No Epidemic Feared,

Fl. G. Robertson of Springfield, MEM
Der of the graduating class at Tufts Col
lege divinity school, died of smallpox at
Williamstown few days ago. His case
was at first supposed to be rheumatic fe-
yer, and when it was found to be small

people. Mr. Robinson was a young man
of real missionary spirit and is supposed
to have contracted the disease in some of
his work among the poor. He arrived in
Williamstown only a few days before his
death and brought the disease with him.
Fears of an epidemic naturally arose but
were quickly allayed

Beauty and Bathing.

So much has been said about bathing, per
haps there. is little new to be told. Yet, u
its connection with beauty, too much cannot
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
clear, soft, rosy skin An eminent physician
recommends the warm bath to be taken twice
a 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 tho world and the silken rose
petal may not outvie q woman's ssAin---Dress

sOh, that isn't handkerchief" she con-
tlued, t'tbat is a face dolly, or, to express it
less elegantly, powder rag AL tie girls
carry them"
These face dollies have become a 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 will 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

The 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 circular
block ofwood, 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 an opening in It
anathe 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 ore 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, inas1nuch as
nobody can be sure of them until be has them
all in the pen. He may get three In, and,
while trying TO put the fourth in, the others
will run out. Anybody who has ever driven

The South Booming.

According to the Baltimore Manutoc-
turers' Record, the first three months Of
1889 have shown an unprecedented in
dusfrial activity in the South. Scarcely
week." it says, 'has passed since the
opening of the new year that has not
witnessed the formation Of companies
backed by millions of capital to prose
cute great enterprises, while the num-
Der of smaller but none the less import
ant ventures surprisingly multiplied. ="
It has not been boom in simply one
field, but a 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:
$50 lthern furnaces are multiplying
new ones built from profits OF existing
plants Southern cotton mills are in
creasing, faith in their dividend earn
ing power being so strUng-based Oh
EAST experience-as to draw heavy in
yestmeuts of capital for building new
mills. Mining and railroad building,
too, 90 on at a 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 spr!nging 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 cur
contemporary gives figures to support
It's views. The new enterprises organ
lied or projected during the first three
ncnths Of this year number nearly thlr-
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 1899 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 we'll as
South, for Southern prosperity is an ele-
ment of national prosperity. -New York

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

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 forciDly 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
ten. Ministers counseled forbearance,
and wise men attempted to calm the i'm
petuous. Each side processes to fear
violence from the other All the teach
ers will sue for their salaries for the re-
mainder Of the term, and costly litlga-
ton, if nothing else, is sure to follow.
There is prospect that a mandamus
will be asked for in the morning TO COM
pei the School Board to reopen the
schools.
