Curds and Cream, without Wine.

Into quart of new milk, warm from the COW tor heated to the same point afterward), stir two tablespoonfuls of extract of rennet. You can buy bot tie in any drug store for twenty-five cents. Stir well, pour into glass dish, and leave in warm place for half an hour then grate nutmeg over the top, and set in cold place till wanted. With it serve jug of plain cream, and little maple sugar, scraped down with knife, and piled in pres- ty little fancy dish or saucer. This is instead of the sherry and sugar gener> ally stirred into the cream. Too sim pie, is it? Just try it, and see that your dessert will take five minutes to make, and will cost you about ten cents, unless you like it so well that you have to make double quantity next time.-Mrs. E. M. Jones, in Country Gentleman.

than her share of attention, for, in the promenade, and more noticeably in the whirl of the dance, a faint musical ments and beat time to the rhythm of her step.
 None of the many male admirers that flocked around her could discover the source of the mysterious chimes, till twinkle of her white kid slipper explained the puzzle. A tiny gold bell was fastened to her instep, and it's tongue kept up a continual prattle, calling attention to it's fair owner.
 At one of the large Broadway jew elry stores New York Journal re- porter learned that bells for ball slip pers have been worn abroad, especially in France, for years, Here, however, they are such decidedly novel impor- tation that they are very hard to find. This difficulty will, of course, exist only for very short tune, as the Im- mediate demand will create rapid supply.
 There is room for variety of tastes and variety of expenditures, in pur- chasing these miniature tintinnabula- tions. It is possible to get them in tin and cheap metals as low as eight cents a dozen. These come in many colors, green, rcd, gold, blue and white, and can be adapted to any costume.
 But, of course, it will never do for swagger people to wear anything so cheap, and nothing but sterling silver or eightecn-carat gold will find its way to the instep of society.
 At present the silver or gold bells of the more expensive grades will have to be made to order, but this will only

Colors and complexinns.

Every woman who is ambitious to look her best should have a list for pri- vate consultation of trying colors. Each complexion has its best and it's worst possibilities. Most persons can wear dark blue or green, for instance, but very few can wear dark red. It is wise to accept ones limitations and dress within them. If peacock blue is unbecoming-and it usually is-why should we make guys of ourselves by donning it? If white is our kindcst ally, why not choose white whenever it is possible to have it?

Protection Versus Free Trade.

In 1892, as a result of the passage of the Mckinley bill, new textile mills began to spring up all over the coun- try. New woolen, cotton, silk and other mills gave employment to an in- creased number of men, and prosperity Tcigned throughout the land. In No, vember, 1892, Grover Cleveland was elected on distinctively free trade platform. The success of Cleveland and his party was the signal for the abandonment of all new textile enter prises and the closing up of many that had been successfully conducted for over score of years. Before Cleveland and his party were in power six months the wretchcd condition of affairs that existed during Buchanan's administra- ton was paralleled. This singular CO., incidence may be attributable to other causes, but it will be difficult to make the American workingm men believe that the threat of forcing free trade on the country is not responsible for the present depression. They justly argue from observed facts that the country was invariably prosperous under pro- tection, and that the very shadow of unlimited foreign competition is suf- fcient to paralyze industry.

A GEORGIA TRAGEDY.
A Girl Murders Her Father to
Protect Her Mother.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 25.-A
special to the Constitution from
Homer, Banks county, says thst j.
F. Willis was killed last week by
his daughter Lillian, and his wife.
The news of the tragedy did not
leak out for several dav,, when a
son Francis, eleven years old,
told it to some nieghbors. Daugh-
ter and mother were both arrested
taken to Homer and given pre-
liminary trial. The boy testified
that his father came home from
work ABOUT dark and, setting his
bottle of whiskey upon the cup
board, called for his supper. After
beginning to eat his meal, a diff
fculty arose between the father
and mother, but the former sat
down on a chair before the fire
when Lillian, the girl, about fifteen
years old, struck him with the axe,
cutting cash in his skull. Rising
up and screaming, Willis threw
back his head and the mother took
the axe from the girl and cut him
across the throat with it. The
deed was done, and in a very short
time Willis died. The girl says
she struck the blow with the axe
after having cut her fathers throat
with a razor, while Willis was
choking her mother to death. After
drawing the razor across the throat
of her father and seeing that he
was not dead she picked up the
axe and finished him. Her plea
is that she did the deed to save her
mothers life.
Judge J. B. Estes of Gainesville,
and Hubert Estes of Macon were,
appointed to defend Mrs Willis,
and the girl; R. B. Russell, the
solicitor gensral, represented the
State. The crowd remained an
xiously awaiting the verdict of
the jury until yesterday after
noon when the jury rendered
verdict turning the girl loose.
The verdict was met with de-
monstrations of applause by those
in the court room.

DAM TROUBLE, THIS.
May Be Lawsuit on the City
of Augustus Hands.

There is possibly a big law suit
ahead for the city Of Augusta, re-
lative to the dam across the river
at the locks.
This piece of masonry is a very
important factor in Augustus in
dustrial advancement and any at
tack upon it will of course, be a
signal for warfare of the most
earnest kind. The trouble that is
brewing, comes from the Carolina
side and two able lawyers, Messrs,
Croft & Tillman, have been Sc
cured to conduct the operations
against this city.
The Carolina version of the
question is as follows: When the
present dam was built three and
one-third acres were secured from
Mr.. Henry Townes, on whose
place the Carolina end of the dam
rests. 1t now turns out that the
land was entailed on Mrs. Townes
during her life time and at her
death reverted to her two sons and
Mr.. Townes had only acted as a
trustee for her, and as such could
only negotiate for such an interest
as his wife held. Recently the two
heirs, Mr.. Wills Townes, who
worked at the newspaper business
in this city for some time, and DR..
II. H. Townes, of Edgefeld county
have arrived at the age of 81 years
and think they have something to
say in the matter.
A Chronicle reporter saw Mr..
James Tlllman, one OF the attorney
yesterday and the gentleman said
that he had addressed a letter to
Mayor Alexander requesting that
the dam be removed from the land
of his clients. This is but the
initial step il long legal con-
troversy that will follow, for Of
course, the courts will be appealed
to and each side will fight to the
last trenches.
Mr.. Tillman stated further that
while no exact value had been put
on the land that they considered
it worth about 100000. The city
of Augusta admits no irregularity
whatever and will conteste
claim of the Carolinians with the
utmost VigOr.

NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTION LAWS.

Few readers or publishers of papers
fully and clearly understand the laws
governing subscriptions. The decisions
of the United States Court on this sub
ject are:
l. Subscribers who do not give eX-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their SUBJ
scriptions.
3. If subscribers order the discon-
sinuance of THAR periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them un-
til all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse TO
take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their dills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
a. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held respon-
siDle.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is pr;ma facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
elf subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end OF
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it; otherwise the publish
er is authorised to send it, and the
subscriber will be responsible until an
express notice, with payment OF all
arrearae ees, is sent to publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay it. Under this law the
man who allows his subscription 10
run along for sometime unpaid, ana
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused"
and have postal oard sent notifying
the publishers, lays himself Lhss l,aole
to arrest and fine, the same as Tor thelI.

It is reported from Washington
that President Cleveland will veto
the Bland bill, sometimes called
the seigniorage bill, and that such
veto will cause a disruption of the
cabinet. Perhaps this would bring
Cleveland to his senses.
Uncle George Tillman was right
when he said that Cleveland was
no better than a Republican in his
financial theories and would prove
a tool of Wall Street.
