"Now I can wait on baby," the smiling merchant said, As be stopped and softly toyed with the golden, curly head. "I want oo' to 'tall up mamma," came the answer full and free, "Wif yo' telephone an' ast her when she's tum min' back to me. "Tell her I so lonesome 'at I don't know what to do, An' papa cries so much I dess he must be lonesome, too; Tell her to tum to baby, 'tause at night I dit so 'faid, Wif nobody dere to tiss me when de light begins to fade. "All froo de day I wants her, for my dolly's dot so tored, Furn de owful punchin' buddy give it wif his 'ittle sword; An' ain't nobody to fix it, since mamma went away, An' poor little, lonesome dolly's dittin' thinner ever' day." "My child," the merchant murmured, as he stroked the anxious brow, "There's no telephone connection where your mother lives at now," "Ain't no telephone in heaven?" and tears sprang to her eyes, "I fought dot God had everling wif Him up in de skies." "WADE-AND FOUND WANTING.' Gen. Hampton Opens His Mouth and Puts His Foot In lt. San Francisco Examiner (Democrat) Sept. 6. Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, is the United States Com missioner of Railroads. He is here. In an interview with an Evening Post reporter, General Hampton is said to have uttered his mind as follows : "I wonder whore California would be, and what she would be, without these railroads that you seem so anxious to be righting all the time. Isn't there something in that suggestion worth consider ing? Just fancy your State com pletely cut off from all rail con nection with the rest of the coun try. How would California get along then, I'd like to know?" If that does not fairly entitle Geh. Hampton to the Thrift So ciety's great gold medal for econo my of - gem PO. it_xyiri/^_V)e because he asalready received it for saying ? omething else. Let us see how ( be same kind of reasoning would n pply to other matters. Suppose c ne should inquire how South ?1 larolina would "get along" with- e ut coal oil ; would that be "a sug- ri estion worth considering" when s iscussing the rascalities of the y Standard Oil Company? Suppose 1< t to be true that the country I .'ould bo a good deal worse oil i: nthout sugar than with it; does t hat justify the sins of thc Sugar i ?rust? 'iVhy, according to that a vny of looking at things, a corpora- f iou may rightly resent any deprc- r lation of its refusal to pay taxes i ir of any other iuiquity that it o nay be pleased to commit, so long c is the balance of public advantage f rom i ts operations amounts to one g ?ent. In the same way a default- ii ng tax collector who has embez- a ;led nine-tenths of the money that r io has collected may defend his \ ixaction by pointing out his use- e illness in collecting and turning f n anything at all. Gen. Hampton 6 viii be glad to know that Culifor- j lia is not unreasonable altogether ; n ve candidly admit the utility of ? ailroads. They have on the whole c lone us good-a small fraction of p he good that they would have done c is had not tho scoondrels who con- v tructcd and operated them stood \ n the -way of their construction t iud operation by honest men. c They have done us many an ill f urn ; among others they have \ jrought Gen. Wade Hampton, of c South Carolina, into this State to j talk like a fool. They will do us a { *ood one when they take him away, j As Gen. Hampton has already j one foot in the grave I venture to f prepare the following lines for in- , Bcription on his headstone: ( This spot is too good to be tramped on, For here lies Commissioner Hampton, This world he no longer is haunting, i For Death shouted : "Wade-and found wanting." For centuries yet to come will discussion be held as to whother the origin of the first inhabitants of the American continent is not due to Asia. Dr. Brinton is pretty sure of tho long-past relations be tween the East and the West, and, a? far as that, so is Dr. Tylor. Our leading American authority de clares that there is not a dialect, a tool, a weapon, a symbol, a game, a domesticated plant, or an animal in UBO in America at the time of tho discovery that does not show its original Asiastic origin.

For upward of twenty years I have made a practice of raising a sufficiency of sorghum for home consumption. I have raised it for the syrup, of which I obtain 100 to 200 gallons per acre ; for the seed, of which I obtain quantum sufficit to keep our poultry up to the "lay ing point" the year around; and for the forage, with which I feed my cattle during winter, or a3long as it lasts. I regard sorghum as the most profitable crop that can be raised on an ordinary farm. Without being anyways egotistical, I think I have brought the matter) of sorghum-syrup making down to a "fine point;" that I know just exactly the "how," the "why" and the "wherefore" of the whole modus operandi; hence have no apology to offer for throwing out a few hints to amateur syrup-mak ers. My experience has been with portable mills exclusively. I oc casionally come across one who professes to be a syrup maker who believes in "luck," and with whom the making of a really first-class article of syrup is mere chance work, the exception rather than the rule. As there are 1095 meal times in a year, at all of which syrup in some form is quite a "standard" article and takes its regular place, it is with feelings of dissatisfaction, and oftentimes of mortification that a sorry, indif ferent and decidedly inferior arti cle takes the place of that which might have been and should have been strictly first-class. There is difference as to quality in (3) va rieties of cane and (2) land on which it is grown, black lauds in variably making dark syrup, while mulatto clays, buckshot and whitish or pipe-clay soils make an article that is hard to beat in both taste and appearance, fully equal to the very best of refined syrup and vastly superior to any of the ^g^u^co^e^^^y^^ps^co^^h^^^^^^fc^ 'he making of a really good syrup leaving out "darkness" or "bright- F ess" of product) rests not on t hance or peradventure, but wholly nd solely on the degree of knowl- j_ dga, ability, and skill of the syrup ' laker. Sorghum syrup, at ifs best, bould be of a pale, rich, golden ^ ? ellow, or, at most, a reddish yel- (j nw color; never darker than this, t should be thick enough to "rope" ? n warm weather, and thin enough 0 run or be drawn from the barrel n cold weather. In order to have n article that will please the most astidious and find ready sale at^c emunerative prices on any market, t is essential that you have a good ? utfit-a good mill, with a good opper pan, or evaporator. Don't . 001 away time or money with a v ?alvanized iron pan unless it is .bsolutely unavoidable. The mill .nd pan should be of a size to cor espond with each other; ae, if the ?an is too large for the mill, it will . vap?rate the juice too fast; the ^ ire will occasionally have to be ? lacked ; as a consequence, the c uice is left on the pan too long :iid tho syrup will necessarily be lark. Thc less timo the juice stays f >n the pan and tho speedier thef iroccss of syrup-making is carried ID, the better, clearer, and brighter y rill be the product. On th9 other land, if the mill is tou large for he pan, a head of juice is too tasily kept up, and an idle team md idle hands are the consequence. ?Ve mention this because it. is j >fteu the case that tho mill and yan are out of proportion. The hird essential is, strict cleanliness throughout the entire syrup-mak ing process. The juice should be strained at the mill, again strained it and before going on tho evap Drator, and, third, the syrup must be strained as it leaves the evap orator. In making syrup, we try to kee]) tho three back sections (those next the chimney) filled with the partially cooked syrup even with the lower bars ; the three front sections (those over the fire) filled with green juice level with tho upper or highest bars. The back section should be syrup, or nearly so; the second bar not quite PO far advanced, the third still less so, while thc front, half of tho evaporator should be juice steadily undergoing thc evaporat ing process, until by the time a "run" is made it. is at thc right stage ;(i. e., highly colored) to be run into the back sections. The ? almost finished article should not] bo allowed to occupy moro than, two sections, or the probabilities; are that some of the syrup will: gt scorched before it can be gol cf the pan. A good boil sho fr kept up the entire length of pm (with the single exceptio! tie first section, which should edd juice running out of tank i evaporator) from the beginning tie end of thc evaporating proc Tie main requisites on the par tie syrup maker are a clear he a quick eye, a deft hand, and 1; bit not least, he must know bisiness and have confidence hinself. Now for a few negatives : Never let the pan get too ful i. full from one end to the otl Never be afraid of a "burn-u but kenp plenty of juico beh: yoi, and the tank full as practi bk Never make a "run" until syrup ib fully ripe, which may eaaly told by its sinking or "go. doyn" on the pan ; by its "ropii when held aloft on the skimir and by the peculiar "putterin "puffing" noise made by the bubbles as they burst or explode 'ikever allow raw or partia cooked juice to be mixed with ' syrup that is cooked in order prevent "scorching,*' or even "bnrn-up," or the resulting predi wnl be a lumpy, jelly-like m thkt is hardly fit for a hog to G Ali that is necessary to previ having scorched, burned, and e< seqSieutly "dark" syrup, with hard, biting flavor, is a close at!.? tion to business, with plenty juice behind you and more in I tank. Never allow juice, either in I mill, tank, or evaporator to sour Never grind out the juice lc before it is evaporated, or it w sour. Twelve hours is amply sn cient to turu sweet juice into sharp, sour "beer," necessitati the ;addition of lime or soda quantity sufficient to neutral the.4icid. lu spite of all the care that m be exercised in straining the jui ^^^^^^^ V ire/vent this adhering to and bak ng\to ths pan, theoby giving t be,'s}rrup a scorched flavor, if no ausing an actual "burn-up." th ottom of the pan should bo re leatcdly and thoroughly scrape* nth the edge of the skimmer, o ubbed with the wooden rake o craper; more especially is thii lecessary just previous to and dur ug a run. All vessels, receptacles, and im dements used in holding the juice nd in the manufacture of the yrup should be kept scrupulously lean; even thc syrup-maker him elf may wear a fine suit of clothes ,nd a snow-white "staked and ider-ed" shirt without getting hem badly soiled, and yet bostir limself sufficiently to turn out a uperfine article of syrup. Never cut the cano until it is ripe, vhicsh may be decided by the ripe less of the head and the color of he cane; and let the period of ime that elapses between the ?hipping, topping, cutting of the ?aue and its manufacture into yru? bo as slnrt as possible. Nfver permit the blades to be rostbitten before they are stripped ?ff; but if Jack Frost should steal ipot you unawares, then strip the )lad;s off immediately, before the iun has had time to wilt them, md ill will bo well. Frost-bitten :aneand tba syrup made from it sa little worse than none. In the making of an absolutely vrfect article of syrup, a great tal depends on tho degree of ripe ns of the cane, the kind of land )i which it is grown, variety of ane, time it is allowed to stay on tie evaporator, tho fireman, and tie syrup-maker.

CAJOLED UP HIGHER. Spartanburg Spartan. Mrs. Marina Gregg Blake, wife of Mr. William K. Blake, of this city, quietly passed away, Tuesday, September 25, 1894, which was her birth day, and was buried the day following in Oakwood ceme tery. Although the storm was se vere on Wednesday afternoon, a large number of friends assembled at the church to pay merited hon ors to one who had blamelessly walked with them in this com munity for thirty-four years. The many kind inquiries during her long illness, the regret that her days of useful work had ceased, the many beautiful flowers sent in as a last loving tribute, attested how highly she was esteemed by all, how dearly she was loved by those who knew her well. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jones, of Edgefield. It was only a short time ago that she gently ministered to her father in his last illness. Her mother sur vives her. In education and eo ciety she had all the advantages ber native town and Stats could give. To one of her vivacious na ture and attractive manners the social world held out many allure ments. When she reached that period of life when she had to de cide between all the pleasures and fascinations offered by society in its best conditions and an bumble and faithful service in the cause of the Divine Savior, like Mary of Bethany, she chose that better part, which was never taken away from her. Once her mind was made up she carried all of her en thusiasm and energy into work for thc church. Never for a single hour did she seem to regret her choice. With her it was a work of love; of rapturous joy. The writer first knew her a? a student in the Spartanburg Fe male College. Full of life and activity she never showed tb.9 slightest disrespecttoteachers. ^Srquiclj:, penetrating min<^ j>ut her at the head of her class. It was a pleasure to teach her and watch the sparkle of her eyes and her beaming face as she grasped some thought or solved a problem that at first seemed difficult. Never did teacher have a better or more appreciative pupil. For years she has been distin guished in her labors for the good of the church and the promotion of the temperance cause. She was the very life of the temper ance organization in this city. The poor of the community have re- i ceived many benefits and blessings at her hands. Pastors and their families, while her health lasted, : always found a helpful friend in ; her. With much patience she would plead with the wayward and '. srring and endeavor to win them i Dver to the right way. i Her home life was charming. ] While the husband maj- be called 1 the head of the family, the wife is i its heart and soul. The emotions 1 ind tender sentiments generally buster around the mother. It was j peculiarly the case with Mrs. Blake, j render, considerate, gentle, Christ- j ike, she not only taught her chil- 1 Iren to walk uprightly, but Bhe 1 continually walked that way her- i ?elf. To them sho leaves the heri- t ;age of a pure life devoted to their i lighost interests. We do not like t :o lift the veil that shuts in the sacred scenes of home life and es pecially the last words of those ] ,vho are ready to depart. Those ' ire blessed facts which will bc- ] ionic hallowed memories for the 1 loved ones. But we will quote a ! lew clear, positive statements she ' uadc just before her departure. ( 3he said to Mr. Blake : "While in life and health, I tried 1 to do my Father's will, and now 1 be is sweetly witnessing to me that * [ am his child." "In view of death, I experience ' no ecstacy, but I have a peace and joy which is sweeter than life and stronger than death." "All is well. My Heavenly Father calls and I am ready to an swer; for to meto live is Christ and to die is gain." Poultry for Profit. Mail anil Express. On April 1, 1803,1 embarked in 1 tho poultry business with eight . white Leghorn hens and ono brown Leghorn cock as my full stock in trade. I kept them in a building 10x12x6 feet, and fed them ona ? mixture made of three parts oats , io one of corn, commonly called provender; this I mixed in water and added all the scraps of meat, etc., from tho table. During the cold winter months I fed who! corn at night. I kept a daily xi cord of the eggs produced by m feathered tribe, and at the end < the year, April 1, 1S94,1 had gatl ered 1,213 eggs aud raised a floe of 68 chicks. On examining tl record and making computations was surprised to ascertain that m investment had paid me a ni profit of $1.55 per head for ru flock. There is money in tl poultry business, but the pai year's experience teaches me bi yond a doubt that success in th line requires untiring labor, gre* regularity and good care. S. A. TRUMBULL. The Safer Way. Col. Coru-scrieug, of Kentuck; was a dignified citizen, with blooming red nose, and while 1 had his weaknesses, he was heidi be scrupulously honest. One da a business mau called hun int his office. "Colonel," he said, "I want I leave a valuable package with yo for a week or so." "Very good, sir," replied the co onel, "where is it?" "It's here in my desk. I war to say to you that it is a gallon c whiskey. Are you to be truste with it?" The colonel's face flushed. "My honor's at stake, sir," h returued haughtily. "Yes, I understand; but this i not drug store whiskey; it's ger uine thirty-year-old stuff. The colonel's eyes shone. The man took the demijohn ou and the colonel inspected it car? fully and satisfied himself that: was as represented, then he set : down upon the floor.

It is no mere peck with them ; they bite and hang on. The common old farm-yard gander is a capital fighter when he is driven to it. At a certain place in Scotland there used to be a caged golden eagle. He preferred to kill his own din ner, and it used to be a cruel sport to watch him dispose of any un fortunate hen or guinea fowl that was put into his cage. They tried him, I believe, with every sort of domestic poultry. Ducks, peafowl, turkeys-the eagle was master of them all. He had no trouble in finishing them off, no trouble even with the "bubbly jock." But at length they tried him with a gander ; but he could make nothing of it. The gander srouched into a corner, drew back bis head, presenting nothing but a broad, spade-like bill, from which 3ver quarter the eagle tried to at tack him. The eagle fumed and fretted, and *rew very angry j he made desper ite attempts to take the gander in ;he flank, but the wise old bird de feated them all. In the end they lad to give the gander his liberty, is the reward of his courage, and :o satisfy the eagle with the much nore succulent dainty of a young :urkey poult. A story is told of Dick, a darky, n Kentucky, who was a notorious chicken thief, who was so vicious u this respect that all the thefts n the neighborhood were charged ;o him. On one occasion, Mr. rones, a neighbor of Dick's master, jailed and said that Dick must be sold out of that part of tho coun ty, for he had stolen all his (Jones') turkeys. Dick's master could not think so. The two, how ever, went into the field where Dick was at work and accused him Df the theft. "You stole Mr. Jones's turkeys," said the master. "No, I did not, massa," respond 3d Dick. The master persisted. "Well," at length said Dick, "I'll tell you, massa, I didn't take dem turkeys, but last night I went across Mr. Jones;s pasture, an' saw one of your rails on de fence, an' brought it home, and, confeund it, ivhen I looked, dar was nine tur keys on de rail."

Herbert, of the schooner yacht Puritan, arrived here to-day from Pepper Grove Bay. He says : "A water spout, which formed yester day in Bolivcr Chauuei, passed ever the bay about ll o'clock. I was coming down the bay with a moderate breeze, when suddenly a huge cloud appeared to extend from the surface of the water high up into the heavens. It was about three hundred feet in diameter. Instantly I realized the danger and changed the Puritan's course so as to get out of the way of the fun nel-shaped terror. On came the water, hissing and roaring and scattering the spray in every direc tion. Capt. Joughan, of the sloop Kate, was in a skiff fishing for oysters when the water spout came tearing up the bay. He was directly in its path. He was lifted out of the skiff and carried up by the spout. This was the last seen of him, and the supposition is that he was drowned. Several boats were capsized." A remarkable discovery has been made in tho Assiout necropolis. Among various objects was an en tire company of wooden soldiers some 38 centimeters in height. (The centimeter is about two-fifths of an inch.) These little figures give a complete idea of the equip ment of the regular soldier in the time of the Pharaos. The soldiers carry lances, which are precisely like those used in the Soudan to day. Almost a New Yoi-k Daily.
