ed n hand to the courteous colonel. At
the same moment Pyle's men recognized
the patriot legion and opened fire. The
columns being parallel and at close
quarters, the sabers of the legion were
quicker in execution than the muskets
of tho loyalists. They cut down 80 Of
Pyle's men and wounded scores besides.
Pyle ran away, but was afterward taken,
and Tarleton received warning in time
to move across the Haw. Fortune, the
capricious goddess, gave us Pyle and
saved Tarleton, was the terse language

The virtue of doing thing in the right
way seems TO have been demonstrated
in the matter of the State House land
condemnation bills, which were stopped
in their progress through the Assembly
by that veteran legislator, FREEMAN Of
Lincoln. The commissioners uudoubt-
ediy thought they went about it the
right way, and there was no
serious objection made TO the
amount Of their bill, its stopping by Sem
ator FREEMAN being simply on the
ground that it lacked the Courts written
o. X, although the Commission thought
they had the Courts approval. The
matter is now Strengthened out. and in
cidentally the State is saved $4,000. which
saving, however, is of doubtful value.

After frying doughnuts or fritters or
anything of that kind shave off few
slices OF potatoes when you are done
with the grease and drop them in the
sizzling fat; let them cook an instant
and then set on the back of the stove
to cool very slowly. In the course Of
half an hour remove to place to cool
more rapidly, and just before it gets
beyond the pouring stage strain
through cloth into a clean jar. You
will ind that the lard is nearly as
sweet as ever, being only little darker,
which does not hurt it for frying cakes

HOW TO MANICURE.
The First Treatment Is by All Odds tho
Most Difficult.

The First Treatment Is by All Odds tho
Most Difficult.
Hot water is the first requisite, and a.
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This is best attained by having
the hot water poured into basin con-
tinual1y for two or three minutes. The
hands must be allowed to soak for full
" five minutes, and it is well, instead
of soap, to wash the hands thoroughly
in bran, which makes the skin soft and
white. After the hands have been thor
oughly cleansed the nails should then
be attended to, says Harpers Bazaar.
With a piece of Orange-wood stick
sharpened to point, and bit of jew
elers' cotton rolled around the point
and wet with the acid that comes for
this purpose, every particle of dirt and
stain should be removed. The hands
must then again be washed, this time
in warm, not hot water. Scissors very
sharp and fine must then be taken, and
all loose flesh at the side of the nails
carefully trimmed. The nails must be
shaped in pointed oval. All roughness
must be fled away and the flesh at the
base of the nail pushed smoothly and
firmly back so that the half-moon, sup
posed to be point OF beauty, can be
discerned.
1t is no longer considered good form
to have so much polish on the nails
that they look as though they had been
buttered, as was the fashion two or
three years ago. But a certain amount
of polish is necessary. Rosaline put on
over the entire nail and the end of the
finger, then washed off again and the
nails polished briskly with polisher,
makes the hands look trim and pretty.
The first manicuring is by all odds the
most difficult. After the nails and
hands are once got into good condition,
fifteen minutes each Monday morning
will keep them in proper condition all
the week through if only ordinary care
in washing the hands, with an occasion
al rub from the polisher, is given.

Good Luck in Matrimony Follows the Girl
Who Makes Them.
At all times gartars have been consid-
cred very important details of woman's
dress, and always associated in some
manner with matrimOny. Down
through half a dozen centuries comes
to US the custom practiced to-day of
having the carriers as a finishing touch
to a brides toilet. The particular girl
friend who is permitted to slip them
into place is conceded to stand the best
possible chance of wedding happily be-
fore twelve months are out.
A prospect of near and blissful matri-
mony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making a brides
carriers, the proper pattern for which is
now circle Of white silk elastic COW
cred with embroidered white satin and
clasped b. q small gold buckle enan-
eled in white bow knots. The carriers
of Marie hnt0iucttc were pretty pink
silk bands deliberately embroidered on
the uppe~ half in tiny jewels and gold
thread. In an American family are
preserved the bridal carriers of a titled
English ancestress. These are of white
silk, nearly two inches broad. and dec
grated with round buttons made of seed
pearls, from which suspend pearl cords
and tassels two inches long.-Philadel-

The electric candle is in great re-
quest in England for the lighting and
decoration of dining and other tables.
An ingenious device for lighting the
candles is provided by placing small
pads under the tablecloth, and taking
the current from them by means Of two
pin points in the base OF the candle
stick. The candles, of course, are ex-
tinguished on being taken from the
table, and are relighted when they are
replaced in the proper position. They
are so arranged that the bulb and the
glass imitation of a wax candle can be
removed, when the candlestick can be
used for an ordinary candle When
used with shades of colored silk, the
electric candle makes one of the pref
test additions to dinner table that it
is possible to imagine.

for the edge and outline stitch for the
flowers and ribbon. If the natural
colors are preferred, work the edge and
ribbon with the white flo floss, the
flowers with blue, a French knot of
yellow for the center.
The forget-me-nots can also be
worked in satin stitch, which is an
over-and-over stitch from one side of
flower or petal to the other; or in long
and short buttonhole, which leaves the
edge heavier and is very good. The
ribbon after being outlined may be
further enriched by a row of feather
stitch through the center. After work.

sharp scissors, and go over it once more
with the flo floss, taking the stitches
