SOME THINGS Wi; NEVER SEE.
A sheet from the bed of a river,
A tongue fr m the mouih of a stream,
A toe from the foot of a mountain,
And a page from a volume of steam,
A wiuk from the eye of a needle,
A nail from the finger of fate,
A plume from ibe wing of an army,
-And a drink at the bar of <t gra e.
A hair from the head of a ha" mer,
A bite from the teeth of a saw.
A race on the course of study,
And a joint from the limb of the law.
A check that is drawn on a sand-bank,
Some fr .it from the jamb of a door.
A WORD TO OUR PEOPLE'S
PARTY FRIENDS.
The editor of The Liberal-Enter
prise has looked upon the people's
party movement in Georgia from
its incipiency, as a very foolish
piece of business. It was and is
wholly impracticable. We have
not seen fit to abuse, or call by
hard nameg, the men who went in’o
it, because a large majority of them
were perfectly honest in the
step they took. They listened to
unwise counsel from unsafe advis
ers. Some of the leaders were as
nonest as their deluded followers;
some were not. Had the advise of
‘•onservative aliiancemen been
heeiied the grand organization
would not now be disrupted and
practically disbanded as it is.
There was no need of any third par
ty in Georgia The farmers con
trolled the democratic party and
they could gain nothing by slab
bing off, Had every alliancemao
in the state joined the third party
it would st.il have been in the min
triiv. As long as aliiancemen re 1
mained in and acted with the dem
ocratic party they had the syn.pa
in es iid co-operation ol thousands
oi non-alltancemen. When a few
Alliance leaders undertook to organ
iz -a new party a large minority
t not a majority, of their brother
ailunceiuen refused to follow them
md the sympathies of the non-ai
nance friends were lost. The belief
•Ia few enthusiasts of the new par
\V that the Negroes would join them
en masse was a chimerical and silly
as many others of their visionary
ideas, We said so to some of them
nut they smiled at our simple in
credulity. Tuey must be convinced
oy the lesults of last w ek’s election
mat we were correct. One trouble
with our friends of the third party
has been that they were taught by
most of their leaders to look upon
all alliaucemen who doubted the
wisdom of anew party movement
as traitors. It was impossible to
reason with many of them on this
account. By some means they
had got the id*a that they were
going to ‘‘sweep the Arid" and rel
egate to oblivan all (every alhance
man especially) who did not join
them. And, by the way, we want
io remark just here that this word
‘‘traitor" has been completely “run
in the ground’' by a certain class
of alhametnen. A year ago they
were hurling the epithet in car
load lots at every mau who was
not ready to swear eternal fealty
to Col Livingston, Harry Brown
and Larry Gantt, Now they are
norling it iu whole train load lots
at Livingston, Brown and Gantt f
their former idols. They are too
impeteous, too “hot headed,’' too
unreasonable, too quick to jump at
conclusions and too unwilling to
believe auybody honest who does
not exactly agree with them in
every thing. We write this in a
spirit of kindness and respect not
to give offense. We know where
of we write because we have “been
through the mill," And now that
the breach has been made let's go
lo l ‘ork to beal it. We can do so
by a spirit of conversation but not
by intollerence. Frown down the
men who cry traitor at all who dif
fer with them; yield gracefully
when in ‘.he ininmtv ; get together
and stay together where you “can
do the must good,” In union there
is 3 rength, in division there can be
only defeat and disaster. Reforms
can not be wrought out in a day.
neither tan they be wrought out by
rash and impetuous leaders.

profession ot journalism by writing a

couldn’t accept anything in less

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Carefully Selected Matter for
the Domestic Circle.
Nanie-Sickness a Common Complaint
Among Brides— Progressive Conver
sation Party—Hints for the Heated
Season.
“It’s an old htint with th© nov
elists to tell how young women
when in love never fail at a certain
juncture to double bolt their room
doors, and with uany flushes and
heart-beatings write down their
Christian name .oupled with the
surname of the man whom they
have promised or hope to marry,”
commented a young married
woman lately ’vended to a fine man
of her choice, soys the “Illustrated
American.”
“I suppose it is the way with
many sentimental girls, though I
underwent a very different emo
tion, of which I don’t believe men
have any comorehension, but
which I find is not peculiar in my
case. I mean grief of having to
give up one’s maiden name.
“All the time I was engaged I
never made any thought for the
day on which I was to drop my
own nice surname and title, for
which I had such a deep affection,
and be addressed by my family,
my friends and people to whom I
was introduced by an entirely dif
ferent one.
“For the first few days after my
marriage even I scarcely noticed
the change, but one day there sud
deny came over me a curious little
lonesome feeling. It seemed sc
chilly and formal, so unlike myself,
to be addressed as ‘Mrs.’ at every
hand, and never to hear my own
dear original name.
“The more I thought over the
matter, the more despairing I
became. Never, never could I
hear the old familiar ‘Miss’ when
anybody addressed me.
“Thereupon I actually bolted
myself in my room and wept so
long and bitterly from pure name
sickness that my husband besought
me tearfully through the key-hole
to tell him what was wrong.
“He was very much hurt when
I explained the cause of my grief,
but when I brought him to a reali
zation of my loss, he grew sympa
thetic, and do you believe me, for
a long time he '“ailed me by my
maiden name. That wore off with
the honeymoon, however, but even
to this day I remember my los*
name.”
Progressive Conversations-
A progressive conversation party
is a fresh device by which enter
tainers endeavor to prevent theii
guests from dropping to the depths
of plain conversation. The chairs
are arranged through the rooms in
conversation pairs. On entering
each guest selects a numbered card
from a basket in the hall, the
women picking from one basket,
the men from another. Every
woman selects one of the pair of
chairs, and the man who held a
corresponding number becomes her
companion for the opening tete-a
tete, whose subject is duly an
nounced when all are ready.
Every three minutes a bell sounds,
and the man moves on to the next
woman, and the subject is changed
and the tongues wag again or
“eyes discourse most eloquent.”
No conversation across groups is
allowed, and all conversation must
be in a sufficiently low tone not to
distract the attention of others.
When love, marriage, travel, the
drama, the weather et al. have
been duly discussed, an excuse foi
the inevitable prize is found as fol
lows: Every one writes on a slip
of paper the three subjects he has
found most interesting, and the
award goes to the one whose list is
made up of the three winning
topics. Twenty to twenty - five
subjects make a sufficiently long
Ust.
Ice Water Without Ice.
Here is a way to get ice-cold
water in places where there is no
ice. Wrap a jug—a porous jug,
one of those common earthenware
things—in flnanel—wet flannel;
wrap it all round, leaving no place
exposed to the air; place it, filled
with water —or with claret-cup.
which some sinners prefer to water
—in an open window exposed to aL’
the air there is. Keep the flanne
wet. In an hour the contents of
that jug will be almost as cool as if
they had been iced.
Disinfectants-
One of the simplest disinfectants
of a sickroom is ground coffee
burnt on a shovel so as to fill the
atmosphere of the room with its
pungent aromatic odor. If two
red-hot coals are placed on a fire
shovel, and a teaspoonful of ground
coffee is sprinkled over them at a
time, using three teaspoonsful in
all, it will fill the room with its
aroma, and is said to have the
hygienic effect of preventing the
spread of various epidemic diseases.
The odor is very agreeable and
soothing to a sick person, where
other disinfectants prove disagree*
able. Physicians who doubt the
power of coffee a* a disinfectant,
frequently recommend jt as_ a
deodorizer, and it is certainly’ one
of the best and most agreeable.
Most of the expensive disinfectants
sold in the shops have no special
power as such, but are simply’
deodorizers, the two being fre
quently confounded. It is best,
however, to obtain from a physi
cian in cases of dangerous epi
demics something that will cer
tainly destroy’ the germs of the
disease, as well as deodorize the
room.
Warm Weather Drinks.
Egg Lemonade. Separate
four eggs, beat first the whites,
then add the yolks and beat lightly;
dissolve one cup of sugar in a pint
of cold water, add to it the juice of
four lemons and then a small
quantity of cracked ice; stir the
eggs carefully into this and use at
once.
Currantade.— Mash one box
of ripe, red currants with a box of
raspberries; add one cup of loaf
sugar- stir until the sugar is dis
solved; add two quarts of ice-cold
water; strain, and it is ready b
serve.
This is a Busy Woman.
Mrs. Emma Drew of South
Norridgewock, Me., carries on a
farm, keeps a horse and cow, makes
butter for market and sells eggs,
besides doing her housework and
caring for five little children. After
her household duties are completed
in the morning she puts up the
dinners for the children, harnesses
the horse, taking two of her chil
dren, and drives to Martin Stream,
where she has a school of seven
teen children that she teaches
every day in the week but Satur
day. She is also engaged in can
vassing for different publications,
and her spare moments are prob
ably spent in making flannel shirts
for the heathens in Africa. She
's about forty years of age.
Hints to Housekeepers.
New cheese doyles are fringed,
and little white mice, embroidered
in floss silk, scamper over them.
Tar may be removed from either
hands or clothing by rubbing well
with lard and then thoroughly
washing with soap and water.
Dotted muslin, made the size of
the window frame, are the best
curtains for summer bedrooms, as
they are so easily kept clean and
are very dainty as well when tied
back with pretty ribbons.
Veal, mutton and pork will keep
perfectly fresh and good for weeks
without salt or ice, in warm
weather, by keeping it submerged
in sour milk, changing the milk
when mold appears. Rinse in
cold water when wanted for use.
Stains in table linen can be taken
out by pouring boiling water
through them before they have been
put in the boiling suds. Ink spots
on white goods, if submerged im
mediately in new milk, will come
out, but if allowed to stand till dry
an acid of some sort will have to lie
used.
An excellent salad dressing is
Hade by using the yolk of hard
boiled eggs, some cold mashed
potatoes well pressed together with
a fork, oil, vinegar, mustard and
salt rubbed in, in the proportion of
two of oil and one of vinegar. A
salad must be fresh and freshly
made to be good.
A clean bureau cover and pin
cushion add very much to the
beauty and freshness of a bedroom.
They are pretty made of dotted
muslin that can be easily laund
ered. The pincushion may be
made of ample size and edged with
two ruffles, a small one at the seam
and a wider one at the bottom; a
narrow lace is a pretty finish for
the ruffle, and tne bureau cover
can be trimmed in the same way.
Of course this arrangement is per
fectly simple, but when the muslin
is starched and clean, the ruffles
crisply fluted, and the whole made
over some silesia, it is very * fresh
and pretty and, moreover, will lasi
for years.
Better L*te Than Never.
“What do you mean by disturb*
ing me at this hour of the night? "
said an Austin doctor to a colored
man who aroused him at 3 a. m.
“I jess allowed, boss, dat yei
