tumorous jgtpavtment. | CAN THE WORLD AFFORD TO BE HONEST ? j Parson Bangle became disgusted with the ! untruthfulness of mankind, and preached a vigorous sermon in denunciation of society 1 falsehood. He declared that lies told out j of politeness were just as wicked as those! told with the deliberate intention of deceiv-: ing. In fact, these society lies got folks in i the habit of lying, and they readily pick ! up the other kind. The sermon made a' great impression. Many of the congreatiou resolved to reform. Coming out of the church, Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger, who sits in front of him: "Judge, I hope you didn't mind my putting my feet under your pew ?" The judge was about to reply, "Oh, certainly not; but he thought of the sermon and answered: "I did, though; your old hoofs took up all the room and were a fearful nuisance." "Well," said the deacon, "the hair oil you use smells so, it nearly forced ue to leave the pew." They glared at each other, and just then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jenkins came along. Miss Jenkins had asked, "How do you like my new bonnet?" "Oh, I thought it just love?" replied Mrs. B., and then she thought of the sermon. "No, I didn't either. It is a horrid thing. I wouldn't be seen with it." And Miss Jenkins got mad and replied, "Well, if I were you, I'd not wear dirty stockin's to church; and if I did, I'd keep 'em out of sight." While these honest conversations were going on. Mrs. Smith had said to her next door neighbor, Mr. Murray, "I hope the crying of our baby last night didn't, disturb you?" And Murray replied, "No?that is?yes, I wanted to brain the brat." And then Mrs. Smith called him a wretch, and wept. Then the clergyman came out and asked young Symonds how he liked the sermon. Symonds said, "It was a grand ef?er?oh, parson, it was blamed nonsense." "Sir ?" said the parson, and he drew himself up indignantly. Just then, Smith and Murray, after telling each other the truth, clinched, and Deacon Jones was trying to hold Mrs. Smith from scrathing Mr. Badger. It took tremendous efforts to stop the rows and prevent a scandal, and, as it was, everybody went away mad with everybody else. The parson went home and meditated in a gloomy frame of mind for three hours, and finally concluded that society lying was wicked; but he wouldn't preach against it again. It's altogether too handy a sin to be given up. Judge and the Little Boy.?The Louisville Courier Journal says : Several lawyers were talking in one of the court rooms at the court house several days ago while waiting for the return of a jury on a certain case. They were discussing the testimony of children, and one of them told the following story.: "Judge Flourney, of Virginia, was once trying an important case, in which the result hinged very largely on the testimony of a little colored boy. When the boy was placed on the stand, the judge undertook to impress upon him the awfulness of lying. " 'See here,' he said, 'do you know what a lie is." "'Yes,sir,' answered the boy. " 'Well,' continued the judge, "and do you know where you will go when you die if you tell lies?" " 'Yes sir,' replied the little negro. " 'Do you know who will get you when you die?' the judge asked. "'Yes, sir,'the boy replied. 'De debbul git me.' " 'Yes,'exclaimed Judge Flourney, frowning, 'and I get you too.' " 'Law massa,' laughed the little rogue, dat's who I's talkin' 'bout? "Such a roar of laughter greeted this reply that even the court, after an effort or two to look stern, had to join in. It is such in cidents as this," concluded the lawyer, "that relieves somewhat the tendium of the law and the court." Neither Did The Ventriloquist.? During a sea voyage, a ventriloquist made friends with the engineer of the ship, and was allowed to enter the engine-room. He took a seat in the corner, and pulling his hat down over his eyes, appeared to be lost in reverie. Presently a certain part of the machinery began to squeak. The engineer oiled it and went about his usual duties. Iu the course of a few miuutesthe squeaking was heard again, and the engineer rushed, oil-can in hand, to lubricate the same spiudle. Again he returned to his post, but it was only a few minutes until the old spindle was squeaking louder than ever. "Confound the thing!" he yelled. "It is bewitched!" More oil was administered, but the engineer began to be suspicious as to its cause. Soon the spindle began to squeak again ; and slipping up behind the ventriloquist, the engineer squirted half a pint of oil down the joker's back. "There," said he, "that spindle won't squeak any more." Heal Cause of His Grief.?"Yes, I dabbled in futures once," said the man in the mackintosh reflectively. "Wheat?" inquired the man who had his feet on the table. "No. And it wasn't corn or oats or barley or mess pork or potatoes or chips or whetstones. It was broom corn. I thought there i was money in broom corn." "Put much money in it?" asked the man in the shaggy ulster. "More money than judgment," sighed the man in the mackintosh gloomily. "How much did you lose?" "I lost $o0,000 I had hoped to make out [ of the deal." "Was that all?" "All? No. I lost $18,000 I had borrowed | from friends"? "Have they got it yet?" "And that wasn't all!" groaned the man J in the mackintosh, unheeding the interrup-! tion and wiping his eye furtively with the! corner of his handkerchief, "I lost $S7.G5 of: my own money !" Which Side to Sleep on.?1"Which side j should I sleep on,doctor?" he inquired. "In winter or summer ?" asked the doctor,! rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "What's that got to do with it?" exclaim- j ed the patient, half angrily. "A great deal," responded the doctor, mysteriously. "I don't see it." "Of course you don't," said the imperturbable ; if you did, you wouldn't be here ask-; ing me questions about it." "Go ahead, then," said the patient, sitting ! ?.?~-wback resignedly. "Well," continued the doctor, "in winter, j when it is cold, you should sleep on the in- j side ; but in the summer you should sleep on the outside, in a hammock, with a draught1 all around it, and a piece of ice for a pillow, j Two dollars, please." A story is told of a bashful young j Georgia swain, who called on his sweetheart i to propose. Here is a sample of the conver-1 sation: t;Miss Addie, can you sweep the floor?" "Why, yes, of course I can." "Can you cook?" "Yes." Can you wash?" "Yes, I can wash, too." "And scour?" "Yes." "Well, can you cut wood?" "I: have cut wood, too." "Did you ever hoe ?" "Sometimes." "Pick cotton?" "Yes, pick1 cotton also." Can you plough?" "No, I| can't plough." "Well, then, I can plough ! for both of us." He got her.

The extraordinary cold now being exj.e rienced nearly all over the North Temperati Zone, has caused The Republic's "Curiou Man" to spend considerable time in lookinj up data concerning the stalwart winters o olden times. Here are the results of thi: research : In February, 764, the weather wa unusually severe all over Europe; at Con stantinoplo the "two seas" were entirely frozen over for a period of twenty days. Ir 1063 the Thames was frozen solidly for four tecn^ weeks. The winter of 1407-S was sc intensely cold in Britain that all small bird: perished. In Germany there was a similai state of affairs. In Baden the rooks gatherei in the cities and actually ate great holes ii the backs of cattle and hogs. It is also 01 record that in 1468 the army iu Flauderi used wine that was regularly cut from tin puncheons with hatchets and distributed ii the shape of ice. In 1(5(54 tne cold was st intense that ice formed 71 inches thick or the river Thames in the heart of London This beats the prize block now on exhibitior in St. Paul by at least one inch. In 1709-H was the winter known by distinction as "This Cold Winter." All the rivers and lakes o Europe froze solid to the bottom. In Polant and all of North Germany the earth wai frozen nine feet deep. The Adriatic, tin Baltic and the Black seas were all frozer over. Even at Genoa, in "Sunny Italy,' the Mediterranean was frozen for miles ou' at sea. In 1716 the straits of Copenhager were frozen over so that people traveler across on the ice in perfect safety. The win ter of 1740-41 was scarcely less severe thai that of 1709-10. Snow laid ten feet deep ii Spain and Fortugal for seven weeks. Tin Zuyder Zee was frozen over, and thousand! crossed it on the ice just for the mere novel ty of such an experience. In 1744 snov laid twenty-three feet deep on a level through out Southern Russia. In 1771 the Elb< froze to the bottom, and ice formed five fee thick on the Danube below Vienna. In America the record has beeh almos equally as startling. In 1730, and again ii 1SS1, New York harbor was frozen over sc solidly that teams were driven in safety ove: to Staten Island on the ice. Indiana, Ohic and Illinois weather of 1855 was so severely cold that the indicating fluid in all mercuria thermometers congealed solidly in the bulb: of the instruments. On the 13th and 24tl days of January, eighty-one persons wen frozen to death in the United States. Evei as far South as Mobile, people who hardlj knew what frost meant, saw the mercun sink to zero. Puzzles About the Eel.?Of all the common creatures of the water none is a! great a puzzle to the naturalists as the slip pery, everyday eel. That they live ant have their being there is not the shadow o a doubt, but exactly how they are propa gated no living man knows.

In short, the eel's manner o breeding is one of the mysteries of nature Some authorities contend that they grov up from horsehairs; others that they an generated spontaneously from slime. Th< fishermen of all countries have their popular superstitions respecting this slippery customer. In Scandinavia lands they tell yoi that eels are the progeny of the water suak< and some species of fish, and, being hybrids like mules, never breed. In Sardinia the} are said to be produced from eggs laid b} a water beetle known, on this account, as "the mother of eels," Some years ago th( celebrated Virehow otferered a large re ward to anyone that would send him f female eel containing eggs. He was nevei called upon to pay the reward. A mosl careful examination with the microscope is necessary in order to distinguish the sexes If you doubt these things send to the United States fish commissioners for a ton of eel eggs. Not a Hypocrite.?The following from the editorial columns of the Washington Daily News is one of the best temperance lectures ever written. It was written bj the gifted Walt.

It posts its warnings everywhere, and it is man's fault if he doesn't profit by them.

But whisky wrestles fair; it does not gouge ; it does not strangle; it simply crushes its vie tim by superior weight. Moral: Do not wrestle with whisky. 8^? The new Columbian Souvenir hall dollar is a very pretty piece of silver. On one side of the coin, in the center, is thi profile portrait of Columbus?or what maj as well stand for his portrait as any other, a* there has no portrait of him yet been found which, it is absolutely certain, was taker from life.

The coldest winter the world ever knew, according to several chroniclers, occurred during the year 143G. The season was not only intensely cold, but lasted unusually long. In a large portion of middle and western Germany the frost was so severe during the month of May that skaters braved the ice without the least danger, and on May 12. sleighs were generally used. On St. John's day, June 24, the windows were frozen, and not a vestige of vegetation was to be seen anywhere. Spring was ushered in with the last of June. ? ? ? ?q?"

' - MANAUINU WITH CLOVER. -1 A difference in the locality, as well as in the ?I season, will make more or less difTerence in s j the management of clover. Sometimes it : can be ready to sow at the first favorable '! opportunity. ?| The manner of sowing must in a measure , s | determine the time of sowing. Many follow s | the plan of sowing clover with oats, and -1 when this is done the oats must, of course, be ir* j sown first and harrowed in, and then the 1 j clover sown. The disadvantage of this plan is that dur) ing the most favorable conditions of growth 1 3 the clover plants will have the protection ' r of the oats, and this will be taken from them 1 just about the time that the hot, dry weather < 1 usually sets in. For this reason, when it is ] 1 not desired to lose a crop, many prefer to 5 sow the clover on winter wheat, as the j 3 wheat ripens and is harvested earlier and , i the plants are not exposed quite so suddenly > by the hot, dry weather. ( l Others prefer to sow on the fallow land. . When either of the two latter plans is foll lowed, the seed can usually be sown in the ) latter part of February or early in March, . 3 depending somewhat upon the season. Sow f on a frozen surface when the weather is clear 1 and bright, and the soil is reasonably sure ! 3 to thaw out, and stick the seed fast. Use J 3 plenty of seed, one bushel to six acres is l the right quantity. Take care to distribute ' ' the seed as evenly as possible, as plenty of 1 t good seed evenly distributed are,essential l items in securing a good stand. < 1 In many cases, unless grown especially to ' - plow under as a fertilizer, it will be best to i mix with some grass seed. When wanted ] i for hay the grass will help materially to pre- ] 3 vent its lodging, while in nearly all cases a s variety of grasses will give the best results , - as pasturage. With the common red clover, , v orchard grass is one of the best grasses that - can be sown, for the reason that it ripens at 3 about the same time, while both timothy , t and red top ripen later. With either of these it will be necessary to allow the clover k <rot tnr? rino nr cut the srrass too ereen. V vv &vv W. i Mammoth clover and timothy grass can be \ ) sown together, as the mammoth clover 1 r ripens later. Wherever sown, especially for > pasturage, two or three varieties of grass { j can be sown with benefit, as a larger amount 1 of feed in proportion to the acreage can be 3 received in this way. Clover makes one of the i very best pastures for milk cows and growing i pigs, and the acreage of this crop can bo ini creased with benefit. A safe rule to follow r with this crop is that whenever there is any ; doubt as to the best crop to sow or plant on a piece of land, sow clover, as in most cases from one-third to one-half of the farm can , profitably be in grass and clover.?St. Louis 3 Republic. i ^ > I SIMPLE REMEDY FDR GRIP. f W. Tcrtsh Lander, of Williamston, S. C., - furnishes the Columbia State with the fol lowing remedy for the grip : , A year ago, when the influenza or grip t was so prevalent, I noticed a report on the 1 disease from one of the best hospitals of s Europe. This hospital is in Edinburgh, f Scotland. At the time of the report hun- L . dreds of influenza cases had been treated r there. After fighting the epidemic with , ; varying success, a happy accident led the sui pcrintendent to adopt an alkaline treatment , with an extreme case that was brought in. r1' A full dose of saleratus was given every two , i hours. Although the patient was in con- 1 } vulsions when brought in, she became quiet- ' , er a short time after the first dose ; and only 1 r three doses were given before the patient r was clearly on the way to recovery. In 5 three days she was counted well. This same > ; simple treatment was then followed with a ] thousand, not one of whom died. Best of i i all, not only was the influenza promptly cured, but tiiero was no unpleasant or dant gerous symptoms following recovery. It has 1 > been observed that not more die of the in- i . fluenza than what may follow it. i 1 From some work in my chemical labra- I I tory, carried on before this report came out, I had concluded that the influeuza was at " least associated with excessive acidity of the ( , system, if it was not caused by this abnor- t , mal state. I was so certain of the correct- l . ness of this view that, on being thrown in bed myself with the influenza, I treated my- , I self only with alkaline drinks to counteract ( the acid. The result was that instead of 8 i two or three weeks of punyness, I missed , ; j only one day from work. | The success with my own case was so asI tonishing that I have been called to treat ^ II other case ; and of about twenty-five treated, ( |; very few have had to give up work more' ^ . | than a day?some not at all. Not being a physician, I should feel some [! hesitancy in olferiug my cure, if after I had ' ;; begun to try it, it had not had receiv ed the [! high endorsments quoted. 1 At first, I used the carbonate of lithia, i1 5: which is the best of the- alkalis for the pur- j j . I pose. But as my practice (all charity) en-1 5! larged, I left so a expensive a drug, and con- j1 ; tented myself with the carbonate of potash i , i and soda. These I found practically as good 11 . | as the lithia. J For the sake of the suffering public, 111 ; i would say that the dose I have used for I < I grown patients has been a level teaspoon i< of baking soda, dissolved in plenty of wa-! I ter, taken every two hours until soreness j 1 . and headache are gone, and then one extra ;1 dose for good measure. It is not best to take \ i a dose just before or just after eating. I s J have rarely found more than four doses! i P needed. Since the system is in an acid state, calo-', ' mel of course is a very dangerous medicine, l I and many deaths from influenza are, without , reasonable doubt, traceable to the use of ( calomel in the disease. 5 It is interesting to note that, when all else ' failed, our grandmothers used to cure the , j. worst colds with "fire-coal tea." This was i' simply a crude saleratus treatment. So |! I there is nothing new under the sun, and our j ' j wise theory simply proves the soundness of 1 ' another of their old practical ways. \V.

For many years past, indeed we j' may say for the whole of a life of more!' j- than forty years, we have been subject to a dry, hacking cough, which is not only dis- j 1 tressing to ourselves but to our friends and ! ' those with whom we are brought into busi- t ness contact. Last fall we were induced to : try what virtue there was in common salt, j 1 : We commenced using it three times a day, < 5 morning, noon and night. We dissolved a ' J a large tablespoon fill of pure table salt in ? half tumbler of water. With this we gar- i ; gled the throat most thoroughly just before \ > | meal time. The result was that during the j t : entire winter we were not only free from ' coughs and colds,' but the dry, hacking ^ ' cough had entirely disappeared. We attri- j 5 bute these satisfactory results solely to the use of salt gargle, and most cordially recom- ( ' mend a trial of it to those who are subject ] to diseases of the throat. Many persons t ! who have never tried the salt gargle have \ j 'the impression that it is unpleasant; but 11 Jlllt'l" 11 IOW (lays USU IIU UIIC \i IIU iuv? n '; nice, clean mouth and first-rate sharpener of1 11 the appetite, will abandon it.?The Ilousei hold.

THE CORBIN DISK HARROW.; : It is the Best Labor Saving Farming Implement in the World, and Will do , More to Increase Crops and Reduce Cost of Production than any Farming Implement Ever Introduced. A< J RKAT deal has been said about the Corbin Disk Harrow during the past three years in the columns of Tun Kxqi*ihkh. If it was anything else than what is claimed for it, the people would long ago have branded it as a fraud, Imt instead of being denounced it is endorsed and recommended us the greatest money stiver and crop increaser ever introduced in this section by every farmer who has tested it, and there are scores of them. The following testimonials from well known farmers should, we think, be sufficient to convince even those who do not want to be convinced. Head and then act: cjkovkh, n. (\, July 10, l.SXii. Sam M. Giust, Yorkville, S. : Dear Sir:?I have owned a 10-lnch C'orbln Disk Harrow for the past four years and have put It to every possible test and it lias given entire satisfaction. I had long felt the need of a harrow that would pulverize the soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, and realized that this could not he done by any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and theseelods would lie worked to the surface in cultivating the crop and all intelligent farmers know that cloddy land does not give the best results. Hence the great importance of a Harrow that will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My Harrow wilt thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. I want nothing bettor in stalk land in putting in wheat or oats than thet'orbin Harrow, fyr It not only does better work than a plow, but it Is so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, und all farmers know the importance of saving time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no farmer who owns a C'orbln Harrow would be without it for twice Its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possesses over most improved farming implements is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it If he lias senseenough to driven wagon. I have prepared stuliblc land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, witii my harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the tlrst work witii the last, as well or better - than I have ever done witii a plow. Much more might be said aliout the t'orbln Harrow but I think I have said enough to induce farmers to inquire into its merits. All who Investigate will be converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H. Rovku. | Yokkville, S. v., May l.">, Sam M. Giust, Yorkville, S. ('.: Dear Sir?It gives me pleasure to add my testimony as to the worth of thet'orbin Disk Harrow as a farming implement. I I have used tlie Harrow purchased of you last fall for a I variety of purposes, and in noijingle instance has it I failed to do all that is claimed for it by the manufacturers and by the farmers whose testimony yon have already published. Ijist fall I plowed a piece of around on my place that was covered with weeds, and had also a considerable amount of wircgrass on it, I and when the plowing was finished, it was exceedingly rough?In places the furrow would turn for twentylive or thirty yards without breaking. I then went to work with the Harrow, and after going over the ground two or three times, I had it in as good eondi] tlon as an ordinary garden is after being spaded and raked, and I am now eultiveting this land and it Is still soft and mellowand easily worked. I also broke my cotton stalk land and then pulverized it and cut , up the cotton stalks with the Harrow. I find a wonderful difference In working land that has been harrowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the hotter I like it. It is my pur|>ose to sow my small grain with itnext fall, and for two reasons: First, I can sow it better, and, therefore, get better results ; and second, I can do it at about one-fifth the expense and in one-tilth of the time, as compared witli the ordinary mode of sowing grain. No fanner j canafl'ord to be without tlie C'orbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take five times the eost of my Harrow for it and do without it. I shall be pleased to give my friends any further information they may desire. Respectfully, ' It. 11. Gl.KNN. grovku, n. ('., May 15, 18!?i. Mil. Sam M. 1111 ist, Yorkvllle, S. C'.: Hear Sir:?1 bought a No. 7 Corhln Disk Harrow from you last 3 October. The first time I saw it I pronounced it "a i. daisy." Now I pronounce it indispensable, e I would not sell it for double what it cost if I could not get another. I sowed all my wheat with it and it L gave entire satisfaction. it The best prepared piece of land I ever saw was a j piece of stubble bottom land turned last winter with an Oliver chilled plow and cut this spring with the ? C'orbin Harrow. i I also tried it on stubble land bottom that had not been broken and it was a success. It is actually the c best farming implement I ever saw. Willi two mules e and one hand I can do more work, and better work, i than four mules and four hands in the old way. Clods and baked ground would soon be a thing of II the past if farmers would all use the C'orbin Disk . Harrow to pulverize the land. To see one at work is sufficient to convince tlie most skeptical that it will * do all that is claimed for It. l- Hue old gray headed farmer who saw me harrowing my stubble that had not been broke said, "I thought " it was all talk about that harrow, but it will do." t Another farmer, and a good one too, said, "It beats _ anything I ever saw, and I want one to sow my wheat with this fall." :. After such a winter and spring as we have just passed through, and the farmers are all behind with their work, nothing saves timcand lnborllke a C'orbin c Disk Harrow, Respectfully, C. C. IlroitES. r ('lav Hill, s. C., March 10, ltjttt. Ma. Sam M. Ghist, Yorkvllle, S. C.: Dear Sir:?It is with pleasure that I add my testimony as to the value - of the C'orbin Disk Harrow as a farming Implement. - I bought a No. 7,12 disk Harrow from you on the 18th e of August, 18111, and am satisfied that it has already . paid for itself by saving labor, and leaving out the fact thnt by no other means that I have ever tried or seen tried, could such good work have been done. I have two small mules, and with them lean go over five acres twice In a day, or I can put in as many oats or as much wheat in a day as any eight men and eight mules can by the old way of using a single-foot - plow; and the work done with the Harrow will he the 1 best. The draft of t lie Harrow is very light, especially i when you take into consideration the large amount : of work it does. 1 would not take S100 for my Harrow ' unless I could get another Just like it. I could not ' I afford it. No farmer who buys and uses a C'orbin Disk Harrow will over again try to farm without it, and if he is likeinyself he will always regret that he delayed haying as long as lie did. It is the host farming implement, I believe, that has over boon Introduced In tliis State. Yours Truly, 11 ex it v F. Hoke. The time for sowing spring oats is near at e hand. If you want to have your crop put e in as it should ho, and thereby insure a larger '} | crop than would otherwise he produced, you | should have a ('orbin Disk Harrow.
