fashionable Powder Racs.

What is thiss A handkerchief" asked a
Madison avenue hostess, as she picked up
from tie foor three inch square OF dainty
cambria, he:astitched and trimmed on the
edge With lace. 1t was reception day, and
the guests had just left, but by some chance
the article in question had been left behind. =
''Let's see, mamma" said the daughter.
''Ch, that isn't handkerchief" she con-
tnued, t'that is a face dolly, or, to express it
less elegantly, powder rag All tie girls
carry them"
These face dollies have become feature of
fashionable walking or evening toilets They
are carried in the center of the handkerchief,
and-in order to make them secure they are
pinned in with small safety pins. The dolly
is well rubbed with lily white or any other
popular powder, and can be applied without
detection. When the owner feels that her
face viii be more attractive By the use Of
powder, she has only to bring her handker-
chief up to her face.
It is very amusing to witness the skill with
which this whitening process accomplished,

Ladies' Eair.

Long and thick hair is so scarce among
ladies that when one comes to have her head
washed who has full suit she is always the
subject of remark and envy. Not moro than
one III ten ladies have full suits. Some who
had long and thick hair as children have lost
most of it through carelessness. The hair
will fall out if not kept clean, and many find
that, after reaching certain length, it breaks
of. However, if lady has just enough hair
to hold switch the hairdresser will do the
rest. Style, moreover, has favored the short
haired, for less and less hair has been worn
lately. From the immense waterfalls to the
present scanty head dress is a wonderful
change. Switches are universally worn, but
in constantly decreasing size. Still a woman
with long hair is to be envied, for her hair
will always look natural Aswitch needs re-
freshing, because, without the natural oil Of
the head to keep it bright, it will look differ
ent from the wearer's own hair. Some sleep
in their switches so that they may take the
oil from the head, but this is bad for the
scalp, making it too hot and causing the hair
to fall out. So many ladies wash their hair so
seldom that do not wonder they lose it

RoSc Insects.

The insects most harmful to roses are the
green fly, red spider, rose hopper or thrips,
ard the rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though these insects involves some little trou-
ble yet success will attend all persistent ef-
forts The green fly, the thrips end the black
slug can ali be kept under by Swinging the
plants with solution of whale oil soap. One
pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons Of
water Throw the water in fine spray on
the under as well as the upper side Of the
leaves a syringe with bent nozzle is the
best instrument with which to apply the
liquid to the lower sides Of the leaves. The
red spider can be held in check by Swinging
the leaves with clear water; in dry times this
should be done every day. If the rose bug
(melolontha subSpinosa) makes its appearance,
which is not very often, it can be destroyed

THE ABERNATaY NURDERERs.
Two Convicted and One Acquitted-One
Pleads Guilty Of Attempted Rape.

YoRKvnLE, April 4.-[Special to The
Register. THE detachment of the
jenkins Rifles having in charge the
Abernathy murderers arrived here safely
Yesterday afternoon from Columbia, and
was met by the remainder of the COM
pany, under command of Lieutenant g..
c. Strauss, and escorted to the Jail
where the prisoners were safely locked
up, and detachment placed on guard.
Quite crowd followed them to the jail,
but the brass buttons and shining
helmets of the military seemed more
than anything else to be the attraction.
The trial of these prisoners took place
in the Court of General Sessions to-day,
and resulted-in the conviction of Charles
Colston and John G. Feaster. and the ae-
quittal of Charles McManIs. Jackson
Barnett pleaded guilty of attempting to,
rape Abernathy's daughter.
The Jenkins Rifles are still on guard

Ice In q Hurry.

Take a tall cylindrical jar-which Of ne
ceSity must be earthenware. Pour into it
an ounce and three-quarters of water and
three and one-third ounces of the sui phuric
acid of commerce. Then add one ounce of
sulphate OF soda in powder. In the center of
this mixture stand small earthenwsre YES
sci, and let it contain the water which it is
desired to freeze into ice. Cover the middle
vessel, and then, if possible, revolve the whole
affair by gentle motion. In a few minutes
the inner vessel will contain a block of solid
ice, whilst the outer ingredients can be used a
second or even third time to produce fur
ther blocks of ice by pouring more fresh
water into the inner receptacle. Work in
a cool place. If greater bulk Of ice is wanted
increase the mixture in the same proportion.

Beauty and Bathing.

So much has been said about bathing, per
haps there. is little new to be told. Yet, II
its connection with beauty, too much canrot
be said.
Bathe intelIgently, battle conscientiously.
We hear discussed the relative merits of cold
and warm baths think the warm bath,
properly taken,- the greatest promoter Of a
clear, soft, rosy skin. An eminent hysician
recommends the warm bath to be taken twice
week.
After carefully drying the body with soft
linen, apply rose water and pure glycerine,
using then, in mixture Of equal parts well
shaken. Rub into the skin, then put on the
night robe warm It is hoped that no one
desirous of beautiful skin will wear any
garment at night that IS worn during the
day. Allow no cold surface to come in con-
tact with the body after warm bath, but
get Immediately into bed The good effect Of
such bath, followed by a nights rest where
in an even temperature IS kept up for eight
or nine hours, will be felt at once. Add to
this formula sweet temper and mind at
peace with all the world and the silkeu rose
petal may not outvie a woman's sskin.-Dress.

ChaDDcl Hands,

From those suffering from chapped hands,
or for those liable to them, nothing can excel
the healing qualities OF mutton tallow. TEis
may be bought at the druggists or made at
home, and ought to be kept in every house.
Take the fat of mutton, usually that around
the kidney, and try out, strain, pour into q
cup and put aside to harden. If liked it can
be taken from the cup before it is very hard,
and worked into q ball, and in this shape is
much more convenient for use than if left re
manning in the cup. To apply it, first hold
it before or over fire until the surface near
the fire is soft, then rub this soft tallow to the
afflicted parts, working it gently into the
skin. 1t is very soothing and gives relief al.
most Immediately. There are very few cases
of chapped hands, provided proper attention
is paid to washing and wiping them, that will
not yield readily to this treatmeut.-Cor.

Tho Pig Pen Puzzle.

No house is complete now without its pig
pen and four little pigs Pigs in Clover" IS
the latest toy and puzzle, and it is having
great run. The puzzle consists of a circular
block offswood, with pasteboard rim around
it, and three other paper rims in concentric
circles inside the outer one. Each Of these
inner rings of cardboard has ON opening in it
andt the openings are on opposite sides The
inside ring of all is two inches in diameter,
and IS covered over. 1t is called the pen.
Four marbles are placed in the outer division
Of the box. These arc the pigs. The test OF
skill is to get them oil into the pen without
touching them with the fingers. The box IS
manipulated in one or both hands, 60 that
tho marbles roll one at time through the
gates in the circular fences and finally into
tho inner inclosure.
They act very much like pigs, inesrnuch as
nobody can be sure Of them until he has them
all in the pen He may get three in, and,
while trying to put the fourth in, the others
viii run out. Anybody who has ever driven
pigs will appreciate the toy, and il every
body who appreciates it has driven pigs it
proves that there are thousands OF pigariverS

The South Booming.

According to the Baltimore Manutac.
turers' Record, the first three months Of
1889 have shown an unprecedented in.

opening of the new year that has not
witnessed the formation of companies

cute great enterprises, while the num-
Der of smaller but none the less import,
ant ventures bassurprisingly multiplied.
1t has not been boom in simply one
field, but general awakening in the
whole domain OF trade and industry.
Nor has it been confined TO limited
area or few States, but has been uni
versal throughout the South. The Re-
cord gives this glowing picture:
'Solthern furnaces are multiplying
new ones built from profits OF existing

ing power being so strong-based on
east experience-as to draw heavy in.
1estments of capital for building new
mills. Mining and railroad building,
too, go on at rapid pace. Some Of the
richest portions of the South are now
being opened to the approach of capital
and commerce. New towns and cities
are springing up, and even the most
finished Of the older municipalities are
bidding farewell to the spirit Of old
fogyism and welcoming the genius Of
enterprise.
That sounds grAldiloquent. bat our
contemporary gives figures to support
It's views. The new enterprises organ
lied or projected during the first three
rcnths of this year number nearly thir-
teen hundred, or two hundred more than
for the corresponding period last year,
while the capital and capital stock rep
resented by the enterprises of 1889 reach
ffty-eight million dollars, as against
thirty-eight millions for the first three
months of 1888.
This encouraging exhibit is matter
for congratulation North as well as
South, for Southern prosperity is an ele-
ment of national prosperity. y.-Ne'r York

THE RACE WAR IN OHIO.
Great Excitement Over the School Cues

New RICHMOND, Ohio, March 81 =
This place of 5000 population is the
scene of great excitement, which many
fear will end in trouble In no part of
the State has the law abollshing separate
schools for blacks caused so much
trouble as in this. This and Adams
Counties have particularly suffered, and
the court dockets are crowded with suits
of damages and criminal proceedings
growing out of the school rows At
Felicity recently one man was shot, a
number injured, and one house demol-
ished in an effort to forcibly eject col
ored children from the school house,
which was almost wrecked.
There are 200 black and 700 white
school children here. All the blacks con-
sented to remain in separate rooms eX'
cept the children of James Ringold.
They were made miserable in every way.
Ringold caused the matter to be brought
into the courts, suing the superintendent
of the schools and thirteen prominent
citizens for $4,000 damages. Last
Thursday the Circuit Court gave him
one cent and costs All the blacks then
rushed for the schools and Tough and
tumble time ensued, which ended yes
terday in the School Board closing the
schools until next September, though
three months of the present term re-
mains. Many whites and not a few
blacks are indignant that their children
must be deprived of three months
schooling, and the feeling runs high.
This has been one of the most ex-
citing Sundays the place has ever
known. The streets have been crowded
all day. All other topics were forgot

and wise men attempted to calm the i'm
petuous. Each side processes to fear

ton, if nothing else, is sure to follow.
There is prospect that mandamus

schools.

A Strange Eventful History.

Mile. Rousse1, the once celebrated actress,
is about to return to the scene Of her first
triuniphs. Her history is a strange one
During the war she nursed the wounded SOL
diers, like many other actresses, and her IA
miliarity with pain and death gave her
gloomy view Of life. She, however, con-
tinued her career, end created the role of
Carerlet in Emile Augier's play, but in the
lent Of 1876 Pere Didon preached at Notre
Dame, and his sermons imbued her afresh
with religious mania She used to lacerate
her flesh like Saint Theresa, and looked upon
herself as veritable Magdalen. She con-
ceived violent disaster for her profession; :;
tried literature, but failed; and eventually
entered convent. This secluded place she
left some time ago, being thereunto induced
by 4 young mystic and poet. Latterly she
reappeared on the stage at Cairo.-Epropean

PRYOR AND PROTECTION.
Some Facts from the Record Of An Ex
Confederate Who Predicts a Break il
the Solid South.

the Solid South.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries
have been commenting upon a recent
interview by the New York Herald with
Roger a. Pryor. Some of them appear
to regard him as an exponent of South
ern sentiment. Pryor announces that
the doctrine of protection will break the
Solid South and that our people are
drifting in that direction.
Roger A. Pryor has no right to express
any sentiment for the Southern people.
He has not lived this side of New York
in twenty-four years, and new genera
ton has come upon the stage of action.
He has less right to speak for the men
who fought the war through. At the
battle of Sharpsburg he had command
of a brigade. The story among the
soldiers then went that his conduct
was such that General Lee never
suffered him to have another
command during the war. He
was around A. P. Hills headquar-
ters at Petersburg as a kind of "inde-
pendent scout, going and coming as he
pleased. 4 short time before the fall Of
Petersburg he came to the picket line of
McGowan's brigade and crossed over
pretensively to get news about the Yam
Sees. He waved newspaper at a YAM
kee officer They met between the lines
and conversed for some time. Pryor
locked arms with him and walked into
the lines of the enemy. He turned his
back On old Virginia, his own State, and
everything Southern. He left his people
in the darkest hour in the face of the
enemy, who had their cannon trained
on the city where he had left his wife.
We know this to be true, for the
editor of the INedium wrote out for
Gen. Lee the full particulars of his de-
sertion as it was narrated by Lieut..
Reetler of Orr's Rifles, who was in com
mand of tie part of the picket line where
the desertion took place.
Roger A. Pryor Is no more tho expon
ent Of Southern sentiment than Bene-
dict Arnold was of American liberty :,
As to protection, South Carolina has
large and intelligent number of pseudo
Democrats who are of that way of think
ing. If our contemporaries wish to
know who these men are let them 60 to-
the legislative journals and count those
who voted to exempt cotton factories
from taxation for the period of ten
years. Those who voted such an Act
voted for the most odious kind of pro-
ction.-Abberllle Medium.
