jgrpartmrnt. JMKr"and His Wife.?There are ^^Hrods who, among their male compan^^H^like to have it supposed that they are a little tyrannical at home. One such ^Vman, who had two or three friends at his house one evening, remarked, as they ~ were chatting together comfortably at a rather late hour: "Yes, I do what I like at home. My wife, she has to bend to my will, I can tell Jou. In my own house I'm a regular ulius Caesar!" His wife came into the room in time to hear this last sentence. The tyrant of his household looked a little uneasy, but his wife neither frowned, nor, apparently, paid any attention to the remark. But after a moment she remarked, very positively : "Gentlemen, it is late, and Julius Caesar has got to go to bed 1" Wnereupon the husband arose, stammered his excuses and retired, leaving his guests to find their way out as best they could. It was in another household that the husband once remarked to his wife: "You know, my dear, that I'm the head of the house:" "You may be the head as much as you like," said the wife, "but I'm the neck." "The neck? 0 yes, you may be the neck if you want to, my dear." "Very well. It's the neck that turns the head whichever way it pleases, isn't it?" A Good Pound.?"Logic is logic," as Dr. Holmes very truly says; but even in logic things are not always what they seem. What looks like a right process sometimes yields a wrong result. A man presented himself at a farmbouse in a remote district of Galloway, and wished to buy a pound butter. The "ouncle weights"?whicff were usually nothing but beach stones, roughly regulated to some standard?were rummaged over and over, but the "pun-stane" was nowhere to be found. The guid wife took a long thought, till suddenly her brow brightened. "I ken how we'll manage it noo!" she exclaimed. "Thegude man brought hame a pair o' tangs yestreen which weighed in the smithy just twa puu. Sae stand by, and I'll soon weigh your butter." Producing the tongs in triumph, she put one leg in the scale, and let the other hang out. The beam got its swing, and the stranger, very well pleased, we may presume, carried off his pound (?) of butter. I?- "Nervy," called an old negro, addressing his wife, "get yo' black crape an' tie it on de latch. Quick, now, 'fo it's too late." A white man who happened to be near asked if any one was dead. "No, sah." "Then why do you tie crape on your door-latch ?" "Because," the old ne-# gro replied, "yander comes a man dat I owe. When he comer up and sees dis , crape he'll think somebody's dead, and won't bother me. After he goes erway I'll take it off. 0 I tell you dat dar ain't but one way to git erlong in dis yere worl'." "And what way is that?" "W'y, sah, dat way is ter git erlong de bes' way you kin, an' de bes' way for me at de present is ter put crape on my do'." A short time ago, says the Albany Journal, an order was received at the postoffice, from Washington, to return uncalled for postal cards to the writer in the same way that letters have been sent back. The clerk who was assigned to this task turned over each card, read the writer's name, and put it after the words "Return to," on the face of the card. The distributing clerk was astonished to find several , of the cards endorsed with directions like these: "Return to Father," "Return to Silas," "Return to YourOwnest Own," etc. Now, whenever the clerk makes his appearance in the office, he is greeted with cries of "Return to mamma." "Were you in the war, Mr. Vacuum?" "Yas, indeed, Mith Twinket." "And were you wounded ?" "Howably," "O isn't that delightful! Do tell me about it." "Thertainly, mith. It wath thith way.

J&? A certain painter was bragging of I his wonderful command of color to a / friend, one day. His friend did not seem to take it quite all in.

"Tabitha" sends the Indiana Farmer this very interesting bill of particulars: "Aunt Patience says in your paper, quoting from some one: 'A woman may love her husband devotedly, may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country, for him ; but melancholy fact, if she fails to make his home comfortable, his heart will inevitably escape her.' That must have been written for an Indian squaw and not for us farmers' wives! How can I make our home comfortable when there is not a closet in the house, and only seven eightpenny nails in the wall to hang our clothes on, and there is not a blind on the windows to keeD out the hot sunshine, and there is no cistern for hot water, and the big kettle that 1 made 'broke water' in ie cracked, and the pump leaks and has to be primed every time I want a little water, and there is a hole in the garden fence and the hogs got in and destroyed my truck 1 Don't tell me my husband can't afford tc furnish better! Hasn't he got a new bam and painted it red; and a new reaper, and don't he ride when he rakes hay; and didn't he pay a nice little sum for a 'chilled Elow' the other day?1 I guess I chilled ira when I showed him my bread pan with a hole in it, stopped up with an old rag! I am tired of this 'railing out' at us women all the time, as if we didn't do the best we can. If my husband would sell that Golddust colt that he paid $50 foi before it was ten days old, and put blinds on our house and paint 'em green, and make me a pantry and a sink and a cistern, and throw away that the old Resor stove that hasn't a whole lid to it, and make the house only half as comfortable for me as the stable is for the colt, my heart would sing for joy; and, Mr. Editor, I want you to put it in your paper and say theft we farmers' wives are shamefully misused by our husbands' neglect of necessaries ana conveniences about our houses, and dc you put a head line to the piece, saying something about a colt or horse or cow, and then they will read it, for it is only the stock pieces that they read in youi paper." The editor of the Farmer did as requested and obligingly headed the article "A Kicking Cow," so that Hoosier husbands would read it." How to Preserve a Piano.?It is evident that if the piano is to remain in good order for many years, good care musl be taken of it. The instrument should be closed when not in use, in order to prevenl the collection of dust, pins, etc., on the sounding-board. However, it must not be left closed for a period of several months or longer, but be opened occasionally, and daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else the ivory may turn yellow. And hard substances, no matter how small, dropped inside the piano, will cause a rattling, jarring noise. It is In every case desirable that an india-rubber or cloth cover should protect the instrument from bruises and scratches. The piano should not be placed in a damp room, or left open in a draft ol air. Dampness is its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings and tuning-pins to rust, the cloth used in the construction of the keys and action to swell, whereby the mechanism will move sluggishly, 01 often stick altogether. This occurs chiefly in the rainy season ; and the best pianos, made of the most thoroughly-seasoned material, are necessarily affected by dampness, the absorption being rapid. Extreme heat is scarcely less injurious. The piano should not be placed very near to an open fire or heated stoves. Moths are very destructive to the cloth and felt used in the pianos, and may be kept out of it by placing a lump of camphor, wrapj&d in soft paper, in the inside corner, care being taken to renew it from time to time. Many persons are unaware of the great importance of having their pianos kept in ordef, and only tuned by a competent tuner. A new piano should be tuned at least once every two or three months during the first year, and at longer intervals afterward. Ventilate Sleeping Apartments. As soon as the occupants have left the room, the bedclothes should be entirely removed from the bed and hung upon the clothes-horse or the backs of chairs, the bed shaken up, and all curtains, il used, drawn closely to the bed-posts. The windows should then be opened, both at top and bottom:"T'hwy yilOUlR P&BJAVn in summer, or in very fine weather, until a little before sunset; in very sultry aroathar onmo nntsida air mav he admitted all night. In winter and early spring, windows should remain open until a little after midday, when the warmth of the air is greatest, and then closed. In this way the air of the best portion of the day is shut in and kept for respiration during the night, when the external air is at the worst. A fire should be lighted for a few hours during the afternoon, in very damp or cold weather, so as to dry the air which has been shut in. This is the only way in which the exhalation from the bedclothes can be got rid of in such a state of the atmosphere, and thesweetness and purity of the clothing and other material, which are kept in wardrobes secured. What Smoking Does for Boys.?A certain doctor, struck with the large number of boys under fifteen years of age he observed smoking, was led to inquire into the effect the habit had upon the general health. He took for his purpose thirtyeight, aged from nine to fifteen, and carefully examined them. In twenty-seven he discovered injurious traces of the habit. In twenty-two there were various disorders of the circulation and digestion, palpitation of the heart, and a more or less taste for strong drink. In twelve there were frequent bleedings of the nose, ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve had slight ulceration of the mucous membrane of the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing the use of tobacco for some days. The doctor treated them all for weakness, but with little effect until the smoking was discontinued, when health and strength were soon restored. Now, this is no "old wife's tale," as these facts are given under the authority of the British Medical Monthly. Greasing Boots.?After much experimentation on leather I came to the conclusion years ago that neither lard nor resin were suitable "Yor boots or shoes. No grease I ever tried could pass through leather with such facility as lard. It will not remain in leather but immediately passes through and may be found upon the stockings. Itesin applied occasionally will render leather so hard that boots become very unsatisfactory. I have had them to acquire the rigidity of wood. I consider the best application to consist of castor oil and tallow, with a preponderance of the oil. Neat's foot oil is perhaps nearly equal to the castor oil, and may be used with tallow in similar proportions. If the soles of new shoes or boots are well saturated with a mixture of oil and resin melted together, or oil, resin and beeswax, I am convinced that they will wear much better. But I would not have either resin or beeswax applied to the upper leather.?[W. G. B. Bacon Fried in Batter.?There is no more appetizing breakfast in the world than thin rashers of sweet bacon fried just enough, and served with fresh eggs, also fried. To vary it a little we sometimes fry it in batter, and when properly done this Is an excellent dish. The bacon should be cooked as for serving plain, drained of all grease, and put on a hot plate and set in a warm place. The batter, which should be made while the bacon is frying, is prepared as follows: Take half a cup of flour, mix it smooth with a little milk (four or five spoonfuls), beat one egg and add a little salt; let the fat left in the pan get quite hot, and with a fork dip each piece in the batter and fry until a pale brown on both sides, cooking only three or four pieces at a time. They should be Hp-ht and nuffv. and must be eaten at once. For Poisons.?If any poison is swallowed, drink instantly a half glass of cool water, with a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and ground mustard stirred into it. This vomits as soon as it reaches the stomach. But, for fear some of the poison may remain, swallow the white of one or two eggs, or drink a cup of strong coffee? these two being antidotes for a greater number of poisons than any other dozen of articles known, with the advantage of their being usually on hand; if not, a pint of sweet oil, lamp oil, drippings, melted butter or lard, are good substitutes, especially if they vomit quickly. Hot Lemonade for Colds.?Hot lemonade is one of the best remedies for colds, as it acts promptly and efficiently, and has no unpleasant after-effects. One lemon should be properly squeezed, cut in slices, put with sugar, and covered with half a pint of boiling water. Drink just before g<Ag to bed, and do not expose yourself U?ollowing day. IIa.

"Can you give me any work, please, sir?" said a neat but poorly clad boy of twelve years of age to a New York mer1 chant. "Got all the help I need," was the short and sharp reply of the busy city merchant. "It's hard," replied the disappointed lad, "that a boy that is willing to work can't get a job in this large city." "Why did you come to this^ity, my boy?" asked the merchant, glancing at the despondent lad. "Because I want to earn enough to help support ray mothei%nd sister." This reply, with y|e peculiar manner of the boy, somewhat^ioved the h&ijsh merchant, and he asked: "Whatare you willing to do?" "Anything, sir. Anything in the world that I can do well." "Well, go and take hold, and pile up the empty boxes and pick up the loose papers, etc., down in the cellar." In less time than it takes me to tell it, the boy was hard at work picking up the loose papers and piling up the empty boxes, and cleaning up in general.

One day during one of the trying financial troubles through which our country has passed, a New York merchant sat in his counting-room studying how to steer his bark amid the threatening breakers. An intimate associate of his entered, who was also suffering reverses. He was about forty years of age; possessed of a noble form and great business capacity. Without noticing the offered salutation of the merchant in the counting-room, the visitor broke forth in the following language : "Well, I am going to give it up ; it is no use to struggle any longer. I thought I had got through the worst of it, and had already weathered the point, but the blow has come. My notes have gone to protest; my credit is ruined. I have just left my store for good, and the next you hear of me will be from the morgue." The merchant was astonished and bewildered at these words spoken by his associate. He sprang up, and forgetting his own troubles for the moment, seized the hand of his desponding friend, and shouted aloud: "Why, man, what is the matter with you? Are you a coward ? Have you forgotten your wife and children ? Have you forgotten God? Do you believe that God will permit anything to come upon his people that he will not give them strength to bear? You?a professing Christian in the prime of life! how can you turn your back upon wife, children and God, because you have been disappointed in business?" He dropped into a vacant chair and sat in silence a few minutes; presently he arose, and with tears, said: r- ^thEtfryottf Y'mr+nrte will never be guilty of this again." He returned to his businessj made a favorable arrangement with his creditors, and was saved. How much may be accomplished by a few brave words from one who cherishes an unshaken trust in God's overruling providence! The beneficial results are two-fold?an unconscious deliverance from our own depression, and the rescue of others from a similar condition, possibly from suicide itself. Woman Coming to Honor.?At the trial of a minister before an ecclesiastical court in Brooklyn, one of the parties resented the application of the term "woman" to one of the witnesses as in some sense disrespectful. He was prom ply met by citations from the Bible, showing that it was there used as a perfectly inoffensive name. But it was not necessary to go nearly as far back as that for a defense of the term. The truth is, that the word "lady," except when distinctly used as a term of classification?that is to distinguish a particular woman?has now become in best circles, both in this country and England, an appellation with a little burlesque in it, owing to its general adoption by women in humble positions in life. The cooks, laundresses, scrubbing women, especially among the colorea people, have all adopted it as a generic term describing a person of the female sex, without reference to her manners or position. In other words, they use it instead of "woman," and consequently, to those who remember its original signification, it is a little ludicrous, because it is used most invariably to denote refinement of person and manners. "Woman" has, therefore, come once more into vogue as the ordinary designation of the women who used to be called "ladies," without, however, driving "lady" out of use as a term of classification. In this the English speaking usage has simply been assimilated to that of the French, who have always kept "femme" as a perfectly respectful term. In fact, great particularity in speaking of every man and woman of one's acquaintance as a "gentleman" and "lady," has now become almost a mark of rusticity and, in grave cases, of which is called "caddishness." A Polite Little Boy.?Sixty or seventy years ago children were trained both at home and at school to be far more mannerly than they are now. No little boy ever thought of going into a neighbor's house without pulling off his hat, tucking it under his arm, and making a bow. "Making your manners," they called it^ Little Calvin had been thus trained, and though only three or four years old, always did so when he went anywhere. He had never been to church, and as his mother was making him a suit of clothes that he might go, apuzzlingquestion came into his little head, "Ought he to make his manners when he went into the church ?" He wanted to ask some one, hut like many other people, he was ashamed to ask what seemed so simple a question. The Sunday morning came, ana still he Ln/1 fnnn/1 aiif n>Lnf 4-rv /1a UrtU 1JUI 1UUUU UUb w liai IU \Jl\J 44I'll be on the safe side, anyhow," he thought to himself. 44It can't do any harm." So when fairly inside the church door, he tucked his hat under his arm, squared up, and made his manners. I dare say there were some to smile at the odd sight; but I think the good Father to whose worship the church was dedicated, was pleased with this act of politeness in the innocent little boy. A Danger.?The danger of false tenderness in trainingchildren was finely illustrated at one time in the following manner : A person who was greatly interested in entomology secured, at great pains, a fine ! specimen of an emperor moth in the larva state. Day by day he watched the little creature as he wove about him his cocoon, which is very singular in shape, much resembling a flask. Presently the time drew near for it to emerge from its wrappings, and spread its large wings of exceeding beauty. On reaching the narrow aperture of the neck of the flask, the pity of the person watching it was so awakenened to see the struggle necessary to get through that he cut the cords, thus making the passage easier. But alas! his false tenderness destroyed all the brilliant colors for which this species of moth is noted. The severe pressure was the very thing needed to cause the flow of fluids which create the marvelous hues. Its wings were small, dull in colors, and the whole development was imperfect. How often we see L __ . a result in character when parents, thinking to help a child over some hard place, rob him of strength of purpose and other qualities essential to the highest attainments in mental and spiritual life. How He Lost His Situation.?The editor of the Waynesburg(Pa.) Republican asked his nephew, "How came you, James, to lose your place?" "Well, I'll tell you," was the reply. "I had an easy berth; got my seventyfive dollars a month; had an assistant; didn't have to get down till eight in the morning; left at five; had a chance to take life easy, but gradually began to take it too easy?didn't get down until nine in the morning instead of eight; waited to smoke two cigars instead of one; grew careless of my money, used four dollars where I had been using two. a "First, I knew my salary was cut down a little, and then a little more; but I I couldn't take the hint, but fretted about my poor situation, and one morning I waked up after a night's spree, and lo! I didn't have any situation at all. But I'll tell you what I did have, uncle, I had my experience." That youth is working at forty-five dollars a month now, instead of seventy-five, but he already has six hundred dollars in the bank. Would that more of our youth might be profited by his experience.. t&F A Christmas gift should be valued not according to its money value, but by the motives which prompt the giver. If this method of valuation was universally adopted, a great deal of unnecessary expense would be avoided. Gifts at Christmas should be received as evidences of love or friendship, else the humble present of a friend of narrow fortune would lose its preciousness, while the more costly one of the millionaire would be regarded as of ' value beyond Jubies. ft is we fact that 'gafclrare the'estimates too often put on Christmas offerings. 1ST- If there is any class of persons who need tenderness and encouragement it is the tired mothers; weary limbs and heart and puzzled brains all attest to the fact. There ought to be special privileges granted to tired mothers as much as to invalids. Those who have passed through this trying ordeal know how to sympathize, know how to excuse many of the shortcomings of those who are passing through the narrow gateways, the thorny pathways, the rough highways, where temptation holds high revelry and the angel of peace sits in shadow. Lies and Liars.?Of all the cowardly, unmanly acts in the whole range of sin, a lie is the most contem pti ble. To a healthy mind a deliberate lie is imposssible ; it is absolutely incompatible with an honest self-respect. No matter whether the lie he discovered or not. the utterer is con scious that he is a liar when he looks at himself in the mirror. The man who lies, and has ceased either to feel shame or sorrow for falsehood, is the most degraded being imaginable?far beneath the maniac and the idiot. He can only be execrated or pitied. ^ How Boys Can Make Money.?Bussell Sage's advice: "By (1) getting a position ; (2) keeping his mouth shut; (3) observing; (4) being faithful; (S) making his employer think that he would be lost in a fog without him ; (6) and be polite. That is a good way to begin after he gets there. If he lives up to these rules he will not want a friend at court for any length of time?in fact, not at all." Wills, Won'ts and Can'ts.?There are many kinds of boys and girls in the world, but there are three kinds which deserve special mention. They have been called the "Wills," the "Won'ts," and the "Can'ts." The "Wilte" accomplish everything, the "Won'ts" oppose everything, and the "Can'ts" fail in everything. mc ^AKlK6 POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

ProNpectuM for 188?. THE features of THE ENQUIRER, which have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five years, will be continued in the future, while new attractions will be added, it being our de- ' termination to increase and maintain the popularity of the paper with the masses of the people, and especially those of York county. With this idea in view, we shall devote especial attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by York countv?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and in employing our columns in the development of these. The completion of an important line of railroad, traversing the entire length from east to -vest of the county, will add new life and animation all along the line of its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible. throughout the county. It renders possible the inauguration of new enterprises and the better development of the hidden wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of which THE ENQUIRER, as in the past, will ever be a ready and cheerful instrument. OUR PREMIUM PLAN. Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the case that the premiums we have heretofore of- ' fered for the largest clubs are not suited to the wants of those to whom they "are awarded, we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS for the five largest clubs as follows: For the largest club for one year, $35; for the < second largest clubs, $25; for the third largest club, $15; for the fourth largest club, $10; and for the fifth largest club, $5. CONDITIONS. These cash premiums will be awarded on the following conditions: To the persons getting up clubs oi subscribers to the ENQUIRER, at $1.75 per annum for each subscriber, will be awarded the premi ums as stated above. The time for completing the clubs under the above offer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1889. Competitors may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence whenever the name is handed in. The money for each subscriber is expected to be paid at the time the name is entered upon our books, and no name will be counted in competition for a premium and no premium delivered until the subscription priqe has been paid. To persons who make up clubs of ten or more names, but who may fail to obtain one of ,tl? tthoxftgtswlmnfli thaBWOJIfr RER for one year free of charg^ and to those who send a club of twenty or more names, but who may fail to get a premium, we will forward the ENQUIRER one year free of charge, and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspa6er or monthly magazine -published in the nited States, the publication to be selected by the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will give a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year for a club of ten, and for all names over ten in such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name. It is not necessary that the names of a club should all be at the same post office. Names may be taken at any number of places. One name fbr two years will be equivalent to two names for one year each. i All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them. We will be resDonsible for the safe transmis sion of money only when sent by draft, registered letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville post office. In sending names, write plainly, giving postoffice, county and State. All subscriptions will be discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for. A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker, who will be credited with every name sent, so that the number sent by any one person can be ascertained at a moment's notice. Persons who commence making clubs will not be permitted, after the names have been entered on our books, to transfer the names to another club-maker's list. jZSy- The time in which additions may be made to clubs under this proposition, will expire on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1889. Therefore, persons who desire the benefit of club rates, must subscribe and pay for the paper before that date, as after the expiration of that time it will not be furnished for less than $2.00 unless new clubs are formed. All letters should be addressed to L. M. GRIST, Yorkville, S. C. TAX RETURNS FOR 1888-9. AUDITOR'S OFFICE, YORK COUNTY, Yorkville, S. C., December 1st, 1888.
