REVENGE ON A SNOB.
GETTING EVEN WITH A NEIGHBOR
V/HO PUT ON AIRS.
The Ulan Who IUfc.de Ilia Money Had a
Grndfio Agnlnat the One Who Inherited
Wealth—A I’c.tcnt .Medicine and the IJill-
poater Did the Trick.
This time -the drummer was a travel
ing salesman for a large drug firm in
Philadelphia, and he was, as he put it,
merely knocking around New York to
Bee if his goods were a drug in tho mar
ket or not.
“The meanest, low down kind of re
venge I ever heard of one man taking
on another, ” he was saying when tho
conversation had got around to the an
ecdotal stage, “was told me the other
day. I won’t mention names of persons
or places, for the parties are still living,
but a dozen years apo there was hurled
at the groat American public through
the newspapers from every dead wall in
the city and every fence and bamside
in the country, in millions of pamphlets
and pictures, and by every means known
to the skilled advertiser with unlimited
capital, the name and virtues of a med
icine that vtfould cure all the ills that
fhsh is la ir to, and this valuable truth
was heralded forth with all painful and
realistic details until it actually made
the reader feel as if he uc did some of
tho e uro all as soon as he could get to it.
“In some sections of the country tho
landscape was alive with the glittering
and glaring advertising of this wonder
ful medicament, and in one particular
city and state it seemed as if every
available inch cf unoccupied territory
was covered with notices of it. Bigger,
too, than the name of this medicine was
the name of this Napoleon of public
benefactors, this healer of mankind, the
great discoverer and Blank’s Whc.tevi r
it-wus, and Blank’s Whatever-it-was
was far mere in evidence as Blank’s
than as Whatever-it-wus.
“In the m< antime one man in thoeity
referred to above was gnashing his teeth
and pulling his hair out by the follicles,
and another man was laughing his lungs
out. And why? Because one was tho
revenger, and the other was tho ro-
vcugi o.
“And tho nub of it is herein. Blank
,was a wealthy man in the city of Name
less, where the ads. showed up the thick
est, and ho was ultra swell and uu-
Arooriean and leaked down upon earned
wealth ns compared with the inherited
kind—be being an inheritor. He snub
bed most ot his follow citizens when he
had the chance, but he was particularly
ready to down thc’mauwho was the ar
chitect ef his own fortunes. He who
made money w: s too utterly vulgar for
at ything. Across the street from him
lived one cf t lie kind he disliked so heart
ily, m d this man was a millionaire and
a g< ?:t’»man. He had made cve ry cent ho
powosM d and made it honestly, and a
snob v.*as etc of the objects in life he
was gunning f. r p< rpotually.
“And Blank was one- he had it in for
more than all the cth< rs, for Blank he
had with him always, pe didn’t know
jv.f t Low he was going to obtain his ob-
jc«t in life, but he waited and trusted
in Providence, and one day it came to
him in the shape < f a formula offen d to
him by a prominent phyi-iriau who ree-
owucndi d it us wry nearly an infalli
ble remedy -n'certain cases. He listened
quietly, said nothing, took the formula,
made up las mind and ere Sunday morn
ing i very Sunday news] aj.er in thecily
i f Nameless and in all the ei in the
Unit* d States fairly blossomed with the
circus l iii iK.sters < f Blank’s Wonderful
Whiitik - * r-it-was, and Blank woke up to
find himself famous. Ho tore the cstr-
pers i/ in his vain pawings to nssuago
1 is \ydath, but that did no good, for bo-
icn fhe week was out there wasn't a
spot on earth within reach of Blank’s
rye that didn’t carry the hateful thing
to giurc at him and make his life a
mcikery and a bitterness.
“His was a proud name to Ik> thus
dragged through the mire ef vulgar
primus’ ink, but ho bad no recourse,
lor ihe other man had found another
Biai.k, one who wasn’t so aristcxTatic
ami was willing to sell his gc.ixl uamo
at a fair price to decorate a patent med
icine. It whs the same name, yet in law
lit wasn't, and Blank couldn’t do one
earthly thing except groan in spirit and
curse the day that the man across the
street had born bom. Once he threat
ened to challenge his tormentor, hut on
second thought concluded that it wt uld
further advi rtise himself and the medi
cine*, so he s< ttlid down finally to accept
ing the situation and prese rving a digni-
Lcd silence, which he has done to this
day.
“Now, just to show how Providence
is always on the side of the right,’’con
cluded the drummer, “Tmay say that
the man vho risla d bis money to make
Blank's name a burden to him made
(500,COO cut of the patent medicine,
and to add somewhat to the romance of
it he gave £25,0(0 cf his earnings to a
widowed sister of Blank, who had sev
eral children dependent upon her and
had but a snail income.”—New York

GlflL LIFE IN MEXICO.
Site II»< Cosrldrnibl® Fr«>p<Ii>ni, but It Is
of the Kiglit Kind.
llexierii h.omo life is unique. It dif
fers very essentially from the domedio
life of the Anglo-Saxon rae*o, for it is
founded on respect for parents. Tho iu-
llueuce of the Catholic church is power
ful in maintaining a high grade cf fam
ily behavior. There is a swee tneas and
a charm about a well ordered Mexican
h^me which is a n v < lation to northern
people who have imbibed a false idea of
matters here. The women of the bent
Mexican families are naturally of a gen
tle disjxisition, but they command obe
dience, and rarely spoil their sous,
whom they idolize. There ore excep
tions, but they arc not enough to bre ak
down the general social discipline.
As for the girls, no re putable Mexi
can father or mother would allow for a
moment the thought of permitting a
girl of any ago to be* on the streets after
dark unless accompanied by an older
pe rson, a trusted sen-ant or elder broth
er. So, even among girls of the humbler
class, there is no street strolling in the
evening. The y may, in warm weather,
go to the alaun da, or public park, when
there is a banel concert, but always un-
de*r escort. They may go to a tertulia,
or evening party, but with some com
petent person. They may dance, mildly
flirt, em such occasions, but they are al
ways under the watchful eye of a rela
tive. There is plenty cf proper freedom
for young girls, and a larger liberty in
the cities than formerly, but they are
not allowed to run about without escort,
and a very careful eye is kept upon
them by parents and relatives, even to
distant male cousins. Such a thing as a
young girl or young woman of any
character or family being upon tk<*
street at night, alone and unattended, i. ;
unknown. Your daughter goes to visit
a friend in the afternoon and stays to
tea. Thru the gentleman and lady of
the house, the gentleman alone or an
old servant brings her homo. So tic-
streets cf this big town arc never tho
sci no of foolish, flighty girls being fol
lowed and “picked up” by strangers.
And as for men who insult young
girls and women, the remedy is usually
a sudden and fatal cue. In milder cases
tho newspapers give minute descriptions
of tho “satyr” who has insulted a lady,
and the public is asked to take warning.
One fellow, who, in an interior city,
made an insulting n mark about a lady
standing at a window, was conducted to
the alnuKc.a, and, in view of the chief
part of the town’s best society, was held
down on a stone bench and caned until
he yelled for mercy, and was thru or
dered out of town on the next train. He
went. In another city a male teacher,
who was “too fresh” in his eondm t to
ward young girl pupils, was waited on
by a deputation of gentlemen and asked
i to taver the city by his permanent ab
sence. Hi*, too, went.
The et iquet te regarding the protect ion
of worn*» from molestation and insult
i is such ax prevails in the- southern states
of the American Union. There is no
fixdijig on the stm ts, in the theati rs
and public places with respect able wom
en. Then* is s< methiug left here of 1 lie
old Spanish idea of the sacredness of
womanhood, and tho line is sharply
drawn let ween hcr.ctt women and the
other kind.—Boston Herald.

MAKING AN ICEHOUSE.
An Ornamental Strnctnr« That Meet* Mod
ern KcijuJrcmrnts—Dow to Fill It.
The whole secret of keeping ice lies
in the building of a suitable place for
its storage and surrounding it on all
j sides, top and bottom with some dry,
: nonconducting material. A writer in
{ American Gardening, who has had to
do with many icehouses, gives the fol
lowing details, with illustrations, of a
house that will meet all modem require:-
ments. Ho says:
An iechousa ought to bo built abovo
ground and near two large trees. Tho
site should lx* high and dry. To insure
perfect dryness at the bottom it will be
well to first of all mark out on the

NO BACKSHEESH.
Arab* Will Not Accrpt Any Gift* From
Their Dene it Guest*.
R. Talbot Kelly, an English artist
who has live d long among the- Arabs,
writes and illustrates a pape*r e*ntitie d
“In the Discrt With the Bedouin,”
which appears in The Outury. In di: -
cussing Arabian hospitality, Mr. K< By
says: I had not much time for ejuior e b-
servation, as c ue by one- all the head
men of the tribe- called to j>ay their re*-
speets to the “stranger within their
gates. ” Taking e ff his shex-s at the- en
trance*, eae-h one advanced with many
salaams and, kissing my hand, uttered
the single word, “Mchubbah” (“Wel
come”). They then seated themselves in
a long row ut the other side* of the tent,
discussing me in undertones. No one*
spoke tome unaeldresseel, and even tla-
sheik himse lf, whose guest I was, would
not sit on t he carpet beside me uninvited.
Literally,while- the- guest jf the Bedouin,
your tent is saere d, and all the tribe- are
your willing servants, and, though I
have re pcatedly paid comparatively long
visits to them, I have never yet succeed
ed in pn ssing a gift ujx»u my host.
I re member asking the she*ik Saoui e-1
Tahoui, ehie-f «f the Hanaardi Arabs, if
he knew any of the pyramid Arabs at
Gizi-h. He- replied, spitting upon the
ground, “Tlie-y are not Be-donius; t! < y
take-Laekshcesh, ” the*re*by expressing his
contempt for me rce nary sen-ice. On an
other oeea*!'ou, while living with the-
Ncphaarta, the sheik Mansour Abu
Nasrullah had attached to me a young
Arab whose- special duty it was to at
tend to my various wants while; paint
ing. At the; end of the month I tried to
induce* him to accept a sovereign a$
backsheesh. Lexiking much alorwe-d,
he exclaimed: “Oh, my master, I can
not ! It is not allowed. The; sheik would
kill me if he knew I had accepted a
gift.” And sill my arguments failed to
persuade him to take the tip.
KXTEIUOR VIEW OF ICEHOUSE,
ground the size of the building—that
is, its ground space. Then remove the
soil to the depth of two feet, filling in
ag.dn with some* gixxl drainage, such as
rock or large gravel. From the bottom
of this pit lead a drain to some lowe r
part of the ground, so any water ac
cumulating may be earned off.
Froenro some posts 4 by ft inches
across and J 0 or 11 foot long of good
lasting wood, and put into the ground
so as to stand 8 feet above. Make a
double row of posts opposite each other,
as shown on the greranel plan at cut 2,
putting the; rows at intervals of about 2
fe«*r and the posts of each row at about
3 tei t distance. Well firm the* posts into
the ground and line them off squarely
at the top, spiking on the top of each
row a plate of wexxl 0 by 0, staying
these plates so as to form a elouble
fra.-.i'*. Now plank up the insielea of
each line of posts with 2 inch boards,
fitting the pieces closely and carrying
the work up to the wall plates. The
snare thus formed between the boards
pack with tan bark or sawdust, which
will make tin; sides of the house both
sunproof and airproof. Math rs of prime
importance in preserving the ice. Lay
across the inside and upon the ground
some joists, upon which put Ioobo planks
as a floor. Cover the whole with a
layer of dry straw a foot in deptli and
the ice receptacle i* ready.
For tlx roof ujo 3 by 4 iurh joists
and have th hi long enough to forma
pitch ef full 35 degrees and also to ex
tend over tin* outer wall far enough to
carry the roof quite 4 feet beyond
the wall plate. Short stmts ax shown
in the fir.-: illustration may also lx* add
ed to better support tho overhanging
rrxu. To the r.Jrers, thus made seen.*e,
nail closely fitting boards. Make a su
perstructure here 8 inches in height,
and board up as before to form a box
roof and pa< k sawdust into it. Gut a
i.'or.vay through the roof, through
which to put in and take out the ice.
At t he top of the whole insert a piece of
stovepipe to afford ventilation, covering
it by erecting four short posts 2 feet
high, on which is to be fixed a pointed
cap. The- house is now complete.
Take the. ice from the purest water
possible. The blocks are best cut about
X fti-t squan-, and while they are be
ing thrown in have a man on the Jloor
to spread them over evenly and with a
heavy hummer break enough ice to fill
i*i the spaces between the large- blocks.
The. whole mass may lx; rendered com-

of ice. When the house is filled to the
CuHnrnl Notes For First and Second Crop*
From tin* Georgia Experiment station.
Following is a brief summary of an
exhaustive bulletin on the Irish potato,
issued from tho Georgia experiment
station: The preparation should be deep
and thorough, and tho rows trenched 6
or 7 inches deep by means of a subsoil
plow. Six hundred pounds high grade
acid phosphate, 250 pounds nitrate of
soda and 150 pounds muriate of potash
per acre—in all 1,000 pounds—applied
either all under and mixed with the
subsoil in trenching, or half under and
half over, after covering the seed, but
before the furrow is entirely filled, is
suggested as the most reliable formula.
Seed pieces should be cut to weight,
not eyes, and pieces of from three-quar
ters of im ounce to 1 1-3 ounces each are
to be preferred to larger or smaller
sizes. The most expeditious way to pre
pare seed is to quarter tubers weighing
from 8 to 8 ounces, without reference
to eyes. Rows 3 feet apart and pieces
12 inches in the row is the safest
distance. Four inches deep in a thor
oughly mellow, subsoiled furrow may
be regarded as the standard. The earlier
the spring crop is put iu the be tter,
provided late* killing freezes are avoid
ed. The second or summer crop will
mature if planted as lato as the middle
of August in most parts of the state.
Cultivation should be rapid, thorough
and on a level. It dees hot pay to “ridge
up” with a hex;, nor, on a large scale-,
to mulch. Harvi-sting should not be
effected until full maturity has been at
tained by the tubers, which continue
to grow as long as the tops are alive
For extra i arly sales the crop should, of
course, be dug as sixm as marketable
The sun should not In* allowed to fall
on the tubers any longer than can be
avoided, and wooden trays, not split
baskets, should be used in handling.
Surface mulching, a method of culti
vation effected by planting in tho cov
ering furrow, with subsequent surface
mulching without cultivation, produces
a 1'.eavii r yield than the ordinary plan,
hnt not sufficiently greater to pay for
the extra co?t of mulching and harvest
ing, and is hence only recommended
for garden plats.
Second crop, also called the summer or
fall eroj), may be made a success by
either bedding selected whole tulx*rs of
the first or spring crop, and using only
such as show signs of sprouting after
six weeks’ burial, or else by tho use of
Lookout Mountain potatoes of the fall
crop of the previous year, cutting to one
ounce pieces, as for the spring crop.
With cither plan a perfect stand may bo
obtained.
Th'- following list appears to lx* well
adapted to almost all portions of the
state, and is given for the spring crop
as first choice ijt the order of their ma
turity: Pride of the South, Early Rose,
Beauty of Hebron, Carman No. 1 uml
Peerless. As second choice the follow
ing may be selected with confidence: E.
Pride, E. Washington, E. Puritan, Lata
Puritan, Xing of the Roses, Hcnlton
Rose, Pride of America, American Giant
and Maine Pearl. As quite promising
an* added: Early Market, Cretan City,
Bill Nye, Thunderbolt, German Ri se,
Murphy, Empire tftate, Lightning Ex
press and White- May Queen.
For the second crop Lookout Mountain
is the variety recommended.

Hint* on BnlMoUlnff.
Texax Farm and Ranch makes these
suggestions about subsoiling:
Subsoiling is sometimes beneficial
and sometimes useless and may bo in
jurious. Bpriug subeoiling is not to be
recommended. Whenever there is u dry,
hard subsoil, it will pay to loosen it up.
Wherever there is a subsoil inclined te
run together and become compacted, deep
and thorough loon -mug is just, what is
required. Xu porous, gravelly subsoils
the prix-ezs is useless and often injurious.
Subsoil plowing dix-s not produce mois
ture; it simply puts the ground iu good
condition to receive and retain moisture
from precipitation. The capacity of u
porous soil to retain moisture has been
demonstrated. Subsoiling should never
bo done when the soil is very wet, for
this leaves the ground in a worse condi
tion than before. Subsoiling should bo
done in fall or winter so that repeated
rains may settle it and fill it to satura
tion. After this a shallow stirring of
tho surface will retain the moisture so
that many crops can be made with but
little subsequent rain.

Pecans For .Market.
The following is told *u the New Or
leans Sugar Planters’ Journal: “A mer
chant cf this city who handles pecans
largely and is well informed on this in

Louisiana pecans (formerly the best in

many \> room; persist iu thrashing their
trees to got the nuts instead of allowing
them to ripen and drop of their own ac
cord. Wht n gathered green, they are in

oily flavor which a ripe unt has. This
is why. nuts so often sell ridiculously
low, and hereafter those who wish to

down beside the lifting rod until it si ts
[ on the ire, then insert a funnel iu the
end of the pipe and pour iu boiling \va-
