MASSAGE VERSUS BATHS.
French Bcnutics Have Deserted Rub

French Hcnutfcs Have Deserted n ub-
bling In Favor of TIbbinE.
Massage has lost little of its vogue
in Paris for the treatment of obesity,
and now they are starting an establish
ment which is sure to introduce new
and interesting feature into Partisan
Eastern customs of old. 1t is bath
ing tub. where all sorts of baths will
be prepared after the old and foreign
receipts; ass milk. such as Queen lsa-
bella of Bavaria used every morning;
rose water, lemon juice. barley. Mecca
balm. etc. will be found there. and
even the famous bath of Marie
Czewertinoska, the beautiful mistress
of Alexander l. of Russia. who plunged
herself every morning into the con-
tents of a cask of Malaga wine, after
which ceremony the silver tub was
emptied and the wine sold. 1t seems
that such n bath is simply perfect as
skin feeder.
Marie Antoinettcs bath, which was
prescribed by her doctor, was a COM
pound of aromatic herbs mixed with IL
handful of salt She took it cold in
summer and tepid in winter Later on
Nine. Tallien had brought every morn
ing to her house twenty pounds of
strawberries and two pounds of rasp-
berries. which We're mashed in her
bath of warm milk and water. An
other preparation used by Eastern
women is composed of barley, rice,
borrage. thyme and marjoram boiled
together and tnen thrown into the
water.

himself face to face with u huge Wild

of blood from the game in Ills pouch.
One barrel of Ills gun was empty, inc

had hardly expected to kill the cat

Dropping his gun In the path the
hunter ran to where his unexpected

that he had made a serious mistake.

sPEcTAcULAR CARNIVAL.
Business Firms Represented in
Tableau by Beauteous and
BeWitch1ng Maidens.

On Wednesday and Thursday even
lug last, there was conducted at the
City Opera House, grand Spectacular
Carnival of Merchants. under the aus
pices of the ladies of ST. James Luth-
eran Church. The character of the
performance was quite unique and
proved a source of great pleasure to
those who witnessed it. Fifty young
ladies, representing as many business
houses in this city, participated in
stage pictures, character sketches, ana
all finally in one dazzling, moving tab
leau. The affair was under the man
agement of Prof. Fluke, who makes
this line a speciality. The young ladies
who took part were young, vivacious
and pretty, and their beauty was
greatly enhanced by gorgeous cos
tunes and stage settings. Miss Tinna
Wachter represented the CITIZEN in
very pretty stage picture, her cos
tune beng especially novel and be-
coming. A prize of $3.50 in gold was
awarded last night to the young lady
who best represented her firm, but we
went to press before the selection was
made. The receipts were very graft
flying.

Business In the South at q Stand
still

The business revival so generally
predicted has not yet put in an ap-
pearance Merchants are almost afraid
to sell to their customers, and those
WHO do sell, are unable to make coilec-
tions for the goods sold. Small man
ufacturers without capital, are COM
PEELED to submit to eXnrbitant de-
mands, and as customers are hard to
make. they either go to the wall or
simply proloug their agony. Many
are brave enough To accept the situa-
ton and make the best out of bad
bargain; meet the losses at once is of
ten done and stop short iu the busi-
ness. One of our fellow-townsmen,
Mr.. &. III. Eckstein, finds there is
a general depression in business
throughout the South. The statesmen
are sometimes able to make small sales,
but it is almost impossible to make col
lections. Mr.. Eckstein will most likely
give up business in North Carolina
and return to old Frederick. It would
take man with large amount of cap
ital to run a business on this plan.
The many friends of Mr.. Eckstein will
be glad to welcome him back to his old
