Women and Freckles.

The very best thing to uss for your face
during the summer weather is the cosmetic
which was known before the days of Cleo
patra; it is called Virginia. Milk, and is made
in this way: ITO a quart of rosewater add,
drop by drop, an ounce of tincture of ben
zoin, stirring it constantly" When you want
to use it throw enough in the hand basin to
make the water the color of skim milk, and
then battle your face thoroughly with it, dab
bling it dry with a soft towel. Now don't do
as many others have done and get benzine.
1t is tincture of benzoin that you want; and,
remember, especially during the summer,
that your face is not made of buckrah, but is
a tender skin, and should be wiped after its
bath with a soft rather than a harsh towel
II the men Of the family, who are so rough
skinned that boards grow on them like weeds
In flower garden, like these broom like
cloths, let them have the exclusive use of
them. If your skin is harsh and dry, use
wine glass full of glycerine in a warm bath;
according to a noted beauty few baths of
this sort ought to make the skin soft and
white.-Belus Babble in Sunny South

Bird Dog, Watch Dog, and Nurse.

Joe, a pointer dog belonging TO the family
of the Rev. Mr.. Flanders, of Ellaville, is a
faithful servant, and comes as near earning
his victuals and clothes as any servant in
town. Besides being a first rate bird dog,
ever ready for field sport, and good night
Waterman, he performs the services of nursery
maid and market boy with apparent enjoy

for airing morning and afternoon, hauls up
the packages from the stores and market,
minds the chickens and pigs, and pulls the
garden plow.-Savannah News

The discussion consequent upon the in
crease of leprosy in the east leads to curious
conflicts of opinion regarding its cause. One
authority declares it to be beyond question
the result of a hot and damp climate; another
says that it comes from bathing when in a
state Of perspiration; a third from sitting in
a draught; a fourth says that it is hereditary;
a fifth that it is contagious, and so is caught
like smallpox or scarlet fever; and another
accepts the sentiment of the Jews, and asserts
a belief in its being punishment for sim

N Editors Over Caution.
Many people make mistakes and lose a lot
by being too suspicious, too cautious. We
remember the last time we visited New York
city-with which place nobody else in Dodge
vile is probably so familiar A man came
up to us, as we stood ON our hotel steps after
taking noontine snack at Delmonico's, and
says he to us: THE editor of The Backwoods
Banner, presumed" We had the old bunco
game down fine, and, looking the man square
ly in the eyes, we replied: You presume too
much, sir. We are not the editor" This
was untrue, but justiiable under the circum-
stances) 81 beg your pardon" lie said,
touching his hat politely; ~ merely wished
to tender you ticket to the dinner of the
Press club this evening"" He felt hurt and
so did we. He had been received with I'M
necessary suspicion and we had missed a
good dinner. We merely mention this Incl
dent as a reminder to those who are always
saying go slow!" that it is not always wise
to go too slowly. We must risk something
if we would be truly great.-Dolgeville IN.

.,Is,or,caI novels NO Longer fopu,ar

Unless all author has a name which will
carry anything he chooses to send out it is
almost waste of time nowadays for rising
writer to spend his evenings on a historical
novel, By that mean publishers are ,.fraid
to venture upon historical fiction l saw a
practical illustration of this not long ago. A
New York author of fair reputation conceiv-
ed novel of historical plot and characters
He sent the manuscript from one publishing
house to another, until it had run the whole
gauntlet in New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia. In each case it was returned, and every
time the reason was given that historical
novels are unpopular with the public" All
agreed that the literary merit of the story
was unusually good, and deplored the fact
that so well written a novel should have been
historical in its scenes and personages.
In five of the letters the author was strong
ly urged to submit "a modern novel, with
people and events of today" | could not
but wonder at this seeming inconsistency, for
take the most popular novel issued for years,
Ben Hur," and the recently successful
novel, The Two Chiefs of Dunboy," and
both are historical Not only that, but the
fiction record for the past ten years will
show that of every ten historical novels pub
lshed nine were successful On the other
hand, take the modern novel" so called, and
but one in about thirty-five, believe, is the
percentage that is successful. lam not plead
ing for the historical novel, but doesn't it
seem strange that publishers will reject a
style of fiction which can show more distinct
successes than any other of an elevating
character: But the advice is good. Don't
write historical novel if you would have
easy acceptance of your work.-Cor Phila-

IngrOMing Nails.

Various remedies have been proposed, but
probably nothing equals the application Of
carbolic acid. Brush the acid lightly over
the infamed surface and allow it to penetrate
under the skin In twenty-four hours it will
be found that the nail is partly softened and
can be removed without pain, while the acid
has acted as complete anesthetic to the
tender, infamed tissue. Applied in the same
way to a sprain or a bruise, in which the
skin is unbroken, it affords instant relief

TIN PINE STRAW BAGGIEG PATENT SOLD
TO IHA STANDARD OIL LCoHPAEY.-Whsp the
Savannah Tunes announced last weak that
tho prominent firms in the recent baggiug
trust had cornsred tho entire supply of
Juto butts, it was stated, that the only hope
for the planters lay in the perfection of
pine straw bagging.
Even this frail hope'is new removed. From
New York comes the authoritative news
that the Standard Oil Company has purchas-
cd the patent rights of the manufacturers,
thus virtually removing it from the field as
. competitor with tho new ald even more
dangerous combination. Those competent
TO sIPfess'sn opinion held that this means
more s1trsyassnt prices next season, than
were demanded early in. this one, and that
the ills in the trust, realizing that it is
perhaps their last opportunity. will bleed
the consumers to the utmost limit.

Greensboro and Reidsvillc, were arrested
yesterday By two celorsd detectives frsm
