A man who was too economical to take this paper, sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste, the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees, and in 10 minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran iuto that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from bis anatomy, and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, and got into the cornfield, and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset a four-gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock.

Promised a Good Account of Himself.?Several years ago, Colouel Jack Chinn visited Texas. He took with him a Negro valet, Sam. This Negro had beeu a slave in the Chinu family before the war, and idolized his young master. One night, while in Houston, the darky went to Cbiun and said : "Massa Jack, I'se goin' out in cullud society in beah tonight au' I'd like to borrow dat ivory-handled six-shooter of yours to take along." "Why, you black rascal," returned the colouel, "some of these Houston coons will take that gun away from you and break it over your head." The darky was straightened up. Like his master, he was a man of unquestioned uerve and there was a peculiar glitter in his eyes as he said : "Ma3sa Jack, you let me had dat gun, an' if I don't show up head wid it in de mawniu' you go down to de morgue an' throw down he sheet an' say: 'Lawd, don't he uook nacheral!'

Out of Sight.?An English cotton buyer in Memphis was talkiug with the clerk of oue of the hotels the other Say when a commercial traveler came up. ''How are you feeling, Bill ?" said the clerk as he extended his hand. "Oh, I'm just out of sight," replied the drummer. After the commercial man had been assigned to bis room, the Englishman turned to the clerk and inquired what he meaut by "out of sight." The clerk explaiued that he meant he was feeling fine, and the Euglishraan recorded it in his little book. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, the clerk, following bis usual custom, asked him how he felt. The Englishman thought it a good time to try some of his newly learned slang and, with the air of one who had solved a difficult problem, replied, "Ob, you kaun't see me at all!"?Memphis Scimitar.

Set the plants three feet apart in the ow, and as they grow trim off all the i javes up to the first fruit stem, and hen leave the next two suckers or irongs that come out above it. Now get some slakes or poles about ight feet long and sharpen the lower nds and set them in the row?one at ach plant aud one on each side of it, , foot from it. Tie up the main stalk o its stake, cutting out all suckers as t grows, leaving only the leaves and ruit stems. Take the aforesaid two uckers that were left, aud as they row. tie them up to the stake on each ide, aud treat each of them as a seprale vine, tying it up to its stake and Tuning as it grows. By this process we can get more ruit aud better than by any other we ave ever tried ; aud the fruit is soon p out of reach of predatory chickens bat come in (from your neighbors) of ourse. Some varieties do not stand bis treatment so well as others. I nd that we get our best results from be acme and its kindred varieties. In order to set the stakes so firm hat they will stand the winds and ains, we use a piece of hard wood bout two and one-half feet long, taered to a point at one end and having bole bored through near the other, 3 which we put a cross stick for a andle. We call the thing a stud. Ve drive this into the ground where ye want our stakes, about one to one nd one-half feet, and then taking old of the handle, work it back and arth a little, and give it a twist and nil. We have a nice bole into which ye force our stakes as firmly as we an and tramp the soil around the take on the surface. Stakes thus put a will stand firm all season and hold p your fruit nicely. By this process ou keep your vines in a reasonable pace,'aud when your fruit begins to ipen you have all kinds ; from the unches of ripe fruit below up through 11 grades to the bloom ; and the vines nil bear uutil frost closes the scene, ^his process is intended for small rops ; of course, it is not adapted to eld culture. Starting the Turkey Crop.? i'urkeys hatched in April and May are he most profitable. The eggs are ery frequently placed under some ommon domestic hens and the turkeys ens are kept at laying. While this is requeutly done, it is not thfe best plan, s the common hen makes a poor oother for the young turkeys, owiug o their disposition being too active, rurkeys were expressly designed to ake care of their offspring, and they mow how to do this part of their work o perfection. It requires 28 days of incubation to ring out young turkeys. But the irst 24 hours after they are hatched hey require no food ; but should then >e moved from the nest to a clean, oomy coop and given their first meal if millet seed ; after that, feed them or the first few weeks with stale iread moistened with milk, aud some nilk curd in connection with the milet seed. Cooked rice and oatmeal is Jso excellent food for them while 'oung; their feed should be seasoned lightly with salt and pepper and a ittle bone meal added twice a week vill be found beneficial.?C. C.

The Growth of the Finger 'sails.?"Not many people know that he average growth of the finger nail 3 l-32d of an inch per week, or a title more than 1$ inches per year," oberved a Washington physician to a star reporter receutly. "The growth, lowever, depends to a great extent ipon the rate of nutrition, during sickitss aud abstinence from good uourishng food it is retarded. Nails grow aster in summer thau in winter, and he growth differs for different fingers, >eing usually most rapid in the midlie finger and slowest in the thumb. "The average time taken for each inger nail to grow its full length is ibout four and a half months, and at his rate a man of 70 years of age, vould have renewed his nails 186 imes. Taking the length of each lail at half an inch, he would have ;rowu 7 feet 9 inches of nail on each iuger, and on all his fingers aud humbs an aggrgate length of 77 feet I iuches."

What the Women'* Foreign MlHuloniiry Union Did Last Week. Hock Hill Herald, Saturday. We reported in our last issue the assembling of this hody in the First Presbyterian church last Tuesday afternoon, and the proceedings of that day. Wednesday morning, after devotional exercises, an excellent paper, written by Mrs. E. M. Atkinson, of Lowrysville, on, "The Privilege of Working for Missions," was well read by Miss Guy, of Lowrysville. Miss Gist, of Yorkville, read a fiue article on, "Uur Obligations." Some items of business were discussed and recess takeu till the afternoon. At the afternoon session, Miss Claude Moore, of Yorkville, read an exceedingly interesting paper prepared by herself on "The Work of Miss Ella C. Davidson iu Chiua." Special prayer was then offered for Miss Davidson and her work in Hangchow, China. The union adopted a resolution of thanks to Miss Davidson for ber efficient aid in effecting the organization of the union last full, before her return to China. On account of sickness, Mrs. Sumter Lewis, of Chester, was detained, and in lieu of her paper on, "Our Cuban Mission," Mrs. Paul Hemphill read a very choice selection, which was eminently appropriate. The present officers of the uuion were re-elected for the coming year. They are : President, Mrs. J.Robert Lindsay, Yorkville; first vice president, Miss S. J. Gibson, Rock Hill; second vice president, Mrs. J. J. Hunter, Yorkville; recording secretary, Mrs. J. I. Stringfellow, Chester; corresponding secretary, Mrs. W. C. 1 Hutchison, Rock Hill. Mrs. A. C. Izard and Miss Gaston were added to the executive committee, which is made up of the officers of : the union and these two ladies. : The next meeting will be held in Chester. A reception was tendered the delegates and visitors by the ladies' foreign missionary society and the mission > board of the First Presbyterian church, ] at the manse. It was a highly delightful affair and was much enjoyed by those present. Wednesday night, at a public meeting, Rev. W. G. Neville delivered an address of murked interest and power . upon me sunjeci 01 iurei^u unaaiuujj. This was followed by a solo from Mi9S Souther, of Winlhrop college. liev. I). N. McLaughlin concluded the exercises of the union in un address which arrested aud preserved the interest of the congregation. His effort was to encourage the members of the union and inspire them with greater Zealand prayer for the grand ( work of missions. f The union was much enjoyed aud ? we believe will accomplish much last- J ing good. 1 CENTS AND HALF CENTS. ; Their Utility of IncreHHing Importance in -1 Commercial TrannactlonH. It is not an unusual thing to see in ,j )ur show windows goods uiurked 99 li seuts or 49 cents, but when the purchaser pays for them, unless he makes ? l demaud for the exact change, he t; jsually pays the full dollar or half lollar. The reduction is made on the _ trice cards in the wiudow to attract ittention, hut it is not carried out in -he sale, unless demanded by the cus- j omer. The customer, however, should (j lemand it aud not quietly submit to p lie loss of one, two or three cents on jj i purchase. In the larger cities pen- g lies are used in all the stores and a nerchant would no more think of failrig to give a purchaser the exact :hange?whether it be one, two or ,hree cents?than he would withhold l nickel or a dime belonging to his :ustomer. Indeed, the sharp competition that sxists in retail stores these days, in the arge cites, is evidenced by an agitaion among the department stores of Philadelphia for the issue hy the gov srnment of a new coin of the deuorai lation of a half cent. A petition in avor of it has been oumerously signed n Philadelphia, and an effort is heiug nade to arouse interest in other cities, rhe merchants claim that in these lays of keeu competition, when large lales and small profits are the rule, 1 1 _ _ C 1 iOliJti much {Jiau is necessary, ocvciai dividual firms in Chicago have is lued iheir own half-cent pieces, which, >f course, are only redeemable in their >wn establishments. The use of a ralf-cent coin might be of advantage u a small way to the small purchaser, vho now has to surrender the halflent, when he buys one article which lells two for a quarter, two for fifteen ;enl$, and so on. The Way of the World.?Because Senator McLauriu acknowledges Wil iam MoKinley as president of these United States and respects and honors iim as such, he is called disloyal to his itateand a traitor to his party. Senator Tillman aids and abets in this seniment; nut at the same time he says of Mr. MoKinley: "Iam always willing to trust William McKiuley. * * * Left to himself, I believe his uspirations and his purposes are patriotic and noble." McLauriu has never bestowed greater praise than that on the piesident; hut he has to be called a traitor by little ivhippersnappers, coat tail swingers, political shadows and the like.?Spartanburg Spartan.
