NEW STYLE OF FEATHER FAN.

mounting of some white fans, with
very elegant effect. Among the more
elegant and expensive fans one again
finds the painting of the empire date
mounted with white ivory or highly pol
ished pearl sticks; the price is $35. One
with inlaid border of gold on the pearl,
quite large in size and very exquisite
Us to painting, is $50. Lace fans are, as
a rule, conspicuously absent. A new
make of fan numbered among recent
importations and likely to prove popu-
lar during the winter season for dress
occasions is composed of ostrich feath-
ers. The novelty introduced consists IN
n triple tip peeping over the top at in
tervals and adding decidedly to the gem

FASHION IN FANS.
The Only Decided Novelty OF tho Year
In Feathers.

The Only Decided Novelty of tho Year To
In Feathers.
The empire size and style decidedly
continues its sway, and is, in it's short
ness of build and small sem-circular
proportions, convenient to handle and
to pack away. There is, therefore, in
fact, less necessity for the extra "trav-
cling fam" The very small fan, how
ever, still bestows itself conveniently
into the handbag, and if it's breezes be
small, so, as rule, is it's price. In paper
coverings of Japanese manufacture and
design one finds it from cents to 25
cents, and in less perishable form, with
plain colored cloth, without decoration,
at 35 cents; stamped in flower desiguA
at 65 cents, and again hand painted au
one dollar.
of the larger size, claiming no special
period of it's own, one finds a large as
sortment of pretty japanese fans; the
wooden sticks are largely stained to
match the predominatmg color of the
background or painting of the upper
portion of the fan. A lacing of cord on
the outer sides of the fan is by no means
novel, but very pretty addition. The
price of well-made japanese fan is
one dollar, although one can purchase
one at half and even quarter that price,
of good quality and pretty appearance.
Another dainty make of fan is thin
gauze covering. Spangles are much
used in the ornamentation of fans.
Paintings on gauze of odd-shaped
medallion pictures of the empire pc
riod, with spangles outlining the pic
ture, are very dainty; price, 5000. Tor
toise shell sticks are used in the

AIwnrn Gets the WORM.

A very strange animal, related to the
lemurs, and peculiar to Madagascar,
is the aye-aye. 1t feeds on wood-borng
grubs that tunnel into the bark of
trees. The beast cuts away the outer
bark with its chisel-lilSe teeth, and as
the worm retreats to the end of it's
hole pokes after it with finger. This
finger is remarkable organ, evidently
provided by nature for this purpose, be-
ing abnormally long and armed with
a hook-shaped claw for dragging ou'
the grub.

POSTAL CARD MAGNET.
Pretty Experiment Which Must Not he
Tried in Damp Weather.

No doubt you've all made a rubber
comb pick up bits of paper by first rub
bing it briskly on rough coat sleeve,
but did you ever hear of postal card
that could be turned into magnet?
Balance a walking stick on the back
of chair and tell the spectators that
you are going to make it fall without
touching it or the chair.
Having thoroughly dried postal
card, preferably before an open fire,
rub it briskly on your sleeve and then
hold it near one end of the stick. The
stick will Mt once be attracted to the
rard, and will follow it as if it were a
magnet. AS it moves it will soon lose it's
equilibrium and fall from the chair.

A revival of the old "blue glass" fad
is to be found in the sun cure. The new
sun cure is closely allied to the rest
cure, and may be very easily tried at

and determination, are all the requisites
for the treatment which is supposed to

MAN OF IRON NERVE.
How He snatched n Lighted Candle from
n Kcg of Powder


n Keg of Powder.
1t happened in London many years
ago. On the third floor of large ware
house was stored a considerable guam
tity of gunpowder. One of the barrels
containing the explosive had been
opened for the purpose of examining
the contents, and had been left uncov-
cred.
In the establishment was employed
young man of a peculiarly headstrong,
needless temperament-just the sort of
fellow who nowadays picks up pistol,
pulls the trigger and shoots comrade,
and then explains with many tears that
he didn't think it was loaded" This
clerk was sent upstairs one evening
on some errand. He carried in
his hand lighted candle, and on enter
ing the store-room; without paying the
smallest attention to what he was doing,
clapped down his tallow dip right in
the midst of the powder in the open bar
rel. There was no candlestick-he SIM
ply jabbed the bottom of the candle into
the loose black dust in which single
spark would let loose force that would
rend him in fragments and lay waste
the entire neighborhood.
He had scarcely lifted his hand when
he realized the whole situation; but his
craven soul was too weak to face it. He
fled in abject terror, and related

Beds FOR the Chlldren.

The bedding for children's cribs
should be soft and warm, and the Gov
ering as light as it can be, consistent
with the requisite warmth during the
cold seasons. After the first year a
horsehair or good flock mattress is
better for children than feather beds,
unless in cases of delicate. thin chill
dren, whose feeble circulation seems u
stand in need of more indulgence in
warmth than the more robust.

wide Rings as swell Jewelry.

Rings that cover the finger from ths
knuckle to the joint above are the latest
designs in the matter of swell jewelry.
Their only disadvantage lies in the fact
that the number worn must necessarily
be limited by the size of ones finger.
Moderate sized diamonds surrounding
some single large stone, or set just
above it in pear-shaped group, form
the usual setting.

Dreadful
Rheumatism,

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatism-that de-
p1orab1e condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-ca1led blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms Of
rheumatism is tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from d lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. S.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
1ation to it's normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
about five years ago was great
sufferer from rheumatism. / was
treated by all the leading physicians

LOUIS PEOPLES ARRESTED.
HE is CHARGED WITH TAMPERING
WITH THE MAIL.
Committed to the Atlanta Jail in De-
fault of Bend. Registered
Letters Missed.
Letters Missed.

The people of Dawson were surprised
to learn last Friday that Mr.. L. G. Pee
pes had been committed to the Atlanta
Jail by the United States authorities on
the charge of tampering with mail mat
ter.
Peoples, until his trouble came up,
had been route agent for ten years, his
run being from Chattanooga to Bruins
wick. He is now accused of appropriate
ing five registered packages which new
er reached their destination and which
he could never account for.
The alleged defalcatiOn was commit
ted several months ago, but the authori-
ties, having no desire to prosecute the
young man, promised to release him if
he would turn oven the amount suppos-
ed to have been in the packages. 1t is
claimed that the sum is Somewhere in
the neighborhood of 5000.
Peoples came to his home in Dawson
two or three weeks ago, and, having fail
ed to settle, was ordered arrested last
Monday. Deputy United States Mar
shall Crow came down from Columbus
that day and put the young man under
surveillance. He was not taken in charge
by Marshal Crow, but, frieEd becoming
responsible for his appearance when
wanted by the officer, was given anoth-
er opportunity to make an effort to raise
the money. This he failed to do, and
left for Columbus with che officer
Wednesday for preliminary trial before
the commissioner. So quietly was the
matter kept that no one in Dawson knew
of it but officers and one or two close
friends of the young man.
At Columbus Thursday Peoples waiv-
, ed preliminary hearing and was commit.
ted to the Atlanta Jail under a $500
| bond.
Since his arrest Peoples has talked
freely about his trouble. He claims,
however, that there was only one pack
age over which there was any dispute,
81 acknowledge having received that
PACKAGE" said he, 'but it was in some
ineXplicable manner lost. l can't tell
just how, but | know l never intended
to steal it. l have been expecting re-
mittance to cover the amount of the
shortage ever since this trouble first
arose, and offered to settle with the
authorities. | was disappointed in get.
ting the money, and this is the reason
why l AN locked up. l am certain that
l can get bond, however, and will be
out"
The evidence is not thought to be
strong against Peoples. When register
ed packages are turned over to mailing
clerks they are required to take receipts
from the pOstmasters. 1t is charged
that these five packages have been tracec
into Peoples hands and no further.
His case will come up before Judg,
Newman in a short while.
By a special request from Marsha
Dunlap, Peoples was allowed TO remain
in the front part of the Jail, and was no
locked in the rock with the rest of th
prisoners. He is young man of gooC
address, and is Of an excellent family.
