A great many hat? never been before, the crowd coming largely from the small stations between herc and Camden. Only two casualties are reported Two young men fought over the smiles of a fair maiden from Ches terfield county, and were arrested by the police tit Columbia. Aud one Marlboro mau purchased a quart ot peanuts from a small negro boy and started not to pay for them, whereupon the boy "snapped" at him and took out a piece of.his hand as "blood" mon ey. Otherwise it was a very order ly excursion," Thc Uso ol' Lemons. Lemons are of untold good as health pr Carvers. Tbe way to get the better of a ?>iit?tl5-System with out blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of two or three lemons in just enough water to make it pleas ant to drink without sugar, before going to lied. Ju tbe morning be fore breakfast repeat thc dose. Lemon juice is the best anti-seor butic remedy known ; it not only cures thc disease, but prevents it. A physician suggests rubbing of the gums daily with lemon juice to keep them in health. The bands and nails arc also kept clean and in good condition by daily usc of lemon in stead of soap. 11 also prevents chil blains. Lemon used intermittent fever is mixed with strong, hot black tea or coffee, without sugar. Neu ralgia may bc cured by rubbing the part ailee ted with lemon. In fact, its usc arc manifold, and thc more we apply il externally, thc better we shall lind ourselves. Oui* New Kail toad.

She en dured more for yon, served yon more patiently, loved yon more fondly, thought of yon more bravely than any othev person yon have known on earth, or will ever know; save your wife or your husband, if, indeed they can always be excepted. If your mother be spared to you then .you are bound to make her a first charge on your life, as you desire a peaceful conscience and as you shall answer before the judgment seat of God. She most be encompassed with every ob servance of comfort and honor and gentleness and love; with sacrifices, also, if so be it will please her, of tastes and occu pations and time, and even friendship. And after you have done all that you can think of and anyone could suggest, you will still remain a bau k ru j) t for the love wherewith she loved you. A Remedy for Insomnia. The peanut cure is now sugges- ! ted as a relief from insomnia. A man who used to be a poor sleeper says that when be is unable to sleep all bc linds it neccessary to do is. to eat salted peanuts very slowly, "giving in fact twenty-five chews to each nut." This late supper lie says, causes a casual drowsiness to j?.cal over him, and as soon as he bas oaten fifty or sixty peanuts he goes to sleep without tiny trouble.

THIEVES PETTY AND STUPID ttodern Invention Un? Dr Hon OBI tua Crnftr Kind. "Tho people who nowadays givo thc detectives must trouble ure tho meui hers of that vnBt horde of petty thieves, hoth white und black, that infest every great city," said one of the most o in dent detectives of the Washington de partment. "Tho days of mummoth bur glaries, diamond robberies und bril liant thieving op?rations have paused, perhaps never to return, nud Instead of tho really shrewd, calculating and bold thiof of hulf a century ago we bavo today a mob of petty pilferers, who ato far from possessing one-tenth part of tho brains and wit of the old time thief, but manage nevertheless to give tho police a vost deal of trouble. 'Tho progress of Invention hus put tlie shrewd thief and burglar out of business. Say, for example, a man steals several thousand dollars. Very well. Thu moment he does so he real izes that lu order to retain his ill gotten gains he must leave the scene of tho crime, realizing that he ls In nowlso prepared to cope with modern detec tive and police methods. Probably be fore he leaves the city telegrams and telephone messages have preceded him to the cities ol' the United States and Canada, and he is nabbed thc moment he reaches lils destination. But sup posing that hu escape; ali these traps and reaches some loreign country why, he ls simply lu us bad a plight there as he was before leaving home. Nowadays there ls hardly a govern ment or country with which the United States has not entered into an under standing whereby criminals are caught and returned, and what fow and far distant states with which our govern ment has failed to draw up any such arrangement can he very easily man ngud in case Uncle Sam wants to get any of his missing children back. "The result is that no really bright or shrewd person would think of un dertaking a job of burglary or stealing in this age. None hut the desperately poor, (lie degenerates, morphine users, tlie submerged tenth, so to speak, now adays practice stealing.- They aro too stupid to reali/.u the danger of such a course and plunge headlong Into a ca reer that must sooner or later land them behind the bars."-Washington Post.

It picks the potato up and looks lt over, or seems to, cuts it into halves, quin t?is or any' desired num ber of parts, separates tho C3rcs and removes the seed ends.
