The Chriktmia spirit is a very beauti
ful thing, this fellowship with all th
world, and makes one a beart aing
Peace on ' earth, good will tow irde
men." While there are many in Mew
Bern who are beginning to enjoy this
spirit and are happy in pi inning for th'
happiness of others, yet there are a
large number of young mm and young
women, who, since eireemUances keep
ihem in office and o' her places of bus
iness from 9 a m to 6 p ra., with one
hour for lunch, have no time to do their
shopping or put their plana for Christ
mavinto execution. Since early shop
ping is being urged upon the people, it
might not oe amiss to urge those em'
pluyera who can do so to give one-half
of each Saturday betiire Chst tmis to
their officeercethat they may not only
take advantage of early shopping, but
that the employer may tllbs th i w his
appreciati n of the work done by those
under him. - This would indeed be show

ployees in their efforts to d i full duty

hmselvrs. " " '
Th?re is not a man or woman employ'

-Hew to Get Winter Egga.
At this time of year good poultry-
men are preparing for the winter, and
the supply of eggs marketed In the
cold 'weather largely depends on the
preparations tbntftare made now for
several reasons: , , ' ,
First, because the cock and hens
are now molting and require extra
care in tne way of feed, water and
grit. Boil corn and oats together and
feed once a day. Wheat and corn are
good foods, not cooked, for the bal
ance of the day. . . '
At thia time of year good, cold drink'
lng water, kept In vessels Is all right,
but when the weather la cold heat the
water. It will help to retain the body
heat of the hens.
Keep sand at all times In your poul
try yard. It la the cheapest and best
of grit. .v .. v. -
Bee that the broken panes of glass
are, replaced and the tracks all closed
before the winter etonns begin.
: Fresh nests should he made at least
once a month. The hens do not like
to leave their offerings In soiled neate
and often refuse to lay where lice are
lp the neata. Whitewash the. henhouse
and roosts twice a year and scatter
dry lime over It balance of time or
sprinkle with coal olL
If cleanliness la closely watched
there will be less danger f sick fowls.
Hew to Clean Woodwork.
The woodwork around my kitchen
sink became very dirty, and I wanted
It cleaned and rsvarnlsbed. -Tbls easy
method of getting the dirt and old var
nish off at the same time was told me
and proved to be a boon. The Instruc
tions were 'to. make a soft soap from
common yellow laundry soap and when
It was nearly cool to stir In tme table-
spoonful of concentrated lya and one-
half cupful of coal olL When the mix
ture was- like a heavy paste It was
ready to be spread over the woodwork
with a paint brush. I followed these
listructlons, letting the soap remain a
day and a half, and when I washed
It off with plenty of hot water was
pleased to find the dirt and old var
nish come with It, leaving the clean
wood exposed. When It waa dry I var
nished It, and I had a sweet, cleaa
kitchen again with very little labor.

Judge L mar has the backing of the
Southeastern Democrats snd Judge
Russell, only recently elevated from a
seat in tlie House of Representatives

will pick a Democrat to fill one of the
vacancies on the bench, and one of
these two men -it was believed today
would probably be the appointee.
It is known that Senator Uristow, of
Kansas, and other progressives in the
Senate would bitterly oppose Pollock
and as his home is in Bristol's State,
it is not thought likely that be will be
chosen. The progressives slso would
oppose the confirmation of Sutherland.

the result t bo a bill to bo framed by
Mr. Mann embodying the- legislation
deemed necessary.
Mr. Mann had a conference with the
President Saturday. The President has
recommended a charge of one dollar a
net ton. It is estimated that this will
bring in a revenue at first of $7,000,000
a year, while the running expenses of
the canal would be $3,000,000 a year.
The surplus of $4,000,000 a year
would not pay the interest ou the canal
investment and Mr. Mann appeared U
day to think that a higher rate would
have to be charged. He will consult
further with the President next week.
