V?Nr eclipse* Oee^r In IOO?
Aocordiug to the almanacs for
1900 there will be four eclipses
durtng the eoming year. Tliey
nHl be equally divided between
(he sua and the moon? Three of
the number, total eclipse of the
?on, a total eclipse of the inoon,|
will be visible iu Columbia, while
the fourtn, a partial eclipse of
the suu, will uot bo \ isible in this
county.
A total eclipse of the sun,
which will occur ou June 17, will
^be visible to the United Suites,
with the exception of a small
part of the Pacific Coast States.
A total eclipse of the moon
Will appear, or rather disappear,
?|uue3, which -will also be visi
ble iu this part of the country.
A total eclipse of the moon is
scheduled for November 20 and
*7. which will be in the uaturc
Of a Thanksgiving offering. This
4iellpM will bo in plain view iu
Columbia and the smoked glass
can be ealled into' play success
fully ou this occasion.
A partial eclipse of the suu,
December 12, 13, will not be
Visible to tliu people of the Urn
led States, and a chance to see
Old Sol partial ly hide his face
will, be denied Columbians. A
partial eclipse is not as good as
* total one anyway, so "what do
we care?*'
The new almanac reveals a
number of other interesting
things. Among the number,
New Year's day falls on Friday.
Washington's birthday ou Mon
day. Oh, horror, of horrors,
July 4 on Sunday! Of course
Monday will be utilized, but what
is the Fourth of July without the
4th? Lee '8 birthday on Tuesday.
Thanksgiving day will be Thurs
day (sure), November 25. Christ
inas day (oh, fudge, again) will
be on Suuday and the little folks
will have to keep quiet when
they see what Santa Claus has
brought. What is Christmas
without the attending yells?
Labor day of course will be on
a Monday, and the dale will be
tieptemter 0. Memorial day will
be on Monday, while Thursday
of fair weelc which is a verj
legal holiday indued in Columbia,
will probably bo ou the 28th o(
October, which is the last Thurs
day in October.
Easy (? ltun a Ncwepupcr.
People tli in U it is easy to run
a newspaper. Ono week's ex
perlence would change the opin
ion of most peoplo on litis sub
ject. Did you ever count llie
words in a column of ordinary
newspaper print? 'Well, there
is about a thousand words in a
column. {Suppose you sit down
h?U write a thousand words upon
lome subject and then another
thousand and another until you
have written eight 6r ten thous
and. Try it, and see if it is
right easy. Keep that gait up
{or a month, a year and see if it
Is easy. Theu chase a single
local item all over town, and af
ter you have gotten the facts all
.?ht, condense them into a few
lines, an hour's work that can
be reud in a few seconds. Do
this for a dosou items that seem
insignificant after they are
printed, but which you know are
important; then have the items
criticised and inaccuracies poiut
4>d out to you when it is too late
to correct them. Oh, yes, it is
4vtsy to run a newspaper. ? Or'

Ono of the most effectual ways
of destroying hawks is to trap
thein. When a chicken has been
found parti v ealen, or if the
hawk can !?o made to drop it
when first caught, and a trap
with a figure 4 trigger s<?t over
it, the chjckon being securely
tied to tho long trigger, the
hawk will surely return for its
in<snl. I have known them to
return after four days. Any ono

A Cure for a Broody lieu.
A cure for a broody hen, siin
pie, effective and prompt, is to
contiue her in new quarters away
from hor 'host and its locality,
and compel her to take a dose of
castor oil, about a te.ispoonful,
once a day for throe days, feed
ing her meanwhile on soft and
laxative food. This treatment
will usually cu.-o the most 00
stjnato case. Tho reason is,
that the hen in a broody state
has a sort of inward fever, which
causes constipation. It will be
uoticed that frequently setting
hens will abandon their u??sts
when afflicted with diarrhaci.
The castor oil is harmless in its
eiTects, it loosens the bowels,
which assist in dispelling tin*
fever, and with change in lo
cation a cure from broodiuess is
almost certain. 0
