To the State Herald:

TaIladega, April 9.
Talladega county has no convention
this year. 1t is entitled to ten delegates
in the state convention and the people
vote for the candidate for governor in a
straight primary all over the county.
On Wednesday, the 18th instant, the
friends of the successful candidate for
governor will have a mass meeting and
select the delegates to the state conyen-
ton. Johnston will carry every pre-
cinct in the county, and in the entire
county his majority will be not less
than to 1, and In my judgment will be
much more.

PIN HISTORY.
The Useful Articles Were Known In Early
Times TO Egyptians.

Times TO Egyptians.
Pins are, AS the saying goes, as old as
the hills. In some form OF another they
have been i'll existence ever since our
first parents clothed themselves in fig
leaves, which grew wild i'll the garden
CT Eden. As matter Of fact. pins claim
very high antiquity, the earliest form
being the natural thorn, which is still
used TO some extent by the peasant
women OF upper Egypt. In prehistoric
times pins Were also made of the small
bones OF fish and animals
Among the remains Of the lake dwell
ers Of Europe haze been found bronze
pins and bronze brooches, in which the
pins form the prominent feature, many
of which are highly ornamental and
very beautiful. A few copper and one
iron pin have also been found 1t is es-
timated that 10, 900 pins have been col
lectcd at the lacustrine station of Swift
| zerland alone. A few of these have iou-
BILE stems and were probably used as
hairpins. There have been found at
| Peschiere pins which arc exactly the
same i'll form as the safety pins Of the
| present time. Among the single stem
pins are many ingenious devices fol-
preventing the spike from passing en-.
tirely through the cloth or other ma
terial it is used for fastening together.
Many of them are so formed that they
are thicker in some places than in 9th
ers. A large number, both of bone and
bronze, had the head formed of loos,
ring passed through an eye in the pin
A few of them have the appearance o.
the scarfpin now i'll use. In Egypt pin.
with gold heads have been discovered
while i'll ancient Rome bronze pins ant

have been discovered among relics O

He Enioyed 1t.

Old johnson was very much given to
"tippling, not wisely but too well,
and would spend all his spare time at
his favorite pub, says Spare Moments.
His house WAS so situated that it was
necessary for him to go through the
churchyard to reach it. One night, be.
ing bit fuller than usual, he managed
to fall into a newly made grave. He fell
without hurting himself. and being tired
went off to sleep. When he awoke the
next morning, he couldn't make out
where he got to, but after struggle
managed to reach the top of the grave
and look around.
A broad grin spread over his face as
he muttered to himself:
Dear, dear, it's resurrection day,
and I'm up Grst."

CARE OF ssos AND seoD,Na.
A Few Shrewd Observations - IN Every
day Topic.


day Topic.
There is @ vast difference in the way
different housekeepers manage and care
for their beds Some of them fully be-
lieve in the fresh air theory and during
pleasant weather, as soon as their toilet
is made, up go the bedroom windows
and the pillows are laid upon the sill
for an airing; the bedclothing, if not
removed and thrown on q chair, is
turned down over the foot of the bed.
If feather bed is used, that is also well
shaken up and left until the bed is
again made up, sometimes in the fore
noon. This management is in strong
contrast to the usual plan Of never
touching a slept in bed until it is again
prepared for the sleeper, yet in the item
, Of health there is perhaps no discernibls
difference.
The children living in homes Of
squalor and wretchodness. whose bed.
=. ding is perhaps not changed once a
month, are quite as healthy and cheer
full as those who sleep in bed linen
changed daily. The Chinaman who
sleeps on his pillow of wood is quite as
strong and usually less nervous than
the "Mellican man" who rests his head
! upon downy pillows. However, this is
| no excuse why beds should not receive
proper care and thorough airing fire.
qucnily, if not daily. 1t is certainly 1,
matter of habit, and the daughters usu-
| ally in this line follow the practice in
| culcated by their mothers.
Bcdclothes that are stored away
| should be aired several times each year,
as moths and the carpet bug will raise
sad havoc with them if not properly at
tended to. Camphor gum or fine tobacco
| scattered between each fold will keer
out the former, but cannot be depended
upon as a panacea for the carpet bug.
If mice are known to be about the prem.
ises, traps should he properly baited and
placed near their haunts, as at nesting
time they will riddle bedding to make
q soft nest. A close fitting chest o,
trunk makes the safest storing place fol

Where Circulation 1. Feeble.t.

Those who lead sedentary life find
the circulation feeblest about the nose.
lips and temples, and those parts Of the
face should be energetically kneaded
several times a day. When the pores
become distended, the fine, invisible
dust in the air enters and clogs and
blackens them. Mere ordinary face
washing. even when warm water and
soap are used, is not sufficient to remove
the dirt in the pores. but the vigorou.
acid of the lemon will cleanse and carry
of all such unsightly blemishes.
