tarrhal affections of the kidneys and

The effects of your "Nolandine" in

i.igthe use of that mineral.
I very cheerfully recommend your

its use, that it must become a stand
ard family medicine.
I am not alone in the very high esti

it will be universally known and be, as
it should be, the means of taking the
place of mineral preparations for that
class of diseases in which it has prov

Nolandine.- Some time ago there
was a notice of the above mentioned
in the local columns of the Judex ,
which attracted rny attention. Altera
conference with one of the proprietors
I procured a bottle cf "Nolandine,"
and received so much benefit from it;
use that I tried a second one, and am
now using the thiol. Having suffert d
indescribable tortures for more than
forty years from atorpid liverlhis medi
cine has afforded me more relief, than
anything I have ever used. A desiie

Dyspepsia.
I have forthelast twelve years been
afflicted with that terrible disease, dys
pepsia; all the remedies, and I have
taken many, only gave partial relief.
About tw o years ago I took your "No-
Aandine"; since then my health has
ec u and - ; now as good asitever was.
Can cat in moderation now food that
two years ago I dared not touch. At the
same time I was afflicted with a disease,
I believe, of the skin ; for the last fif
teen years it has been a plague to me.
It invariably made its appearance in
February anil lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until I
v.is npcl led to scratch, then a little
1 , not at large as a pin's head,
v I appear, and then my misery
meuced. I have laid many a cold
..ter's night without any covering un
til I could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. I have not
felt it since taking your valuable "No
landine," which was taken for dyspep
sia, and I believe that it has cured me
of that plague. I write tL8 to show you
I have been cured by your valua'jle
"Nolandine," in valuable to me. I owe
you many thanks. I do not write this
for publication, but if you think it may
benefit any of our fellow-men similarly
afflicted, you may use it as you think
proper. Very respectfully,

I am indebted for this restoration. J
would also state, in this connection, that
during the several years of my sickness
I tried many remedies, all of which
proved to be entirely worthless In my

TEE SSTTL'S 27X2.
LEGEND OF SUSSEX.
A huge cleft in th "Downs," a well
known range of hills on the Sussex coast,
England. "The Dyke" is a favorite
resort of visitors to Brighton. Its origin
Is unknown, but the country folk believe
in the following legend, or something
like it:
The monks of old, so good and so bold,
Had driven the devil from every strong
hold Upon the Sussex downs;
Had built churches sad chapels all over
the "weald,"
And, in short, had most terribly barrassed
"thecfaield"
Who hated their shaven crowns.
The folks were so pious Old Nick in
disgrace
Had fled and was nevermore seen in tire
place, 9
For he feared the monks, "the measly
old skunks,"
(That's what Nicholas called them.) Els'd
pack up their trunks,
If be had bis own way, aud to Jericho
send them.
Or take other steps that should speedily
end them ;
For they spoiled his trade,
Which of late was so bad that Old Nick,
with a sigh.
Said he plainly saw ruin would come by
and by
If ttae monks still stayed
And the folks remained pious. He wished
a reaction
Would set in and split up thii monastic
faction,
Do away with protection, establish free
trade
All this Nicholas hoped, for I can't say
he prayed;
But he stormed snd he blustered, he
cursed and he swore
His imps said they'd ne'er heard such
language before
Yet, while they agreed 'twas a serious
case,
Suggested "he need not get black in the
face,''
Though they did not suppose he would
ever be sainted,
Still "the devil is never so black as he's
painted :"
To give way to passion like tbt might
cause scandal.
And for unkind remarks in the press
give a handle.
The advice wag so good the fiend calmed
down instanter,
And ceased to anathematize, swear, and
to rant, or
Use language at all unbecoming las
si soon
Not even a "bust it" or mild "-bothera-
Hell be here la sv jlrfy, and se will the
squire.
They always were cronies. But, Beelz
bub, pray
Put the. whisky and gin bottles out of
their wsy."
Then shouldering his spade and his
mattock Old Nick
Started off at a trot for he had to be
quick.
He at once got to work at "a deuce" of a
rate,
And soon would have finished his task
had not fate
At that moment decreed that the noise
which he made,
In his frantio exertions, with mattock
and spade
Should wake an old woman who lived
near the spot,
Who was frightened and jumped out of
bed 'like a ahot,"
And taking a rushlight to show her the
way
Hobbled off to the place, found "the
devil to pay"
With a vengeance, for terrible havoc was
played
By that mischievous fiend with his magi
cal spade .
But who was the culprit now puzzled the
dame
For the fiend's guilty conscience mistook
the slight flame
Of the oil woman's rushlight for beams
of the sun,
And taking for granted the day had
begun
Satan packed up his traps and weut off at
a run,
Nor stopped till he arrived at old Erebus'
portal
For once in his life he'd been scared by a
mortal.
MORAL.
Never make a great clatter about a small
matter,
Don't give way to passion, for people will
chatter;
Good temper pays best as a general rule,
For you can't transact business unless
you are cool.
And when you retire to your chamber at
night
Make sure you have means ior obtaining
a light;
Don't do tricks that won't bear the full
light of the day,
Or a rushlight may startle and scare you
away.
I. Kennakd.
Bare Instance of Self-Denial,
In the laat German war, a Cap
tain of cavalry was commanded to
go foraging. He set oat at the
head of his company, going to that
section which was assigned him.
It was a secluded valley, where
nothing could be seen save woods.
fl perceived at the' door of an
humble oabin an old hermit, with
white beard. ."My father,'' said the
officer, "show me a field where I
can forage my horses t"
"Directly," said the hermit.
This good old man, placing him
self at their head, recrossed the
valley. After a quarter of an hour's
march, they found a beautiful
held of barley. -'This is what I
want," said the Captain. " Wait a
moment," said his coudactor; "you
shall be satisfied." They continued
to march, and arrived about a
quarter of a mile further, at anoth
er field of barley. The troops im
mediately dismounted reaped the
grain, placed it upon their croups,
and remounted. Tbe cavalry offi
cer then said to bis guide: "My
father, you have made us go too
far unnecessarily the first field was
better than this." ''That is true,
sir," replied the old man, "bat it
was not mine." Ex.

And aat down quite calmly the ca&e to

(One can't lay bis plans if he "gets in a

With s wink of his eye and a slap on his
thigh,
"Ha! ha! ha!" laughed Old Nick, "I

The scholar spake, as one who knows
Whereof he speaketh: "Truth is old
Time's band has touched his head with
snows ;
The heart of Truth is stern and cold.
The rude world offers only scoffs and
jeers;
And sore of spirit Truth drags out his ;
years."
Whereat the poet sweetly smiled :
"Nay, thou art wrong, I found the
Truth
In semblance of a little child,
Endowed with everlasting youth ;
And what I heard was lisped with child
ish tongue,
The world Is growing old but Truth is
young."
Flavel Scott Mines,
Population of indent Borne.
After carefully examining all the
data we have, all the statements of
various ancient writere who allude
to it, and all the iects which seem
to bear on the question, I am con
vinced that I am rather understat
than overstating tbe poplation ol
ancient Kome when I estimate it
at 4,000,000. It is much more
probably tb.u it wa grtater than
that it was less. DeQuincey also
estimates the population of Kome
at -4,000,000. I will cite only one
fact, and then leave the question.
The Circus Maximus was construct
ed to hold 250,000, or, according to
Victor, at a later period probably,
385,000 spectators.
Taking the smaller number, then,
it would seat one in sixteen of all
the inhabitants if there were
4,000,000. Bat as one-half the
population was composed of slaves,
who must be struck out of these
spectators, when the circus was
built there would be accommoda
tion then for one in eight ot the
total population, excluding slaves.
Reducing again tbe number one
half by striking out the women,
there would be room for one in
four.
Again, striking the young chil
dren, and the old men, and sick
anc impotent, you would have
accommodation for nearly the
whole popultion. Is it possible to
believe that the Romans contructed
a circus to hold tho entire popula
tion of Borne capable of going to it!
for such must have been the case
were there onle 4,000,000 of Inhab
itants. But suppose there were'
only 4,000,000 inhabitants, it is
plain from tbe mere figures that it
would never have been possible to
half fill the circus. Blackwood's
Magazine j
Whatever is coming there is but
one way to meet it to go straight

Edinburgh and Castle.
Edinburgh, the capital ol Scot
land, occupies a picturesque situa
on a cluster of eminences, at a
distance of about a mile and a
half from the Firth of Forth. From
this position, as well as from its
literary fame, it takes the, title,
"Modern Athens."
The Castle, which crowns the
highest point in tho city, was
undoubtedly built first, a town
gradually forming on the top and
sides oi the ridge, which slopes
downward to the east. The view
from the summit of the Castle
(built on rocks which are 437 feet
above sea level), is almost "beyond
compare."
In front ot it the espianade s (a
clear space between Castle Hill and
the town), which was once a place
for public executions, and took its
present shape in 1753. On one
side of it stands a monumental
cross in memory of some of the
Highlanders who fought for their
country daring the Indian mutiny.
Near the Castle is a vaulted arch
way, showing traces, within the
grooves, of ancient portcullises and
massive gates. At a higher sum
mit are situated the commanding
officer's quarters-
On the ground floor, at the south
east corner, is Queen Mary's Room,
in which James VI. was born in
156G, and from the window of which
he was let down in a basket
when he was about a week old, this
being done for fear the enemies of
his family might seek him out and
murder him. The baby king was
gotton safely down to the street
below, and was taken to Stilling
CasiK. where lie could be guarded
much better.
On the east side of the palace
; yard is the Crown Room, where
i the most precious of the ancient
jewels the regalia are kept, to
gether with the crown, sceptre,
sword of state and Lord Treasurer's
I silver rod of office.
On one side -of the citadel is
Half Moon Battery, connected with
Calton Hill, a lofty eminence sur
mounted Dy Lord JNelson's monu
maent, by electric apparatus, which
every day, when the clock strikes
1 on Calton Hill, discharges a gun
at the Castle, which is called the
1 o clock time gun. Two other
points of interest about the Castle
are St. Margaret's Chapel and,
upon the highest rock, the King's
Bastion where still stands the
frightful-looking Mons Meg Can
uon, into which a man can crawl
and lie down. This immense gun
onrst in 10-;, whilst a salate was
being fired in honor of the Duke of
York. Some of the large cannon
balls still remain beside it.
Imagine the magnificent view
from tbe highest part of the Castle!
On one side is the Firth of Forth,
with ships riding upon it, all sails
set for the open sea, and which,
distant twenty miles or more, look
like little docks swimming to and
fro and on the other side Old and
New Edinburgh. Detroit Free

Very careful calculations show
j that daring the ending September
30th, 1888, 53,317 pounds of butter
were brought to Raleigh from points
outside of the State. Nearly
twenty-seven tons were thus im
ported into one city in a year
There must have been during tbe
year hundreds of tons bought by
our people from without the State
There is great need for home pro
jduction to supply our own de
mands. Tbe Experiment Station
I proposes to foster the dairy in
dnstry and aid in its development
so we will not need to purchase
I from abroad. Of the above amoaut
135,060 pounds were used herein
.the fall and winter months, 18,257
! pounds in the spring and summer
I months. By the aid of ensilage it
I will be possible to feed economi

Strawbeiries at N. J. Agricultural
Experiment fetation.
Every spring the grower of small
; fruit is overruu with circular pic-
; ture describing wonderful straw
i berries, which the disseminators
! promise will supersede all others
now grown. Nine tenths of these
new berries are either old sorts re
named or if new possess no features
entitling them to prominence over
older sorts. But to ascertain these
facts the grower is involved in
much expense, irritation and loss
of time. The Experiment Station
are intended to do this for him and
then tell him the exact truth so far
as his stctiou is concerned. This
we are endeavoring to do at the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
periment Station at Raleigh. We
are endeavoring to test all, old
and new, under like conditions of
soil and climate, and not only this
but we are growing from seed
thousands of strawberry plants in
the hope of producing a variety
better suited to our State than
those now grown. We want the
active co-operation of every fruit
grower in the State, and want them
to question us on every matter of
interest in their culture. Every
careful grower learns facts of inter
est and all have their special diffi
culties. W. F. Massey, Horticulturist.
MAP OUT

A six year old boy wrote his first
composition on water: "Water is
good to drink, to bathe in, and to
skate on. When I was a little baby
the nurse used to wash me every
morning in water. I have been
told the iDjuns wash themselves
but once in ten years. I wish I
was an Injun."
The man who starts in pursuit
of fortune without carefully sur
veying the ground and laying
down his line of march hefore
hand is a reckless Absalom, who
is pretty sure to be caught by
the "wait-a-bit thorns of specu
lation, and left hopelessly strug
gling in their midst, a ridiculous
spectacle to all right-thinking
men.
Map out your course; young
man, before you set forth on
your business journey. While
you are yet out of the tumult
and turmoil of the busy world
adopt a set of principles. Let
them be such as your conscience
and your common sense approve.
Then fashion a code of laws for
your future government rules
of conduct, based on the duties
you owe to God; to your
neighbor and yourself.
Don't wait until you are
assailed by temptation or beset
with difficulties to determine
what you shall do in either
dilemma. Determine in advance
what ought to be done under
certain circumstances, and when
they occur do it. You are better
qualified to judge rightly what
is just and prudent in any
contingency before the contin
gency is upon you, than you can
be in the moment or difficulty.
In v'our trouble, don't trust to
the impulse of the moment.
Impulse is a blind guide in
serious matters. Hfjcr oacic to
yovr cnart. i his has been tne
practice of wise and go id men
from time immemorial.
Experience is no doubt a
capital teacher, but her lessons
are bitter; and if you begin life
with a cool head, an honest
purpose, a dauntless spirit and
fixed principles and rules of
conduct of the right kind, you
yvill be all the more likely to
escape the lash or that hard
task-mistress. JLar j'our course
straight in the beginning, and
stick to it as closely as you can
in storm ana sunsnme. rrovi
dence is the underwriter for
those who sail in this "sea of
troubles.' by the chart of honor
and the compass of prudence,
and even if blown on the rocks

LADIES' NAMES.
Mary, the commonest of all
names given to woman is yet
one of the sweetest. Byron
assures us that he had an abso
lute passion for it. It signifies,
exalted; Maria and Marie the
latter French are only other
forms of Mary, and have the
same meaning. Martha signi
fies bitterness. Anne, Anna,
Hannah and probably Nancy
are from tbe same source, and
signify kind or gracious; Ellen
was originally Helen, the Latin
being Helena, and the French
Helene the meaning being
according to some, alluring
and according to others, one
who pities. Jane signifies the
same as Anna, Sarah or Sally, a
princess, and the morning star.u
Susan, a lily; Rebecca, plump:
Lucy, brightness of aspect;
Louisa or Louise, one who pro-J
