Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
The first monument ever unveiled at
night in this country was the one dedi
cated to James A. Garfield at Philadel
phia, May 30th. It must have been a
grand sight the thousands on either
side oi the ravine where stands the
monument, with lantern-hung steam
ers on the Schulkyll, fireworks and col
ored torches, with electric lights flung
oyer all. The monument stands about
half a mile from the statue of Lincoln.
Good roads are a great necessity in
this country ; but the time will never
come, we presume, when it will be said
of our roads as it has been said of Rome.
One man writes : "The Roman road
was built for eternity" ; and says that
the Appian Way Is still a magnificent
road after 2,000 years of use. Roman
roads that were built in France are still
good roads, and are a monument to the
aphorism, "What is worth doing at all
is worth doing well."
Time out of mind it hai been an ag
ricultural aphorism that "There's more
in the man than there is. in the land."
The plain English of this is, that the
man of pluck, push and perseverance
can do something anywhere you put
him, even at farming, though thous
ands say there is not a liying in it.. So
in every other field of human endeavor,
there is more in the one who does a
thing and how he does it than there is
in what the good talker now popularly
calls "environments."
According to trade reports fewer
books are issued in the United States
than in England, Germany or France.
But Americans must not be judged as a
people not addicted to reading. Our
periodical literature is much superior
to that in those countries. It is said
that there is practically nothing in
Europe that corresponds to our daily
papers and monthly magazines. The
New York Herald's across-the-water
editions surpass any dailies made there
by native publishers.
It is interesting to note what Ameri
cans read and write. From Munsey's
Magazine we gather that Americans
read last year 3,837 new books, and of
these 1,157 were on law, theology, re
ligion, political and social science, and
mental and moral philosophy. Amer
icans then, it seems, are not quite so
frivolous as some are inclined to think.
Of the 1,400 novels published in this
country in 1895, 573 were the work of
American authors. The native novel
ist is writing 41 per cent, of our novels
against 50 per cent, by English, French,
German and other authors.
"Debt is a good master," say some ;
but it is a debated question as to which
is the stronger stimulus to men to put
forth no'le effort, poverty or plenty.
Some think that the sense of abject
poverty clinging to one, quenches the
fires of ambition, because he knows he
is in front of a difficulty that is hard
to overcome ; while another says that
absolute ease has a tendency to make
most persons careless and negligent.
We are of the opinion that it all de
pends upon how hotly the flame of
ambition burns. Poverty cannot
quench that ambition that is of the
noblest type, neither will it yield to
the embraces of luxury. If the flame
burns steadily and strong neither in
fluence can hinder.
What is the matter with "Silver Dol
lar" Bland for the Presidency? It would
seem that in the fitness of things Rich
ard P. Bland of Missouri is the man
for ' Democrats to nominate for Presi
dent on a silver platform. He is the
father of the silver movement. He
was lost from Congress in the Republi
can landslide in 1894, but he is no less
a Presidential possibility. He is a typ-
cal farmer on his farm near Lebanon,
where he oversees the work, is helpful
to his hired men and never dresses up
in "store clothes" except on Sunday.
Having to shift for himself in child
hood he became familiar with farm
work and has kept in touch with it all
the time. He is said to be a poor man.
THE CHANGE OF TIME.
I tell ye, times is changin',
And. cookin's changin', too :
Ther's nothin' hes the relish '.,
That vittles used ter do.
Some thinks it's in the etens
I don't purtend ter say
I know things don't taste nateral
Account for't how ye" may.
I don't get no sich beans now
As mother used ter bake
With pork all crisp and juicy,
J ust meltin' like a flake ;
And loaves of rye and injun,
Cut off in slices round,
All light, and sweet, and smokin,'
Ain't nowheres to be found,
Ther' ain't no more such doughnuts
As mother used ter fry :
Ther' never was her ekal
For mince or punkin pie.
Sich gingerbread for trainin's,
Such spicy lection cake,
Sich puddin's and dan-dowdies,
Nobody else can make.
She had a big blue platter
That held a master sight
But when she'd get biled dinner,
It wasn t too big, a mite,
Piled up with meat and cabbage,
itn turnip and with beet,
And carrots and pertaters
1 tell ye, 'twas complete !
We had flapjacks then, for breakfast,
And real codfish hash :
And warm cooked hasty puddin'
'lwan't much, nor any sich trash.
I hanker for a biskit,
With butter jest like her'n,
And a bowl of cider apple sass
To top the whole concern.
How one thing starts another !
'Tis curious, I declare :
I'd e'ena most forgotten
How good her dumplin's were :
And stews, and tripe and inyons,
And seasoned head and pluck
Our folks does try to fix 'em
But they never has no luck.
Their sassengers and spareribs,
I don no what they lack :
Ther's nothin' baked or roasted
Mabbe, 'twas mother's knack,
Ther's nothin' baked or roasted
Ther's nothin' fried or biled,
That has the geniwine goodness
Or else my taste is spiled !

The Housekeeper's Column.
The Commonwealth wishes to be
helpful to every one m every home
which it visits, and we know that no
one oftener needs help than the house
keeper, who must three times a day
plan meals for the whole family. Per
haps the following about cooking po
tatoes may be of interest to the good
housewives who read these columns :
Very large potatoes should be re
jected. They are usually hollow heart
ed and unsavory.
To boil potatoes, have the water boil
ing first and slightly salted. Cut off
the tips of their ends and throw into
the boiling water. When done, drain
and shake, holding the cover down
firmly. Set back upon the stove for a
minute, and they will be dry and mealy.
In the spring potatoes should stand in
cold water a few hours before using.
Mashed potatoes look much nicer when
done with a patent masher. Baked po
tatoes are improved by first boiling
them (skins on) tor 15 minutes, then
putting them into the oven. Always
have a quick oven for baking potatoes
and turn them over once or twice while
baking. A meat pie is far healthier if,
instead of the unsual crust of rich pas
try, a potato crust or cover is used. -
Many appetizing breakfast dishes are
prepared from cold boiled potatoes,
among which are the following from
Good Housekeeping, authority also for
the foregoing suggestions :
Cold mashed potatoes may be molded
into balls, then dipped Into beaten egg
and cracker crumbs. Fry in a basket
in a kettle of hot lard or drippings un
til a rich brown. Or" patato scramble
may be made by cutting cold boiled
potato into dice, turning into hot beef.
chicken or turkey gravy, heating
thoroughly and serving hot.
Potato croquettes are made as follows
and are acceptable not only for break
fast, but for lunch :
Two cupfuls of warm mashed pota
toes, one-quarter cupful of hot milk,
beaten together until light ; add a ta
blespoonful of melted butter, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of mace or
nutmeg and enough beaten egg to han
dle easily. Shape, dip into beaten, egg
and roll in sifted cracker crumbs. ' Fry
in hot lard until nicely browned. Gar
nish with parseley.

SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY.
ITS FIELDS AEE OPEN,
Wise Immigration.
Manufacturers1 Record. i-
The most important question before
the South is, how to secure immigra
tion. A large movement of population
from " the North and West and of the
better classes of German, Scandinavian
and British farmers to the South would
be of incalculable value to this section.
It would stimulate the whole South,
wonderfully augment the growth of
manufactures, enhance the value of all
agricultural land and of all city proper
ty, increase the money-making oppor
tunities ot every man, woman and
child in the South, bring about better
educational facilities, secure the con
struction ot better roads, forever settle"
all possible race questions, and give to
this section a prosperity as much great
er than that of the North and West as
the natural advantages of the former
exceed those of the latter. It is the
duty of every man and woman interest
ed m the South to bend their best en
ergies to this great question. It de
mands the untiring work, the most lib
eral financial aid and the daily thought
of everyone who desires to see the
South enjoy the blessings that would
come from an ever-increasing south
ward movement of population. Will
the people of the whole South, the
bankers, the merchants, the manufac
turers, the land owners, the railroad
companies and all others realizing the
vital importance of greater energy in
this work and the greatness cf the re
ward that is possible, take up these
questions with new activity and en
thusiasm?
Why the South is Poor. "
Durham Sun.
Why have the Northern States east
ot the Rocky Mountains about twice
the population of the Southern States ?
Why have they twice the wealth per
capita? Why are their farm lands
worth from twice to five times aa much ?
This is the reason :
Because the South sells raw mate
rial and the North sells manufactured
products ; because the South has only
farms and mines, and the North has
factories.
The South sells little and buys much,
and pays a profit on it all ; the North
buys little and sells much, and earns a
profit on it all.
But the South has the more iron,
coal and mineral riches ; the more valu
able timber ; the monopoly ot cotton,
sugar and rice, the more favorable cli
mate ten months in which to till the
soil instead of six and the most favor
able conditions for prosperity to be
found on the globe. It is the only sec
tion that has raw material in great va
riety and abundance, spread over a vast
area, with ability to raise its own lood
supply. It is the only section that can
employ a vast body of mechanics in
converting its own raw material and
feed them from its own farms. In a
few words the South can produce its
principal raw material more cheaply,
and feed its mechanics more cheaply,
than any other section of the United
States can.
If these things are irue, and they are
true, they need only to be shown to
the world to cause the building of lac
tones, and the influx, of immigration.
Every farmer, merchant and land own
er in the South will be personally ben
efited by this result.
Mexican Jury System.
Robesoniah.
Mexico has an ingenious plan for fa
cilitating verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary jurors are drawn to sit
near, the jury box and listen to the ev
idence and arguments. If any of the
regular jury falls ill or is otherwise dis
qualified Irom going on, one of the
"supes" takes his place. In this way
they avoid what is often seen in Amer
ican courts sl long trial rendered use
less when it is nearly finished by sud
den illness or death of one juror.

4 Supreme Court on Fortune-Tellers.
Lansing Mich.) Journal.
An opinion handed down by the Su
preme Court islieely to send cold chills
running up and down the spinal col
umns of modern day seers, fortune tel-1
lers and the like who have been wont
to find a rich harvest in Michigan. It
is evident that the learned justices do
not take much stock in the ability of
the seventh son of a seventh son to tell
the future.
This intimation of the views of
the court was contained in an opinion
written by Justice Grant and signed by
the other justices in the case of the
People vs. Arthur Elmer.
Last year Elmer appeared at Ionia
and advertised extensively his power to
foretell the future. He was liberally
patronized, but after advising, a woman
to leave her husband, saying that while
in a trance he had seen the latter in
the act of killing her, he was arrested
as a disorderly person and convicted.
This judgment was affirmed in an
opion in which the English statute,
which declares that "every person pre
tending or professing to tell fortunes
shall be deemed a rogue and a vaga
bonds," was approvingly quoted. The
opinion also approves the language of
the trial judge to the effect that no per
son not a lunatic could believe the ac
cused possessed the power to foretell
the future.
Zuna's Clever Ruse.
Land and Water.
"The other day I witnessed an amus
ing instance of canine sagacity worthy
ot commemoration in print. I was
staying with friends who have a varied
collection of a Blenheim spaniel and her
live puppies, a fox terrier and two fine
deerhounds. This happy family are al
lowed to spend part of th.3 day in the
drawing room, and they conform to cer
tain rules of boundary lines and amica
ble agreement among themselves. The
hearth rug is the favorite 'coigne of ad
vantage' with them all. Zuna, the deer
hound, sauntered in one morning and
found every approach to the fire by the
slumbering forms of her com p&nions.
She tried gently to scratch a passage
for herself, but was repelled with growls.
So, apparently suffering from extreme
lowness of spirits, she retired to a dis
tant corner of the room, but not to sleep.
For ten minutes she crouched there,
pondering silently, then, suddenly
bounding up, flew to the window, and
barked as if an invading army were in
sight. Of course every one, human
and canine, followed in mad haste. The
hearth rug wasleit unoccupied, and Zu
na quietly trotted round, stretched her
huge formjbefore the fire, and in an in
stant was snoring heavily, leaving us
all staring out into vacancy emphati
cally 'sold !' "
Discoveries in Ohio Hounds.
Cincinatti Commercial Gazette.
Warren K. Morehead, curator of the
Ohio Archajological Society, has been
opening mounds along the yalleys of
the Muskingum River and its tributa
ries, making some important finds. A
small mound on the Porteus farm, three
miles south of Coshocton, was opened,
in which five skeletons were found.
These skeletons are of unusual interest
to science, as they indicate the type of
the prehistoric race The skull is thick
er than that of the Negro, with low fa
cial angles, prominent jaws, handsome
teeth, and small brain capacity. The
skeletons indicate, a tribe somewhat
shorter than ourselves, more muscular
and heavier.
Near Walhounding in a mound two
feet high, was found the skeleton of a
person supposed to have been the arrow
maker of the tribe. Just above him
were buried some sixty or seyenty of
his implements. These were made of
flint, beautifully shaped, and about
half the size of a man's hand. In a
gravel pit near by was found the skele
ton of a child, with mussel shells and
other play things.
In a mound nine feet high, on the
Johnson farm, were lound a stone used
lor playing games, flint scalping knives,
and a few arrow heads. There' are a
great many mounds hi this valley, and
it Is expected that other valuable and
interesting finds will be made.

HOW THEY GO.
THERE ABE WAYS AND WAYS.
The Walk of Women.
London Figaro.
"How women walk" has recently
been the subject of discussion in a Pa
risian journal. According to this au
thority, the palm must be awarded to
French women. The English woman,
it states, does not walk ; she travels.
Her limbs appear to be moved by the
engine ot a steamer, and her feet have
the proportions of an Atlantic liner 1
Concerning the gait of women of o'ther
countries, this interesting journal goes
on to remark that the German is heavy,
one feels the earth tremble beneath her
tread ; the Spanish woman "prances, g
the American resembles the pendulum
ot a clock, the Italian "skips," the Rus
sian "skates," the Dutch woman "rolls,"
and the Belgian tramps about.
Now, although these remarks are un
gallant and uncomplimentary to our
own nation particularly, we cannot but
own there Is a certain amount of truth
in them. Numbers of women do not
seem to care how they walk so long as
they cover the distance they wish to
traverse somehow. But it they could
only, see themselves as they appear to
the casual onlooker, how yery different
ly they would comport themselves !
How often is a pretty face and figure
roiled by a stoop of the shoulders and
a wv ruling, bustling walk !
Corsican women are models of queen
ly grace, and the reason is plain. They
have a curious custom of carrying bur
dens, waterpots, etc., on their heads.
I noticed a Corsican woman going on
board a steamer at Marseilles not long
ago carrying her baby in her arms and
her portmanteau on her head. As
nearly all the water in Corsica is car
ried from wells by women in waterpots,
the women acquire from youth the
practice of carrying burdens on their
heads. An hour's practice of this ex
ercise a day with, for instance, a book
or pillow on our head, would do wonders
in the way of making us into types of
grace and ease, when before we-were
the exact opposite.
Importance of Small Industries.
Robesonian.
As an exchange aptly remarks :
Great industries play an important
part in building up a town but they
are not so valuable, neither will they
build up a town so quickly or on so
solid a basis as will smaller industries.
The South has been badly injured as
the steady drain of its money to the
North rendered necessary by this sec
tion not having manufacturing plants
to turn our own raw material into ar
ticles needed here and which we now
have to purchase from the outside.
The live, go-ahead cities and towns
of the South have made by the estab
lishment of manufacturing enterprises
within their borders, and we find that
the places with a large number of small
factories are growing much faster and
are more prosperous than those with a
few large ones.
JS'6w the question is how to get fac
tories established in a town? We will
answer ; by co-operation of its live citi
zens. No matter how many advantages
a town or city may have, the chances
are against outside capital coming to it
without its citizens help to bring it
there. Capital Is being invested in too
many places in the South for the men
who posess it to have to hunt up a
place to invest it. When the advan
tage of so many places are being kept
before their eyes they naturally think
that the towns which keep in the dark
have nothing to recommend them.
EVIDENCE?
Rheiimacide, the great blood purifier
and rheumatic cure, has been tried by
the greatest of all courts, the public, and
found guilty of curing rheumatism.
We can't find room for the testimony
of but a small number of the witnesses,
but enough to convict.
Mr. H. S. Lipscomb, merchant, Pco
let, S. C. says : "I am cured, ana,
knowing it as I do, would pay $100 per
bottle if I could not secure it for less."
Mr. M. F. Barnett, traveling sales
man, Hendersonville, N. C, says : "One
bottle cured me of rheumatism, wnich
I suffered with for 15 years, after all oth
er remedies failed."
Mr. J. C. Perry, Elizabeth City, N.
C. writes : "My wife has used two bot
tles of Rheumacide and is nearly well.
She had a bad attack of rheumatism,
could not dress herself without assist
ance, and could scarcely walk. I think
one more bottle will cure her."
Mr N. B. Broughton, of the firm of
Edwards & Broughton, Raleigh N. C,
says : "My sister has been a sufferer
from rheumatism for some time. Got
so she could scarcely walk. Alter us
ing one bottle of Rheumacide she has
almost entirely recovered. I congrat
ulate you on your great remedy."
