AN OLD SOCIAL FEUD.
. QUAnnEL THAT PLAYED A BIO PART
IN NATIONAL POLITICS. '
It Started Soon After 'Jnckson Was
Uleeted President and Sabseqaent
ly ladlreetlr Resulted In the For
mation of the Whist Party. " " - '
An exciting quarrel between a presi
dent and chieftains of his party began
soon after Jackson went to the White
House. In this feud Calhoun was the
principal . figure on the anti-Jackson
side. " The quarrel was incited by two
causes Jackson's' discovery that Cal
houn, who was secretary of war in Mon
roe's cabinet, was hostile to Jackson
daring 'the Florida war -in Monroe's
days, and the refusal of the wife of Cal
houn and those of the members of Jack
son's caibnet in 1839 to recognise Mrs.
Eaton, wife of Jackson's secretary of
war, socially.
Tbe origin of tbe social war .which
I changed factors in politics and indirect
ly resulted in the formation of the Whig
party was this:
John H Eaton,' a personal friend of
Jackson, was appointed ' by Jackson
secretary of war and took his seat in tbe
cabinet in March, 1829, on Jackson's
entrance into tbe White House. Eaton
a few months earlier married Mrs. Tim
ber lake, whose maiden name was Mar
garet L. O'Neill (commonly called Peg'
gy 'ONeill), a woman of great beauty,
of some accomplishments and of on-
bounded ambition. -
jShe was tbe daughter of a Washing
ton tavern keeper. Goeaip had been
free with her name during her wedded
life with Timberlake. and when, after
Eaton's marriage to ber and tbe intelli
gence that be was to be a member of
the cabinet reached tbe public, some of
Jackson's friends told bim that Eston's
entrance into the cabinet would cause
some embarrassment to the administra
tion,
Jackson, who was creditably slow to
believe anything ill of a woman, re
sponded that Mrs. Eaton was not to be
in tbe cabinet - He made it known to
hia personal friends immediately after
tbe administration began that be de
sired that Mrs. Eaton should be accord
ed all tbe courtesies to which ber sta
tion entitled ber.
Tbe wife of -Vice' President Calhonn
and tbe wives of all the members of tbe
cabinet wbo bad any wives refused to
recognize Mrs. Eaton. Jackson took np
her cause with bis neoal" energy, and
the question entered politics, ' Van Bo
ron, tbe secretary of state, bad no wife
(be was a widower). .He had no daugb
ters. He was thus free to extend to Mrs.
Eaton tbe conventional courtesies, which
be did with tbe dignity and grace for
which be was noted.
This made Van Bnren's political for
tune. There had been keen rivalry be
tween Calhoun and Van Buren previous
ly for tbe succession to Jackson in tbe
presidency. Tbe Democratic party was
invincible, and the man wbo got the
presidential candidacy was certain of
election. Jackson was the party's dic
tator. Calhoun, by bis position as vice
president and by bis prominence in tbe
party, was popularly believed to stand
next in line to Jackson. '
; In tbe first year or two of Jackson's
first term Jackson's feeble health was
thought to be a barrier in tbe way of
bis acceptance of a nomination for a
second term, and Calboun was' popular
ly supposed to be bis political heir. Tbe
discovery, through the Crawford dis
closures, of tbe unfriendliness of Cal
norm for Jackson in 1818, in the Mon
roe cabinet and tbe quarrel which tbe
Mrs. Eaton incident brought destroyed
this hope. Van Buren'a championship
of Mrs. Eaton's cause endeared him to
Jackson.
Van Buren'a call upon" Mrs. Eaton at
ber residence bad mighty political con.
sequences. Like tbe shot of the "embat
tled farmers" at Concord bridge, tbe
soand of the silver knocker touched at
Mrs. Eaton's door by Martin Van Buren
was heard round the world, or at least
round that part of the world comprised
in tbe United States.
As a result of the Peggy O'Neill war
(supplemented in Calboun a case by the
Crawford disclosures) Calboun wss shut
out from tbe presidency, was dwarfed
from a national into a sectional ngure.
and his brooding over bis effacement
probably assisted in inciting that sys
tem of political philosophy out of which
resulted secession and civil war. :
Eaton and Van Barea resigned in
April. 1831, In order to facilitate a

TOO MUCH EXERCISE.
The effect It May nave on the Heart
and Health. .
' If we accept the broad fact that ex'
erclBo is good and that its effect is to
increase muscular strength and bodily
development we have to aek, "Why
does still further exercise cease to be
good, and what do we mean by overex'
erclse?" First, we. must draw a broad
distinction between tbe effect of con
stantly maintained exertion which is
required in certain trades and the al
ternating contraction and relaxation of
all the muscles of tbe body, which is the
characteristic of games and athletics of
ail kinds. That constantly maintained
effort or monotonous repetition of tbe
same movement tends to exhaustion
rather than nutrition goes without say
ing. But taking ordinary so called
healthy exercise, by what - is its limit
sett Tbe limit .appears to be set by
three factors:, (1) The capacity of tbe
digestive organs to keep np the quality
of the blood; (2) tbe capacity of the
excretory organs to get rid of tba waste
products which result from muscular
action, and (8) the power of the heart
to drive a constant stream of blood
through every corner of tbe organism,
Interference with digestion is a by no
means uncommon effect of excessive ex
ercise, and so far as training is con
cerned it is one of tbe most destructive..
Tbe blood cannot flow in full stream to
every part at once. As Dr. Lander
Brunton says, "Every one knows that
while moderate exercise tends to produce
appetite, a long and exhausting exer
tion tends to destroy tbe appetite and
even to produce actual sickness, as one
finds in mountain climbing. - . ,
People differ greatly in this respect
but iu some great, ponderous men as
they may seem the digestion is so
easily upset by muscular exercise that,
although they may be giants for a mo
mentary exertion, anything like sus
tained effort disturbs digestion and cuts
at the very root of their nutrition. In
many cases; however, the limit 1o exor
else lies in diminished excretion. Un
less the excretory organs are thoroughly
efficient the tissues become crowded
with products which cannot be got rid
of, tbe senses become dimmed, and ef
fort beccmes a mere automatism In
consequence of a self poisoning by the
products of muscular waste. - ;
Bo far we bnve dealt with what may
be fitly termed tbe automatic checks to
overexercise. Interference with diges
tion so lowers nutrition, while acoumn
lation of waste products so poisons tbe
system, that in either case farther exer
tion becomes impossible tbe very will
to make it posses away. But it Is differ
ent in regard to tbe heart The heart,
although strained, may yet be driven
on to its own destruction. Every inus
cular effort not only demands from tbe
heart an Increased flow of blood, but
also drives an increased quantity to
ward it So long as, tbe heart can pass
this forward air la well, but when. It
fails not merely is tbe circulation of tbe
blood rendered Imperfect but serious
damage is done to tbe heart Itself. If.
when the heart was overdriven, it mere
ly struck, tbe enfeebled - circulation
would soon put a stop to further effort
Tbe willing heart, however, taking at
each beat a wider, sweep and driving
into tbe vessels a larger quantity of
blood, so meets the call that tbe athlete
can struggle on, perhaps to win his
race. ; But tba strained heart suffers,
tbe stretched muscle does not quite
come back, tbe dilated cavity does not
quite close at each contraction, and
permanent mischief Is set up. Thus It
is that exercise driven to tbe limit im
posed by the heart is overexercise in tbe
moat serious sense of the word. If it id
tbe heart that stops it, tbe chances are
that it bis already gone too far. Hos

Brief Meatloa.
The decrease of grazing capacity la
tbe central and western portions of
Texas bos been attributed to the ravages
of prairie dogs and to putting too many
cattle on the bind. . Farther south the
encroachment of brush and cactus and
a large increase In the number of Jack
rabbits are additional causes.
According to a Texas exchange, re
ports indicate that tba frnit and vege
table industry in east Texss is growing
rapidly. Hundreds of farmers in that
section of tbe state are said to bars

- Chieka Food From Fowls. "
No doubt some of the readers have
experienced difficulty in raising chicks
In tbe same yard with bens, which re
sulted in tbe chicks being crowded out
at mealtimes and being pecked by the
hens. They were afraid to go among
tbcm, tbe chicks securing only the food
not desired by the bens. In the lllua-,
tration No. 1 shows a box into which
the chicks can go at any time to feed,
and the hens cannot get to them at alL
The box is made of 16 foot board, 12
inches wide, the board being cot Into
four pieces, each piece four feet long;
and nailed together. Tbe box has no
bottom, bat the top is covered with
lath, the sides having boles that admit
the chicks and exclude the bens. By
having the box bottomless It may be
moved from place to place, thus avoid
ing filth.
A cheap coop for a hen and a brood
of Young chicks may be made of an or
dinary large cheese box, as shown in
Na 8. If the box is not deep enough,
two of them may be fastened together.
It is only Intended for use during the
first few days of tho chicks, as the box
would not answer for tbe ben during
any length of time, the room being too
restricted. It serves well for summer
use, as it Is cool and can te cleaned or
moved easily. Simply mark the box all
around Into strips about two inches
wide and cat out each alternate strip,
The object of the contrivance la to en
able one to prepare a coop in a short
time and at almost no cost. As tbe
chicks will be removed after tbey are
large enough to ran about tbe coop
may then be need for tbe next young
brood. '
More properly Na 8 may be termed
a cover for the feed dish or it may be
mads larger for confining a ben, tbe
chicks to ran In and out Simply at-
tacb a handle to an old basket or a box
of any kind and make entrance boles of
a diameter Just sufficient to permit
young chicks to ran in and out The
bottom of the basket or box should first
be removed.
Tbe object la that when feeding
young chicks tbelr food may be so cov
ered as to protect It from larger chicks
or fowls, while tbe chicks can belp

Many a busy farm wife adda to her
manifold duties the rearing of chicks,

on these attractive little creatures are
not wholly given because they are
things of beauty, but because she knows
that there ere good "returns" in stage

Properly bestows, mind, for improper
and insufficient food, overfed or irregu

a disappointingly small profit When
chicks are 84 hours old, they may usual
ly be removed with- safety from the
nest, if tbey are placed in a sunny,
sheltered nook or corner, in a rainproof
coop, having a board floor.
Carefully examine mother biddy,

good lice killer. If yon have none, sot
orate an old rag with kerosene, rub ber
legs well and brash over tbe feathers
lightly, taking especial pains tomb the
breast feathers, wings and under port
of tbe body feathers, but do not have
wet enough to drip.- Place ber in the

this way once a week or once in two
weeks will rarely have any lice to trans

A hnidle, built of woven wire or
latb-about tbe-coop-to-protect-tbe
chicks from other bens or from some
cat Intent on a juicy morsel for herself
or ber kittens, is a wise precaution, a
necessary one If yoo desire to raise a
large per cent of the chicks hatched,
especially necessary if yon are raising
pore bred birds. The wire can be taken
down, rolled op and put away after the
chickens are grown, and will last for
years.
After using a variety of roods I nave
for the past two years fed rolled oats
and millet seed almost exclusively. One
might tblnk it expensive food, bot it is
not Take a few dozen ggs to tbe
grocer and exchange tbem for oatmeal.
If yoo are not more than pleased with
tbe results and the cheapness of this
feed, then your experience will differ
greatly from mine. On no account wet
or cook tbe oatmeal. Feed dry always.
Millet seed makes tbem plump as quails.
Place tbe coops where the chickens can
have free access to tbe garden, and they
will glean all the bugs and worms that
tbls plat affords and will also get all tbs
grit tbey require. Never neglect to pro
vide tbem with plenty of pure, clean wa
ter. If one hasn't a drinking fonntain,
a very good substitute Is a saocei or tin
plate in which a baking powder or to
mato can is placed. We vary tbelr feed
by giving occasionally finely chopped or
bard boiled eggs. As soon aa garden
vegetables begin to grow shredded onion
tops and crisp lettuce leaves are added
to tbeir bill of fare. A the chick de
velop we cbsnge from oatmeal and mil
let seed to cracked corn (for night feed)
and give wheat screenings or buckwheat
mornings, 1
Always see that tbe little feathered
pet are securely boused If a sudden
storm is imminent, and let tbeir shelter
at all times be such that tbey are dry
and warm. A chilled chick is quite as
bad off aa yon would be in a like condi
tion. Remember they are "baby"
chicks, and if yon would have tbem
grow and thrive yon must treat tbem
accordingly. Cold and lice are tbelr
greatest enemies, the two source from
which nearly . all tbeir ilia emanate.
Careful boosing nights snd rainy daya
will prevent the former, aad cleanliness
and a jodiclooe tfse of a good liquid lice
killer certainly will prevent or totally
annihilate tbe latter. Yon may think
this altogether too much trouble. Yoo
"would rather let tbem take care of
themselves than fuss like that" Do yon
batch 10 to IS chicks from every sitting
and rear them all when tbey "take care
U themselves t" Or do yoa bs ve several
hens wandering sroond.balf tbe sum

chicks apiece f Do yon get $1 to $10 for

A subject for continual discuarion be
tween poultrymen, snd especially writ
ers on poultry, is tba difference, sop
posed or real between white and brown
eggs. On this question a bulletin of tba
government's agiicoltoral bureau says,
and this oogbt to settle it:
"It bas been said by some that tba
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones. Tola statement is not norn 001
by s chemical analysis, and tba physical
examination proves that tba main
points of superiority, t boa Kb extremely
slight are possessed by the whits eggs.
Tba mlanto differences that are found
between tba two groans are exceeded
by variation between the varieties
within tba mm group We can there
for state aa a eonclnsion. both from a
chemical and a physical point of view.
that there are practically so diaer-
sscee, so far as the good valoe is con
cerned, between tba white shelled and
brows shelled eggs."
Groond meat or ground bones sboold
siot be mixed with other foods. It sboold
be fed sepaxstcly as a food by itself.
There sboold be certain meals on spe
cial dsys, for giving It to tha bona. For
instance, givs it st night every three
daya la a troogh, nnmixed with other
food, so that tba benawlll bar nothing
bat the groond mest orgoond bones for
that meal. Do not feed it of User than
twice or three times a week. Feather.

1 wish to call the attention of insurers in Alamance county
to the fact that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1803 by the late firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring.
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low
er rates or better indemnity. Oqly first-class companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my office. . With
s practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited upon
all matters pertaining to insurance.
I am making a specialty of Idle Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desire protection for their families
or their estates, or who wish to nuke absolutely safe and profit
able investment, to conferwith me before' giving their applica
tions to other agents. - -.Very

Qlossomancie is thescience of reading
the character Ljr tbe form and sise of
the tonsroe. The srnidina nrincinle are
as follows! If tho tongue is long. It is
an indication of frankness ; if it is short
of dissimulation; if It is broad, of ex
panslveness; if narrow, of concentra
tion. When tbe tongue la both long and
large. It Implies that the possessor is s
great gossip, frank to disagreeables and
thoughtless.
If tbe tongue be long and narrow, its
owner is only bslf frank, thinking
much as is ottered, bat not always ot
tering all that Is tbongbt If tba tongue
be short snd broad, there is promise of
plenty of gossip and falsehoods; it
talks a great deal, bot soys little of
whst is really thought If abort and
narrow, It indicate deep cunning snd
lyings Impenetrability and great pro
denes. This tongue belongs to those per
sons always ready to make mistakes,
but eager to inspire confidence.
So, then, not tbe physician alone la
to t guided by tba tongue, bot- before
yoo become intimate with any one ask
bim or ber to put out bis or ber tongne
that yon may be certain whether they
are to be trusted or not
