Proceedings of che Royal Arks.
McMinnville, Feb. 8, 'S3.

The Royal Arks met at the lodge
room last Saturday night. The adju.
tant general suggested the death of
brother D. G. Smart, Mayor of Jacks
boro. The committee on resolutions
retired and returned with the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Our brother D. G. Smart
has united in the holy bonds Of matri-
mony with Miss Hollis, of Cannon
county, the same being in violation of
article 2 of our constitution,
Resolved, That his certificate of
membership be cancelled, and he is re-
garded as dead to the Association, and
that the members wear the usual badge
OF mourning for thirty days.
Committee on the star route reported
that F. G. Crumpton escaped from
sheritl's headquarters at the depot and
made the best time on record up Broad
street amid shower of pebbles. The
roar OF his tanyards along the pike, to.
gether with the rattle of the pebbles,

ceedings OF the Benevolent Society.

Mad Stone.

We noticed it stated sometime ago
in the Manchester Times, that Mr..
Green Fletcher of Summitville, Coffee
county, had a genuine "mad stone"
If any person has been or should be
bitten with rabid dog or other ami,
NAL, and hydrophobia results there
from, we have no doubt Mr. Fletcher
would allow such person the use of the
stone if properly applied for.
We know Mr.. Fletcher to be a re.
liable man, and one of the best citizens
in Coffee county.

Woven Garments.

The finest and most far-reaching de-
velopment of modern times in the way
of garments for woman consists in the
woven garments of silk, wool, and silk
and wool, which come in the form of
underwear, capes, jackets and Jerseys.
The idea of woven garments, or garments
formed, of elastic cloth, is not by m
means ephemeral. It is bound to grow.
Already 1t produces caps, capes, legglns,
basques, petticoats, vests, and complete
underwear, the whole garment covering
the body evenly and being finished in
Jne piece. ."
Persons who know how near human
perfection these union garments have
been brought, how wellthey are shaped,
how soft to the touch, how sanitary in
their protecting and healthful influence.
will make no change in this respect at
least, because change means loss and
misfortune when you have got just what
you want for your purpose. ..4I.
The jersey to dealers was a caprice; to
wearers, a revelation. 1Forthe first time
in their lives they could use their arms
freely when they were "dressed;" for
the first time raise, wave them, throw a
stone. hit a ball, or in any other way ex-
ercise them without pulling up, disar-
range or dislocating some part of the
machinery which girded their arms or
waists. Does any one suppose they are
such idiots as to give up this newly ac-
CURED freedom? The jersey may dis
appear for a time, though even that, is
not probable, but the woven garment
in that or some other shape will survive
and save the multiplicity of costumes,
the necessity which has heretofore ex-
listed for a special dress for boating or
ballplaying, for gymnastic training or
any healthful exercise whatever, and
has greatly hindered the practice of ac-
tive games and useful arts by the major
ity of girls. So 5iH.lar

Saving Seed,

Every farmer can do much TO improve
his crops by carefully selecting his seed.
This is a well known fact, but it Is too
infrequently acted on. 1t may not be
practicable for the farmeri in the case of
the small grains to select, individual
ears and preserve them for seed, but if
fplats OF the best filled and strongest
gro wing grain were selected and
thfeshed separately from the wheat,
oat or barley field, no one will deny that
much improvement might be made in
these crops with very little trouble or
expense. There are other crops of
which it is easy to select the best indi-
vidlal specimens. the choicest ears of
corn or potatoes from the best and most
productive hills The best time to do
this is at harvest. AS the potatoes are
dug, the best specimens of the finest
hills can be readily preserved, and the
trouble will be a hundred fold repaid in
more abundant yield. The best time to
secure seed corr is when it is being cut.
Select such ears as you desire and keep
them where they will not freeze till per-
!ectly dry, andsif they are never ex-
posed to cold below freezing no harm
will DE done.
It is a good plan to put aside grain
suitable for seed, a little more than will
be needed. 1t is much better than to
run around the neighborhood after seed
oats or barley or buckwheat when 1t is
time to SOW them, and generally at much
less expense. 1t is but little trouble to
save many garden and flower seeds, and
will not only save many five-cent papers
OF seeds, but perhaps disappointment,

Five Necessary Rules.

A schoolin Massachusetts recommends
to its 200 girl students a sensible school
dress, of which the following are some Of
the features: l. 1t is to consist of sim
gle layers of clothing, so that warmth
shall be equally distributed ove the
body. 2. 1t should be sufficiently loose
not to impose restrictions upon the free
and active use of the muscles. 8.
The materials should be soft, %unexciting
in color and undistinguishable in pattern.
4. The design should suggest rather than
outline the figure, unless the material is
elastic, and should be divided into few
parts in order to be free from distrac-
tions. s.. 1t should avoid whatever is
unnecessary or that takes time and
strength that could be better put into
work or play.
The combination undergarment OF
knitted wool or cotton or both, the skirt
OF pialted WOOL attached to q lining
waist cut with a spring yer the hip, and
all the requirements for such a dress. Ii
the %polonaise is employed, the lining
waist may be extended so as to require
only q deep plated iource of the wool
to bring it to the length of a walking
skirt, thus rendering it lighter, and
cheaper.
The %polonaise should be plated at the
back, q part of the tullress being taken
out of the waist, and cut with a whole
sack front which could be belted in. The
sleeves should be cut very high and
somewhat full at the top, so as to SUR
round the arm at the socket and allow
free movement. All dress skirts made
of wool should be attached to q lining
waist, as this eGualizes both warmth and
weight. if"Tfi faIlii tHjt ID a l1 2

the names of American villages, and in

Inconsistencies. The voyagers to the new
land sought to find something homelike
in their surroundings, and gave to places
familiar home names. The New Eng

fish names, and in the south the home
sickness showed itself in a religious fer
vor, giving to places the names of saints
and holy emblems. In the later gener-
lions, to whom ..there was no dearer
place than their colonial home, the
sweet.1owing syIlables of the Indians
were applied to river and town; and in
a later period the Yankee in
genuity was made manifest in nsmen-
c!ature as well as in other things
and a variety of names were invented
which were advertising mediums as
well as, easy distinctions. The family
name was immortalized in the village or

most harmonious. But the railway be-

Food Value Of a DAIRY Cow.
