Humorous gcpiittmeut. A Quick Juror.?A judge was once trying a murder case in one of the wire-grass counties and experienced great difficulty in getting a jury. Eleven jurors had beeu sworn in, and in the next panel was brought in a small, lean, lank, cadaverous-looking fellow, who had on only one shoe, his pants being nearly above his knees, his shirt open both front and back, and the aforesaid pants held up by a single brace. The solicitor proceeded to ask the usual questions in such cases as follows: "Have you, from having seen the crime committed or having heard any of the testimony delivered under oath, formed or expressed any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner at the bar?" The single-brace fellow in a clear and distinct voice, answered: "Not any." "Have vou any prejudice or bias resting on your mind for or against the prisoner at the bar?" "I hain't." "Is your mind perfectly impartial between the State and the accused ?" "Hit air." "Are you conscientiously opposed to capital punishment?" "I isn't." The judge didn't like the juror much, but it being late and jurors scarce, he was "put on" the prisoner in the usual manner, the clerk saying: "Juror, look upon the prisoner; prisoner, look upon the juror." The juror was close to the prisoner, and when this command was given he bent over him, scanning him from head to foot intently for some minutes. He then turned to the judge and said in a firm, solemn voice : "Yes, judge, I think he's guilty." Mixed the Bill ok Fare.?He seemed to be all right when he sat down to the table, and the waiter busied around getting him in shape for his dinner while he studied the bill of fare. He was rather unsteady possibly, but as he had not eaten anything for eighteen hours that was not surprising. "Well, sir, what will you have?" asked the waiter. "Tock murtle soup and coiled bodfish," he replied, holding up the bill. The waiter was disturbed. "What, sir?" he asked. "Tock murtle soup and coiled bodfish," he repeated, and the waiter snickered and /v.ti went uui. He came back in a few minutes with the order, and the guest took up the bill again. "Bring me," he said, slowly, "some meg of lutton with saper cause, some bibs of reef and hoiled bam, pashed motatoes, pried farsnips, prench feas, and, waiter, wind her up with' some mince mie, pago sudding, ruts and naisins, and a cof of cuppie." This time the waiter was almost thrown off his feet, and he stared at his customer iu amazement. The guest returned the stare in huzy consciousness and shook his head slowly. > "Don't seem to sound right, does it?" he asked. "I'm sure something is wrong with it, but it looks that way on the bill, and I've got to eat it or starve ;" and the waiter turned away hesitatingly and moved off to the kitchen. Would See Her Later.?A university car was filled with all sorts and conditions of passengers, the other day, says the Chicago Tribune, conspicuous among them being . a crowd of jolly university students. Opposite the boys sat a hard featured female, evidently on her way from the meeting at the exposition. Next her sat a bright-faced woman talking with a friend. Naturally the talk drifted upon the subject of the revival meetings, and the friend asked, "I suppose you have been to some of them ?" "No, I have not," the other replied. "I haven't had timeand as she spoke she signalled the conductor to let her off the car. At her words the hard-featured female sitting next to her quickly turned, and leaning forward, said, in solemn tones, "Haven't had time! Will you have time to go to hell?" The car had stopped, and as the lady reached the door she hurriedly retorted, "IfI have, I'll see you later." Then she stepped into the street, perfectly conscious of having been able to squelch a woman who didn't know enough to inind her own business. A Book Agent's Wit.?Ready wit and imperturbable good humor are essential portions of the successful book agent's stock in trade. This was strikingly illustrated the other day when one of these much-abused, but industrious and enterprising individuals, contrived to gain access to an irascible and profane bank president, who possessed the somewhat rare virture of being able to appreciate a joke at his own expense. "Get out of here, and, and go to hell !" he exclaimed to the book agent, before the icinocu JULICI liUU UUiC IU OVOIV iUO uuuiuv^i "Thank you," replied the itinerant vender of literature, bowing and backing toward the door. "Then I shall have the pleasure of seeing you again." Everybody in the room laughed, the banker included, and when the noise had subsided he promptly made atonement for his rudeness in his own peculiar fashion. "That's one on me," he said. "I'll take $;") worth of whatever you are selling and will cry quits. And when we meet again I hope it will be where everybody sings hymns." ? - ? Nicely Taken In.?A certain local professor on one occasion was lecturing to his class on the means of diagnosing disease by the external appearance, face, and other details of the patient. Expressing his beliel that a patient before the class allorded an example of the practice in question, the professor said to the individual: "Ah! you are troubled with gout!" "No, sir,"suid the man, "I've never had any such complaint!" "But," said the professor, "your father must have had gout!" "No, sir," was the reply; nor my mother either!" "Ah, very strange," said the professor to his class. "I am convinced that this man is a gouty subject. I see that his front teeth show all the characteristics which we art accustomed to note in gout." "Front teeth !" ejaculated the patient. "Yes," retorted the professor; "I am convinced my diagnosis is correct. You have gout, sir!" "Well, that beats everything," replied the man ; "it's the first time, sir, I've ever heard of false teeth having the gout! I've had this set for the last ten years!" It Never Yariei? a Second.?As the} passed the city hall, says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, they all pulled out their watches to compare them with the municipal time. The l'rice Hill man slipped his hunting-case into his pocket again, and remarked : "You may say what you pleasi about fine timepfeces, but I've got a clicaj clock up at the house, that I bought twenty years ago, that has never varied a second from the day I bought it to this." "What?" panted the crowd. "That's right?I bought it twenty years ago for three dollars; took it home, placed il 011 the mantel, set its hands, and wound il up?and from that day to this it has not varied a second." "Wonderful!" "Stupendous!" "Amazing!" "Not a second "No, sir, not a second," said the man fron Price Hill. "The mainspring broke when I wound it up, and it nas never vuneu i second from that instant." ? ?

Try a candy party and see if you do not, fiijoy yourself more than you had ever done n before at such an affair. Why ? because at n , your novel candy party you are going to | make some very nice candy and conduct the j n] party on regularly organized principles that' al will insure its success. ? j The materials required lor ine eauay party are teft pounds of confectioner's sugar?ob- <j ) tained at auy grocer's?five strictly fresh ej eggs, a cake of chocolate, half a pound of ,,, dates, a small cptanity ofdessieated cocoanut, ^ some vanilla flavoring and a few drops of a peppermint or wintergrecn. You have now on hand the ingredients for ^ fifteen or more pounds of candy?much ]s more than you care to make, no doubt?so ^ you may, if you please, get only half the ^ quantity of sugar. But it is more satisfac- a] tory to work with the large quanity. jr Let the mistress of ceremonies break the five eggs into a large earthen bowl, and ? then, without beating the eggs, add to them an equal quanity of water. Now begin to stir in sugar. It should be added a cup- j)( ful at a time until the candy mixture is so y stiff that the arm of the stirrer refuses to per- |r form its task. y This is the critical part of French candy p making. It should be so stiff that it will tj stand alone, like brocaded velvet. j,. Now add a little vanilla flavoring to the compound, and let the amount of vanilla be a, determined upon by the couple you have designated at the beginning of the evening y as "tasters." All hands now fall at work upon the mix- a tare in the bowl. It must be quickly and sj deftly molded into chocolate drops, each one ^ of which is quickly stirred in the melted w chocolate by the couple presiding over the Sl chocolate pan. j,i When enough chocolate drops have been j)( made and set away upon glazed paper to ^ cool, a cupful of the mixture is taken out e, and mixed with the dessicated cocoanut, and q then rolled into cakes by the couple appoint- jc ed to look after the interest of the cocoanut g. candy. Little balls of the sugar mixture S( are pressed into the stoneless dates to make the "cream" dates of the candy store, and fe balls of it are pressed closely between the y halves of English walnuts for the "cream" ,r or French walnuts. ^ If peppermint drops are desired or winter- NV green lozenges, a portion of the mixture may 0! be flavored with these essences instead of ; with vanilla. ,, ? ? ? FEEDING HOGS. I The ration that can be supplied to the g hogs to the best advantage depends upon H : the conditions. About the only rule that w i can be given is to feed enough to secure the sl 1 result desired. ti Growing pigs need a ration that will de- n velop bone and muscle. If they can have tl ; the run of a good clover or grass pasture, less o feed will be needed than if they must depend p upon what is supplied to them. The feed ci ! should consist of materials that will make t< i growth rather than fat. They must be kept S thrifty and the quantity of the rations will tl . be determined by their condition. In fat- ci tening hogs it is necessary to feed all that n | they will cat up clean at each meal, and it is p an item to stimulate the appetite. As with tl growing pigs, the fattening hogs will need ci less if they have good pasturage than if they tl , must depend upon dry feed alone. h A sow that is suckling a litter of pigs is I tl a voracious eater and must be fed liberally i n J if she supplies her pigs with plenty of milk, j n ; Not only must the quantity be liberal, but [ A | it must be composed of the right materials, j tl i A fattening ration is neither good for a sow ! ci that is suckling pigs nor one that is kept " ; for breeding, nor for a breeding boar. It is ei | only when finishing for market that a fat- v tening ration can be used to advantage, y I For this reason the ration of the suckling tl i sow should consist largely of slops, bran, b Ishipstuff, oil meal, ground oats, milk, the h water from the kitchen, etc. She can nearly j si always be fed all she will cat up clean of| j this. After she weans her pigs she should be j liberally fed until she is bred again, and 1 i then her rations should be sufficient to keep 1 her in good, thrifty condition. With both ,l the boar and the sow fat is rather a detri- n rnent than a benefit. At the same time it is n ! very important to keep them vigorous and 1 P S thrifty; the more fully this is done the better j!! I will be the quality of the pigs. Liberal feed| ing always pays with hogs, as a quick . j growth and an early maturity are necessary i to secure the best profit, but in determining |.' the ration the condition must always be!Ifc considered ; and generally while over feeding j ? is to be avoided liberal feeding will give better j . results than stunting. Let the purpose for 1. which the feeding is done determine what j the ration should be.?The Republic. I * IS) Mkdicink fok J'Abm Animals.?A writer j i in [the American Agriculturist recommends , i\ wood ashes as a valuable medicine for farm ! ri animals. After a long experience of twen- ! n ty years in raising swine, he finds that his 10 ! herds are most effectually protected from : fo hog cholera by keeping wood ashes, rich in j charcoal, mixed with salt constantly before 1 jt them in a covered box, with holes near the i tj bottom. The hogs work the mixture out j jj through these holes as fast as they want it. ' j The idea of the writer is apparently good. I [ The phosphates which enter into the com-1 position of wood ashes are doubtless excellent germicides. Animals inoculated with " the baccalli of Asiatic cholera by means of infected food survive the experiment because .l the germs are killed or rendered inoperative,11 by the gastric juice. And it is well known s< that the power of both men and animals to " resist almost any kind of infection is increas-! 1 ed by strengthening acids of the stomach. \ The writer referred to has found that the best condition powder is a mixture of three j ? parts of wood and ashes to one of salt.?

The doctor, in response, wrote him e: ressing the thanks of the colonies for tl internal care of (treat Britain for her cob ies so strongly manifested, and that as a xpression of American gratitude, he had tl onor to inform him that he had this day sei i 111 by the return ship a collection of ratth nakes, and would respectfully suggest tin e have them introduced into his majesty arden at Kew in order that they might pn ogate and increase, at the same time assurin is excellency that they would be as benel ial to his majesty's English dominions i .ritish convicts were to his American posse ions. pOVAl, w POWDER Absolutely Pure.

From The Medical Mont lily, London, Filmland. 1 I * rn ej The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, I e j which began operations in this country in lKHii, tl oilers life insurance at cost. This association was 4.1. established in America in lfwi, and conducts its h business with an amount of energy and success w i- which is unprecedented in the history of life as- r r sunince. It is founded upon the natural pre- ^ inium system?which means an increasing pre- al n minni from year to year, or as the life gets older, d The association, though adopting this system to ^ as u principle, applies it, however, by giving ' I life assurance protection at cost, the members having never been called upon to pay more SC ;. than the premium originally charged at the age a j of entry, and these premiums have been about ' half the usual rates charged by other ordinary il ' companies. Theoretically the natural premium i requires an increasing premium every year, but 10 e even by adopting an increasing rate from year (r to year the accumulations would grow to an nb- . | normal extent, because the death rate does not lb ' increase as indicated by the table. In fact, co-op- jjj >f oration and not accumulation has been proven . 3 to be the true underlying principle of life assur- til .' ancc. er ? It is admitted by actuaries that the premiums ; e as now fixed are far too high to cover the actual CI >t risk, and hence we find there is a tendency to c \ decrease the life assurance premium. Such ac- 10 C tion is indeed beneficial, not only to the public \\ n but to the ollice itself, and looking at it from a , s broad basis, as we venture so think it should be, it is doing the nation a service. 211 '1- "Life insurance companies help most of us to provide for our families after we are gone, but 01 e if we have the money to pay for insurance and il do not insure, we have no right to expect mercy ! at the hands of (Jod in the judgment; we are; ir ' worse than Tom I'aine, worse than Voltaire." I i ' The above is quoted from a sermon preached i o by the ltev. T. dc Witt Talmage in 1887. Al- j \*< o tliough it is strong language, we cannot do better j ) than to act upon it. The Mutual Reserve cer- ei ' tainly enables the poor man to make provision j k J and gives him a better chance to provide for his >f I family than most companies. W d There are many advantages in joining an American company, as the security is as a rule jl better than in llritish companies, in the fact that al " they are under State supervision of a very rigo- 4.1. o rous description. The late Lord Sherbrokc jf (Robert Lowe), when introducing the Life As- oi sociation Act of 1870, at that time Chancellor of n the Exchequer, said: is "In New York there is absolute despotic powit or over the companies of investigating the ac- ft* . counts at all times; the companies are under '' the absolute and perfect control of oflieers appointed by the State." D< d That the Mutual Reserve is under good man;1 agement must be accepted after the commissioner's reports, and which have all boon confirmed by Messrs. Price, Waterhouse A Co., ofGreshani r street, London. Therefore all we have to ask IC j_ ourselves is, can the association go on giving y< . | life assurance at .cost? And inasmuch as its 3, u cost is regulated by the mortality experience, Cl a with a limited amount for expenses, it behooves _ d us to investigate the character of its premiums; the following quotation in this respect may lead If j ns unto the right direction. 4, "Mortality," says I)r. Southwood Smith, and le I wo need 110 greater authority, "is subject to a ai ,1 law the operation of which is* as regular as that . of gravitation." While Mr. Rabbage, who Sl looked at the subject more particularly in its is bearing upon life assurance, says, "Nothing is ir more proverbially uncertain than the duration I jf of human life, when the maxim is applied to an j ^ individual, but there are few things less subject to tluctuation than the average duration of life j g in a multitude of individuals." .]. 's| The saving of the premium with the system | is under two heads only, viz.: Reserve and j Expense. Are reserves necessary? Yes, but .1 it not to the extent that the old companies have 11 ig accumulated them, for although they have paid jf large bonuses, surrender values, endowment . assurances, annuities, etc., today they have D 0 over ?.'100,000,000 reserve?monumental evidence ;e 1 of overcharge. Our friends and relatives in ' 1S j the last generation might have covered themselves for twice the amount of insurance for the i? same outlay. h The American companies appear to make a1 d headway in this country as much the result of e their liberality as their strength, and this was 11 demonstrated in rather a forcible way by that r' keen "and learned judge, Commissioner Kerr, ^ V' who, in summing up a case in February, l.SftJ, I n which had come before him, where an English p * company had taken some proceedings anent a " ', policy, he used these significant words: "\Vhcn I am told about assurance compainies ti being liberal, I am very apt to rise against it, ,y because experience is not so, and further stated 11 *, that the way to save trouble is to go to one of the m new American ofliecs, which do business in a * I different way to the old ollices." We have given life assuntnee much study for , I many years past, and we must say that the Mil- G st i tual Reserve is one of the most remarkable in- s] jc stitutions the world has ever seen. The amount J of business it is effecting in Great Britain places ei . it in the front rank with home companies, aif though it has only been in active operation here 1 d for a period of six years. It has introduced a new principle worthy the attention of all as" J surers. |e | The plans, rates and terms of the Mutual Ree serve will be cheerfully furnished on applicaie tion, or a rcpresentivc will call on persons interCI n ested when a requested to do so. y (ft 11ST BROS.

FOR THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN. i \ JE want our friends, the clubl V V makers, to continue to work I ir Thk Enquirkk during the spring, j linnier and early fall of this year, and j i order to make it worth their while > do so, we have decided to make j lem liberal offers, and we do it with [ le assurance that they will be received j ltli enthusiasm. VVe will oiter onei E A DING PREMIUM, besides seversmaller ones, which will be awarded the club-makers who may return id pay for the clubs of yearly stibribers between APRIL 5, 1893, ND TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 593, at 3 o'clock p. 111., as stated bew. We have for a number of years been i the habit of using Buggies as preliunis, and experience has taught us lat such a premium meets with gen- _ al approval. At first we offered Cinnnati Buggies, worth about $55, but V 11 lid that while they were all that as claimed for them, they were not " a grade that fully met the rcquireents of this section, and our two last fers in Buggies have been the product (l() " our own "Carolina Buggy Compay," which is acknowledged to be a 1 ader in the manufacture of high grade; diicles. These buggies met with the j p,. idorsement of our friends. They I new that the winner of the buggy! ould get something of which any lan might well be proud. Fully reizing the standing and reputation of le "Carolina," we have arranged to fer one of the Company's best [ $90.00 Open Buggies ; a premium to the club maker who :turns and pays for the largest 1111111sr of subscribers between the dates " amed above. 3 Last year we offered one premium 6 >r the summer campaign, but this ear we propose to give everybody a lauce. We will award a $25 watch -either Elgin or Waltham movelent?in an open face coin silver case, > every club maker who may return ad pay for SIXTY or more yearly lbscribers between the dates fixed for ic opening and closing of the contest. For every club of FORTY or more, ad less than sixty, we will give one jewel Elgin watch in an open face 11st proof silver case, worth $13. For every club of THIRTY, and less; lan forty yearly subscribers, we will j ward one New York Standard watch i a dust proof open face coin silver lse, worth $10. For every club of TWENTY and ?ss than thirty subscribers, we will ward one New York Standard watch 1 an open face nickle case, worth $7. For every club of TEN we will send J hiK Enquirkr for one vear as com- to * an ensation. on For every club of FIVE and less ev . rei ian ten, we will give one twenty-four Fc our nickle alarm clock, valued at *j. 1.75. a 1 I11 case a club maker who may reirn 60, 40, 30, 20, 10, or 5 names lould win the buggy, said club makr will not be entitled to any other ^ rem in 111. .

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 ofanykind anybody that did not give perfect satisfaction, and which the purchasers do. not say are time d money-savers. No farmer will say that I have induced him to buy something that did not able him to plant, sow, cultivate or gather his crops at less expense as to time and labor than er before, and that there is no comparison as to the character of work done. I am proud of this ? . ord, and perhaps some of my friends would like to know how it has been made. ?r their information I will say that it has been accomplished by NOT SELLING EXPERIMENTS. I have made it a rule never to handle any machine or implement unless it was reeogr.ed as a complete success and was entirely adapted to the needs of this section. The following is ist of iiiy specialties: PRATT COTTON GINS e the recognized leaders, dinners of long experience with them and other gins, say they will t more and a better quality of lint out of a 100 pounds of seed cotton than any gin on the market, lis gin lias now been before the people FOR .SIXTY YEARS and during that time the Daniel att Gin company has made and sold more than THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND of them, le cut shown above represents the Improved Revolving Head Gin with Feeder and Condenser, is a front feeder. Here area few of the advantages possessed bv the Pratt over other gins: i revolving head (patented and used exclusively on the Pratt) renders choking almost impossii; the chances of injury to operatives are less than on any other gin ; the feeder and condener are knowledged to be the best and are used on thousands of gins of other makes. Other strong ints might be mentioned but those who are interested can get more satisfactory information 11111111 illustrated catalogue which I will furnish free on application.

Three chances to one you have realized for the last four years that a Corbin Disk Harrow is almost an absolute necessity on your farm, but owing to certain facts unnecessary to mention re, have put oil' buying from year to year, and have lost twice the cost of the Harrow each year not having one.

If you prose to sow your stuhhlc land in pens you can put in from live to eight acres a day with a Corbin irrow and without the assistance of a plow, and the work will be properly done and NOT ON THE LICK AND A PROMISE m yle so common in this section.

It is the favorite because it can stand more ugh usage than any other Mower on the market, and because it will cut grass, clover, pea vines weeds clean and smooth, and with ease where others choke and fail to work.
