foot OF the stairs a long narrow one. Place
another long rug before the fireplace. 9
the fireplace is for wood, have brass or

must have one, get one with broad seat
and long mirror; in the seat may be kept
rubbers and various small things.
II there is closet, place q long, broad
mirror over the mantel and do not use
hall stand. Have table near the hall
door, on which can be placed hats, etc. IF
your vestibule is large enough, a hall stand
may be plnced there. In one part of the

couch, with plenty of pillows. Near this
set a low, strong table, or, which keep q

Chivalry In the Home,

Much of the unhappiness which some
times attends married life owes its origin
to - lack of the amenities and courtesies
which were SO assiduously practiced by
both parties before marriage The feeling
that 1t is not worth while to keep then,
up is answerable for much of the loss OF
respect, want of chivalry and indifference
which gradually lead to the decay of af-
feetion. IN the same way brothers and ais
ters rub .,tf the bloom of fraternal regard
by the aasence of those gentle and respect
ful manners with which they greet all out
side friends. Insonsibly they become care
less, Indifferent and rude, and black looks.
hard words and sharp answers poison the
home which might have been the haven OF
pence and happiness, had not the respect
for one another's personality been broken
down,--New York Ledger.

WOMAN AND HER HOME.
An Interesting Fad That Is Prac-
ticed by the Princess Of
Wales.
She Never Throws or Gives Away
Hat She Has Once
Worn.
Thirty Years OF Isonaots stored Away In
Her CIossts-Tho Plan offs
Nusy Mother.

Among the many interesting collections
made by royal and famous women, a fancy
Of the Princess of Wales has hitherto es-
capped the general notice. Her royal high
ness never suffers IL hat or bonnet she has
worn to be thrown or given away As 1t is
discarded each is put carefully away with
large collection Of fellow sufferers, labeled
with the season OF the year In which 1t was
worn. This custom the princess has rlgor-
ously adhered to ever since she first q S.le
to England 30 years ago, 30 that theasny
OF various forms Of headgear has now as
sumed formidable proportions.
II tho princess could be induced to exhib-
1t her collection it would be extremely il
teresting to all who follow the vagaries OF
fashion, for as rule the whims OF the
tickle goddess are more pronounced in our
headgear than in any other part of our Mt
tire, or an article might be written by ono
OF her literary sisters ill-law on the subject
which would be quite absorbing to lovers
OF dress and which might give fashion
makers, who seem just now at their Wits
end for something to invent or revive
many hint for future guidance. The
only drawback to the collection from the
point Of view Of a history Of hats in the
last 30 years Of tho nineteenth century lies
In the fact that the Princess Of Wales has
always shown tendency to be uninfll-
enced by fashion, especially when it was
ut all o,ltre, though doubtless this ten
dency has largely increased of late years,
ior early photographs show us that she
succu1n bed to the crinoline and fell q vic
tim to the pork pie hat, than which it
would be difficult to find anything more
hideous.
For several years past the princess has
discarded any suggestions Of hat. / sup
pose she thinks it would be out of place
on the head Of a grandmother, and her
bonnets, like her style of dressing tho hair,
have practically remained almost unaltcr-
ed in shape, though the trimming is ar
ranged SO as to be slightly in accordance
with the prevailing fashion. I can not
think how she manages to do it and yet
never look otherwise than smart Most of
US would look distinctly dowdy under the
same circumstances It is not because she

Are American Children spoiledq

A Boston paper has been getting togeth-
or several opinions for persons supposedly
informed in the matter upon the question
"Is the American child spoiled?' They
are specially interesting because every con-
tributor to the symposium, in one way or
another, attests his idea that the children
of today are having too much done for
them.
Very many persons share and often ex-
press similar opinion. Said an old man,
speaking on this matter very lately: "Chil-
dren are taking the journey Of life these
days just as they are taking their railway
journeys--in Pullman cars. Every lux
ury Of education is provided for them, ev-
cry pill of knowledge is sugar coated, every
dose of learning has the bad taste taken
out or is compressed into tablets that can
be swallowed at a gulp. And the process
isn't going 70 make the sturdiest kind of
men and women. in my opinion"

A Mothers Plan.

know busy leader of society in q
large city, says u writer in the Cincinnati
Gazette, who has the finest working plan
of conducting her children g reading of any
mother know. The children attend q
private school in the morning and romp
and play to their hearts, content after that
until 5 O'Clock in the afternoon. At 5
O'Clock, a little tea table is set out in the
big nursery, bountifully loaded with lots
and lots of the very thinnest slices of hot
buttered toast, some dainty little dishes
and preserves, and unlimited cups of hot
cocoa, milk and hot water; then the chill
dren and mamma Danish the nurse to the
kitchen and hold the fort in high glee un-
til 6 o'clock-the children eating, and the
mother reading aloud some delightful
bcok-loolzing up now and then to check
Robbies greed or Nellie's dawdling, with
q smile. zA-
The children, as result, have beauti-
ful table manners; for gross breach of
etiquette sends mamma and the book away
before 6 O'Clock, and brings nurse and
bedtime. l asked Mrs. A. to give me q
list OF the books she read thus to tho chill

The Fate OF O Hule-Beater.

Prosecuting Attorney Wallace was
called to Indian Grove last Tuesday
to try the case of the state vs.. Chas
Stoken for numerically beating a
mule belonging to Robt. Trautner,
for whom Stoken was working.
1t seems that the mule was unbro-
ken and that Stoken, with Traut
ner's consent, had started to ride
the animal to Mendon, when the
mule became unruly or stubborn and
Stoken commenced to beat it, and
to which Trautner lent encourage
ment, but after the inhuman and
beastly beating of the mule resulted
in it's head swelling to almost the
size of a washing tub, Trautner ha
Stoken arrested on a charge OF cru
city to animals.
The case was tried by jury n'Squire

Stoken's being fined 81 and costs,
amounting in all to $31.

A "sassy" Coon.

Henry Allen, Keytesville colored
"generman," was making a good
deal OF fuss with his mouth last Sat-
urdsy about betting on a wrestling
match. He was requested to keep
less noise on the street. and 60 down
on the bottom il he wanted to bet,
this request being made by Marshal
veatch. The officer called Aliens
attention to his presence by tapping
him on the leg with a cane, which
aroused the negro's ire and he told
Mr.. veatch "not to hit him wild dat
stick" declaring "dat he would not
go nowhar," at the same time en-
phasizing his remarks by using sew
eral "cuss" words. About this time
the noisy son OF Ham was made to
feel the marshal's cane in earn
est and was requested to ac-
company him before the may
or. but City Attorney Miller
refused to file an information on the
grounds that he could not make a
case against Allen, which put a stop
to further proceedings against Mr..
Coon. Something. however, ought
to be done to suppress such
conduct as Allen was indulging in
just prior TO and after Mr.. Veatch
approached him last Saturday, and
we cannot help but think had Allen
been properly prosecuted there would
have been no trouble in obtaining a
conviction, and especially If what
Mr.. yeatch says 10 reference to the
case can be established as true.

A Colored Teacher In Trouble.

Prof. Z. A. Parrish, principal OF

is in trouble, being under the shad-
ow OF serious charges which County
School Commissioners Coleman will
go to Brunswick today to investi-
gate.
Mamie White, one of Prof. Par
rish's pupils. states, in writing, that
the professor" made indecent pro-
posals to her in an attempt to de-
bauch her, and on various occasions
made attempts to gain her consent to
enter into illicit relations with him.
Other ugly charges have also been
preferred against the dusky peda-
gogue, one pupil alleging that on
one occasion Parrish tenderly allud.
ed to him as a ''iack-ass."
Prof. Parrish, however, says that
the charges are purely of trumped-
ND character, and svows that some
of them, at least, are two years old.
Quite a lively time is anticipated at
the trial of the case to-day.
j. w. Davis, OF Brunswick, will
appear on behalf of the prosecution
and Capt. ]. C. Wallace, of Keytes-
vile. will represent Parrish, while
Prof. Coleman will preside in the
case.
