Guarding Against Pneumonia,

The mere suggestion that q friend is
suffering from an incipient attack of pneu.
monia is enough to fill one with deepest
alarm. The rapidity of its development
and its fatal character make this disease
to be dreaded and avoided but. alas ! in
this section of our country not even the
most careful precautionary measures are
always sufficient to guard against it's
insidious advances. It is the result of
exposure to cold where the system be-.
comes chilled, principally as a result of
physical inaction. A military review, a
reverent attendance at the burial of a
friend, even few moments of waiting
for a public conveyance-these, and
causes like these, induce the deadly at
tack. While it is true that people with
weak lungs are more susceptible to
troubles of this kind, it would seem that
when once the disease is fastened, the
more robust the system the greater the
danger of a fatal result. Pneumonia may
be guarded against to a considerable
degree by suitable dress, proper ventila-
ton of homes and Offices, and general
observance of hygienic laws. 1tis when
the system has become disorganized or
weakened in any manner that diseases
like pneumonia take advantage of the
situation, so to speak, and do their terri
BILE work, simply because the general
tone of the system is such that it cannot
successfully repel the new invader.
The attack is always sudden, and is
announced by chill, cough or conyul-
sion; more frequently in the night time,
as the symptoms show themselves, usu-
ally, several hours after the exposure
which induces them. The respiration
and the action of the heart are increased,
the skin grows dry and feyerish, and
there is sense of oppression about the
chest as though it were compressed by
tight clothing or weight resting upon
the body. Prompt measures should at
once be taken, unless the physician can
be Immediately summoned. A mild
cathartic should be employed, the diet
should be light, the fever should be
checked by some antifebrine drug, which
may be obtained at the nearest drug store,
and solution of acetate of ammonia is
recommended for this purpose; it is
harmless, and any intelligent druggists
clerk will give proper directions for ita
use. If there is a sense of pain in the
chest, counter-irritant should be sp.
piled, in the form Of a mustard or turpen-
tine plaster, and the patient should be
allowed to sleep. and even assisted to. do
so by light dose of bromide of POTASH
um, if the disease induces abnormal
wakefulness.-Good Housekeeping.

a NUT-GATHERING PARTY.

One bright day in autumn a small
party of boys and girls went over to the
mountains to gather nuts. The party
consisted of nine, viz: George, Julia and
Mary Nelson, Beula, John and James
Mayfeld, and Caroline, Jane and Will
liam Majors. Two of the families fur.
nished an horse apiece and the other 8
wagon.
Such jolly little party it was that
started off from the farm laughing and
talking of the fue romp that they were
to have that day. George drove, and
Julia, who was very anxious toget there,
kept the horses in a trot until sober

eral miles to the mountains.
The girls had their dolls, and basket
we'll filled with good things. The boys
had their dogs and guns so that if a
squirrel should chance to be gathering in
his stock of winter food, they might get
shot, and jolly little band you may
we'll know it was.
When they reached the mountains,
where the largest nut trees grow, they
hitched the horses in the valley under q
large tree and undertook the hard task of
climbing the mountain; but they were
young and supple, and 80 full of fun,
that they did not consider it anything
more than play. At last they reached
the top of the mountain and began to
gather nuts. It was right tedious work,
for the leaves had fallen and covered q
good many of them. But they would not
be outdone, and continued to hunt among
the leaves until they had gathered half
bushel. By this time they we're tired
and hungry, and they started down the
mountain. When they reached the val
ley they found large, fat rock under
the shade of an elm tree, which Mary
| declared nature had prepared for thell
special benefit.
While the girls spread out the dinner
George and William went to a spring
which was near by, for a pitcher of wa
ter. When all things were ready they
gathered around the dinner, and ate al
only hungry boys and girls can.
After they had finished their dinner ane
put away the dishes in the baskets, they
all agreed that they we're 80 tired tha
they would have to rest a while, SO the
boys brought the chairs from the wagon
and Mary, who was the most thoughtful
one in the bunch, brought some inter
esting stories and entertained them until
they were rested. But George was boy
who never tired, and, as he did not enjoy
reading, he Was out hunting suitable

he was up to, so when he came back
with a rod apd hook for each one, they
were agreeably surprised. So they all
followed George and were soon throwing
out some fine fish, which they intended
for breakfast next morning. After they
had 6shed awhile George reminded them
that it was time for them to 60 home.

notice the beautiful scenery SIS they re.
turned, and Caroline said it was worth
the ride to see the beautiful streamlets
flowing through the valleys. By the
time they reached the home of Capt.
Majors they were all so tired that Mrs.
Majors insisted upon all staying with her.
They all said that it had been one Of
the most pleasant days of their lives, and
wished that holidays would come oftener.

Preservation of the Hair.

The FIRST and most important condition
of preserving the health and attractive
ness of the hair, is that it should be kept
scrupulously clean, yet in many cases
this is not by any means an easy task.
There is nothing for which dust has a
greater affinity than thick head of hair,
especially when slightly damp or oily.
The flying particles lodge indiscrimi-
nately among the most attractive tresses
or the unkept shock of the careless
laborer, and once lodged they cling with
greatest persistence. Especially when
travelling, the exposure to dust necessi.
tates constant care in keeping the head
and scalp clean. The face would tell its
own story after week or so of exposure,
but the scalp is covered and the hair is a
partner in untidiness. Usually, hair
which is brushed for few minutes night
aud morning will require comparatively
little extra care to preserve it in beauty
and cleanliness. The brush is very
much more efficient than the comb, but
of course the time comes when neither
will meet the requirements; and at rea-
sonable intervals, depending on circum-
stances, a careful washing of the hair
and scalp is necessary. This will be
greatly assisted if little ammonia or
borax is added to the water, which should
be merely warm, neither hot nor cold.
Another very excellent application in
this connection is an egg thoroughly
beaten and well rubbed into the roots of
the hair, which of course must be imme.
diately and carefully rinsed, else the last
condition will be worse than the first. 1t
is a mistake to suppose that any hair
dressing pomsde, or other application of
that sort, will cleanse the scalp. They
merely add another element of vexation,
attracting and holding the dust and dirt,
which day brush would very generally
remove.
Promiscuous washing and frequent
wetting of the hair is very detrimental,
especially sea bathing, unless the salt
water should be carefully washed out Of
the hair with fresh, soft water, and the
hair carefully dried. Keeping the hair
damp has an especially injurious effect,
not only rendering it brittle and rough,
but causing disagreeable odor, which
is annoying to every one, and which can
be easily prevented. When the head is
to be washed, warm soft water, with cas-
tile aoap, should be used. The hair
should be Immediately dried. An occa-
sional shampoon, with vigorous rub
bing of the scalp with the finger ends,
not only removes dirt and dandruff, but
assists the circulation and promotes 8
healthy condition. As soon as the hair
has been dried, it should be carefully in.
spected. The broken ends should be
clipped to promote the growth, aud this
can generally be as well attended to at
home as at the hands of q professional
hair. dresser Good Housekeeping.

We have visited the schools hereinafter
mentioned, since last report of visits.
In Eureka school Miss Zella Campbell
is engaged earnestly and patiently in
teaching. She has a very interesting
school, and it has very interested
tesc66r.
MIR. M. N. Mitchell is the teacher at
Whitefeld school. Those who know Mr..
Mitchell do not question his ability to
| teach. His patrons should encourage
him and the children in their efforts 10
develop the mind.
Miss Addie Duckworth has school
about four miles northwest from Viii.
liamston. Her pupils love her and are
making good progress under her training.
Miss Addie is also very popular with her
patrons. They seem to know they have
good teac: ,er, and they have She is
very earnest in her work.
White Plains School is taught by Mr.
j. B. Harris, who is certainly good
teacher. He has large school and is
doing big work.
Miss Lillian Bigby presides at We'll
come school, in Williamson Township.
She has the reputation of being one of
the best disciplinarians in the County.
She is beyond doubt worthy of her call
ing.
Miss Leila Russell's school, at Midway,
continues full. She is very much liked
by her pupils and patrons, and justly SO,
too.
Miss May Russell is doing work at
Mountain Creek that both she and her
patrons should feel proud of. Miss May
is real teacher. The school house is
very good, but too small. There are sew
eral changes that could be made in it to
advantage.
The school at Ruhamah is doing a
work that gives entire satisfaction, SO far
as we could hear and see. Mr.. Brown,
the teacher, has some as interesting
classes as ne have seen. While he is
young in the cause, he is doing good
work.
Miss Lena johnson presides at Ivy
Hollow. In this school we spent most
delightful forenoon. Miss johnson is
among our best teachers, judging from
what ne observed while in her school.
Miss Mamie Warren, the teacher at
Poplar Spring, in Corner Township, has
a school that affords fine opportunity
for work, and she is doing it. Miss War.
rem holds warm place in the affections
of her pupils.
Prof. McElroy's school is too we'll and
favorably known to need any words from
our pen. His work is thorough and
practical. We have in our Office some
specimens of map drawing by his pupils
that ne would like every teacher in the
County to see. They beat anything we
have ever seen from pupils.
Miss Vonie Yeargin's school, while
laboriug under some disadvantages, is
doing very satisfactory work. Her
patrons are pleased with her and her
work. -
Miss Minnie Bell, at Twiggs, presides
with ability. She knows how to teach,
and is enthusiastically engaged in the
work. She has school that is proud of
their teacher.
