DOTS VISIT.
‘•1, for one, intend going,” said
little Dot Wycliffe, with a determin
ed look In her eye, which causes
papa to stnile behind the morning
paper and to say to me, in an under
tone, that the cl.fld is going to stand
up for her righta at last.
A warm discussion had been go
ing on in our family this morning,
caused by a letter from Uncle
Charles Wycliffe, in which he asks
if one or two of the girls can he
spared to him for a few we 'ks.
N< w, let me tell you about Uncle
Charles: He is papa's elder brother,
and, consequently, came first in in
heriting a vast property which de
scended from Ids grandfather, and
now he has bought a summer resi
dence at a beautiful country spot,
and wants two of his nieces to help
him entertain the host of people he
has invited to stay during the sum
mer.
“I think Helen had better go, for
one,” says mamma, who is sitting
witli a troubled look on h'w face, for
she knows that everyone oi her five
daughters will put in a plea to go.
I am Helen, the oldest of these
troublesome daughters and being
the oldest have hail to watch and,
cure for the others, as mother has
very poor health and cannot have
all 'he household duties devolve
upon her.
The talk of my going at first caus
es a frown on three faces (for, as Dot'
has never bee', refused anything in
her life, they have made up their
minds to her going); but mother
to As the girls, in her own quiet way
that Helen has not been looking
well lately, on account of sewing so
constantly, and that she wants her
to brighten up and look better he-
'Ve Tom takes possession of her in
th ■ fall, tiny reluctantly consent to
\njy gointr.
j > Although 18 her next birthday,
Dot seems just as much of a child
as she was when she wore her little
ruill si aprons and went to the vil
lage school; there the torment and
pet of all her teachers and the queen
among her schoolmates; even now
she has complete control over papa.
“Yes, l intend going,” she contin
ues, with a saucy little gesture, as if
we were disputing with her; “but,
daddy dear, do you know I haven’t
any clothes fit to take with me?—
unless Bess and Nan will loan me
their best.”
This last is said as a bright after
thought, hut before Bess and Nan
have had time to consider the enor
mity of the favor to be granted Dot
has thought of another plan and has
walt/.etl over to have a canfidential
chat with mamma.
“Tlie very thing,” we hear her
say, after a few minutes’ conversa
tion. “Helen can make over that
. blue for me, and the plaid silk for
herself, and with that we have al
ready we will get along nicely.”
The blue and plaid silks are to
come from an old trunk, where
mother had stowed them away, for
they had belonged to her when in
her young days she donned them
and touched Papa WycUffe’s heart.
During the next two weeks the
dresses are made to Dot’s satisfac
tion, and on the morning of the 30th
of June the eastward-bound train

poor daddy behind. This is Dot.

“Allowing me the pleasure of in
troducing my two nieces, Rodney.
Girls, this is Mr. St. John, who, I be
lieve, is one of your neighbors,”
says Uncle Charles the morning af
ter onr arrival.
So nils is ltodDey St. John, who
at last has come home from hi
. vanderings in the old world, and
will now probably improve that
grand old home of his, which has
been going to waste the last fifteen
years. Yes, he is telling Dot now
that he is thinking of making that
his home in the future,and the child
is a^iually saying that she is on
quite intimate terms with his pres
ent housekeeper.
**M r. St. John, you have not seen
around these beautiful grounds yet,
so if you come with me now I will
act as guide,” says a young lady
whom Uncles Charles had called
Miss Reed.
“I should be very happy to derso,
and especially with such a charm-
,g companion,” replied Mr. St.
ihn on their way out of the break-
ast-room.

From the drift of the conversation
now I imagine that Mr. St. John
and Miss Reed are considered as
each other’s property.
Mr. St. John and Dot seem on
very intimate terms; it anuoys me
s. greatly, for if he Ls engaged to Miss
Reed I would not like to have him
steal our little Sunbeam’s heart
K away.

K Charles, meeting me in the halL “I

want to see if she will go with me
over to the gardener’s.”
“Indeed, I do not know; I have
not seen her for an hour or t wr,” I
made reply.
“Helen, I think we have all been
mistaken in regard to St. John and
Miss Reed. He quietly hinted last
night, while out on the piazza smok
ing, that he would like a mistress
for his house, and that if he could by
any means induce a certain little
lady not far ftom the house to come
over he would he very happy.
“As I politely told him a good
while ago that this October would
see you Mrs. Tom Morris, I suppose
it is the little Dot he means,” and,
leaving me to gather up my scatter
ed ideas, be departs.
Oh dear, where is Dot? If she
were here I could surely find out
chat she thinks of Mr. St. John.
As if in answer In this she comes
inuncing in all out of breath and,
inking into an easy chair, exhibits
foot berelt of slipper.
“Where in the world have you
ecu, and where is your slipper!” I
xelaim, thinking the child has sud-
enly lost her senses.
“Down in the cherry trees, mi«s
s the answer m y-ur first question;
ind Mr. St.John has my slipper,
the answer to your last,” and then,
as if she had controlled a laugh as
long as she could, peal after peal re
sounds through the room.
“Now, I’ll tell you all about it,’*
she says, puckering up her mouth
and saying “prunes” before she be
gins. She had told me before this
that Miss Reed, who scarcely ever
;nt beyond a smile, always looked
s if she said prunes to keep her
south straight. “I climbed up into
lie cherry tree to read, and to eat a
ew cherries, of course, and just as I
rot fairly settled what should my
Jd slipper do but slip off my loot
tnd fall clear down. Indeed, I ae-
ually thought it was going to search
■'or the root of that tree, but it took
i notion to stop on the grass, and
is I thought it was safe there until
I came down I didn’t go after it;
hut, oh,dear, I wish 1 had, for Mr.
■it, John came along a little while
ifter and picked it up and looked at
t so closely that I thought he would
isk it where its mate was, and then
t would surely have pointed up the
ree.
“He says: ‘I guess she has been
•itting reading here, with her slip
per off, and has gone home without
it, though how she could have for-
rotten it is a mystery to me.’
“I know he meant Miss Reed, and
iow what will I do, for he put it in
lis pocket, and when he goes to
rive it to her she will say that it
loesn’t belong to her, aud he will
find out that I climbed that tree,
ind, dear, dear, I wish I was at
lome.”
I can see that Dot has no suspi-
■ion in regard to Mr. St. John’s feel-
ngs toward her, and I haven’t the
teart to enlighten her on the sub
ject.
“And now, how do you like me?’’
ays Dot that evening. ’Tis the on-
iy time she has worn the light-blue
<ilk, and I know she will be eclipsed
iy none at the party.
“You loot pretty well, dear,” !
nake reply, straightening a loop
lere and a flounce there, the better
o feast my eyes upon her remarka-
>le beauty.

The music has begun and I see
itodney St. John take my sister into
the conservatory. I can do nothing
•Ise but wait. An hour passes be-
ore they apperr, but I know from
the shy light in Dot’s eyes and the
proud look on Mr. St. John’s face
that it his all been settled to their
satisfaction.
“And to think,” says Dot to me,
■vlien we went to our room, “it was
t lie was talking about under the
tree, and I thought it-was Miss
Reed; but she is engaged to a cousin
-if his, and that’s what makes her so
fond of Rodney.”

causes of fire in New York within
die last few months. One woman
let a roast get on fire in the oven,

kitchen floor. The fire in a smoke
house got so hot that the hams and
sides of bacon blazed up, and the
flames poured out of the doors aud

Slacking lime fired one building.
In twenty-sevefl cases the flames
burst spontaneously from piles of
rags or rubbish, fifteen of the piles
being oily rags. In two cases some
men carelessly exposed some phos
phorus to the air so that- it Mazed.
Sulphur was fired in another case
while workmen were handling it.
The friction of machinery fired two
different shops.

A Day of Little Things.
Mary Lee rose early, aud remein
bering her mother's headache of
yesterday, stole softly to the nurse
ry to see if Robin was awake.
Yes, indeed, a veritable “wake”
robin was he, cooing in his little
••rib, and greatly admiring a pink
toe which had peeped out below his
night-dress. She caught him up
and carried him below, where she
kept him amused and quiet, till the
family gathered for breakfast. Her
mother’s bright eyes and rested
look, when she came in, were thanks
enough, even without her bow—
‘You were thoughtful to let me get
■ny sleep, dear!” as she took Robin
from his sister’s arms.
Mr. Lee was a fidgety man, and
hat morning his muffin was burn-
si. He discovered it just as
Iridget entered with a fresh plate-
ul.
“These muffins are very poor,
vife!” he said sharply, at which the
irl’s faze grew red and wrathful.
“Ah! but the coffee’s delicious!”
ried Mary instantly. “And these
resh muffins are much nicer—aren’t
hey, father ?”
At this Bridget’s frown lightened,
md she turned a grateful glance up-
•n the child, while Mr. Lee, a little
ishamed, said more softly:
“Yes, yes, I thihk so—Bridget’s
nuffins are usually tip-top!” at
vhich the girl, who had been prom
sing herself to give immediate no
ice of leaving, went out quite mol-
ified.
After breakfast Mary had just
eated herself for a good time with
i fresh piece of Kensington, when
he noticed her father peering anx-
-lusly and hurriedly about. With
t, quiet smile she rose, found the
classes he was constantly losing,
■rushed his hat, and started him off
n time for his car—returning his
‘Thank you, bright eyes!” as he
mstened off, with a merry kiss
brown at him from the upper step.
She had just turned in again when
Jridget’s distressed face peered
ibove the basement stairs.
“Oh, honey!” she coaxed, “could
:ou go jist around the corner and
;et-a leetle soap for the washing?
’in out entirely;” and Mary went
without a grumble, though “jist
• round the corner” meant four
dock at least-
While hurrying home, before the
mn should get too scorching, she
:et found time to pick up a little
fellow whom some rude boy had
cnocked down, set him on his fat
’egs again, and brush off the dirt
ind tears in so motherly a way that
the bruised little heart was comfort-
id.
Tn sight of home again, she saw
ireeise Miss Templeton stalking up
he steps for a morning call, and
celing by instinct that mother
vould be in her loose wrapper dress-
ngbaby—to save her trepidation
he tripped lightly up the door, ush-
red the lady in, engaged her atten-
ion over a new folio of engravings,
nd then (first -quieting Bridget
vith the soap) raced up to the nur-
sry. hustled her mother into a fresh
.tmbric, and herself took Robin—
leftly finishing his bath and then
•eking him to sleep.
After lunch, the lovely embroid-
ry pattern called her powerfully,
•ut she put it resolutely by again
or a visit to Nanny Hale, who had
•een shut in the house with a low
ever all through the beautiful blos-
oining time, this year. Reraem-
icring Nanny’s love of beauty she
ven stopped to don her best dress
nd make herself as nice as for a
•arty, trudging bravely off through
he hot sun to her friend’s house.
But- ail trouble was repaid by Nan-
ly’s rapturous greeting.
“Oh, I have been so lonesome!”
-he cried. “Do tell me everything
hat is going on out of doors—it
looks so lovely through the win-
low.”
Mary laughed gaily as she moved
ter hat.
“So you don’t care for my dress
that I wore just to please you!”
“Yes, I do. It is very pretty.
How you do think of everything,
Mary! No one else would take
pains to wear their best, just to
please my tired eyes,” and Nanny
sighed.
But Mary would not let her be
sad, and told her so many funny
things that Nanny was soon laugh
ing heartily. As she left, Mrs. Hale
followed her to the door.
“Come again,” she said, urgently,
“you are better than medicine!”
And yet that evening, as Mary
elosed the book she had been fad
ing, she heaved so doleful a sigh
that her mother looked up in
alarm.
“Oh, mother!” she said, in answer
to that inquiring glance, “I do get
so discouraged with my own life
when I read of these heroic women.
Now te-day, for instance, how I
have frittered it away! It seems as
if I had been busy enough; but after
aH, what have I accomplished?
Jnst a mess of little things—and
not even one flower on my embroid
ery!”
“You have wrought a good many
flowers to-day, Mary,” said her
mother softly, “and imperishable
ones, too, I hope. Is it nothing to
have made so many people happy,
even in little things ?”
“Why, mother, whom have I made
happy ?
“All of us at home, dear—and
Nanny, too, I think, from what I
hear; but best of all, my child, you
have pleased your heavenly Father;
and all your heroic women togeth
er could not do more than that!”
Pain.
Pain being the result of too much
blood in a part, as a very general
rule, the remedy, in severe and pres
sing cases, is to apply a mustard-
plaster near that part,'which draws
the blood away, as is seen by the
reddening of the skin.
The most agonizing pains are
often removed in the twinkling of
an eye by dipping a bit of cloth
(woolen or cotton), in a mixt
ure of equal parts of sweet oil chlo
roform, and strong spirits of harts
horn just shaken togather and spread
over the spot, with a hankchief
wadded in the hand and held over
the cloth so as to retain the more
volatile ingredients, to be removed
the moment the pain ceases.
The safest and most, comfortable
application in nature for the relief
of all pain, especially that arising
from inflammation, is a woolen
cloth kept very warm, even hot, by
the steady addition of hot water, or
a stream of warm water, where the
painful part admits it. When pain
s severe, sharp or thrilling there is
inflammation, and arises from there
being too much blood in the arteries;
if full and heavy, it is caused from
there being too much biood in the
veins.
The pain of inflammation gives
heat; hence, headache with a hot
head is from too much blood In the
arteries, and there is throbbing;
draw it away by putting the feet
in very hot water; this often re
moves pain in any part of the body
above the ankles.
No disease ever comes without a
cause or without a warning; hence,
endeavor to think back for the
cause, with a view to avoid it in the
future, and on the instant of any
unpleasant bodily sensation cease
eating absolutley until it has en
tirely disappeared, at least for
twenty-four hours; if still remaining
consult a physician.
The more clothing a man wears,
the more bed clothing he uses, the
closer he keep to his chamber,
whether warm or cold, the more
he confines himself to the house,
the more numerous and warm his
night garments, the more, readily
will he takecold, under all circum-
tances, as the more a thriftless
youth is helped the less able does he
become to help himself.
When there is too much blood in
the veins of the hand there is a dull
pain or great depression of spirits,
and the feet are al ways cold. It is
this excess of blood in the veins of
the head or brain which always
produces the despondency which so
frequently causes suicide. When
this is attemped by catting the
throat the relief is instantaneous,
and the wouldbe victum become
anxious for the life he has just at
tempted to destroy. Hence, a good
out door walk or a hot bath,a suden
fit of laughter ora terrible burst of
passion’ by dispersing the blood to
the surface from the centres, puts
the blues and megrims to flight also.
The Southern Cultivator.
We have received the September
number of The Southern Cultivatorp
We find this valuable agricultural
monthly continues to improve, and
it is, certainly, doing a good work
for the farming interests of the
South. Its popularity is unprece
dented and we must think deserv
edly so. Farmers in all section
are availing themselves of its h*»lp
and instruction. All questions con
nected with the business and inter
ests of the farm are fully and intel
ligently discussed;in answer to di
rect inquires many suggestions are
made as to the management of the
details of the farm. Legal questions
bearing upon real estate, contracts
and other practical business mat
ters discussed from time to time
‘and the smaller industries, dairy
ing, bee culture, etc., etc, are prop
erly prominent features of the Cul
tivator. The prize essay in this
number on. “Intensive Farming”
is fine reading and contains maDy
valuable suggestions. This we un
derstand, is to be followed by other
prize essays on important subjects
and farmers will do well to avail
themselves of the instruction given
in this valuable paper by sending
$1,50 to the Cultivator Publishing

Some Famous Did Maids.
El'zebelh of Englaud was one of
the most illustrious of modern sov
ereigns. Her rule over Great Brit
ain certainly comprises the most
brilliant literary age of the English-
speaking people. Her p ilitical
acumen was certainly put to as
severe test as that of any other rul-
>*r the iworid ever saw. It was this
woman’s writings that first suggest
ed the thought of writing similarly
to Sir Walter Scott. Her brain
might well be called the mother of
theWaverly novels. Jane Porter
lived and died an old maid. The
children of her busy brain were
“Tly*ldpus of Warsaw,” and “The
Scottish Chiefs,” which have moved
the hearts of millions with excite
ment and tears. Joanna Bailiie,
poet and play-writef was. “One of
>em.” Florence Nightingale, most
gracious lady, heroine of Inker-
mann and Ralkaklava hospitals,
has to the present written “Miss”
be fore her name. The man should
marry her might well crave to take
the name of Nightingale. Sister
Dora, the brave spirit of English
pest-houses, whose story is as a
helpful evangel, was the bride of
the world’s sorrow only. And then
what names could the writer and
reader add of those whom the great
world may not know, and the little
world of the village, the church,
the family know and prize beyond
all words!
“Dixie.”
The September number of this new
and elegant Southern periodical
will eontai fi a sensational article on
the “Negro Question in the South’
by the Rev. R. W. Memminger, of
Charleston, S. C. He touches up
George W. Cable, defies the past
and present status of the negro and
predicts what the future will be.
This article will be the literary sen
sation of the month.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, of Penn
sylvania, contributes an able article
on the Tariff, and Col. I. W. Avery
continues his valuable papers on
“The Natural Resources of Georgia.”
The second paper on the “Forests of
Dixie,” by Charles .H. Wells and
Clement Mason’s Illustrated “Bits
of Virginia Scenery,” will be of gen
eral interest. Paul Hamilton Hayne
‘The* Modern Horace,” will give a
poem which the publishers present
in fae-simile of the author’s hand
writing, thus giving each purchaser
of Dixie a valuable souvenir of “our
greatest Southern poet” Charles
W. Buhner contributes an exquisite
poem, “War and Peace.”
Rev. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, president
of Emory College, writes upon tech
nical training.
P. J. Moran, of Atlanta, gives an
interesting account of the life of

A Hot Well.
Recently a well was dug at Cian-
tcnAla.. for the purpose of supplying
a saw mill near our depot with
water. At a depth of thirty feet
water was reached, but the supply
not being sufficient, the proprietor
cf the mill decided to go deeper.
He stoped at the depth of fifty feet,
for he found it impossible to go
further, the stream of water reached
at that depth being as hot as sheoi
seventy times heated, The water is
not warm, but is hot, being 1620 deg.
Fahrenheit, which is two degrees
hotter than the water of ’he famous
Arkansas Hot Springs. An analysis
shows that it possesses medicinal
properties identical with those of
the Arkansas spring. Bathing in
and drinking the water has brought
about number of remarkabe cures of
paraiysi.->,rheumatism, scrofula, Ac.,
and the wonderful freak of nature
has caused a boom in real estate in
this vicinity. The well is fifty feet
d°ep and has twenty feet of water.
It is likely to prove a bonanza to the
owner; and is bringing large num
bers of the afflicted from all portions
of the State to town. Some of the
cures effected have been wonderful.
The proprietor wjll not sell a half
interest in the well for less than
*25,000.
We are indebted to Pompeii for
our great industry of canned fruits.
Years ago when the excavations
were begining a party of Americans
found in what had been the pantry
of a house, many jars of preserved
figs. One was opened, and they
were found to be fresh and good.
Investigation showed that the figs
had been pnt into jars in a heatod
state, an apertue being left for the
steam to escape, and then sealed
with wax. The hint was taken, and
soonafter fruit canning was intro
duced here, the process being ident
ical with that in vogue at Pampeii
twenty centuries ago. inhere are
many ladies among us who can to
matoes and preaches for domestic
use, and do not realize that they are
in debted for this art to the people
of Pompeii.
