The cable connection has been made be-

there will be direct telegraphic communities

little difference with Port Penn, but we
shall feel more en- rapport with the outside
world which as general thing, apparently
rolls along leaving us far in the rear.
Hog killing has begun. although the
weather is somewhat mild for it. The ex-
pense of feeding is so great that their end
is hastened. About twenty men and a
crowd of children assembled at the first
squeal in order to be in at the death and
with probably the same morbid curiosity
which people exhibit at q hanging or whip
ping of criminals. Apropo of criminals,
two gentlemen have had horse blankets
stolen here. Mr.. Henry Prices was taken
from his horse while hitched in the church
yard. IL was valued at $500. but there is
little law, and not too much gospel here, SO
the guilty go unpunished and Silently
steal away" As an old darky said to-day.
''there'll be many thing stole here this
winter" Let us however, hope better
things of our neighbors, and be charitable.

of selfrespect, so if we want to help the
poor it is well to find employment. and pay
promptly. instead of making paupers of
them. Have the grounds put in order. and
pay in old clothes, if you cannot spare the
money, or, as Wilmington paper suggests,
have necessary repairs made about the
house. Where persons are sick or disabled
in any way, tits only right to give any thing
they need outright, and it is more than pro-
bable that there will be many such during
these hard times. "The poor ye have al
ways with you" In any case let us try to
do kind things kindly" and not in q way
to make them feel uncomfortable. Times
should not be hard here as elsewhere. for
there has been some government work done,
the banks and roads have been repaired.
Augustine Pier employs goodiy number

dollars we're paid out at the cannery during

A Few Words to Young Girls.

"A row w OfuS 10 Dung GIFTS.
EDS. RECORD UNION: I meet young
girls who would be much more agreeable
to acquaintance and friends if they
would pay more attention to the bathtub
and less to the mirror. An old adage
says cleanliness is next to goodness"
Now I 60 even farther than that. l do
not believe that any one can be godly
unless they are clearly. If they do not
have enough respect for the work of their
Maker to keep clean and pure the temples
in which He has enshrined their souls l
have grave doubts as to the godliness
which they may profess. While an IN
clean mind may inhabit clean body l
don't think clean mind will occupy an
unclean body. Cleanliness not only
shows respect for the Creator but also a
regard for the created, shown in respect
ing the feelings of others with whom you
come in contact.
1t is III fact practicing the golden rule.
To people of refined tastes there is moth
ing more offensive than the presence of
person who has not paid sufficient at
tention to personal cleanliness, while
the air of perfect purity, mental and
physical, surrounding the girl or woman
who treats the body as being the temple
of the soul is charming to all, giving
otfense to none, therefore doing as ye
would be done by.
There are many charming women who
are not beautiful, but none who are not
clean. Lady Mary Wortley Montague
was one of England's wittieSt and most
beautiful women, but she charmed and
pleased none because of her personal I'M
cleanliness.
1t is said "a woman's highest mission
is to please" In any event, she who
most pleases has most influence among
those with whom she associates, either in
the home circle or in society.
The woman who would stand high in
society must not be offensive in any way,
in habits of mind or of body.
Perhaps the expression, habits of mind,
may need explanation. Sullenness, i'm
pertinence are habits of mind that young
girls, IN particular, are most given to.
and are the most dissgreeable habits they
can form, because habits grow with the
growth of the body, and the sulky. sui
len, impairment girl will never be
charming and agreeable woman. Accus-
tom yourselves TO good habits and man
ners, and they will soon become a part
of your nature.
1 have tried to show you the necessity
of perfect and Scrupulous cleanliness,
Now L viii tell you how to secure it.
Bathing the body once a week and the
face once a day is by no means cleanli-
ness. \ bath should be taken at least
every other day in winter, and every day
in summer. The face, neck, ears and
arms should be we'll washed with soap at
least once day, rinsing the soap OFT with
clear water, rubbing the skin hard with
the towel. DON'T be afraid of your skin;
you can't wear it out, and it will look all
the better for the friction. 1t is not abso-
lutely necessary to have bath tub and
all the conYenlenceS III order to insure
perfect cleanliness. A bowl of water,
piece of soap, towel and plenty of hard
rubbing is all that is absolutely neces-
sary.
In conclusion, girls, if you wish to be
charming, "wash and be clean"-daintily
clean. Yours for cleanliness, AQUA.

MILLINERY GOODS,

The forerunners Of Spring style in Ladies'
Hats are now coming in The shapes ex-
hibited for the coming season show a marked
improvement. Many are small, but look as
though they We're designed for comfort to the
wearers. The leading opinions are that the
Poke or Empire Bonnet will lead Next in
favor comes a large Hat with small, low
crown, the brim very much fluted. Another
very good shape is a wide-brimmed Hat
with low crown, the Orim dropping at the
front and back Lace StraWs will again run
favorable with variations Of colOrs, running
in fine suggestion throughout the designs.
The OuIook is bright in all Ornaments.
Buckles will be extensively used, and are
much in demand. Light and brilliant colOrs
will be the novelty Of the season. Mixed
color with strong Scotch effects are indicated.
There are many striking novelties in
Straw Goods, showing a large variety Of
fancy effects in a varied combination Of cOlOrs
The earliest demand for Flowers will
probably be for Roses and Violets. In Ostrich
Feathers, the tendency is toward large tips
and short plumes. Aigrettes are very pOpu-
lar and will be extensively used this season.
