In North Carolina.
In the HnhMtfh slate library Is un
IntorwitlNjr old vol u mo nnwuted by
rrutitdiiut MndlHoti lu 1831. This quaint
book Is tln Hint history of North Con
Ihm, written In 1741 by "Mtx Lawsou,
(ii'iit," a surveyor jicmpihI of the lords
proprietors. The ItlHtorjr Is well worth
rvndliitf, but perhaps the most enter
(nliilng portion of Its mnny pages I"
that In which Mr. Lawson describes
th flora ami fuuim of the new coun

tho railway conductor who decided
(hut, according to tho rules of the road,
"doss Is dog aiid cat! Is dogs, but
turtles Is InscK ts."
"We will next treat of Boasts." says
the blstortun, "The chief art the Buffo-

the fern plant, which grows almost

It successfully for msny yesrs. Val
uable fruit, fresh butter, etc., are no
longer seen In tue English markets
pscked In grapevine leaves, but almost
Always lo fresh fern leaves, which
keep the articles excellently. This Is
done where grapevine leaves are to bf
had In abundance. Every one posted
well In botany knows tbe high preserv

are packed In ferns and arrive on tbe
market In as frenh a condition ss when
they were shipped. Potatoes pscked
In ferns keep many months longer
than others packed only In straw. Ex
periments msde with both straw snd

surprUIng results In favor of ferns.
Wlillo tho potatoes packed In straw

Fresh meat Is also well preserved by
fern leaves. It would seem as If the
highly preservative qualities of fern

of salt. No larvae, maggots, etc., ap

Postmaittr Not to Be Hurrltd.
A nobleman's new land agent and
steward, who went to live on tbe es

every day for three weeks, but got no
replies. Thinking this very strange,
ho rodo over to tbe vlllugo nnd Inter
viewed the postmaster.
"Oh," excle lined the postmaster,
"you are the new agout on tho ducal
eatutes! Well, your letters ore all safe.
Tho villagers rarely write letters, and
as I have to rldo on my donkey four
miles to tho railway station to catch
the mall train yon don't suppose for
one moment, Cj ym:, l!i:it I cm going

whimpering to Littleton, the elder:
"Dad, dadt Martin Is drowning!" '
"Martin, Martini" repeated the father
of nineteen. Then he turned dubious
