Care of Children.

''My children frequently go through
an entire winter without the sign of a
cold, said a mother the other day,
land 1 attribute their immunity largely
to my insistence that they shall not run
about in their bare feet. All children
like to do this, both at night, after they
are ready for bed, and i'll the morning
before they are dressed. Few things are
more directly conducive to cold than
this chilling of the feet, and to guard
against it l provide the crocheted bed
room slippers for each child. 1t took
vigilance and constant reiteration to
teach them to wear them every time
their shoes and stockings were dotted,
but they are trained now, and they slip
their bare feet into the worsted shoes in
stinctively and invariably. Warm and
dry feet in winter are the best prevent
i've of colds that has been yet found. -

Yesterday a number of Topeka women
were talking of desire they had to do
newspaper work. The majority of them
of course were considering only society
reporting. Well. said bright girl, I'd
rather do police court porting, it would
be some satisfaction to see people tried
for their ofenses.
The man who tries to convince himself
that the modern girl don't care for

We are gravely informed by the Eng
lish fashion periodicals that ladies are
to discard long hosiery in favor of socks.
They speak of it as an accomplished
fact, but so far there have been no evil
dences of such an innovation here, and
it seems scarcely possibly; but, looking
backward to the first empire, we may
not be too positive that women will not
wear them. The English claim that
socks are healthier than stockings. They
certainly cannot be prettier.

Box P1aits Again.

The box plat is steadily growing in
favor. Most of Redfern's gowns and
those of other fashionable artists have
the waists made with one or more box
plaits. Occasionally the plaits are simu-
lated. and both these and the real ones
are occasionally trimmed on both edges
with narrow bands of fur or jet, and in
dressy costumes the space between the
plaits is filed with loose, full plaitings
of chiffon or mousseline de sole, gener-
ally in contrasting or harmonizing col
or, rather than to match the material of
the waist.-Fashion Journal.

eide, her father, two brothers and

named Baker in humble but

Kate asked her unmarried sister
to buy her a new dress for sum-
mer wear. Her request was re-
fused, SO the sister says, for fnan-
clal reasons. Kate became an
cry, but subsequently she seemed
to be cheerful and it was thought
she had got over her disappoint-
ment. She was last seen alive
about half-past 8 last Tuesday
evening. At that time she was
in a merry mood. About G
o'clock her brother, James Nc
Coy, found ner hanging to a
round of a ladder leading from
the third story to a garret. She
was quite dead. The brother
and Policeman O'Brien, of the

KINSTON INCENDIARISMS.
THREE NEGROES IN JAIL
CHARGED WITH THIS CRIME
-PROFF DEVELOPING
AGAINST THEM.

The Kinston people, we are
glad to say, seem at last to be
getting some Developments rela-
tive to the fire bugs who have
caused such destruction and are
keeping the town i'll dread of
further calamity by their evil
hands.
Three negro men have been
arrested and one Isiah Hill was
examined Friday. Alex. Rouse
who has been i'll Jail longer than
any of the others being put upon
the stand, testified that Hill at
one time confessed to him that
he and another negro named
Hill Dove, who also is in jail has
set one of the big fires.
Hill was detected one night,
the early part of the week, i'll a
citizens yard. He escaped but
was tracked to his home by a
policeman. This led to his ar
rest. He has been suspected be-
fore.
The general impression is that
the right ones are caught and it
can readily be imagined that the
fact is very gratifying to the
Kinston people. It is to be hoped
that the crime will be fastened to
all concerned i'll it beyond the
shadow of a doubt, and that they
may get the fullest penalty of the
law.-Nr70 Be1We J0n1u0l

Must Stay or 60.

Secretary Carlisle has refused
to reverse his decision as TO de
porting three Cinnamon clerks
who are now at San Francisco.
These Cinnamon left New Or
leans several months ago for
Bluefelds with the intention Of
settling there. They changed
their minds and returned to New
Orleans. Admission TO the Uni
ted States was denied them and
they were ordered deported to
China. They have arrived at
San Francisco en- route and the
Chinese consul there interested
himself in their behalfs claiming
they had right to return to the
United States and that their de-
portation IS in violation of the
Chinese treaties. The treasury
department made an exhaustive
investigation into their case
when they were arrested at New
Orleans, aud Secretary Carlisle
sees no reason to change the de-
cision then reached.

REFORMATORY NEEDED.
AN EXAMPLE FURNISHED IN CRAVEN
COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.

The New Berne JowuaL says :
The need for a reformatory for
Youthful criminals, was again
exenplifed III the Superior
court OF Craven county on Tues
day the nth instant. Michael
| Sykes, colored, who IS sent up to
the penitentiary for three years,
is but a small street ganin, ap-
parently about thirteen years OF
age, but young as he is he is all
incorrigible little reprobate. 1t
seems about as natural tor him
to steal as to eat, and he has
been giving the authorities per
picking annoyance for about half
! his life, and if loose he would no
doubt be stealing again within a
week.
When he would be caught 1t
was hard to tell what to do with
him because he was considered
too small to send to the peniten~
tiary and there was no other
house Of correction to receive
him, but something at last had
to be done, and to the peniten-
tiary he goes.
He will stand as good chance
there of reforming as he would
running at large pursuing his
present course, and perhaps bet
ter, for he will have no opportu~
nifty to carry out his evil propen
sity and may perhaps be in
clined to do differently when he
again breathes the air of freedom
Judge Bryan in sentencing him
spoke good words of advice tc
him along this line.
Still it would be better if there
were a place where offenders like
him could be placed apart from
the old, hardened criminals, and
direct effort towards their recla-
nation be made.
A bill for this purpose was in
troduced in the last Legislature
but it failed. We hope to see il
| pass the next one The T0urua4
and nearly all other papers o.
the State have worked for the
establishment of such an institu.
ltion and people are waking up OF
the subject. 1t is only a question
of time before we will have one
