"Freaks* in Modern Fiction.
It occurs to the Study sometimes, io
turning over the pages of modern
fiction?as one might walk through a
world of distempered fancy?how the
pages would appear if one could see the
characters, as they are drawn, in visible
ngores. The procession would startle
anybody except the professional
v> alienist. The very word 4'character"
has come to mean an abnormal type, or
ralbar specimen, of humanity. There
bat never been a physical freak so fan
tastilo ' as some of bese moral freaks ;
but the production in fiction of a moral
freak, if it is done with an air of
scientific analysis, is regarded as a
praiseworthy achievement. Analysis
of actual human nature, or of the work
ing of any mind, is quite another thing
front the creation of a freak by a jumble
of human qualities. This is, however,
a deeper matter than the Study intended
..- to go into at this time. It was only
. thinking, as a matter of art, what sort
?t pictures these morbid studies io
aeetai anatomy, in moral deformity,
would make, and how the reader would
like te bave them before hia? eyes for
bonra and days.. The mediaeval artists
Used 't? attempt this sort of thing, and
drew monsters which perhaps repre
sented their ideas of human nature, if
not total depravity. They did not help
the world much, either as ideals or as
mirrors in which poor humanity can see
itself as it is. It is very difficult to eie
tate one's ideals by a contemplation o?
vice. Bat, again, this is going beyond
? subject. We must ba?e, of course,
real life in literature. The Study sim
ply had the whimsical fancy ?o imagine
what would be the effect on the reader
If many of the people the novelists offer
as as companions could be visibly drawn
for him as the freaks they are.?
Charles Dudley Warner, in the Editor's
Study, in Harper's Magazine for July.
It has transpired that Bowden, of
he Cotton Plajt, and the apostle in
fhis State, of Third Partyiam smokes
cigarettes and inhales them. After that
fact has been ascertained no one wiil be

' 7 Household Hints.
Apples that take a long while to balie
should always have a little water put in
the pan.
It is not generally known that large,
tipe encumbers make a most excellent
sweet pickle, but it is so.
The nicest thing with w: ich to scour
knives is a large cork dipped io water,
then in bath brick. It is far better
?nana' rag.
To restore black cashmere, wash it in
bot ends with a little borax in the
water ; rinse in Very strong boiling
water, and iron while damp
The best muci! -ge is made from gum
tragacauth and water. When well
dissolved, add a few drops of oil of
cloves and a tiny piece of alum.
Boiling starch is much improved by
the addition of sperm or salt, or both,
or a little gum arabio dissolved.
Milk which has changed may be ren
dered fit for ose again by stirring in a
little soda.
Fish may be scaled easier by first
dipping them into boiling water for a
minate.
Frot? meat beginning to sour will
sweeten if placed out of doors iu the air
over night. .
Kerosene will soften boo's and sbces
that bave been, hardened by water and
render them pliable as new.
A tablespoon ful of turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will aid the
wbiieaieg process.
Wetting the hair thoroughly once or
twice with a solution of salt and water
will keep it from falling out.
Salt will curdle new milk ; in pre
paring porridge, gravies ete,salt should
not be added outil the dish is prepared
Bam water and soep will remove
machine grease from wa&hable fabrics.
Charcoal is recommended as an
absorber of gases in the milk-room
where foul gases are present. It should
be freshly powdered and kept there
continually.
For ivy poisoning paint the affected
rte with s r ? wo<d-lye. Let re
main a moment, then wash off with
Inkewarm water. When dry rub over
with vaseline.
A good cement for china is made this
way: Mix with a strong solution of
gam arabio and water enough plaster
of paris to make a thick paste. Apply
this with a camel's hair brush to the
broken edges and unite.
To ventilate an apartment, open the
windows both at the top and at the bot
torn. The fresh air rushes in at the
bottom, the foul air rushes out at the
top, and thus you can, at one and the
same time, let in a friend and expel an
enemy.
Add to each quart of well boiled
starch half a teaspoonful of powdered
borax and a tiny piece of lard, ai d
dip the collars and cuff- iu while the
Starch is quite hot. U->e a polishing
iron, and your collars and cuffs will

Above the Constitution
There is no government in the civilized
world, except possibly Russia, which is
not to some extent under the domina
tion of popular opinion. The present
Emperor of Germany is the most virile
monarch in Europe, but be dare not
Oppose too grievously the will of his sub
jects. If there is any written instru
ment of government powerful beyond
all other laws, it is our owu Constitu
tion, it is the rule of action prescribed
by the people for the guidance and
control of their agents. But the history of
the Federal power shows that there is a
power above the Constitution, and that
is the power of popular opinion. There
have often been times wheu the Consti
tution has not stood in the way of the
people's will. Even the Supreme Court
will change its mind if the people are
persistent. It bas not been always
necessary for popular opinion to demand
tbe breaking au flexion of the Constitu
' tion; it is only necessary that it should
approve what bas been done. The
purchases of Louisiana and Alaska, and
the many instances of executive and
legislative acts during the war between
the States that were clearly beyond the
constitutional grants of power, are caaes
in poiut which will occur to any one
who is at all familiar with our constitu
tional history ?Henry Loomis Nelson,
in Harper's Magaiue.

The Force of Association.
The name of T. C. Scnffs, when mentioned
toa resident of Surnter County, inevitably
suggests Stoves, Tinware, Crockery and
kindred goods. This is an example of the
force of association, and it is a worthy
example. For about twenty years he has
supplied the people cf Surnter with Stoves,
urn us. China-ware, Toys, Ltrnps, etc., and his
goods have been of such uniformly good
quality tint he has soldom failed to satisfy.

his patrons during the full and winter of
92-93 is complete. It includes Chinaware in
variety and latest styles, Dinner sets and
single pieces. Vases, Mugs, Cups, and tojs.
Lamps, both library and stand at alt prices.
In Toilet and Chamber Sets, China and Tin
bargains are offered.
The Crockery ware stock is tbe largest ever

to save the housekeeper, who does her own
cooking. Special attention inted to the cele
brated Open Fire Stove?a very pretty grate
ready to set in fire-place or room, and more
ornamental than any grate, no bricks or dirt.
The open Firelight, the best Franklin Stove
ever made, still kept in stock. It uses IM
least coal and gives better results thaji any
other.
