"I5ehold!" he cried, "Heygendorf has removed from me the hairs. He has done it with the nail scissor of Victor!" "I might have nmle bd-better work of it with a straight pair of scissors," said Heygendorf, highly pleased. "Alphonse is cut up be cause we haven't any looking-glass. It seems a little jagged, doesn't it.'" he asked, with another chuckle, as he rubbed his hand over the young s'er's knobby head. "You may have to laugh on the otherside of your mouth," add Car- ling.

"You might know it was frizzles Wiat ailed him; any boy would be contrary with p p-pounds of hot, crinkly hair on him" said Heygen dorf, as we started to walk up the mountain road to the vineyard a mile distant.' We had the perfume of ripened grapes coining to us all along the way, and when at last we climbed the fence we found that the grapes were nearly bursting on the Tow vines. Alphonse persuaded Heygendorf t cut off two great bunches of red Tokays, each over a foot long, and weighing nearly four pouuds. Tut ting a bunch on each end of a short redwood cane Carling had made for him, he balanced them over his right shoulder, and then meandered about pretending to sell us grapes. When we left the vineyard Carling tried to make him drop this contrivance, for he knew he would get tired car rying it; but Alphouse refused ab solutely. We Btopped at the house of the vineyard owner fr our mail. The one letter was for master Alphonse Dupont. He ton it open and read it eagerly. "It is from the adorable Claire!" lit said. "Who's Claire?" we asked. "My sister, my good elder sister; - she and my maman are iu Santa Cruz. If I am homesick, Yictor must send me there to them." 'Well, you are homesick, arn't you?" asked Carling hopefully. Alphonse did not reply. "We are in the Santa Cruz moun tains," he said thoughtfully; "is it the long promenade to the town of Santa Cruz?" "Hather; m-m-my goodness!" Hey gendorf answered. The man who owned the vineyard was laughing. "You're the most curious looking little chap that has camped here in a long time," he said finally. "Have you the mirrow?" asked Alphonse excitedly.

Atlanta, (Ja., Nov. 51. An im portant meeting of cotton growers representing several States took place in Atlanta today. They were called h'-re. to consider a plan recently sug gested by .). T. Koddey, a cotton broker of New York, for controlling the price of cotton. The meeting was presided over by He'Ctor I), l.ane, Commissioner of Agriculture of Ala bama. After some discussion the plan, as announceil by Mr. Koddev was on motion recommended, Chair man Lane and one or two others dis 3e iting. A committee was appointed consisting of J. T. Koddey, II. S. Lipscomb, of South Carolina, and J. E. .Nunnally, of (ieorgia, to call county and State conventions for the election of delegates loan inter-State convention to be held at a time and place agreed upon by the committee. Mr. Koddey's plan, aa explained by him, is to form a combination of the cotton growers with a capital of s.M),UUO,00O or 100,000,000. Each cotton producer is to contribute one bale out of every lire made to the trust. Estimating the crop ac eight million bales, this plan would stock the trust with I.COO.000 bales, the ! withdrawal of which from the mar-1 led the nations of the old world to ket, it is urged, will appreciate the : Plant these Cim?3 on the new con price x." per cent. Cue general of-! tinent Ia order to make the ven" iice is proposed with branch offices i ture remunerative, the colonies were and warehouses at all cotton points. 1 The gins in every county are to be ! listed and if possible controlled so as to know the exact production and to regulate the supply of cotton. In regard to the management of the company; it is to have one gener al or head office, say in New York or j New Orleans, with two general di rectors from each cotton-growing State, with one director from each county in that State, and have sub offices in all the principal cities and towns in the different States to con trol the local cotton, all to be con trolled by the geneial or head office; to have either a special insurance company organized or the present companies brought to a lower rate: company warehouse receipts to be issued with insurance policies and if the farmer neetls money let the company advance live eights or two thirds of the value of his warehouse receipts. A tOOL. POLICY. I. m hid is Mortgaging liulu Sam's Property to Foreign Capitalist.. f Atlanta Daily Press.) The Kothschiids have telegraph eel to their democratic friends on Wall Street (the Balmonts) to buy them some of the new bonds. Of course The Kothschiids have mortgages upon all other nations of the world, and why should the United States be slighted? The Clevelaud cuckoos are melo dious in their delight over the fact that the London bankers are so ready to invest their money in American bonds. Is there a fool on this planet who does not know that an untaxed mor tgage upon th whole United States is geod security? Is it a thing to be glad about when we see the Kothschiids getting their ravenous clutches fastened upon every acre of land and every pound of produce in the Union? A bond is simply a statutory lien, or mortgage, placed by the govern ment upon all property of all the people. Are we such hopeless idiots aa to take pleasure in knowing that Car lisle and Cleveland are mortgaging our property, and that the English bankers are buying up the papers against us?

The currency used by the tirst r;lnies and jila'ntations was strictly ,,f foreign importation. Hutch, puritan, and Cavilier, each brought with them to this continent not only the manners and customs of their native lands, but a limited supply of stock, irrain and seei's, for use and , , ' "! i r cultivation, hach ship load of eini- t , , . ... , , ., "rants brought with it not onlv the ? . ,,. ,..i,:u , .iTi:,..i Iii'aiu and brawn wnicn was ueslineu to fouI)U lhitj r(Jat nation, but those ol1(.r neceasary adjuncts to iirogrcss and success implements of trade and agriculture. Each sekcted such as he could afford or obtain, and naturally chose those of his own country. In like manner these pio neers "brought with them to their new homes a small supply of curreu cv. i It -cause of this each colony pos j sessed a currency of its own, and history notes that the early fathers used a mixture of English, Dutch, and Spanish money iu their commer cial transactions. This money was entirely of gold and silver. It must be lemembercd that neither gold or silver was mined to any considerable extent iu what is known as the United State?, except small amounts in Ceorgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and a few other Sothem states, until the discovery of gold in California in 1848 This fact placed the early settlers intirely dependent upon the mother countries, not only for the amount, but the kind of money they should make use of. The English Colonies were for bidden by royal proclamation at tn early period of their existence to coin any money whatever. It was as well understood then as now "that those who own the money rule the people." The parent governments looked upon ttiese Colonies as matters of pure business speculation, and a safe place to send turbulent and uneasy citizens. It was a desire for Sam aml not co Deiter manKinu mat governed wim tne most despotic with the most vigor, mis unwarranted and un generous treatment finally led to revo lution and ultimately to indepn denc. As the Colonies increased in numbers the resorces of the country became more developed; the demand for a medium of exchange became verjr great and the want of it very oppressive, liaing denied the right to coin, and at the same time being nearly destitute of the metal out of which money was coined, the only possible manner in which these early settlers could obtain money was by exchanging their products for the money of the mother countaries. It is needless to say that currency soon became very Bcarce. In 1G30 Gov. Winthrop writes to his son, then in England, to bring him not less than 150 pounds ster liug. In fact, one of the most diffi cult problems which those early pio neers had to content with was the question of currency. This evil con tinued to increase until all business became stagnant, and some action for some relief became necessary. Yarious expedients were resorted to in order to biidge over this diffi culty, some of which appear rather curious in the light of the present day. Parties who in their exploring expeditions had penetrated as far as Long Island Sound, found the coast tribes using a circulating medium of their own. This consisted of two kinds of beads, white and black. The white beads were made from the end of a periwinkle shell and the black from the black portion of the clam 'shell. These beads were pol ished, arranged in strings or belts, and used as ornaments. In business transactions one black bead was worth two white ones. This was called "wampum, trr peag money. This kind of moneys was made legal- tender in Massachusetts and other New England Colonies. Six white beads equalled one penny, aud three black beads one penny. At one time in the history of the" older Colonies musket balls was used as legal tender at a farthing each. Yirginia and Maryland made to bacco a legal tender. Kice in the Carolinas, and codfish and beaver skins in many of the Xew England Colonies were in like oepts. The1 history of the world proves that many other substances have been usd as money besides silver and gold. Sparta used iron made brittle :il g- - i wim vinegar, cowrie snens were used in Africa, leather in Carthage and Kussia, oxen at the time of Ilomer, slaves in New Guinea. In and loaned nionvy.

It be came known in England as the Tow er iourid, as the Tower wa? th place vvhvie the principle minting was done for the kingdom. This lower pound received its name dur ing the tirst years of the reign of Edward III. It continued until the time of Henry VIII, by whom it was abolished, and the. pound Troy was established in its slead. The pound Xroy was heavier by three-quarters of an ounce than the Tower pound, for which it was th? substitute. The length of the King's arm, it is said, used to be the standaul for the yard measure. It is also said that these ancient P.ritanis selected twenty-four kernels of wheat from the middle of the head, or ear as thev railed it, and the combined j weight of these twenty-four kernels made the pennyweight of the Tower pound. Subsequently in the Tien pound, which was more weightv, thirty-two grains were divided into twenty-four parts, each representing the weight of one and one-third of the twenty-four original grains of the Tower pound. This gives us the weight of the original pound Troy, or, as it came to be known soon after and is known at the pres ent time, the pound sterling of Eng land, the name sterling being given it on account of the accuracy ot its weight and honesty of its alloy. From this it will be seen that what is called the poui.d sterling of Eng land was originally one Trov pound of standard silver consisting of eleven onces, two pennyweights of line silver, and eighteen pennyweights of alloy, or 0,700 grains of standard silver. It is said that the fineness of the silver coins of England re m lined unchanged from the time of Henry II to the present, excepting some twenty years during the latter part of the reign of Henry V 1 1 L and the first. years ef Edward YJ, a period of more than 700 years. It is n ne tin? less true that the present pound sterling represents but l,y;'o'. grains of standard silver, instead ef 5, TOO grains, an it diel iu the time of Henry II. The history of the Span ish milled dollar, used so extensiely by our early fathers, and from which we derive ovj;n silver d llar, cannot be so clearly traceel. The dol'ar sjmbol, is saiel to bed-rind from the t.vo pillars of Hercules, one of the oldest symbols known to our race. It was first placed upon coins by Charles Y, Emperor of Germauy, who, being also King of Spain, used them in that relation to support his escutcheon, anel also placed them in the device on the old Spanish pillar dollar. This dollar was of the val ue of fifty-four p3nce Eaglish money sterling, aud was afterwarel adoptee1, as the unit of our own American money. The Spanish milled dollar was so called because the edge was "milled," sereateel or stamped. Although there were no coins minted iu England called dollars, yet there is good reason to believe that many foreign coins, of different valuers, from various outside nations, were circulating there under the common name of dollars previous to 1000. The word dollar is said to CJme from the name given a silver CDin, minteel in a remote valley of Bohemia in 1518, called schiickten thaler. This word thaler has been corrupted into our word dollar. The status of the elollar was de fined iu 1704 by Queen Anne3, in a royal proclamation, placing its value at fifty-four pence sterling. Gold coin was first introduced iuto Eng lish coinage by Henry III. The metal wa3 tweuty-four carut3 line, of pure gold. It remained so until Edward III, when a standard of twenty-three carats, three and one half grains of fine gold, and one half grain of alloy took its place. The carat is a bean, the fruit of an Abyssinian tree called Kuara. This bean varies but atritle weight after being gathered. It seems to have been used in the earliest ages as a weight for gold. In India it is said to be still in use to weigh diamonds. Silver was the unit of the measure of values in England as in Home before and America since until 1873. Gold was the ratio as it was here previous to the demonetiza tion of silver. (To be continued in next issue.) Iloward F. Junes for Engrossing Clerk. Advertisement.

The Experiment Station is investigat ing the question whether flowering bulbs for commercial purposes can be euccessf ully grown in this state. A bul letin (107) has just been issued describ ing the propagation of a good many va rieties of bulbs, as well as the adapta bility of their growth to the Boils of the central a nd eastern sections. The bulletin is illustrated with 23 life size cuts of bulbs grown at the Station. The growing of the bulbs require skill and experience, and it is not advisable for any one not possessing these to at tempt it. If the Station demonstrates that some of our soils are suitable a lartr industry may be built up in out midst, and thousands of dollars annu ally will be brought to the state that otherwise would go abroad to Europ for import orders.

The ihtTereiic arise from the prepotency of the thoroughbred male derived from generation of well fist and well bred ancestor. Thefcamo is true of neat stock, of hrtrxev of hwine. It is often the ease tl:at the lirst cross from a thoroughbred sire produces an animal which for appear ance and product ion of mcnt or tni.it hi as pro:itatle as though thoroughbred itself. The second und third ertss from the i lire bred sire, or, better, an other of the same breed, lieeomesfor all iiractieal purpose as c-.d us the pure ree.l except for breedintr. In a line of such breeditij as this fat ten the males for market as earlv a jmssibie; whether as Iambs or yearling mutton, or veal and beef. Those who have not t ried a thoroughbred sire on common stin k W'll tm Weil pleased with the resuit, esKvia!lv if they practice a rational system of feeding their st.n k. Well-bred stock can be easily reduced in production by careless or poor feed ing, sufficient to more than counter balance the gain in breeding. It Would be preferable to feed natives well than to grade up and lose the ben etit of it by poor fccUing. l'.nt let the advance be in both breeding and feed ing, and good results will follow. Frank 11. Emery, Agriculturist, N. O. Experiment Station. national Stock roediiig. The Experiment Station is sending out a very valuable bulletin. (No. Jixii entitled Rational Stock Feeding." From the preface it is stated that there are in North Carolina a total of -2.410,-570 head of stock of all kinds, vail ed at p2050.O.VJ, accor ding to the State Aud itor's last report. A saving in cost of feeding, placed as low as 15 cents per mouth, would amount to over Sl.ooO.uoo annually. T'.iis publication of the Sta tion seeks to show how this saving c:in be effected. The contents embrace the subjects of the composition aud diges tibility of food with definition of terms used, feeding standards and how stock rations can lie calculated, and some rations fed by practical feeders in the state and others recommended for trial. Among these breeders are "aptain l. 1. Williamson, W. E Kennedy, Holt .v Ilomewood, Elias Carr. Jr., )r. V. It. Capehart, Ilackburn A- WilUtts, aud Baron d'Alinge, of the Kiltmore estate, all giving valuable exiicriences. The information given in this publication can not be gotten flsewhere, and all farmers are advised to send for a copy. It is supplied free, as are all publica tions of the Station. Hear Calves Only 1 roni the Kent Cowa. Where a number of cows are milked it will alwa3-s b noticed that some one is the best of the lot as to the amount of milk produced, or the length of prof itable How, or perhaps in product i-.m of butter. A farmer can probably point out the best cow in the he-d, but if lie were asked to jwiint out ht r decendants among the young stock, they might be found few and far below in appearance what might be expected from the dam. or grand-dam. Further inquiry might bring out the information that no male was kept for service on the farm. Also that no good sire could lie procured, or that it was too far, or the service fee was too high where a desirable sire was kept. This is a short-sighted policy, and one which the progressive farmer will avoid. Don't use the nearest scrub when time is pressing, but keep a male in your own barn, selected especially to supply the kind of animals you want to have and such as you cmi take pride in showing your frinds. The best way is to patronie the best sires within reach, and go with cash in hand. All calves from the poorest cows should be killed at once and may be fed out to fowls. Unless you have a surplus of milk and cannot make a good use of it in some other way dc not grow up veal calves. Where milk will sell for a fair price the calf will soon eat its head off. Better sell it tb the hens for eggs and chicks. F. K. Emery, Agricul turist, N. C. Experiment Station. Quefttlomfl and Replies. The Station will be glad to extend its usefulness by answering as far as pos sible questions on agriculturial topics sent by any one in North Carolina who may desire to ask for information. Ad dress all questions to the N. C. Agri cultural Experiment Station, lialeigh, N. C. Replies will be written as early as possible by the member of the Sta tion staff most competent to do so, and. when of general interest, they will also appear in these columns. The Station desires in this way to enlarge its sphere of usefulness and render immediate as sistance to practical farmers. ToTiay Grapes. Will the Tokay Rrape vine thrive In this tnte? If It has not been a success, upon what vine would you advise crafting it!' W. 1. S., Southern Pines, X. C. (Answered by V. F. Massey, Horticulturist. N. C. Experiment Station.) The Tokay grapos (white and flame colored) belong to Vitis Vinifera, none of which have been perfectly successful in the United States east of the Sierra Nevada, except to some extent in Ari Eona and New Mexico. The phvlloxera insect destroys their roots, and they are very subject to at tacks of mildew. Our native grapes being a "survival of the fittest." resist the phylloxera. There is sorue hope that now we understand the cause of the failure of the Vinifera section of grapes, we can overcome the difiiculty by grafting them on roots of our strongest growing natives, and bv the use of spraying mttures keep down the mildew and succeed in ripening the fruit It is well worth trying and our Station will do something in this line another year. TIIKY AKK TOO 1IOV. There are many American citizens who are too busy to think about the country's needs or perils. One is "too busy" with something, another is "too busy" with nothing. One is "too busy" chasing popu larity with the ignorant. Another id "too busy" erecting a fabric of wealth that may dissolve in a day. Some are "too busy" giving circu lation to lies and misinformation. Some are "too busy" raising corn and hogs to care what becomes of other men's liberties. Others are "too busy" thinking about dead issues and the dead past to learn anyhing about the perilous present And last, but not least, some are "too busy" trying to save souls for the next world, and making co effort to save them in this.
