Tho Revolt Of the Daughters.

Why cannot mothers and daughters,
like any two other women, enjoy them
selves alongside without driving each
other crazy? II peoples brains are not
of a size, their tastes not Of kind,
they can live their separate lives with
out evil speaking, lying and SANDER
ing, can't they? No, history says, not
in one house. 1.-TWO in a house, must
entirely sympathize or one must rule.
And the head of the house cannot be
the daughter. Funny enough, and most
inconclusive, are the explanations given
in the recent racy disoussion-a most
useful discussion, too, for if it has put
revolt into the heads of few unrevolt-
ing daughters, who were still benight-
eddy honoring and obeying it has been
a ray Of comfort to many puzzled par
ent and glorious illumination to many
an innocent young eligible. Some peo-
pie say the mothers are too strict, and
Barbara, with her latchkey and her
lola, has their full sympathy. Others
say the mothers are too lax and try to
drive into hideous marriage the shy, re-
fined Virginia, who only asks, as she as
a right to ask, whether the man she is
expected to love has "a past to bury"
In my opinion, The mothers have very
little to do with the matter at all.
Many girls at o certain age seem to like
a grievance, and when they feel bored
at home hunt around for an excuse and
mistake it for reason. They are sure
to find something that will serve and
most likely in the handiest target
mamma. She is usually most innocent.
But when this unfortunate parent real
ly does enter into the question of revolt
ing daughterhood, Mrs. Fitzroy Stew
art hit the right nail ON the head--it
is the pretty parent She actually is, in
a manner, in her daughters way,
though not knowing it and not wishing
it. There is not the slightest doubt that
the daughter is oftener jealous of the
mother than the mother Of the daugh-
ter. I know scores Of cases. "Give US
back cries one kind of jealous daugh-
ter, 1.-THE portly, dowdy mother of old.
She was not very wide awake. She no.
tioed nothing but the key basket, and
that is how it ought to be. She has had
her day" That is the note of jealousy,
the tocsin Of war, 'she has had her
day. "-Ninoteenth Century.

Several London newspapers have been
entertaining their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by lively controver-
sy over the respective size and beauty
of the feet Of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face Of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
q controversy and console themselves
by asserting that tho feet Of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those Of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission. The shoe dealers, when
assured that they may speak incog., re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
10 fit the trim American foot with any
shoe ready made for the fat and fiat
feet of English women.

"Disfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
Unsightly skin diseases.
Do you realize what this disfigura.
ton means to sensitive soulsl
1t means isolation, seclusion.

Do you wonder that despair seizes
upon these sufferers when
Doctors fail,
Standard remedies fail,
And nostrums prove worse than use

Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Have earned the right to be called
Skin Specifics,
Because for years they have met

There are cases that they cannot cure,

She Had Pluck.

Mrs. J. Wilson of 3118 Dearborn street
made one of the neatest catches on rec
ord at an early hour the other morning.
Mrs. Wilson had just returned from a
party and was sitting in her room, with
the light turned down, when she heard
a noise close to her window. Slightly
turning her head, she saw pair of
huge feet incased in tan shoes hanging
from the roof of the house. Without
saying word Mrs. Wilson hid herself
behind the curtains and waited for the
owner of the feet to make his appear
ance. She had not long to wait, for sud-
denly the window was opened, and a
black head was showed i'll. This was
what Mrs. Wilson was waiting for.
Quickly Selling the sash, she brought it
down on the intended burglars head,
pinning him securely between the sash
and the sill She then dispatched her
daughter for an officer, who placed the
fellow under arrest. Chicago Dispatch.

why Woman Suffrage Makes Slow Progress

But the failure Of the attempts to ex-
tend suffrage to women by constitution
al amendment shows that popular in
terest was not aroused sufficiently to
create demand for the reform by the
voters at tho polls. 1t is true that only
the men of the community were able to
vote upon the question, but neverthc'
less it seems to be true that when ma
jority of the women of community
desire and demand the ballot 1t will be
given them by the votes Of the men.
This was the case in Colorado, where,
at the general election Of 1893, the male
electors of the state by handsome ma
jority voted in favor Of the law extend
ing full suffrage to women. The women
of Colorado, by their action at the
spring elections of 1894, have proved
that they intend to make full use of the
power extended to them. MARY A.

RANSOM 4 CUCKOO SENATOR

Senator Ransom, we think, is acting
somewhat in the capacity of a cuckoo
senator. He seems TO follow wherever
Cleveland leads without regard to his
own record or stopping to consider
the wishes and interests of his con-
stituents. The people of North Gro
lima would like to see Senator Ransom
stick little closer to his party plat
form and the interests OF his con-
stituents. At present great many do
not feel that he represents them fairly,
and they will hardly fail to register
their protest at the coming election.
The Times was one of those who
believed that the unconditional repeal
OF the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law was not in accord with
the Democratic platform nor in the
interest of the people. Senator
Ransom voted for it against the
interests of the people of our State,
and III the face of the fact that only
two years before he voted for free
coinage at the present ratio. Have
his views changed? Who has heard
him say? The Democrats will want
these questions answered before they

North Carolina now almost equals
the whole South then in the cotton

by the tables, North Carolina leads IN
the number Of spindles, with 600, 900,
while South Carolina leads in looms,
with I0, 200. North Carolina has the
largest number of mills, but as the
majority of them are small, the
aggregate number Of their spindIes
exceeds South Cardinals by only
$4,000. Georgia comes third on the
list, with $4,000 spindles. South
Carolina will try to take away the
irst place from this State, but we
ought to prevent it.
Burlington leads all other towns in
North Carolina in the numbe- of
mills, having eight, Charlotte has
seven, Rockingham has five and the
following four each: Concord, Durham,

Economical Spring Gowns tor
Ladies.

\ somewhat rapid glance over the COM
ing fashions shows that they are practi-
cally the same as last years This fact,
however, will prove blessing in disguise,
as it will enable many to exercise a we'll
timed economy and take advantage of
this sameness of style for remodelling old
dresses. Every part of a gown can thus
be made over. and especially the over
skirt which will be so largely worn. By
using an old skirt as an Overdress above
a sham skirt of different material, the
transformation will be at once both COM
plete and effective. If the lower part of
an old dress be worn or sOled, it may
easily be removed, as the drapery in some
styles is drawn up as far as the knee on
the side, and half way between the foot
and the knee in front. AS a matter of
course the draperles are varied in form
and sometimes quite complicated. The
