DID XOT NEED BRAINS.
"My business takes me iuto a great
many small towns, remarked a drummer
the other evening to a New Orleans
Times-Democrat reporter, "aud
while loafing with the natives, who
debate the fate of nations aud carve
their monograms on cracker boxes in
corner groceries, I hear lots of good
old stories, furnished up, retrimmed,
dyed, scoured, polished aud practieally
good as new. There are six or eight

my heart when I meet them, no matter

"A few days ago, for instance, I
happened into a strange town in
Mississippi aud felt frightfully bored
and lonesome until a storekeeper began
to tell me a story about a lawer named
Googan in a place up the road.
" 'He was a trifling kind of a chap,'
said the storekeeper, 'and one day he
heard of a doctor up in New York
that bad a scheme for taking out the
no-account part of a fellow's brain und
replacin' it with first-class thinking
machinery. Knowing that everyone
regarded him as a blamed fool Googan
concluded to go off ou the quiet and
get fixed up. So be scooted for the
north, aud when he got there the
doctor told him that his brain was
petrified, as hard as a rock ; but he
promised to make him a new oue that
he could think with and told him to
come back in six months and have it
put in.
" 'Googan promised, but when the
time arrived, he didn't show up, aud
the doctor wrote him a letter. "I
have your brain all ready," come and
get it."

A Candidate For Heaven.?Judge
Tarbell tells the following joke on
himself: A short time after his retirement
from the beueh he happened to
meet an old friend whom be had not
seen for some time. The judge, all
smiles and heartiness, effervesced over
his friend in such a way as to provoke
the inquiry :
"What office are you a caudidate for
now,judge ?"
The judge made a deprecatory
movement with an outward turned
palm and said :
"For none at all, my dear brother ;
I'm simply a candidate for Heaven."
His frieud regarded him sorrowfully
for an instant, and then, with more
wit than politeness, aud with more profanity
thau either, exclaimed :
"I'll bet you don't carry a d?u

S8T A runaway darkey, before the

was met by a countryman, who questioned
him as to the treatment he had

"Did you have enough to eat?" the

"Yes."
"Aud euough to wear?"
"Yes."
"And a warm place to sleep ?"
"Yes."
"Then what did you ruu away for?"
"Say, boss," the darkey replied, "if

A Languid Porter.?One hot summer's
day a gentleman who was waiting
for his train at one of our country
stations asked a porter who was laying
on one of the seats where the station
master lived, and the porter lazily
pointed to the house with his foot.
The gentleman, very much struck at
the man's laziness, said :
"If you can show me a lazier action
than that, my good man, I'll give you
two-and-six-peuce."
The porter, not moviug an iuch,
said :

"Sorry, sir," she said, "but ye can't

Refused to Be Hobsonijced.?A
young man who had beeu converted
at a north Methodist campmeeting declared
that all pride and self-conceit
had been taken out of his heart. To
prove it he said be would go down in
the audience and kiss an old colored
woman. As he went down the aisle
the old colored woman rose to her feet
and said :
"Look aheah, man, you may not
have no pride, but I is. I ain't agwine

Kerosene as a Cleaner.?The
great merits of kerosene as a cleansing
agent are not as well known or appre*
ciated as they should be. No other
article assists the housewife so much
in all parts of her domaiu. In the ^
kitchen the tinware may be made >r
bright aud shining by rubbing with a T
flannel dipped in kerosene, then in C
powdered lime or whiting; it is soon F
done and rinsing in hot suds takes 01
away all the odor. An oil cloth is r'
quickly washed on the floor with a V
little kerosene added to the scouring P
water and dried with a flannel, leaving C(
it almost as petty as new and doubling F
its time of service. The windows
may be washed in half the time. One v
should have a brush to clean the corn- ^
ers, then with a soft cloth wrung out ^
of warm suds and saturated with kero- a
sene the window is cleaned and polish- e
ed so easily oDe is surprised. Mirrors, ^
too, have lost their obstinacy in taking a
on a polish by the same treatment. ^
Most of all the busy housewife is help- r'
ed in washing soiled clothes. Shave a
bar of soap into a quart of warm water, P
when melted add one tablespoonful of g
kerosene. Select the worst soiled &
clothes, put in a tub just covered with
water, soap each piece well with pre- 0
pared soap and oil and leave over P
night. In the morning add liot water,
and they will require very little rub- ?
bing. Of course, the usual rinsing 1'
mustbedoue. C
An Erroneous Idea.?An old fash- J
ioned idea prevails in many families w
that a very light supper, such as a p
glass of milk and a slice of bread, is n
necessary to prevent nightmare. But ti
later experience has proven that most ji
growing children requirea plentiful re- e
past before retiring of light nourishing tl
food. n
Hunger, at whatever hour, of the S
day or night it comes, is the demand of f
nature for sustenance, and should be tl
gratified. ft:
No sleep is the result of a too emp- ft
ty stomach in many children, and for si
such all ample meal is necessary at sup- J
ner time. a
s
We have known restless children, S
who were in the habit of disturbing w
the household during the night, re- 1
stored to quiet and peaceful slumber c
with a cracker and a drink of milk giv- J
en them on awakening in the night. . tl
And the rule of "nothing to eat be- d
tween meals" laid down absolutely for u
all members of her household by some e
mothers is a mistake when applied to 'I
the growing school children who come tl
in from school ''almost starved to o
death." Their hurfger should be satis- n
tied in spite of theories. u
Boiling Eggs.?The boiling of an E
egg seems one of the most simple of U
all culinary ventures, yet where there J
is a member of the family who is dis- a
tressed if his egg is not boiled in such n
a manner, his anguish is frequently so E
often repeated as to become chronic, e
It is a direful thing to ask for a soft- ri
boiled egg and receive one just warm- a
ed through, or for one "well done" o
and receive a stone. The fault usually "
lies in the fact that the water is not a
boiling when the egg goes in, or that o
the time is counted from the moment tl
the egg goes in, instead of from the L
time it commences to boil. For a soft- :bi
boiled egg, two minutes should be allowed
; for a medium egg, three minutes,
and for a hard-boiled one, five
minutes. Have the water boiling H
when the eggs are immersed. This
will lower the temperature, and a few
seconds must elapse before the boiling T
again commeuces. Then cover, and

Artificial Cream. ? A cooking w
teacher tells of a manufactured cream a!
that is worth knowing about in emer- tl
gencies, when the real article is uot to tl
be had. It is made from the whites of p]
two eggs, beaten stiff, with a table- A
spoonful of sugar and a teaspoouful of o|
cornstarch. Half a cup of cold milk T
is added by degrees and all beateu to- ri
gether very stiff. A cup of milk is fii
heated over the fire, with a small but- "j
ter ball melted iu it. This is allowed C
to come just to the boiliugpoint, wheu 8
it is removed to a cooler part of the m
stove and the beateu egg mixture added.
When it has all thickened very b;
slightly to about the consistency of ai
thick cream, it is taken ofF and straiu- hi
ed and cooled. This may be used as H
cream for serving with fresh or pre- ai
served fruits ; but it is needless to add hi
that it will not whip.
Fruit and Vegetables vs. Doc- ta
tors.?Grape fruit is almost as good m
as quinine for malarial troubles, and st
pineapple is a sure cure for sore throat, w
Tomatoes are perfect liver regulators, te
They contain a small portion of mer- sf
cury. Oranges act on the kidneys 01
very beneficially, lemons and grapes m
are efficacious in curiug and prevent- tf
ing cancerous troubles. Watercresses di
act on the lungs and are said to be a b(
cure for iucipient consumption. They h<
certainly have marvelous tonic power sli
and refresh one after great fatigue. A tli
diet of grapes as a cure-all has been pi
proved valuable in hundreds of cases, fo
and, if taken in time, a case of jaun- <;1

but lettuce and lemon juice. Iu the tli

Worth Trying.?The pig-tailed
laundrymuu, says an exchange, knows .
a little ironing trick worth trying.
Instead of heating his iron just right
for use, he heats it scorching hot; then st
he plunges it into cold water for an in- It
slant, which cools the surface sufli- H
ciently to allow him to make several a
effective passes, the heat meantime to
gradually returning to the surface. If th
necessary he repeats this two or three sit
times, till the iron is of the right tern- Ri
perture to ply its vocation uninterruptedly.
This saves the frequent chang- S|
ing of irons of Bridget's method. av
an
fieyit is said that if lamp chimneys, In
tumblers or other glass dishes are pr
placed in cold water, with half a cup of to
table salt to each quart of water, which is
is brought slowly to a boil and boiled ce
n half hour, theu allowed to cool in the m
water, they will resist auy sudden ca

A HIT OF HISTORY.
ow the CowpetiH Buttle Ground* Got Its

The Spartanburg correspondent of

attle ground made famous by the vic>ry
commemorated last week, says :
It may be well to state that from
T74 to 1776 the citizens who had seted
20 to 40 miks south of Cowpens
ere accustomed to send their cattle
aout the 1st of May up to a man by
le name of Hanna. He took care of
tem during the. summer, hence the
lace was called Hanna's Cowpens.
t that time the forests were generally
aen and free from all undergrowth,
he wild peavine and cane grew luxuantly
in the woods, affording very
tie pasturage, equal to the famous

About 1856 the Washington Light
ifantry came from Charleston to Sparinburg,
and, after resting a few days
[arched out to Cowpens and put up a
nail monument. The base, I think,
as concrete, covered over with plasir
to imitate stone. A small iron
iaft, 10 to 15 feet high, was placed
l the base, and a bronze eagle sumounted
the shaft. A neat iron fence
len enclosed the monument. But
iriug the war the iron railing was
jrrowed by the neighbors to make
jrseshoes and plough points. The
iaft is perhaps somewhere in
ie neighborhood. Some one approbated
the eagle and used it perhaps
r a weight to keep the front gate
osed. The base of the monument
is crumbled and little sign is left of

FORTH RICO'S TRADK CRIPPLED.
am the New York Sun.
William It. Corwine of the Mer
iants' Association, who was sent by
at organization a few weeks ago to
udv the trade conditions in Porto
ico, returned to the city on Tuesday,
e said yesterday that after making
trip through the sugar, cofl'ee and
bacco districts he is of the opinion
at the great barrier to the expan>n
of American trade with Porto
co was the tarifT.
"In taking the island away from
>aiu." said Mr. Corwine, we took
ray a large portion of its markets
id have not provided any substitute,
i other words, under Spanish rule
actieally all the tobacco raised went
Cuba. Now that the Cuban market
shut oir by the tariff and Spain has
ased to be a customer, there is no
arket in which the island's tobacco
n be sold, as the Porto ltican article
not known in the United States,
his year the crop is about a third of
the normal and some of it is not even
being harvested. In the same way the
coffee market has been seriously restricted.
Porto Ricau coflee has always
commanded high prices in Spain,
but is little knowu in this country.
The United States have generally
taken a large part of the sugar crop,
but there are certain grades of refined
sugar which are prohibited by the tariff
| here, have only found a market abroad.
"The effect of the curtailment of
| these markets is to limit the purchas
ing power of the people, whicn 10 turu
is felt in the orders placed for merchandise
in this country. The crops
form the basis of the island's purchasing
power, as there are few manufacturers.
With no chance of extending
the market for the crops, the prospect
of extending Americau trade there
is not a very flattering. The present
tariff is also operating agaiusl
importations by placing heavy burdens
on the importer. Uuder the Spanish
tariff there were many concession
made in favor of goods bought in Spain,
so that as far as Spain was concerned
there was practically free trade between
the mother -.country and the
colony. There are no cessions now
of any importance iu favor of any
1 country, and a wull has practically
1 been erected about the island."
An Important Act.?There is a
law on the statute book of South Car
1 olina which is very much a dead letter.
This law was approved by the governor
on the 3d day of March, 1899. It
is entitled : "An act to prevent drunkenness
and shooting upon the high 1
way." The provisions of the law are
very plain, simple and easily under
91UUII .
1 "That any person who shall engage
in any boisterous conduct uuder the
influence of intoxicating liquors, or
i while feigning to be uuder the influence
pf such liquors, or without just
1 cause or excuse shall discharge any
r firearms while upon or within 50 yards
of any public road except upon his
premises, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof
shall pay a fine of not more than $100,
i or be imprisoned for not more thau 30
days."
A Lesson In Economy.?A man
1 who chews 20 cents worth of tobacco
1 a week concluded to try a tobacco
1 cure. In two weeks he ate up $1.50
worth of cure, aud for the next two
weeks he used 10 cents worth of candy,
5 cents worth of cough drops and
5 cents worth of peanuts per day.
During these two weeks he also consumed
two large rubber erasers, ate
the rubber tips of 14 lead pencils,
chewed up a dozen penholders and
broused off his mustache as high as he
could reach. He is now chewing tobacco
in the interest of economy,?

PHOTOGRAPHY
IS AN ART
AND it takes an artist to be a photographer.
One who is not an artist 1
doesn't stand much of a chance of tnak
ing a success at photography. I have '
given years of study to this especial line .
and I can say with pride that my work
will compare favorab ly with that of any
photographer in this section. J
Tho best and most perfect photographs i
are the results of experience and not ex- '
periments. I do all of my developing, ,
retouching and finishing, thereby obtain- '
ing the best possible results.

As Far As Prices

along that score. I know that my
prices are reasonable and you will agree
