nauIa Motion Ansct. CbiIdren,.. !.

DIR. John Madison Taylor, in an
article on s'Children of Feeble Resist
ance; Their Care and Management, "
published in the Medical Times and
Hospital Gazette, December 10. 1896,
says that it is very unwise to submit
babies to rapid journeys and the look
ing out of windows at swiftly passing
objects while flying along. He says
that he has seen migraine develop ap-
parently through the custom of giving
small children exercise in carriage
with a pair of fast horses every day.
Certain instances of profound distur-
bance have been caused by this means,
and it is reasonable to infer that
continuance of such measures may
produce lasting damage upon so deli
cate an organ as the eye, and the
whole sensitive organism is thus i'm
periled. It is also unwise to encour-
age child to sleep while being driven
about The motion is both regular
and subject to sudden Irregularities.
The persistence of one kind of mo-
ton up and down is bad, not only pro-
ducing unsound sleep, but keeping up
a molecular agitation which has little
to recommend it. If the infant be suf-
fciently old to sit up or be held up
by the nurse, strain is put upon the
spinal column. Thus continuous mild
conclusions are administered to the
brain and spinal cord; the eye is put
upon a strain, thus acting directly
upon the brain; an element of excite
ment is introduced, and physiological
irritability is the probable result

wedding a Cotton Field.

It is told of Florida farmer not
far from Tallahassee that he has de-
vised an ingenious scheme by which
he has relegated the hoe and the cot
ton sweep to desuetude. The cotton
planter it is said, know that geese
will not touch the cotton plant, but
like very much the tender grass that
is the bane of the cotton patch. This
farmer noticed that his geese kept
part of his patch free from grass, but
wouldn't go near other parts Of it, and
he found that they went only where
there was drinking water. He hit
upon the idea of equipping each goose
with a CORD, which he filed with water
and cut slit in, so that any one
goose might drink from this little
trough suspended from the neck of
its fellow. Then he turned the geese
loose in his cotton field, and they
cleared it of all grass.

This query on my mirror hung:
''When Is woman old?"
1t clings to me and long has clunS,
The answer must be told.
All, some are old before half way,
And some are never old,
For these but laugh life'S care away,
While those both fret and scold.
And yet it is no easy task,
However we'll controlled,
To answer one, if she should Gsk,
"When is woman old2"
The graceful ones are all still young,
And those alone are told
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold.
The oldest ones of all the old
Are those who would look young,
For they will always fret and scold
When ages sign is hung.
AS long as women cling to youth
And disregard their age
They never can be old, forsooth,
Their youth fills up the page.
Yes, some are old before their time
Old age usurps their youth
And some are young beyond their prime
Unless they hide the truth.

The Sponge Bath.

While the great majority of women
have neither the facilities nor the
time to take full bath every day,
nearly oil can take sponge bath,
which is oil that is necessary for clean
illness. A basin, sponge and cork
mat comprise the essentials, and five
minutes application day will keep
the pores of the skin open and the
body in healthy condition. Some
people require more bathing than
others. Brunettes, as class, and fat
people in particular, are apt to need
more baths and lotions to dispel the
secretions and perspiration that defile
the skin. In order to live up to the
ideal, woman should be exquisitely
and habitually clean, and rather over
step than fall short of the hygienic
standard It is advisable to be sus-
picious of neatness, if necessary, in
order to perfect 1.-THE Ledger.

oueenly Courtesy to a Statue.

Here is new story about Queen
Victoria: 1t was suggested to her that
Queen Anne's statue, opposite St.
Paul's, should be removed for the ju-
bilee thanksgiving services, in ord6
that the view might not be obstructed.
But Her Majesty refused to sanction
the proposal 'I am unwilling to al.
low the statue to be displaced" the
Queen is said to have remarked. sH
I permit it, some one may consider ii
a justification for removing my statue
some day on a similar occasion. -

Jelly From Coal.

In Perthshire lately, workmen en-
gagged in cutting some deep drainage
trenches dug into bed of old peat
some feet below the surface. At the
bottom of this was layer six inches
thick OF kind of tough, black jelly.
Some of it was thrown out, and soon
dried in the sun, when it was found to
have hardened into brittle substance
not unlike anthracite coal. It burned
with a clear, bright flame, and left an
ash quite like ordinary coal. All coal
has been peat at one time or another,
and here it is supposed we have caught
it in the actual process of transforma-
ton.

The Return of Steel.

Steel ornaments promise to become
as popular as they were several years
ago. Fortunate is the woman who has
the habit of saving things, for she can
take out her steel ornaments of any
description, don them and rest assured
that she is doing the correct thing.
Steel combs are much worn and look
well against either dark or light hair.
Velvet bands for the neck. thickly
sewed with steel, are alsoin high favor.

very finest spinning rarely exceeds
three hundred hanks to the pound,
while in the very coarsest there is

A Dog Whips an Alligator.

That dog may best an alligator
appears by the experience of the Hon.
D. B. Stuart, of Victoria, Fla. His
dog was swimming in lake there,

The dog started, but the alligator was

dog came up unharmed, and the alli-

Fashion Notes.


The sunshade with the hinge in the
handle is again popular. ~~-,'
Waists or blouses of plaid silk are
worn with blazer or jackets of dark
| cloth.
For travelling gowns select materials
which are strong and durable and
which are not easily rumpled by rough
usage.
Linen suitings are again at the fore,
and will doubtless be as popular as last
season for the perennial skirt and
costumes.
Norfolk jackets are worn. Some of
them have belts that slip underneath
the plaits and fasten with a jeweled
buckle at one side.
Velvet ribbon in regular lattice
work to cover loose vest, the lower
part of sleeves, collar and skirt pan
els is quite French fad.
A close fitting basque waist of velvet
has one wide lapel faced with cloth in
contrasting color. The belt, collar
and cuffs are of the light cloth.
Semi lawn or linen
promises to be great favorite for
dressy costumes, as they admit of
trimming being used with great effect.
Among the latest color combinations
are orange and light tan, mauve and
mastic, blue and orange, and brown
or golden tan with very pinkish law
ender.
For railway travel simple ulster
or dust coat of alpaca or silk, in de-
sign of pinhead points, is the most
serviceable and stylish of all gar
ments.

Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often so acute,
that epoor sufferer becomes, almost,
frenzied with the intensity of the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
effectually cure neuralgia, so there
is no reason why moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1896 Main ST., Evansville, Ind, writes:
"My wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
ton Oil, she has not had a spell. l
think lis the best liniment l have ever
tried, and I would not be without
bottle of it in the house. l had the

that Salvation Oil did me more good
than any other remedy" Salvation

eigh pays as much for cotton as other
towns similarly located, the idea that
there is anything like combination on
the part of the buyers to keep down or
control the price would not seem TO
he well founded. This idea, perhaps,
comes from the fact that the first bid
is hardly ever raised. and this is very
much as Mr.. A. A. Thompson says
The cotton that is coming in now is
practically all the same grade, and if Il
simmer wants any cotton he knows that
he lust as we'll bid the top of the mar
ket or his competitor will come along
and bid the top and take it from him.
For this reason there is but little contest
IN the bidding 1t is to be presumed that
The weighers weigh the cotton correctly,
unless their judment in deducting for
wet or other causes is at fault There
could possibly be no cause for their do
ing otherwise, but there are ways by
which they can make themselves Of
fensive to the planters and thereby in
lure Raleigh as a cotton market. One OF
these ways is their action towards Mr..
Rand and Mr.. Jewell and many others, If
reports are true. No such complaint has
ever been made against cotton weigher
in Raleigh before, and we have had Of
fetal weighers here for quarter of II
century. 1t costs nothing to be courtc-
GUS and but little to be accommodating.
but it will cost the town much business
for these weighers to treat its patrons
with arrogance or even Indifference.
There is no reason for it, no excuse for
it, and the positions that these men have
secured will not shield them from just
criticism if they use these positions to
the hurt of the town and community.
We hope that any seeming Indifference
or discourtesy on their part has been
without intention, and that we may not
again hear these complaint from the
farmers who trade in Raleigh.

MUCH interest is being manifested in the
approaching February election, and the in
dications are that the contests in the various
wards will be unusually spirited. There are
quite number of candidates seeking the
various nominations both for borough and
ward Offices The only contest for the
former, so far as the Citizens party is con-
cerned, is for Chief Burgess The large
number Of candidates for this most i'm
portant executive position should afford the
Citizens party an opportunity to nominate .
strong candidate, one who will discharge the
duties thereof without fear or favor. Shen-
audoah has been sadly i'm need Of just such
person as the Chief Executive Being the
largest town in the county, with a three-years'
term, there is no good reason why the man
elected to this position should not be chosen
solely upon his ability aud fitness to occupy
the chief executive office Of the borough If
wise nominations are made by both parties
there need be little fear of the result.
Councilman A. d. Gable is the only candi-
date announced for Receiver of Taxes James
AZ. Morgan having Withdrawn from the con
TEST. There are no announcements made for
either Borough Auditor or High Constable
For Borough Justice the nominations Of ex-
squires Williams and Denger are generally
conceded. Quite an array of candidates are
mentioned in various wards for Council and
School Board. Especially ls it desirable to
have good men as members Of the
two legislative bodies Of the bor-
ouRh. 1t is Of vital Importance to have
representative in these bodies who not only
have 2 pecuniary interest in having econom-
ical aud wise government but whose reputa-
tion for integrity and intelligence ars nnim-
peaohsble, and whose public spiritedness viii
be a guarantee that their duties will be per
formed in an honest and acceptable manner
There are plenty such men, and they are the
ones who should be sci ected. This can be
enectually done in only one way, and that is
by full attendanos at the primaries. The
first requisite 10 good government is honest
and faithful public servants, aud the only
way to obtain the latter is in securing their
nomination at the primaries.

A CRUEL coNsPIRAcY


Mrs. Carows Narrow Escape from Con.
viction for Murder.
YOKOHAMA, Jan. 12-Greut interest has
been taken here i'm the trial of Mrs Carow,
n prominent society lady, on the charge OF
poisoning her husband with arsenic, in a
manner similar to that said TO have been
followed by Mrs. Florence Maybrick, now
undergoing "a sentence of imprisonment
for life in England Mr. Corew was taken
in on Oct 10 last and diod on Oct 90 Tho
inquest certified that he died of arsenic
poisoning and a verdict of murder was
rendered against some unknown person.
At the preliminary inquiry held in the
British consular court here, the evidence
showed that Mrs Carow made large pur-
chases of arsenic, the use Of which, she
said. was an old time habit of her hus'
band, Throughout the proceedings there
were references To ~ mysterious yelled wo-
man, aud there was considerable excite
ment here when it became known that
Mary Jacob, the governess of the Carew
family, was arrested on Sunday, and isre.
ported to have confessed to committing
the murder for which Mrs. Carew has
been on trial since Jan o.
All the efforts of the authorities failed
TO locate the mysterious vciled women,
who is now baievcd to he no other than
Mary Jacob, the rJyerness Of the family,
although attempts were made TO show
that the "veil,d women IN ght have been

lowed soon after the inquest and pieces
Of paper, said to have been picked up by
the goyerness, figured prominently in the
preliminary inquiry before the British
consular court These pieces Of paper,
when seUeI together, seemed to furnish
the missing links in the chain Of evidence
which was slowly being drawn around
Mrs Carew.
II the report that Mary Jacob has con-
fessed turns out to be correct it will prob
ably be demonstrated that the whole affair
was the work of the governess and that in
addition to poisoning Mr.. Carew she Graf
tily drew about his widow the chain Of
circumstantial evidence which, seemingly,
would have led to her conviction of muir
dering her husband
