Worn Out His Welcome.?When a vis- J
itor overstays his welcome, the people of
New England say, "He makes us twice glad :
glad when he comes ; glad when he goes."
A worthy citizen of Westfield, Mass., once [
put it even more strongly than that to a i
guest.
One of the Deweys, of Westfield, removed i
to the Black River country, but every fall
he was accustomed to bring his family back
to pay a long visit to his well-to-do relatives.
On one occasion, after a prolonged stay, he
was surprised to see his host in" the corner,
weeping.
"Why, Cousin Tim," said he, "what ails !
you ?"
"You'll never come down to see me any J
more!" the host replied.
"Ohyes,.I will, Cousin Tim; I'll surely
come down next fall."
"No, you won't. Something tells me you j
won't." I
"Nonsense !" said the visitor. What has
put such a notion in your head ? Haven't we
always come down and spent the winter
with ye ? Come, cheer up, Cousiu Tim!
Cheer up and tell me what makes you
think so ?"
The grieving host blew his nose, wiped his
eyes, and turning his solemn face to his sympathizing
guest, said, "Cause you'll never go i
away!"
One's Future Wife's Name.?He was a
, chatty kind of conjurer, and was anxious to
open the evening's entertainment merrily.
So he stepped forward to the front of the
stage and said: "Ladi?s and gentlemen if
there is in this audience any young man who
would like to know the name of his future
wife, if that young man will kindly step up,
I will undertake to tell him, and this is no
guessing competition. Now, will any single
young man kindly stand up ?"
Up jumped a young man in the center of
the room.
"Thank you," said the conjurer. "Now,
do you wish to know the name of your future
wife ?"
"I do," said the youDg man.
"Well," said the man of magic, "I always
like to do this in a proper business fashion ;
will you kindly give me your name?"
Yes, certainly," said the young man; "my
name is Jackson."
"Thank you,"replied the conjurer; "then
the name of your future wife will be Mrs. )
Jackson."
They Were Not Labeled.?It was
the morning of Mr. McSwat's birthday.
As he came down to breakfast, says the
Trenton Advertiser, Mrs. McSwat waylaid
him in the family sitting-room, led him to
a closet, opened it, and pointed to two gorgeous
garments hanging from the hooks in
side.
"I made them myself, Billiger," she said,
"as a little surprise for you. One of them is
a dressing gown?the other is a night shirt.
How do you like them ?"
"They are 3imply magnificent, Lobelia,"
replied Mr. McSwat, gazing at them in mingled
admiratiou and awe. "Made them your- j
self?" ,
"Every stitch. Glad you like them, Bil- (
liger."
"Like them ?" he echoed. "They overwhelm
me. Would you mind telling me,
Lobelia, which?hum?which is the dressing j
gown and which is the night shirt?"
The Pessimist.?A party of people had
been spending the evening at a friend's
house, where the pessimist had seemed to j
set himself forth as the sole and peculiarI.
victim of all the ills of the universe. As the i
party came out into the open air, the pessimist
in advance, he exclaimed:
"This is always the way! Such things
never happen except to me !"
"What has happened to you, now ?"
"Why, don't yo.u see ? It rains."
It was another pessimist who once declared,
that he was ready to end his life, and that
he was going to throw himself out of the :
window of the fourth story room in which
he sat.
At this a friend who happened to be in 1
the room rose and opened the window wide, j
"Put that down," exclaimed the melan- ,
choly man, indignantly. "Do you want to
give me my death o' cold?"
Who the Nanny-Goat Was.?A rather
vulgar personage, who had been created a
marquis a few months previous to this story, j
managed to get himself invited to a court i
ball in Italy. The new fledged marquis j
could not contain himself for joy, and exhaled
proud satisfaction at every pore.
Casting an Olympian glance around the room j
he chanced to spy among the ladies the tall,
angular figure of an elderly matron, with j
compressed lips, as though afraid of wasting ,
her breath, and as lean as a lath. She was I
leaning on the arm of a young gentleman.
"Who is that nanny-goat?" said the noble J
lord, to a gentleman who was standing be-1
side him. And the latter replied with a
knowing smile:
"That nanny-goat is the embassadress of
S., the mother of the kid who is gixing her
his aim, and the wife of the old buck who
has the honor of speaking with your excellency."
Too Late.?It is one of the attributes of
a good teacher that he knows how to say
things in a way to make them remembered.
During my second year at a medical college
I had a classmate whom it would not be
uncharitable to call a dullard. One of the
professors was in the habit of taking the
boys unawares and quizzing them. He said (
to the fellow one day :
"How much is a dose of ?" giviug the j
technical name of croton oil.
"A teaspoonful," was the ready reply.
The professor made no comment, and the 1
fellow soon realized that he had made a mis- j
take. After a quarter of an hour he said :
"Professor, I want to change my auswer
to that question."
"It's too late, Mr. ," responded the
professor looking at his watch. "Your patient's
been dead fourteen minutes."
Easily Accounted Foil?A young husband,
finding that his pretty but extravagant
wife was considerably exceeding their
income, brought her home one evening a neat
little account book, beautifully bound and
looking very attractive. This he presented
to her with twenty pounds.
"Now, my dear," he said, "I want you to
put down what I give you on this side, and
on the other write down the way it goes, and
in a fortnight I will give you another supply."
A couple of weeks later he asked her for
the book.
"Oh, I have kept the account all right," j
said his wife, producing the little leather

AST" An Illinois couductor tells the following1
story : "We pulled into Alton one day, and |
among other passengers to get aboard, were
two very large colored people of the common |
'persimmon class,' and very ignorant. As I j
came by taking up tickets, the old gentleman
dug two tickets from the deep recesses of
his tattered vest, and as he handed them up,
said, 'One of dese is foh me, the udder is foil
her.' I looked at the tickets critically, and
then, turning sharply to the old fellow, I
asked, 'Which is yours and which is hers?' j
The old man began stammering something,
but the old lady cut him short by hitting
him a terrific whack with her fist on the
side of his head, exclaimed : T)ur now, you
ignorant niggah, I done told yuh yuh'd git;
us into trouble, and now yuh see yuh done,
got do law on us.' "
In a country town there lived an Irish- j
man who spent most of his time and money at
one of the many public houses. In consequence
of this and the small wages he earn- j
ed, he had run up a rather long score on the
slate. One day a fire occurred at this partic-'
ular house, and the fire brigade was called
into requisition. Among the first at the conflagration
was the Irishman. He was heard
above the noise and din of the people assem- i
bled, shouting, "Don't fail to play on the
slate."

CRIMSON CLOVER FOR THE Sllt'TII.
A most valuable plant says one.
Crimson clover, also called Scarlet, Annua
German and Italiar. clover, is an annut
! clover indigenous to northern and centre
| Europe. Crimson clover is very hardy an
j thrives upon soil too light to yield satisfa*
tory crops of red or white clover. On suil
! able soil the yield is one to two ton's pc
' acre of one cutting. The quality of hay i
j fully equal to that of red clover. This clo\
! er has been prominently brought before th
i public latterly by glowing reports of it in bu
I letins issued from the Delaware experimer
j station, North Carolina station, and individ
I ual farmers in different sections of the cour
j try. Here is what is said of it in a bulleti
issued from the North Carolina station :
Crimson clover has a peculiar and ver
great value for the light soils of the cotto
belt. In this region the ground very seldoi
freezes to a greater depth than a few inchc
or remains frozen longer than a day or tw
at a time.
From such soils the residue of the cosi
ly nitrates supplied in manure for the suir
| mer crop very readily leach away unles
I i
there are growing pianis 10 iuKe wiem u|
Hardy plants like crimson clover grow we
(except for a few days after each "cold wave'
during the winter, and may be utilized a
pasturage, or if left until spring, will furnis
a good crop of hay or green manure in tira
to vacate land for corn or cotton. Crimso
clover is better than red clover for mixin
with rye or barley for winter pasture.
This clover should be sown in the furrow
of the cotton or corn field when the crop
are cultivated for the last time. The see
may also be profitably sown in the sprin
upon the winter wheat, oats or rye sown i
the fall before. When the cereal crop i
mown, the clover will soon take possessio
of the stubble, and furnish a crop as valuable
or more so, than the one first cut. Crimsoi
clover will catch on stubble land by merel;
harrowing the soil with a heavy harrow
such as the cutaway, acme, disk, or eve
upon the stubble laud without any eultive
tion. The time when winter wheat i3 usual
ly harvested in this latitude?June?is to
late for sowing crimson clover. Cow pea
will give better results.
A Kent county, Del., correspondent of Th
Country Gentleman writes : "Crimson clov
er is an annual doing vastly better sown i
August to grow in the fall and spring ant
ready for cutting either for hay or ensilag
by the first of May following, than in an;
other way that it can be treated, as it doe
not do well sown in the spring in this cli
mate." Thorburn says, "Crimson clove
sown late in summer furnishes a nearl;
green fodder the following season ; is large
ly sown in Virginia ; 20 pounds to the acre.
Henderson, of New York, says: "When
single crop is required, either alone or will
Italian rye grass, this is one of the best clov
ers. It makes good hay and is excellent fo
feeding green, the yield being immense, am
after cutting it begins to grow again am
continues until freezing weather. It can b
sown in the fall for early spring cuttiug, bu
is generally sown in the spring for cutting i:
July. It is suitable to all soils, but to ligh
and chalky soils more especially, on whic!
it outyields by far the ordinary red clove
and is earlier than that variety by two o
three weeks. Sow, if alone, 14 pounds pe
acre.
Salt Baths.?At this season of the yeai
when children are apt to be languid lyitl
the approach of warm weather, it is an ex
rellent time to start the habit of the dail;
i bath, if it is not already a part of the regu
I lar regime of the day. With the coming c
the new summer and the loveliness of th
I early morning hours, even the most indolen
! feels the impulse toward early rising, and th
very best beginning of the day is a refresh
ing bath, followed by some light food am
a vigorous walk in the open air. The addi
tion of a cup of rock salt to the bath is
great advantage, and is especially soothin:
to the nerves of delicate people who find th
shock of cold water too severe. Even in
j doors such a bath possesses much of th
! strengthening, invigorating qualities of th
I ocean wave. Rock salt is considcrabl;
cheaper than fine table salt, and is quite a
good for this purpose. It should be thoi
oughly dissolved, however, so that not on
crystal remains. When it is put in a cob
! bath, it is better to dissolve the salt in
j little warm water first, though not enougl
I to change the temperature of the bath pei
j ceptably. It is very important that th
salt be completely dissolved, as a single crys
tal may cut into the skin. Where a littl
child is feverish, and restless, a warm sal
I bath will sometimes induce sleep when ever}
i thing else fails. Let the temperature c
j such a bath be about from 85 to 90 degreef
j Add a cup of salt to every six gallons c
water. Do not rinse off the salt with fres
! water, but dry the child's skin thoroughlj
i and rub it down with smooth, gentle stroke
' of the hand. All this has a wonderful!
j pacifying effect, and a fretful baby will ofite
j drop to sleep before you are aware of it uc
| der such treatment.?N. Y. Tribune.
Treatment of Felled Timber.?In a
agricultural department bulletin occurs thi
, advice:
Always remove the bark from felled tiir
: ber to aid seasoning?but not from th
; standing tree.
Never allow the log to lie directly on th
moist soil.
If winter felled, shape the timber to siz
! within two weeks after felling, and leave i
placed on blocks?not upon the soil?in th
. forest, or, if shaped at home, place in a dn
airy, not windy position, away from sun an
: rain.
| If dried too rapidly, wood warps au
i utilifc th^ r>rnr>ks rnlleet water, and the tin
~1"4VW? v"w ? /
ber is then easily attacked and destroyed b
rot.
With large logs, checking may be pr<
vented by coating the ends with some fatt
or oily substance, mixed with brick dust.
BfiT The pig is no exception to the nil
; that all domestic animals require salt. Th
j few animals which are fed slops from tli
house will get some salt in this kind of fee<
! but not enough, and they do better if a mi:
j ture of salt and ashes is left where they ca
eat as they wish. Many believe that lac
of proper salting is one cause of hog choloi
1 where large droves are kept and given grai
and water. When men are deprived <
: salt, serious diseases result. In some respee
the internal structure of human beings r<
| sctnbles that of the pig."
How to Make Wafki.es.?Waflles wit
j maple syrup make a good supper dish t
serve these evenings. Make the waffles li
using two coflee cups of milk, one quart!
I cup of melted butter, one quarter teaspooi
ful of salt, the yolk of two eggs, Hour 1
make a batter, two heaping teaspoonfuls <
baking powder mixed with flour. At tl
last add the whites of the eggs beaten ver
! stiff. Cook immediately on a hot muflin ire
I and serve hot.
S&F It is said that if lamp chimneys, tun
biers or other glass dishes are placed in eol
water, with half a cup of table salt to eat
quart of water, which is brought slowly to
boil and boiled a half hour, then allowe
to cool in the water, they will resist an
sudden changes of temperature withoi
cracking.
1Vc&~ There is nothing better for a cut tha
powdered resin. Pound it until fine, an
put it in an empty, clean pepper-box wit
perforated top, then you can easily sift it 01
on the cut; put a soft cloth around the ii
jured member, and wet it with cold watt
'once in a while. It will prevent inilamm;
j tion and soreness.
Wof' Let those whose horses are idle mo:
of the time, tie them out in the shade aftt
meal time, if it is not desirable to pastui
.ithern. With the earth for a floor and tli
pure air about them, they will be better o
than in a study stable.
BO?" Corns and bunions may be softene
and cured by making a salve of lard an
j soda and applying at night on retiring. ]
, this is persevered in, they will soon disaj

gfcBf" If oats are to be fed out to stock on tli
farm, it is adding to the expense to tli res
i them. They make a better and more wlioh
, some feed to run through a cutting box, whil
there is little or no waste.

lI "Attleborough jewelry." These two words,
d like charity, cover a multitude of sins. Sins
> not on the part of the manufacturers, hut 011
t- the part of those who sell the stufF at third
r or fourth hand?fakirs, swindlers and pedis
lers.
r- Attleborough jewelry has heconic a synoe
nyme for jewelry that is cheap and brassy,
1- and people who buy it and wear it and disit
card it and abuse it do not know that but a
1- small proportion of the manufacturers in At1
tleborough make that kind; that as good
11 jewelry as is made anywhere in the world is
1 -t t ?11 4l.? 1
I maue men*. ./\iuuiig mi wo uuu uuimruu
y odd jewelry firms in Attleborough, but four
n make the kind of jewelry which usually ren
tains the town's name. One of these makes
;s more than all the rest put together. It is
o probably not stretching the fact to say that
no jewelry firm in the world turns out the
t- quantity?nothing said about quality?of
i- goods made by this firm,
s By boxes and barrels the product of the
). shop goes out. Jobbers buy gold chains by
11 the dozen or half-dozen; they buy chains
') from this firm by the gross. Girls who are
is employed on gold chains measure them by
h the foot. Diamonds and other precious
e stones are manufactured to order here by
n workmen who turn them out at the rate of
g twenty or thirty a minute.
A trip through one of these factories is a
s small education in itself, says The Transcript,
is Over one hundred employees were at work,
d each at his or her place, and the jewelry
g which would be extolled by some fakir as
n "pure gold," was turned out by the gross,
s The article most sold by some firms is a
n collar-button known as the "Dazzler." It
is fine gilt, and sells to jobbers at one dollar
a a gross, net. In the West, when you buy a
y laundried shirt, you will find one of these in
it. Here in the East a bone button is comn
monly used. This is not the cheapest collarl
button made, by any means. Two other
I- varieties are manulactured, one being sold lor
0 eighty-five cents a gross, and the other for
s forty cents. All of these are sold thousands
of gross at a time. The process of manue
facture is not complicated.
Thousands of dollars' worth of goods are
n each year sent from some shops by way of
1 jobbers to Spain, Portugal, France, Germany,
e Mexico, Canada and South America.
y Even in Germany, a protected country,
s some of these firms can undersell the firms
- there. It is to South America that much of
r the export goes, and for this trade, as well
y as for the southern European countries,
jewelry is put up in "sets," each set con"
I taining three shirt studs, a pair of sleevea
I buttons, and a collar-button. Each halfb
I dozen is packed in a pasteboard box with
tissue-paper, and they sell for al^out fifteen
r dollars a gross, net. The wearer probably
d pays about one dollar and fifty cents a set,
d a very fair profit beiDg used up somewhere,
e There is no demand for these sets in the
t United States.
n Quantity and not quality, is what the
it Southern negroes want, and the more flashy
h and showy the jewelry is the better they
r like it. The manufacturers have observed
r that the poorer and more ignorant a people
r is the more if is devoted to jewelry. Opera
neck chains, over a yard long, are sold to
thousands of negresses. They are elect ro',
plated, and would blacken a white woman's
h neck. With the colored men the bigger a
- chain is the better they like it, and a chain is
y made for their especial use that has links
i- three-quarters of an inch long. A good-sized
>f dog couldn't break it.
e But it is in chains that some firms do surt
prising work. Machinery has triumphed in
e this line, and several machines over in one
i- corner of the shop do more work than fifteen
\ girls could do before they were in use. The
i- process of making the chain does not seem to
a require special skill. A girl starts a roll of
g brass wire feeding into the machine, and
e watches it. At the other end of the mai
chinery a curb chain, large as may be dee
sired, flows endlessly and coils upon the
e floor. Each machine will make about fifty
y pounds, or about thirty yards a day. One
s girl used to make about twenty feet a day,
- and get eight cents an hour. In the coloring
e room, after being cut into lengths, the chain

a and swivels are attached, and they are ready
h to be packed. A brass drummer, going
- through the shop, looked at one of the fine
ished chains the other day, and said, "I
i- don't suppose, you get more than ten cents
e apiece for those chains." "No, I guess we
t don't," said the foreman; "we sell them for
- one dollar and fifty cents a gross."
>f Machinery has done much to lower the
!. cost of cuff and collar-buttons. A good
>f workman used to be able to make six hunh
dred "shoes"?a shoe is the back part of a
r, collar-button?in two hours. Now a mas
! chine turns them out at the rate of twelve
y i hundred a minute. On the lower floor the
n j glass work is done. When the glass has
i-1 reached just the required heat the end goes
under a press, a treadle is pushed, a pattern
comes down, and a diamond or ruby or
n sapphire or other gem drops into a box. It
is requires skill to know how to do it, but it
looks easy, if uncomfortable, and beautiful
i- jewels which will go into cuff-buttons that
e will retail for seventy-five cents to one dollar
: a pair, are made while you wait,
e | The expense of even this kind of jewelry
is not light, for every design has to have
:e new "tools" to go into the machines that
it make it, and each set of tools will average
e over fifty dollars in cost. Some firms carry
i about two thousand designs in stock, and
d : about seven hundred of them are new each
! year, an equal number of the .old ones being
d ' discarded. The life of a pattern is less than
1- three years.

and king he will remain. At one factory
y 150 tons of that metal a year changes to

n TEXAS AS HELL,
jf | The following doggerel, which is clipped
ia | from a Northern journal, says the Austin
2-j (Texas) Statesman, is about the hottest
I "roast" southwest Texas has ever received,
j It is said to have been written by a soldier
h j once stationed on the Texas frontier. We
:o | reproduce it u.s sin illustration of how a "snow
y slioveler" pines and frets in Paradise itself,
jr I when yanked from his native iceberg and dei-j
nied the pleasure of toying with the festive
0 1 blizzard, or chopping his matutinal cocktail
of out with a hatchet.
Ie The devil in hell we're told was chained,
y i And a thousand years he there remained ;
m ; He neither conmiained, nor did he groan,
j Hut determined to start a hell of his own
I Where he could torment the souls of men
; Without hoing chained in a prison cell,
i- [ So he asked the Lord if he had on hand
(j I Anything left when he made the land ?
. The Lord said, "Yes, I had plenty on hand
" Hut I left it down on the Kio Grande,
a The fact is, old boy, the stuff is poor,
,t] I don't think you can use it in hell any more."
Hut the devil went down to look at the tru*k,
J And he said if it came as a gilt he was stuck;
it1 For after examining it carefully and well,
! He concluded the place was too dry for u hell,
j So in order to get it off his hand
| The Lord promised the devil to water the land ;
n | For he had some water or rather some dregs,
d A regular cathartic and smelled like had eggs,
j. Hence the trade was closed, the deed was given,
And the Lord went hack to his home in heaven,
j And the devil then said, "Iveall that is needed
l-! To make a good hell," and hence he succeded.
>r He began to put thorns on all the trees,
' j And mixed up the sand with millions of fleas.
l" j lie scattered tarantulas along all the roads,
. Put thorns on the cactus, and horns on the toads.
' He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers,
And put an addition on the rabbit's ears.

?r | And poisoned the feet of the centipede.
'e ( The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings,
ie j The mosquito delights you with his buzzing
fr wings.
> The sandburrs prevail and so do the ants,
j And those who sit down need half soles on their
pants.
(1 The devil then said that throughout the land,
1 He'd manage to keep up the devil's own brand,
' i And all would be "mavericks" unless they bore,
H| Marks of scratches and bites and thorns by the
v! score,
j The heat in the summer is a hundred and ten,
i Too hot for the devil and too hot for men.
j The wild boar roams through the black
ie chaparral,
jj 'Tis a hell of a plaeo he has for a hell.
e Faithfulnkss to Empi.oykks.?There is
j no greater mistake a young man can commit
j than that of being indifferent to the interests
?e | of his employer. It must be admitted that
l- there are circumstances under which it would
p ' seem almost impossible to feel an interest in
j an employer's business; but, for all that, it is
worth a trial. Be faithful in small things,
j be attentive to your duties, shirk no employI
ment that is not dishonorable, feel your employer
is fairly entitled to every minute of
time which you have agreed to give him for
j a stipulated remuneration. The wages may
j be small, too small; but if you have eon!
tracted to work for a dollar a week, when
i your work is worth ten, stick to your bargain
iike a man until your term of service has expired.
It may seem very hard, but it will
instill the great principle of being true to
I your word.
TUB BOYS THAT ARE WANTED.

city looks well from the farm. Perhaps you

successes. Parents midway in the temple
of life, certainly must know more than those
standing on the threshold. It is always safe
to listen to the voices of wisdom and affection.
You may not he permitted to control
all things at home, but please remember before
seeking the larger liberty of the city,
that you control nothing here. You may
wear store clothes, but you must be the servant
of all. Liberty and ease are the fruits
of toil.
The boy who knows more than his parents
and teachers, goes to the wall in the city.
Success depends upon industry, obedience,
economy and purity. Brown hands, clean
tongues and pure hearts are in great demand
in the city. A country loafer becomes a city
loafer, and neither city nor country crowns
loafers. The earthquake . ever breaks the
ground so as to leave the gold at their
feet. Boys whose noble and manly lives are
the guiding impulse of the pastor's hand
when writing letters of commendation, receive
the most cordial welcome from merchants
here.
There is a famine of boys who feel that
God is watching them, and who are true to
their employers because of the loyalty to
their heavenly Master.* The demand for
such is always greater than the supply. In
the clay you must begin way down, but
smilingly submit to the inevitable, and make
each day tell how much, and not how little
good work you can do, and you will be in
the line of promotion. Never desire to coin
a dollar except around the golden rule. You
may not accumulate as rapidly and still love
your neighbor as yourself, but the smile of
God will be upon every dollar. If you are
a country hoy you will not have so many
temptations, perhaps, but every one of "our
boys" will find honesty to be the best policy
at all times and in all places.?Christian at
Work.
They Will Serve out Their Terms.?
Republican postmasters will serve out their
full terms of four years, says a Washington
special to The State, of last Wednesday.
The question was brought to a head by Congressman
Springer, who put this question to
Postmaster General Bissell:
"Suppose that a postmaster appointed by
Mr. Harrison three years ago had died, and
a Republican successor was appointed, will
this man be allowed to serve four years dating
from the orignal commission, or will he
be allowed four years dating from the issue
of his own commission ?"
"He will be allowed," said Mr. Bissell, "to
serve out the four years of his own."
"That is the ultimatum?"
"It's the rule," said Mr. Bissell.
"It's cheerful," said Mr. Springer.
"There are a number of such instances iu
South Carolina," said one of our congressmen
today, in discussing the point, "and,
according to this latest rule, each one of these
postmasters will serve out his term."
Making Postage Stamps.?The mode
of printing postage stamps is slow and tedious.
The design is engraved on steel and
plates are made for 200 stamps. This number
forms a sheet, and no larger number is
ever printed at one impression. The colored
inks are now placed on the plates and a
hand press completes the process. The gum,'
a preparation of powdered vegetables and
water, is put on the sheets, and steam is
used until thoroughly dry. The sheets are
cut into halves, 100 stamps each, by hand,
and the paper between the stamps is perforated
in the same manner. The stamps
are packed ready for sale. The sheets are
counted after each step of completion, and
should one stamp on a sheet be mutilated or
imperfect, the whole 200 are destroyed. It
was found that there was more destruction
of stamps when machinery was used than
when the work was done by hand. Five
nunarea inous&uu suuujjs wciu sumcumco
destroyed in a week.
Give the Boys a Chance.?Father, give
your son a patch of an acre or two this year
for his own, and let him exercise hisjudgment
in preparing the land and planting the crop.
If lie wishes to try a different plan of working
his crop from what you have always pursued,
let him do it. Encourage him to think
for himself. He will take a deeper interest
in farming, and see new beauty in farm life.
A boy who works'always by orders, and is
never given an opportunity for the exercise
of his own judgment, becomes a mere tool,
as it were, and never develops a capacity for
any business. Make him realize that he has a
mind, and tell him that you expect something
of him: and there no better way of doing
this than by giving him a patch of his own,
to be worked by him, the proceeds to be enjoyed
by him. You will lose nothing by it
in a financial point of view, and you will
develop your boy into a thoughtful, industrious
man and farmer.
Keep it to Yourself.?You have trouble,
your feelings are injured, your husband
is unkind, your wife frets, your home is not
I pleasant, your friends do not treat you fairly,
and things in general do not move pleas|
antly. Well, what of it? Keep it to your|
self. A smouldering fire can be found and
| extinguished ; but when the coals are scattered,
who can pick them up? Bury your
sorrow. The place for sad and distrusting
: things is under the ground. A cut finger is
never benefitted by pulling off the plaster
and exposing it to somebody's eye. Tie it
up and let it alone. Charity covers a multitude
of sins. Tilings thus covered are often
covered without a scar, but once published
to meddling friends, there is no end to the
trouble they may cause. Keep it to yourj
self. Troubles arc transient, and when a
j sorrow is healed, what a comfort it is to say :
. "No one knew it until the trouble was over."
Precision in Business Matters.?How
many misunderstandings arise from the loose
way in which business matters are talked
over, and then when each party puts his
own construction on the conversation, the
i matter is dismissed by each with the words,
| "all right, all right." Frequently it turns
I out all wrong, and becomes a question for
, lawyers and the courts. More than tliree,
fourths of the litigation of the country would
. be saved, if people would put down their
agreements in writing and sign their names
i to them. Each word in our language has its
own particular meaning, and memory may,
by the change of its position in a sentence,
convey an entirely different idea from that
intended. When once reduced to writing,
ideas ure fixed, and expensive lawsuits are
avoided.

FOB THE
SUMMER
CAMPAIGN.
WE want our friends, the club
makers, to continue to work
for The Enquirer during the spring,
summer and early fall of this year, and
in order to make it worth their while
to do so, we have decided to make
them liberal offers, and we do it with
the assurance that they will be received
with enthusiasm. We will offer one
LEADING PREMIUM, besides several
smaller ones, which will be awarded
i-1- - _1..L 1 i.
IU LUC ClllU-IUUKClS W11U 11IU) 1 CI 111 11
and pay for the clubs of yearly subscribers
between APRIL 5, 1893,
AND TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24,
1893, at 3 o'clock p. 111., as stated below.
We have for a number of years been
in the habit of using Buggies as premiums,
and experience has taught us
that such a premium meets with general
approval. At first we offered Cincinnati
Buggies, worth about $55, but
found that while they were all that
was claimed for them, they were not
of a grade that fully met the requirements
of this section, and our two last
offers in Buggies have been the product
of our own "Carolina Buggy Company,"
which is acknowledged to be a
leader in the manufacture of high grade
vehicles. These buggies met with the
endorsement of our friends. They
knew that the winner of the buggy
would get something of which any
man might well be proud. Fully realizing
the standing and reputation of
the "Carolina," we have arranged to
offer one of the Company's best
$90.00 Open Buggies
as a premium to the club maker who
returns and pays for the largest number
of subscribers between the dates
named above. ' .
Last year we offered one premium
for the summer campaign, but this
year we propose to give everybody a
chance. We will award a S watch |
?either Elgin or Waltham movement?in
an open face coin silver case,
to every club maker who may return
and pay for SIXTY or more yearly
subscribers between the dates fixed for
the opening and closing of the contest.
For every club of FORTY or more,
and less than sixty, we will give one
7 jewel Elgin watch in an open face
dust proof silver case, worth $13.
For every club of THIRTY, and less
than forty yearly subscribers, we will
award one New York Standard watch
in a dust proof open face coin silver
case, worth $10.
For every club of TWENTY and
less than thirty subscribers, we will
award one New York Standard watch
in an open face nickle case, worth $7.
For every club of TEN we will send
The Enquirer for one year as compensation.
For every club of FIVE and less
than ten, we will give one twenty-four
hour nickle alarm clock, valued at
$1 -75I11
case a club maker who may return
60, 40, 30, 20, 10, or 5 names
should win the buggy, said club maker
will not be entitled to any other
premium.
CONDITIONS.
In this contest OLD and NEW subscribers
count the same, but the name
of no subscriber now on our list, whose
subscription expires after October 24,
1893, can be entered on any club
maker's list to be counted in competition
for any of the premiums offered
under this proposition.

tions expire before October 24,

i be paid for all yearly subscribers,
j In this contest, TWO six months'

The propositions contained in the
j above are open to everybody and any

I SflOS^NLY.
I HAVE been handling agricultural Machinery and Implements for the past four years, and
never since I have been in the business, have I sold any implement or machinery of anykind
to anybody that did not give perfect satisfaction, and which the purchasers do not say are time
and money-savers. No farmer will say that I have induced him to buy something that did not .
enable him to plant, sow, cultivate or gnther his crops at less expense as to time ?nd labor than
ever before, and that there is no comparison as to the character of work done. I am proud of this
record, and perhaps some of my friends would like to know how it has been made. I
For their information I will say that it has been accomplished by NOT SELLING liXPERI- I
MEXTS. I have made it a rule never to handle any machine or implement unless it was recog- J
nizcd as a complete success and was entirely adapted to the needs of tnis section. The following is 1
a list of my specialties:
THE BUCKEYE BANNER BINDER
Is without doubt one of the greatest achievements of the nineteeth century. It does its work per- J
fectly and can be handled with ease by TWO medium sized horses or mules. It is specially adapted
to the needs of this section. It will cut and bind TWENTY acres in a day. Every* machine is
warranted to give perfect satisfaction. Full information will be furnished on application.
THE NEW BUCKEYE MOWER ,
Is the KING OF GRASS GUTTERS. It is the strongest, the least complicated and lightest running
Mower on the market and outsells them all. It is the favorite because it can stand more
rough usago than any otl>or Mower on the market, and because it will cut grass, clover, pea vines
or weeds clean and smooth, and with ease where others choke and fail to work. The NEW
BUCKEYE MOWER IS ABSOULUTKLY THE BEST MOWER in the world, and the farmer *
who tries to get along without one is out sight behind the procession. Send for catalogue.
THE DOLLAR MOWER GRINDER.
Last season I introduced the DOLLAR MOWER GRINDER. I sold all the manufacturers were
able to furnish me, and was forced to decline many orders on account of inability to get the
grinders. Every purchaser was delighted with it. By using it a mower or reaper blade may
be sharpened in a very few minutes by one man, and the teeth left exactly in the same shape as
when new. I expect to make an order for a lot in about ton days, and if YOU have a mower or
reaper you need one. It will pay for itself in ONE DAY. Write me postal and I'll have one put
in tor you. Price $1.00, cash. Can furnish extra stones at 40 cents each. *
CARDWELL'S THRESHER.
I have recently been appointed agent for CARDWELL'S THRESHER AND CLEANER.

PRATT COTTON GINS
Are the recognized lenders. (Jinners of long experience with them and other gins, say they will i
get more and a better quality of lint out of a 100 pounds of seed cotton than any gin on the market. ?.
They are used by such men as Messrs. Curtis M. Parrott, W. S. Wilkerson and Geo. L. Riddle.
Either of these gentlemen can tell why the Pratt Gin is the best. I have recently been appointed
agent for the Daniel Pratt Gin Company and am prepared to give bottom prices and liberal terms.
ABOUT HARROWS. .
I hope some day to know of a Corbin Disk Harrow being on every farm, not only in York
county, but in the South. They would save and make our people thousands of dollars every year.
They would revolutionize our system of tanning. I don't think there is a farmer in the county
who owns one that would be willing to sell out unless he was absolutely certain that he could get
another. The outlook is that I shall have to advance the price within (50 days. You should buy
without a moment's delay. They are not likely to get cheaper. The signs point the other way.
If you need a smoothing harrow, and you do if you havent already got one, you should buy an
EVANS STEEL FRAME LEVER HARROW. They are the best tooth Harrowson the market.
They give satisfaction every time. If you want a cultivating and smoothing harrow the EVANS
WESTERN TRIPPLE IIARROW is the one to buy It has round teetn. Its most valuable
features and striking points arc fully covered by letters of patent, and are used exclusively by its
manufacturers. It will pay you to have one to run over your cotton and corn. You will nna the
Harrow to be a money maker. Send for illustrated circulars. SAM M. GRIST, Yorkville, S C.
