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.” Moral.—Advice sometimes defeats its 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. continued from another page.) 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. A Greftt Clmnffe. Fond Mamma—Isn’t baby getting big?

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.

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. Mrs. B. G.
