Under the heading, “Respect Shown
Fair Voters,” the Memphis Commercial
thus describes a significant scene that
lately took place near that city:
A novel spectacle which has heretofore
escaped comment occurred at the recent
election held in Fort Pickering. The
election was for the purpose of deciding
whether the town of New South Mem
phis should be created. Under the law
it was claimed that women who owned
real estate in the territory out of which
the proposed town was to be made were
competent voters. Acting under the
advice of a lawyer of Memphis, the
judges of the election and the sheriff de
cided to receive such votes. Shortly
after the polls were opened two widows
came up to the excited, howling crowd
of men, and after learning that then
right to vote had been conceded cast
their ballots against the incorporation.
As they walked up to where the votes
were being received it was noticeable
how instinctively and respectfully the
men feU back and gave them the right
of way. This was done by negroes and
whites, by drunken and sober men, by
toughs and gentlemen, and without any
request or command from any one.
Throughout the day there were as
many as twenty-five votes cast by women
in this election, and the same respect
was shown every one of them as was
shown the first two. Of the twenty-five
two were negresses, one of these quite
an elderly woman and the other young
To each respectful way whs given, and
though the election was one of the most
exciting ever held in the county, though
men were drinking and fighting about
the polls and swearing and cursing, yet
whenever a woman came forward there
was an immediate hush and quiet. It
was also noticeable that all the votes
cast by these ladies were cast upon the
economy side—that is, againsjt corpora
tion and increased taxes.
In the new town of >,fiarriman, Tenn.,
women have municipal suffrage. At the
last election there the newspapers noted
the fact that when the, ladies came up to
vote the men receiVed, them with lifted
hats, and even showed a disposition to
cheer. Despite the mournful predictions
of conservatives, the chivalry for which
American men are famous does not Beem
utterly to desert them upon the approach
of a woman to a ballot box.

lying in a camphor chost for six months.
Why. somo of this fur is so flattened that
it actually looks as if it were moth
eaten.”
If a furrier has had charge of the furs
during the summer they are all right
now, for a dealer has every convenience
for cleaning and keoping furs, but if the
home mother has taken them into her
own keeping she will no doubt be glad at
this time to learn how her treasures may
be renovated and made as “good as new.”
Ermine and sealskin are best cleaned
with soft flannel. Rub the fur delicately
against the grain, and when it has been
thoroughly lifted and reversed, so to
;pealc, dip the flannel into common flour
md rub lightly any spots that look dark
or dirty. Shake the fur well and rub
with a clean, dry flannel until the flout
is all removed.
Sable, chinchilla, squirrel and monkey
skin may be very nicely cleaned with hot
bran. Get a small quantity of bran
meal and heat it in the oven until it is
quite warm. Rub stiffly into the fur and
leave for a few minutes before shaking
to free it from the bran.
Miuk may he cleaned and freshened
with warm commeal, and, like the other
short haired furs, may be done without
removing the lining. But the long haired
furs are best ripped apart and freed from
stuffing and lining.—New York World.
Cleaning Furs.
Notwithstanding the old idea that re
ally good furs .will,wear forever, the
owner of a nice sealskin jacket or a fine
ermine cape cannot repress a sigh of dis
appointment when she looks at her furs
for the first time since their long summer
seclusion.’
“It may be true,” sighs she, “that my
furs wiU never wear out, but it is equally
true that the? look vex? shabby after
Instead of Monograms.
Dorothy Maddox writes that mono
grams are rapidly going out, for the
bright ones of earth have hit upon a
mode of marking their belongings, which
is as dainty and chic as one could wish.
Every girl has a birthday blossom. In
selecting it her choice is of course con
fined to the flowers which bloom in her
natal month, any one of which she may
claim as her own especial blossom. This
becomes a comparatively easy task to
the damsel whose birthday falls in the
months when Flora reigns supreme. But
the maiden fair who must adopt this
pretty fashion under the sovereignty of
King Frost is compelled to give the mat
ter a good deal of consideration before
making a decision.
Once having chosen a floweret, how
ever, she hastens to bring it into use in
a dozen or more charming ways. The
monogram is discarded from her hosiery,
linen, etc., and its place is taken by the
birthday blossom, which appears in the
daintiest embroideries.
The fancy, a taking one, is as decora
tive as it is useful. Some girls have their
birthday flower stamped upon their let
ter paper, and this offers an opportunity
for a great-many unique ideas. She who
claims the violet orders a cluster of the
tiny blooms to be placed in one comer
of her violet tinted papetrie; the owner
of the rose uses rosy hued paper as a
background for her blossom, and so on.
—Boston Globe.
Saving Seed Com.
It should be selected while husking,
before severe freezing takes place. Corn
intended for seed ought to be thoroughly
dried and seasoned through and placed
where it will not be exposed to moisture
or extreme c.old. This is the best time of
the year to change seed, if the kind you
are growing is not suited to your locality.
A change of soil is important (from
heavy to light soils, and vice versa), hut
not a change of climate, unless perhaps
from a colder to a warmer.
As a rule, save only such ears as are
nearly true to type, well filled at tips
and butts and fully matured. Always
save the bast ear from stalks bearing
two or more, when the ears are large
and perfect; otherwise there is doubtful
benefit in it, as like produces like often
enough to demonstrate that one good,
big, well filled ear on a stalk is better
than two or three small, imperfect ones;
besides so much depends on the methods
of the grower. Where thin seeding is
the practice, prolific habits are best.
The more ears the better. Where much
stover is allowed to grow, if the stalks
will produce one good eat the grower
should be satisfied.
The old fashioned way of leaving a
few husks on the ear and hanging up by
them is a good, safe way. An enter
prising Yanl }« has invented a wire ej r e
screw to turn into the pith at the butts
and then string on a small wire, then
hanging them np. Any one can cut
Bnort pieces of wire and bend into such
form as will make them stay in the cob !
and hang up in same wav. — Ohio!

Tlie Hole Disgusted.
Dr. J. P. Stelle says in the Fort Worth
Gazette that he has always been able to
drive moles away from his garden by a
very simple method, now to be described.
Open small holes in the tunnels here and
there and pour in a little cheap molasses.
The molasses gums the fur of the animal,
engenders disgust and causes it to trans
fer its operations to more cleanly local
ities. Coal tar would probably be better
than molasses, though more expensive
and less convenient. One good applica
tion of the molasses has usually driven
the moles away for the sedson.
Remedy for Weevil in the Granary.
Bisulphide of carbon—about one pound
to a ton of grain—is the best and most
convenient material for the purpose. As
the liquid is exceedingly volatile it does
not need a force pump for its applica
tion, but may be simply placed in an
open vessel on top of the grain in a tight
granary. Exposure to the air removes
all disagreeable odor, and no injury is
done to .the grain.—Country Gentleman.

Spreading Ashes in Winter.
At the Rhode Island experiment sta
tion a portion, of an old sheep fiaature
was plowed and seeded with a mixture
of timothy and redtop iu 1890. In the
following winter and spring it was fer
tilized with Canada ashes for the purpose
of making a comparison between winter
and spring applications of ashes to new
ly seeded meadows, and to determine
whether any loss would result from
wasliiug while the ground was frozen.
The soil is a light sandy loam, and the
ashes were hauled directly from tbe car
and spread from the cart upon the field
when the ground was frozen and covered
with four inches of snow. i
The field is very level, and two plots
of one-fifth acre each were selected and
staked out side by side. Upon the west
plot on Jan. 6 half a tou of ashes was
spread upon the snow as evenly as possi
ble, and a corresponding half ton of
ashes placed in barrels in a dry store
house for application to the east plot in
the spring. The spring application was
made April 10, the ground being free
from frost, but soft from the spring
rains,, and to prevent cutting up the
field the ashes had to be applied by hand
from baskets. '
The very dry weather of May and
June shortened the crop materially, but
the grass was cut June 10, and the
weight of well cured hay upon the two
plots determined as follows: West plot—
Yield of field cured hay per acre from
winter application, 1,906 pounds. East
plot—Yield of / field cured hay per
acre from spring application, 1,497
pounds, showing a gain of 409 pounds
per acre, or 27 per cent., in favor of the
winter application, to which can weU
be added the economy of labor in doing
the work while the ground is frozen and
other work is not pressing. I
Worthy of Note.
Milk that is to be carried any distance
before being set ought always tp be
aerated—that is, aired and cooled dowr
before starting. It will keep aweel
longer aud retain its best flavor. Ax
elevated strainer is a good aerator. Be
careful, however, to do the aerating ins
clean place, free fro n foul odors; aerate
and then cool.
