gmuoTGus Department.1 A Cheeky Midshipman.?On hoard of a man-of-war bound home from China was a i young midshipman named Jones. The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, ( and every hour it was their duty to come' aft and write up the weather columns of the . ship's log, showing the readings of the ha-1' rometer, thermometer, and to heave the chip- j. log for her speed. The captain, in company with the officer ; of the deck, was conversing when Midship- j* man Jones came aft to write up the log.; The barometer, a mercurial one, was hung < in the captain's cabin, and Jones, after hav- j i ing read it, helped himself liberally to the j sherry on the cabin sideboard. In walking j c tilt? puup, tiic ta^iaiu na^;j;tutu vv f.jiuuvv j i down the cabin skylight, and saw the midshipman's proceedings. When Jones came j' up on the poop to heave the log, the captain ; i addressed him as follows : "How is the barometer, sir ?" j Jones saluted, and said : "Steadily rising, j t sir; steadily rising." The captain then asked : "And how is the I ( decanter, sir?" Jones was taken aback, but with a steady | voice replied: "Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling." 1 This reply was too much for the captain, ? and bursting out laughing, he said : "Young j man it is a long way to 'Frisco, so hereafter c I beg of you not to consult the decanter as ' often as you do the barometer. . 1 Out I Come.?In the days gone by, a ' 1 Detroit sheriff who had made a close shave of being elected, had the ill-luck to lose a t prisoner from jail. The fellow made his es- ? cape to the country, but the sheriff overhauled him about eight miles out, and drove t him under a barn. The prisoner was cap- \ tured and yet he was not. If he could not get out the sheriff could not get in, and ^ threats had no effect on him. In this emer- * gency the officer called out: "Say, Jim." . "Yes." "You know I had a mighty close shave getting this office ?" "You did that." "Well, I'm laying my pipes for a second ( term. If I lose you I might as well hang up. The opposition will hold it up in letters 1 four feet high, and hundreds of men in my own party will slip my name. Do you hear me ?" ? "I do." "Well, I ask you to come out, not exactly 1 nc ft nrissnnpr crninc hack t.O in.il. hut more as ~ o- o J 7 ? a patriot bound to stand by his party. Come Jim." "I'll be hanged if I don't," replied the prisoner. "The judge was agin me, my sentence was unjust, and I hate your jail, but if it's going to help the party and crush the hydra-headed opposition, out I come !" Praying for the Printers.?The Rev. Mr. S., of New York, was at one time a highly valued contributor to the journal of which he afterward took charge, and being one day introduced to its editor, was greeted with every expression of cordiality and respect. It was a great pleasure to meet one whose services had been, etc., etc. "But," added the editor, turning upon him and seizing his hand with a sudden earnestness, and with solemnity in his face, "I hope you pray for my printers!" The minister replied, "That he was happy to offer his prayers in behalf of any oue who were in need of them ; but what was j the special urgency in this case ?" | "Ah!" answered the editor, shaking his | head impressively, "if you could but hear I them swear when they get to work on your ; manuscript!" No Use for That Dollar.?Jim Webster met Sam Johnsing, and said: "Sam! Can yer lend me a dollar that yer has no use for?" "Certainly, Jim," said Sam, handing over a dollar. Jim in his surprise bit the coin to see if he was awake and in so doing discovered that it was made of lead. "This yere is a counterfeit, Sam ; I didn't think you'd do me that way." "I know its counterfeit, Jim; yer asked me for one I had no use fur, and I give it ter yer. If it had been a good one I should have had a use for it. 'Pears as if you don't sagaciate much, Jim!" ?6T0ne night a judge, a military officer, ! aud a minister applied for a night's lodging !1 at an inn, where there was but one spare 1 bed, and the landlord was called upon to decide which had the best claim out of the J three. "I have lain fifteen years in the garrison at A." said the officer. "I have sat as ; * judge twenty years at R., said the judge.! 1 "With your leave, gentlemen, I have stood j for twenty-five years in the ministry at M.," ' < said the minister. "That settles all dispute," i { said the landlord. "You, Mr. Captain, have !' lain fifteen years; you, Mr. Judge, have sat ] twenty years; while this old gentleman has j been standing for the last twenty-five years,! ] so he certainly has the best claim to the i bed." j Two Smart Women.?Mother (anxiously) ' ?I am told that your husband plays poker | every night at the club?plays for money, i too. i| Married Daughter?That's all right. He ] gives me all his winnings? "What ? Do you?" j "And he always plays with Mr. Nexdoor." ] "What difference can that make ?" "Mrs. Nexdoor makes her husband give 1 her his winnings, too, and then she gives the |5 money to me, and I hand her what my husband won from hers, and so we both have I < about twice as much money as we could < get out of them otherwise."?N.

Ilis wife's mother 1 was inclined to be harsh in her judgment, as ; that relative of a man or woman sometimes is. One day after he had been discussing a . point and had gone out, the old lady made , U few remarks. "You shouldn't talk so," j i apologized his wife. "Harry is full of con-!] tradictions."

He was sleeping alone for the first , time, also, and his little heart was very heavy. The room wa^dark, the house was , strange, the mice in the wall made frightful noises. Bennie's soul was filled with appre- J hension, and after a while he lifted up his voice and wept sorely. "What is the matter,' Bennie?" called his aunt from an adjoining : room. "The matter ?

THE UI HSTION OF IMN MONHV. I never lmve live cents, even for postagedamps, without asking for it." The speaker ,vas a young wife who in her girlhood earned regular wages as a seamstress, and when narried found her financial position changed. F.ben held the purse string and made plenty pf money, new machinery was often needed, mprovements must he made, hired hands ost a good deal, and so no allowance was bought of for the wife, who had the position pf "nurse, seamstress, housemaid, cook,"' ivith the added duties of motherhood. "I always have a lump in my throat when [ ask for a dollar," she said, "and I used to ro to his poeketbook for spare change, for at lie marriage service he said, 'With all my vorldly goods I thee endow.'

DEATH TO MOTHS. The moth miller makes her appearance petween the middle of April and the last of rune, and if the eggs are in any garment vlien put away it will be damaged in the fall, 10 matter how many preventives have been tsed. Give the garments to be*put away and vhich cannot be washed, a thorough shaking ind brushing and expose them to the sun's ays a few hours. Then put them into papcr flour sacks. Fold the edges of the sack ind paste over it a thickness of muslin or iaper, thereby sealing it so securely that he moth miller cannot get in. Another way :o outwit her is to paper a large box on the nside, lill it with the woolen garment, fit on ;hc cover, then paste paper all over the nitside. To protect furniture and carpets, saturate strips of red flannel with a solution of arselic and lay them under the edges of the jarpet and inside the lining of the furniture jovers. The worm will eat of bhcm and lie. Moths are especially fond of babies' clothes, [f the miller finds a spot where milk has )ecn, she will deposit her eggs there. A ivool mattress is another place for which she shows great partiality, and it is hard to prevent her from depositing eggs someivherc in it. The best remedy is to prop the nattross up on blocks of wood out in the fard and set under it a dish of live coals, m which you must sprinkle sulphur from ime to time. Care must be used to prop it ugh enough not to become scorched. Remember that whatever you use must jc used in time to prevent the moth from iepositing her eggs, as there are few things hat will kill the worm. Oil of cedar, turpentine, camphor, oil of cloves or winterjreen will keep the worm away, but evaporate quickly and should be used early and enewed often. They kill neither moth nor vorm and must be strong to be effective. SOME COTTON FKJL'KES. There was last year considerable discusiion created by a statement from Hon. R. T. S^esbitt that cotton could be raised in Georgia for 3J cents per pound. The discussion vas, in some of its phases, both interesting md amusing, since every intelligent farmer ould see at a glance that the Commissioner )f Agriculture of Georgia had simply stated lain facts, and that cotton per se could not >nly be raised for 3J cents, but really for ess. Inclosed I give you the cost of producion and the proceeds from 1 1-1(5 acre in :otton. The cotton was grown by one of myneighx>rs, who is the village blacksmith. The >vork, including horse hire for plowing, was ill employed by the day, and was paid for it the regular wages for such work, which .vould necessarily come a little higher than t would cost the farmer who owned his ior.se and employed his help by the year. Below I give you the figures as taken from lis day book : 300 pounds of fertilizer, $ 3 75 Preparation, pluutingund plowing four times .'5 00 Picking 1,000 pounds, 4 so Ginning and hauling 1 25 Total $12 so The weight of the bale was ">(55 pounds md sold for 9 cents a pound. The hoeing he did himself, in the morning el'ore time to go to his shop, but had this jeen hired, it would have added only $1.50 :o the cost of the crop. This added in would jritig the whole cost up to $14.30, or 2 (50 1-13 ;ents per pound. The main difference in the cost of cotton production is the difference between good and and poor land, with some allowance or the sound judgment and executive ubili:y of the individual farmer. ?C. M.

CHARACTER AM) CREDIT. We often hear young men who have small j means, dolefully contrasting their lot with that of rich men's sons. Vet the longer we j live, the more we are convinced that the old j merchant was right, who said to us when) we began life, "Industry, my lad, is better than ingots of gold, and character more valuable than credit*'' We could furnish, ifi , need were, from our own experience, a ' score of illustrations to prove the truth of ! his remark. In all branches of business, in ! all avocations, character, in the long run is the best capital. Says poor Richard: The j sound of your hammer at 5 in the morning j or nine at night, heard by a. creditor, makes him easy six months longer; hut if he sees you at a billiard table, or hears your voice , at a tavern when you should be at work, he | j sends for his money next day. What is true of the young mechanic is! true also of the young merchant, or the j young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms will j not .long continue to give credit for thou- j ! sands of dollars when they see the purchas- i : er, if a young man, driving fast horses orl j hanging around drinking saloons. Clients ' j will not entrust their cases to those advo-! I cates, however brilliant, who frequent the j j card table, the wine party or the race course.} j It is better in beginning life to secure a rep- j | utation for industry and probity, than to own 1 , houses and lands, if with them you have no1 character. ! A facility of opening credit at* the outset i is often an injury instead of a benefit. It' has almost passed into a proverb, in conse-' : qucnce, thut the sons of rich men never make ! | good business men. To succeed in life we j ! must learn the value of money. But a su-j perfluity of means at the outset is nearly ai ] certain method of rendering us insensible to [ its value. No man ever grew rich who had ; not learned and practiced the adage, "if you ! take care of the pennies the dollars will take [ care of themselves." Knowledge ol men, j | self discipline, a thorough mastery of our| [pursuit, and other qualifications, which all ; persons of experience look for, are necessary | ! to give the world security that a young man i is of the right metal. Capital may he lost but character never. Credit once gone, the j | man without character falls. But he who | ! has earned a reputation for capacity, integ- j j rity and economy, even if he loses his cap- j | ital, retains his character, retains his credit, j I and rises trumphant over bankruptcy itself.! [ A man with character can never be ruined.! ! It is the first thing that a young man should j ! seek to secure ; and it may he had by every I j one who desires it in earnest. A poor boy ; with character is more fortunate by far than [ a rich man's sons without it. Thk Murmurixo Ska.?"They use to; ! tell me when I was hoy," said a middle-aged ! j man, "that if I would hold up to my ear a | sea shell of a certain kind I would hear in it I the murmuring of the sea. I have tried it | many times and it never failed. I "Now comes my son, a hoy of 12, who ' holds up a tumbler at the dinner table and ! says: "Pop, do you want to hear the sea mur-: ; mur?" j "And I say yes, and then lie holds the i mouth of the tumbler to his ear and I do; | likewise with mine, and, bless my heart! j there's the murmur, sure enough. "And then the hoy goes 011 to talk about; j.sound waves, and to tell me just what makes . the sound in the tumbler, and all that sort j of thing. And 1 say to myself it's a fine | ! thing 110 doubt, the advanced education that ; the boys of the present generation are get-1 jting; and yet I am not altogether pleased ; | to have one of the pleasantest of old fancies ; disposed of so summarily. I like tumblers 1 well enough to drink out of, but I think I'd rather have my sea murmuring out of a sea ; shell." * t ? | Character.?Many people seem to forget that character grows; that it is not some-! I thing to put 011 ready-made with woman1 hood or manhood ; but day by day, here a ; little and there a little, grows with the: ! growth, and strengthens with the strength, 1 I until, good or bad, it becomes almost a coat i (of mail. Look at a man of business?j ! prompt, reliable, conscientious, yet, clear-! headed and energetic. When do you supI pose he developed all those admirable quuli-1 ! ties ? When he was a boy ? Let us see how ! a boy of 10 years gets up in the morning, works, plays, studies, and we will tell you just what kind of a man he will make. The | i)oy that is late at breakfast, late at school, ! stands a poor chance to be prompt a businessj j man. The boy that neglects his duties, be 1 they ever so small, and then excuses himself by saying, "I forgot!" will never be a; reliable man. And the boy who finds pleasure in the sufferings of weaker things, will! never be a noble, generous, kind man?a j gentlemen.?Christian Helper. 1 Our Envelopes.?"Possibly it may be interesting to some of your readers," said Mr. William 1). Smith, a large Massachusetts I envelope manufacturer, "to know how many ! envelopes are used annually in this country.' How many do you suppose? Well, of course, we can only give approximate fig-; ures. I should say about 138,000,000 of all classes and qualities. This necessitates the I use of something like 1,000,000 pounds of J j paper, which, cut into one long strip of pa-; I per of the ordinary thickness and three inch- i es wide, would reach from New York to San Francisco and one-fourth of the way back, j Laid down flat it would cover the whole of Washington and you could do many other equally remarkable things with it.

Men and women survived all the former, says tlie writer, and at last, reached an extreme old age; but it may be safely doubted whether a single instance can he found of a man of violent or irascible temper, habitually subject to ungovernable passion, who has arrived at a very advanced period of life. It is therefore a matter of the highest importance to cYery one desirous of preserving "a sound mind , and body," to have special care, among all ' the vicissitudes of life, to maintain a quiet ! possession of his own spirit. - ? tfcfT Errors to be dangerous, says Sydney ^ "< 1. li.n'n ? ii iuml <tf t >*ii t li min. kT?I I i I L 11, 111 unt n?i > v ??, w i V(u *tv in \rt u mui uaaiijrlcd with them : it is only from this alliance that they can ever obtain an extensive circulation : from pure extravagance ami genuine, 1 umninglcd faslehood the world never has and never can sustain any mischief.

You cannot leave a fortune for your wife and children, and would not if you could. finite right; but there is a wide difference between that and leaving them destitute. Your income is probably only sufficient for ] necessities, and in this you also form one of a large constituency.

Insure your life for as much as you 1 possibly can, and thus give your boys and girls a chance'in life, and minimize the possibilities of untold misery.?Insurance Agent and Review. A f!HKCiAN Morai,.?A countryman, in the 1 old Grecian time, was driving his wagon to market over a muddy road, when suddenly his wheels sunk into their hubs and the horse stop- 1 pod. Without putting his shoulder-to the wheel, without, in fact, making the least effort, lie be- ' gnu to call upon his god, Hercules, for help. Hercules answered him to lay a hand to his own load, reminding him that the gods helped those J who helped themselves. The moral of this is that it is not faith, hut unpardonable eheek, for a man who neglects or refuses to insure his < life to say that Providence will care for his lamily, if lie dies poor. Providence is a good provider, but for men of that kind he generally j; provides a poorhouse.?John It. liegeman. What is an iNsrnAxen Aoknt.?'The life |1 insurance a pent is not a bore. He is a creator of;, wealth. He is a saver of estates. He is a payer i' of mortgages. He is almoner to widows. He; is the protector of orphans. He is an organizer j of comfort.

The following texts are worthy of consid- j oration by the uninsured : "A good man lcavcthan inheritance to his children." "Withhold not good from them to whom it is due." "A j prudent man foresee!h the evil and hideth him- j self." "Ifany provide not for his own, and especially those of his own house, he hath denied j the faith and is worse than an infidel."

WE want our friends, the club; makers, to continue to work! for Thk Exquirkr during the spring, j 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 ofTer one LEADING PREMIUM, besides sever al smaller ones, which will be awarded to the club-makers who may return 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 if a grade that fully met the requirements of this section, and our two last affers in Buggies have been the product I af our own "Carolina Buggy Compa-J uy," which is acknowledged to be a 1 leader in the manufacture of high grade vehicles. These buggies met with the, endorsement of our friends. They I 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 affer one of the Company's best $90.00 Open Buggies is 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 $25 watch ?either Elgin or Waltham movement?in an open face coin silver case, to every club maker who may return 1 r_ ? nrvm\r ana pay ior oiajl i ui muic \can> subscribers between the dates fixed for the opening and closing of the contest. For every club of FORTY or more, j 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 i award one New York Standard watch in a dust proof open face coin silver case, worth $10. For every club of TWENTY andj 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 Tiik 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 In 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. I11 this contest OLD and NEW sub-j scribers count the same, but the name of 110 subscriber now 011 our list, whose subscription expires after October 24, 1893, can entered 011 any club maker's list to be counted in competition for any of the premiums offered; under this proposition. The following are the classes that will count: 1. Those who have never been subscribers. 2. Those who have at any time in the past been subscribers, but whose names are not now 011 our list. 3. Those whose names are now 011 our list, but whose subscrip-j tions expire before October 24, 189.5. ) The regular club price of $1.75 must be paid for all yearly subscribers. I11 this contest, TWO six months' j subscriptions at $1.00 each will be considered the equivalent of one yearly subscriber at $1.75, and so counted, i The propositions contained in the above are open to everybody and any j one who works will be well repaid for; all the labor expended. The buggy is, absolutely sure to go, whether the larg-! est club is 5 or 100. If you want it, go f to work today. Any further information that may j be desired will be furnished 011 application. L.

BBM - vBHCSfflMKHRjU ^ tBfiflfl * ' * B K B' ta^J^ISSIPSBB' wn YR I HAVE been handling agricultural Machinery anil 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 arc 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 gather his crops at less expense as to time and 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. For 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 recognized as a complete success and was entirely adapted to the needs of tliis section. The following is a list of mv specialties: * PRATT COTTON GINS Arc the recognized leaders. Ginncrs of long experience with them and other gins, say they will get mbreand a better quality of lint out of a 100 pounds of seed cotton than any gin on the market. This gin has now been before the people FOR SIXTY YEARS and during that time the Daniel Pratt Gin company has made and sold more than THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND of them. The cut shown above represents the Improved Revolving Head Gin with Feeder and Condenser. It is a front feeder. Here area few of the advantages possessed by the Pratt over other gins: Its revolving head (patented and used exclusively on the Pratt) renders choking almost impossi- *** ble; the chances of injury to operatives are less than on any other gin; the feeder and condenerare . acknowledged To be the best and are used 011 thousands of gins of other makes. Other strong points miglit be mentioned but those who are interested can get more satisfactory information from an illustrated catalogue which I will furnish free on application. If you contemplate buying a gin don't do so until vou investigate the Pratt. I want to buy a good milk cow. CORBIN DISK 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. e 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. Three chances tooneyou have realized for the last four years that a Corbin Disk Harrow was almost an absolute necessity on your farm, but owing to certain facts unnecessary to mention here, have put off buying from year to year, and have lost twice the cost of the Harrow each year by not having one. [For proof of this statement see your neighbor who has one]. If you propose to sow your stubble land in peas you can put in from live to eight acres a day with a Corbin Harrow and without the assistance of a plow, and the work will be properly done and NOT ON THE LICK AND A PROMISE Style so common in this section. After your peaviues are mowed or plowed under in the fall you can take the harrow and put the land in as line condition as an ash bed in a very short time. Do you think that would pay ? or did you ever have any land in that condition? The Harrows are worth $11), cash, but will sell on time, payable November 1, 1 *!? !, on approved paper. I have the harrrows in stock. THE NEW BUCKEYE MOWER Is the KING OF GRASS CUTTERS. It is the strongest, the least complicated and lightest running Mower 011 the market and outsells them all. It is the favorite because it can stand more rough usage than any other 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 ABSOULUTELY 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. TTTfl DOLLAR. MOWER GRINDER Lust season I introduced the DOLLARMOWERGRINPEH. I sold all the manufacturers were able to furnish me, and was forced to decline many orders on account of inability to net 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 letl exactly in the same shape as when new. If YOU have a mower or reaper you need one. It will pay for itself in ONE DAY. Price $1.00, cash. < 'an furnish extra stones at 40 cents each. 1 CARDWELL'S THRESHER. I have recently been appointed agent for CAHDWKLI/S THRESHER AND ('LEANER. It is too well known in this section to need any words of commendation at my hands. I will be pleased to furnish testimonials, prices, terms, etc., to any who contemplate buying. EVANS SMOOTHING HARROW. 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 Harrows on the market. They give satisfaction every time. If you want a cultivating and smoothing harrow the EVANS WESTERN TRIl'PLE HARROW is the one to buy It has round teeth. Its most valuable features and striking points are fully covered by letters of patent, and are used exclusively by its manufacturers. It will pay you to have one to run over your -otton and corn. You' will find the Harrow to be a money maker. Send for illustrated circulars. SAM M. OR 1ST, Yorkville, S ('. GARRY IRON ROOFING COMPANY, Manufactures all kinds of IRON ORE l'AINiT ' IKON ROOFING.
