GOVERNOR FowLE Of North Carolina. accom-
panied by several distinguished gentlemen
from the Old North state, called at the War de-
partment this morning in the hope of seeing
Secretary Proctor and making a personal oral
reinforcement of the protest against the trans
plantation of Geronimo and his Apaches from
Mount Vernon barracks to their new territory
i'll Haywood county, NC. But, t. their disap-
pointment, they were confronted at the door of
Mr. Proctors Office by a smiling messenger Of
the colored persuasion, who politely informed
them that the Secretary was out of town,
whereupon the governor of North Carolina
said to the--the governor gave the messenger
his card and left. The party then went over to
the Navy department, and after mistaking
Lieut.. Mason for Gen. Tracy they were shown
in to the Secretary, to whom they paid their
respects

Moisture In the House,

A pitcher filled with cold watsr and placed
In room in summer will "sweatn-at least,
that is what it is commonly called The
pitcher does not sweat, because It is not DO
rous and cannot sweat; but tho cold water
inside Of it chills the outer surface, and, as
soon as the outer surface Of the pitcher be-
comes cooler than the atmosphere In the
room, the moisture Of the air will be precipi.
tated upon the pitcher in drops.
This simple illustration should teach all
housewives to avoid suddenly opening rooms
i'll house when the outside atmosphere ia
warmer than the temperature Of the rooms
and full Of moisture. In all such cases the
wall paper, furniture, ETC., being cooler than
the outside air, will speedily have the moist
ure of the atmosphere precipitated upon
them, and it will require days to restore the
house to the dry condition that is essential to
health.
There are no arbitrary freaks in the laws
which govern the atmosphere surrounding
US, and there is nothing obtrusive in MASTER
ing them. Warm damp air will ever pre-
ciptate its moisture in houses and elsewhere
whenever it comes in contact with ANYTHING
chilled 10y "A cooler atmosphere, and that is
the whole story. The only thing to be added
is that, when people have thus ignoranCly or
neglgently allowed their houses to become
damp, they should light fires and dry them
as promptly as possible. philadelphia Times

WOnAn'N Hair.

How many black haired women do you
knowi If you take the trouble TO count, you
will find that, out of ten women you meet,
nine will have blonde hair of some shade, and
the tenth will possess dark brown rather than
black. The tendency Of the times seems to
be toward light haired women, and by the
by, do not mean the ones whose hair is
made light by the use Of peroxide of hydro
gen. Scientists tell us that as nation grows
more civilized its women grow more perfect
ly blonde, and students in the mysteries of
love say that blonde women are the most
atfectionate wives and the least faithful.
This is the sort Of thing that no man can find
out by personal experience, but it's rather in
teresting to know.
Curious contrasts are occasionally noted in
families, and none are more emphasized than
that between Mary Eastlnke and her sister
Miss Eastlake has halo of the most exquisite
haiI-blonde, without hint Of yellow, just
such pure perfect blonde as you occasionally
see on babies, and which it Is rare to find on
older heads With this is the whitest of skins
and great soft blue eyes that look at you as if
they were pleading for somebody all the time
The younger sister has glossy hair so dark 1t
might be called black, and great brown eyes
that look out Mt you as If questioning in pref
ty way what the New World held. The much
admired combination OF black hair and blue
eyes is seldom seen nowadays, except among
the Irish beauties. The woman with very red
hair, pale eyes and light brows and lashes, is
the nearest approach that woman can make

This is the kind of individual who ought to
sit at the feet of gentle Lucy Stone and listen
to some Of her "reminiscences of the last half
century When Mary Lyon came to the little
Massachusetts town where Mrs Stone was
brought up, she found all the women and
girls making shirts for the Young Mems Edu-
cational society. The boys must go to school,
but who thought of the girlsi The boys could
earn dollar day, the girls dollar week,
when they taught school, and Mrs Stone
dropped her thimblc, reasoning very Justly
that the boys could look out for themselves
When Harriet Hosmer wanted instruction in
anatomy to help her in sculpture, she went
from medical college to medical college
throughout the east, and wandered as far as
st. Louis before any school agreed to take
her in.

applied to the first woman who practiced

took as his text; "This Jezebel is coming
among u.s." and when Lucy Stone was to
speak for anti-slavery in Maiden, Mass, the
clergyman who announced the address did it
after this wise: 81 have been requested by
Mr.. Morey to say that at the Town hall, at

like a cock. All who would like to hear that

is doubtful If the younger women ever can
appreciate through what martyrdom the
right to free speech and free action has been
bought for them, but one comes nearest to
such understanding when listening to one like

quarter OF pound OF citron, one teaspoonful
Of cinnamon, one OF mace, a small pinch Of

During the Franco-German war the ladies
in England were busy making paper cushions
which they sent to France to be used for the
wounded in the hospitals Hundreds Of
thousands of these cushions were sent and
were of great service. Now all England is
crazy on the subject of paper pillows again.
They tear the paper into very small pieces
not bigger than ones finger nail end then
put them into a pillow sack Of drilling or
light ticking. They are very cool for hot
climates, and much superior to feather pill
lows.
The newspapers are printing appeals for
them in hospitals. Newspaper is not nice to
use, as there is a disagreeablo odor from
printers ink; but brown or white paper and
old letters and envelopes are the best. As
they are torn stuff them into an old pillow
case, and you can see when you have enough.
The easiest way is to tear or cut the paper in
strips about half an inch wide, and then tear
or cut it across. The finer it is, the lighter it
makes the pillows.-New York Mail and Ex-

In Queen Annes time the dress Of the fine
lady was elaborate. When she exchanged her
mob, morning gown and handkerchief for
full dress and the park, she appeared in a
laced bodice worn open in front over tight
stays, surmounted, after Addison's remon-
strances, by the tucker of modesty. Her
sleeves We're shortened SO as to show the lace
hangings, which fell to the wrist. Her apron
covered but tiny portion of the rich bro
caded petticoat, which was distended upon
the German hoop-a huge rotunda, such as
that which was brought into the spectators
court of judicature. As the bodice descended
the petticoats rose and revealed the bright
stockings Of thread or silk which terminated
in beautifully worked shoes of embroidered
satin or morocco leather. In nothing were
the fashions more changeable than in the
height of the headdress. Addison remem-
bered it rise and fall above thirty degrees 4"

A Woman Who Was Cool.

We arc reminded ot an incident that came
to our knowledge some years ago which
should show women that presence of mind
and the power of selt-control have d saving

this case one instants wavoriug or weakness,

A lady Of wealth aud with the rich sur
roundings and costly works oi art that wealth
brings was one evening alone, with only one
servant IN the house. Being in her chamber
as she laid aside articles of jewery and
placed them in their appropriate places in l4er
bureau, she CHANGED to raise her eve, 10 a
mirror opposite, and from light in the
other corner Of the room she caught in the
mirror the reflection Of the figure OF a man

Now, who could blame her if she had

the doorf Had she done so it would have
sealed her fate. But, forcing herself TO be
calm, she finished what she was doing at the
bureau, then quietly stepping TO the bell,

The fact he's been pointed out that In the

German chemists have discovered in the

English electrical experts say that all the
main trunk and teleSraphing wires in Eng

the nation can well afford to expend it.
Late experiments would seem to refute the
theory that France is warmed by the gulf

reach that country from the southwest, but
there are currents from west and northwest
German insulating material for electric

A very simple method Of inducing sleep in
cases of persistent insomnia, and one that has
succeeded where many drugs have failed, is
simply TO administer a moderate amount of
warm liquid food before the patient goes to
bed. This diverts the blood from the brain
to the abdominal organs, and takes away the
earebral excitement that precludes sleep.

A Female Athlete.

That was lady to beware Of that James
Payne tells of in The London Illustrated
News: Miss PhGbe Boun, of Matlock, never
made an exhibition of herself in any way,
but William Hutton, in one OF his tours,
speaks of her with wonder as well rs praise
Her step, at 30, was very manly, and could
cover forty miles day. She could lift a
hundred weight with each hand, aud, with
the wind in her face, send her voice mile.
She could knit, cook and spin, but hated
them all with every accompaniment to the
female character except modesty.' If any
gentleman made mistake as TO this latter
attribute, she knocked him down She could
hold the pillow, drive the team and thetch
the rick, but her chief avocation was break
ing in horses, without saddle at a guinea a
week. She was an excellent shot and a great
reader; fond Of Shakespeare and doubtless,
also, of the musical glasses, since she played
the bass viol in Matlock church,
