A Fatal Enforcement.

Mr.. Roe's publisher, with whom he
has had intimate relations for many
years, says: ''Mr. Roe was one of the
most successful authors whose works we
have ever published, and more agreea-
BILE associate we have never met within
our business experience. He was bril-
liant, great hearted man, different from
those novelists who advocate philanthro-
ply in their books, but do not practice
it. His goodness of heart brought him
to the verge of ruin not long ago. Two
years since he Endorsed big note for
his brother. The brother did not pay
up, and Mr.. Roe had to foot the bill.
Several of his relatives were indorsers
with him, but to shield them he took the
burden of settling it alone. He was
obliged to sell his copyrights in order to
raise the money. Yet I never heard him
complain. He went on with his work
serenely, although much crippled finan-
cially, and only labored the harder to
get on his feet again. I do not think he
was worth much money at the time of
his death. His income lately has been
something like $3.50 a year, but the
loss incurred by indorsing that note pro-
badly took away great part of his say
ings.-Cosmopolitan.

A Suggestion for Old Boxes.

Do mothers and nurses know how
much enjoyment and fun can be had
out of different styles of boxes that
we SO often ruthlessly destroy? fall
the members of the family will save
the boxes they will find, some stormy
day when children are forced to re-
main indoors, that trip to the at
tic (where the boxes can be kept will
afford a great deal of amusement:
The little girls of the family will Sc.
lect a good-sized box for new kind
of dolls house, and mamma or nurse
can easily teach them how to cut
cardboard furniture to furnish this
little house. fit is summer time,
make a tiny house out ofan old card
board box, and paste on to it dried
moss, then set it on a shingle and
have a little gravel path leading up
to the door. On one side have bit
of looking-glass for a pond, and some
branches of evergreen boughs for
trees. You can add whatever else
you like to make it look like an old
fashioned farmhouse. This simple
toy has kept little girls happy for
whole summers.
The boys can use the boxes for
theatres, Punch and Judy and many
different kinds of shows.
The baby will be amused with an
old tin box, some beans or pebbles
put inside, and the outside covered
with some bright-colored flannel aft
er the cover, is firmly fastened. This
will make a good rattle, and if a
string be tied to the box it can be
drawn on the floor, or be suspended
from the chandelier and swung if the
baby is too young to walk.
All these simple things have been
helps to many mothers and nurses
on rainy Gays, when the expensive
toys of the nursery have grown old
and the little children are longing for
something new.
When you go away from home for
the summer put some boxes and
bright colored papers and cloths into
your trunk; you will find them use
full and very acceptable when the
children cannot have their own nur-
sery or the toys it contains.

The Big ParaSOl.

Speaking of the large parasols, the
London Telegraph says: The new
form is decidedly not coquettish.
This combined alpenstock and
tent" cannot serve to hide a smile or
stand sentinel over a betraying blush;
it is ponderous and ungainly, and
yet there is possibly a scientific sug-
gestion for it's sudden existence. When
waists were born low, the hands
naturally fell to the frontier of the
bodice and rested on the parasol
handle. AS waists rose, the handle
of the shade-produces, or rain-averter,
rose after them, so that when the
:'Directoire" fashion came boldly in,
and the central sash creptup toward
the throat, the hands rose with the
sash, and the umbrella-for it would
be ridiculous to call these structures
overwhelmingly went after the
hands. They are utilized, it is stated,
for carrying all manner of feminine
requisites, just as our gilded youths
carry matches and cigarettes in their
walking sticks, and those minute
toilet mysteries of which it is not
lawful to speak in detail, but which
the stern conditions of our Inmate
necessitate, are alleged to be cunning
ly concealed in the huge bonbonniere
that, as a rule, surmounts this mod
ern maiden's mast. Still the question
arises "Quosque tendem?" and we
are inclined to think that she will be
wise and patriotic in these times who
shall boldly adventure the first move
in the sensible direction of restricting
the formidable dimensions of these
sun-shading, two-handled saplings,
for in truth they are just now of an
inartistic, gigantic and grotesque
character.

m.as mind Through vanity.

About q year ago one OF the most
lovely girls in the state lived at 40
Orange avenue, in this city. s rnir OF
large; LIQUID blue eyes set off a face that
would put airy picture to shame, and
her form was simply perfect. The
young lady was highly edueated, and
possessed all the qualities that go to
make up society belle. Her parents
are well to do, and she has wanted for
nothing since she was old enough to
prattle. But she had one fault, and
that fault has proved her undoing. Il
is called vanity. She fairly worshipped
her own eyes, and did everything In her
power to make them look more beauti-
full than they were. She used numer-
GUS drugs before che found what she
wanted. This last drug made her eyes
sparkle like diamonds, and che used it
to such an extent that her right eye
began to shrivel. This brought her to
her senses, and the family physician was
called in. But he came too late, and in
formed the poor girl that she must lose
one of her eyes sure, and probably both.
The right eye was taken out some time
ago, and she has lost all sight in the
left, and will be blind for life.-Evsus-

EnpII.h VIII NOT Have II.

In nothing is the contrast between
English and American temperaments
better illustrated than in the readiness
which our people show for radical
changes in the way of improved travel.
A new invention to expedite the hand
ling of freight or baggage is at once
caught up here, but in England they
will not even change from the old sys-
tenn of checking and rechecking bag
gage. One large English road sent
across commission to look over our
railroad system and report available i'm
provements. The report favored our
American plan of checking, but the
English people will have none of it.
They prefer to see to the delivery OF
their baggage to the cars and from
them. But their special adherence is
our open cars and Pullman system. To
an American this looks like inexcusable
old fogyism. Globe Democrat.

Mr.. Nimrod-I say, Mister Editor,
did you know that I was out hunting
yesterday?
Editor-No; I hadn't heard of it.
''Well, I was, and thought perhaps
you might want to make local notice
of it, so I came over to give you the
particulars.
''Did you kill anything?"
''Well, I should say so. I made one
of the most remarkable shots on record

Double GlrdIe. for slender Girls.

A new device suitable for the cos
tunes of slender women is the double
girdle. The waist of the dress for this
purpose is made unusually long and
loose, and then metallic belt of some
sort is worn just above the hips, while
another encircles the body three or four
inches higher up. The effect is to i'm
part an appearance of suppleness and
grace. The suggestion for the dupli-
cate girdle was probably found in the
ballots of the eastern nautch girls. It
is certainly novel and seductive. I saw
at Lenox several elegant morning dress
es made for these double belts in India
cashmere and faille in contrasting col
ors. Some of the tea gowns similarly
encircled were wonders in richness.
The picturesque and fanciful costumes
of oriental countries had all been laid
under tribute to furnish ideas for these
luxurious garments.-New York Cor.

Wild Dogs in GeOr gia.
Marietta Journal.

Marietta Journal.
1t will be news to many that the
wild dogs are still to be found in Will
kes county. While some negroes were
burning off brush the other day, a
litter of puppies, long-haired and
closely resembling the Scotch collie
breed, were found in hollow log.
They were exceedingly fierce, and
negro tradition has it that their par
ents have been frequently seen in the
locality. The old dogs are said to be
very wild, and ugly looking custom
ers to come in contact with. The
probabilities, however, are that the
puppies in question are the offsPrings

Recklessnes Concerning Drugs.

There is absolutely no limit to the
recklessness of women with drugs,
especially those proper to the toilet.
One woman fancied carbolic acid
would improve her skin, and SO it
will, diluted enough. But she used it
strong, till the skin of her face crack
ed, peeled and-that was not the
xorst-left a downy growth which
spoiled originally decent cheeks.
Another thought cold baths the finest
stimulant in the world, and took a
plunge in the coolest well water twice
a day in warm weather. till she had
to give up, with her thear probably
injured for life. Another believed in
hot baths, and after unlimited trial
came out so weakened that it took
years to restore her.
Moderation is the rule for all treat
ment, but most persons learn it too
late, and miss the lifelong benefit
they might derive from the agencies
they wear out in year or two.
Electricity has been sadly overdone
by women who fancied they knew
enough to treat themselves, bought a
small battery and tried to use it as
bank of vitality. Students try to
do double work by aid of this fear
full stimulant, and find outfit Skaters
their nerves in less time than alcohol.
1t is OF no use to try to find a philos-
opher's stone, or an Aladdin lamp,
or any substitute for the painstaking
process of developing care and judg-
ment for ones self. You cannot by
any marvel of science give health or

The Grand Hall Of Karnak.

Edward L. Wilson, Scribner's for October
1t covers more space than the
cathedral at Cologne and has wall
capacity sufficient to surround Notre
Dame of Paris. The central avenue
of the hall is supported by twelve
massive columns nearly eighty feet
high and thirty-six feet in circumfer-
snce. They sustain the tremendous
slabs of stone, which once formed the
roof. A few steps further and we
are in a perfect Mariwosa of columns.
Besides the twelve which support the
central avenue there are one hundred
and twenty-five Others Of nearly the
same proportions, all covered with
nieroglyphic sculpture from base to
capital. The eye is bewildered by the
surrounding objects, SO splendid in
their ruin. When we contemplate
the mysterious religion to which this
mighty fame was dedicated and the
:ofty civilization of the people who
reared such a sublime edifce, the
mind is strained and the senses are
COMPOUNDED.

The invention of the phonograph and
graphophone has brought out the singu-
lar fact that few persons, if any, know
the sound OF their own voice. When
several persons in succession have spoken
into one of these machines, each may
recognize in its reproductions the voice
of friend or acquaintance, but does
not identify his own. An analogous
phenomenon has been observed IN the
matter of sight by photographers, who
often satisfy in likeness every one but
the original. Thus it seems that we not
only do not see ourselves as others see
us, but we do not hear ourselves as
others hear us.
