It is a co- fo incidence also that both of these met) 01 were on the Society of Friends and ti both hailed from Buckinghamshire, England. When Archdale, who was one of the proprietaries of South Carolina, was ai deputed to administer its affairs as pi Governor in 1696, the conflicting tt interests between the proprietaries and I' the colonists were exceedingly strain- j ed and apparently irreconcilable. The buccaneers who depredated upon the Spanish commerce and towns of the Caribbean Sea spent their gains freely J in the colony, and were hence not interfered with. A lively raflic in Indian captives was carried on, stimulating wars in the iuterior; and, the captives beiDg traded for the rum of Barbadoes. something very much of the nature of a "returning plague" became the colonists' experience. The Huguenots who had sought a refuge in Carolina were roughly treated by the cavaliers, who hotly opposed their enfranchisement.

He appointed a Council satisfactory to the settlers, de- ? siring them to choose their own representatives to the Assembly. That the oi Hugufenots might be better treated, he ^ " interested : himself to awaken public ti sympathy toward the retugees. Some ? Indian slaves who were about to be sold to the islands having been, t ' ' ' hrough his intervention, set free, the atives afterward showed their ratitude for this act by kindly caring jr a shipwrecked erew, who had ? xpected to be murdered. Archdale, moreover, showed an open spint ward the Spaniards, who for the fli rst time expressed a wish to be on 01 riendly terms with theEuglish. No lo ympathy was extended toward the J reebooters. Finally, the Council and assembly, previously at loggerheads J? *ith the proprietaries, now voted v hem grateful thanks?the first express- 111 >n of such sentiments ever uttered in Jarolina.

Score Card That May Be Practiced by t Any Farmer. r. t In the annexed cuts are given a plan t for measuring swine in connection with \ the score card that was recently described r and illustrated in Swine Breeder's JournaL 1 ! Swine breeder says: "I would take J ofr-oicrht. oHrro nnrl nils. Iav fitraicht OU C the back of hog No. 1. It will fit his back ^ almost the entire length. t * 1 I, or ~ r Bct. PLAN FOR MEASURING HOGS. 1 d0 "Now," explains the swine breeder, "if ? It fit the entire length, and would give 1 the animal full score on back, and if the 1 lnwer lin? of the side were straight would also score full. If the ham was deep, thick and even curve down on to . the hock and square on the back (part or nearly so) would score full and would take all parts that were even, round and square ? where required and give full score. Now take the No. 1 cut. It is almost straight ( on the back, but not entirely so. Score seven points or cut one point; lower line i not quite so important a part of the hog, cut one point, although is more off from ( straight line than line of back. The ham in No. 1 would call good, while in No. 2 . the ham is off at least three points, the ^ 1 dotted lines showing where it is off the worst. The line of back shows also a ? bad measurement. The distance from back line of No. 2 is four times as much j 11 as on No. 1. I would want the heart | ~ measurement as much or more than the flank measurement. The shoulder I ( would want more like No. 1. The dotted line on No. 2 shows deficiency as well as showing by lines that back and lower line are deficient several points." PLAN FOR MEASURING HOGS. 1 Without straight edge and rule or tape l we could not get at the exact score where i two hogs are very nearly alike. There I pre more No. 2 hogs in the show than No. I 1, and No. 1 will score nearer seventy i points than ninety-five or ninety-eight. I The ninety-point hogs, according to the I authority quoted, are yet to be grown. i I ?" Corn the Great American Crop. 1 Corn, or maize, is the great American ? e. tillage crop. There is no other of half its ? area. Wheat has nearly half and cotton i a quarter its breadth. It is sufficient t to cover Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with a \ ; slice of Iowa in addition. Its area last t year, though reduced by drought, was 51 I per cent, of that of all cereals together, i ily." and its product was 55 per cent. It is i Oam now grown in every state and territory in the Union, though sparingly in those of high elevations, in the Rocky Mountain 0am region. The supply as population iniiaui creases is enlarged rather than dimin- c Sam ished. It was 25.5 bushels per head in \ 1850, 26.6 in 1860, 29.7 in 1870 and 85 in ? Sain 1880. j 0am The crop, large as it is, is exported in s 7pm 8ma^ proportion. Only 4 per cent, of the ( 4pm production of seventeen years has gone ? 2pm abroad for a market. The home market s jjij? is 96 per cent, of all, and its relative j 0pm abundance or scarcity makes the price. , ^ If scarce, the price is nigh, and foreigners : decline to buy; if low enough to compete J lpm with foreign feeding stuffs a larger quanOpm tity is exported. Neither Liverpool nor s m.! 1 xl. :? u..i t pm l/Ulcagu liiUKes ujw price, uui liio laiuicis 7pm and country feeders, who use five-sixths 1 ipm of all. It "is a crop of which railways ! 2^? carry but a small part. Less than one- [ 4am fifth crosses state lines. Half is used for * feeding for milk or flesh, one-tenth for human food and four-tenths for the food 6am of working animals. For spirits scarcely Jjai" 1 per cent, is used. jp|JJ The prospect for the present year is for Opm the largest area ever grown of this dis- ? =? tinctively American crop. Aside from the ' ?? area intended for grain there are millions i J?: of acres drilled for forage, the silo and i 8pm summer dairy. No other plant will ( Spm produce so much nutritious feed on a ( lpui riven area. No other is worth so much g ?pm American tillage. ^ 3pm A 7pm Salicylic Acid for Preserving Fruit. ' 'Pm Although the use of salicylic acid In ' 2pm wines and preserved fruits has been for- i 5pm bidden in France, yet in Germany and i 1pm some other countries its use is increasing. ^ In regard to the quantity ef acid to be 4 used, Dr. F. Von Heyden, of Dresden, j Oam recommends for most purposes one drachm ! (about two teaspoonfuls) of crystallized J ain8 acid to every three pounds of fruit. The f ?nta jars may also be covered with white paper I ^ soaked in an alcoholic solution of salicylic i MrJ acid. In manufactured preserves, mar- 4 1 3S malades, etc., two ounces of acid are rering quired for every hundred weight of pulp. . Raw fruit can be preserved a long time . >jor- when wrapped in clean, salicylated paper.

" Chemical analysis shows that appU 4 , R pomace has a higher feeding value than turnips, beets or potatoes. But it must | ' be fed judiciously in order to obtain its full value. For. instance, a cow cannot ^ e. thrive on an exclusive diet of pomace; ~ Indeed she will harm herself, doubtless, f am if left to help herself unrestrained to a load of pomace dumped down within her f reach. On the other hand, a peck, say, . of this substance per day, fed along with ' the ration given tot horned stock, will * prove decidedly advantageous. " ? A horse show in Madison Square garden, New York city, is announced for Nov. 5, at which will be seen everything in horse flesh, from heavy draught horses to graceful thoroughbreds. am am * < To Clean Haste Pipes. A retired plumber thus gives a point for the gratutious relief of householders : "Just before retiring at night pour into the clogged pipe enough liPm quid soda lye to till the 'trap,' or bent pm part of the pipe. Be sure that no pm water runs in it until the next mornon ing. During the night the lye will the convert all the oftal into soft soap, and the first current of water in the morna> ing wiJl wash it away, and clear the ,1.. pipe as clean as new." m ,no Bruce's restaurant keeps a full llneofflne cigars and cigarettes. Bespeclable Working: Girls. "I read iu a newspaper this mornng,"saida downtown business man, that? girl who was found ill in the treets looks 'like a respectable worktig girl.' I cannot help but think bat is one of tbe many stereotyped ibrases that are used in writing beause they come naturally and easily o the writers' mind. I don't believe here is any type of respectable workng girl. The phrase must cover tbe i remendous gaps between the servant ype, the factory type and the typevriter and saleswoman type, so it does lot mean anything. When I am in a lurry I drop into lunching place on Fulton street and always find it irowded by 'respectable working girls.' fhey are typewriters and saleswomen, >ut I can point out dozens, who, if een separately on tbe street, could not >e told from tbe idle and stylish laughters of the moderately wcll-tolo.

Why, work has not dampen:d their spirits, for they are all as nerry as young girls should be. And he preference they give to pastry, is well as the way they twist and urn to examine one another's dresses, ibows '*iat combining business and emininity has not altered the sex nuch as yet." 1 m ? 1 .

The following incident, from an xchange, is very suggestive: "They ill put brandy in them," said one. 'They all don't. My mother has aever put a drop of brandy into her nince pies since the day Bob satd be could taste the brandy, and it ;asted good. Mother said' then it was i wrong, and she uever would be guil:y of it again. And if mother says a ;hlng is wrong, you may be sure it is wrong; for what mother knows, she jnows." How about mince pies? Are fou sure she knows how to make pies ;ood ?" and a laugh went up from i group of girJs gatbeied arouua tLie egister of tbe recitation-room, eating ,heir luncb.

Frequently where acute nasal catarrh is threatened, a hot foot-bath .vith a hot compress of the forehead, ind one at the nap of the neck, will ivert the disagreeable condition which leems inevitable. A stubborn cough :an be conquered often by persistent! ipplication of hot water to the throat! aid bronchial regions.
