tumorous Department. A QUICK-WITTED MINISTER. The Courier says the following is a true story: Two young ladies of this city were desirous of joining one of the prominent Episcopalian churches, but as they had been taught that immersion was the true form of baptism, they wished, on joining themselves to the church, to be baptized in that manner. They stated their wishes to - the pastor, and he expressed himself entirely willing to administer the ordinance in that form; but as there were no conveniences in the church edifice for the purpose, it would be necessary to go outside?to the frog pond on the common, or the pretty lakelet on the public garden. They looked upon this proposal with horror. They could not think of it, could not think of making such a spectacle of themselves. "Then," said the genial pastor, "you had better go to a Baptist for the purpose; and after baptism, if you desire it, you will be received into the Episcopalian fold." The ladies were delighted with the sug* - J : l ?11~ J gesuon, ana as soon as cuuveuieiu laueu upon a prominent Baptist pastor and made known their wish to be baptized. "Certainly," replied the pastor, "but there are certain preliminaries to be gone through before baptism, certain preparations tobe made. It is a solemn ordinance, one not to be lightly submitted to?and, * by the way, it,appears to me strange that you have not previously consulted me, that the preparations so necessary?" "0 we are already prepared," said the young ladies. "Already prepared ?" "Yes; we ao not intend to become members of your church ; we only want to be baptized, as we believe immersion to be the proper form of baptism. We are going to join the E .scopalian church." "O that's it," said the pastor, rising; "then permit me to inform you, my dear young ladies, that we do not wash Episcopalian sheep here." ' HE WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ANGELS. "Auntie, did the angels carry Mrs. Jones up to heaven ?" "Why, Charlie, I think so. Mrs. Jones was a good woman." "She was an awfully fat woman. The ftBgels must be strong." Passengers in the train from Woodlawn turned to look at the six-year-old boy who was bent on getting information. He was a manly little fellow, with a bright, pretty face that showed intelligence beyond his years. His young aunt seemed to be anxious to stop the flow of questions, but he was bouna to know something more about angels then and there. "How do you know there are angels, Auntie?" "Because we read about them, wait until you can read and then you will know more about them." "But why?why don't we see the angels? Did you ever see an angel ?" "Hush I Don't talk so loud, Charlie. Of course, we don't see them, but we see their pictures. Don't you remember the angels in that pretty book that Uncle John sent you ?" "Yes, but?but where do the angels get their pictures taken, Auntie ? Is there a gallery where they take pictures of angels?only just of angels?" "Perhapsso. I don't know." *? !? ? tlvsv Anr?Ala r\n f nn ' lllt/U, W uy UUU 1/ LUO augcio |4Ul uu more clothes when they have their pictures taken ?" "0, Charlie! Please be quiet. You will make Auntie's headache." Charlie meditated in silence for a few minutes, and remarked: "I don't know why Mr. Brown said you were his ?" "Williamsbridge!" shouted the brakeman, and as the train came to a standstill the small boy got a shaking and a whispered warning that stopped all further talk about angels. Court-Room Wit.?None of the professions seem more devoted to ready wit than that of the law. It is related that Sir Nicholas Bacon was about to pass judgment upon a man who had been guilty of robbery, at that time punishable by death, but the culprit pleaded for mercy on the ground that he was related to the judge. "How is that?" he asked. "My lord," was the reply, "if your name is Bacon, mine is Hog, and hog and bacon have always been considered akin." "That is true," answered Sir Nicholas; "but as hog is not bacon until it has been hung, until you are hanged you are no relation of mine." Still more to the point is this of two opposing barristers. The lawyer for the defense wasso severe upon the prosecutor that the latter rose and asked, "Does the learned counsel think me a fool ?" The retort was prompt: "My friend wishes to know if I consider him a fool; and in reply to his question I can only say that I am not prepared to deny it." There are many instances of passages of arms between bench and bar, but this one may be new to most of our readers. At the close of a lengthened and bitter wran gle between a judge and a prominent counsel, the former said, "Well, sir, if you don't know how to conduct yourself as a gentleman, I am sure I can't teach you." To which the barrister mildly replied, "That is so, my lord." Did not Believe in Extravagance. A well-known up-town undertaker a few evenings ago was telling a story regarding an Irish assistant that he had in his employ a few months since. "Shortly after the engagement of this assistant," said the undertaker, "I thought it well to give him a practical lesson in business, and I detailed him to the care of a Jewish funeral. Upon his return from the event I, with considerable interest, asked how it went." "Foine, foine," said he, "but those Jews are quare people, surely." "In what way are they queer?" sai^L I. "Well, don't ye see, when the corpse was in the coffin some old feller came up and put a half dollar in its hand. Now what was that for, I dunno?" "O that," I said, "was on account of a tradition that Jews have about crossing the river Jordan before they reach heaven, and the money is to pay their ferriage." "Well, is that so? Then, bedad, that duck will have to shwim, for I swiped the fifty cents before they screwed down the Hd." _ The Colonel's Suit.?Some years ago, says the Minneapolis Tribune, when Judge H. D. Hicks was not as prosperous as he has been in late years, he owed a little bill of twenty-five dollars to a well-known firm, and one of the members came to see him about it. The judge, then a plain colonel, lately returned from the war, frankly confessed that he was "busted," and asaed for an extension of time. "Can't do it" said the gentleman; "if you don't pay it we'll have to sue you." "How can I pay when I haven't got the money?" a9ked the colonel; "all I want is a little time." "Well, we'll have to bring suit," said the gentleman, as he started off. "Hold on," said the colonel, as a bright idea struck him; "if you must sue me, why not give me the case? You will have to employ some lawyer." "That's so," said the gentleman; "all right, bring the suit." Colonel Hicks brought the suit, confessed judgment, sent in his bill for fifty dollars attorney's fees, collected it, and then settled the judgment. From that time on he had all the firm's law business. A Pretty Sharp Tit for Tat.?She was an old lady from the country, with an eye like an eagle, and a nose very much like the beak of that glorious bird of libA-ft. Cho koH hoon hrrniorht l'ntfl Pdlirt.

But the old lady from the start seemed to have the best of it. She was much his superior at Yankee wit and repartee. This at last nettled the little disciple of Blackstone, and he exclaimed, angrily: "Madam, you have brass enough in your face to make a large-sized kettle." "Quite likely," said the old lady, while her wonderful eyes blazed with wrath, "and it comforts me somewhat to know that you have sap enough in jour head to fill it." On board an ocean steamer a gentleman wished to help a lady, who was of an inquiring mind, to comprehend the prin. ciple of the steam engine. This is how he cleared away the difficulties; "Why, you see, ma'am," quoth he, "it'sjustone thing goes up, and then another thing comes down, and then they let the smoke on, which makes the wheels go round. That's what they call the hydraulic principle. It's quite simple when you know it." "Law me, I never understood it before? But, then, I never had it properly explained," replied the fair listener. ?he (farm and ^ivtsidc. KEEPING ACCOUNTS WITH THE COWS. I was milking in the barn when young I Squire Lawton came in. I lifted up the pail and hung it on the spring balance. j "Just 13 pounds," said I, and marked it on the little board on the wall just op- . posite where the cow stood. "What do you do that for?" said he. "Why, I always count, measure and i weigh everything on the faro ," said I. I "My father taught me that when I was a boy." i "But what's the use, here ?" said he. ( "You have all the milk and no one can cheat you." . "Don't be sure of that. Now look here. J You see this board; that's Topsy's milk accounts. Here you see is 17 pounds, 18 pounds, and then comes 11 pounds. That struck me all of a heap, and I went right I there and then to Topsy to see what u as < the matter. Her nose was hot and dry, and her mouth was wet and she was not ( eating. I soon found what was the mat- ( ter; she had been chewing the fence rails, and a big splinter was between her teeth and her jaw was swelled badly. Now I mightn't have found that out for two or three days if I hadn't weighed the milk. But you see, I soon set her right again. I 1 saved a good deal of trouble by it. And then, look here. Here is 13* pounds. 17 ] J - 1 Jr. 11 tvAnn/la 1 I V\/\M n f\ Q ] POUHUS, 1 m puUIJU9| il |JUUUU0f n pvuuuot i , and here you see is only 6* pounds, 7 < Sounds, 7? pounds, 5 pounds, o? pounds, [ow look nt that cow.

Then you see these glasses, < these are to measure the cream by. A * cow that won't give fifteen per cent, of ' cream won't pay to keep, with the feed I give them ; and a heifer that won't make | ten per cent, won't pay to raise, and is only good to sell to those who sell milk. Now, ] how could I tell all this if I didn't weigh and measure? See here, this is the feed , measure; one of these goes on to the feed ' for every cow at every meal, and that scoop ( holds just two quarts. This basket holds ' a full bushel, and every cow gets that full every feed. And two or three get a scoop- i ! ful more. You see it's all brought dowit i to a rule. No thumb rule either, but < weight and measure every time. A man i that don't weigh and measure everything about a dairy can't tell what he is doing, ( and it is just as easy for him to lose a dol- , ! lar a day as" it is to fall off a log.

It is a mistake, made by , a great many farmers, in considering a young brood sow preferable to an old, j matured one. A great many adopt the plan of letting the sow have one litter of pigs as soon as possible, then fatten and 1 sell her. This sometimes seems to pay, but as a rule it must not be adopted, for the ! stock is sure to degenerate and become weak and puny. If you wish to have fine, 1 large and healthy pigs as well as large litters, do not use young sows, and do not j commence to breed your sows too soon. ' T\"V fkom otmn T1' hon thftXT Q rp i Jjyj IJUt U1CCU lUOlli, utv-u niiwu hjvj i%?v , well grown, before they are at least six to I eight months old, for they will be better < able to suckle their young when they come than if the young porkers made their appearance when the mother sow was only about six moths old, as is too often the case on many farms; this being usually brought about by permitting the sows to , run in the same enclosure with the boar. As^a rule, the older a sow?is the larger the litters will be, while the pigs will be finer 1 and better every way. In the production j of hogs, money can be turned oftener, I i believe, than with any other kind of stock. 1 There is no other way that can be disposed ' of on the farm to as good advantage as to put it into hogs, even at onsiderable less ( than the now current range of prices, j Since our pork trade with all the leading ( European markets has become firmly es- i tablished, we have a good hog market j every month in the year, and this condition of affairs makes hog raising a permanently reliable business. w. o. k. 1 Cautiously.?The season of the year * is at hand for many farmers to make their 1 arrangements for next year's programme 1 and supplies. In this connection we want to again make our oft-repeated exhortation t on tne question of debt-making. Go slow, j be careful, plan well and on the safe side, g let well enough alone, stop and think, see ? if you can't get along without it or for less, c exercise wisdom and caution, look out for t No. 1. If you are obliged to contract a deht and snend vour earnings in advance. let the debt be just as small as you can possibly get it, don't make it due and payable before you can harvest your crop, resolve that you will have a good share of what you make left after the debt is paid. That is the business principle. Live within your income, comeout ahead at all hazards, lay the foundation of future independence, hold up your head, look facts in the face, accept tho situation and make the best of it. Few men know their own strength and capabilities until they make a determined trial of them in dead earnest. The future is full of hope to those who possess ? a good mixture of courage and common t sense, A man's success depends very ( much on his will or "grit." The Alliance t is one of the best institutions that has ever i onmftthf* farmer's wav. but it cannot and ( will not render valuable help to him who does not help himself. To those who first s help themselves it proves a powerful aux- g iliary and defense against oppression and ^ cheating.?[Cotton Plant. g Eating Lemons.?A good deal has been [ said lately, through the papers, about the healthfulness of lemons. The latest advice how to use them so they will do the ? most good runs as follows: Most people t know the benefit of lemonade before break- I fast, but few know how it is m ire thau 1 doubled by taking another at night also, f The way to get the better of a bilious sys- I tern without blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of one two or three lemons, as , the appetite craves, in as much ice water ] as it is pleasant to drink, without sugar, t before going to bed. In the morning, on \ rising, or at least half an hour before break- c fast, take the juice of one lemon in a gob- ] let of water. That will clear the system of humors or bile, with mild efficacy, without any of the weakening effects of 1 calomel or congress water. People should j not irritate the stomach by eating the * lemon clear; the powerful acid juice, J which is almost corrosive, infallibly pro- ? duces inflammation after a while ; but J properly diluted, so that it does not burn 1 or draw the throat, it does its full medicinal work without harm, and when the i diuujuuii is uctii ui iuuu, una auuiiuaui ujj- \ portuuity to work ou the system thor- i oughly. t What I Have Learned.?That old c stocking legs make nice sleeve protectors. ? That powdered chalk and vinegar are good for a burn. . That a coarse comb is good to smooth c the fringe of towels, napkins, tidies, etc. j That equal parts of bay rum, borax and t] ammonia make a nice preparation for ^ cleaning the head; apply freely to the . scalp with a brush, aud then wash in j clear water. 1 That a feather bed or mattress will remain clean and in excellent condition for ( years if kept in a case made of common f sheeting, which can bo removed and i washed at will. 2 That biscuits can be warmed to be as 1 good as when just baked by placing them 1 in the oven dry, coyered closely with a tin. s It is a great improvement over the old way of wetting them.?[Good House- t keeper. ( Eight Hours to Sleep.?The value s of sleep to brain-workers cannot be exaggerated. In a recent lecture on nervous energy it was said that the brain requires twelve hours of sleep at four years of age, gradually diminishing by hours and halfhours to ten hours at fourteen, and thence to eight hours when the body is full-grown and formed. Goethe, in his most active productive period, needed nine hours, and took them. Kant?the most laborious of students?was strict in taking never less than seven hours. Nor does it appear that those who have systematically tried to cheat nature of this chief right have been, in any sense, gainers of time for their work. It may be a paradox, but it is not the less a truth, that what is given to sleep is gained to labor. Dessert in a Hurry.?A quickly made dessert is this: Make a batter as if for common griddle cakes, then add an egg, and some fruit, say stewed or canned berries, drain the juice from them, and stir them into the batter ; fry in a little lard, and serve with pudding sauce.

WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT IN MANUFACTURING AND MINING ENTERPRISES. A few years ago I told, in a speech, of a burial in Pickens county, Georgia. The grave was dug through solid marble, but the marble headstone came from Vermont. It was iu a pine wilderness, but the pine coffin came from Cincinnati. An iron mountain overshadowed it, but the coffin nails and screws and the shovels came from Pittsburg. With hard woods and metals abounding, the corpse was hauled on a wagon from South Bend, Indiana. A hickory grove grew near by, but the pick and shovel handles came from New York. The cotton shirt on the dead man came from Cincinnati, the coat and breeches from Chicago, the shoes from Boston ; the folded hands were encased in white gloves from New York, and round the poor neck, that had worn all its living days the j bondage of lostopportunity, was twisted a cheap cravat from Philadelphia. That country, so rich in undeveloped resources, furnished nothing for the funeral except the corpse and the hole in the ground, and would probably have imported both of these if it could have done so. And as the poor fellow was lowered to his rest, on coffin bands from Lowell, he carried nothing into the next world as a reminder of his home in this, save the halted blood in his veins, the chilled marrow in his bones, and the echo of the dull clods that fell on his coffin lid. There are now more than $3,000,000 invested in marble quarries and machinery around that grave. Its pitiful loneliness is broken with the rumble of pouderous machines, and a strange tumult pervades the wilderness. Twenty miles away the largest marble-cutting works in the world puts to shame, in a thousand shapes, its modest headstone. Forty miles away four coffin factories, with their exquisite work, tempt the world to die. The iron hills are gashed and swarm with workmen. Forty cotton mills in a near radius weave infinite cloth, that neighboring shops make into countless shirts. There are shoe factories, nail factories, shovel and pick factories, and carriage factories, to supply the other wants.

The industrial growth of the South in the past ten years has been without precedent or parallel. It has been a great revolution, effected in peace. How, from poverty, such progress has been wrought can be told only in figures. Words cannot compass it. Let us then figure! We start with iron, which is the base of all industrial progress. In 1880 '' j South made 212,000 tons of iron. In 1887 she made 845,000 tons?thus quadrupli. g her output in seven years. Butthisissmall compared to the future. The South is now building,' or has already finished since 1887, 32 iron furnaces with a capacity of 3,400 tons per day, or over 900,000 tons a year. In 1890 her output will be about 1,800,000 tons, although it was but 212,000 tons in 1880. In 1889 the Birmingham districtalone will produce more iron than the entire South produced in 1887. This growth is not remarkable when we consider that iron can be made in the South from $1 to $3 a ton cheaper than in the North. Mr. R. P. Rothwell, editor of the Mining and Engineering Journal, of New York, saw pig iron made in the South at an actual cost of $7.30 a ton, to which he added, for "renewals and incidentals," $1, making the cost $8.30 a ton. An English expert of the highest character says: "The South will not only control the iron marketof the North, but of England." AT?. AK.om Q WonflH nrhn has inat in 1T1 x XX l/I (XI & I kJ XXU TT 1 b Vj TT IIV 4?UU JUUV a vested largely in Southern furnaces, said, referring to Alabama: "This will be a region of coke-made iron on a grander scale than has ever been witnessed on the habitable globe." Mr. Lowthian Bell, of England, after investigating for a year, reported to the Iron and Steel Institute of England: "Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama will prove a match for any part of the world in iron-making. Iron can be made there at a little more than half the cost of the North." Mr. Samuel Thomas, of the Lehigh Valley furnaces, has just finished at Birmingham the finest two furnaces in the world, and says iron can be made much cheaper there than in the North. The South is already naming the price for iron in the North. Had General Toombs said, when he was reported to have said "he would call the roll of his slaves at Bunker Hill," instead, "he would bring iron from the slave States, through Pittsburg, and undersell Pennsylvania at Bunker Hill," he would have made quite as surprising and a much more truthful remark. For just that thing has been done! The magnitude r\f the* irnn hnqinpcq in thp Smith is shoWl) in the operations of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. It has a capital of $10,000,000. From its five furnaces, in blast in 1887, it turned out more iron than the Thomas Iron company, of Pennsylvania, with twelve furnaces. And it is now adding, or has since then added, five more furnaces and steel works. It ships its product to Canada, California, and every intervening State and Territory. Itisan axiom in our new iron region that "An iron furnace is like godliness. Have that, and all the rest shall be added unto you !" From this theory the "magic cities" of the South have sprung. Of the growth of these, let the story of Birmingham give proof. That city was founded in about 1872. MARVELOUS GROWTH OF A SOUTHERN CITY. With $12,000 the Elyton Land company, composed of about twelve southern men, bought 5,000 acres of land, and laid off a city. There were mountains of iron and acres of coal adjoining; and this was the basis for the city. When the first sale of lots occurred, the auctioneer got lost in the wilderness about dusk, and discovered by his own placards, which he accidentally stumbled over, that he was on the corner of Sixty-fifth street and Fifth avenue.

Every dollar invested was once worth $4,000 in open market, and every dollar is now worth $2,500, and more than ?5,000 in dividends have been paid on each dollar invested. In one year the taxable value of Jefferson county, in which Birmingham is located, rose $14,000,000. Land has sold at $3,000 a front foot. A man worth $4,000 started a home to cost $1,500. Before he had finished it he was worth $500,000, enlarged his plans for his home and paid $18,000 for the hard-word finish of its facings and staircases. Such a tremendous hive of industry as Birmingham is can hardly be found elsewhere in America. It is notable that the projectors?the men who have made fortunes in this city?are southern men, without exception. The iron furnaces, better than building cities, have opened the way to collateral industries. In 1870 the South mined but 3,193,100 tons of coal; in 1880, 6,049,471 tons. In 1887 she mined 14,020,000 tons. In 1880 her production of coke was 299,430 tons; in 1885, (the last figures I have in mind) 603,105 tons. Not less, certainly, than this development of coal and coke have the iron furnaces given stimulus to smaller iron industries. The cost of shipping so heavy a thing as iron to the North, to be made into gins, plows, stoves, and like heavy goods, and the cost of shipping them back, tempted capital into shops and factories. Mr. Perry, a large stove maker of Albany, N. Y., who lately established ! immense 9tove works in Tennessee, stated { in print that he saved $20 a ton on freight j by supplying his southern trade from j southern works. Many factories have i found the freight-saving the fullest per j centage of prolit they needed. Kolling | mills were the first industries that follow- i ed the furnaces. Gins and cotton presses j were close to these. Plows and cotton j planters followed. Then came stoves, hollow-ware, nails, piping and sash stuff, j After these came bridge works, engine and i boiler factories, chain works, car works, ! and locomotive works. Excellent saws are ! now made in the South. The logical move- j ment of supplying the local market with | goods made at home, of home-made iron, I rather than paying these heavy freights,! gave local factories such success that they ' rapidly extended their field. Atlanta now j sends plows to Mexico, and ships agricul-! tural implements to Central America. I She is even competing with the North in nearer markets, and we have our eyes on the Pan-American delegates now traveling j over the continent. They shall not escape to their homes without being told in in-1 different Spanish that the South is their: nearest and their best market. The growth of the Iron industries pro-1 voked other ventures. In Atlanta the j best gold watches are now made, the fin-! est pianos, double concave razors, and I sewing machines. In Birmingham pins, in Gainesville matches. It is curious to note how the industries of the South have been built up, step by step, and how the system has grown of its own growth. A few years ago a firm in Atlanta began making paper bags. It sold these all over America, having a branch depot in Chicago. It then added cloth bags. It then built a cotton factory to supply the cloth for its bags. Later it doubled the factory. And now it has just added a bleachery at a cost of $100,000 to prepare the cloth. A numbtr of meu established successful proprietary medicines in Atlanta. Two box factories followed?and now a glass and bottle factory, with $90,000 capital, supplies them with bottles. Each item grows out of another. And so vast and varied are our resources that the system is a miracle of success and expansion. The last census shows that Atlanta stands third in the list of American cities in the proportion ot actual workers to population. Lawrence, Mass., is first; Lowell, Mass., second ; and Fall River, Mass., and Atlanta, Ga., tie at the third place. UNPARALLELED DEVELOPMENT. Here is a wider instance of how one industry in the South has brought others into being: Cotton seed on the old plantation was burned, or dumped into the rivers as worthless. It was after slavery was abolished that some one discovered that the seed was a good fertilizer, and it was then covered into the worn cotton fields. Then it was found that it made a good food for cattle and sheep. After awhile some one pressed thirty-five gallons of oil outof a ton of seed, and sold the oil for thirtyfive cents a gallon. Me found that the seed*stripped of the oil, was better food and fertilizer than when it was so rich and heavy. Experiments with the oil developed that it could be refined up to$l a gallon, at which figure it is sent to Italy and shipped back as olive oil. The hulls, first used as a fuel and their residue sold as potash, now prove to be excellent food for cattle. The refuse makes the best and cheapest soap stock. To treat this pregnant seed and adapt its riches, a vast and complicated system of factories was needed. Over one hundred and eighty immense cotton seed oil mills, costing $100,000 each, grind the seed, and over fifty refineries, costing half as much, clarify and improve it. An enormous system of acid chambers and fertilizer mills have followed, to work the cotton seed meal of the oil mills into fertilizers. In Georgia alone $1,826,000 have been invested in ten years in fertilizer factories that work up mainly Carolina phosphates, Georgia cotton meal, and native iron pyrites for sulphur. Ten years ago Georgia imported every ton ol her fertilizers, usually high-priced guanos. Last year 202,000 tons of fertilizers, worth $5,500,000, were sold in Georgia, and the Georgia factories produced 165,000 tons, worth over $4,000,000. Then there are soap factories to convert the refuse of the oil mills into soap. And now, near each mill, are immense pens, in which thousands of cattle are fattened on the hulls. These, in turn, will lead to packing factories, and increase the fertilizer factories. The oil output of the cotton seed, fifteen years ago thrown away, represents $00,000,000a year, and the value of the meal and hulls for fertilizing or fattening stock, is $40,000,000 more. More than $40,000,000 is invested in plants for the manufacture of its various products. Surely, God has led the people of the South into this unexpected way of progress and prosperity. From 1880 to 1887 there was invested in the South $260,000,000 in manufacturing. This put 225,000 mechanics to work that hitherto had been idle or at work elsewhere. As has been shown, each of these industries is reason for another. The industrial system of the South responds, grows, thrills with new life, and it is based on a sure and certain foundation. For it is built at the field, by the mine, in the forest?from which come the cheapest, best and fullest supply of cotton, iron and wood! The industries of other sections?distant from the source of supply?may be based on artificial conditions that in time may be broken. But the industrial system of the South is built on a rock?and it cannot be shaken ! It is in the heart of the source of supply of iron, coal, and wood?the great elements of all industries!?[Henry W. Grady in New York Ledger. To Make a Drunk Man Sorer.?Two young society men entered a Twenty-third street restaurant just before midnight the other night, and took seats near the door. One was sober, and evidently came in unwillingly, and the other was not. The sober man didn't want to leave his friend in the condition in which he was, and yet he was not able to induce him to go home. Indeed, he was hardly able. He was obstinate, tired and quite unfitted to take care of himself. A cup of coffee was ordered for the man who was carrying too great a load, and by that time he was inclined to slide off the chair under the table. The waiter appreciated the sober man's dilemma and asked him quietly: "Do you want to make your friend sober?" "Of course I do." The waiter poured about a gill from the sweet oil cruet intothe cup of coffee. "Make him drink that," he said, and walked off. The sober man managed to arouse his friend and induce him to swallow the mixture, which he did, evidently without detecting anything peculiar in the taste. In two minutes he was a different man. He braced up, came to himself and began to talk rationally and soberly. He didn't re alize that he had been drunk or know what had straightened him out. He got up with perfect control of himself and walked off steadily, quite williDg to go home and to bed. The sober man made a note of the waiter's prescription.?[N. Y. Sun. Looked Death in the Face.?Dr. Charles Garcia, one of the most prominent citizens of St. Louis, died last Friday. He was a member of a New Orleans family, and his father was once governor of Louisiana. Dr. Garcia was a brave private soldier in the Confederate army, and his death now recalls a thrilling experience he had with Gen. Braxton Bragg, at Corinth, Miss. Gen. Bragg was personally superintending the loading of a car when young Garcia, who was very ill, passed. A lieutenant ordered him to help load the car, when he replied that he was too sick. The lieutenant reported him to Bragg, who repeated the order with his own lips. Garcia still refused. "Take six of your company and carry this man to that grove and shoot him," shouted Bragg to the lieutenant. The detail marched the prisoner off. He refused to have his eyes bandaged and stood looking calmly into the gun barrels of his executioners. "Make ready," ordered the lieutenant. "Take aim." But the calm, blue eye of the 16-yearold soldier did not quail. "Itecover arms," was the last order, in accordance with a previous instruction from Bragg, and the detail crowded around Garcia to congratulate him on his nerve. ftaT Secretary Noble asks for $07,000,000 for pensions next year, and expects that thp entire amount required, including the expenses of the office, will be over $100,000,000. ftOY/W CROYAL MfcWftj M Ite#* 'AKIN6 onwnrs r WVV&l&fclEl Absolutely Pure This powder never varies.

It In Heartily Endorsed by Every Farmer Who Has Iwcd It. THE COBIN DISK HARROW is the invention of a practical farmer, and is, as now offered to the farming world, the result 15 years experience in the manufacture of Agricultural Implements and combines seletions from over two hundred patent claims. It is superior to all other harrows in its lightness of draft, peri feet flexibility, regulating lever for adjusting ; depth of cut. and case hardened anti-friction I ball bearings, easily oiled and sand proof. , The following are some of the advantages ' possessed by the Corbin Harrow over all others: First, None other has independent gangs, ; either of which can litany ridge or hollow without disturbing the other. Second, None other , has chilled journal boxes; those of the Corbin Harrow are so hard that a tile will not scratch them. Third, None other lias anti-friction balls in its journal boxes and as a consequence none other hasso light adraft. Fourth, Noneother can be set at so sharp an angle, owing to the severe friction on their journal boxes, and as a consequence none other will pulverize like the Corbin. Fifth, None other has a successful SEEDER ATTACHMENT, making it really two machines in one, at less than the cost of one. Sixth, None other is so simple is in construction or so durable. Numerous other advani tages possessed by the Corbin Disk Harrow could be mentioned, but is unnecessary. WHAT IT WILL DO. The Corbin Disk Harrow will level rough land. Will soften a summor fallow. Will break up clods and lumps. Will pay its cost by increasing the yield. Will make the best possible seed bed for grain. Will work around stumps, in hollows, or on knolls. Will mix rough manure with the soil as no other harrow can. Will lift and turn the soil to be fertilized by the sun and atmosphere. Will cut weeds, corn stalks, cotton stalks, and roots and bury them at one operation. Will increase the crop at least twenty per cent, by reason of Its thorough work, will prepare grain stubble and corn stubble and cotton stubble lands for sowing without using a plow. There is no implement in the world adapted to more uses, and none lias been more successful in every locality where introduced. The Corbin Disk Harrow is intended to successfully take the place of the Cultivator, Drag, Smoothing Harrow, Spring Tooth Harrow, Drill, and on some soils the Plow, for it will do all that any, and more than most, of these tools will do. Used as a Seeder it will cover every seed to a uniform depth. Will pay its cost in seeding grain alone, as it covers every seed. Will enable the i farmer to seed four times as many acres in a day. It will sow all kindsof grain more evenly than can be done by hand. Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16. The manufacturers make harrows with 12, 16, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk, or the 16-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best adapted to general farm work. MEN WHO ENDORSE IT. The Disk Harrow is endorsed by the following gentlemen, each of whom is a practical farmer and knows the valueofsuch an implement on the farm, and speak from experience: Rob't E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, S. C. ; Dr. W. M. Walker, Capt. R. H. Glenn and W. H. Herndon, Yorkville; Win. S. Wilkerson, Hickory Grove, S. C.: Felix H. Dover. Grover. N. 0.; Wm. 0. Guy, Lowrysville, S. 0.; and in fact by farmers of every State in the UnioD. By an especial arrangement with the manufacturers of the Corbin Disk Harrow, I am enabled to offer the fanners of York and sur rounding counties this most valuable implement at unusually low prices. I have several of the 16-inch, 12-Disk Harrows on hand and can till orders for this size without delay. I shall be pleased to furnish any further inmation that may be desired in regard to the Harrow. I have in my possession a number of testimonials as to the value of the Harrow, which were furnished by well known York county farmers, and will be pleased to submit them to any who desire more light than is given in this advertisement.
