Alexandria's Strange Man.

From the Alexandria City Item.
Josiah Bailey, who was buried yesterday
from the almshouse in this city. had strange and
mysterious, ana withal, melancholy history. He
was harylnnder, and lawyer of considerable
prominence Mt one time. Ii is said of him that he
was married three times, and that he paid his two
first wives each large sum of money to grant
separation, and that his third wife left him. 1t is
said he lived with his last wife in circular hut,
with walls several feet thick formed of oyster shells
and pitch. and it from this curously construct
ed abode she escaped and ran away. After his wife
left him he deserted his curious house ana all
within it and came to this city, where
he lived like a hermit. When he
first came here he made scanty liv-
ing by teaching colored night schools. Among his
strange habits was to prefer the company of col
ored people. and he had decided aversion to clean
clothes or cleanliness of person, SO much so that
the keeper of the almshouse compelled to force
him to wash himself and change his
clothes, and one occasion when she
ordered n colored man to scrub him and
change his clothes after it was done he lef
the almshouse and remained away several weeks
That feeling of weakness and languor, which
S often the forerunnel of serious disease, is en-
irely overcome by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Take

Destruction In South Cnrollna.

CHARLESTON, S, c., September l2.-TSpe-
cial. Tho news from the agricultural districts
in this state is of the gloomiest character. The
autumnal rains started at least two weeks
ahead of the regular season, and played havoc
with the cotton in the highlands. The long
and protracted rain fall finally eliminated in
series Of the most damaging Hoods that has
ever occurred in this state.
In the upper part Of the state, where there
are no freshets, rains have helped the work OF
destruction. The one bright spot in the piot-
urc is in the vicinity OF Charleston. The te-
cent cyclones did not reach here and the rice
crops ON the Cooper, Ashley, Combabee and
Salthahtchoc rivers are regarded rs ccmpara-
lively safe, as these rivers are mostly salt water

A Dollar n Week and Board.

Some Bohemian laborers had agreed
to go to work in a tinshop in Philadel-
phia for 81 a week and board. They
had made a contract on shipboard with
the owners Of the tinshop, who were
passengers, binding themselves to work
two years at the sum named. They were
very anxious to land and get on to
Philadelphia for the 81 a week bo-
nanza that was promised them, but the
collector said no, the agreement was q
violation of the contract labor law, and
their dreams of opulence in the land of
the free and home of the brave were
rudely shattered. A dollar a week and
board does not seem much a windfall and
yet there are hundreds-I might say
~thousands-of men in New York at this
moment who would be glad to get it.
The other day the Herald modestly al
luding to its value as an advertising
medium, mentioned the circumstance
that one advertisement in its columns
for an assistant bookkeeper brought
some S75 applications for the place. The
Evening World lately had a reporter
tramping all over town, day after day,
applying for employment to persons
who had advertised for help, aud then
writing up his experience, the sum and
substance to which was that every place
he applied for was taken before he
could get around to it. For the ten
t~housandth time the warning may be
given to men out Of work to stay away
from New York unless a place has been

How to Be Photographed to the Best POI

How to Be Photographed to the Best Pos
sible Advantage.
"Only one person should go with a
child when it is to be photographed"
said camera artist. "Instead, several
people. are apt to accompany it, he
continued. 1.-The younger it is the
more 60 to see the little dear when its
picture is taken If it's baby all the
female relatives handy constitute them
selves into a body guard for the infant
on its important trip to the photographs
er's. Even it's proud papa will
neglect his business to be present at
the ceremony. They all have to in
spect the child, comment upon it. and,
even if it is too young to understand
what is said, manage to get it into a
state of nervous fdgets before the
operator ever lays eyes upon it. Ii
the entire family think it is imperative
to come to the studio with the subject,
but one individual should be permitted
to enter the operating room with it.
Three or four persons in the room only
serve to attract the youngsters atten-
ton and lessen the chances of obtain
ing a good picture.
''No attempt should be made to get
a child photographed in any but bright
weather. The middle of the day is the
best time for a sitting. Children
should always wear light-colored
frocks when sitting for pictures.
Light tones harmonic with their
compilations and photograph in
less time than darker hues. Navy blue,
seal brown, dark green, wine color,
maroon and cardinal all take dark.
Light green, brown, scarlet, gray and
purple take light Rose color, laven-
der. yellow and pale blue nearly white.
In white material the cream tint is
more desirable than pure white. Black
silk or velvet take as dark as ink.
at is as easy to get good pictures of
children as of grown folk if people
would attire the little ones in suitable
colors and simple style, not make them
nervous before they reach the studio
and leave them entirely to the opera
tor after they are there. Grown peO-
pie would secure more satisfactory pic
lures of themselves, too, if they'd trust
more to the operators judgment and
less to their own. People ought to
think about the details of their dress
and hair arrangement before they come
in front of the cam era. AS rule the
more simple the attire and couture the
more pleasing and natural the picture.
Proofs should never be examined in
bright light, as they fade SO rapidly.
It's no guide to the photographer to
send back two or three proofs with the
message finish from the darkest one,
or, the lightest one, for they are all
liable to be of the same shade when
they reach him. y Chicago NeaOs

ALL ABOUT MUSTARD.
How the Seed Lis Made to Furnish Oil ans

How the Seed Is Made to Furnish Oil and
Flour.
''Where does mustard come fromP"
replied wholesale spice dealer to
reporters inquiry. "Most everywhere
1t is of two varieties. One is white
and the other is black. The first is
called English, and the other masque-
rades under a score of other titles.
The English is full of flour, lacks pun
gency and is seldom used alone. The
other kind contains a large amount of
oil, said to average Is to 80 per cent
The best variety comes from Italy and
is known as Trieste. There are many
varieties of this kind grown in Califor-
MIA, of every shade of quality; also in
other States. That known as Kentucky
is very pungent. F"
do farmers generally raise itp"
eff they don't it is their own fault.
They can. 1t requires little or no Gull
tivation, but most of it is not worth
handling"
''How is it prepared"
Usually by COMPRISING the seed to
extract the oil because the seed is
much more easily worked when the oil
is out, and because there is now a
ready market for the oil as salad oil, it
being in many respects equal to the
best olive oil. To extract the oil re-
quires very powerful hydraulic pressure,
and a suitable press would cost from
81, 500 to $4,000. Large dealers in the
principal cities operate in the seed or
crude stock and press it and supply the
trade with what is known as mustard
cake, formed by the process of ex-
tracing the oil, and which contains
every thing except the oil-the same
precisely as linseed cake. After this
the pressed seed is separated from the
bran to extract the flour. Pure mus
tard can not be ground in mills, and
unless it is very much adulterated it
can not be ground at all, on account Of
the oil retained in the cake. The
usual process, therefore, is to take say
100 pounds and put quantity of the
broken cake in a pot or mortar and
pound and sift it so as to extract
about so per cent. The machinery
used for pounding the mustard is
simple continuance, called sometimes a
stamp mill, being battery of Founders
ranging in number from two up to
sixteen. The process is slow but very
simple. After passing through the
Founders the mustard cake-now re-
duced to the consistency of soft mid
dlings-is transferred to series of
sleeves, the fine falling into recepta-
Gle below. This bolted flour of mustard
is strictly pure, and is as pure as it is
possible to make it from the stock you

bad.

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-

of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet " style of journalism. Of all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in hurry

Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all

condition of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
moro papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
SIN considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal jour
