A conscientious, hard-working and^f eminently successful clergyman writesT I "I am glad to bear testimony to Tte pleasure and increased" measure*" of efficiency and health that have co^e to me from adopting Grap?^Kuts food as one of my articles of diet. \r;~' "For several years I was much dis tressed during the early part of each day by indigestion. My breakfast, usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed to digest. After dinner thc headache and other symptoms following the breakfast would wear away, only to re turn, however, next morning.. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I finally concluded to give it a fair trial. I quit the use of oatmeal ?nd eggs, and made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum. The result .was surprising in improved health and total absence of the distress that had, fr? so long a time,- followed the lriorn X, g meal. My digestion became <flce more satisfactory,'the headaches Oea,sed, aud the old feeling of energy, returned.

This emulsion destroys plant lice, squash bugs, leaf hoppers, aphis, bark lice, chinch bugs, etc., prepared as follows: Dissolve one-half pound of the best whale oil soap in four pints of water boiling. When the soap is all dissolved remove from the fire and add eight pints of kerosene, agitating the whole briskly until a stable mix ture is obtained. This is best done by using the force pump and pump ing the mixture with force against the vessel that contains it. The strength ordinarily used is prepared by diluting one part of the Emulsion in ten or twelve parts of water. In making Kerosene Emulsion only whale oil soap should be used-the common soap will not answer the purpose. The whale oil soap costs only a few ~ents a pound.-Indiana Farmer. Dry Feed for Chicks. One of the best possible rations for a chick, whether reared under laen ol in brooder, is what we call dry ration. It is the nearest approach to the nat ural diet Of a fowl possible to attain. This method calls for all dry food, such as rolled wheat and oats, small broken corn, rice or grain of any kind, snmll seeds and beef scraps mixed; to this should be ?tlded small grit of some kind. The beef scrap should be of good quality, that has been properly prepared and ;aicely "ground. This kidd of food can be greatly improved by the addition of some well-broken peas and beans, and a little properly prepared clover. The peas,' beans and clover furnish the vegetable and green food, the rest the grain seed and the animal portion of their diet; giving them a most per fectly balanced ration. Should it be preferred to add to this a mixed food, it-: should be- thoroughly scalded. If cooked or baked* so much the better, for this takes away the unnaturalness of the food, ?ut little trouble from feeding is experienced when this method is followed.-N. Gi Temple, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Gooseberries and Currants. The Downing gooseberry pays mc well for market, being hardy and pro lific. Taking one season with another, :an,acre. of gooseberries sells for about $2??. Among currants, the Fay is a superior variety-large, prolific and a good keeper-John W. Page. Currants are easily grown, not re quiring especially good cultivation, and doing well even in the shade of orchard trees, but good care and plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav orite variety is the Red Cross.-E. E. Laurence. Gooseberries are a profitable crop with me, selling at about $1.50 per bushel, wholesale. Currants also pay well, bringing an average of $2.50 per bushel. Both fruits are subject to at tacks of the currant worm, which strips the foliage, but we fight them successfully by using a tablespoonful of paris green to a quart of slaked lime sifted on the plants while the dew is on and repeating the opera tion each week during the early part of thc season. I grow the Houghton gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic toria and Fay currants. The cherry currant-with me is not productive enough.-J. B. Johnston, in American Cultivator. ' Fish for Poultry. . ? In preparing fish for fowls we pre fer to chop them up raw, add a very little salt and pepper and feed in small quantities in connection with grain and vegetables; but for young chicks it is advisable to boil before feeding and simply open the fish down the .line of the back bone, leaving to the chicks the rest of the task. This food should be given to layers, sparingly, or wc may perceive a fishy smell about thc eggs, especially if the fish is fed raw. All who can will do well to try this diet for their flocks, and note its effect on egg production. We have always marked a decided^ncrease in the rate of laying following an allow ance of fish fed in moderate quanti ties.

Melt together slowly in an iron ves sel, stirring with a stick and taking care that there is no danger of burn ing. In about 20 minutes or so, when well mixed, pour out a portion into a vessel of cold water. This in a min ute or so will be cool enough to take up and work with the hands, pulling it like taffy. Thc hands must have been slightly greased with tallow, to prevent the wax from sticking to them. When the wax has been pulled enough until it becomes light-colored, it may be .nade into rolls or balls, and put into another vessel of cold water to harden; and then laid away until required for use. Other portions of the melted wax mr.- be poured into the first vessel of cold water from time to time, and treated as before until all is used up. In using this wax in the orchard, if the day is co'd it will need to. lie in warm water v>vhen not in use) in or der to have it of the proper consis tency for working well; and in warm weather it may need to be kept lying in cold water for the same purpose. Tins wax has been used for many years and it answers the purpose per fectly; never cracking and falling off the graft in . the coldest weather or melting and running down the stock in summer.-Southern Fruit Grower. Miskmelon Culture. Last season we had very good suc cess in growing muskmelons, both for home use ..and for market. The ground, a black loam, was plowed rather early and put in good condi tion by the use of the drag and har row. % In the spring a generous appli cation of barnyard manure was spread tipon the ground and turned under. As soon as the danger of frost was over we planted the seeds in hills, in rows about :? 1-2 feet apart, and the hills about seven feet in the rows. As soon as they were through the ground we went over the plants with sejt petre water, to help drive the little striped bugs away. I think it acted as a fertilizer, for the plants made a very rapid growth afterwards. After an interval of a few days, a second application was made. We used a large tablespoonful to a bucket of water. The plants received frequent culti vation until they commenced vining and setting melons. The patch was kept free from weeds and the hills thinned, leaving only the strongest piants. The dry weather during July made the melons small than they would have been if pier of moisture had been available. Hau of our patch was Rocky Fords canta lopes and the re mainder was several other varieties. lt pays to have rich soil and give thorough cultivation in growing mel ons.-C. B., in Indiana Farmer, Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs. In answer to two inquiries about the value of rape pasture for pigs, we reproduce again the following from the Wisconsin Experiment Station: Read the experience carefully. 1. That with pigs from four to ten months old, representing the various breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when properly grown, has a feeding value, when combined with a ration of corn and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds of mixture of these grain feeds and a money value of $19.49 per acre. 2. That rape is a better green feed for growing pigs than good clover pas ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hav ing made on the average 100 pounds of gain on 33.5 pounds less grain than was required by the pigs fed upon clover pasture. . 3. That pigs are more thrifty, have better appetites and make correspond ingly greater gains when supplied with rape pasture in conjunction with their grain feed than when fed on grain alone. 4. That a- plant of Dwarf Essex forage rape, when planted in drills 30 inches apart, early in May, will yield three good crops of pasture forage in a favorable season. 5. That rape is the most satisfac tory and cheapest green feed for swine that we have fed. G. That every feeder of hogs should plant each spring a small field of rape adjoining his yard, and "provide him self with a few rods of movable fence, to properly feed thc rape to brood sows and young pigs. 7. That rape should be sown for this purpose in drills 30 inches apart to facilitate the stirring of the ground and cultivation after each successive growth has been eaten off. S. The hogs should not be turned upon a rape pasture until the plants are at least twelve to fourteen inches high, and that they should be pre vented from rooting while in the rape field. 9. That rape is not a satisfactory feed when fed alone, when it is de sired to have any live weigh gain made in hogs, though it has been found that they will just about main tain themselves without loss of weight on this feed alone.-Indiana Farmer. LACK OF SELF CONTROL. Health and Happiness a Matter of Our Will Power. It is lack of control that sends most of us into conditions of nervous whoops and hysterical fussbudgets. It is lack of control that causes us to speak harshly to the cook when calmer words would do twice as well. It is lack of control that makes us unjust, quick-tempered, uncharitable and vin dictive. It is lack of control that pro duces about nine-tenths of the head aches from which nervous women suf fer. You hear every day "I worry so, it makes me* ill," or "I am so ill most of the time, and? I just can't help worry ing." There you are. The sick mind brings the sick body. The sick body creates the sick mind. Remember that the hu man body has a telephone system. Whenever your mind gets into a tur moil the whole neighborhood of nerves knows all about it. The stomach sulks. Every part of the digestive apparatus takes a vacation. There's one grand standsti^A^flf^ wli'i^trnew ones/" *r ? buji^first thing in matter of con ^riol is to learnle breathe properly and to carry^ourself properly. The next is hovj^to dress properly, how to eat and^now to sleep. These are all in lin? with physical beautifying. The oji?er course embraces mental beauti -'tying. We all should realize that every thing is a matter of the mind. Observe the woman who is madly in love with her husband. Several years later she isn't. The man, no doubt, is the same as Ke was when sshe loved him. And the change? It is simple. At first her mind saw only his splendidness, his virtues and goodness. After a time it discovered a few faults. She magni fied them. In doing this she lost sight of his virtues. His goodness and his faults were as she thought them. Ev erything was the product of her own brain-so far as she was concerned. She might just as weel have continued to have thought him adorable. Then Cupid wouldn't have been told to get another lodging place-poor dear. Exchange. Fortunes in Waiting. In spite of the enormous inroads made on this earth's great store of wealth, diamonds, gold, oil, gas, coal, iron and other materials, recent investigations have brought to light the interesting fact that treas ure fields containing fabulous wealth still remain intact. Investigations have proved, for in stance, that huge areas of the floor of the Pacific are strewn thick with immense deposits of nodules of pure manganese. Invent a practicable and economical method of recovering it, and the individual who does so will at once become rich beyond the dreams of avarice. The most crying need of today is a substitute for para rubber. It is cer tain to be discovered sooner or later. Malleable glass was manufactured and used by the Romans nearly two thousand years ago. But the secret has been lost. It. seems odd that no one in this age of mechanical progress has been able to rediscover the meth od of manufacturing a tough and un breakable glass. Whoever succeeds in doing so and making the discovery economically useful will reap a great reward. Real photography in colors is still an open field and offers boundless op portunities for the inventor. In small er matters, too, the list of wants un. supplied is endless.

There was a wide range of tempera ture during the week ending 8 a. m. June 12th; from 99 at Florence on the 8th to a minimum of 49 at Greenville on the 10th, after which the tempera ture, rose slowly to about normal at the close of the week. The cool nights were damaging to cotton and tobacco. Fresh to brisk northeast winds prevail ed during the night of the 8th and on the 9th, which in places, was somewhat detrimental. A severe hail storm occur red in York county. Sunshine was in excess. With the exception of light showers in York and Greenwood counties and a trace of rain in places on the coast, the week was without rain, and in places there has been no rain in over two weeks. The ground has become baked and crusted in places, rendering them hard to cultivate, thus increasing the diiffculty of ridding fields of grass and weeds. Although but few crops are ac tually suffering the need of rain is-1 felt in all parts of the State. There is but slight improvement in. cotton, and that only where cultiva tion was early and thorough. There is some yet to bc chopped, and many fields continue grassy and some have J been abandoned, although the greater part of the crop has been cleaned. The' cool nights checked growth, ^ and the plants are generally undersized and in places have a yellow cast and lack thriftiness. Lice continue damaging uin.-| the central and eastern counties.. The/ first upland bloom was reported- fronf Bamberg county on^the 4th, and' th?" first sea-island from Charleston on the 6th. Sea-island cotton is in a promis ing condition, being clean and-grow-.j ing rapidly. V-'," There has been no marked improve-' ment in corn which, as a rule, is small,; in places yallow, and many fields lack cultivation and are foul. Early corn is: tasselling and being laid by in the eastern and southern counties. Bottom lands have about all been pknted'-in thc west, but bud worms have been destructive sc- that stands are badly broken. ^pJ?_ jj i Rice is doing well, and Juj*rr???ant?ff^ is nearly finished.

Wheat harvest made rapid : progress, under favorablbe conditions bul the yields'are poor, owing to the 'prevalence of rust. Oats harvest is fin ished in places and nearly so in all ?arts of the State. While generally; ?cor, in places the yields* are good, ^ij^ommercial peach crop is ripening fastend shipments are heavy. The. quality of the fruit is good. Gardens" need rain. Minor crops are, as a rule, doing well.-J. W. Bauer, Section Di rector. Fatal Affray. Greenville, Special.-As a result of an attack made upon Special Officer Ell Pittman by Newmen Burns and George Rigdon Sunday night at midnight, Burns is dead and the officer is painful ly wounded. The killing occurred in tho American Spinning Company's village, on tho Buncombe road, oppo site the Reuben Smith residence. Several men standing nearby rushed to the officer's aid and dragged Rig don off. Burna fell unconscious and died in 30 minutes. Drs. Wright and Earle were called and gave the officer's wounds attention. The wounds, while painful, are not dangerous. His upper lip was laid open and several gashes were cut across the back of the head'? Officer Pittman is a regular deputized officer, and in attempting to arrest Burns and Rigdon the two men made a murderous assault upon him, Rig don seizing and holding the officer, while Burns slashed him with a knife about the head and face. The officer, by a superhuman effort, freed his right arm and seizing his pistol, fired three Shots at Burns, two of which took ef fect, one in the center of the throat, the other on the side of the neck, severing the juglar vein. Rigdon was lodged in jail and Officer Mttman. after his wounds were dressed, came to the etty and surrendered to the sheriff. The men cursed the officer and the at tack was unwarranted, so the witnesses state. Rigdon Is known to be a bad character. Monument to General Boynton. . Chattanooga, Tenn., Special.-At a meeting here it was decided that a handsome monument should be erected in honor of the late General Henry V. Eoynton. The place for its location will be decided later. The monument will probably cost in the neighborhood ol $20,000 ahd subscriptions will be so licited from all parts of the country in order to make it national in scope. Street Cars Collide. Columbia. Special.-Three passen gers, two women and a child, were in jured in a'head-on collision Monday afternoon between street cars on the bend of the union station line at the senior of Main and Pendellon streets. AH escaped serious injury and- the i.-ars wore not badly damaged, because of the Miiiek application of the air brakes, the injuries being sustained by the suddenness ct thc stop. For t^r.ately both cara were alrnpBt empty. About Tablecloths. Linen tablecloths keep white much better if instead of being washed with the other clothes they arc rubbed through, scalded and put into the sudsing water before other pieces. Linen irons more easily if well shak en free of wrinkles before being hung on the line. An Excellent Washing Fluid. The best and most harmless wash ing fluid can bc made as follows: 1 bali of potash, 1 oz. salts of artar, 1 oz. ammonia. Crush thc rosin off the potash, then take the ball and the salts of tartar and put in stone jar with 1 gal. of water. Let stand a day, then strain, and put in gallon jug with the ammonia, corking tig'-fly. To use, arid 1 spoonful to each bucket of water used in boiling clothes. This saves rubbing.-A. S. in Indiana Farmer. When Sheets Wear Out. Sheets often get badly worn in the centre before they show any signs of wear at the sides. Careful house keepers often "turn" such sheets when, they arc made of double width goods, simply tear''them down thc centre, hem the edges with a narrow handkerchief hem and sew the outer selvages together. A carefully turned" sheet lasts more than twice as long as a sheet that is left to wear itself out as it was first made. It seems like folly, however, to "turn" towels and other similar articles, as over-particular housewives so often suggest. Except for thc woman who has little else to do it is a waste of time. Flatirons. The flatirons must always bo per fectly clean, and it is best to scour them each time they are used; by do ing it thus frequently they arc kept clean with very little work, while if neglected they arc constantly doing poor work, soiling thc clean clothes, and a long scouring when they are cleaned. After they arc washed and scoured each week, place on the stove -to dry thoroughly and then slip each one into a little bag made with draw -strings for thc purpose, or, at least, slip each one into au empty paper bag to keep clean from dust till they are used again. A rag dipped in kero sene and salt is excellent for smooth ing the bottom of an iron; or sprinkle some salt between layers of waxed paper like that used for lining crack _er boxes, which should be saved for the purpose.-American Cultivator. Attractive Book Rack. - No room looks quite comfortable tvithout books. If a bookcase or shelf .is not desirable at least have a book jake on the table to hold half a dozen volumes. One can be had easily. Three pieces of wood are needed.* To make a good-sized rack the longest .may be two feet in length, six inches in width and an inch thick. Thc end "pieces, which are to be nailed upright .are the same width and thickness and six'"inches long. They may be round ed or finished at the top in any way ^desired. :^ .Tapestry, cretonne, chintz, satin, damask or leather may be used to cover the wood, whichever will best match the furnishings of the room. A pretty rack is covered with scarlet chintz in Japanese pattern and has pasted on thc outside of each ond a Japanese figure in relief, such as one -TJ?ys at oriental shops. Covered with dainty chintz and filled with books, such a rack will make a . spare room take on a cheer ful, homelike air.-Utica Observer, Recipes. . Cream of Celery Soup-Cut three heads of celery in small pieces and cook in one quart of water for three quarters of an hour. Press through a sieve, and pul; in double boiler with one quart of milk. Rub together three tablespoonfuls of butter and three of flour. Add to the soup and cook un til smooth; then add salt and pepper. Serve very hot. Chicken Livers and Bacon-Chick ens' livers are sold strung on small skewers, alternating with very thin slicee of bacon. Put one cup of boil .ing water in a shallow pan and sot the skewers over the top, keeping the livers just put of tho water. Set in a moderate owen and baste often with a fat that drips into the pan. Serve with a tomato sauce. Asparagus Soup-Cover one bundle of asparagus with ono quart of water, boil for five minutes and drain off the water. Add ono quart boiling water, and cook until tender. Press through a sieve and add or.-2 pint of milk. Rub together one and one-half tablespoon fuls of butter and three rounded ta blespoonfuls of Hour. Add carefully to the hot soup and stirr till smooth use a double boiler. Salt and pepper to taste. Southern Fried Chicken-The chick en must bc tender; cut in pieces for serving; roll in flour and dredge slightly with salt and pepper. Have some deep fat hot in a kettle, as for frying doughnuts; drop in the piries of chicken, a few at a time, and fry until delicate brown. Drain on paper and serve with a cream sauce poured over, and a few slices of crisp bacon for garnish. Fry these four or five, slices of bacon carefully, so that they curl and to do this they must be cut as thin as paper. To the bacon fat add one cup of thin cream and two level tablespoons of flour stirred in a little milk. Cook five minutes and pour over the chicken. Contented in Spain. And that is a charming feature of Spain-this fine capacity to imagine yourself the centre of the earth fo;r the time being and yet not be offensive, you meet a man on a donkey in the interior and get lo talking with him, and soon you learn that he has the finest donkey of the province, and so (far from envying any man he lt is who is satisfied that he is exciting the admiration if not the envy of his neighbors. If I met the same sort of an outfit in the mountains of Colorado or Nevada the cavalier would be sure to hold his burro in contempt, and would talk of the fine horse he meant to have when his mind had been de veloped. We Americans preach con tentment, but we despise the people who are contented. The true Spaniard is' thoroughly contented.-National Magazine. WHY. EYESIGHT FAILS INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FRE. QUENTLY THE CAUSE." Illuminant* of tho Past, One and All, Have Serious Defocts-Acetylene Ga?, . With Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the liyos. New York, June 20.-No ono can go Into our schools or meet a group cf children on thc street without noticing how large a number of them wear spoclacles. Thc proportion seems to increase yearly, and there are many more who ought to wear glasses. The experience of oue teacher might be du plicated by the score. She knew Alice was inattenlive and she tho. "lit she was unusually stupid. She said so to the principal and sent a note to tho mother, requesting that the child be helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class. One day after a blackboard explanation, tho teacher called upon the child and found that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic ques tioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to soe what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often and so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. Such a condition may bo caused by lack of proper food, but in our Ameri can homes it is usually due to the poor quality of tho artificial light. Tho yel low, insufficient light of thc ordinary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chim ney, is about as bad for the eyes'as can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little bettor, and even tho electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness duo to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to tho delicate nerves of sight. Tho comparatively new il luminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yoi boon found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the rays of tho sun that even*colors ap pear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene Is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased amt installed in any home at a very moderate cost, and tho acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the house whore a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gar. Acetylene is rapidly coming Into common use in liomos?, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and it is reasonable to expect that as its usc in the homo increases, there will bo fewer defective eyes, particu larly among children. Poor eyesight and Ibo many ills resulting therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of tin ? new illuminant. SAVORY BUTTER. Savory butter is made by using some desired savory ingredient in fresh butter. You buy either the un salted butter or wash from the salt ed butter all the salt possible as when you are making some kinds of paste, and then you rub into it with a silver knife or spoon such essence or flavor ing as you like. Anchovy essence, Worcestershire sauce, onion juice, chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or any one of a hundred things. Then this batter is used for spreading bread for -sandwiches or for putting on some kinds of hot meat or fish. FITSpermancntly cured.
