The next thing of importance is & constant supply of fresh water. Nothing ? is better than a running brook, but if it ' ? cannot be had, the supply in the drink i ing vessels should be replemshed several j | times a day during the heat of the season, j An admirable plan of drinking fountain : is one thai can be made and used by | ! every farmer, and consists of an old bsk : ing pan under a box, with one end pro I truding. The drinking dish, of what- j ; ever form or miterial, should be fre quently wa?4ed, preferably with toiling water, aiid a drop of carbolic acid, or a little piecc of copperas be added to the water. Stagnant pool;, especially of j j manure water in the barnyarJ, should [ ' never be tolerated, especially where hens could get acces? to it, as whan thirsty ! the foolish hen will take a drink out of \ ! the stinking pool as readily as out of the . purest running brook or ooo'.eit spriag. | During the summer we should not be | : very lavish with the grain.

Make some new nests in new ! j piiCes from time to time, and renew the ; litter in the old ones often. Gather the j i eggs regularly every afternoon. CatchQ ! the rats, skunks and weaaels. Cure i i sciiy legs by dipping them in Kerosene j oil. That is about all there is to it. : Only a word needs to bu added about ? the breed. . Any good breed, under such condi- ' tions, will or should giv^ you good re- j s ilts. But seme are fcfetter an others. The Leghorns, either white or brown, ' i will nil the egg basket. The Brahmas i are fair layers, and give you a larfce, plump table fowl beside?. Crosses of the twof-e excellent. Plymouth Rocks make a good fowl, and you can cross them with any other pure breed, espe cially the Leghorns, for good remits. I like my fowls to be all uniform, conse quently prefer a single^ pure breed, and none has ever suited me batter as a farm fowl than the Black Ladgahan. Set the hens as fast at they wish to set in- spring. Make the dests on the ground, in barrels, boxes) or nooks, etc., srnere the bi.vl will be bidden and un disturbed. Do not fus^ much with the setting' hens. Aftey/the chicks are hatched, put them /vith the hen in a coop for a few days; then, if possible, set them free. To break up the setting hen there is no better way than to let her set a week or' so, then give her a, few chicks to take care of. Feed her: [ well and she will soon be in laying con | ditioa again, and all the better fbc the i rest and change enjoyed for a few weeks, i This larm management of poultry, and ! it will seldom fail to be profitable.-?

Ventilate your cellar into yoar kitcljea chimney or one in which a fire is kept. Hen3 must be proridsd with warm shelter if they lay eggs during the win ter. Eggs are easily chilled, and when thoroughly chilled are uafit for hatch ing. s Using, miik to make spft feed for poultry wilt be' found much better thaa water. " Bias should b-3 thoroughly cleinad and scrubbed before new grtdn is stored in them. If eggs are to be kept any time they should be waiiie l cleia ai so ja a* they are gat he be i. Much loss in egg3 is often occasional by allowing the nsis to liy outside the poultry house. O.ie advantage in feeling tha scraps Iroin the table to poultry is that it sup plies them with a variety. Wnea fowls purchased for breeding are brought to the yards, keep the u separate from the other poultry for two or three days. While the that are held back for higher price ? may sell to better ad vantage later on, do uot lose sight of the fact that every day causes a loss of weight. All crops are composed largely of water, and a portion of this water is constantly evaporating. This is made apparent by the fact that old seed is drier than that which is new. Special fertilizers for potatoes have given wonderful yields on potatoes this season. Sandy soils have been found capable of giving largo yields when the seed is properly cut aad special fertilizers "ttseJ. It has also bseat noticed that by the use of fertilizjrs there is less rot and disease compared with potatoes where barnyard manure has been applied .

".Since Co lumbus first looked upon San Salvador, the earth has bat one emotion of triumph left for her testowai. and that she reserves for him who shall firrt >irink ir->2 1 the fountains of the White Nile un ler the snow fields of KiJiina-Njaro." But^ the discovery of the sources ot the Nile bjrmost pe>p?e was con sidered an imposribility. The luularias, the wjid beast.-, tlie savage?, tn^ unsalable steepr, the vast distances, stoopeii ail rhe ex peditions for ages ' An intelligent native said to Sir Samuel W. Baker and wife as they were ?Tia-Shelr way to accomplish that m which others had failed: "Give up tha mad scheme of the Niie , source. How would it be possible for a lady , young and delicate to endure what would *? 11 the strongest man ? (Jive it up*' But tie work went on until Speke an.; Grant and Baker found the two Likes waico are the source of what was call*! the White Nile,* undj.aptized these two lak?s with the names ??f Victoria and Aibert. 1 hese two lakes, : filled by great raiufalls and :?y accumulated ! ?jjows from the mountains, pour their j water?, laden. with agricultural wealth such as blesses no other river, on down over the cataracts, on betwaeu fijowning mountains, on between cities living and cities dead, on for four thousand miles and through a con tinent. But the White Niie wou.d do little for Egypt if tins were all. it would keep its banks and Egypt woul d remain a d^-sert. But from Abyssinia there comes what is called the Blue JS" ile, which, though dry or nearly dry half the year, under tremendous rains about the middle of June rises to great momentum, and this Blue Nile dashes with sudden influx into the White Nile, which in ccnseqnence rises thirty feet an l their- com bined waters inundate Egypt with a rich soi! whictscirops on all the fields and gardens as it ia conducted by ditches and sluices and canals every whither. The greatest damage that ever came to Egypt came by the drying up of the River Nde, and the greatest blessing by its health ful and abundant flow. The famine in Jo seph's time came from the lack of sufficient inundation from the Nile. Not enough Nile is drought; too much Nile is freshet and plague. The rivers of the earth are ,-tfte mothers of its prosperity. If by sotfia con vulsion of nature the, Mississippi should be taken from North America, or the Amazon from South America, or the Danube from Europe, or the Yenisei from Asia*? what hemispheric calamity ! Still, there are other rivers that could lertiliz-? an I save these countries. As we start where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean Sea, we behold a won derful fulfillment of prophecy. The Nile in very ancient times used to have seven mouths. As the great river approached the sea at seven different places. Isaiah prophe sied, "The Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea and shall smite it in the seven streams.'' The tact is they are all destroyed but two, ar.d Herodotus said these two remaining are artificial. ITp tfc ?i Nile we shall go; part of the way by Egyptian rail train ani then by boat, and we snail understand way the Bible gives such prominence to thisriver, which is toe largest river of all the earth with one exception. F at before we board the train we must take a look at Alexandria It was founded by Alexander the Great, and was once t ae New York, the Paris, the London of tin world. Temp.'es, palac-js. fountains, gar dens, pillared and efflorescent with all archi tectural and Eflenic grandeur and sweetness. Apollos, the eloquent, whom in the New Testament times some people tried to make a rival to St. Paul, lived her.?. Here Mark, the author of the second book of the New Testament, expired under Nero's anathema. From here the ship sailed that left Paul and the crew struggling in the breakers of Melita. Pompey's pillar is here, about one hundred feet high, its base surrounded by so much filth and squalor I was glad to escape into an air that wis breathable. ^But Alexandria, fascinating for this or that thing, according to the t tste of tha vis itor, \w a* to me\most entertaining because it bad bean the Site of the greatest library that tha world > ever saw, considering the fact that the ant of printing had not been invented, hundred thousand volumes and all the work of a slow pen. But down it all went un fer the torch of beseijers. Built again and destroyed a^aio. Built again, but the Arabs came along for its final demolition ami the four thousand baths of the city were heated with those volumes, tha fuel lasting six month?, and were ever fires kindled at such fearful cost? What holocausts of the world's literature! What, martyrdom of books' How many of them have gone down under the r.igeof nations. Only one book ins be -a able to withstand the bombardmerit.au'* t:r>t lias goue through without smell of fire on its lids. f\c sword or spear or musket for its defense. An un arms! New Testament. An unarmed Old Testamerft. Yet invulnerable an 1 tri nmphant. There must b* something super natural about it. Conqueror of books! Monarch of books! Ad the books of all the ages in all the libraries outshone by this one book which you an I I carry to church in a pocket. So methought amid the ashes of Alexandrian libraries-. But all aboard th > Egyptian rr.i! train going up the bani;s of tha Nite! Lookout of the window and see those camels kneeling for the imposition o. their load. Anl I, think we might takdfcfrom them a lesson, and, instead of trying to stand upright in our own strength. become conscious of our .weakness and noad oi divin * help before we take upon us the heavy duties or' the year or the week or the day, a. id so kn?el for the burden. We meet procesdons of men an l beasts on the way troui their day's work, but alas, for thj i.o.nes to which the poor inhabitants are going, for the most part hovels of mud. But rhrre is something in the scene that thorougnly enlists u=. It is the novelty of wretchedness and a scene of picturesque rags. For thousands o* years this land aas beea uaJer a very damnation to taxes. Nothing but Christian civilization will roll back the influences which arj "spoiling the Egyptians " There are gar dens ani palaces, but they b Mo ng to the rulers. This ride along the Nile is one of the moat solemn and. impressive rides of all my life time, and ou> emotions deep ?n id as the cur tains of the lilght fall upon all surround ings. .But we shall not be satisfied until we can take a ship and pass right out upon these wondrous waters an 1 bitwem the banks crowned with the story of empires. According to the lead pencil mark in my Bible it was Thanksgiving day morning. November 2V>, IS 59, tuat with, my family and friends we stepped aboard the steamer on the Niie. The ^lohammedaa call to prayers had been Ibuuded bv the priests of that religion, the Muezzins, from the four hundred mosques of Cairo as the cry went ouS: k*God is great. L bear witness that, there is no God but God. I bear witness that Mohammed is the apostle of < rod. Come to praverst Come to salvation. God is great. Jjjere'is no other but God. Prayers are bet ter than sleep.7' Thesky and city and palm groves and river shipping were bashed m the light. It was not much of a craTc taat we tx>arae3. it would not be hailed on any of c*rr rivers with any rapture of admiration. It fortu nately had but lictle speed, for twici we ran aground and the sailors jumped into the vrater and on their shoulders pushed her out. But What yacht of gayest sportsman, wha' deck of swiftest ocean queen could give sudi thrill of rapture as a sail-on the Nile? The pyramids in sight, the remains of cities that are now only a name, the villages throngei * with population. Both banks crowded with historical deeds of forty or sixtr centuries Oh, what a book the Bible is when read on the Nile!

"^Sboes are now taken off in reverence to sacred places. Children carried astride the mother's shoalder as in Hagar's time. Wo men with profusion of jewelry as when Re becca was affianced. Lentils shelled into the pottage, as whan Esau sold his birthright to git such a dish. The same habits of saluta tion as when Joseph and his brethren fell on each other's necks. Courts of law held un der big trees as in olden times. People mak ing bricks without straw, compelled by circumstances to use stubble ins tea/ j of straw. Flying over or standing on the banks as in Scripture <lays are flamingoes, ospreys, eagies, pelican?, herons, cuckoos and bull finches. On all sides of this river sepuichers. Villages of sepuichers. Cities of sepuichers. Nations of seyuichers. And one is tempted to call it an empire of tombs. I never siw such a place as Egypt is for grave?. An i no w we undfrstaod'the complaining sarcasm of the Israelites when they were on thj way from Egypt to C&naan, "Because there are no graves in Egypt hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness."

Thebes mighty and dominant five hundred years. Then she went ; down in fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy concerning the City of No, which was another name for Thebes: "f will execute judgment ?. iu No. I will cut off the multitudes of No." Jeremiah also prophesied. '"Thus saitb the : Lord, I will punish the multitudes of No." Ibis city of Thebes and all the other dead ! cities ot Egypt iterate and reiterate the 1 veracity of the Scriptures, telling the fcame story which Moses and the prophets told. Have you noticed how Goi kept back these ' archaeological confirmations ot the Bible un I til our time, when the air is full of unbelief about the truthfulness of the dear old book ? . He waited uutil the printing press had been set up in its perfected shape, and the subma : rir.e cable was laid, and the world was in telligent enough to appreciate the testimony, and then He resurrected the dead cities of ; the earth, and commanded them, saying: "Open your long sealed lips and speak! Memphis and Thebes is the Bible true?'* ??Truer' responds Memphis and Thebes, i "Babylon, is" the Book of Daniel true!-'" ' "Truer' resDonds Babvlon "Ruins of Pa! i estine and Syria, is tne New Testament truer" "True!" respond the ruins all the way from Joppa to the Dead S?a and from ' Jerusalem to Damascus. W hat a mercy that this testimony of the dead cities should come a' a time when the Bible is especially assaue.'. And this work i will go on until the veracity of the Scrip | tures will be as certain to all sensible men and women as that two and two makes four, as that an isosceles triangle is one which has two of its sides equal, as that the diameter : of a circle is a line drawn through the centra and terminated by the circumference, as certain as any mathematical demonstration. Those ancient cities lacked nothing but i good morals. Dissipation and sin slew them, and unless dissipation and sin arc? halted, they will some day slay our modern cities, and ieave our palaces ot merchandise au 1 I our galleries of art and our city hall as flat, in the dust as we found Memphis on th<- after noon of that Thanksgiving day. And if the cities go down, the nation will go down. I "Ob," you say. "tiiat is impossible; we have j stood so long? yea, over a hundred years as a nation." Why, what ? of that? Thebes j stood five hrin Ired years. Mem p. lis stood a thousand years. God does not forget. One ; uay with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one da}*. Rum and debauchery and bad politics are ; more rapidly working the destruction of our ; American cities that sin of anv kind and all ; kinds worked for the destruction of the j-ities of Africa, once so mighty and now so pros j trate. But their gods were idols, and could I do nothing except for debasement. Our God made the heavens and sent His Son redeem the nations. And pur. cities will noc go down, and our nations will not perish be muse thn gospel is going to triumph. For ward! all schools and colleges an 1 churcues! Forward! all reformatory and missionary organizations. F .rward! all the influences marshaled to blest, thu world. Let our mod ern European and American cities listen to the voice of those ancient cities resurrected, and by hammer and chisel and crowbar foe compelled to speak. i I notice the voice of those ancient cities is hoarse from the exposure of forty centuries ' and they accentuate slowly with lip^ that, were palsied for ages, but all together those cities along the Nile intone these words: !

C. j Mr. W. J. Swink, Secretarrind Treasu- j , rc-r, Concord. N. C. : | Dkar Sir? 1 enclose check for $750, i Peabody money, to be applied to your j i city public schools. ^ ou will bear in j ; mind that this money cannot bj used for : any other purpose thau the payment of i teachers for both races. The intention : | of the Peabody trustees is to help such j i corn mun. ties as will help themselves and | wHl so conduct the schools as to be most j ' helpful to the general public school sys- ! ! tern. . j In some communities in which annual ! taxes are levied to supplement the ' gen j era I school fund I have not found such j support to the general public school svs ! tem al I thought there ought to be in the i use of the State list text-books. '1 his, I i ; think. is an im port utitj. mat er. lhe j j State li>t books are are non- sectional, 1 fair to the South, ;uh! as good as any j j books published As far as they liuct j the want} of the city schools 1 think , they ought to be usid; in fact that is j what the law contemplates. 1 he city j boards oijg'nt to add su<h other books as j the addinonal length of school and the additional studies desired indicate to be necessarv. I take it. * j f course, that your board will add the high school course. | There is a disposition on the part of i publishing houses to press -into the < schools of the South books that are en tirely untit for use by Southern people j fYou'inav set it down as a ftct that it is , impossible, in the vcry_natuje oftlie case, i for a Northern man to write a l nited j States history that will be fair to the ! ?outh. Eveu if he were disposed to write an impartial history the probability is thas he would be ignorant of the fac's or would lay less stress upon them than is due. As an instance, I refer to Eggle ston's history, which has not in it even a reference to* the Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence, nor to the battle of Kiug's Mountain, which Jefferson said : was the turning point of the Revolution- j ary war. and it has not even a copy of" the general Declaration of Indepcnd- i i ence. This is on'ty a sp^jimeu of the sins of omission that Northern authorities are guilty of iu reference to tl ??. South. You will" find the same thing running through their geographies, readers and all OTner common school books. The houses that publish these books not uo frequently secure their introduction by uufair argument and other unfair means, as well as by pleadiug specially their fine mechanical execution, etc. Some yea's ago, when I first- came nito the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, I negotiated for the revision of Holmes' readers, and one request that 1 especially made was that the bcoks should be thoroughly non-sectional and [ should contain in tho selection of the , matter as much recognition of the South ; as to its products, character, resources, etc., as of the North. Upon examina tion I think you will find that this re quest was complied with, aud besides, that the books are thoroughly well graded aud adapted to our schools. The proof sheets passed under myf.vn eye. As to Maury's geographies, they certainly have no equal in this "conn try. Holmes' his-?! : tory contains more facts of United States ; history tlinp can be found in any book in j the same compatt aud the same price, and i it tells the fctuth iu a fair and impartial i manner, and is well written. For higher I classes I think Stephens' history cannot be excelled. Sanford's arithmetics arc the product of a Southern man, and are I most excetreut books : indeed ij^ may be : said that ail the books on the State list are excellent. Upon examination I think you will find that the prices at which the State list books are to be sold to the chil j dreu are low, and that the business ar : rangements by which the Looks can be ! obtained from oue depository by mer- j i chants all over the State and at reasonable ; discounts to them, are all that can 1)3 de- | ! sired. I send you a marked copy of the j school law for information ou these j points. I would not write so 'much * at length ! on this but for the fact thit when the citv schools and country schools use the ! same books there is harmony, much less | confusion, and the public schools inter I ests are thereby better advanced. I do : not know who your superintendent will be; if I did I would write him ^fcthg same strain. This is an official lenfr to you as secretary.^ the board. Do me | the kindness to lay it before them and ? your superintendent when he is elected. Trusting that your schools will meet ; with abundant success, I am, very trulv, * S. M.

Dr. Oh mauu Duniesnil has made an important discovery. He is a gre it cigarette smok er, and had often noticei shim 11 brown holes in the paper surrounding tho weed. A few days ago he decided to investi gate. He found that the holes were made by a little insect. To a Sun cor respondent he SiM, ;u? he displayed a number of the bugs under a microscope: "This singular bug is what we call a coleopterous insect. There are thousands of this family, but those I have under the glass and iu yonder box are the only to bacco chejvers I know of. This insect is very small, as you see. It crawls into a box of cigarettes, bores a hole through the rice paper, lays an egg. and then es capes. The larva develope? into-H worm, and, for the want of something better, it eats tobacco. 'You will notice that the mother insect always commences het op eration near the end of the cigarette. The worm knows nothing except eating and escaping, and he starts for the end of the cigarette. Iu due course of time he be comes an insect, but does not lose his appetite." "WhaHio you think of a cigarette that has entertained one of these pugs, Doctor?''

While every other man in Maine is aux ious to secure an office of some kind, the Postmaster at East Turner is doing his ! best to get relieved of his official respori | sibilities, but he seems unable to work tie trick. The office is small, the salary smaller, and the Postmaster thinks it j hardly worth hfs'wuile to continue ns a servant of Uncle Sam, so a feiv months j ago he iecided to resign. He offered to recommend several of his friends, lut none of them wanted it. No reply came from Washington regarding his resigna tion, and of course he had to run the of fice until the matter was settled in one way or the other. A second notice of ] resignation was sent in, but s ill no reply ! came from he department. Mr Wana maker evidently beiug satisfied with his , servant.
