BUPHUSTITIONS ABOUT FIRE.
Where a fire burns upon the hearth
the Germans say that lightning never
strikes.
In f’ambridgeshiro there is a curious
belief to flio effect that a fire started
by a lightning atroko can only bo
quenched with milk.
In Devonshire if a fire burns blue

ner of death or disaster in that house.
In Wales and in Cornwall miners
loirn t licit huts upon the birth of a

The Sicilians say that fire will not
burn a man born ■ -ii St. Paul’s Day
bunted Manuary 25), but that if a woman
on that day the sore will never
heal, and will eventually cause her
'loath, according to the St. IasuAa Re¬
public.
\\ hen a Russian family moves from
one hotis-*- to another they always rako
all AAo- lire from the hearth of tho old

'i Greece, when one peasant borrows
fire from another’s hearth to kindle
bis own, the owner of the fire must
accompany tho borrower to his homo
"to see tho fire blnze," otherwise the
one making the loan will have liis

part of the mluial'o’m'ni'of T theft*? t hu 'gnsulmfer
prlBM.ii.lol every visitor but
particularly on the part ot the people of the
the Mouth, that there was not a larger display of
products of that very resourceful part of
tho country. Tho reason for this incomplete
display at the Chicago Exposition Was be¬
cause of the peculiar provisions in the Con¬
stitutions of* most of tho Southern States,
Which prevented tho appropriation of any of
tho public money for such purposes.
To make up for tho lo&S of the display
which should have been had at Chicago, it
has been decided to hold an exposition at
Atlanta in 1895, beginning September 13 and
closing December 81. This exposition will
take the place of the Cotton Exposition
which is usually held in tho South. It wilt
be called the Cotton. States and International
Exposition. It Is not intended that it shall
be a merely local or provincial affair, as tho
Cotton Htates Exposition has usually been,
but it will be an exhibition of all tbo pro¬
ducts of the South, as woil as of interesting
material from all American countrios and
from as many foroign countries as can bo
interested in the project so soon after tho
closing of the World’s Fair at Chicago.
In view of tho fact that American coun¬
tries are to be particularly interested in this
exposition, Pan-American it was at first proposed to call it
the Exposition, but tho favor
with which tho idea was received by some
foreign countries seemod to give it an inter¬
national character. The exposition has boon
indorsed by the United States Government,
by the Governors of all tho Houtnern States,
and by all commercial bodies interested in
the development of the South. It is ex¬
pected that the Southern States will be fully
represented in the exhibits and that there
will bo many displays from Northern States,
whtle the amount of material that is pledged
from South American countries i3 large
enough to assure au interosting, if uot com¬
plete, 4 exhibit of the resources and products
o these countries.
The particular object of this
fostering ot tr a
the Southern Htates and Pau-Amorioau coun¬
tries. It is felt by all Southern people that
there is a large field of business enterprise
south of tho Gulf of Mexico, mi l, with tho
sarno tho spirit which has made Yankees famous,
Southerners aro taking steps to make
tiie most of it. Four Commissioners have
been sent into Mexico, Central and South
America, and through them nearly all these
countries have returned favorable replies to
the Invitations to participate in tho exposi¬
tion.
Although tho exposition was at first out¬
lined something after tho plan of the usual
cottou exhibitions, it grew so steadily that
It has now become universal in plan. It was
in last February that a mass meeting of tho
citizens of Atlanta was held to take steps to
inaugurate the plans of tbe exposition.

Now: eing Built for tho Display of
position and tho cIosb of tho Pacific Coast
Exposition, at San Francisco ’bo it was felt
that many large exhibits could obtaineJ
for Atlanta with very little trouble and at
comparatively South small cost. The fact that the
was so little represented at the
World’s Fair, and that the bulk of the vis
,tors ,hore ca!n » fr ™ tbeN >rth, because the
Southern people were unable to attend, ow

make it almost imperative that there should
be a well-organized movement to provide

Atlanta, which is the capital of Georgia is
situated on high rolling land, bordering the
Alleghany range, and is 1100 feet above the
sea. It has many fine sites for an exposition

to the line of the railroad on the lower bor
der, nnd were possible of development in a
very artistic manner.
A part of this park was dug out so that an
inland lake, twenty acres in area was pro
vlded, and around this lake, as aroun l the
lagoons at the World’s Fair, it was proposed
to group the principal buildings. Tue lay
lng out of the grounds and the arrangement
of the buildings and their location was done
by Grant Wilkins, of Atlanta, who was made
Chief of Construction. Mr. Wilkins is well
known to the South as a railroad and bridge
constructor, and has bsen very successful in
laving out the grounds for the Atlanta Ex
postion.

Along that part of the park where the Mid
wa F Plaisnuce of the exposition will be,
even at this remote dav, may be seen the
trenches behind which the soldiers fought.
Although it was ut first proposed to have
only one building, which was to be.large
enough to contain all the exhibits which it
was thought it would be possible to obtain.
so much interest in the exposition was de
veioped in the South ami in other countries
that the scope of the enterprise gradually
extended until it was found necessary to
provide There ten buildings for the exhibits alone,

are a winding street along the southern end

The Government Building is of Roman¬
esque architecture an 1 has a lloor area of
about 50,009 squ ire feet. A turreted fewer
surmounts the structure, having at its apex
a platform for the exposure of tho instru¬
ments of tho Weather Bureau. Tho Navy
Department will operato a time ball and elec¬
tric search light on the roof of this building.
Ample provision is made for the requisite which
off. ;es, toilet rooms, staircases, etc.,
ii re situated in the projecting pavilions at
tha entrances, thus leaving tho lloor space
available for the exhibits. In the act appro¬
priating the money for the exposition, tha
Government included a clause providing for
tho admission of foreign exhibits tree ot
duty.
President Diaz, of Mexico, has announced
his intention to mike au exhibit of the re¬
sources of that country. There will be also
exhibits from Venezuela, Colombia, Guate¬
mala, Nicaragua, Liberia, Cuba, and, it is
expected, also, from the Congo Free State,
Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Salvador, Cos¬
ta Rica, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, the Argentine
Republic and Brazil.
The architectural idea of Machinery Hall
is that which prevails throughout most of
tlio buildings—tho Romanesque. The build¬
ing is designed to give a great deal of spaco
inside, but little room being taken up bv
stairways an l oin^^. It is sixty-five feet
high. In tho Agricultural Building the
architecture is pyramidal in character.

terior it will bo festooned with Southern
moss and greens. Tne spaces between the

will be covered with bark. A roof prome¬
nade garden, with an area of 26,000 square
feet, will be cne of the features of thi 3 build
iug. Its sides will be formed of palms un i
palmettos.
In tho Woman’s Building thero will be ex¬

Red Hast in Cotlori.
A farmer in Eastern North Caro¬
lina seut us last summer rome cotton
leaves affected, ns he said, by the red
rust. A brief examination showed
that there was no rust at all, that is,
none of the usual fungous growths
commonly called rusts. The leaves
were badly infested with the so-called
“red spider” (Tetranychus tclarius),
one of the mites. The brilliant red
color and almost microscopic size of
the insects, together with their multi¬
tude, gave the leaves, particularly on
the uuder side, a red color. The un¬
healthy condition of the leaves was
due to the attacks of the insects. When
they become numerous under the in¬
fluence of hot and dry weather, they
destroy the vitality of the foliage com¬
pletely, and as a healthy foliage is es¬
sential to growth and productiveness
in any plant, it is evident that they
must give a serious check to the
plants they infect. Close observers of
plant life have often noticed that
plants with weakened vitality soonest
become the prey of insects. While
we cannot control the weather
or the temperature, we can put
our plants from the start in such
a vigorous condition by fertiliza¬
tion and by good culture as to enable
them to resist better the attacks of in¬
sects and fungous diseases. This has
caused some to assert that red rust is
caused by a deficiency of potash in
the soil. While this in one sense is
true, it is not the whole truth. Had
there been an abundance of potash
and other elements of plant food in
the soil the vigorous vitality of the
plants would have enabled them to re¬
sist the influence of the insects until
a change in the weather conditions
would have checked their operations.
Cotton well supplied with kainit and
acid phosphate will undoubtedly stiffer
less from this red rust, not because
potash drives the mites, but because a
fully nourished plant can better over¬
come untoward circumstances than a
weak one can. Therefore the best we
can do is to so encourage the growth
of the plants as to make them resistant
to their attacks. In nenrly all of the
cotton lands of the South Atlantic
Coast the soil is naturyj^Loiicient
in using potash. -kainit Hence /uni. thJHj^^m SW of of
v .
'jm'iaslt' lertfRzers,
dition of phosphoric acid in the
readily accessible form acid phos¬
phate, to give that vigorous growth
which the unaided soil in most places
cannot supply. Some of our best
growlers are of the opinion that red
clover on a sandy soil causes rust in
cotton. This will account for the fact
that on our red clay soils, which are
well adapted to clover, and where in
most seasons it resists the red spider,
no such influence has been observed
on the cotton. The weakened condi¬
tion of the clover on these sandy lands
renders it an easy prey to the attacks
of the mites, and from their profusion
on the clover they may well be charged
with infecting the cotton, The
remedy is evident as in the case of the
cotton itself—invigorate the clover on
these lands in the same way. Clover
is a greedy consumer of potash and
lime, and if these sandy lands are
limed, and well supplied with potassic
fertilizers, clover would find better
conditions, grow more vigorously and
be less infected with insects and hence
not liable to damage the cotton any
more than on the clay lands.—"W. F.
Massey, of N. C. Experiment Station.

The report on the industrial condition of the

the making of she finer grades of cotton goods.
Several additional furnaces are to go into bLst
in the Birmingham district, where the demand
for iron is fairly well maintained. The produc¬

Civil Service Commissioner Proctor
says by the time Mr. Cleveland goes
out of office nearly all government
employes will be under the civil ser¬
vice rules, and then it will be useless
for congressmen to chase about the
departments for offices. Then, he
says, congressmen may devote their
attention to matters of legislation.
Can the house pass Carlisle’s cur¬
rency plan before the Christmas holi
days? is a question which is agitating
the democratic house leaders. ltopre

was approached on the subject and
expressed himself as heartily in favor
of it.
General John C. Black, of Illinois,
a representative in the present con¬
gress, but defeated for the next,has been
provided for by the president. Mr.

commissioner of pensions during Mr.
Cleveland’s first term and ho is the
first of the unfortunates of congress
who are provided for.

A KICK FROM WEAVER.
He Assails the Baltimore Currency
Scheme.
The Rockij Mountain Ncics, of Den¬

Weaver, in which he says:
.2“.“'
apply the methods of the stock ex¬
change, the trust and the board of
trade combined to the entire business
of the country—to authorize the
money sharks to alternate the bull and
bear, to gather to themselves all the
profits of industry. It is an attempt
to transfer, as a gratuity to speculators
the highest attribute of sovereignty—
that of issumg the currency of a great
nation and controlling its volume. A
congress which has its walking papers
is just the kind of a body the money
power delights to toy with.”
Making Presents to Their Victors.
A dispatch to the Central News from
Shanghai says the Chinese at Port Ar¬
thur are making presents to the Japan¬
ese who recently captured that place,
and are giving dramatic performances

The same dispatch says more Chinese
merchants, engaged in the shipping
trade, are transferring their vessels to

A Case of Exactness.
It is well to be captious, but there
nro times when even caution may be
carried to excess. The widow of a Ger¬
man officer went to the pension office
for the purpose of drawing the pension
due her. She presented the usual cer¬
tificate of the mayor of the village in
which she lived, to the effect that elio
was still alive.
“This certificate is not right,” said
the official in charge, severely.
“What is the matter with it?” in¬
quired the poor widow.
“It bears the date of December 21,
was the stern reply, “and your pension
was due on December 15.”
“What kind of a certificate do you
wish?” inquired the disappointed ap¬
plicant.
“We must have a certificate stating
that you were alive on the 15th of De¬
cember,” said the official, with great
firmness. “Of what possible use is
this one that says you were alive
the 21st of December—six days later?”

The Greatest Hedical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY’S
Medical Discovery.
DONALD KENNEDY, of ROXBURY, MASS.
Got this Letter day before yesterday.
Penn Tan, 2V. Y., Nov. 28,1894.
lour Discovery has done so much for
me lam only too glad to tell everybody
about my case.
When I began taking it, one year ago
last July, I had DYSPEPSIA in its
■worst form. I was constipated, so much
so as to always use injections, and I had
a constant PAIN in my STOMACH
and LEFT SIDE. My knees were stiff,
and I could not sit dozen on a stool or
get down to fix anything on the floor.
Put now I can sit. or get down on my
knees, or do anything in my garden. I
feel like a new person. You must know
I was discouraged, as 1 have lost two
sisters and an older brother with
STOMACH TR0 UBLE. But I truly
believe if they had known of your
remedies they would be well, as / am.
You can fix up my letter to suit yourself,
only do publish it, that women may
know what the Discovery has done for
me. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARY C. AYRES.

THE BUSINESS MAN’S LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.
Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this i*
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse-power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will “bolt" his food in a few min¬
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
Stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets front the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak ami “ready
to break,” because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at¬
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of tlte of common and sense in the
treatment stomach the whole
system brings to the busv man the full en¬
joyment of life Fierce’s and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Fierce’s Golden
vitalize Medical Discovery blood. The to purify, enrich and
the " Pellets ” are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen¬
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only biliousness, bo taken
for a short time to cure the
constipation and slothfulness, “Medical or Discovery” torpor, of
the liver; then the
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in¬
crease the blood and enrich it. It Ins a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time, The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves arc vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
—but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi¬
gestion, dyspepsia, which nervousness, from impure and blood any
of the ills come
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.
