been almost within his grasp. Once

made out, and it is alleged that on several

Summer Silks for Ladies.

The old-time summer silks are bein
used again in stripes, checks, bars ang
blocks, and these may be either thd
smooth lustrous surfaces, the twillee
surahs, or the basket-woven Louisined
The entire dress may be of one materias.
but this Is often improved by addinl,
touches of a contrasting color in ting
vest, the revers, collar and cuffs, while
the skirt is prettily adorned by a sashe
and, instead of tiounces, one or two
rows of scallops of contrasting color
are added at the foot. In such dresses
the effect of full skirt is given, founces
are avoided, and above the full skirt
there is a very bouffant drapery. A
pretty model of such dress is of Louis
inc, gray blue with cross-bars of red
about fourth of an inch apart, and all
the accessories of sash, scallops, revers,
ETC., are of plain red surah the shade of
that in the Louisine. Although this
dress appears to have full round skirt,
it is nevertheless made on gored foun-
dation skirt Of red silk, finished by silk
ot-pleatings. This skirt is, however,
concealed by another of the Louisine,
consisting of four straight breadths,
tdCh dDOul IN 1uCLlCS hAuCg
gathered to the belt to throw a great
deal of fulness in the back, and cut out
scallops on the lower edge. These seal
lops when finished are four inches deep
and very nearly two inches W de. In
the spaces between the scallops appears
another row of scallops of similar shape,
made of the red surah, and these are
supported by the knife pleatings of the
foundation skirt. A deep apron-over-
skirt covers the front and sides, being
caught up by the sash ends far back on
the left side, and the back shows only
the full gathered skirt just described.
The drapery extends up the right side
high on the hips, completing the apron,
and drops down in a point behind. The
short basque has revers of the red surah
up each side of white Grape plastron
that is placed across the front, plain at
the throat, and laid in three diagonal
folds on the chest. Such dresses are
similarly carried out in white China
silk with dull red velvet, in black surah
with olive green surah, and in black and
white striped silk with moire, either
white or black. Smooth silk in stripes
of two shades of gray blue or of dull red
makes very effective dresses with cream
white surah, or else with surah of the
shade of one of the stripes.

Chewing the Letter.

In "a government of laws and not of
men," as the Constitution of Massachu-
setts puts it, the people strenuously in
sist that the forms of law shall always
be observed A long while ago, the
Burghers of Stralsund, city of North
Germany, were made indignant by seeing
a notice, signed only by the Governor,
posted on the Rathhaus, ordering every
one passing through the streets at night
to carry a lantern.
AS the streets were not lighted, the
object of the Governor was to secure
public safety and convenience. But the
burghers were angry that he should issue
the order of his own motion, instead of
transmitting it, according to custom,
through the town-council.
So on the first night after the publiCa-
ton of the mandate, the citizens who
went out into the streets, and an unusual
number went, provided themselves with
lanterns, but put no lights in them.
The next morning another decree came
from the angry Governor, ordering that
each lantern should be furnished with a
candle. When night came, the candles
were in the lanterns, in strict compliance
with the order, but not one of them was
Hgnted, ana again inc NoNeIhOI puI-
pose was defeated.
Another order was then issued, COM
manding that each lantern should con-
tain lighted candle. The citizens
obeyed, but hid the lanterns under their
coats. Upon this, the Governor became
furious, and ordered the citizens, under.
penalty of punishment, to expose lighted
lanterns to view. The burghers again
did just as they were hidden, but pro-
vided wicks so tiny that the light there
by produced was no bigger than that of
a glow-worm.
The Governor then yielded, and COM
municated his order through the town
council. From that time the streets
were properly lighted by numerous
lanterns. Moreover the burghers had
won the victory finally, and thereafter all
orders went through the process of APP

Lazarus in Modern Times.

A few days ago heard sermon on
lazarus" and I've been thinking
about what sort of time Lazarus would
have in this day. Lazarus, 'full OF
sores," lay at the gate of the rich man,
who was "clothed in purple and fine
linen, and Jared sumptuously y every day. "
Lazarus wanted the crumbs that fell
from the rich mans table. Now, we
are all taught that the rich man was
very wicked and hard hearted, but sup
pose beggar in the fix of poor old Laza
nus should attempt to lie at the gate of
an Albanian, rich or poor, what would
be done2 The police would be tele-
phoned for, and the Black Maria would
carry Lazarus off the highways. The
rich man would have to give his share
toward the support of Lazarus, but Laz-
arus would have to take his support at
the poorhouse Ii he could get a goat
wagon, or if he were an idiOtic para
lytic, oriif he were even little child,

tentiary,pthe wise authorities might let
him alone, provided, of course, he
would consent to ''moye on" occasional

Had Been a Governor.

The old story has started up and is
going the rounds of the European diplo
matte circles relating to one of our Con-
suls. "At dinner given by promi-
nent native official, at which the whole
diplomatic corps were present, the
American was seated by the side of the
French Consul, who often addressed his
American colleague after the usual
French manner, as Monsieur. This did
not please the temper nor suit the dig
nifty of the gentleman of the eagle coun-
try, md he stood the supposed undue
familiarity on the part of the French
man until his patience became quite ex-
hausted, and then his pent up indigna-
tion burst forth in words more charac-
teristic for strength than elegance, and
are reported in about this strain: "By
thunder, Sir, I'd have you to understand,
Sir, that I've been Governor of the State
Of, State, Sir, larger than the
whole of your country, Sir, and I'll be
hanged if I'll be mounseered by you or
any one else."

An Old Rebels Two Sons.

During the campaign in Georgia I met
an old gentleman who at the outbreak of
the war was one of the bitterest rebels
of the section. He is unreconstructed
even now. He had two sons, one of
whom was at school in a Northern mill
tary institute, and the other in a similar
school in Virginia. When the news
came that Sumter had been fired upon
and that hostilities had actually begun,
he made speech in which he said that
he was too old to go to war himself, but
that he would give both of his sons to
defend his native State. He sent for
his sons to come home. Much to his
chagrin and rage, he found that one had
entered the Union Army. The old man
in public formally renounced him and
pronounced his curse upon him. Both
sons were killed in the war, and both
were buried upon the battlefield. A
short time ago the old gentleman made
a trip north and came back with the re-
mains. He buried them side by side in
the family lot and erected shaft When
the monument was unveiled thousands
of people came to see the inscription.
The shaft was of the purest white mar
BILE and covered both graves. Upon it
were the simple words, God knows

4 PUZZLE.

Old Nathan WAS out in the garden,
One beautiful flower sweet day,
Whep Dorothy, golden haired maiden,
Came pensively wandering that way.
Sand isn't this very fine weather.
I never saw finer" said he.
But she made reply, "Why, think it
As cheerless a morn as could be-"
''As oheerless" repeated old Nathan,
Half in doubt if he heard her Alright.
Then he muttered, "She's daft" for he
knew not
She had quarrelled with Robert last
night.
The day was departing; its sunshine
Had vanished; the wind whistled shrill;
The birds hurried home to their nestlings,
Aud the air grew quite heavy and chill.
The gardener hastened to shelter
His tender young plants, when again
Dolly passed him-ttis time with light
footsteps
And she called in the merriest strain,
"Oh, isn't the weather just lcvely?"
While her face fairly shone through the
mist
''She's daft" said old Nathan. He knew
not
The lovers had met and had kissed.

Sam Pointers Maidstone.

The Raleigh On. Y. Meas, says: Mr..
J. A Blackwell, of Reidsville was bitten
by a mad dog some days ago. Mention
was made of it in this paper. He was
bitten by his own dog the morning of
the 9th inst He applied the Sam
Pointer maidstone to the wound the
evening of the 9th. At the first appli-
cation the stone did not adhere very
tenaciously, but at the second applica-
ton, about two hours afterwards, it
stuck very rapidly and remained stick
ing tightly one or two hours, when it
fell off. The pores o. the stone were
filled with white, fcothy substance.
The stone was put in s vessel OF water,
slightly warmed, when green, greasy
looking substance arose upon the sur
face of the water. The stone was taken
out of the water few minutes after
wards, and was apparently free from
any foreign substance as before 1t was
used. The natural coicr of the stone
is black; one side of it being hard, solid
and glossy, while the other side is dull
looking and porous. The stone was
afterwards applied at intervals, each
time the adherence to the wound be-
coming weaker and weaker, until finally
it refused to stick at all. The stone
did not become discolored after the tlrst
application. This stone belongs to Sam
Pointer and George w. Barnett, OF RoX-
boro, Person County.

The Care of China.

To season glass and chInaware to sud-
den changes of temperature, so that it
will remain sound after exposure to sud-
den heat or cold, is best done by placing
the articles in cold water, which must
gradually be brought to the boiling
point, and then allowed to cool very
slowly, taking several honrs to do it,
The commoner the material the more care
in this respect is required. The very best
glass and chinaware is always seasoned,
or annealed, before it is sold. If the
wares are properly seasoned in this way
they may be washed in boiling water
without fear of fracture, except in frosty
weather, when, even with the best an
nealed wares, care must be taken not to-
place them suddenly in too hot water.
All china that has any gliding upon it
may on no account be rubbed with
cloth of any kind, but merely rinsed, first
in hot and afterward in cold water, and
then left to drain till dry. If the gild-
ing is very dirty and requires polishing,
it may now and then be rubbed with
soft piece of wash leather and little dry
whiting: but this operation must not be
repeated more than once year, other
wise the gold will most certainly rub off,
and the china be spoiled.
When the plates, etc., are put away in
the china closet, pieces of paper should
be placed between them to prevent
scratches on the glaze or painting, as the
bottom of all ware has little particles of
sand adhering to it, picked up from the
oven wherein it was glazed.
The china closet should be in dry
situation, as damp closet will soon tar
nish the gliding of the best crockery.
In common dinner service it is q
great evil to make the plates too hot, as
it invariably cracks the glaze on the sur
face, if not the plate itself. We all know
the result-it comes apart. Nobody
broke it." at was cracked before" or
sit was cracked long time ago."
The fact is, when the glaze is injured,
every time the "things" are washed the
water gets into the interior, swells the
porous clay and makes the whole fabric
rotten. In this condition they will also
absorb grease, and when exposed TO
further heat the grease makes the dishes
brown and d1scolored. If an old, ill
used dish be made very hot indeed fat
will be seen to exude from the minute
assures upon its surface. These latter
remarks apply more particularly to COM
mon wares.
