Whitworth Female College
THE GREAT SOUTH MISSISSIPPI
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.

Of the many educational institu-
tions of the country, none can justly
claim a higher place in the public
esteem than the celebrated Whit
worth College at Brookhaven. 1t
ranks fourth in size among the fe-
male Colleges of the Union, and in
the extent of it's curriculum, thor
oughness of training, moral iDflu-
ences, healthfulness of location, firm
and careful discipline, is surpassed
by none. 1t is a thoroughly pro-
gressive institution, which keeps
fully abreast with the times, and the
latest and most approved methods
are adopted in every department,
whether of science, music or art. In
short it is conducted upon the prin-
ciple of supplying everything neces-
sary for advanced female education
that experience can suggest.
The session of 1890-91 was sone of
the most successful and satisfactory
in the history of the college, and no
pains or expense will be spared Dy
the management to make the ses-
sion of 1891 go equal to or even sur
pass any former record. The best
teaching talent has been engaged
that money can procure. The Con-
servatory of Music and Art, the
finest in the South, will be kept fully
up to its present high Standard
Add to this the fact that the board
ing department is perfect in its ar
rangement and accommodations and
under the immediate supervision OF
the President and his family, and
there is nothing to be desired.
Before any of our readers decide
to send their daughters elsewhere,
we advise them to write for cata-
logue and acquaint themselves with
the superior advantages OF Whit
worth. See advertisement in another
column.

PERVERTED VISION.
A Ten-Year-Old Girl Who Reads
Printed Matter Upside Down

A Ten-Year-old Girl Who Reads
Only.
A very peculiar case of perverted
vision has been presented to DIR. f.. w.
Brickley, an oculist OF this city, writes
a York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press. A little girl of ten years,
the daughter of one of this city's
most respected citizens, was discov-
cred by her school teacher to be un-
able to read her reading exercise I'M
less the book was held upside down.
The teacher, Miss Busser, Immediate
" communicated the fact to.her par
ents, and they became very much
worried.
The oculist was called in and an ex-
animation made OF the child's eyes.
They were found to be entirely nor:
NAL. The only conclusion arrived at
was that the strange freak OF vision
was the result of a habit, Of trying to
read with, the book. pages in an un-
natural position, a habit contracted
some years ago when the child was
first sent to school, At this time the
child in writing numbers upon a slate
always made them upside down, and
as it was ley observed or. corrected
she gradually .,drifted into the habit
Of reading the same, way.
The only means of curepossible is to
teach the child everything. over again,
as though she never knew anything be-
FORE. This will be carefully'done. and
a cure Of CHS really phenomenal case
is anNiously looked for.i in the, near fu-
ture.. .>y

The Buiiy and the Butt.

The recent resignation OF his chair
in the Senate by Mr.. Reagan, ofTexas,
has served to recall the incident
which led him to leave Tennessee,
where he was born, and settle in the
Lone Star State. 1t appears that
one day he went to mill with a grist
to be ground, and after he had watt
ed in line until his turn came, ne was
rudely addressed by q man who pro-
posed to step in ahead OF hi m, and
threatened to throwhim out OF the win
dow unless he would yield his place.
Mr.. Reagan, the story goes, like all
the rest OF the people in the neighbor-
hood. was more or less terroriZed by
this desperate, and in fear OF his life
rushed for him, butted him in the
stomach with his head, and literally
lifted him Off his feet and flung him
through the window. When the des-
perado disappeared, the consequence
of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He instantly supposed that
he had killed q man, that he would
be hanged for it, and scared almost to
death, he rushed downstairs, uuhitch-
ed his horse and lit out across the
country for Texas. The man was not
killed, but got a good shaking up.
He soon moved to Texas, and was
friend to Reagan in after life.

An Extraordinary Capture,

1di o0S SoSSAs0
A thief contrived to gain admission
into a set OF chambers during the alb
sence of the lawful occupant, and at
once proceeded to lay hands on every
thing of value he could find. In the
midst of his operations it occurred to
him that his wardrobe was in urgent
need OF renewal, and he therefore took
ofhis clothes with a. view Of replacing
them by others he found in the room.
Scarcely, however, had he reduced
himself to the garb of primitive man
when he heard a step outside, and
promptly laid himself under the bed.
Someone entered the room, and the
thief lay perfectly still for several min
utes.
At length the newcomer departed,
and he ventured to leave his hiding
place. But much to his disgust, he
discovered that the visitor had been
a gentleman in his own way Of bust
ness, for not only was everything in
the chambers carried off, but even his
own suit of clothes disappeared. He
was therefore compelled to await the
return OF the owner of the property,
who handed him over to the police.

HOW TO TRAVEL COMFORTABLY.
Hints About Handling Clothing and
Toilet Articles in a Sleeper.

Toilet Articles In a Sleeper,
In taking a long journey it
is we'll to make oneself as COM
Portable as possible, especially at
night. When taking your place in
the sleeping-car berth, do not, for
fear of various emergencies, which
seldom arise, attempt to sleep in all
your clothes. Undress sufficiently to
be at perfect ease in any position you
may during sleep. This
freedom OF lungs and limbs will assure
you rest at least, even if you fail to
sleep. In wintertime always carry a
lighu wooden wrapper to avoid colds.
You should have a neat little case
or bag OF linen into which you slip
your purse, jewelry, hairpins, etc, and
put this under your pillow in the
corner nearest the window. In the
rack or net which hangs above you
place all small articles OF apparel.
You will then know, on awaking, just
where to put your hand on any thing
you wish to find.
If you wake and 20 early to the
dressing-room you may make a COM
plete and refreshing toilet before the
other folks are up. Have in your
satchel all appliances, such as soap
and toothbrush IN celluloid cases, a
sponge in it's bag OF oiled silk, brushes,
combs, whisk. etc, etc. Be sure to
provide your W towels.
The dress can be well brushed and
hung up till needed on a convenient
hook. Carry also a bottle oflavender
or Florida water and pour some Of
this into the bowl. 1t rests and re-
freshes one wonderfully.
After this careful toilet and a good
breakfast, served hot, you can stand
with but slight additional fatigue a
second days journey.
So much seems to be provided for
our comfort and enjoyment during the
day while travelling that it seems
necessary to have thought for the
night only, as the nights rest or I'M
rest will most always make or mar
the day before us.-Housekeeper's
Weakly

Not on The Maps.

It was a long while ago, but it is
worth telling still. A correspondent
in the South writes that ayoungl lady,
whose sweetheart was in the Confed-
crate Army, received from him a letter
that had been struggled through the
lines; for he had been taken aprisoner
am sent to Tennessee.
After reading the letter she went to
the house OF a neighbor and asked to
see a map. After a long search she
said she could not find fireplace where
Mr.. w was.
"Where is it, do you say, Mollie?"
asked her friend.
looking again at the letter:
Her friends and she still diligently
searched the map, but no such place
could be found. At last they persuad-
ed her to show them that part OF the
letter. It read thus:
81 am in durance vie, buthope soon
- be exchanged and to return home"

A BROOKLYN MOTHERS DEVICE.
She Has Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.

She Has Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.
A handsomely dressed woman and
a curly-headed boy of five summers
were among the passengers on a bridge
train this morning. They attracted
the attention Of all the other passen-
gers on account of a new and novel
arrangement, evidently the invention
of the mother, to prevent Jimmie
from getting lost in the crowd.
Around the boys chest and shoulders
was a neat-titting harness OF red
morocco leather, ornamented with
tiny brass bells. Two reins, also Of
red leather, were attached to the
harness at the shoulders. The mother
held the reins firmly in her left hand,
while with her right she held a book
in which she seemed deeply interested.
When the boy wanted to go out on
the platform or cross owe to the
window, there vas no sharp command
of "Come. back, Jimmie, don't go
there"
Jimmie would walk the length Of
the reins and then he stopped. The
mOCnef WOulQ nOC even look up from
her book, but her grip on the reins
never relaxed. As long as she held
them firmly there was no chance for
Jimmie to get lost in the crowd or fall
off the platform. The harness was
similar to that worn by pug dogs in
fashionable society, but two reins
were used for the boy instead Of one
for the dog. Jimmie is probably
more difficult to guide along acrowded
thoroughfare than q well-trained and
obedient pug.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. s.-Conductor
Shookley, Of the Central Georgia rail
road, had. q remarkable escape from
death, and he owes his life to the ticket
punch he carries in his vest pocket.
just as his train left Oakland, q little
station not far from Atlanta, q burly
negro jumped on board, rushed toward
the conductor. who was in the real
coach. pointed a pistol at him and fred.
He was only a few feet from Shookley,
and passengers who ran to the condnc-
tor expected, ot.course, to find him at
least badly hurt. They were no more
surprised than he when it was found
that he was entirely unframed. The
ball had fattened against the punch in
his vest pocket almost directly over his
heart. The negro made his escape. No
cause for his action can be imagined, as
the conductor says he never saw him
before.
