Mr. J. C. Akin, proprietor of the
Evans House, has erected and has in

The main room, or, more properly, the
evaporating room, is 20x30 feet, in
which is arranged the tables and other
necessary fixtures. The canning room
is 12x50 feet and contains the boiler,

Readinf Habits.
Novel-reading, if indulged in nyntem
atically, will a)miMt itievTo rcxult in
the acquirement of many falfe iden of
life. liove U unduly nmguifu'd iu the
Hole aim and end of life, in books of lliin
clues. The homely duties and airno of
common life appear dull n:id distustct'ul
to the habitual novel-reader, who is al
ways expecting and longing for some
wonderful and romantic event to Imp
pen, which will cast a rose-colored glow
over all thing!). The highest aspirations
of the novel reader ure directed toward
something vague and unformed in the
future, and there is a dangerous inclina
tion toward an overbalance on the Hide
of feeling and sentiment.
But there are novels, and novels. And
the celebrated and great novels are by
far the most entertaining to the ordinary
reader whose early education has not
been neglected, and whose mind has
not been warped by reading only of
sentiment and unhappy romance. It
is not advisable to force children to
read only that which is solid and in
structive, but they should not be per
mitted to choose their lighter reading
without counsel and advice from those
who are competent to give it. Books
that are worth reading are generally
worth reading again. Tho.e which
overflow with profound and beautiful
thought, and are replete with solid in.
struction, should be in every man's
library, if he can afford to buy them,
and thus be easily accessible to his
children.
But in children good habits ot read-
ng can be cultivated. They can be
taught how to read and what to read.
heir young, unformed, impressible
minds can be led up to a high plane,
in which they will find enjoyment as
well as gaiu useful knowledge. Allow
a child's mind to become vitiated by
reading anything and everything, and
his education will never . amount to
much. After reading tales of blood
and thunder, pirate life and forest ad
ventures, he will find history and biog'
raphy tame, and solid reading will be
come a task and not a pleasure.

Overcoming Prejudice.
Mr. Parmentier, in 1783, introduced
potatoes into France in a novel manner.
Having planted a considerable breadth
of them at Montreuil, near Paris, be
gained an audience of the unfortunate
Louis XVI, in the course ot which he
inspired His Majesty with ideas of the
value of the potato.
"But how are we to make people eat
what they are prejudice against," in
quired the king.
"Sire, if Your Majesty will afford
ine a little aid, that prejudice shall be
removed," replied Parmentier.
"To overcome prejudice is difficult
but how can I aid you, M. Parmen
tier?"
"If your Majesty will graciously or
der that a soldier shall mount guard in
ray potato field at Montreuil, potatoes
shall be all the fashion in less than six
months."
The king laughed ana granted Ter
mentier's request. Thenceforward
military guard might be seen proraeu
ading with measured step the natura
list's potato field.
"How precious must that blue-flow

Clay's Degenerate Descendants.
Augusta Chronicle.
All the grandsons of Henry Clay
were dissipated. The brightest of them
was Henry, who was shot dead in a bar
room not long ago. It is recalled that
"James, the eldest, was at one time en
gaged to Miss Maggie, daughter of Sen
ator Beck. His habits compelled her
to break off the engagement. When her
marriage with young Mr. Corcoran,
nephew of the banker, was arranged,
Clay sent him word that the ceremony
should never occur. So fearful was
Miss Beck of some tragedy at the
church that when she arrived at the door
she did not wait to have her wraps
thrown- around her, but nervously
threw open the carriage door and ran
into the vestibule. It was a cold, raw
day, and she caught a cold, which re
sulted in Iter death before the honey
moon was over. The young man's
threat did end in a tragedy."
