"TOT w THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY MARCH 24, 1802. THE APPLc CF DISCORD. Zver Since Kve's Time It Ha Keen a Source if Trouble. There are some people who, with the best intentions in tho world, have an inveterate habit of getting themselves into trouble by talking when they should keep still, of saying a little too much or not enough. They are like the Frenchman who did not understand our idioms, and who said something malapropos at a social gathering. See ing that he had broken a conventional rale he attempted an apology. Ilis American friend laughingly said: 'When we let the cat out of the bag we never try to crowd it in again." The Frenchman at once became an ffry. "I zee no cat, and no bag, what you mean, ha?'' ho asked. Here is auo her case. A lady of this city who has only one child, a beautiful little girl, remarked to a lady, an ac quaintance, that she was going to the photographer's ti gt the child's pict ure taken as a b 'rthdav present for the father. A fi-vv i! ays Utor the acquaint ance met the couple in a dry goods store. "Oh," she suid, thoughtlessly, "did you got a good picture of Mabel?" Plump went the apple of discord into their midst. "I did not want her papa to know; it is too bad!" said the mother. The father only whistled and looked unconscious. A ma a is seldom sur prised. But the young wife could not dis guise her annoyance and regret. "I had been months planning to give him that picture, and now it is too tad." To the apologies of her friend she only replied: "You have done your worst Xou might have knewn I did not wan' it spoken about" The relations between them have never been harmonious since. The fruit did its mission of mischief only too well. The apple of discord Is a social bomb. It is usually thrown by a woman, as be fitting, and it is not one of the regular weapons of war. Women are notor ious for lack of skill in throwing mis siles, but this effort never fails. It is the unexpected which is always hap pening. There is an afternoon tea, and when there is a lull in the conversation some too vigorous thinker suggests the pos sibility of an interesting criminal who is undergoing trial being hanged. In stantly there is an awful silence the apple of discord has fallen. All re membered that a remote ancestor of the hostess was hanged a hundred years ago tor some political crime. The smartest iingle of the tea things will not cover up the awful mischief that lias been done. The guests have not reached what Thackeray called "cab wit" and will have no soothing re sponse ready until to-morrow when it will fee too late. An antidote to the poison would have been very simple. To have quoted the speech of a past distinguished man Dr. Johnson, was it not? who, when he asked his wife in marriage, was told by the lady that one of her ancestors had been hanged. To this the doctor gallantly and sensi bly replied that although none of his ancestors had been hanged, he was sure that plenty of them had deserved hanging. "Iftaw your husband at the theater on Tuesday night" a giddy girl re marks to a young wife on whom she is calling. "Oh, no, that is impossible. He was at his office all the evening. I remem ber perfectly, because I wanted to go to the thciter that night myself," an swered the young wife in startlingly dit.ti.act tones. Now it is no part of the modern Eria who throws the apple to help undo the mischief it has caused, and she, too, as severates: "My dear, he bowed to mo; I could sot be mistakea" Do you suppose she is ever forgiven for telling the truth? Not a bit of it The husband, too, may tell the truth on his side, that he ran to see the last act after his business was finished at the office and forgot to mention it to his wire. No harm would ever have come of it but for the apple of discord thrown, perhaps with malevolent in tent Come to think of it tho apple is re ipons hie ior a great deal of mischief in the world. liefore the golden apple was thrown to the.most beautiful lady, and by creating envy won its name of the apple of discord, it was a source of troub'e. The most beaut'f ul woman In tho world as she was the only one got up a scene in the garden of EAen by indulging her appetito for the apple of knowledge. Generous, a most wom en are where men ore concerned, she gave Adam a bite, and the mean fellow told of It and laid the blame on the "woman that Thou iravest," and slio has been blamed ever since.

To Prevent Moths.--A largo sponge saturated with turpentine and thrown into trunks and packing bo.xes twice a year will keep garments packed in them free from moths. He move all clothing, shutting the sponge in two or three days Clothing to be packed for a length of tirao must be thoroughly brushed and beaten. The odor of the turpentine will uot be perceptible in the clothing. -"-Dramatic News. Salmon Soup. Put a pound of fresh or a pound of canned salmon in a sauce-pan, cover with boiling water, boil very gently for ten minutes, then strain; remove the bones and skin, press through the colander, add a pint of boiling milk ani the same of veal or chicken broth, thicken with two even tablespoonsful of sifted flour, blended with a tablespoonf ul of butter; add salt and pepper to taste. Stir all together until it thickens and serve. N. Y World. Sometimes simple old-fashioned remedies are as efficacious as serious drugs. A cure in use for years for catarrhal colds and mild bronchial af fections in a certain household is to in hale the fumes of singed mullen leaves. Scatter the leaves on a hot shovel or Stove lid and breathe in the smoke which will arise. In all ordinary cases it will bring speedy relief. In the family referred to, the mullen is gath ered in the late summer and dried, but the Shaker pressed mullen to be had at any druggist's is as good. N. Y. Times. Cheese Straws. Put into a basin two ounces each of finely-grated cheese (any kind), fresh butter and sifted flour, add a seasoning of pounded mace, cayenne and salt mix thorough ly and form a stiff paste with beaten eggs. Roll out this paste just as thin as possible, then cut part of it into strips or straws, about four inches long and not more than one-half inch wide and stamp out the remainder in rings an inch in diameter. Place both straws and rings on a greased baking tin and bake for a few moments in a brisk oven until jnst delicately colored. When doue place as many straws in each ring as convenient Boston Her ald. Potato salad is the simplest and easiest of salads. Chop any amount of potatoes or slice them, sprinkle a layer of potatoes with minced onion, add a layer of hard-boiled egg, if you have plenty of eggs; omit it if you have not Make a mayonnaise dressing, and spread over each layer of potatoes. If you wish, capers and olives may be added. It is quite a go-as-you-please salad, and all potato salad is good, but some potato salid is better than others. Stuffed potatoes are in general merely potato puff made out of the insides of baked potatoes, instead of out of boiled potatoes, and then replaced in the skins. The tops ara sometimes var nished with egg, sometimes not; some' times dusted with bread crumbs, some' times brushed with melted butter, and In most cases are replaced in the oven to heat and brown before serving. It is well to cut off one end of the po tato before baking, in order that it stand in the pan after stuffing. Boston Budget iNEW ADVJEraisa-UiuNXS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NrSttrc ink!

Y. Lodger. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, the favorite cough cure, relieves Asthma, cures Bronchitis, and, if taken during the earlier symptoms of the disease, prevents Consumption of the lungs. Even in the later stages of that malady, this preparation eases the distressing cough, and induces refreshing sleep. Asthma. "Asthma and lung troubles are hereditary ! In my family. My father, mother, sisters, and brothers all suffered from pulmonary diseases and died nearly forty years ago. About that time, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral was ! recommended to me as a relief for asthma. 1 commenced using this medicine and was astonished to find that the sense of suffoca tion and difficulty of breathing quickly dis appeared. Indeed I am satisfied that with out Ayer's Cherry Pectoral I should never have attained my present age, 77 years. I have recommended the use of tills medicine to hundreds of persons suffering from asthma and diseases of the throat and lungs, and have never known It fall to afford speedy re-Uet."-H. L. White, Fond du Lac, Mich. " My mother has been a great sufferer from asthma for the past ten years, and her re covery is almost without s parallel. On ac count of her advanced ag- over seventy we had but little hope ol ever seeing her well again , but the has been cured by only a part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral." Inghs Banks, Tar Brook, N. S. ' Some years ago Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me of asthma after the best medical skill had failed to give m relief. A few weeks since, being again a little troubled with the disease, I was promptly relieved by the same remedy. I gladly offer this testi mony for the benefit of all similarly afflicted." F. 8. Hassler, Editor "Argus," Table Bock, Nebraska. Bronchitis. "Buffering for some time from chronic bronchitis, which would not yield to any medicine, I was at last recommended by my druggist to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Two bottles of this preparation restored me to per fect health." Enrique Alonzo, San Domingo. "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me of a bad cough and my partner of bronchitis. 1 know of numerous cases In which this preparation has proved very beneficial In families of young ch'ldren, so that the medicine Is known among them as ' the consoler of the afflicted.' "-Jas. Kudel, Sancho, W. Vs. "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has glwii me great relief in bronchitis. Within a month 1 have sent some of this preparation to s friend suffering from bronchitis and asthma. It has done him so much good that he wrote tor more. I do all hi my power to recommend this medicine." Charles F. Dumtervllle, Plymouth, Eng. "Having thoroughly tested the properties of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as a remedy for bron chlal and throat affectlous, I am glad to tes tify to the merits of this preparation." T. J. Macmurray, Author and Lecturer, Ripley, O. Consumption. I have been a life-long sufferer from weak lungs, and, till I used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, was scarcely ever free from a cough. This mediclno always relieves my cough and strengthens my lungs, as no other medicine ever did. I have induced many to use it in throat and lung troubles, and it always proved beneficial, particularly so in the case of my son-in-law, Mr. Z. A. Snow, of tills place, who was cured of a severe cough by its use." Mrs. L. I. Cloud, Benton, Ark. "In the winter of 1885 1 took s severe cold, which, In spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family physician consid ered me Incurable, supposing me to be iu consumption. As a last resort, I tried Ayer's Clierry Pectoral, and, In s short time, the cure was complete. Since then I have never been without this medicine. I am ' fifty years of age, weigh ovei 180 pounds, ana attribute my good health to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral."-G. W. Youker, Salem, N. J. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, Prepared by .Da. J. C. ATER & Co..
