Pennlless on the Train.

New York Sun.
A prosperous New Yorker who pass
ed the summer In Asheville, has
brought back good story Of his own
carelessness and Southern confidence in
human nature. He is an absent-mind-
ed person, and often takes thought of
important matters too late. Hereach-
ed the Asheyille station on his return
to find that he had less than $40 in his
purse. There was not moment to lose.
He was obliged to go his wife and
daughter were to join him at Charlotte,
and to postpone the trip was out of the
question. He invested all the money
be had in ticket which insured his
passage only as far as Salisbury.
II was fiat broke" he says, in telling
the story, land I felt like a tramp
stealing ride, but my gloom was illu-
minated by the hope that my wife and
daughter had been economical enough
to save from their allowances enough
money to pay for our passage to Wash
ington at least. Vain hope! They
got on the train pennlless aud hungry,
without even ticket.
Railroads don't do business on a
credit system, and on that short ride
between Charlotte and Salisbury my
hair nearly turned gray. Any prospect
is more fascinating than that of being
put off penniless, in North Carolina
mountain town at nearly midnight,
with helpless wife and daughter to
look alter. was desperate. Ny brain
whirled in furious endeavor to evolve
some solution. The train stopped at
Salisbury. l ran up to the ticket win
dow, where cool-Jooking fellow was
presiding. / went at him win desper-
alton.
My dear fellow I said, 4 am in a
terrible fx-busted. My wife and
daughter are on that train, and we're
obligeo to go On to New York tonight.
Can't you take my check for three tick
ets?"
"He eyed me cool as ice, and sold
and stamped three tickets to some way
station. Then he turned to give some
fellow information about the midnight
train. It seemed an eternity before he
turned again to me. Then he said la
Guess so,' and proceeded
to stamp up the tickets.
II just dropped. My hand trembled
SO I could hardly sign the check. I'm
going to do something nice for that
young fellow.

Mud Washes,

| Norfolk Landmark.
The old proverb, that there is moth.
| ing that has not some use in the world
if we only knew what it was, has been
verified again. This time the dlscovere1
was the summer girl who has just re.
turned from her outing at the seashore
or in the mountains. The bugaboo OF
the summer girls season is the tan
which she brings back to the city with
her. It interferes with sher wearing o1
evening gowns. And she will go to al
most any extreme to accomplish that
result in hurry.
The latest wrinkle of the city girl is
mud. Plain, dirty, sticky mud. The
idea Is by no means new, but it is the
first time that society as whole has
accepted it is skin beautifier. Swamp
mud or the mud from the bed of a
stream is the best. The skin should be
thoroughly cleansed and dried until
the skin feels warm, and the perspira-
tion has started.,s Then apply the mud
thickly, taking care to keep it from the
eyes. 1t is especially necessary that
care be taken to cover all portions of
the skin alike, as the smallest patch OF
uncovered skin. is likely to stand out
with dlsagreeable plainness the next
morning.
The feeling of the mud on the face
is not as unpleasant as one might at
first suppose. It feels much us coat
ing of yaseline or cold cream would,
and its beneficial results are much
greater. The hands are treated In the
same way, except that it Is advisable to
wear an OLD loose pair of gloves to pre-
vent the mud from being rubbed off
during the night.
The idea of the mud wash is as old
as history. The old Romans@knew OF
it, and it is very probable that Cleopa-
ira used the prescription to enhance
her charms. In the West mud is
panacea for poisonous bites and stings.
And the rural maidens use it to whiten
their skin.
The idea may be distasteful to a
great many people, but it is the fad
Just at present, and has as many devO-
tees as social fancies always do.

"What the world is waiting for" is
subject discussed by Leslie's Weekly.
Among other things described that the
world is waiting tor are the following !:
Making of substances suitable for hu-
man food, similar to flesh meat, direct
lv from the elemental substances max
Ing of pictures by wire machines With
which we may see thousand miles
"around the corner" These last two
possibilities are regarded as probablIi-
ties It is about to be demonstrated
that the artists sketch wrapped on a
wire can be taken at the other end of a
teIegraphic line just as word message
is taken.
And as to seeing "around the corner
a thousand miles away by wire, it is
thought possible. And why should it
not be? Men talk at long distances.
and can not there be some invention
whereby they can see at a distance by
electricity?
Surely the worlds wonders are not
all vet seen, and this age will uncover
manv more of them.
The first woman's club in North Car
olina has been organized in Durham
The News & Observer correspondent
from Durham says:
"A number of our young ladies who are
known throughout the State as society
favorites. have fitted up in tasty man
ner elegant rooms in one OF the best
buildings here. And in these rooms
they gather almost every day In the
week and with various pursuits make
time pass pleasantly and profitably to
themselves, and at the same time con-
ter benefits on others In the community.
"The club is the home of the charlt-
able work which for three years has
been successfully carried on by these
Young ladies, and which mas resulted
in the wise distribution of assistance to
the poor of Durham and her suburbs.
This year they have added the literary
feature, and day after day they devote
their leisure hours to thorough study
of the best in literature. Another pro
iect of these young ladies is sewing
school, whose sessions are held near one
of the cotton mills, and whose pupils
are the young girl operatives. SO 1t Is
sure that while Durham's Woman's
club has It's social side, 1t ls far from
being social club.
