CHARLOTTE TO COME. (Charlotte Clironicle ) In forming the country aroucd Charlotte it eeerus that nature, from the beginning, intended that Char lotte should always he the Queen city and be Able at all times to as sert anrt maintain hr independence. Not only little things the things that in ail timei and places make men and cities but great resource?, even beyon 1 any estimation, have been placed in easy access. Hut the one of these resource?, and probably the greatest single one is now in a great scheitae that will ere long materialize, and our industrial progress he given an im petus that will know no check this side the falling of the curtain on the nineteenth contury. Men, inone', brains ! That is what i-i back of it, and iu them Char lotte can hope for the end to be brought about . Up where the beautiful Catawba rivti svinds its way around the hills tiitwetn Iredell and Citawba, and Meckleulmrg and Lincoln counties it makes a great bend , and each little ripple is chased by another over its pebbly Led on its downward ccarsetothe sea. This bend has considerable fall and is known as the Ilorse-S'ioe liend. It is arout eleven miles around, but at its clos est points the river banks come with in two miles of themselves. The objact now i3 to cut a channel through at this point and give two miles the benefit of nine miles fall. The cost of this canal would not b very great. The old river would then have enough power to turn the machinery of New England. Her swift current would be har nessed and the hum t-f macninery would bein with every mad rush the water made toward the wheel. A- I great wire would be attached to a j dynamo and Charlotte would have flectricity so eboap ihst it would be more of a honanzi than natural gip. Charlolte'd light would be made and her street cars anil factories ran by this natural power. Not only that, but industries would spring op all along the line. All a manufacturer would have to do would be to erct his plant and at tach his wire to the main line, and begin operations. The industrial limn of the Merrimac would be made the hum of the Catawba, anO Char lotte Mid Mecklenburg would be made the K len of manufacture. r.OM SUMPTION CURED.

History of the Umbrella. ITS EXACT OKIOIX IS UNKNOWN, BUT IT IS VKKY ANCIENT. (Dish Times.) No one knows whether the um brella was oiiginally used as a de feuse against ram or as a screen from the sun, but it seems probable that the lirst umbrellas were suu shades. In countries where very lit tle clothing is worn-rain does not make much diliereuce, but the sun is a power. Why sliould't the palm leaf be the first sunshade, with its ribs and handles to order? It hints at the umbrella as well as the fan. Travelers among the Amos of Japan often make temporary suu shades of gigautic dock leave?, which are sometimes six feet high, large enough for an account of Gul liver. The umbrella has a very great antiquity. The word itself means a --little shadow," hhowing that it was named for its protection from the sun in this ease. Horace savs : -Among the military standards the sun beholds an Egyptian canopy." On coins and in the rock carvings of the ancients the umbrella often shows its iamiliar lorm. This goes to prove that Jouas Ilaaway did not invent the umbrella, but ha saw the value of the eastern sunshade, and soon it became the fashion to carry this article of appaiel. There must be a great difference between the umbrella of the eighteenth century and the modern steel-ribbed, bilk covered slender article which it is regaided as a misfortune to get wet. The desideratum at present is a poitable umbrella. There is a lor tuue for a man who invents a really good umbrella which can be stowed in a valise or truuk. There is an unpatented Coieau umbrella that may till the bill. When it begius to jain the picturesque and stately Coreau swell reaches into his sleeve aud produces a folder, oiled-paper affair resembling a fan. ibis is spiead ami set over the hat Jike an extinguisher, and is kept iu place by two striugs held under the chin. If is not very large, but anything that will cover a Corean hat will keep the rain from a Corean. My. wife has used liraycrotine for headache with the best imagic ahle result'1.

(Scleced,) J In taking your place at the tabl ,J tfy to take an casr pohioD. Sit neither too clse nor too fr away from tbe table ; without lolling, lean ln-2 back, drumming or any other un couth action. Unfold yonr napkin and lay :n your lap. Kit soap with jour ppoon , holding & puce of bread in your left ban1, aod break IT a morsel d- not bite it. Cut your food with your knife, but use jour fork to convey it to tbe month un der no circamstinces, permitting an exception to thU role - If the fork can be stock into each piece of fo1, it may be gracefully used with the lift hand otherwise cut evervthiDg into small piece-, and take tbe fork in the riiiht hand. I have seen per sons eating rice, or similar article', holding the fork on the left; it is prelTcrablc to substituting the knife on the right, but the effect is bad. Drink from Ue cup, not the sau cer; if your tea or ctdTee is loo hot wait until it cools. Fegs should be featen from the shell?, (clipping off a a little of the larger end). The egg cup is to hold tbe shell, not Ms con tents. When jou send yonr plate away from the table, remove tbe knife and fork and allow them to rest opon a piece of bread. When you have fin ished the course, lay your koife and fork on your plate parrallei to each other, the handles towards the right band. Eat moderately and slowly. Do not seem to be in a hurry to con mence, nor is it necessary to wait until all have been served before you commence. Kememhcr that bread is the only food which the customs of well-bred people permit to be laid upon their table clo,h. It is perfectly proper for you to Hake the last piece'' if you want it, the presumption is that there is more in reserve. The table is the place abovn al! others where pleasant -words and so cial chat should be introduced avoid ing arguments or tho consideration of abstruse principles. Neyer tilt the plate when you are eating ooop, neyer eat from the end of the spoon tint from the side avoiding all noise. Always eat with the lips closed. Never hold a wire glass by tbe bowl, but by tbe item , neyer drain your glas. Never drink from a glass without Qrst wiping your lips with a nr.pkir, anl also after drink ing. Never allow two Rindi of pastry to oe eateu from tne same plate. Never cut olf bread into soup or gravj; it should b eaten by mor sels, broken with the fingers -not-broken oif. Never mix the food on the plate, isicb an act indicates a coarse appes t:tr, atd a want of nice appreciation of flavors. , Never cut pastry witli a knife, but always break and eat with a fork. Never put salt upon the cloth, but lay it upon the sile of jour plate. Never help yourself to butter or any other food from a common dish with your own knife or fork; it is ex ceedingly ill-bred to do so. Things a Woman Can Do. She can come to a'conclusion with oat the slightest trouble of reasoning o a it, and no sane mm can do that. Six of them can tnlk at once and get along first rate, and no two men can do that. She ca safely stick fifty pius in her diess while he is getting one un der his thumb nail. She is as cool as a cucumber in a half dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man willig sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt. She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to the wo.nan 6he hatef, while two men "ould be pounding each other's heads before they had exchanged ten words. She can throw a stone with a curve that would be a fortune to a baseball pitcher. She can say ".in"' in sach a low voice th t it merns 4 4yes." She can appreciate a kiss from her husband seventy five years after tht marriage ceremony was performed. She ean walk half a nuht with a colicky b.iby ln her arm. withott cien or.ee expressing tbe desire of merJerini the infant. She can do mon in a minute than a man can do in an hour, and do it bt tter. She can drive a man crrz in twenty-four hours and then bring him to Paradise in two seconds by i-imply tickling him uoder the chin , a&d tin re does nt live tht mortal son of Adam's mistry who can do it. AY. OCT015KK 8. IS91. HAYSEED. SOLID CHUNKS OF HARO SENSE. It ought to r. : t?T( itei. (Youth's Companion ) Tnere can e li'tle doubt that distaste for the faiaicrs lifo is col- tivaUd amupn coinlry boy by Ihc the carijature of the farmer which ... , ... are published in conic piper aud 4 hamoroun book?, a "ul by the fr of being classed among the peopl whom thtse caricaturist are pleased to call 44 hayseeds. lioj s are accuitomed to see thef-e funnf pictures ," in whico a art .r farmer who is extremely un iuu), and may be suid noC to exist L all is et forth as tlie tvpe or enrxrjple of farmers in general. As byi are sometimes unreasoning, they arc apt to say to tlnjmselvc-, 44 1 will not I c ridiculed iu that way when I grow up ; I will get out or tne 4nsy iced business.'" In this way r.ot only U an lrj f tice done bf these caries lorer, but a positive ir jury. The American people ihavc a broad sense of humor, and no dubt deligut in caricature; but they lo not di- light in injjsticc of miscl lcfmnkinr when they are able to rerogniz; i as such. For thit reason, it may b "hoped that the caricaturing of the farmer, which has certainly bwn greatly overdone, may soon eea$ from tbe distats for it which is preny sure to arise. The farmer him.eK cf.n afford to take the "hayseed" ridicule good naturedly. At a recent t'arinero demonstration in th- West, men rode in a proeetsion dressed iu cowhide boots , patched trousi rs, and ragged straw hats, carrying pitchforks on their shoulders. Tliiy had adopted the guise which the -aricaiu:e gives them a way of s ioving that they are independent of that sort of rid iculc. 15 it in the case of the joung this spirit of independence is not often so strong. With u little thought, they must see that aa unjust carica ture does not really .urect the credit afford honor of their occupation ; but they are often ambitious of what is called consideration or re 8pectability,9re likely to be uncrn'. sciously Heeled by misrepresenting pictures and btories. It is the duty of tha young to bear it in mind that nothing is more re spectable or dignified thau tho life of the independent farmer, and the duty of those who have it in thtir power to "raise tt laugh" in tbe public prints to remember that they no less than serious writers, have a responsibility to truth aud justice. Why Lobsters and Crabs Turn Red. (Sun.) "What makes lobster.s and crabs turn red when they are bjiled?" said the observant lishman, in reply to a questiou. "Well, strickly speaking, they don't. The lobster or the crab is just as red before it is put in hot water as it is after ward, only it is subdued by a ming liner of blue in its make-up that gives it a grayish-blue appearance. The blup and red of a live lobster or crab are pigments in the shell. As long as they are there together the red becomes gray. Hut both of these pigments are not fast colors. The blue won't wash, but the red is there to stay. If it were possible to keep lobsters or ';rabs alive for any length of time in the sun, tbe blue would fade ont as quickly as the same color does out of a cheap tiannel suit aud the shells would be a vivid red as if they had been boiled. It is not an uncommon thing to catch live lobsters aud crabs, more liequently the latter, that are entirelj, red. It has been detei mined however, that this eradication of the blue pigment i the result of disease. Liver red crabs aud lobi-t-MS are never put on tbe market. So the reason a crab or a lobster turns red, as the saying is, when it is boiled, is be cause the hot water instantly wash - es the lugitive blue coloring matter out of tbe shell aud leaves only the the fast red. It does uot take long j boiling 'o change the color. If you! were to rescue a lob-tcr Irotn its hot bath two seconds after it is submerged you would Hod it a ted as if it had beeu Lolled for an hour."
