It is lair to say that they generally al« low the planting, working and gather ing these crops, though under no obli gation* whatever to do so. It is through pure generosity.

Those surviving ex-Coufederates who fought and Buffered io the trench es around Petersburg and elsewhere, are probably able to appreciate better than anybody else bow differently the men of the South are fighting now from the way they fought in the six ties. Thors were no such things in those days aa hospital trains, hospital sbipa, refrigerating ships, Red Cross relief corps, and the thousand and one aids and comforts which are now being provided lor the troops. On the Cons federate side it was a matter of hard fighting during the battles and bard living and hard suffering during the intervals between fights.*—Savannah News. Unless there should come a change in tho fortunes of Massachusetts, she ■say bo referred to after awhile as the moth eaten state. Besides the gipsy moth, ebe has now a brand new moth pest, which the secretary of tho board of agriculture calle the "brown-tail.’* It ia said that tho "brown tail” is cov*> ered with a growth of fine hair, which it sheds about everywhere it goes. When children play on the grass the hairs of tho moth get upon them, with the result that they .are poisoned and their hands and arms break out into a rash which is very painful. Tho mouths are now in a pupa state, from which they will emerge about tho middle of August and begin to scatter their hairs broadcast. Remarkable Reocue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, HU makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse.

Nation A Miles: The Constitution expresses tho hope that Weyler may return to Cuba. We ey mpatbise wilb this wish, and supple ment it by saying that it would delight us to have one swashbuckler, known as Nelson A. Miles, meet him there in a baud to hand contest, with the result that each loses his worthless life at the hands of the other, deferring to the Spaniard to the extent to hope that he might live long enough to learn that the American died before be surren dered to death Civilisation has rarely witnessed one so cruel as Weyler, and chivalry has never been dishonored by one so cowardly aa Miles. It is a good thing that the latter is being so ignominiously treated by his own army that all telegrams from Sbafter are directed to Adjutant Gen eral Corban, who is undoubtedly tho real head of the army today, and who should, by all means, be put in nomi nal command at once If Miles bad any nerve or gentility, be would assert himself or resign Instead, he talks feebly and puerilely Os prosecuting hie detractors. This is brave conduct for a commander-in* chief Puor, conceited, impotent, dis honored aid incompetent Miles! Weyler ebines like a star in compari son with the contemptible cur who placed Jeff Davis io chains. « ■. ■ •» .... ■ f. A Story of President Paure. M. Felix Fauro, president of the French republic, is a gentleman whose duties are many and whose pleasures are few. Among the latter is the tub. Eminently hygienic, It relaxes tension and distends the nerves; hence the pleasure of it. Recently mat ters of state followed him, it is reported, even there. A secretary entered, apolo gised no doubt, and in any event stated that the minister of foreign affairs had come regarding something of great ur gency which required his immediate atten tion. ‘‘Can’t I have any peace?” the presi dent in his exasperation cried. ‘‘Does he want to kill me—in my bath at that?” Then, with a gesture infinitely resigned, the gesture of a martyr, he added: "Show him in—show in Charlotte Corday.” HNIIIIWIMM(iuMII>HUIIIIinilllllllllllltll Illlfe MOTHERS, 1 READ THIS! 1 ■ Do Yon Want to Know the Xtest Remedy for § Flatulent Colic, Dysentery, Nausea, Coughs, . * Cholera Infantum, Teething Children, Cholera Morbus, j Pains, Griping, E And AU Diseases of the Stomach Bowels? ; X PITTS ,; ?
