David Dodge, in Kate Fields Washing tot; i Among the many odd modes of book-keeping which have come un der my observation not exceptieg that of the tavern keeper who kept his accounts on the plastered walls of the room and who none absent was well nigh bankrupted by his wife with a whitawaih brush that of my old colord friend, Uncle Cephas struck me a the mont orig inal. The old man, like many of his race, had mortgaged his steer, cm and other pitiful beloogings to buy the necesssariea oi life. jMaj day came. The account wa9 bo much larger than he expected being in deed hopelessly, beyond his eiendtr resources that be disputed its ac curacy mt'9t vigorously in true Afr can eloquence, of whioh be was master. j But all was without avail. The merchant . his creditor, only replied that he relied on his books. Uncle Cephus on his bead, and that when It came tu a qaestion of ink against memory, the ink must carry it The old man affirmed that be kept books toOj and that they would prove him right. The merchant asked him to produce them. The crowd which had been collected by the loud dis pute tittered, for Uncle Cephus wna illiteracy .e"'-. Nothing daunted, the old man muttered something about fetching them in the cart, climbed into the vehicle and drove off. A little later; W : .1 1 T . ll - : r 1 1 ue bcic urove m Bigur) Burronnueu by much plunder. Aware of bis od dltiet, the crowd was on tiptoe to see the denouncement.

Dey all telle de trufe. Fa pertie'lar 'nout ra bonks as you is bout yone-'' By that time the merchant's book keeper Had discovered that goods bought by a different person of sim ilar name had been bv mistake, charged to the old man, and that Uncle Cephus' account was tha right one. But to this day the latter be lieves that his own nnerring system of book keeping saved him, and be till follows it more assiduously than ever. (iiaaranirrd Curr.

One of the fir-4 and ir.oet, iunpoi- tant"ess,ntiala to a profitable t'ck feeding is a good animal. The food of support is more than the support; of gaiu under the most favorable condition The giving of lued of an lufenor quality is inconsistent with th most profitable ftook feeding. ft is by adopting tb principle of selectiug ouly the bet, that 1m provemeut is to be made. On the majorit of farms it is bet ter to have a It- w ot all kinds ( i stock iather than onlv one or two. One advantage ;u having good horses is that they not only sell readily, but thev bring good price. Every cow kept for milk and but tei should be given such tieatment a-s will give the b(-t results. JS'o rdugie ihtiou entirely meets the wants of a growing or fattening animal. A variety is uecessarv. With stock as well as with grain growing there is a .strong disposi tion with farmers to go to extremes. There is hardly anything better for the cracked and sie teats of cows thau iich Id boiled linseed oil , With nearly all classes of stock It is the small lots given good man agement that return the best profit. Com is fattening food, and tor putting fat on an animal, there is no food so economical, if properly used. The western farmer is not obliged as yet to keep stock for no other profit than can be derived from the manure. Whenever we feed a scrub wo are in a measure wasting feed, for a good animal would more than pay lor its feed. Besides good form and good blood, a brood mare must be a good sockler and this fact should always j be looked after. EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. N. C. THURSDAY.

By the latest application of iec tricity to tciencs it hat Ucb potslble to utilize the human bead as a lantsrs. This was proved by Dr. WeDdell C. Phillips oa Wednes day night before a meeting of the Iarynologicial sect on or the Acade my of Medleine. The electrical apparatus uad is called a "bead illuminator." It con sists of a small Incandescent globe sad an electric light of three caodle aid about as big as g ape. It is ad justed to the end of a rubber tube, which in appearance resembles a lead pencil, and through which the wires reach the globe. Io demonstratiag tbe properties of this light before tbe Academy of Medicine Dr. Pnillips called a small boy to tbe platform aid placed the instrument in his mouth. The boy closed bis lips, all ths lights were turned out, and then the light in the instrument was turntd on. Immediately th boy's cheeks be came translucent, and every veil and imperfection of the skin stood out with distinctness. Tbe light also shone through the upper part of the face. TAR.10U6 DEVICKS. I called on Dr. Phillips at No. 350 Madison avenne, yesterday, and Was shown the illuminator, together with an aggregation of the .'ateat electric! surgical implements. ''The beauty of this illuminator." said Dr. Philips, "lies in the fact that it enables us to read errf'iin conditions of the head which could only be learned heretofore by operations or problngs. If the light bines through one side of tbe face and not the other we know the dark ide is affected. ''It also throws a light through the bones of the face and discloses formations ot ths bone which, urder other circumstances, could only be ascertained by drilling Into the bones. ... ''Placed in the corner of the eye, the l'gbt sblne up through the cav ity In the frontal bone Just over tbe eyebrow. Catarrhal diseases are thus located," Here the Doctor placed a email section of a rubber hose over the light which he beld in his hand at the liazc. "Now notice how this shines through a thumb 1 'he continued. Well if there was a splinter there it could be accurately located. Any disarrangement of the small bones of the band could be assertained in the same manner. "This practical use of eleatricity in surgery is not new, however," adaed the Doctor, "lie first man to utilize it was Voltolini. In re gard to these newer instruments I which I have aDoui me i naye jusi f added imnrovements. A LAMP TO BE SWALLOWED. "Ilere is a search Hfcht," said Dr. Phillips, taking up a curved piece of niekel made to fit over the head and come down between tbe browt. Between the brows was a lens which stood out like the glass in a bull's-eye lantern. It was cor;, nected by wires with a storigr bat tery. A switch from the apparatus like a star on tbe forehead of a ballet dancer. 'This light," said the physician. "shines into and down the throat of a patient who is being examined for throat troabies. This latter exam ination can also be performed by tbe insertion of a snail electric light tbe size of a pes. "Tbert i another instrument con sisting of a flexib le tube with a bsf. tery. The patient swallows this lamp, and when it reaches the stom ach it shine through so a diseased organisss can be plainly read from the outside. The circulation Is vie ible and an abnormal development stands out like t, mole on a person's cheek. "Ail these implements and de vices, added Dr. rhiiups in con clusion, are the results of etady made by prominent physicians and surgeons. I have cot invented thee things I have only developed them. We hsvea't reached the highest de velopment of the use of electricity in th medical science yet. We are now on new lines." Market and prices can not be good enough to bring good times to 1 tbe man who hs nothing to seli.
