IT MADE LEMAjTRE SIGH.
A Gesture and an Accent That He
Could Not Reproduce.
The Figaro relates the following an
ecdote about Frederic Lemaitre: “He
had acted with marvelous success in
a play by D’Ennery and Marc Fournier
when one evening after the second or
third performance he was suddenly
addressed by a stranger, ‘How much
will you take to be ill tomorrow, the
day after tomorrow and for a month?’
“Lemaitre dragged the unknown un
der a street lantern and looked at him.
He was a well known writer. ‘It is
you!’ said the actor. ‘Why do you
wish me to be ill?’
“The other hesitated slightly as he
explained his strange proposition. He
was inspired by an insane hatred to
ward Marc Fournier and had sworn
to avenge himself on his enemy by all
conceivable means. ‘Help me to
wreck his drama,’ he concluded, ‘and
I will make you rich. I have the
means to do it. You earn a great deal.
I will give you ten times as much for
six months longer than your piece will
last. Will you agree?’
“Lemaitre had • quickly recovered
himself. He seized the man by the col
lar. shook him hard for a minute and
then, with a vigorous kick, thrust him
away, crying: ‘How much will I take?
Thirty pieces of silver, Judas!’
“An old actor who told the story
added, ‘How often has Frederic Le
maitre sighed in my presence when he
recalled the episode, “Alas, I shall nev
er be able to reproduce the gesture and
the accent of that moment!” ’ ”
Do Not Sleep on Yonr Left Side.
When a patient complains of a bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says a physician, the first
question I ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on
the left side, and this is the most com
mon cause of the unpleasant taste
which is generally attributed to dys
pepsia. If a meal has been taken with
in two or three hours of going to bed,
to sleep on the left side is to give the
stomach a task which it is difficult in
the extreme to perform. The student
of anatomy knows that all food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right
side, and hence sleeping on the left
side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also inter
fered with considerably, and the lungs
are unduly compressed. It is probable
that lying on the back is the most nat
ural position, but few men can rest
easily so, and hence it is best to culti
vate the habit of sleeping on the right
side. It is very largely a matter of
habit, and the sooner it is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse
for the physician.
Tiie PhyaiciaTi's A.brl(*e.
Once upon a time a very nervous
man called on his physician and asked
for medical advice.
“Take a tonic and dismiss from your
mind all that teiids.to worry you,” said
the doctor.
Several months Afterward the pa
tient received a bill from the physician
asking him to remit $18 and answered
it thus:
“Hear Doctor—I have taken a tonic
and your advice. Your bill tends to
worry me. and so I dismiss it from my
mind.”

giver.—New York Herald.
Fame. g
There are many kinds of celebrity.
When Haydon. the painter, visited
Stratford, he held forth about Shake
speare to some rustics he met in a
wayside Inn. They told him that Strat
ford then contained “another wonder
ful fellow, one John Cooper.”
“Why. what has he done?”
“Why, zur. I’ll tell ’ee. He’s lived
ninety years in this here town, man
and boy, and never had the tooth
ache!”—London Standard.

The first and most necessary step
is to increase the available supply of
silk worm food. We must plant mul
berry trees until each farm suited for
this kind of work has at least 100
trees. Every farm having dry soil,
lying bet wen Goldsboro and States
ville or Asheville, can successfully
grow silk.
In order to encourage the planting
of the mulberry, the State Department
of Agriculture will distribute among
the farmers of North Carolina in lots
of 50 and 100 rooted seedling trees of
the varieties best suited for feeding
the silk worm. Not more than 100
will be sent to one person. Those
who want more will be supplied at cost
prices. We do not recommend the
planting of more than 100 trees by any
farmer. Recipients of trees will be
required to pay postage or expressage
at the rate of 1 cent per tree. This
must be enclosed with application.
Trees will be delivered during No
vember, which is the best month for
planting in this Stare. Full direc
tions for planting and caring for the
trees will be sent to each applicant.
Silk growing will prove a valuable
nature study, and a remunerative art
in schools, and is well worth the at
tention of all who have supervision
over educational institutions. It is
also well adapted for charitable insti
tutions. Public institutions which
wish to experiment with silk grow
ing, will be supplied with trees at a
nominal price.
Applications will be filled in the or
der of reception. Address, General
McCarthy, Biologist, N. C. Department
of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C.
Where the Birds Thrive.
The birds are not forgotten by the-
Swedish peasantry. At the door of
every farmer’s house is erected a pole
to the top of which is bound a large,
full sheaf of grain. There is not a
peasant in all Sweden who will sit
down with bis children to dinner until
he has first raised a meal for the birds.

In “Georgia Historical and Industri
al,” published by this department in
the fall of 1901, is found the following
paragraph (page 347):
“Silk Factories—An industry which
in the last few years has grown rap-
dly in the United States is the manu
facture of silk. In 1890 there were
718,360 spindles and 20,822 looms. In
1300 there were 1,426,245 spindles and
48,246 looms. It is mostly confined to
the Northern States.; but Virginia and
North Carolina have entered this field,
each with 30,000 spindles. North
Carolina has also 1,455 looms, and Vir
ginia 350.
“Although Georgia was. originally in
tended to be a silk-producing country,
at this time the State is taking no part
in tnis business. Yet the founders
of the colony of Georgia thought that
its chief industry would be the pro
duction of raw silk. General Ogls-
thoi^pe in speaking of the possibilities
of the colony said: ‘It must be a
weak hand indeed, that cannot earn
bread where silk worms and white mul
berry trees are so plentiful.’ Perhaps
at some future day Georgia will real
ize in this industry the expectations
of .ls founders.”
The Department of Agriculture of
Georgia heartily indorses every effort
to introduce a aew industry into our
State.

For the Kitchen.
In kitchens where economy of
space is a consideration a combined
kitchen table and cabinet is an ad
vantage. It also saves many steps
in the preparation of a meal by
keeping many needed articles with
in reach.* It is made of hardwood,
the top being 45 inches long by 30
wide, with directly underneath slid
ing boards for meat and bread. The
flour bin is fastened with automatic
hangers, while all waste space is
avoided by the three drawers just
behind it.- The four large front
drawers will hold linen, kitchen
dishes, cutlery, cookbook, teas, cof
fee, condiments^ sugar, meal, cere
als, etc., while the locker will hold
vinegar, sirup, etc. The zinc lined
bottom makes it positively mouse
and rat proof..
The Bread Jar.
The bread jar or tin should have
the closest attention daily during
warm weather. Wipe out the crumbs
and scald it every morning. Keep
muffins, gems and quick biscuits
separate from raised bread and use
them up at once by steaming or re
heating in the oven or by toasting.
Use rice and the various prepara
tions of wheat both as cereals and
for breakfast cakes during the hot
weather and let the corn and oat
meal be reserved for the winter diet.
