TRUNKS WERE WANTB&
After a While He Get a Chance to Indicate
His Preference of Varieties.
The tall floorwalker found him wandering
around the big store as though
bewildered.
"Have you been waited on, sir?'
"No. I would like to see some
trunks."
"Trunks? Yes, sir! Simmons, take
this gentleman up on the elevator and
show him our new display of trunks."
Simmons, a smart clerk .with a chip
diamond and a ten-story collar, piloted
the customer to the trunk department.
"Herb they are. sir," began Simmons
in a rapid-fire tone ' of voice.
"Everything in trunks that a person

"Oh, I see, you wish something

Weed* Alonj Walk*.
The best way to kill out typed? ott
the edge of a grawl walk is to sow o 1
a lot of cheap salt as soon as the weeds
appear In the spring. The same treatment
can he used where weeds grow
up between the boards of a wooden
walk.
Proper Shoe* for Home*.
The weight of slices is too great
opon all classes of horses except the
trotter. There is a theory that heavft
shoes last longer tlunn light ones, and
the theory appears to be plausible,
but it is not also tiu.\ as has been
shown in a number of cases. All that
a shoe is for. except there is ice. is to
prevent the wear cf the walls, and a
light shoe will do that as well as a
% _ Waac?? ImVvtJ
neavy one. en course a ma?.?
needs a heavier shoe than a light
horse dees. but because of the increased
concussion which the heavy
shoe necessitates a lighter shoe than
that with which the heaviest horses
are shod, would be letter.
f are of Hen* in the Snminer,
Try to keep the hens cool for very
hot weather is not good laying weather.
The hot hours should be l-asred
by the hens under a shade. U hens
are confined give them plenty of gr. en
grass or tops of vegetables. l)o net
stint the poultry oil pure cold water.
Fowls need water even when they
have plenty of milk. Do not feiM
much corn meal In very hot weather.
When hens are laying they need plenty
of food. Laying does not Indhntc
health for even a sick hen will lay in
the spring. When hens have been laying
all winter, they should have a rest
in the spring, if they can be made to
take it Kale is exeellent for poultry.
Breeders should test the fertility of
every egg before sending it out When
chicks become chilled they will have
bowel trouble.
Growlnj- Crops In an Orchard.
The disadvantage of having grass
or growing crops in an orchard is not
entirely due to the chance of the crops
robbing the soil of fertility needed i>y I
the trees. If it was it would be easi- i
ly remedied by the manure applied to |
the hoed crops, of which the trees i
would get their share, or by tu ning I
sheep into the orchard to eat the grass
and the fallen wormy fruit, who Would
enrich the soil by tlieir droppings. But
the greater trouble conies from the
I summer and fall droughts when the
I t^ees need all the moisture to perfect
I their fruit If the grass or ether surI
fnoo rrnn tnkes it there will be a large
amount of fruit fall which might have
been saved if there had been moistu:c
enough to carry it through to maturity.
Where water can be supplied by
Irrigation this difficulty iB net as
great.
Danger In Green Sorghnm.
Science is up the stump. She eaVt
find out why green sorghum should t e
so quickly fatal to cattle, says an exchange.
Sorghum rapidly is coming
into favor as a forage crop. Owing
to the large yields obtainable and to
its high feeding value, stockmen are
beginning to depend upon this crop
for fodder and roughage. But latali
ties in herds pastured on the the
growing cane are frequently rei>orted.
With the increased use of this crop
for forage there has followed an increase
in the number of fatal cases.
Cases are recorded of cattle dying
within five minutes after entering a
sorghum pasture. The true reason for
this fatal effect is net known, but
many stockmen believe it may be
found.in the presence on the leaves of
the cane of poisonous fungi. One
Nebraska farmer was driving bis cow
across a small strip of cane, and oefore
the animal had gone more than -?
few rods she dropped, and in a f?w
minutes she was dead. Another cow
that was killed by greeu sorghum had
eaten only one stalk, apparently, and
that was still In her throat. The Nebraska
agricultural experiment station
has analyzed stalks of green sorghum
that, being partly eaten by < attle. h id
killed them. It found none of the common
known vegetable poisons excepting
a small quantity of oxalic aOd
that could not be fatal.
Skill In th? Garden.
The gardeners work depends mor.>
upon skill than upon strength. Tli
grub hoe. the pick and the breaking up
plow for new land need to be strong
but in the garden a light tool in good
condition will make the work ea*i? r
and accomplish more than the heavy
tool. Keep the hoes sharp and tie
teeth of the cultivator and horse hoc
down to a cutting edge, and good
points on the plows, and keep everything
clean and bright, so that d id
will not adhere to them to double the'r
weight and lessen their efficiency. The
light tool may net last as long as tinheavy
one and if it seems to be using
up the hoe very fast to grind it even,
day, at least it is b.tter to wear o;ii
several hoes than one man or boy.
Many a boy has become disgusted with
: farm work aiul with the farm itsdr.
simply because lie was given woruont
tools to work with, which had been
conuleuimecl as unfit for a good workman
to use. Tut such tools into the
junk heap, or lay them away to be usee
j only in cases of extreme emergency,
and give the boys good tools and teaci i
them how to use them and take care of
them, .and even if they do spoil Thenby
not knowing how to use them, it
will lie better than spoiling the boys
We remember when our fathers
bought us a new hoe. small and light
suitable for a boy. and in showing us
how to use it he found it work so we 1

he had a new one nimself.?American

be glad to know of some way of
J branding which would not bo so cruel
| as many of the old methods. It serins
that Walter A. Cameron of Stacy,
Mont., has invented an instrument to
be used with an indelible fluid instead
of burning. It would seem that it
would be an effective and permanent
! marking and probably as convenient,
or more so than most of the old methods.
j The branding instrument, as de
[ scribed by the Scientific American,
consists of two levers pivoted together
i and provided with jaws. On the lower
jaw a soft metal impression block
is secured, and cn the upper jaw a
| block is carried, having a chamber
communicating by means of a tube
with a reservoir containing the indelible
fluid. The tube incloses a plunger
operated from the upper lever and is
provided with lateral ports at its upper
| and lower ends. The lower ports per
mit the fluid to flow into the chnm
bored block when the plunj; r is raised
unil the upper ports permit the liquid
above the pluup r to be forced l a> K
into the reservoir. Symbol carrying
plates are removably secured to the
chambered block.
! The symbols consist of b. tt'TS. Hj:;
tires or other chnrabtbrs, and are
! formed Of tubular pins. In using the
instruments the levers are used to sop
urate the jaws. Ify reason of this nio!
tion the plunder will be drawn upward
to permit the liqu'd front the r. servoir
to flow into the chamber. After placing
the impression block cnrriid oy

loose strawy manure. Avoid using
rich and raw manure. Taubark is in
some cases available, and where nothing

P., in the New York Tribune;
Compact Redder*.
Not only the bedding plants that arc
well started into growth when transplanted
to their summer borders, but
especially the annuals, will Ik? vastly
improved if they have a systematic
"pinching back" at this season, i tower
beds are often noticed which are
too large for the number of plants
placed in them: this gives a bare unpleasant
appearance to the beds until
late in the summer when the plants
have thrown out enough branches to
cover up the spaces. A smaller bed
moderately close and compact is much
more satisfactory and effective.
A great deal can be done however,
to improve a bed that appears slightly
bare at first, by slightly pinching bark.
By pinching out the tiny leaves and
centre of each shoot (not taking off

now branches; and when these new
branches attain tw% inches or less in
length they may also in turn be
pinched out. and in this way each
plant will become quite bushy and
cover more#space.
To keep up vigorous growth give the
beds a top-dressing of fine manure,
which will also act as a mulch to the
plants and be of great benefit to them.
L>o not let the soil become hard; it
should be stirred frequently to keep
the plants in good growing condition,
and with this slight care the bedding
plants will soon become compact and
filled with b'ooming branches that win
keep up a continual display of summer
and fall bloom.
To lie successful with the summer
bloomers practical common sense will
be more satisfactory than all the luck
theories. Many professed lovers of
flowers cling to the fallacy that success
in the culture of plants is. purely
a matter of "luck." They think that
"flowers always grow for some folks."
while others "never have a bit of luck"
with them. This theory should be exploded
as speedily as possible. It bas
no foundation, in fact, it is purely Jarlacious.
Luck rarely lias any part >n
the successes of life, and it has little
to do with success in the culture of
flowers. Success in this direction is a
question of unceasing watchfulness,
industry and information, with a mixture
of common sense.

The German prepared to defend the

the robbers came up he jumped out,
and going to the side of the road,
called out that they were quite welcome
to rob all the other passengers,
but that they would please hrst take
down his portmanteau and place it

AMENDMENT
AND AYCOCK
The Result of North Carolina's
Hotly Contested Elections.
DEMOCRATS WIN THE VICTORY
flafiort Butler Turned Down and
Adoption of Amendment Will
Disfranchise Many Negroes.
The elections in Korth Carolina
Thursday for state officers, membefit
of the legislature and county officers
and for an amendment looking to a
practical elimination of the negro from
politics, ttere unexpectedly quiet.
By far the greatest interest centered
the ficrht ntpr the amendment. Over
^ ? o? - ~
the state a great many negroes voted
for it. The faculty of Livingstone
college^ at Salisbury, one of the most
prominent negro educational institutions
in the souths voted for it.
The amendment was opposed by the
ftision fbtces of the Populists and Republicans
headed by Senators Butler
and rriteliahl aiid the campaign was
the most taittei" staged in the state
since reconstruction days. There was
a full poll of the democratic strength,
which, combined with a small negro
vote and some Populist and Republican
votes, rolled np an unprecedented
majority.
Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee
for governor, wac defeated by Charles
B. Aycock, democratic nominee,
fully 40,000 majority. All other state
officers w?re elected by equal majord
ties. The legislature is democratic in
both branches. The election through
out the state was generally quiet and
peaceable, the negroes, as a general
thing, remaining away from the polls;
_ The voting in Raleigh was the quietest
ever known. Business was sus^
pended and the day was Sabbath-like.
There was no disturbance and no aiS
rests. The negroes who had registered
polled wit.hiu fifty votes of the
registered strength. About fifteen of
them voted for the franchise amendment
and the Democratic state ticket.
The ne^*8 which came in during the
day from other parts in the state was
that the election Was extremely quiet
and that the democrats polled theif
greatest tote at a number of points.
Never in any electiou was interest sd
intense. Democratic State Chairman

could Lave been desired and that it
was never before cast so early in the
day. The Democrats carried the electii*u
by business campaign methods.
This is the first time in the history
of North Carolina when the full Dem*
ocratic vote was polled in every county.
The estimates in fact, were below
the poll, as was quickly proved, as all
reports showed an increase. State
Chairman Simmons says he sent out
7o,000 persoual letters during the
campaign.
The military in Raleig* were kept
on waiting orders all uuy in the armory,
but there was no call for their

If he desires to take his fiancee
to the theatre, her family accompany
her. and they walk on ahead, leaving
him to follow.
It is not regarded as correct for the
young people ever to be alone, and. of
course, the natural result is that clandestine
wooing is very usual.

CIR105ITY OF THE CHINESE.
??
Hardships a Eur<)p:ad Woman Encooniere'd
in the Empire.
The eves of the world are upon China
ht the present writing, which makes
i timely the appearance of a work by
Mrs. J. F. Bishop on "The Yangtze j
Valley and Beyond." which embodies !
the personal experiences of the writer
, in the Celestial Empire.
! Mrs. Bishop for the most part trav- |
i eled alone, save for a few natives, and j
i on several occasions nearly lost her j
! life at the hands of violent mobs who
had hever seen a European. The hardI
ships she endured from the curious
j crowds she thus describes:
"I sat in my chair in the village '
street the unwilling center of a large
arid very dirty crowd, which had
leisure to stand around me for an hour,
staring, making remarks, laughing at
my peculiarities, pressing closer and
closer till there was hardly air to
. breathe, taking out my hairpins and
passing ray glove round -and putting
them on their dirty hands, and on two
occasions abstracting ray spoon and
slipping it into their sleeves, being in
| no way abashed when they were dej
fected. . . . The crowd which always
; gathered during my passage down the
street rolled in at the doorway, blocking
up the y^rd. shouting, oftentimes
hooting, and fighting each other for

If It were merely a boarded wall, a
row of patient eyes usually watched
me for an hour, and with much gratification,
for these rooms are dark with
the door shut, and my candle revealed
my barbarian proceedings. But worse
than this was the sldw scraping of
holes in the plaster partition, when
next, accompanied by the peculiarly
irritating sound of whispering and
eventually by the application of a succession
of eyes to the hole, more
whispering and some giggling.

Potato Blight
it is not yet fully decided, or at least
parties are not all agreed, whether the
leaf blight is the cause of the potato
rot, or whether they are entirely different
fungus resulting from similar
conditions. We incline to the latter
opinion, because we have found rotten
potatoes where we saw no leaf blight.
But It is surely the case that when the
leaf is badly blighted the crop is damaged,
and there is likely to be rotten
potatoes in the bill. It is, therefore,
better to prevent the blight by spraying
with the Bordeaux mixture. It is
not claimed that this will cure the
blight when it has once got a foothold,
but is is a preventive, and even
may check its spread when it has appeared
in a part of the field. The directions
given by the experiment stations
for effectual work in this is to begin
spraying when the vines are six inches
high, and repeat one in 10 days or two
weeks, as long as the vines remain
green, which they arc said to do much
longer than when not sprayed. This
gives a longer season of growth, even
on fields where the blight would not
have come, and this results in a heavier
crop. A case has been reported where
part of a field was sprayed and part
left without the treatment. The blight
did not appear in either part, but the
sprayed part kept green longer and
yielded more. The cost of material to
spray an acre is placed at about 50
cents each time, and the number of applications
at from five to seven?American
