for the governing powers , of the State. This is all just as true as preaching." | ? ' Some Timely Words.?Compared with pneumonia, the cholera is not a very great source of danger, writes an old physician. ' , It is safe to say that more than a hundred peo, pie die of the former where one dies of the 1 latter, the world over. To have the cholera, 1 you must eat or drink something containing a cholera seed. The disease must be regu- j larly planted in you. Eat' hot food, boil ' your drinking water, disinfect the rooms you 1 live in, and the cholera can't hurt you. , More than this, if your stomach is in a heal- 1 thy condition, not one cholera germ in a ( million when taken into it will sprout and ! i grow. | Everybody seems to be shouting about the : cholera, when the danger of death from a \ severe cold is a hundred fold greater. To take pneumonia you have only to get into a violent state of perspiration, and then sit for ten minutes in a draft. A man runs, or digs, gets hot, and sits down to rest. Up he jumps and raises a window. And then a 1 cool breeze just kills him. Very likely he is fool enough to sit with his back to a window 1 partially raised. 1 | It makes one tired think how history repeats itself in the matter of fool killing. 1 ( There was Judge , of New York, a man \ of large intelligence. Ore night last De, cember he played billiards at his club until he was in a profuse state of perspiration, ' walked three blocks to his home in the 1 teeth of the wind, and died in four days. 1 There are thousands of just such cases every , year. ' Now then, stop fretting over the cholera I for a little while, and try to cultivate whole- ] some dread of cold. Any cold can be cured, ' even one whose tendency is to pneumonia, ( if taken in time. Begin to fight it early. ? Don't give it more than six to twelve hours headway. Put on an overcoat. Kindle up 1 a big fire. Goto bed. Remember! A cold is more to be feared than cholera ! , t , i A Terrible Death Punishment.?In England, during the reign of Henry VIII 1 the public mind became greatly excited through several cases of poisoning, and parliament enacted a law making boiling to ; death the penalty. This law was on the ' statue books about sixteen years. It was A ? ^ in n no cn ' maue retroactive, au ua iu tun.*; m ? . that chiefly prompted its enactment?that , of Richard Rosse, otherwise Coke, the J Bishop of Rochester's cook, who jfoisoued ., seventeen persons, two of whom died. Coke was boiled at Rochester. The infliction was attended with peculiar cruelty, as j Coke was put into a cauldron of cold water and gradually cooked to death. ! A few years later, in March, 1542, a young ' woman named Margaret Davy was punished in a similar way on conviction of poisoning. The public were not satisfied as to 1 her guilt, and, notwithstanding the compar- ' atively slow travel of news in those days,I1 the story of Margaret Davy's trial andI punishment soon spread through the king-: dom and aroused uuiversal horror. Boiling to death remained on the statute books, , however, as long as Henry reigned, perhaps because the monarch himself had a dread of being poisoned. Immediately af- j ter his death parliament repealed the law.? ! Pittsburg Leader.

Bi Believing it is our duty to let the light g there may be on us shine, I wish to avail w myself of the columns of The Cultivator, the ^ best Southern agricultural paper, in delivering to my brother farmers what I believe to be a valuable message. Planters are all more or less familiar with ca the improved varieties of cotton that have ? been long in general use. The Peterkin, ^ the Welborn's Pet, the Herlong, etc., have X been tried in nearly every community and efl have gained more or less popularity. One X of the latest claimants in this section is "the pc "Gold Dust." And I firmly believe that it j works an advance over all other varieties as he great, if not greater, than has ever been g made at one bound by any cotton. I believe on that it is the best cotton ever planted. j Only one year ago my attention was first jg called to this cotton in such a way as to induce me to investigate it. Having seen a .fl letter from the manager of the South Carolina experiment station ut Columbia, in X which he gave his experience with this cot- e(^ ton, I wrote him. He replied very fully, de- X scribing his experiment and conclusions and fe advising me, if able to do so, to buy seed for g my whole crop. He said that it was "by far sa the best cotton he had ever seen." On one- tr half acre only half manured, he made a good g bale. This and all his other varieties came yC up late in June, and the Gold Dust had, when (j] the frost come October 8th, matured every ? boll; while the other varieties were caught ^ with about one-half their crop unmade. I further found that every man that had ever tried the Gold Dust, had for it only . praise of the highest kind. So, though I ^lI had never seen a stalk of it, nor a man who 8 had, I decided to buy enough seed to plant ? my whole crop. "A rash venture," do you ba say ? I reasoned that if it was only half as mi good as its friends said, I would make twice 1 as much as I had ever done with the Peter- so kin or the Pet,..and would doubtless find pi ready sale for my seed at a good price. To j secure the best, I bought seed two and three sp years old, planted separate from any other sp cotton. I When my cotton began to put on forms, it re attracted attention. Neighbors from far and be near came to see it, and every one said that | he had never seen anything like it. The j limbs came out right at the ground, grew quite long and averaged at least one for every inch of height of stalk. The forms were ve- * ry closely crowded on every limb and all the er way from stalk to end of limb. Stalks three ar feet high with 200 to 300 forms were com- ' mou enough. as When the bolls began to near maturity, "a every one was struck with their great size. B Mr. Gaillard compared it in this respect ur with his other varieties, and found that ra while the others took about 100 bolls to make g a pound, 100 bolls of Gold Dust gave the a unprecedented yield of one pound ten ounces, th How about the yield of lint? The seed g are larce and the lint not longer than usual, ftv O " " w so one would hardly expect an unusual an yield. From thirty-five to forty per cent, is about what is claimed for it; yet I see from * all quarters much better returns than that. P One report gives forty-four. The fine body and longness of lint is ano- cu ther valuable feature. I sold it to the most 8 experienced buyer in Sumter, one of the best *? judges in this State, and he said that it had the best body he had ever seen on any cotton. All I have sold has brought the top of 8 the market. The Gold Dust will make a in crop in three or four weeks less time than au any other I know anything about. sti These, then, are the points in which the jg Gold Dust has proved its superiority to all Ha others: Quickness of growth ; sureness of "0 crop ; earliness ; number and length of limb; an number and size of bolls; ease in picking; jj turn out at the gin; fineness and tough- W( ness of lint; ability to stand bad weather ; do large yield per acre. ej, Mayesville, S.

Ground coffee may sometimes * be necessary in the exigencies of chance and Pe change, but it is a solecism, and is to be tol- ce erated only when it cannot be helped. Su For a really good cup of coffee buy the ber- 8 ries whole and see that they are properly browned. It is better to buy them in the tw roasted state, because the green berries, if R' kept long in stock, lose their strength. When sc' the coffee is be made grind just enough for I one pot of coffee. Usually a small table- ?a: spoonful is a fair allowance for each coffee wi cup of the beverage. Put the ground coffee in a bowl and set it upon the back of the yo stove, where it will get very hot without f burning. Pour the necessury amount of hot th water in the coffee pot and set it on the stove no until it actually bubbles. do While the water is actually dancing with tu the heat and the steam is pouring out of the j coffee pot stir in the coffee, which by this g0 time has become very hot on the back of the 0f 3tove. Cover closely and let simmer ten m( minutes. jn The whole process is very simple and requires no more time than in making it in * any other way. The virtue lies in knowing lV1 how. The old-fashioned way of boiling coffee J.01 twenty minutes makes coffee which has been ground black and unpleasant alike to sight 8 and taste. There are patent coffee-pots ex which have special ways of preparing the au coffee by filtering. Many of these are very good, and all of them are labor-saving. But (ir there is none whose results will be found to j # be any better than that of the process just i M described for making a model cup of coffee. | is, Paragraphs About Hogs.?If our south-1 th ern planters could only make up their minds! fe' to eat less pork and to make what they do | f consume, and to make it out of grains grown I sic at home, it would be better for us all. Let | br us hope that the lessons of the pork market j ab Df to-day will be fraught with the best ofj\y< wisdom to all our people. ei< One of the strangest conditions ever known g in the hog market is seen in the fact that ex Southern hogs are now being shipped North f01 for slaughter. The packers of Cincinnati te] have bought every bog that could be easily m. found on the markets in Tennessee. This j jJa looks indeed like "carrying coals to New j Castle;" but it is a sign of better times to j ? the people of Tennessee. m' The meat question for the coming year is jce going to be a serious one for many of our} cr; Knv?r?

It is agreeable to the taste, needs but small doses, and does not interfere with digestion or any of the regular organic functions. As an emergency medicine, every household should be provided with Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "Having used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my family for many years, I can confidently recommend it for all the complaints it is claimed to cure.

DURING the past two years we have sold more than one hundred sowing machines. To the best of our knowledge and belief every one of these machines are giving satisfaction. The person who buys a machine from us does not have to pay for the services and expenses of a manager of agencies, general agents, traveling salesmen, office rent, clerk hire, etc., but gets a machine just as good in every particular as those sold through agents, shipped direct from the factory to the purchaser at a price that leaves all of the extra expenses off. Every machine we sell is guaranteed for five years, and if it is not satisfactory after TWENTY days' trial, it can he returned to the manufacturers and they will pay the freight both ways, and every cent paid, including postage, will be refunded. If you want to save from $20 to $.15 you should buy your machine, if you need one, from Thk Enquirer. We sell four different styles. We could print two columns or more of testimonials from those who have bought machines of us, but the following will show what our friends think of our "cheap" machines: Hornsboro, S. C., April 11, 1892. Mr. Li. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir? I received Machine all right the 2nd day of February.

' "In Memphis," said Charles F. Elmire, of 1 Union City, Tenn., "there is a little park called Court Square, situated in the center of the city. The parkkeeper told me that there were over 500 squirrels that made their , nests in the big shady trees. They afford boundless amusement to the children and to the weary foot travelers who stop in the park to rest. One day last week I bought a bag of peanuts, and while I sat down on one ! of the seats eating them, the squirrels gathered around me like blackbirds would flock to ( a cornfield immediately after planting time. , 1 I concluded to try an experiment. I blew up the paper bag, tied a string around it about six inches long and to the other end ' 1 fastened a 'goober' and threw it on the ground. There was an old bobtailed squir' rel?the father of the flock?that tackled it. , ! He picked up the 'goober' between his paws ( 1 and started to open the shell when he dis' covered that there was a string tied to it. 1 Then he began to run, still holding the nut 1 between his teeth. He jumped off about fifty 1 feet and turned his head around to see if , the bag and string were still behind. They ' ' were. Well, sir, you should have witnessed the actions of that squirrel after he saw that the bag still pursued him. Up a tree he 1 went; down one side and up another, the > way he went. After he had chased himself
