The Use of Perfumes.

Nothing is more slnued against to-
day than the use Of scents. To the
many people to whom any strong odor
is distressing, the present reign of scent
bags in the garments of women who
frequent public places and public con-
veyances is intolerable. 1t is only the
faintest suggestion of a refined perfume
that should ever be allowed to hang
even for moment about the belongings
of we'll bred girl; and even such a
casual use of the merest Whit of the
dainty and impalpable essences should
be rare; to wear any redolence upon
..er person in sachets is objectionable

FranklIn'S Wisdom.

The writer had the pleasure some
years ago of listening to the following
anecdote of Franklin as related by the
late Benjamin Russell, editor of the old
Columbian Centinel. Mr.. Russell said
that when he was an apprentice to the
printers trade with Robert b. Thomas
at Worcester, Franklin passed through
that town on his way to Boston and
called on Mr.. Thomas at his office.
Taking seat and calling the boys
around him he gave them some good
advice, and among other things told
them if they ever became editors of a
newspaper to have but one chair in their
office
The writer subsequently learned that
Mr.. Russell on becoming editor of the
Ceatinel acted upon this advice. 1t so
happened that two distinguished per-
sons called on him at one time-one
was Louis Philippe and the other the
Marquis de Talleyrand. Mr.. Russell
was somewhat embarrassed by the stu
alton but got over it by procuring a
couple of boxes from an adjoining room
and asking his guests to be seated

Powder-Puffs of To-day.

The world used to say that all Ameri-
can women powdered, just as they say
now that they smoke cigarettes.
In the old days there was bottle
stuck in some corner of her bedroom,
with more or less soiled, stiff rag
hanging on the cork, which was called
into service just before start was made
for shopping or calling tour.
1t was a sort of wipe and promise,
and the services of several good-na-
tured women friends were required
along the way to remove the extraneous
Jumps of dried powder which would
naturally be caught in prominent parts
of the face or sunk into pet dimples.
But to-day to make up face pro-
per is to master an art having elemen-
tary rules as exact as those of a science.
Perhaps woman's glass tells her ma
ture was not as lavish as it might have
been, OF the information may come
from equally frank friends, SAYS the
Philadelphia Times.
At any rate, she is either engaged in
a fair encounter with nature OF in a wfr
of fortification against times siege. The
old white powder has been superseded
by brunette powder, blonde powder
and natural complexion powder, all of
which are used by direction of the drug
gist, who tells the expectant fair one
exactly what powder will give fair
imitation of what has been or should
be.
The eyebrow pencil overcomes de-
ficiences in the eyebrows and only

The Household,
Hints to Housekeepers.

Sprinkle corn meal on the baking
pan instead of greasing it.
To cool earthenware or glass quickly,
place the article in cool salt water.
To whiten the finger nails, rub them
with freshly cut piece of lemon and
wash it eff in warm water the next
morning.
By adding gill of alcohol to a pint
Of boiling water, one can clean windows
even if coated with frost. Clean and
wipe dry quickly.
A good preparation to Gil cracks in
ceilings consists of whiting mixed to
the right consistency with glue water.
Calcined plaster and water answer the
same purpose.
1t is well to know that whiskey will
take out every kind of fruit stain
Tablecoths and napkins which have
become almost ruined by stains, may
be made as good as new by pouring
whiskey upon them before washing.
Here are a few hints in regard to
coloring soups: To obtain green
color, pound spinach leaves and add
the juice obtained to the stock. FOR
red color, use tomatoes without the
skins and seeds. For amber, CRATE
carrot and mix with the soup, and for
rich brown use burnt sugar or burnt
onions.
For cleaning tinware there is nothing
better than dry flour, applied with
newspaper. After being thoroughly
washed in very hot soapsuds and wiped
dry, tin vessels should be set on the
top of the stove for few moments and
then vigorously secured for few
minutes with the dry -four rubbed on
a wad eff newspapers crumpled and

So many Housewives hesitate about
adding cabbage to the dinner menu
because they dread the stong odor
which somehow always escapes from
the kitchen and permeates the entise
house. The following may be a welcome
suggestion: Lay over the top of the
pot containing the cabbage thickIy
folded towel this absorbs the steam
from the cabbage, thus Kidding the
house Of all unpleasant smell.
:. :. II will pay to make strong solution
of potash in boiling water and turn
through the sink pipes to cut away the
grease that accumulates there from the
dish water, then follow it up with
another solution Of copperas to destroy
any odors and disease germs that may
be there. Many kitchen would smell
better if this were done, and there
would be less chance for cholera or any
other filth disease A half pound to
the gallon is strong enough for either
solution.

Powers of the Secretary.

Much has recently been said about
getting authority from Con ress to en-
able the Secretary OF the Treasury to
issue bonds with which to buy gold to
strengthen reserves. This is of course
said by men who do not comprehend
the enormous privileges, already grant
ed by law to the Secretary. 1t can be
shown that the Secretary of the Treas
ury under certain circumstances can,
under authority of laws now in force,
exert greater influence over the bust
ness affairs Of the nation than can be
exerted by the President and all the
other members Of the Cabinet combined.
Secretary Foster in recent inter
view said: There is the right yes led
in the Secretary of the Treasury to sell

Interesting Exercises at the Court House

The Odd Fellows anniversary cele,
brated last night with appropriate exer

citizens of Durham. A number of visit

Rev. DR. J.. J. Hall, Ct the Raleigh Tab

and in an address which charmed and
entertained'hi his audience, reviewed briefly

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS
IMPROVED METHODS FOR THE MAN
UFAcTURE OF BRICK.
How Brick Are Made These Days at the
Yard of Miller & Duke in the New
Town of North urham

Town of North Durham.
Not many years ago the manufacturers
OF auger machines were quite well salts
fled with the results Of their labors IN
manufacturing and placing on the mar
ket a style of machine the principle OF
which at this day stands without a peer.
1t is now in general use, and we can say
that a far greater quantity, and for ali
practical purposes a much better quality
of brick are being made TO day with the
auger machines thar on any other style.
Up to about ten years ago we were plod
ding along c%ontentedly on temporary
wards, doing work with horse and mule
that is now done by steam. This process
has gained favor until a vast majority of
the brick now made are made by this
process. The excellence Of the stiff clay
brick is secured by the way it is forced
through the forming die and being cut
off at the end.
The advantages Of these brick are, first
They are smoother and more uniform in
size; the smoothness results from being
forced with great pressure through a
smooth, polished die; having but little
water they do not shrink much; their
smOOthness enables the mason to make a
smooth and perfect wall they are strong
in resisting crushing strains and much
stronger in resisting the tendency to
crack by the settling Of foundation of
heavy building.
Our company abandoned the idea some
time ago that good brick could not be
made from the ordinary run of clay, if
taken direct from the bank and run
through a machine without the assistance
of a good pug mill to improve the quality
of brick and tile. Our company has in
vented a pug mill which has given the
most flattering results. Although less
than three years since first introduced, it
has forced its way to popular favor
through merit alone.
If any reader Of this should want to
know more Of the workings of the Mich
igan brick and tile machine we would
be glad to show it at work at Miller 81

horse, which became alarmed. The girt
broke, and BOgart was thrown over the
horses head. He fell on the macadam
lied road on his head, crushed the back
of his skull, and for some moments it was
thought he was dead. But he was not
killed. He was removed to the CASTOR
House, where his condition is unchanged
and considered hopeless by the attending
physician. He has a large family and his
situation eXcites deep sympathy.
