The "Road Congress" to be held in Raleigh Feb ruary 12ib, ought to be widely adver tised. Whatever of instruction for good road making the occasion will furnish the people in all parts of North Carolina ought to get Our State needs nothing more than good roads ; and it is a hopeful sign to see such lively interest taken in the subject. We nope to see the interest spread and spread until it touches every part of the State. This paper has all the while advo cated the home-independence policy for the farmers. This is the season of the year when farmers are laying plans for "pitching the crop," as it was ex pressed a long time ago , and every farmer ought to make preparation for grain crop of some kind large enough to furnish all such supplies and then fatten his meat. To pursue any other course is not wise. If it were possible to interview every farmer in the State it would be found that the most suc cessful ones are those who have bought least for running their farms. Mr. E. W. Pou, Representative from tne Fourth district of this State, made a short speech in Congress a week ago whicii was complimented in reports sent out from Washington. He spoke in opposition to an amendment to the Urgent Deficiency Appropriation bill lor $500,000 to establish an army post at Manila. Mr. Pou was generously applauded by the Democratic side and held the close attention of the entire body which he addressed. He is one of the bright young men in Congress from North Carolina and his constituency is already proud of him. Advice is a pretty free thing and sometimes so free it means very little when given. However, here and there we find a bit that is worth picking up and preserving. The following from the Norfolk Landmark rather strikes us : "Editor Henry Watierson, in giving advice to young men who have a de sire to become journalists, tells them that they should have the biographies ot all the world's distinguished men 'at their fingers' ends' and should read a pago of the unabridged dictionary every day. This ought to do some thing in the way of furthering the charitable work of keeping roman tictsts out ol rifewspaperdom." The Saturday Evening Tost gives the following interesting item about a new flour which perhaps may come into general use i "Something new in the way of a food product Is pea flour, with which the War Department has recently been malting experiments. It wih be placed on the maket before long at a moder ate' price, aud seems likely to come in- ;o use to a considerable extent. This flour is intended to be mixed with wheat flour for making bread, and the claim is tbst it improves the flavor o the bread, which remains sou ana enlist, for a much longer time than when wlieat flour alone is employed. "The pea flour is prepared for mar Ket by cooking the peas with steam, then roasting them, and finally powder ing them by roller process, the fioa nroduct being light sulphur yellow in color and nearly as fiue as ordinary wheat flour. "It is extremely nutritious, and is said to contain nearly two and a half times as much of the substance that foes to make muscle and blood as does whent flour.

" Owing to the wide and unusual in terest manifested in the Angora goat at this time, it might not be uninter esting to discuss the description, habits, etc., of this valuable animal. In 1819 Dr. James B. Davis, of South Carolina, brought home with him as a gift from the Sultan of Turkey nine Angora goats, the first of these animals ever imported to this country. These goats. were all purchased, with one or two exceptions, by Col. Richard .Peters, of Atlanta, Ga., from Day is in 1853. Later on Col. Peteru imported others and undertook to breed them cn a more extensive scale, but they did not prove satisfactory, yet this effort on the part of Cul. Peters gave to him the reputation ot being the pioneer in Angora goat industry in this country. But from the sma'l beginning in 1853 the industry has been built up until there are now thousands of these ani mals in many parts of the Southwest ern Stales. Large numbers of them have been recently taken into Missouri and Iowa, where they will be bred quite extensively on ranches stocKed with them, and the industry may now be said to have become a prominent one. The Angora goat, first discovered in the province ot Angora, Turkey, has been crossed with other breeds of goats for different purposes until at this time it is exceedingly doubtful if there is in any part of the world a pure Angora, as the animal originally existed. The original Angora was quite small with a dazzling white fleece, and the animals were so delicate as to render them un profitable ; therefore they were crossed n Turkey with common goats to pro duce a more hardy strain, yet not so extensively as to seriously impair the color, texture or value of the mohair or fleece. The American Angora of the best breeds should show a size and strength equal to that of the common j goat with a good covering of fine, silky mohair, and among the best specimens the mohair tuft on the forehead should be well developed. The mohair should hang in long curly ringlets over the entire body except on the face and from the hocks of the legs down. Aside rom the high value of the animal rom its clipping of mohair, the animal is much prized for its food, and it re quires an expert to detect the differ ence in the taste ot the flesh from that of the best butchered lambs. For this reason the animal possesses a double value, the same as ebeep The annual clipping runs all the way from two to ten pounds of mobair per animal, the amount depending upon age ot animal, climate, care, etc. USES OF THE ANGORA. The Angora goat is a highly useful animal for many purposes, and is prized for such by those who breed them as an industry. Tae fleece called "mo hair" furnishes some ot the nnest lab- rics among ladies' dress goods, the flesh is e jual to that of spring lamb. the animal is useful in clearing woods and fields of underbrnsh and weeds, and their milk is richer than cow's milk. Their tanned skins are used for leather, the pelt makes a beautifully neat rug or robe, and the animalf are excellent pets for children. A few Angora goats kept with a flock of sheep araan absolute protection against worthless and destructive dogs which are a menace to sheep breeding in the South, They are of great assistance In clearing land of underbrush and ob noxious weeds. In this respect they will convert a forest of tangled under growth into a useful pasture for stock within a short time, or so kill down the weeds and bushes on land as to render its clearing for cultivation an easy and inexpensive iob by the farmer. One farmer in Iowa claims that with 10 coats to 40 acres he has within the past few years converted 500 acres ot land that was originally useless into an elegant grass pasture. Another farmer in Oregon claims that be now has a pasture that main tains 200 head ol sheep, which had no rrass on it whatever a few years ago wnen he turned Angora goats on it The goats killed out the brash and araes has taken its place. The Angora will thrive on any kind of brush, briers or weeds, it makes no particular differ ence what it is. Oak, cedar, sumac, sassafras, hickory, maple, ash, grape vines, nersimm-n, briers of all kinds, elders, sage bruh and almost all weeds, give splendid material for Angoras to thrive upon. Without such pasturage, of course, the animals must be fed.

The best plan is to purchase pure bucks which can be bought at from $50 to $100 per head and breed up from the I common herd, always selecting perfect i ly white females to cross on. A large number of Angoras are annually sold to the packing houses where they are slaughtered and sold as mutton In the stock yards at Chicago in one week last year there were more than 8,000 Angora goats slaughtered and placed on the market as mutton. The business of raising Angora goats both for mohair and mutton is rapidly becoming a prominent and profitable industry. The South offers a splendid field for the growth ot these animals which the farmers in Texas are already appreciating. Georgia and the other States should also raise them in large numbers, because the demand is always good, and there is but little fear of rais ing more than the country can put to profitable use. Receipts by & Eentuckian. Selected. A bright vivacious little wife, who has just gone to house keeping, writes and asks for thirteen useful recipes ; says it's her luckly nmuber, and as she wishes to please her husband and keep her home successfully, she thinks best to start out with that number in her refrence book. Of course, no matter how busy I was, that spicy letter won me over, so I sent the thirteen excel lent recipes all useful : 1. Use whiting of ammonia in the water to wash windows with ; polish with old newspapers. 2. To brighten tin, polish with news paper. 3. Buv soap by the large bar and keep it in a warm, dry place, cutting each bar in two, and it will last twice as long. 4. To clean gilt frames, wash lightly with a small sponge dipped in oil of turpentine. 5. To clean a brown porcelain kettle, boil peeled potatoes in it. 7. Cheesecloths make the best and softest kind of dust cloths. 8. If troubled with roaches or ants in closets, pantry shelves, etc., wash them with a strong solution of borax water and when dry sprinkle powdered borax all around. 9. A few drops of lemon juice give a delicious flavor to scrambled eggs. 10. Sandpaper will whiten ivory handled knives which have become yellow. 11. Sweep your carpet when very dusty with a new broom dipped into a pail of warm water, to which enough pearline has been added to make a good suds. It will look like new. 12. All meat should be cleansed with a soft, damp cloth before cooking. 13. Vinegar sprinkled on the stove will keep odors away. Politeness in the Smoker. The Youth's Companion. A thoughtful observer, who took re- iige one cold morning in the "smoker" rather thar stand up for ten miles in a crowded car, reports a conversation between two half-grown boys sitting in Front of him. It was a suburban train, and as the car gradually filled the two boys began to look about them. "Bob," said one of them, "wouldn't it be the polite thing tor you or me to get up and let that old gentleman that's standing bare a seat?"' "Maybe it would," replied Bob, set tling himself more comfortably in his seat ; "but you don't have to be pome in a smoking car." Were the boys shrewd observers of smoking car manners? Des Jhe to bacco habit tend to blunt the finer sensibilities when gregariously follow ed? Or is the average smoker "that kind of man?" Or was Bob mistaken? Who shall say ?

"Giye.a boy address and accomplish ments, and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes whereyer he! i goes." Emerson. The art of pleasing is the art of rising in the world. Good manners often prove a fortune to a young man or woman. Mr. Butler, a merchant in Providence, R. I., had once closed his store and was on his way home, when he met a little girl who wanted a spool of thread. He went back, opened the store and got the thread. This little incident was talked of all about the city, and brought him hundreds of cus tomers. jHe became very wealthy, largely because of his courtesy. A fine illustration of the business value of good manners is found in the Bon Marche, an enormous establish ment in Paris, where thousands of clerks are employed, and where almost everything is kept tor sale. The two distinguishing characteristics of the house are one low price to all and ex treme courtesy. Mere politeness is not enough ; the employes must try in every possible way to please and to make customers feel at home. Some thing more must be done than is done in other stores, so that every visitor will remember the Bon Marche with pleasure. By this course the business has been developed until it is said to be the largest of its kind intbe world. No other advertising is so efficacious. It has been said that no one can es cape the bondage of good manners. Its fetters may be silken, but they are as strong as those that wheel the earth along its orbit. And, while all mutt obey its laws, those laws furnish a cur rency with which, it the beggar pro vide himself therewith, he is better off in all the markets of the world than the prince who has it not. It is said that Abbott Lawrence was courteous and lordly to his customers. He exhibited his goods as if be were doing a personal favor. He was eco nomical and at the same time liberal in his style of doing things, throwing in the odd quarter of a yard of cloth, the odd shilling in change. When he gained a customer, be kept him. The house of the Lawrences held a monop oly of heavy beavers and wide broad cloths. A country trader bought a few yards ot cloth at $10 a yard. On re turning home and .measuring the goods, he found one piece to be short a quarter of a yard. He was almost afraid to speak of so small a matter to so courtly a merchant. On his next trip to Boston, however, he plucked up courage to say : "Mr. Lawrence, when I was here a few months ago, I bought a few yards of fine broadcloth at $10 a yard. According to ir-y measurement it fell short a quarter of a yard." "Fell short a quarter? That will never do ; it should over-run a quar ter." TurniDg to his" book keeper, he said: "Credit this gentleman with half a yard 6t our best broadoloth." The book-keeper did so, and the custo mer was nailed for life. Thousands of well-meaning boys and girls have been failures largely from gruff, coarse, rude manners. A cour teous disposition counts in the world to day. Take two persons, possessing equal advantages in every other respect but let one be kind, obliging, conciliat ing, the other disobliging, rude, harsh and insolent, and the one will become rich, while the other will starve. Those who throw their good deeds should not always expect them to be caught with a thankful smile. But there Is no policy like politeness, and courtesy is profitable advertising. Fooled the Temperance Man. Charlotte Observer. A Methodist, of this city, who has held a good many high offices in his church and is a well-known temper ance man, was accosted on the streets Saturday by a tramp, who said : "Mister, I want you to give ma en ough monoy to buy a drink." "Here's the dime," said the Metho dist, after a moment's pause. "I never gave any money for drink before, but your frankness wins out." -"Thank you, sir," said the tramp, as the glow of gratitude spread oyer his face. And then the temperance man watched the poor, benighted tramp as he sneaked Into a grocery store and in vested tha ten cents in cheeas and craskers. Chronic Constipation Cured.

Oh, swift flowing river, a secret you hold, Way down in the depths of the waters so cold, Oh be merciful, river, hark to our prayer, And tell ns who gave to your pitying care ihe fair girl whose story so cad has been told, Stole away in the nignt, a lamb from the fold. Whose treacherous hand dealt (he vil lainous blow? The secret, oh river, you surely must know, And have whispered it oft in your ceaseless round, From Dismal Swamp to your home in the sound. Ob, swift flowing river, give ease to our mind, And tell us, oh tell, were you gentle and kind? Did you hold the dear form in tender embrace, Did you stoop low and kiss tha beau- tiiul face? Did you sing sweet lullabies down in the deep, As billowy waves rock'd the lov'd one to sleep, Rock'd eoftly to sleep, to waken no more Till dawn ot the light on eternity's shore? Will you stop tor a while, as onward you flow, And tell us, oh river, the tbiugs that you know. Jeannette Cropsey. Don't Talk About Tour A:hes and Pains. February Ladies' Home Journal. As soon as possible dismiss from the mind every suggestion that has to do with iilness. If you have had an oper ation, and it is over, let it glide into the shadowy background of memory. Do not dwell upon it, do not talk about it. Cultivate thought about others, about the great round world, about its heroes and its martyrs, its battles and its victories, its happy hemes and loving hearts, but utterly turn from the night side of suffering, except as you may relieve it, and dwell in the blessed sunshine. Tht re is no sweater thing on earth than to be one of God's light-bringers, and to make those about you stronger because you are uncom plaining. Does your horse "feel his oats"? What a difference be tween the grain-fed and the prass-fed horse! The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children are not alike either. One is rosy, bright-eyed, full of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. The feed ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blocd info pale ones. It makes children grow.
