washing BLACK Hosiery.

Just now, when fast black hosiery
is up on the very crest of a tidal wave
of popularity, the following from the
British WarehouSemdn, will be of in
terest:-"Great Improvements have
been made in the dyeing of black
stockings by the use of the new i'm
perial fast dye, for which it is claimed
that the color will improve rather
than not by washing, and diapers
would do well to give a hint to their
customers how dyed cotton stockings
ought to be treated. No washing
powders or washing liquids of any
sort should be made use of, and they
should be washed in soft water, soft
lather first, and instead of wringing
them out hard, which is the common
process, and by which. at all events,
certain portions of the dye must be
expected to be removed, they should
be rolled in a dry cloth and have the
moisture well pressed out, and then
dried quickly afterward. Nothing
could be more melancholy looking
than the rusty, white black stockings
OF years gone by, after they had been
a short time in use, and the blue
black color of the new dyes gives
them an excellent appearance.

robes only. Mary of England was the
last French Queen who wore white
mourning. She was known as La
Refine Blanche-perhaps by old people,
to distinguish her from Catherine
de Medici, who was the first regal
widow to dress in black. She borrow
ed her sable weeds from Italy, which,
far back in antiquity, took black
mourning from the Eleusinian mys-
teries. Ceres in search OF Proserpine,
was in black to signify the winter
season, when nature is most colorless.
Catharine de Medici's widows cap
was black. The white widows cap is
now the only survival of the ancient
white mourning. Mary Stuart fol-
lowed her mother-in-law in wearing
black after the death Of her first hus-
band. White is more suitable for the
winter wear of a delicate child, in the
harsh Dutch climate, than black.

Of her motherhood that Mrs
Halloran's denial that she is given
to the liquor habit and that the bot
tie that killed her boy was intended
for her use, may prove to be true
At any rate, in whatever aspect 1t
NAV be viewed. the ease is one de-
manding the most rigid investigation
by the authorities.
1T cannot have escaped the notice
of the habitual readers of the local
newspapers that County Physician
Converse has been unusually liberal
in rewarding Coroners with inquests
since the Grand Jury saw fit to make
a d~eliverance on the subject. 1t is to
be hoped that the agitation OF the
Coroners has not frightened the
worthy County Physician out oil
the straight and narrow path" he
has followed in this matter for SO
many years. DR.. Converse wants to
keep a stiff upper lip in this contest
against the Coroners and show them
no quarter at all.
Right and deccncy are sure to come
out ahead in the end, and DR.. Con-
verses policy heretofore has been in
the interest of both.
This is no time to change it.
THERE were some pretty stiff sem
fences pronounced in the Sessions
yesterday; but they were well de-
served. The ten years imposed upon
the young Greenville thief will stand
as a terror to all young men debating
which road they will take at the fork
they are sure to reach in early man
hood. The victim of the sentence was
a young man, but not too young to
be held responsible for his acts. His
bent is a thoroughly bad one, and he
deserved oil the Court gave him.
The seven years sentence imposed
upon Edwards, the railroad brake
man who robbed a passenger in the
Pennsylvania depot, was an equally
merited one. Brakemen have great
opportunities for the indulgence OF
dishonest propensities, and the pub
lie safety demands that every tend
ency in that direction shall be sternly
repressed by being sternly punished.

acts and loving foresight, which go
to make up daily comfort and happi-
ness. Naturally as the mother IS the
home maker il is on her that the 9TH

Many a mother whose heart is
wrung by the waywardness of her
children could find the answer TO the

That Pine Tree.

1t seems that the one who locked
up the school house to keep out the
dance has got his revenge. He has
gone for the old pine tree. We hope
he feels better. However he got one
prong too many. For the benefit of
the many inquiring friends, we will
describe the tree in detail. 1t was
about three feet through upon the
stump. Twelve feet above the ground
it separated into three handsome
prongs growing quite straight up.
From the bodies of these three prongs
were cut the nineteen regular mill
logs. The stump log was perfectly
entire. Our assertion ''that nineteen
mill-logs were cut from the same tree
was perfectly truthful and legitimate.
Of course every full-witted person
knows that they could not have been
cut from continuous stock.
