Another appropriation suggested by rho committee was "To tho Corpora tion of the City of Charleston for money expeuded by them for the re lief of the unhappy sufferers from Saint Domingo in 1793-94, $966.60." The bill states that while there was no law to force the payment of this claim, still the committee thought it wise to reimburse the city of Charleston. There are many, many papers hero which would be valuable to a biblio maniac or curio hunter, and there are many which arc- valuable as history. There is a vast amount of ui witton history and love and legen j stored away iii the musty vaults at the State house. lu discussing the revelation of these historical treasure's. Prof. Davis and Col. Tompkins both agreed that there was work enough to keep a mau bus}' compiling historical statistics and information, and that the work was of enough value to the State to warrant the legislature in making an appropriation for that purpose, lt may be that a bill will bc introduced at the coming session providing for sueh work to be done by thc State historian. Home-SIudo Playthings. Often home-made playthings arc treasured by little people more than expensive trinkets. Our children are domestic in their tastes ut present, so I procured some pasteboard boxes about 24x18 iuches, and 9 inches high, and we made a house aud barn. Have plenty of old pasteboard boxes to cut up for partitions and furniture. We made kitchen, pantry and dining-room in one box; in the other, called the upright, was the sittiug room and bedroom. Cut the partitions to fit tight, or they will always be tumbling down. Cut double doors between sitting room and bedroom, and usc any pret'.y little scraps you may have of silk, lace or velvet for portieres. The pink and green papers in which so many packages come wrapped were ?ut in fancy patterns for carpets, which let the white of the bottom of the box show through for the pattern. They also make pretty coverings for the tables and beds. The chairs, tables, beds, etc., are out from pasteboard, more or less fancy, according to the skill of the artist. Then we out a fainiiy of paper dolls to inhabit tho house, clothing them from some of the bright paper. Another box has beeu made iuto a barn with pasteboard stalls, mangers and stanchions, being divided into compartments for horses and cattle, with a place between for hay; the hay is represented by very thin little papers. The horses, cows and calves | arc made of pasteboard, and are fed regularly on paper rations; the cover to the box is set one side for a barn yard, in one corner of which are the tank and windmill, made also of paste board: thc pitchforks, shovels, ham mers, etc., are made of stiff paste board. A smali shoe box, with pasteboard wheels and tongue, is the wagon, and wrapping cord is utilized for har nesses. A handsome rag doll can bo made of cloth, if one is handy about such things, and they aro often preferred to a more expensive one. , An elephant made of gray cloth, with a small red blanket on, is greatly e?joycd by children, especially when playing circuB. . A pair of lines, I inch wide aud 3 yards long can bo knit of odds and ends, and are very serviceable when the chairs are used for horses, or when one drives another. In short, if one has a little ingen uity, a' little time and remembers wnat pleased them when they were children, their children need never yack playthings, even though the parse is ompty. -Marguerite Lyndith in the Household. Two Petate* Questions Answered. What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans.-As there ia no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may bo smaller on a singlo pale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best ? If both articles aro brought promi nently before tho.public both aro cer tain to he tried and thc public will very quickly pass judgment on them and uso only the better one. This explains tho largo salo on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Tho people have been using it for years I and h?vo found that it can always bo : depended upon. They may occasion I ally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to re ?.urn to tho OV.? rcirftj'dy that they know to be reliable, ! and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Cham berlain's Cough Remedy* For salo hy Hili-Orr Drug Co* (.'hruiudogtcal ru nudities. j _ Almanacs have been known since ' the days of the ancient Greeks. From i the Middle ages down to our own they J were the depositories of astrological ? predictions!, pindering to the credulity j ol' thc supersitious public. Now they ; arc more und more becoming store houses of chronological, astronoinieal, economical, historical, political and statistical records, all brought up to tho latest date. Primarily, however, i aud principally they were instruments for computing time, designed to fur nish tables of the day? belonging to tho Boveral months. The Anglo-Sax ons called their tally sticks, or some kind of notched instruments, on which they carved the course of the moon during (he year, io f*x thc times of thc new and full moon and the festival days, almauught. It was used fq?ihvi computation of civil and ecclesiastical dates. The usual derivation of thc word altnauac, it is true, traces thc word to Arabic, respectively Coptic origin. Ti) the Arab of Syria ulina nakh mesas temperature or atmos ph?re, which reminds of Cowper's lines : " I'u wald) th? i-torios amt boar tho ?ky, And nive all aluuitpiCkH the lin." . The almanac itself has, of course, undergone many changes in its long and honored career. Ho hoary beaded and ancient a personage as Father Time, says a recent writer on thc sub ject, must necessarily have acquired, in the course of his ceaseless journeys, a considerably tiuaiber of curiosities and eccentricities. With these, of which the almanac keeps record, few people have much acquaintance. That the year has three hundred and sixty rive days, twelve months, fifty-two weeks, and sturts ou the first of Jan uary, is about tho extent of most peo ple's knowledge of chronology and calendar. Tlic most important church festival of the year is Easter, because by its datd'ure fixed all the movable holidays of the year. For thc first three cen turies of thc Christian era thc churches of the East and the West observed Easter at different times. The Eastern church observed Easter on the samo day as thc Jewish Passover, while the West or Kornau Church celebrated Easter on the Sunday following that date. The Celtic Church observed Easter at a different time from cither, but at the Council of Whitby, in 664, the English church formally attached itself to the Church of Rome by adopting her time of Easter celebrv tioo. In 325 A. I), the Council of Nicoa fixed the date of Easter. As the moon had been full on the night after thc crucifixion, it was agreed that Easter must depend upon the phases of the moon, and therefore bc a movable feast; and it was fixed on the first Sunday after the full moon of tho spring equinox. The Bishop of Alexandria, Egypt, was charged with tho duty of making the necessary astronomical calculations, as Unit science was most advanced in that city. Every year, about Epiphany, he issued a circular letter-thc "Liber Pasehulis," Easter book', communica ting the result of his computations und fixing thc date of Easter. He also, iu this sort of almanac, com mented on ecclesiastical and other questions of the day. In England thc dato of Easter is fixed by oct of Parli ament and by tho rubric of the church. Easter has a runge of thirty-five days ia which it can fall, thc earliest date is March 22d, and the latest April 25th. In 181.8 it fell on March 22d, and cannot do so again until 2285. Io 18S6 Easter fell on tho latest pos sible date, April 25th. This had not occurred since 1736, and will not occur again until 1943, the only time in thc twentieth oentury, and 2038. A ucw attempt is just being made to . fix a narrower limit for easter by coufiniug its occurrence to the week from April 4th to 11th. There are some curious facts con nected with the days of the week on which centuries and months begin. No century can begin on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. The month bf October commences with the same day of the week aa January, except in a leap year. September and December also start on the sams week-day. and BO do February, Maroh and November. The first day of May, June and August never fall on the same week day on which any other mooth begins. April and July always start on the same day of the week. This year January and October begin on a Saturday ; February, March and November on a Tuesday, April and July on a Friday, Septem ber and December on a Thursday, Jane ba a Wednesday, May on a Sun day, August on a Monday. Leap year, however, always throws this lit tle ^arrangement out of gear. Christ mas always falls on the same day of thc week as Now Year's Day, and a year always ends on tho same'week day as it started. Next year will start on a Sunday, and there will bo thus fifty-three Sundays in the year, ? thing which happened last ia 1893 and occurs only fourteen times in a century. Only very rarely is the number of a year a square. In 1849 it was the square of 43. The previous occasion Was 176-1, tho squaro of 42, and in 1336 wo shall have thc square of 44. Sweet Pot?lo Starelt. To thc Editor of thc, News nuil Cou rier: The subscriber bas read und reads with a great deal of interest all that appears io your paper about planting wheat. Four farmers, if not more, in this immediate community aro going tn plautsonje two aerea each. \ou are doing the Slate a great benefit by so thoroughly airing the subject. Indeed, you have been rather the pioneer in the State in thc way of rejuvenating old and introducing new turin crops and other neglected industries. The necessity is upon South Caro lina farmers as never was before, of mending their farming ways. They arc in front of a veritable sea, lhere are mouutaius ou either side uud a i host of creditors behiud. They must cross tho sea und must settle honora bly with their creditors. How are they to do it? My curtail* ing cotton acreage? Ves, but what shall be planted on the part eta off? Wheat is all well enough, hut a money crop is wanted of a size to which the wheat crop will not reach. Now, thc writer is .cuing t<> risk your wrath in naming a crop w ich he has before brought t<> your mu iee, and a product tobe made from it: sweet potatoes and sweet potato starch. Ur remembers you commented very favor | ably on the matter (d' his letter, and some correspondence with promoters resulted, which is still going on. With your permission he. will now state again some facts in connection with the crop. It has been discover ed recently that the sweet potato is rich in starch, enough so to make it a suitable raw product for the commer cial manufacture of starch. You no doubt remember that our mothers made starch in a primitive way from thc sweet potato during the war. The projeet is still in embryo com paratively. There arc yet one or two points to be settled by factory promo ters. Only one immediately concerns the farmer. The others -ire for the other party, that is the manufacturer, and it, is well to add that experiments arc now being conducted that arc ex pected to settle conclusively by their determinations these points. Tho one farmers must seltle is, can they raise sweet potatoes in such quautity and at such a price as will supply a factory? It is this question the writer wants you to push home to the farmers of the State. The price which is proposed now to be paid by the factory is 20 ecnts per bushel. Now can the farmers do it? It would be well for you to get some praotioal fanner, one who works and fertilizes well to make a calculutiop of thc cost of an acre of cotton and one of sweet potatoes. Let us just now only take for exam ple an aero of ground which will make a bale of cotton. This bale of cotton let us put at $25, and just now that will include val. e of lint and seed. Now how many bushels of potatoes can bc made on au acre of similar ground; 200 bushels-$40; 300 bush els- $00; 400 bushels-$S0? Now on an acre of ground so fertil ized and cultivated as to make a bale of cotton 400 bushels of Southern Queen sweet potatoes can be raised. Of course, all land will not make that many, neither will ail land make a bale of cotton or yellow wrapper to bacco, or 30 bushels of wheat, but ii. will do for calculating comparative cost and proceeds. lu this calcula tion one must take into consideration the danger to any crop from the ele ments, except potatoes. Hail can't hurt them, wind can't, storms of rain cannot, earthquake will only loosen the soil so they oan grow bigger. Now, it has been determined that the most prolific varieties are the best adapted to the purpose, a wonderful providence, indeed. It will take ^roni 500 to 2,000 bushels per day to run a factory. A small factory to use 500 . bushels per day will cost about $8,000; io uso 2,000, about $25,000. To ran four months, daily capacity 500 bush els, will take 300 acres, making 200 bushels per aoro; 150 acres making 400 bushels. A first-class ginnery will cost $2,500. Yet many individual men buy and operate such and count themselves lucky to make it pay for itself in two or three years. Why could not some of the large farmers own and operate some of these small factories? If not strong enough individually then several together. There are capitalists now ready to meet the farmer half way. Indeed, it may bo possible to get tho factory people to come, without any local capital invested, if the farmer will only guarantee thc crop, and that is what this writer wants you to bring out; got farmers to figure on cost of production and say whether they can do it, and then they can bc introduced to the factor^pftople. This question of supply is thc big gest one just now. As it is an en tirely new venture, in the South fac tory people want it fully decided be fore going to work. Cotton mill men who uso a large quantity of starch might consider tho subject with pro fit. Thero are now three different . i sets of experts working ou the sub ject, io thc most intelligent manner. The writer som this summer a lot of potato vinos to imo omi of the United States for planting, and this fall a couple of bushels of potatoes to tho other end, both for experimental purposes. For as lu- said above, de terminations will be made this winter which will be conclusivo ?,, |heir character, titter which the potato grower and the factory people will meet. If possible a nicotine must he had before another crop year open-, and thc community thal first wakes up to its possibilities will be the favored one. Some talk about raising sugar beets. A sugar beet factory eo.-ts all the way from $500,000 to $2, 500,000. Why not talk about some thing reasonable? And it lakes from 20,000 to 100,000 acies. Agamemnon Foin mc de Terre. South Carolina, Nov. 27. Left t?? Her OOM Uesources. A Boston mamma was instructing lu r '??tile daughter how to belia\e whin she went to luncheon at thc Bishop's house.
