/ Why the Good Judge "Cussed."?
Arhe late Chief Justice John M. Reed, of
/the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, was
/ holding Court in Harrisburg. Judge Reed
/ took up his pen to write and gently tapped
' the inkstana, but the ink did not respond.
He frowned and a couple of lawyers smiled.
Then he tapped the inkstand once
more with a little more force, and essayed
to write, but the ink did not show up. By
this time he had lost his temper, and the
lawyers watched him intently. The
judge's eyebnows met in a frown, and
raising his hand he dealt the inkstand a
hard rap that forced the ink out in a stream,
and it spurted all over Judge Reed's spotless
shirt front and immaculate cuffs, completely
ruining them. Fairly boiling with
rage he jumped to his feet and bringing
his fist down with a bang he shouted:
"Damn the ink! And I say aeain, damn
the ink!" The silence thatreigned in that
court rocm for the balance of the day could
have been cut up in chunks and shoveled
out of the window. Well, judges are only
human, afte^all.?Harrisburg Telegraph.
f A Terrible Affliction.?Guy Beau/lerk
stood before the mirror in the great
/ivory bedroom of Chin castle, placing upon
/ his manly form the garments he was that
/ day to wear in the presence of his mon/
arch. Suddenly there shot from his hand
/ a glittering disk, which, sparkling for a
/ moment as it passed through a sunbeam,
buried itself in the obscurity of the rich
Turkish carpet. With a wild shriek, a
heart piercing cry, Guy Beauclerk threw
himself upon the floor and growled like a ,
groveler from Groveltown. In an instant :
his wife, the beautiful Lady Constance
Beauclerk, was at his side. She whom
even the presence of royalty itself could not
bend, now bowed in loving solicitude
over the prostrate form of her husband.
"Speak to me, Guy," she cried. "Guy,
have you lost your reason ?"
"No," he moaned faintly, "I have lost
my collar button."?Boston Transcript.
r He Couldn't Stand That.?"Hello, J
/ it's 11 o'clock!" remarked a traveling man
I as he set down the glass; guess I'll go
I home."
/ "What's the matter? Afraid of your
/ wife?"
/ "You bet I am."
f "What does she do when you're out late;
call her mother?"
"Naw. Her mother don't live at our
house."
"Does she mount guard with a rolling
pin?"
"No, she don't."
"What does she do then ?"
"Well, gentlemen, she just kicks a little

by the name of John Simpkins."
"What for?" ,
"He ran off with my daughter and stole ,
a couple of my horses to run off with."
"Certainly; we will do our best. A man
that runs off with a girl ought to be pun- j

KNEELING AT THE THRESHOLD.
I'm kneeling at the threshold,
Weary, faint and sore;
Waiting for the dawning,
For the opening of the door.
Waiting 'tillthe Master
Shall rise and bid me come
To the glory of his presence,
To the gladness of his home.
A weary path I've traveled
'Mid (iarkness, storm and strife;
Bearing many a burden,
Struggling'for my life;
But now the morn is breaking,
My toil will soon be o'er,
I'm kneeling at the threshold,
My hand is on the door.
Methiuks I hear the voices
Of the blessed as they stand,
Singing in the sunshine,
In the far off sinless land.
O, would that I were with them
Amid their shining throng,
Mingling in their worship,
Joining in their song!
The friends that started with me
Have entered long ago,
0 ie by one they left me,
Struggling with the foe;
Their pilgrimage was shorter,

How lovingly they'll hail me
When all the toil is clone!
With them the blessed angels
That know no grief or sin,

Thy time and way are best,
But I am wasted, worn and weary,

THE DIRECTOR'S WARNING.
"You know my darter Nancy is an uncommon
smart gal; she takes to larnin' as
lateral as a goshn' takes to water, and she
;an get her lessons faster than I can chaw
terbacker. I've been sendin' her to the
new teacher we hired last term, and she
was larnin' some new-fangled notions
that's never been taught in these parts
afore. One night she was a tellin' me
that the teacher had been explainin' to
her that the sun neither rose nor set.
Then I thought it was time for me to go
down to the school house and find out
about it.
So the next mornin' I went down afore
3Chool took up, and found the teacher astandin'
in tne door. Says I, 'How-deye-do?'
He was very polite and invited
me into the school-house. So I went in;
but when I thought about what he had
been teachin' it riled me up. So, says I,
Mr. McQuillister, we've employed you to
lam our young'uns, haint we?' He said |
that he would consent to that proposition.
'Well,'-says I, 'What's all this rigmarole
about 'stronomy and stuff about the sun
not risin' nor settin'; about the yearth
turnin' upside down every day, and sich
like infidel stuff you're puttin' in the
heads of your scholars?' Then says he,
'Come to the black-board, and I'll draw
you a diaphram of the solar cistern, so
you can readily understand it.' So he
irawed a big, round mark and put some
lots inside of it, and a great big white
spot in the middle of 'em.
., ???? Vir. enn ia nincifv-fiVP
llUVYj oajfo no) vuv wmu -v ?...wV
millions of miles from the yearth, and?'
'Stop,' says I, how do you know that?
Who's been thar to measure it? What
surveyor ever drug his chain over that
route, I'd like to know? 'Tain't so; and
it's a whoppin' big humbug,' say I. Says
he, 'It's universally believed by eddy:ated
people and scientifickers have proved
it.' Says I, 'They don't know nuthin'
ibout it; not a bit more nor I do, and
they've been no cluster to the sun than I
hev. It's agin nater, sense and Scripter
to say that the sun don't rise and set, for
ther's a tex' which maybe you've seed if
you ever read the Bible, which I can't
scarcely believe you ever did, that says,
"from the risin' of the sun to the goin'
down thereof." And see here, young
man, if you can't Wach the children something
better than sich talk and infidel doctrine,
you might as well look out for another
settlement where they hain't got no
ohurches nor never read the Bible. He
said he would not quarrel with me, as
different men held different views, and he
wanted to do what was right if he knew it.
He asked me to stay awhile and hear the
children recite, so I took a cheer, and sot
down and I heerd and seed a great deal
that I didn't like, by no manner or means.
I found that he was tryin' to larn Nancy
things entirely out the line of eddycation ;
and, as I think, highly unproper. Fust,
I heerd one class say their lesson. They
was a-spellin', and I thought, spelled quite
exceedingly. Then come Nancy's turn to
say her lesson. She said it very spry, but
I was shockt, and determined that she
should leave that school. I have heerd
that grammar was an uncommon fine
study, but I don't want no more grammar
around my house. The lesson that Nancy
said was nuthin' but the foolishest kind of
talk, the ridiclest luv talk you ever seed.
She got up and the fust word that she said
was. 'I luv!' I look right hard at her for
doiu' so improper, but'she went right on
and said "Thou lovest, he loves;" love,
love and nothin' but love. She said one
time, 'I did love.' Says I, 'who did you
love?' Then the scholars laughed, but I
wasn't to be put off, and I says, 'Who did
you loye, Nancy? I want to know ; who
did you love?' The schoolmaster, Mr.
McQuillister, interfered, and said he would
explain when Nancy finished her lesson.
This sorter pacified me, and Nancy went
on with her awful love talk. It got wuss
andwussevery minute. Biineby she said,
'I might, could, would or should love.'
I stopped and said I reckoned I'd see
about that and told her to walk out of that
house. The schoolmaster tried to interfere,
but I wouldn't let him say a word.
He said I was a fool, and I kuockt him
down and made him holler in short order.
I talked the straight thing to him ; I told
him I'd show him how he'd lam my
darter grammar.
I got the nabers together and we sent
Mr. McQuillistei off in a hurry, and I
reckon thar'l be no more grammar teachin'
in these parts soon. If you know any
rather oldish man in your region that
don't teach grammar we would be glad if
you'd send him up. But in the future
we'll be keerful how we employ men.
Young schoolmasters won't do, especially
them that teaches grammar. It's a bad
thing for morils."
VENTILATION.
If two persons are to occupy a sleeping
room together for a night, let them be
weighed upon retiring, and then again in
the morning, and they will find that the
actual weight is at least one pound less in
the morning. Frequently there will be a
loss of two or more pounds, and the average
loss throughout the year will be more
than a pound. That is, during the night
there is a loss of a pound of matter which
has gone off from the body, partly through
the lungs and partly through the pores in
the skin. The escaped material is carbonic
acid gas and decayed animal matter, or
poisonous exhalations. This is diffused
through the air in part, and in part absorb
ed by the bed-clothes. If a single ounce
of wood or cotton be burned in a room, it
will so completely saturate the air with
smoke that one can hardly breathe, though
there can be but an ounce of foreign matter
in the air. If an ounce of cotton be
burned every half hour during the night,
the air will be continuously saturated with
smoke, unless there is an outlet for it. ;
Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus
formed are far less dangerous or poisonous
than the sixteen ounces of exhalations
from the lungs and bodies of two persons
who have lost a pound in weight during
the eight hours of sleeping, for while the j
dry smoke is mainly taken into the lungs,
the damp odors from the body are absorbed
both into the lungs and into the pores of I
the entire body. I
Nothing stronger can be said to prove j
the necessity for ventilation in bedrooms, I
and of thoroughly airing the sheets, coverlets
and mattresses in the morning before
putting them into the form of a neatlymade
bed. Children more than any others j
suffer from bad air. The restless tossing |
and muttering, the disturbed sleep, ail j
?ive strong evidences of the effects of bad i
air. This is further confirmed by the j
dull eye, stupid expression, languid move
ments, and unrefreshed feeling which are
visible in the morning. Every house
should be well ventilated, the body suffl-1
ciently covered with warm, loose, suitable
clothing, and be sure the sleep will be
sound and refreshing and will be manifested
in the bright eye and vigorous growth
and action.
Bacon at Four Cents.?J. F. C. DuPre
knows all about farming, and his opinion
is entitled to respect. He says that hogs
can be raised in this section at an average
of four cents a pound net. This calculation
is made upon the supposition that the
hogs are to be fed on corn at $1 per bushel.
It is no fancy estimate, but Mr. DuPre has
put the plan into execution and succeeded.
He gives these figures on hogs that will
weigh 350 or 400 pounds. Smaller hogs
will cost more. He puts his hogs into a
pen about forty feet square and in summer
furnishes them with a shelter and a
place to wallow in, and then gives them
pure water and plenty of corn. With such
treatment he can easily run a hog up to
350 or 400 pounds at au average of four
cents per pound.
To-day bacon is selling in town at ten
cents per pound and ham at sixteen cents.
Lard goes for ten cents and is adulterated
with "crude cotton-seed oil. If a man
would raise his own hams lie would save
twelve cents on each pound and six cents
a pound on bacon. Is there any reason
why our farmers should not raise their
own bacon when there is such a saving in
doing so? How can a country expect to
prosper when it persists in such folly as
this unnecessary expenditure of money
for one of the prime necessities of life?
Cotton at the present prices will not make
up for this leak. The country must go
from bad to worse until it will finally collapse.
Your neighbor who raises his own
meat is prosperous. You can be in the
same condition if you will only follow
good advice. Suppose you try it for three
years.?Abbeville Medium.
How Sugar Cane Grows.:?Sugar cane
grows during about five and a half months.
It makes its appearance say on the 1st of
April, and by the 15th of September it has
done reaching upward. In that time it
grows or ought to grow 12 feet, counting
the white joints and the top flag or tuft.
On the 1st of Julyitis some four feet high,
so that from then urtil the 15th of September
itgrows 96 inches. During August,
however, it reaches the largest rate of increase,
the ordinary growth during that
month, under favorable conditions, being
40 inches. August is known as the "growing
month.". It is then thatcultivation is
over and the ground thoroughly shaded
by the foliage. It is then that the daily
showers stimulate the process of vegetation
until one can almost literally "see it"
shoot upward. It is on clear, still nights
during this month that you can hear that
light, cracking sound all over a healthy
field of cane. It is the month when, instead
of growing three-fourths of an inch
per day, good cane ought to grow one inch
[ and a half.?New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Follow Our Formula.?We copy the
following from the Scotland Neck, (N. C.,)

Total ?77 00
The above ingredients well mixed and
moistened as mixed and covered, and let
lie four months before use, will make thirteen
tons of manure worth more than ten
tons of any standard fertilizer we have
ever seen. Use 400 pounds or 500 pounds
per acre in the drill on ground rested the

we will guarantee two hundred per cent,

From a Girl's Composition on Boys.
Boys is men that have not got as big as
their papas, and girls is young women that
will be young ladies by and by. Man was
made before women. When God looked
at Adam He said to Himself. "Well, I
guess I can do better than that if I try
again," and then he made Eve. God
liked Eve so much better than He did
Adam that there has been more women
in the world than men ever since. Boys"
are a trouble. They are very wearing on
everything but soap. If I could have my
way half the boys in the world would be
little girls and the other half would be
dolls. My papa is so nice to me that I
guess he must have been a girl when he
was a little boy.

THE DARKEST HOUR.
For a period of four years I've been a victim of a
very severe and agonizing case of Salt Rheum, which
affected my hands to such an extent that tliey almost
became a burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying, compelling
me to keep it covered all the time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations,
but instead of benefitting iny condition, they all
seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the
miserable disease, until I had about given up all hope.
Hut thank heaven, the "darkest hour Is just before
day," and I am rejoiced to know that a positive cure
lias been found, which is known as IS. 1). IS.?ISolunic

My family ail rejoice at its magical curative powers
in giving me relief. My hand has been cured and
resembles a burnt surface after being healed over, more
than anything else. It has also cured my two chllI

all previous treatment. I refer to any business house
in Moody, and to Thomas Payne, Druggist, of whom I
purchased the goods. Signed, W. A. Bryant.

FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES.
For two years I have been confined to bed with a
| loathsome form of Blood Poison, which had about eaten
me up, and I and others had no hope of a recovery.
For a while 1 could neither walk, sit down, nor lie
down,only in misery as my flesh seemed to lie falling
off my hones in pieces as big as a hen egg. My appetite
was lost, my hones ached and pained rne, anil
I friends even shunned me. I used various hlood pit
rifiers without benefit, and several physicians treated
me until large sums of money had been expended, but
| not one particle of good did any one give me.
On the 19th of February, lSSfi, Mr. F. It. Jackson
called to see if 1 was not dead, as it was thought I
could not endure my suffering much longer. He
concluded to try B. II. U. on me anil got a bottle from
Mr. ilrockington, at Beaufort, S. C., and before one
bottle had been used 1 commenced gaining strength,
my appetite improved, sores commenced healing and
when two bottles had been used I was on my feet and
walking around to the astonishment of everybody.

Messrs. Jefferys <fc Hoke, Gents:
THE Cyclone Spark Extinguisher put on my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my ginhouse
several times caught tiro from sparks, so
I had to quit running while the wind was blowing
in the direction of the gin-house. Now I
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
which way the wind blows. Haven't seen a live
spark from the engine since I have been using it.
And another good thing about it is, it can't wear
or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. I
think it a great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. I think you ought to reduce
the present high rate of insurance on gin-houses
where these extinguishers are used on the engines,
or, at least, recommend such to the companies
you represent, because I see no risk
whatever from the engine.

ELASTIC GUN WADDING?
THE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe wadding
for choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. By
the use of this wad the recoil of a gun is lessened,
the distribution of the shot is more regular,
and the range and penetration are greater.
Another advantage is that the gun is kept
cleaner than when any other wad is used. Try
them. They are put up in boxes holding 256
wads and are made in two grades. The price for
the first grade is forty cents per box ; the second
grade twenty-five cents. The first grade
should bo used over the powder?the second
grade over the shot. The first-grade wads are
from one-half to three-eights of an inch in
thickness, which makes them cheaper than any
other wad in the market, as only one of the
first-grade wads is necessary on the powder,
and one of the second-grade over the shot, to
Ejive the best results. If you use a 12 gauge
