TRUTH IN UNIQUE DRESS.

GLOVES are not good conductors of
Christian magnetism.
The poorest man on earth is the one
who has the fewest trials.
SIN will sink millionaire as deep in
hell as it will a man who isn't worth a
dollar.
IT is hard for people to enjoy religion
very much who keep both hands in their
pockets
The poorest man is not the one who
has the least, but the one who has the
most wants.
THERE is nothing for which man has
to pay so dear as he does for the privi-
lego of being stingy.
THE man needs better kind of reli-
gion who buys his tobacco, but sponges
his religious reading matter.
To TALK about charity beginning at
home is only another way of letting peo-
pie know that we are stingy.
WORRYING about things you can't
help is as foolish as to throw stones at
the sun when its shining doesn't suit
you.
THERE is no road that has so many
fngerboads on it pointing the otherway
as the road that leads to perditior.-
Rams Horn.

VALUABLE HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

BUTTER for cooking should always be
clarified.
BREAD that is to be kept for week
should be kneaded longer than that to
be eaten soon.
New tins should be set over the fire,
filled with water, for some hours before
using them.
IN selecting salt mackerel, examine
them carefully. If rusty in appearance
reject them.
SOAP lasts much longer if bought by
the quantity, cut in squares and kept in
dry place to harden.
MUSTARD forinstant uses should be
mixed with mfll1-to which little thin
cream should be added.
THE marrow in bones should be
scraped out and used for cooking. 1t is
more delicate for this purpose than suet.
IN trying out" or clarifying butter it
is done when the froth begins to rise.
Skim, strain, store in a cool place and
keep well covered.

west Point peatn rTasI.s.

In q Rl2sG-faced. black box hung in
the officers mess at West Point are two
death masks whose duplicates are not
known to exist in this country. One is
OF Napoleon and the other of Frederick
the Great. Commander Chadwick of the
navy secured them in London some
years ago and presented them to the
mess. To say that they are highly
priced is putting it very mildly. There
is ample proof of their authenticity, so
their startling lack of resemblance to
the popular portraits of the dead lead
ers is all the more interesting. Napo-
Icons cast is by far the better; the fea-
lures are natural and seem to - in a
calm repose, while the face is thin al
most to cmaciation. It's a fine face,
but not the face of the Napoleon we
have been taught TO know. Old Indian
fighters say it is the exact counterpart
Of the face of Black Hawk. Frcdericls
face is weazen and drawn and fearfully

WOMEN AND SMOKING.

1T Has Been Decided That Woman Has
No Right to Smoke in London.
After long trial it has been decided
that woman does not enjoy similar
rights with man as far as smoking is
concerned in London, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. At o prominent restaurant there
the wife of q well-known business man
took q cigarette from her husbands
case and lighted it after dinner. The
waiter protested, but the husband said
that if man had right to smoke in
the place women should enjoy the same
privilege. From this beginning there
arose a violent quarrel, the whole ques-
ton was carried to the courts, and for
several months comment has been rife
concerning it. The decision of two
judges that smoking on the part
women IN pubic is lndecorous has me-
with the strongest sort of opposition,
but their decision is final. and cigarette
smoking from this time forth in public,
as far as respectable restaurants are
concerned, will be confined to men.
Women wrote to newspapers, signed
petitions and protested publicly against
this discrimination. The subject is of
interest to us because it illustrates the
extent to which smoking is carried in
London among women. If woman
to light cigarette in a pub
lie restaurant of the first class in New
York she would be elected at once, and
there would be no question of a
trial afterward. Perhaps American
are not so fast and forward as
their English critics would have us
believe. They seem to be pretty well adj
yanced over there themselves.

unusual interest and that should appeal
with great force to many people, as
well without as within the state of vir-

awaiting the resurrection, lies the
body of that apostle of the revival
of the church in Virginia, Rev Ed

wife, a descendant of Bette Washing

well known in Virginia's glorious past;
such as Maury and Marshall, Rose and
Strother, and Chew, and Cooke, and
Taliaferro, and Knox, and Johnston,

another, around which the best tradi-

to decay beneath the never resting hand
of time, and ere many more years of
neglect shall pass, much that is val:aa-
bic and beautiful and helpful in the 81

A band of noble and unselfsh women
have determined that ii love and labor
can save this sacred spot and preserve
its tender memories of a revered past, it
shall be done. Love they can and will
give gladly and willingly and labor
they give as but part and proof of
their love; but they need financial as
sistance, more than it is possible to give
themselves. And for this cause they
appeal to all who love Virginia's past
and revere and admire her mighty

them in their labor of love and loyalty

TREATMENT OF COMMON ILLS.

If troubled with headache, try the,
simultaneous application of hot water
to the feet and back of the neck.
A TEA made by pouring boiling water
over sweet fagroot will relieve worm,
sickness in children and is also good fog
collie 4.
ASTHMA may be greatly relieved by
soaking blotting or tissue. paper in,
strong saltpeter water; dry it, then burn
it at night in the sleeping-room.
For cut, take powdered resin, pound
it very fine and spread or sift it over the
cut; wrap piece of soft linen around it,
and wet it in cold water quite often.
This will prevent inflammation and
soreness.
