Ada Chester Bond in the June Ladies' Home
journal.
Do not make too many visits, and
where you go be sure that your visit
is a convent one. Do not entertain
too generously; summer should be a
time of rest, and it is difficult to rest,
with house full of guests.
Before going for a midday sail rub
your face, peck and hands with sim
pie cream, and powder gently with
cornstarch. Wipe the powder off,
and on returning wash the complexion
well in warm water and with CASTLE
soap. Camphor ice and buttermilk
both give relief from sunburn.
Place a large dish of water in a room
where the heat is very oppressive.
once or twice and the temperature
will be perceptibly lowered.
Sponge your babies with cold water
at bed time.
Give your children water to drink
during the hot weather. They need
this to make up for the loss from
prespiratioIl.
In washing summer frocks, if the
colors run put half a cupful of salt in
the last rinsing-water.
For insomnia in summer time take
a cold bath at bedtime.
Press towels, folded as usual,
through your clothes-wringer and
save your laundress.
Have mercy on your cook in your
arrangement OF meals for hot days.
Battle daily.
Have your house-gowns made with
open necks and elbow sleeves.
Save your steps.
Allow double the amount of time
in catching boats and trains that
you do in winter.
Eat your meals slowly.
Drink milk slowly.
To wash summer silks remove all
grease or other spots with soap and
water before proceeding. Make a
solution of a teaspoonful of am
monia and little soap in pail of
water, and in this dip the silk again
and again until the dirt is removed.
Do not wiring out, but press between
the hands. Rinse in water from
which the chill is gone, and hang in a
shady place until partly dry, when
lay between two cloths, and press
with hot iron.

A Problem Solved.

Rev. DIR. Saunders, President Of
University (colored) at Charlotte
got off the following in an address in
Washington:
ga certain colored minister in the
south, who had probably not taken
very much time in the preparation
of his sermon, was telling his congre-
CATION on one occasion that after
considerable care he had settled the
problem of how the children of Israel
had crossed over the Red Sea. They
went over on the ice.
But" piDed up one of his young
hearers, II have been studying
geography, and that says that the
Red Sea is near the equator, and it's
too warm to have ice there.
my child, all this what I'm tellin'
you bout happent long before there
was any such thing as IA g'or-
graphy or 'nequator.

ErHE n. G. Antiquity soUrETx.
To Foster State Pride and Historical
Interest.

From the News and Observer.
We are glad to observe that there
has been formed a North Carolina
Antiquity Society for the purpose OF
collecting and preserving articles of
historical interest. There has of late
been a general awaking of the histor-
icaf spirit among our people, and
while formerly those who manifested
an interest in such matters were re-
garded as ''little off, it is coming
to be the fashion. Without investi
eating the causes that led to the old
condition that is passing away, we
are extremely pleased to note that
they have given place to a growing
state pride, broader intelligence, a
more positive assertion of correct
principles and a higher and better
public sentiment. A people who do
not turn to the past with pleasure
when-the past is SO honorable as we
can boast, are lacking in sensibility,
and we are rejoiced to see the spirit
which is now being manifested gener-
ally among North Carolinians.
The society just formed will be an
aid in developing a proper sentiment
on this line, and their collection Of
relics will foster State pride and his
torical interest our people. 1t is thus
to be especially commended, and we
trust that it will receive hearty CO.
opera ton throughout the State.
Much has been lost. Let us gath
or together what remains and pre-
serve our relics for the benefit of pos
teritY.

WANTS TO WE'D ANINDIAS.
Pretty school Marin Falls In Lo,

| A Pretty school Marin Falls In Love
with n Brave.
Special to the Charlotte Observer
AsHEvILLE, May 25.-For some
time past one teacher in the Indian
training school at Yellow Hill has
been Miss Minnie E. Dickson, of
jamestown, n. Y. Soon after going
to the school Miss Dickson became
acquainted with Richard II. Smith,
son of Chief Nimrod Smith, of the
Cherokee tribe, about 81 years old
and in appearance very progresses
ing. Miss Dickson is nearly ofSmith's
age and is the daughter of a Baptist
clergyman in jamestown. Despite
barriers between these young people,
a mutual attachment sprang up and
within two months of the first meet
ing, Mr. Smith and Miss Dickson
were engaged. Not long ago Prof
Andrew Spencer, government super
intendent of Indian schools, and also
Indian agent, decided to dispense
with Miss Dickeon's services in the
school. He so informed her and
notified the department, the step
being taken, it is understood, because
Miss Dickson was not thought suit
able for work among the Indians
The suspension of Miss Dickson of
course did not please Smith, and he
began to investigate. A number of
friends of the engaged couple also
took an interest in the case and the
affair was reported at Washington.
The government at once sent a
special agent to look into the facts
of Miss Dickson's suspension. This
agent, Mr.. Cooper, spent some time
Investigating, and then went back to
Washington, where he will make a
report. The fact that Miss Dickson
had become engaged to Smith,
whose name in the Indian tongue is
''Chalapkee," was communicated to
her parents. and they earnestly
oppose the match. However, their
daughter is of age and can do as she
pleases. One obstacle in the path of
the lovers, however, is a-law ofNorth
Carolina which does not allow inter-
marriage of the races.

Early Tobacco Sales.
From the southern Toba ,conist,

From the Southern TOba ,cOnlSt,
Experience, as a criterion, has
taught the tobacco planter of late
years that the early sales have paid
them best. The early sales catch
the trade prepared to buy; old stock
is out of the way and many new
firms are starting in business, and
every market and warehouse exerts
itself afresh to give the planter a
good send off, to retain his custom.
Time and money is saved by getting
through with the crop; risks of fire
and fading of the leaf is also lessened,
while there is gain in the sap left in
the leaf, and often the color is better,
if not kept too long. 1t takes con-
siderably larger advance in price in
August to equal a good winter
months sale loss in weight and
other expenses and risks considered,
which the planter, by early sales,
throws on the buyer, and the latter,
in the case of stemming tobacco. pre-
fers winter order buying. There is
less loss to him in strips. The early
sales of Tugs and low grades this
season were far ahead of the later
prices; the planter that sold earliest
sold best. Realizing this potent and
patent fact, we find the crop market
ed earlier every year, and the seasons
commence earlier, because tobacco is
cultivated further South, and East
also, growing on quick, light, sunny
lands, and is cured early before dews
and frosts set in. Buyers need not
fear the early delivery; it is sooner
over, and should not excite alarm
under the changed conditions of
delivery.
