IL read in The Sun recently" said bright

have a very dear friend who was a class mate
of mine in college. She was a real pretty
girl, but she was greatly annoyed at the fact
chat few hairs were growing on her chin
and upper lip They really did not look bad,
more like the down on beautiful peach than
anything else, but they were eyesores to her.
She tried everything to get rid Of them, and
finally was persuaded to try electricity. Ap
experienced physician performed the opera
ton, and left her face as smooth as billiard
ball Six weeks later the hairs returned,
greatly increased in size and several shades
darker This time they really did look bad
and the poor girl was almost wild. She has
never been able to do anything with them
since, and, unless she clips them every day
a very tiresome operation-her face looks as
though she were really growing beard. The
best way for woman is to leave her face
alone. She only spoils it by tampering. San

Maria Henriette, queen of the Belgians, has
gone in for editing Like Miss Cleveland and
other distinguished women before her, she
and her youngest daughter, Clementine, have
started a magazine Of an inoffensive type,
which is called La Jeune File The idea is to
keep young girls up in household matters
The queen writes about the way to keep
house and theatrical criticism, while her
daughter, who signs herself Martha d'Orey,"
does art and literature. Carmen Sylvia,
which is the nom de plume of the queen of
Roumania, has been engaged on the staff to
write poem for every number, and it is ex-
pected that Stephanie, the crown princess of
Austria, will do the pictures
If the Archduchess Marie Valera comes
into the scheme, as is probable, this paper
will be an altogether aristocratic affair.
Their chance of journalistic success, however,
would have been very much better had they
started a society paper and each engaged to
write all they know about her husband and
his friends, the king of the Belgians and the
crown prince of Austria being among the
most notorious types of European royalty

People who rarely eat meats that are fried,
but have them broiled instead, complain of
those who do as victims of the frying pan. a
traveller describes the cooking of a beefsteak
by saying that the meat was cut to the thin,
ness of wafer. The frying pan was on the
fire filled to a third of its depth with lard,
drippings, rancid bacon fat or some other
form of abomination. Into this the thin
slivers of meat were plunged, and fried, fried,
fried until they were of the chips chippy.
Mutton, pork, ham and even venison all dance
to the same music. Spinach, turnip tops and
other greens were boiled and baptized with
grease. 1t was hog meat everywhere
hog meat for breakfast, hog meat for dinner,
hog meat for supper, always fried and served
UP in its own grease A caustic observer
says that the devil of indigestion holds full
sway in certain localities because the frying
pan has firm grip on the affections of the
men, sallow faces like corpses, having perfect
satisfaction with the country; a lack of
strong high ambition; women, gaunt, bag
gard, and hopeless looking, all trace of
womanly beauty long since gone, every line

neglect of all sanitary laws, and UNMARRIED

Never Too Cold.

1t is never too cold for the girl to go out
shopping who has a sealslin sacque. If it
is only a spool of silk she wants, she will
gayly trip down town for it, though the
thermometer marks 20 degs. below zero And
we don't blame her, for sealskin sacques were
not manufactured for summer wear. They

DEAR DIR. PRENTICE: Before you leave
SAP Antonio should like TO express my ap:
probation of the benefit have received from
your treatment of my eyes, not only as a per-
sonal matter to yourself but hoping it may
help to convince any one intending to. or
thinking of consulting you, of your scientific
methods and your skill in the prescription of
glasses on the most exact mathematical for
mula. Two years ago my eyes We're exam
ined and fitted to glasses by one of the most
eminent specialists in the east, who has also
a fine reputation as author of many scientific
treatises on optics. and the treatment of the
most complicated diseases of the eye. He
diagnosed mine as having incurabe muscu
lar and nerve defects which could only be re-
lieved by properly adjusted glasses,
which were ground for me according to his
prescription. and which I believe really
saved me from blindness, greatly correcting
the sight and relieving the nerves. Still,
however, though even when In the best of
health, l suffered intensely at times from
neuralgia and inflammation of the eyes. On
consulting you and having my eyes examined
by the chart of your own invention, and be-
ing fitte ed with glasses made expressly for me
by your prescription, my eyes are wonderful
ly clearer and stronger. Even on wearing
them very short time | could not resume my
old glasses. which till now thought perfect,
without pain, and decided decrease in visual
range. These glasses are as great an i'm
provement on others as they were at first on
my eyes without them. Only those who have
suffered with their eyes can understand what
II is to be relieved, and only those to whom
perfect eyesght is not only the greatest of
blessings but an absolute necessity, can fully
appreciate it.
With best wishes, | am very truly yours,

RAIL AND CRossTIE.

Supt W. W. Starr of the southwestern
division of the Central is in the city.
General Manager Gabbett of the Central
came in from Atlanta yesterday on the fast
mail
The CordeEean says that there is every
prospect for the early completion of the
Atlanta and Florida railroad from Fort
Valley to Cordele. This will insure the
extension of the South Brunswick road to
Cordele, thus giving through direct route
from Atlanta to Cordele.
The Central railroad is preparing to build
three iron bridges between Columbus and
Macon, over Rocky, Tobesofkee and Tagror
creeks. One of the bridges will be 122 feet
long, another 100 feet, and another fifty
Ieet. Some Of the iron for the bridges has
been received in Columbus.
The Northeastern railroad held its an
nual meeting in Charleston day before yes
day and elected the following officers:
resident, A. F. Ravenel; directors, w. J.
Walters, II. B. Plant. J. B. Palmer, G. o.
Wlte, b. F. Newcomer, and H. Walters.

In the matter of South American railroad
development, it is of interest to note that at
the end of the year 1888 Brazil had $3.50
miles OF road in operation, while 945 miles
were IN course of construction In the
Argentine Republic the length Of lines in
operation on Dec. 81, 1888, amounted to
1924 miles, while work on 2,874 miles was in
progress.

The October report Of the operations of
the Savannah, Americas and MONTGOMERY
railroad is most gratifying to the friends Of
the road, as well as complimentary to its
management. The Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery company has done a vast
amount Of work the present year. Besides
widening the gauge and laying sixty-pound
steel rails from Americas to Abbevllle.
slxty-two miles, it has built sixty-five miles
additional, from Abbeville to Sterling. On
TINS extension, track has been laid to the
Oconee river. and will be completed to
Sterling by Jan l, at which time the com
pany has the promise that the Savannah
and Western will meet them, when
a through schedule will be put on
between Americas and Savannah. Prep
arations are also being made for widening
the gauge and putting down heavy rails on
the western division, between Americas and
Lumpkin. This road has greatly devel-
oped the section of country through which
1t passes, ard its influence in add
ing to the material prosperity of
Americas is almost beyond computation.
The total earnings of the road for October
this year were 50, 532 %, against 81, no 50
IN 1855. The total current expenses last
month were $9,0SS So, against 81, 3O3 80 for
