The best of life is commonplace,
Its happiest, sweetest, days
Aie days of simple duties done

Each disappoints in turn;
The lesson, that Joy comes unsought.

Our hardest toil is plasure's chase;
We speed from shore to shore.
Only to find how vain the quest

NORTH CAROLINA TEA.
EXPERIMENTS SHOWING THE POSSIBIL
ITY OF ITS SUCCESS.
Dr. Shepherd Gives Practical Views
on the Subject Confidence in the
Future Manufacture in the South of
Those Highly Priced Teas Rarely
Met Outside Their Native Country.
Dr. Charles TJ. Shepherd, a North
Carolinian gentleman, has experi
mented for years upon his farm at
finehurst, to determine the commer
cial possibilities of tea culture in the
United States. He has succeeded in
demonstrating that tea farming is a
practical possibility in the South.
In a recent press interview, Dr.
Shepherd said:
"The economical raising of tea here
on a comparatively large scale is con
fronted by several serious obstacles,
and much more than the past few
years must be devoted to experimental
work before a satisfactory solution may
be obtained.
"First is the difference in the price
of labor between the tea producing
countries and the Southern States. It
costs almost as much to pick, with us
of fresh leaf sufficient to make a pound
of tea as it does to raise, pick and pack
he same quantity of the kind sent us
from Asia.
"There are, therefore, two alterna
tes presented to the would be Amer
ican tea grower; he must raise the qual-
ty or his product above that of the
cheaper Oriental grades, or he must
reduce the cost of production. The
former course has been pursued at
inehurst, and with very promising re
sults.
"For a tea garden several things
are essential, as favorable soil condi-
ions, exposure to the sun, protection
from wintry blasts and the avoidance
of stagnant tea water about the roots of
the plants. Then there are different
kinds of tea plants, needing different
kinds of treatment. The Assam is the
finest. It derives its name from the
northeastern province of British India,
and was formerly found growing there
to the height of 30 feet in the dark
streaming jungles along the banks of
the Brahmaputra river, where the at
mosphere is always damp and frost un
known. Its leaves are bright green
and very large, often attaining a
ength ol seven or more inches, and
broad in proportion.
"The attempt is being made at
Pinehurst to cultivate some of this va
riety, but the comparatively severe
weather to which this section of North
Carolina is liable makes success seem
very remote.
"At the other extreme is the Chinese
variety. lhis is a low, bushy stiruD,
low of growth ond capable of weather
ing snow, frost and ice. The leaves
dark green, tough and small. Be
tween these two varieties stana tne
intermediate or hybrid grades, and
these, are the ones most susceptible to
American cultivation, where intelli
gence and study serve to bring out
the best possible Qualities as well as
quantities of the tea plant.
- 1 &
"These plants grow from two to five
feet in height, according to the variety
of the seed, and the number of 'flushes'
or pickings also vary somewhat. The
Assam plant in its native country will
stand 20 flushes in a year, while the
Chinese varietv will not thrive under
more than four to five.
The planter plucks the young
leaves as they appear, and nature sends
out new shoots to supply the deficien
cy. This warfare is kept up until the
nlant succumbs, sav in 10 successive
seasons.
"The best climate ior tea is one
where the temperature never goes be
low 45 degrees and never above 90
decrees, and where sudden variations
are not frequent.
o '
"The rainfall in countries best
adapted for tea raising averages above
100 inches per annum. .Nevertheless,
it is possible to remuneratively grow
tea, where the temperatuae averages 65
fWrees and the rainfall Kb inches.
The tea plant requiring very rich soil,
liberal irrigation has been lound to
greatly augment the quality as well as
the nuantitv of the product here. 1 ne

and nartlv the flavor of the tea. and
is a very particular and delicate pro
cess.
"The work is not altogether inex
pensive, and tea culture in America
must be conducted with the strictest
possible economy in order to attain
success. There are many obstacles to
overcome, but the certainty that they
can be surmounted is demonstrated
here at Pinehurst, where we have pro
duced both the green and black tea of
a quality which readily commanded $1
or more in the retail market.
"There has been enough success to
warrant confidence, and we hope to
ultimately attempt the manufacture of
those very highly esteemed and priced
teas which are rarely met with outside
the countries in which they are grown;
and simply because of a light 'firing'
they will not stand distant transporta
tion. This is a field where American
growers need fear no competition from
tne urient. buch teas demand a very
high price, but if better than can be
otherwise obtained there will be no
scarcity of buyers."

Bravely Battling.
(Orange Observer.)
How we love the noble-minded
arge-hearted boys who are striving
bravely, manfully, to regain the mas
tery over the inflexible conditions of
life, which adverse circumstances have
woven around them. Those broad-
spirited boys who look beyond them
selves and out over all the wide world,
with a desire, born of God, to live for
good and useful purposes. Those liberal-minded,
whole souled boys, who
look beyond the narrow confines of ig
norance and selfishness, and beyond
the narrow teachings of youthful days
and years; and dare open their lips to
receive the inspirations of knowledge
that come of thought. To noble,
striving boys all over our land. If
you wish to meet success remember it
is gained only by those who are brave
enough to form opinions of their own
and contend for them, and labor for
them, and hope for the realizition of
their desires born of the study of their
faith in their own intentions.

Shun the Sneaks.
(Orange Observer.)
One of the saddest things we ever
have to realize is that a great part of
this world's population is made up of
dishonest people. We do not refer to
those people whose dishonesty takes
the form of stealing your money, your
watch or other personal property, but
to those miserable Uriah Heaps whose
treachery consists in relieving you of
your peace of mind by a pretence of
friendship in your presence and a cor
responding amount of enmity when
out of your sight. There are few places
so favored as to escape the contamina
tion of these miserable hypocrites,
these society wolves in sheep's cloth
ing, and it is a matter of deep regret
that some of their victims are created
so unsuspecting as to never discover
their guile and deceit. It is not al
ways possible to love our neighbors as
ourself, at the same time we needn't
make our neighbor miserable by an
elaborate display of friendship when
with him and then pronounce him a
villian to some interested friend who
will tell him the true state of our re
gard. Kindness and courtesy can be
dealt out in liberal quantities; but we
have no need to ever soil our con
science with pretended friendship and
deceit for the sake of policy.

An Airy Sketch of a Southern Belle.
The Southern girl is a type peculiar
to the soil. She resembles no other
young lady in the country. In thought,
manneis and methods she has a dis
tinct personall y, and could be picked
out with ease in a multitude. As a rule
she is slender and strong. She is
reasonably well modeled, a tendency
to tight lacing among the traditions
of her people having had its natural
effect to some extent upon her figure.
She is generally good-looking and very
often handsome. Her nervous person
ality is of value in this direction, for
rh;r eyes are bright and her percep
tions quick. She is, as a rule, high
spirited and somewhat self-willed.
She is harder to control than the
Northern girl, and when she makes up
her mind to get married and the old
people object she usually carries out
the program if it takes a saddle horse
to accomplish it. None the less, how
ever, she is usually shrewd in deter
mining her choice, and does not usu
ally make mistakes. She dresses well.
Her style is rather pronounced. She
speaks in a high-keyed voice and talks
rapidly. She speaks of her escort in
variably as "her man," and of the
gentlemen in general as "the men."
She is never visible in public without
one ofthese useful and convenient ar
ticles beside her. Her conversation is
directed mainly at the topics of the
day and badinage of a light and dry
character. Her age is from eighteen
to twenty-five years. She never passes
the latter age. An ox team could not
make her. The Southern girl's par
ticular specialty is dancing. She can
dance every dance under the sun, in
cluding all the tipups, kicks and run
ning races which have been invented
by the dancing master since dancing
was taken from the polite arts and
raised to a place among athletic
sports. She is the most graceful of
dancers and would rather dance than
eat. She is as light as a fairy and as
graceful a could be desired, and is so
found of floating over the floor that she
will dance with another girl rather
than keep still.

so much in it to differentiate and dis-;
unguisn u irom uie commonplace
stuff which is made for and made by
the magazines the standard of current
poetry that I hope to be pardoned if
betrayed into apparent excess of enthu
siasm over it. This seems fo me like
a case in which any lack ot precision
in ep
ithet should be condoned, if not
altogether overlooked
"Fugitive Lines" comes like the
airiose lilt of a mocking bird above the
clatter, the clamor and the babble of
cuckoos and parrots. There are in
Professor Stockard's rhymes notes in
the gamut of poesy which are, indeed,
uuknown quantities to Munkittricks,
Banges and other driveling, sniveling !
and grovelling latter-day votaries of
the muse. It becomes to me one of
the worst possible commentaries upon
the materialistic tendencies of the age
that the discord of the poetasters and
doggerel scribblers is so great that the
voice of a true poet can scarcely be
heard. Midiocrity abounds; merit is
as rare as ever. A great deal of the
bad is accepted in lieu of the good
rather than winnow so little grain
from so much chaff. The so-called po
etry of thediy is so much flatsom and
jetsom cast upon the literary sea and
the pity is that so much swims and so
little sinks. I challenge any lover of
good poetry, be he or she ever so per
sistent and undispairing a searcher of
the "poet's corner" of the magazines
and newspapers (the former are by far
the worst offenders), to count over on
his or her fingers of one hand the
really good, new poems read in this
annus mirabilis and not have when the
computation is complete a thumb and
one or two other digits to spare. I he
dual purpose of the average poet of
this generation is to exaggerate the lit
tle and belittle the great. The "airy
nothingness" to which he gives "a
local habitation and a name" pffbets
one with ad the causes of escaping gas.

both sides of the ocean of their type

men to strong drink, is enough to

follow out one of the meicenary meia
phors of this commercial age) be con
trolled by that said to be inexorable
law of supply and demand one cannot
but regtet the degree to which the
popular taste has been debauched.
The love of poetry I look upon as the

which I have tried to make intelligible.
Whether I have succeeded or not, lam
not willing that my readers shall be
content without reading for them
selves "Fugitive Lines," the produc
tion of a man who loves art for its own
sake and who sets new and farther
limits toward the perfection of poetic
expression. Edward Gilliam,
Berkely Springs, W. Va., Oct. 2S, '97.
If you are anxious to fiud the most reli
able blood purifier, read in Ayer's Alma
nac the testimonials of those who have
been cured of such terrible diseases as ca
tarrh, rheumatism, and scrofula, by the
use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Then govern
yourself accordingly.

Let Us Stop to Think.
(Outlook.)
Let us stop to think of the good-bye
kiss. Better miss a car than leave a
heart-ache.
Let us stop to think of the children.
We, too, were children once and loved
to be remembered.
Let us stop to think ol the aged.
For us, too the evening shadows will
close at length and we shall, perchance
be left at desolate hearthstones. We
will need to be remembered then.
Let us stop to think of the stranger.
