A home corporation doing' business at home for the interest at home. **' j To those who' fiot care to sell their seed for ea#h we are , offering a strictly high oracle meal in exchange. Our rate of ! exchange at the mill is 1500 lbs. j of meal for one ton of seed. It is a conceded fact cotton seed meal is a cheaper and i more effecthe fertilizer than j cotton seed. According to chemical analysis of each 886 pounds of cotton seed meal are eauivalent to 2000 pounds of cotton seed, but owing to the superior mechanical condition of meal, it is safe to a?gume that 800 pounds of meal are the full equivalent to one ton of cotton seed, therefore, whatever excess above 800 pounds of meal tbejfarmer gets in exchange for a ton of seed is so much clear profit to him in comparison with using the t?*n of seed directly as a fertilizer. You can readily see that by exchanging your seed with us you realize nearly 100 per cent on the transaction. Bring vour seed to us and not make the mistake of getting inferior meal elsewhere in ex change. Our meal is open for inspection. Samples sent on applica tion. Yours, .South Atlantic Oil Co., Jiy Geo.

I often w- -it to see the performaiu e when we made ou? 'de-sive" at the ibateau every month. It always interested our English ] and American friends, as the washing is ne\wr done in that way in cither of their countries. h wavcry convenient at our ) laee, as we had plenty of room. The "lavoir" ; ? i IT stood at the to}> oi me sieps loaning into the kitchen gardens. rh?-i" was a large square tank sunk in the ground, so that the women could kneel to their work, then a little higher another of beautiful clear water, all under cover. Just across the path there was a small house with a blazing wood lire; in the middle an enormous tub, where all the linen was passed through wood ashes. There were four leasiveuses (washerwomen), sturdy peasant women with very short skirts, sabots and turbans, made of blue and white checked calico, on their heads, their strong red arms bared above the elbows. The Mere Michou, the eldest of the four, directed everything and kept them well at work and allowed very little talking. They generally chatter when they are washing and very often quarrel. When tney are washing at the public lavoir in the village one hears their shrill voices from a great distance. Our lingere, Mme. Hubert, superintended the whole operation. She was very keen about it and remonstrated vigorously when they slapped the linen too hard with the little flat sticks, like spades, they use. The linen all came out beautifully white and smooth. It hadn't the yellow look that all city washed clothes have. ? Mme. VVaddington in Seribuer's Magazine. Green Oysters. In Kurope green oysters, called green burden or marennes, are especially prized, ar.d to meet the ?ie? x i i .. . m:i:m oysters are grceucu in p ucniv them as soon as captured in sea water, where they are kept for months and fad on a species of seaweed which imparts the coloring matter to the gills. From carefully conducted investigations it appears that in some cases green oysters owe their color to the presence of copper. Such oysters are not generally considered desirable as food. Green oysters containing copper differ in appearance from tho-c owing their green tint to vegetable coloring matter, being grass green and not dark green in color and having a verdigris-like slimy secretion on the folds of the mantle. It is slid that after the addition of vinegar a steel fork stuck into such oysters becomes coated with copper and that if ammonia is added the oysters become dark blue.?New York Sun. Leap Year Proposals. What woman has ever availed herself ef the privilege of proposing in leap year? Nevertheless, u i? interesting to discover whence tee idea arose. "Her maist blessit majestic Margaret" decreed in the year 1?88 that during her reign every maid of Scotland, whether of high or low degree, should apeak to the man 6he loved. If he were not betrothed already he must marry the maid or pay ?100. Queen Margaret died, and the women were then clamorous for this strange privilege to continue. A appease them an act of parliament waa passed allowing tlse maidens to make their proposals every fourth year.?London Graphic. London's Lord Mayor. A London paper reports that it costs the cprporation of London about $90,000 a year to maintain the pomp and glory of the lord mayor's office. The lord mayor gets $50,000 a year salary, new furniture for each incumbent costs $500, and the robe supplied to each newly elected official is worth $1,000. The rates, taxes and tithes payable on ;he Mansion House total $10,000 a rear, and other incidental expenses jring the annual cost of the office lp to $90,000. Defined.

Xk\v Vokk, February 1:?Adjudged not guilty of the murder of Stanford White by reason of insanity at the time the fatal jslipts were tired, Harry Ken da!

Four hours after the foreman's . lips had framed the words "not guilty" with the accompying insanity clause, Thaw, protesting he was sane, was on his way to Matteawan. A little after nightfall he had been received in the institution under commitment papers wbich directed Ins detention "until discharged by due course of law." No more unwilling patient ever made a journey to a State institution. Thaw's train on its way to to Fishkill Landing,, where a carriage was taken to Matteawan, passed beneath the very walls of grim Sing Sing, but at no time since his arrest on the night of June 96,1000, had the young Pittsburg millionaire ever held the thought that he would se the inside of that famous prison and he heeded it< , noi. f Word Paintings From Brann.
