Sty gcrald and ^dticrtecr. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Dec. 23, 1887. CONFUSION IN THE DESK, Row It May Fa llj Be Avoided by It Nay Ea ilj Be Avoided V’ery Simple Arran cement. The confusion of an ordinary desk drawer without partitions is not condu cive to the belief that its owner has a place for everything and keeps everything in its place, for unless the drawer is packed full things won’t “stay put.” A carpenter ^an remedy the difficulty at .some trouble and expense, but unless the owner cares for the looks of the drawer he can with slight bother and no ex;>ci:.se quickly fix it for himself. An old en- velope box or two will furnish all the material; a stout pair of shears and a mucilage jx>t will be the only tools neces sary. If the depth of the drawer is less than that of the box, cut off the paste board sides to fit. Then put mucilage freely on the bottom of the box ami its sides that are to come next the wood. Place it in the drawer and weight it till the mucilage is dry. If the box is too large, cut off as much of the bottom and one side as desired; bend the other side and end to stick to the side of the drawer what laps over. Small compartments for the ink lx>ttle and the mucilage }x>t can he made with the comers.of another lx>x, enough of the pasteboard sides lx-ing used to bend for the other two walls of the compartment not made by the original corner. A nar row strip of old leather tucked to the side of the drawer will serve to hold the ink eraser, the stvlographic pen filler and other short articles. Of course, glue is better than mucilage for fastening the pasteboard to the wo<xI, hut mucilage will serve. All this is very simple, to lx-sure, hut you will he surprised to find what a con venience it will be if you have only a fiat topped desk and cannot leave your writ ing tools on it with safety.—“R.

I suffered with chills from ma-I consider a room hot at 60 degrees, and . . oO degrees is not uncommon. The result larial poison contracted while sew ingin ; is that you are chilled in going out. and the Confederate army on the Peninsular i so feel the cold much more keenly. ^ou . . . . T . . -I naturally try to get your room warmer, Campaigns in \ irgmia. Did not miss , hut you cai^t do it. The more coal you having a chill at least once in twenty-! put in a grate the more the heat flies up one t j. ivs> an j more frequently once in the chimney. The fact is the houses in the old por tions of the city are not made at all for comfort. They are simply places to eat in and sleep in. and then to get out of as soon as possible. They are not homes at all. The French don't have any homes, and they don't want any. The cafes are good enough for them, or the theatres or balls or anything at all outside. The re sult is that they have built the most splendid and beautiful city that the world can show, when you look only at the seven days, for more than fifteen years. In this condition I visited New York in November, 1S85, on business. While there I stopped with Mr. E. D. Barker, of the University Publishing Company. I told Mr. Barker of my j condition. 'lie called my attention to i your Kaskine and procured for me a bottle. After mv return home I took ; CURES outside, but they have left the inside, the p ( ,]] P ts as directed and found much i particular place where an American, . , , ; wants to live comfortably, at least a hun- relief afTordeil thereby.

According to a report of Consul Burch- ard. of Ituatan, in Honduras, the pita plant has never been cultivated, but grows wild in patches on the borders of rivers and lagoons. The stalks of the plant contain the filler of commerce, and grow sometimes to a height of twelve feet. The Indians scrajx* off the hard skin of the stalk with a bamlxxj knife, and thus obtain the fillers which form the heart of the stalk. Another plan is to steep the stalks in water until the skin decomposes; hut this is said to injure the fiber somewhat. In recent years machines have been devised to decorticate the fiber, but these have all been failures, owing to the fact, that no machine iias yet Ix-en invented capable of operating on a | >roti table-scale. In Honduras the pita or "sifk grass” fiber is used chiefly for thread; nets, fish line and cordage. Samples of the fiber sent to the United Slates and Europe have been manufactured into lace hand kerchiefs, rihlxais and wigs. It is held to lx; a substitute for silk or linen; and if proper machinery were forthcoming, the wild pita fields of Honduras might ho utilized in commerce. Consul Burchard indeed expresses the opinion that the fiber is destyied to become a very im portant element in the future commerce and industry of this country.—Scientific American. most fierce, trade is also fiercest and live liest. People who live in tropical coun tries are wiser than wo. They go to work at 7 o’clock on a light stomach stayer of coffee and toast, and by 11 have the hard est part of the day’s work done. They breakfast atiout ncxin and shut up shop till the heat of the day is over. Then they ojien again for any casual trade that may come along; but the heaviest part of the business is done in the morning. It is proverbially difficult to teach an old dog new tricks, and New York is never likely to change its business habits for a few weeks in midsummer. But there are plenty of people who control their own hours of lalxir who might find the tropi ca! experiment worth trying. It is said in Paris that the serious business of the day is done tietween 6 and 11 in the mornings. After the latter hour the town 'begins to take its ease. This rule holds good the year round. In London they carry things more on the red hot American plan, but even there they con trive them better in the dog days than we do, and are none the poorer or less suc cessful for it.—Alfred Trumble in New York News. Army Pigeon Lofts. The militarists of Europe have a new fad. Having exhausted their ingenuity increasing the size of guns for naval and land siege purposes, and having per fected the field telegraph and field hospi tal service, no army in Europe Ls now considered to he in a proper condition to take the field without an abundant sup ply of pigeous. The pigeon loft is part of the regular paraphernalia of every German garrison now; the French ap propriate large amounts annually for tlio birds, and every government in Europe is ia the race to secure the best carrier pigeon service. The French, indeed, at the siege of Paris utilized the birds con tinually, and quite long dispatches, com pressed into a small space by photograph ic reduction, were sent, ono bird carry ing during the siege as many as 40,000 messages safely. As the pigeons average forty to forty-flvo miles an hour, it is ap parent that they are of greater service than balloons, sinco they possess the quality of dirigibility.—Chicago Times. At the Mill in Tmlin. The Indian method of grinding carries one back to the Bible. I remember when I was a little boy being very much puz zled with the saying. “Two women were grinding at a mill; the one shall betaken ! and the other left.” My ideas of mills ; were confined to wind mills and water ■ mills, and in neither case could 1 under stand what functions “two women” were required to perform. But a single visit to an Indian bazar will probably make the parable clear, for the visitor can scarcely fail to see several sets of women at work, sitting in an open shop or by the street. The instrument employed consists of two small mill stones. In the upper one, toward the edge of it, is fixed an upright stick about a foot long. The two women sit on opjxjsito sides of the stones, each grasping the upright stick with one hand, and working together they turn the stone, just as two men sometimes work together on a windlass. With their free hands they feed in the corn, and the flour, as it Ls thrown out by the stones, spreads out on the -floor beside them.—Harold Cox. Costly Billot Doin. The tariff in this country in 1837 for conveyance of any single sheet letter, however light or heavy, over 100 miles was 18 3-4 cents, over 400 miles was 25 cents; and for every sheet cr scrap of paper added to a single sheet, double postage. Billet doux were costly- affairs then; if written daily they counted up fast. It should be added, however, that as had other remedies usually admin istered in such cases. Now, unless in ease of exposure to extra bad weather, I do not have chills, and my general health is quite good. I turned over half a bottle to a young lady friend a few weeks since. I learn from her mother that she was much benefited by it while it lasted. I trust you may be able to introduce Kaskine generally in this country, in which many suffer from diseases con sequent upon malarial poison in the system. From my own experience I can emphasize its excellence for such diseases. If I can serve you call on me. I am very truly yours, John C. Scarborough. Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remittent fever, which ran into intermittent malarial. I tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic, mer cury and quinine. The latter was ad ministered to me in heavy and contin ued doses. Malaria brought on ner vous prostration and dyspepsia, from which I suffered everything. Last winter I heard of Kaskine and began using it. A few bottles of the wonder ful drug cured ino. Malaria and dys pepsia disappeared, and as you have seen a June day brighter for the sum mer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health became steady and strong. Mrs. J; Lawson, 141 Bergen St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Gideon Thompson, the oldest and one of the most respected citizens of Bridgeport, Conn., says: “I am ninety years of age, and for the last three years have suffered from malaria and t he effects of quinine poisoning. I recently began with Kaskine, which broke up the malaria and increased my weight 22 pounds.” Other letters of a similar character from prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un doubted merit, will be sent on applica nt U 0 u OH S, if ft y y t -AND CONSUMPTION USi ] the voung ladies did not have the worst S of it. for custom made it the duty, and j tion p rice $ 1>00 or six bottles 85.00. i ot course gall entry made it- the privilege , In High Organ Lofts.
