Death of Capt. j. B. White.

This gentleman whose sickness was
mentioned in these columns, died at
his residence in Henderson at 1870
O'Clock yesterday morning. Capt.
White was one of the oldest and best
known citizens of the town. He had
been resident here about 33 years.
Although he complained but little it
was known to his intimate friends that
he had not been in sound health for
some time. His immediate sickness
which resulted fatally dated back about
two and one -half months. Capt. White
was native Of Accomac county, Va,
and was in his G9th year. He leaves
wife and four children, two sons and
two daughters, all grown. He was a
brother of DR.. J. A. White, one of the
most eminent physicians of Richmond,
and has large family connection in
both Virginia and North Carolina.
Capt. White was man Of strong
mind and firm convictions, steadfast in
his purposes and principles, and was a
warm and true friend, kind and indul-
gent husband and father.
A man of fine physique, dignified
bearing and commanding presence,
Capt. White was a conspicuous figure
in any assemblage, and to know him
once was to remember him afterward.
He was fine accountant and good
civil engineer and the latter years of
his life were devoted mainly to these
pursuits. AS a young man Capt.
White was quite successful in business
and at one time owned considerable
property. Reverses of fortune incident
to the war and other causes had swept
away his estate but he did not trouble
himself or others on this account. One
so long and 50 intimately known
among US will be greatly missed in tho
community.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed from his late residence at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon. Interment at the
cemetery.

TO REMOVE STAINS.

TO REMOVE STAINS.
To remove resin, tar, axle grease or
similar stains, wet the cloth, apply the
fat or any common oil to the stain and
thoroughly soap it; allow the soap to
remain for short time, then wash
alternately with turpentine and warm
water. If this will not remove the
stain, cover over the stain with a
mixture of oil Of turpentine and the
white Of egg, and let it stand for some
time until it softens up. Then wash
with hot soap water and rinse.
KITCHEN CLEANING.
The most disagreeable feature of
kitchen work is undoubtedly the
cleaning of kettles and pans in which
food has been cooked. One woman
has lightened even this task. AS soon
as a meat or vegetable is removed
from the vessel in which it has been
cooked to its table dish, she almost
fills the cooking vessel with water,
adds pinch Of borax and puts it on
the back of the stove to heat slowly.
When pot-washing time arrives. her
labor is merely nominal, so cleansing
have the warm water and borax proved.

Not since "The Anglomaniacs has
there been so clever Il society satire AS
Henry Fuller's "Pilgrim Sons, which is
published in the August COsMOPoLITAN.
The problems involved i'll woman's use
OF the bicycle are so startling and so
numerous, under the rapid evolution OF
this art, the subject by so trained mind
and so clever a writer as Mrs. Reginald
de koven. The COsMOPoLITANi illustrates
Mrs. de koven's article with a series OF
poses by professional models. A new
sport, more thrilling than any known to
Nimrod, more dangerous than was ever
experienced by even Buffalo Bill, is ex-
plotted in the same issue in an article on
''Photographing Big Game in the Rocky
Mountains before shooting. The idea
that ten cents for The CosNOPOLITAN
means inferiority from a literary point
of view is dispelled by the appearance in
this number of such writer's as Sir Lewis
Morris. Sir Edwin Arnold. Edgar Faw-
cett. Tabb, W. Clark Russell, Lang,
Sarcey, Zangwil. Agnes Replier. etc.
Nor can we entertain the idea OF inferior
ity in illustration with such names as

HEAD OF A NOBLE INSTITUTION.
Superintendent Lawrence and the OK.

Mr.. n. NJ. Lawrence, superinten-

has been travelling in the Eastern
part OF the State with chapter of or
phans giving entertainments for the
benefit OF the Orphanase, and incident

renee gave US a full account of the work
ing OF the Asylum, which was exceedingly
interesting to US, and made rs at times
regret that it had not been in existence
when We were an orphan. There are 200
happy children in the Oxford Home, and
they are az independent and self-support-
ing as Robinson Crusoe and his man

Institution is love and kindness, and
when these motives fail dismissal follows,
which rarely becomes necessary. The
information given was q new revelation

mond qualities OF Jack Mills, when we
were told that to him, first OF all, was
due the honor OF having founded the
noblest benevolent institution in North

Rules of Good Breeding.

There are two things (among others
of which a well bred woman will not
be guilty. One is, crossing her knees
in the horse cars or other public con-
veyance; the second, writing notes on
postal cards. The young lady who
wears a masculine tailor made gown,
and believes her boots are irreproacha-
BILE, may if she pleases, show them off
at home; but one of the Irst lessons
taught in good society is to observe a
certain, pedal reticence when in the
company Of strangers. 1t is not grace
full to wag the foot in the face Of an TN
sympathetic vis-a-vis, and when the
instep is below par. and the ankle none
too round, it doesn't help one to forget
and forgive. A certain independent
class of girls invariably neglect this
branch of their department, and some
body should really %conjure them to
practice a little more coquetry and
keep their toes a la Sir John Stockings
poem. AS to postal card CORE
spondence, it is bad form, especially
when postage is so cheap. Refined and
cultivated women do not resort to a
card save in cases Of great intimacy,
where a word or two is sufficient to
indicate the wishes of the writer; but
to write a familiar note to a distant
acquaintance on this useful business
postal card is to break one of the in
stinctively understood rules Of good
breeding, and to be as guilty of a
breach of etiquette as though, when
writing to a friend, one signed herself
Mrs. John Smith, instead of with the
initials of her own name without a

The use of cosmetics, face powders
and rouges cannot be too strongly con-
demned, writes Eloise PerdriX in the
Ladies' Home Journal. They stamp
the person using them as silly and vul-
gar in the eyes of all refined and
cultured people, and do not in even the
slightest degree enhance or beautify
A good complexion needs no artificial
toning or he~ightening, nature being the
cleverest of all artists. A poor kin is
kept clogged and its condition impover'
ished by the application of cosmetics
often, indeed, it is poisoned by the
harmful ingredients contained in them

What a single shell can do one
modern ~projectile flying true to its
mark-was manifested at the battle
between the Chinese and Japanese
fleets off the Yalu river in September.
One Canet shell weighing nearly 1,OOC
pounds, of the Hotter make. struck
the Chinese battle ship Ping Iuen
crushing through the after part of the
armored deck, tearing a vast hole
through which the water poured IL
such volumes that the vessel went
down, carrying most of her officers
and crew with her. The cost of such
a shell is somewhere between 5000
and 1000, but the cost of a battle
ship is $1,000, 600 up. Such evidence
of the power of a single shot go fan

the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of a perfect lax

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
