Too usefulness of the goat In clearing foul lands and the profitableness of the animal for Its hair, skin and even car cass are becoming pretty well under stood.' But the goat is valuable as dairy animal. ' If ' the cows, for In stance, are being used for supplying a city milk trade, the. keeping of goats for the home milK supply Would be an excellent policy. The goat TV'ili live where a cow would starve, an3, While It, like every domestic animal, will do best on good pasture, it win live ana yield milk on astonishingly little food, The animal and its nijlk are almost entirely exempt . from disease. The milk is more nutritious than that of the cow and agrees with stomachs that cow's milk freououtly offends. Tho animal requires only the cheapest kind of shelter, but it needs shelter from the storms and In winter,- If by reason of drought soiling . Is necessary, leaves vegetable refuse, peelings of the apple or potato, brend crusts or stale bread if they are sweet and clean, will be all the feed that is needed. All goats, however, will not eat the samp food, and the feeder will have to study the appetites of the Individual animal. Frequent feeding and a va llety of food In winter will be found beneficial. Roots, ollmenl. oats, corn (of the latter In the whole state the goat Is very fond), are proper feed, es peclally for the milking goat. Rock salt is greatly relished. The flavor of goat's milk" cannot be distinguished from that of cow's milk if It Is proper ly cared for. From three to four pints a day Is the average yield of a good milker. - The milk 13 so ' rich and . of suclj a character that Jn making pastry it will take the place of eggs, Eplto- mlst. , :y:-;yi;'y :'.v ' SIVA AND DEVI. The Fearful Devil of the Hindoo ' una III Frlelial Wife. Siva is both typical of destruction and of reproduction. But the latter at tribute was doubtless a later addition to the sum of his qualities. The orig inal conception of this deity was thai of a power delighting la destruction in the achievement of physical evil aud wrong and In hurling dt'ath and devas tation-upon the people and their-land. " He Is represented In the sacred books of the Hindoos as "the terrible destroy er.'r "the one who delights In the de-1 structlon of men." But In all this there Is no whisper as yet of any moral qual ities of evil. The conception Is entirely one of physical power, used with the - utmost malevolence and Injustice against men. '. Along with-his principal wife, who la variously called Devi, Durga, Uma and Kail, he Is portrayed as the Incar nation of physical evil, wrong, Injus tice or misfortune. : In the "Puranaa' Siva is described as wandering about surrounded by ghosts and goblins. In cbrlated. naked and with disheveled hair, covered with the ashes of a fu neral pile, ornamented with human skulls and bones, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying. Devi, bis con sort, is represented with a hideous and a terrible countenance streaming with blood, encircled with snakes, hung round with skulls and. human beads and In all respects resembling a furj rather than a goddess. The only pleas ure which Siva and Devi feel is when their altars are drenched with blood. which, of course, could not be shed without Abe destruction of some form of life. Westminster Review. ' " ' .

Charlotte Observer. fi The New York Sun, in commenting on the Southern Educational conference recently closed at Capon Springs, bewails tbe prevalence oi illiteracy and save; For instance,- the-average illiteracy among the native "white population of ID years oi age ana over in the six Aew Euirland states and the three ' states of flew lone, New Jersey and Pennsylva nia was only 2.81 in 1890, and among tbe colored population it was 21.71.

Dr. Curry, the president of the Southern educational conference, to say truly that the paramount question is the provision of adequate public schools, but that at present inefficient 'teachers and training and too short school terms make it impossiDie to accomplish too relorma tion which is needed among the whites as well as among the negroes It was urged by others that the national gov eminent should . lend aid in curing this evil or illiteracy; but, oi course, the dnty rests properly witn tne states alone, V e do not . like to see North Carolina leading the southern states, and, indeed. all tbe states of the Union, in the average of illiteracy among the white population. That figure of 23.10 over asrainst North Carolina is an , eye-sore to all who love tbe State and bave her welfare at heart. But we believe that the adoption of the constitutional amendment will be a stim ulus to education in North Carolina, end Mr, Aycock has' made the educational bearing of this measure his strongest ar gument for it. There is an educational rennaisance ahead for North Carolina. Bush tho Work. RaleigH Post. As the day of election approaches the enemies of good government in this State are becoming more deoperate in their enorts to mislead tbe well-meaning but ignorant voters. Tbeir efforts can and must be counteracted, and this by equal energy on the part of our people in personal explanations and appeals to tbe voters. We most earnestly and seriously urge such energy on our people; we urge it because it is necessary. Those only who are hoping for personal benefits in shape of some petty "office, obtained at tbe expense of the peace and in the degradation of their fellow citizens, are at work to oeieat toe amendment. All good citizens are either active for it. or will be when their minds ere disabused of the cruel and mischievous impressions made by bad men. Our force every good citizen must push the work of in forming the voters and securing his sup port of the cause which will assure hon est government and peacefol conditions hereafter, not only lor one class, but for all. . - Chinese News Less Favorable.

The conductor of a Brooklyn trolley car had a peculiar experience with an Italian one night . last week. The Italian wanted to ride with music thrown In for his 5 cents. A passenger described the incident: 1 "I boarded the car with six other pas sengers, including nn Italian, at the suburban end of the road on one of the late trips. The car had gone a short distance when the conductor began to collect thef ares. The Italian was on the rear seat, and his money was col lected last Everything went well for about half a mile, when the Italian Jumped to his . feet " and ; waved his hands at the conductor. Tho conductor went to the excited man and asked him what the trouble was. The Italian said: "'Me wanta my flva centa back.' "The conductor told him that he could not have the money. The Italian Insisted: " 'Every boda getta music for a flva centa; me no got.' . , "The conductor grasped the situation at once, and, seeing that he was ac cused of 'nickeling, started to clear himself. lie showed the Italian that there were seven passengers on the car and that that number of fares were registered. lie also explained why the Italian did not get any music for his nickeL lie said: - - ' "'WhHe collecting the fares in the front part of the car I rang up one fare too much, and If I rang up yours would be out 5 cents. "While this explanation was going oil the man from Italy was still shouting for his 'flva centa," and did not stop until he got off the car farther down, Btlll Jabbering at the conductor."

She passed on several yards without notic ing him, when It suddenly occurred to her that to a man, perhaps starving. wno uau asueu ureau sue uad given a stone.' or at least a stony stare. ,So she took 23 cents from her purse and, turning quickly, hurried after a man passing down tbe street. . "Here,' she said, touching him on the arm; "here is a quarter for you, and I bope you will pot buy liquor with It-" ' Before the astonished person to whom she had given the money could utter a word she had departed "I am spre I don't know why young women, should run after me on the Btreet to give me money," ejaculated the man,.'but I will spend it for drink Hlnce she ' particularly requested me not to." ; '' A few steps farther on he was met by a seedy looking fellow who began. "For God's sake, give," etc. - "Yes, my man, I think this was In tended for you. A young woman sent It to you, but you are not to spend It for, drink." And be passed on with a light heart, while the beggar tested tbe quarter suspiciously, casting an eager glance ahead at the nearest sa loon. New York Press. Am Oeeaa HoteL Some Idea of irhat a big hotel a transatlantic liner is may be gained from the following from Alnslie'a Mag azine; "Everything about the kitchen of a great steamship Is on a most elab orate scale.
