the carnival,
five Days full of Fun and Frolic
—A Great Occasion.
The? Indian Summer Carnival,
which begins November 15 in
Atlanta, promises to be of special
interest not only to the people in
that city, hut to the people
throughout the state. From
what can be learned, the festivit
ies on this occasion will surpass
anything of the kind ever seen
in the Southern States. Geor
geous ppgents, mostodonic para
des, brilliant carnivals, equalling
those of the world renowned
Mardi Gras, Turn-Verein athlet
ics, spear tournament balls, bicy
cle races, horse races and loot
ball will* be a few features of the
week.
The Sultan, Abou kabn, will be
received in royal style and will
be escorted through the streets
by his Pashas and Muss lman
Guards. In met it is doubted if
ever so an elaborate programme
was arranged in this country.
Atlanta is making great prepara
tions foi the accommodations of
her guest. She welcomes the
people with open arms, and those
who go may have the assurance
that they will see much to gratify
■ them and will return to their
j
I homes satisfied in every partieu
j lar, This is an opportune time
■ to visit Atlanta.
j The railroads, realizing the
| the importance of the Carnival,
iwill give a cheap rate —one cent
i a mile, round trip. The roads
l ure very liberal, and everybody
! should go and see, and enjoy the
I festivites of the Indian Summer
j Carnival, ft begins November
j 15 and lasts five days. Every
day has a complete programme.
Editor Argus :—As I am much
interested in firming and of course
interested in the prosperity ot all
farmers, 1 desire to say this to the
practical farmers ol our county :
Ist. After a fair test of peas I
recommend the Unknown as best o/
running peas, the Speckled or
Whipperwhill the best as a bunch
pea.
2nd. I recommend the Ribbon
Cane as preferable, to the Sorghum
Cane for s' rup.
3rd. I recommend the Long
Staple cotton in preterci.ee to other
cotton, because I wadiiy soul to A.
11. Arnold, who is a cotton buyer
and a judge of cotton, ibis kind a'
1 1-4 cts per pound more 11-. on he
or any oilier buyer would give for
other grades The long Staple will
make as much ne r acre in lint as
other kinds, the seed are very small
and will not turn out so much as
other grades, and in the weight of
seed there will he a loss of small
amount but not enough to rompen
sate in the difference in lint.
4h, 1 recommend what is
known as the Van MoKibben corn
nec a use after a fa r test, before i■,
partial judges it is decided the best.
oih. I recommend the blue sterna
wheat as the best for this climate
I have tried it fully and never failed
in a crop* but once. (1890) I am go
ng to test am it her kind this season
and if it proves a success I will in
form lbs farmers. I am also test
ing another kind of oahs but can
noi recommend until I make a Its*.
At j absent I recommend what is

How Russians Entertain Their Gnests
at Dinner— Wliy Japanese Fans
Are So Cheap Hint , for Picnic
Parties.
When the Russian wishes to pay
i compliment he will invite you to
dinner. He will ask \>u jo stand
with the other guests around, v
small side table lad n with hori
curries and cheese omelettes, bread,
butter and radishes, caviare and
plentiful beer, and a wicked look
ing white Russian whiskey called
vodka. Here you make an ordi
nary meal, while wonderifeg at the
handsomely decked table in the
center of the room, and why you
were not asked to sit down there.
But, this first meal finished, you
do sit down, and forthwith pro
ceed with a dinner of many courses,
served ala Russe, everyone eating
with as much gusto as if breaking
a fast.
You become accustomed to the
zakouska, as all this side show
business is called, and dinner gets
to be unsatisfactory without it.
So important a function is it, that
even at the hurried table d’hote of
a station, no difference how insig
nificant or distant from the main
line, the service is never omitted.
The host bent on serving his
choicest dish wall offer you Ba
teeny, which is the euphonius
title of cold beer soup, a compound
requiring more nerve to attack
than preparing for the wars. Of
what is it made ? Alas ! of what
is it not made ? Spinach, salmon,
| (they have splendid salmon in
| Russia), green onion tops, strings
l of sausages, poached eggs and
beer —much beer. To perfect this
soup, to which every true Russian
; is devoted, the servant presents in
i one hand a dish of sour cream and
in the other cracked ice. The rule
is to take liberal portions of both
and stir in judiciously.
Why Fans Are So Cheap.
A New York dealer was recently
asked how fans could be made in
Japan, brought to this country,
and then be sold for the low price
of one cent each. “Bamboo, ” said
lie, “grows in Japan as plentiful
as cat-tails in New Jersey. It is
split by a hand-and-foot 'machine
and hundreds of thousands of strips
cut in a day. The Japanese excel
in the making of strong or tough
paper, and in stamping flowers
upon it by a quick process. The
putting together of the fan is done
by machinery, the cost being almost
nothing when compared with the
pay of American workmen. The
cheaper variety is used for packing
for more expensive goods, such as
porcelain vessels, the fans being
packed closely between the vessels,
large numbers can go inside and
arouncLone umbrella stand. The
porcelain bears the expense of
freight, which would amount to
just as much without the packing
as with. This packing helps to
preserve the more valuable arti
cle. So there is no cost for the
freight of the fans. Although
there is 35 per cent, duty on both
the porcelain and packing, the in
voice price of the latter is so
small that the duty amounts to
little. The fan packing is then
sold here in job lots, and the ped
dlers get them for mere nothing.
That is why they can sell them so
cheaply. Even at 1 per cent, the
realized price is much higher than
the Japanese charge for them in
large quantities.”
The Best Picnic Lunch.
Meats for sandwiches should be
boiled the day before; then, after
removing bone, skin and gristle,
they should be put in packing tins,
heavily weighted and set in cool
place over night, writes a corre
spondent in the “Ladies Home
Journal.”
Bread twenty-four hours old is
best. Avery keen-edged knife is
needed for cutting it into thin
slices not over three inches square.
These, buttered slightly, should be
nicely' filled with ham, salad, sar
dines, tongue or whatever one
likes.
Then cut pieces of confectioner’s
paper just large enough to cover
the sandwiches neatly, place them
side by side, closely packed, and
they will preserve their shape with
out breaking. The paper is not to
be removed until served.
Calces must also be twenty-four
hours old. For picnics use a little
extra flour in stirring, and an ex
tra five or ten minutes in baking
will insure a firmer crust. Frost
ing. if put on hot. does not crackle
and fall off. Cookies are more de
sirable than loaf cake, as are also
cup and gem cakes. Jelly' and
cream confections are seldom nice
for picnic serving;
Pies made, of jellies, fruit or
sweets are best cooked turnover
fashion, the pastry covering the
filling entirely'. Lay* them in paper
covers, and they serve thus very
conveniently.
The Well-Dressed Woman-
The well-dressed woman is the
woman who buys the best material
she can all >i*J, and would ratlier
have one good, serviceable dress
than two * ; shoddy” ones, however
pretty the latter may be when first
made. If she is a busy woman,
she will not wear tire furbelows
which require constant attention to
keep them in order, and are in any
thing but good taste when not in
order. If she is a woman of mod
erate means, she will not choose
the frail gowns which are intended
only to be used as carriage gowns.
There are many things, pretty in
themselves, which are in the worst
if used iii an inappropriate
Way, and the woman who is well
dressed never errs regarding this
point in her toilet.
Would Not Be Kissed.
The widowed Marchioness ol
Drogheda"is the only Irish peeress
of the time, it is reported, who de
clined to be kissed by the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland at the Vice
Regal Drawing Rooms. Other
ladies objected, but beyond mild
protests submitted to the kisses.
The practice was introduced by
George IV. when he visited Ireland
in 1821. It has been maintained by
every Viceroy since that time.
Lord Zetland puts plenty of vigor
in his kisses, but he is very pop
alar.
Apple Omelet.
Stew six fair-sized apples to a
marmalade, with sugar to taste,
and about two ounces of fresh
blitter, and set it aside till cold,
when two well-beaten egg must
bo added to it. Butter a }>'e-dish,
sprinkle this thickly with sugar,
baked bread crumbs and a little
filler, grated lemon peel; then pour
in the apple, cover it all pretty
thickly with bread crumbs and
bake it for an hour in a good oven.
Serve turned out, with suga’
sprinkled over it.
Quick Flannel Cakes.
One quart of flour, 2 ounces of
butter, 1 teaspoonful of salt, 2
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 3
eggs, 11-2 pints of milk. Rub
the butter into the flour with the
hands until smooth, then add the
salt. Beat the yolks of the eggs,
add them to the milk; add this to
tlie flour, and beat vigorously
until smooth ; add the whites of the
eggs and the baking powder, and
bake quickly on a pqt griddle
Very nice.

How English Beauties Are Made.
Mrs. Winifred Fanning was first
made famous some years ago when
the “Whitehall Review” published
her picture as a typical Irish
beauty. Since then she has grown
more matronly, but is still a very
lovely woman says the Queen. At
Ascot the Prince of Wales begged
to be introduced to Mrs. Fanning,
and straightway the fame of her
good looks spread over the*country,
from one wing of society to the
other.
Learn to Speak in Public-
During her recent visit in Chi
cago Miss Susan B. Anthony said:
“I wish you would urge upon wo
men the necessity of cultivating
their voices and learning to speak
so they may be heard before they
attempt to come before the public.
Nothing is more unjust than for
an audience to be taxed by strain
ing the attention to catch frag
ments of sentences and now and
then disconnected words.”
The New Bedspread.
A fascinating piece of work for
women fond of embroidery, and
one which repays in effect the vast
amount of labor expended upon it,
is the bedspread of fine white jean
with sprays of wild roses wrought
upon it. Daisies with pierced holes
at the center, filled in with lace
stitches of gold, are sometimes
used. The designs should be done
in wash silk.
Carlyle to a Literary Miss-
Carlyle sent this reply to a
young authoress who submitted
her MSS. to him: ‘ i wall say only
—a young girl’s chief duty is not
to write novels (especially not
while she is ignorant of the world,
mid not even perhaps when she
knows it too well), but by and by
to be queen of some household and
control it queenlike and woman
like.”
Saved on Her Clothes.
A ballet-dancer died recently at
Naples, leaving a large fortune.

With manner cool and staid
“Buenos Dias’’’
The prettiest girl in town—
With cheeks of coco brown—
“Buenos Dias?”
Hair as black as jet—
“Buenos Dias:”
Dark'loving eyes and yet—
“Buenos Dias!”
Beneath my admiring glance
Her dimples began to dance—
“Buenos Dias’.”
English she did not know—
“Buenos Dias!” ,
My Spanish was too slow—
“Buenos Dias!”
I put flowers in her hand.
She laughed, the witch—and—
