WISE WORDS. Poets write few poems to their wives. Children need muscle more than money. Beauty may palliate poverty, but it can't pay house rent. Women may change their minds of ten, but not their hearts. A sermon should b- as short as the way is narrow it preaches of. Women are sweet, but not sweet enough to preserve secrets in. If a man buys on credit, he does not know when he is living within hit means. Matrimony which makes the woman a plaything and the man a paymaster is wrone. After a man has been kind several times, it is regarded as a part of his plain duty. There is one thin; every man can give without decreasing his own stock -happiness. It is unjust and mean, but natural, for the weak to hate the strong and despise the great. The first thing a girl does when another girl calls on her is to ask to put on her new hat. A man in a position higher than his capacity suggests a cripple contesting with the fleet of foot. Thoughts in the fewest words are generally more forcible than if dressed in elaborate rhetoric. A man should give Lis best moments to himself ; for a cultivated self is your best gift to your fellowmen. Possessing real estate should make a man a better citizen, ownership in creasing interest in public affairs. The world means to move; make it move wrongly, there is notoriety; make it move rightly, there is celeb ritv. Never under any circumstances in terrupt a man who is telling of his complaints; not even if his house is on fire. Many a man is well-to-do simply because he is too well to be done by the enterprising projector f specious projects. Evolution of the Lion Tamer. A man who was known all over the country as a tamer of wild beasts, par ticularly of lions, dropped out of Jight for some time, and was only receutly ditcovered as a maker and seller of tors. He had grown weary of the ex citement of his occupation, and baing a great lover of children, decided to uecome a dealer in toys. He had saved enough money at taming lions to be almost independent, but he fancies the work o making toys, and he does it more for pleasure than gol?. -----_w___ About 100,000 tonis of new steel ra'ilk will be laid by the Pennfsylvania system this year. |bavannah, Ga.

I am a mid-wife and have been giving Mc Elree's Wine of Cardul and Black-Draught tea to my lady patients, both during preg nancy and after birth as a tonic, and have found the treatment will do more than is claimed for it. Two years ago I was so trou bled with female weakness myself, that I could not work at all. I heard McElree's Wine of Cardui recommended, and got six bottles of it, and a mammoth package of Thedford's Black-Draught. I began the treatment as directed, and in two weeks I had hnproved so much I could do my work, and have never been troubled with it since. Mats. V. M. BOISYERT. Zurich, Kansas. Mrs. MAR F.

IOW TO-11 IAISED THE WIND _ UDGING by his haggard looks and the monoto nous way in which he was pac ing upand down the room, the H on. R ober t Speneeley w a a evidently under the influence of a serious mental depression when his particular chum, Tom Langton, favored him with a morning call. "Ralloa! What's up, Bob? By Jove, you are looking seedy." The Hen. Robert stopped in his 1)urposeless walk? languidly extended his arm, lightly touched the tips of his friend's fingers, and heaved a deer' and bitter sigh. "Are you ill, chappie, or has the peerless, patrician Penelope-" "Sit down, Tom. The fact is, I've been a fool." "And how did you discover it?" "Well, as you know, I've been mixed up a bit with Lord Temptown and his set. Jolly fellows. but in clined to go the pace a bit too fast. Hang me if I can say 'No' to anything that they propose, and the upshot of it all is that i-n two nights I have lost upward of X3000 playing cards at the Junior Aborigines- at least, that's the amount they hold my I 0 U's for." "What confoundedly bad luck you must have had !" "I posted down to the family nest yesterday, laid the whole affair before the governor, and vowed that I would never touch a card again if he would help me out of this scrape." "And has he refused?" "Point blank. He reminded me that on several occasions he had paid off my legitimate debts-small in com parison to this one-but he considered playing cards for high stakes so out rageously foolish that he could not and would not help me. I told hint they were debts of honor, but he saidi it was a most dishonorable way either| of making or getting rid of money."i "In conclusion, he told me that asI it was most desirable that I should break off from this connection, he p)roposed to reduce my allowance to E->00 for one year, during which time I am to travel and see as much of the world as I can on a paltry ?10 a week." "And what did you say?" "What could I say? I have no choice in the matter. I have made up my mind that I will not go to money-lenders, and so I must get these fellows to wait until I can re deem my paper." "Look here, old chap. I'll come with you for a time, and we'll go in for a walking tour." "Tonw, vou are a brick. Let ue start thit week." T:hree months had elapsed since Robert Spenceley's departure, during which period frequcnt communications -each bearing expressions of regret for the past and promises for the fu turec-i;ept Lord Mlethwick fully ac quainted with his son's doings. The absent one seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, judging front his grap)hie descriptions of the scenery and incidents of the walking tour. Then the letters ceased altogether. Several times lately the doubt had arisen in Lord 3Iethiwick's mind as to whether he- had not been too severe, rLeemberirng that his son had hitherto borne an irreproachable character, evineing a deep) dislike to all the woraer formis of dissipation, and there was no doubt that this unfortunate af fair at the Juni:>r Aborigines was not the result of inherent or newly-ac quired viciousness, but rather brought about bty a false position, in which, surround~ed by companions of wealth 'tnd repute, he had been led away by thbe excitement and his inability to .'ay Now that no news came from him, h iis father's resolution rapidly gave way under the dlisquieting iniuene of forehoding and the continuon" en treaties of his mother, until at last his cralwas decided upon so soon1 as thle next intimation of his address should arrive'(. Thle next letter did disc'ose hi:s wthereabouts, and this was the thutnderbo'lt: -Most Illustrious Signor-The son of .1our' Excellency is doing us the honor to condescend our humble hos pitality to partake and has to us your addiress given so that we may impart b:s well being. He now his dleparture desires, but we would that your illus trious Excellency to us sending the sum of pounds 400 Englische that we inav be solaced orhis loss." Thern followed an addlress to which a comn m unicatiou was to be sent, and the nls -e concludzed.: "Any initmation to thbe gendarmes will be on the son of our Excelienev. GJiuseppe ! The, most noted and bloodthirsty bsrigaudl of modern times, about who)se crueltif~s and tor tres so mainy hiarrowin.. tales were tid by traveler-, and. upon whose heda heavy price had been set long ago. Lady 3ethwick~ piteously 'oesough' ber husband to send the money at "T'hey will kill my darling boy, and y ii -you-will have sent him to his Her daughters, the Ho.. Agatha, )ndine and Clovis, added their ago tized entreaties; indeed so carried way were they by their feelings that hey actually offered to go without iew hats and dresses for the next welve months, in order to contribute o the ransom money. But his Lord hip (lid not believe in giving way at )nce. Doubtless a lesser sum would e accepted, and while negotiations rere in progress and there was a hance of the ransom being ultimately >aid, he did not think his son would >e in any danger. So he sent an offer if J20. The rei!y to this was a curt efusal. and a postscript added in' tobert Spencele's handwriting was 'Father, send soon; feel sure they; will not take less." But still Lord' Jethwick would not give in without nother effort to reduce the amount, o(1 lie increased his offer to ?2500. The day came when Giuseppe's re )>y was due, but it did not arrive, Lu'I pent-up anxiety caused his lord hip two sleepless nights and two mis rable, irritable days. On the third norning, amorg the contents of the )ost-b!ag was a small parceel, the hand riting of the address of which was minediately recognized. With trem >ling fingers Lord Methwick tore open he package, and there lay disclosed the bold brigand's staggering reply i cardboard box containing a man's mar packed in sawdust, and inside.the id these words were scrawled: "No less than R1000. Part of his Excellency is sent free so-that he may. ear your decide which was final." In after years that day always re mained impressed with startling vivid ness on his Lordship's memory. What with his wife's continual fainting fits; is three daughters consecutive ysterics, their conscious intervals be ing employed in upbraiding him in mch seve.r terms that one would have bhought that the poor man had him elf cut his son's ear off; his own ental anguish as he remembered that he future head of his house would ever be able to hear both sides; the 2rrid possibility of getting the wan erer back for nothing-a piece at a ime; and the fear that at that mo nent further tortures might be in yourse of infliction-he often mar elled, not only that he survived it, but 1hat reason did. not altogether forsake ier tottering throne. And the climax was reached when, in the softening shades of twilight, ady Methwick and her three daugh ;ers, dressed in black, went in solemn >rocession to a distant part of the ,rounds, where, beside a rippling stream and 'beneath a spreading tree, ,he gardener had already dug a grave. Mhere, with fresh bursts of tears and ;assionate sobs, the box of sawdust Tith its precious freight was solemnly buried, and a cairn built over and ibout its resting place. The outgoing evening mail carried two letters, one to the brigands agree ing to their terms, and the other to a friend of the family, who happened to be a Consul in the near neighborhood, inclosing a draft for ?)000, and beg - ging him to put himself in instau' commnication with Giuseppe, ana obtain the captive's release. The Consul did as he was desired, and, in compliance with instructions from the robber band, who were evi detly taking every precaution against being trapped, proceeded alone one evening carrying a parcel of 4000 soy. ereigns to an indicated spot on the out skirts of a forest. Here he was met by a sunburnt, black-bearded giant, pic turesquely attired in his native dress, who carried a rifle, while a couple of revolvers and a poniard adorned his sash. Motioning to the Consul to fois low him, he proceeded but a few paces into the forest, then halted and blew a long, low, peculiar whistle on his fin gers. Approaching footsteps w ere imme diately heard, and there em-. rged from among the trees the whilou. prisoner, alone. As he ranged up to the side of his deliverer the gold was handed over, carefully counted, and then. with a low bowv, the robber turned on hie heel, at onco disappeared, without having uttered a word, and the Consul and his purchase were free to depart. Methwick Hall was abl'ize with light on the evening of the heir's return to ie ancestral home. The female por tion of the family had spent the day i alternately lauging and crying f or joy, and were now in a state of intense excitement, anxiously awaiting the re turn of the carriage fr-om the station. Presently the sound of wheels was heard drawing up to the door, and mother and sisters rushing out, fell uron Robert, hugged him and kissed him and half dragged, half carried him into the bons~e, but it was not untiU after they had been for some time as sembled in the library that there flashed across their minis the remem brance of that horror that lay buried beside the stream. His mother first made the disco rery. "Why, Riobert, you have two ears !" "Two ears, mother? Have I not always had two?" "But we buried one of them." The Hon. Robert was evidently in the dark, and when they explained he leclared (truthfully) that he knew othing about it. As a word painter i proved a decided failure, consider g the adventures which they expeut him recount. He hal nothing to elate, simply monotony waiting for 'he ransom, and, no matter how they ied him with questions, he could t'ell hem nothing of the doings of the rang, for he said he neve- saw any of hem except the one who hadl him in ~harge. A few days after his return, pleading he necessity of a visit to a WVest End 'ailor, he traveled to London. after re ~eiving strict injunctions and giving a romise to shun his old haunts and ~ompanions. Arrived iu town he at nce proceeded to Tom Langton's ~h-bers, and hi~s first words to his hum were: " say-, Tom, whit abouit that ear, ud why wasn't I told of it?" "Well, I thought you might object, nd as it was desirable to bring things a a climax, I got it from the disect ig room at the hiospital through a stu "It took me quite by surprise when bey accused me~ of hiving two ears, nd told me they ha I huried one of iemi. Buat howv about the money?" "I[ have told the fellows that you ave negotiated a loan and empowered ie to pay your debts. Here are the]J Us that I have bought up' and the 'tal amount is about ?2'J'6. The A SECOND TRIAL. Results In an Acquittal for J. Im0 Sullivan. At Anderson, S. C., the jury in the case of J. Mims Sullivan, charged with the murder of Herman G. Gilreath in Greenville on June 14, 1892, after be ing out from 2 p. m. Friday till 12:10 p. m. Saturday, returned a verdict of "not guiltv." This case was first called for trial at the July, 1892, term for Greenville and continued on rifidavits of the absence of material witnesses for the defense. At the October term of the same year, ibe defendant moved to quash the panel of jnrors on the ground that the sheriff of the county wasa half brother of the slain man. Judge James Ald rich grnutedl the motion and as the sheriff had justbeen re-elected for four years, ordered a change of venue to Anderson. At lie Anderson spiing term of 1893 the defendant demurred to the jurisdiction of the Anderson court. The demurrer was overruled and notice of appeal was given. Cir cuit Judge Izlar decided to try the case, but was enjoined from doing so by Justice Pope of the Supreme Court. It was at this term that the stir about alleged attempts to bribe jurors occurred. The Supreme Court sustained the lower court and remanded the case for trial. In October, 1893, the case was tried before Judge Wallace and a ver dict of guilty was rendered. The de fendant was sentenced to be hanged December 22nd, 1893. Execution va staved peudiug an appeal to the Su preme Court for a new trial. Tn 1891 the defendaut moved for and secured suspension of his appeal to al low a motion on circuit for a new trial oo the ground of after discoverod evi dence. Judge Ernest. Gary head the motion and refused it. The Supreme Court sustained the appeal on the grounds. chiefly, that the judge erred in excluding evidevve showing that the State's witnese, Fiu lay, had made statements regarding the shooting different from thoze he made on the witness stand, and had erred in his charge regarding the taking of life; and ordered a new trial and the evidence was practically the same as that given on at the former trial when a verdict of guilty was ren dered and a death sentence passed. NEW COMPLICATION. & North Carolinian Sues the Dispensa ry Board for Damages. The fight on the dispensary law has broken out in a new form that has more than ordinary interest because of the complications likely to follow. This time it is a suit for damages against the State board of control. It is brought in the United States Dis trict Court under an Act of Congress entitled, "An Act to protect trade and commerce r.gainst unlawful restraint and monopoly." The Plaintiff is Julius Loweustein. of Statesville. N. C., doing business as Lowenstein & Co. He is represented by Messrs. Murphy, Farrow & Legare. The defendants are John Gary Evans, D. H. Tomp kins, Jas. Norton and Frank M. Mix son, who style themselves "as a board of control,'" "under the pretended au thority of a certain Act of the Legis laturo of the State of South Carolina." The complaint charges that the de fendants are "combined to monopo lize trade in 'wines, liquors, beer and all other alcoholic drinks used as a beverage in South Carolina." That on the 27th day of May the plaintiff delivered to the Southern Railway at Statesville one barrel of liquor, worth $57,38, and consigned to Thomas Hartigan, Charleston, S. C. That on Ibe 20th the said liquor was seized by parties, to the plaintiff unknown, but who are agents of thme "State board 'f control," and that the plaintiff is dam aged to the amount of $57 38, and he asks for judgment for $171 84, attor eya' fee and cost of the action. The most interesting feature of the case is that the barrel of liquor in question has been seized by the United States revenue officials, .wvho claim that the stampl found upon it has been used once before, and Mr. .Lowen stein will be called upon to prove that it has not been used before, oc to suf fer the consequences for using a can celled stamp, Instructive Meeting of Tobacco Grow ers. The rcgular monthly meeting of the Darlington, S. C., Tobacco Growers' Association was held in the court house, Gen. W. E. James presiding. The subjects for discussion were prim ing, topping and curing. Able and instructi re addresses were dehivered by B. F. Williamson, B. F. Smoot and others, after which the president, H. E. Harmon, the wide awake editor and proprietor of the Son thern To bacco Journal, gave them a talk. He wa very unwell, but made a few re marks, wchich were exceedingly com plimentary and encouraging. He spoke of the fine attendance, and mode of discussion. He also said it would be a short time when this section would grow in abundance the finest tobacco in this country, rand that the yield per acre was much larger than in Virginia and North Carolina. The committee appointed to look af ter the interest of members in the mat ters of royalties claimed by certain pa tentees of barns, sticks, etc., made its report behind closed doors. Resolu tions of thanks were '.then voted the committee for its good report,and also to Mr. Harmon for his words of good The president read a few statistics which were very interesting. The number of acres planted last year were 770; barns constructed 130. This year there is en increase of 3,000 acres, and 240 new barns. These figures show that tobacco culture has become a serious business with these people. A letter was read from Commissioner . L. Roach, in which he stated that they wold allow a special space for tobacco exhibits from that county in Atlanta, and that all other exhibits would be placed in the State collection and would be plainly marked with the exhibitor's name and postoffice address. The subjects at the next meeting are grading, packing and selling. These subjects will also be discussed at the meeting of the Agricultural and Me chanical Association, which will be held at the fair grounds the first week in Auust. "Well," desperately, "what is your name?" "Dobson." "What line are you in?" "I don't understand you, sir." "What are you selling?" impati ently. "Brains!" coolly. The mercantile traveler, looking at the other from head to foot, said slowly, "Well, you appear to carry a very small lot of samples."-Tit-Bits. IOUSEH1OLD &FFAIRS. USES or LIMEWATER.

Have abundance of clean flannel and cotton near by. With a little benzine on a small piece of flannel go over the entire glove, flger by finger. As soon as the flan nel becomes soiled exchange it for clean. Do not use enough benzine to saturate the leather, but simply enough to clean off the soiled spots. Rub the gloves from the finger tips, generally downward and upward, and not in a circular way or across the leather. After using the gasoline on a soft spot rub it with clean flannel until it seems perfectly dry. Only the very highest quality of benzine, or, better still, gasoline can be used. When the gloves are thor oughly cleaned rub them with clean flannel and abundance of talcum pow der. This powder can be bought at any first class drug store, and ten cents' worthis ordinarily enough for 9 year's suppiy. Rub the leather thor oughly in every part with this talcum powder. It makes the glove not only pliable and pleasant to wear, like a new glove, but it puts a soft bloom on the leather. -Milwaukee Journal. CRYSTALIzING TFRUT. Few confections are more delicions than candied fruit, and, too, fen sweetmeats are more expensive, sixty cents a pound being the regulation price, and a pound represents a very small amount. They can be prepared at about half -the cost, however, at home, if care is taken. Cherries, currants, pine-apples, apricots, pears and peaches are best experimented upon. The two former can be used in bunches; the pine apple is sliced across the fruit, each piece being a go-od quarter inch thick; apricots are cut on one side and the stone sliped out, while pears and peaches are halved, and, of course, peeled. Make a very thick syrup, pound for pound, adding for each pound a small cup of water. Bcil the sugar first, then drop in the fruit, and when they have boiled clear take out and drain from the syrup. If the cherries are stoned (the red oxhearts make the finest, being not so sweet as the white and without the rank iartness of the sour red ones), it is nice to string them on a broom splint as they can be more cleverly handled. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar, lay on a sieve, and set the fruit in a warm oven. I used a wire dish, such as our grandmothers kept fruit in, set within auiother dish to catch the syrup. in two hours turn the fruit, sprinkle with sugar again. Keep this up until the sugar has all dripped out. On no account have the oven hot, as it will dry the fruit and leave it like so much leather. An-1, of course, the fruit must be laid in single rows whcn drying. When the juice has evaporated and the sugar has formed a glazed surface, put away in boxes in a dry place. Waxed paper should be laid between each layer. A bureau drawer is as good a place as any to keep them. Detroit Free Press. REcIPES.
