STATE PRESS.

The Atlanta Journal presents a
symposium on THE Rod in the Public
Schools" The old time teachers held
with Solomon, that the child would be
spoiled if the rod was spared, and they
seldom erred in that direction. Many
modern p~edagogues dispense altogether
with it's use, and contend that discip-
other agencies. The correct practice
probably lies between the two.-Ra-
leigh News and Observer.
AS sOOn as the final distribution Of
offices is over, Mr.. Mckinley is going
to find out that he is not SO popular
with his party as appearances would
indicate. His stand on the civil SER
vice has already enraged the great
mass of republicans, but they are
afraid, just yet, to give expression to
their feelings. When the wOr of Civ
ing out the offices is completed, though,
listen for the howl. Another thing that
has brought Mr.. Mckinley into dis
favor with his party is his stand
against old office holders. Those who
have held office once. have held it
enough, he says.-Charlotte Observer.
Having enjoyed for three years the
concealed advantage of the Wilson bill,
our New England fellow citizens are
aghast, therefore, at the proposition
to restore the Did Mckinley system,
whose exOrbitant rates brought pro-
lection into such disrepute under Har-
risOn's administration; and so We have
a sign Of revolt in Mondays proceed
ings in the house.-Fayetteville Obser-
yer.
We may expect to witness some more
fits of hysteria now, and hear some
more shrieks about government by in
junction, on account of the restraining
order issued by Judge SimontOn, of the
United States circuit court, to prevent
Governor Russell carrying into effect
the acts Of the legislature which give
him and other scheming politicians the
control of the Atlantic and North Car
olina railroad. Mr.. w. r. Tucker, Of
Raleigh, whose good money 70 a large
amount is invested in this property,
felt that his interests would not be
served by turning over this road to a
set of scurvy politicians, who have no
interest in it except for the money and
the political capital they can make
out of it. and he proceeded to protect
his rights by securing this restraining
order from Judge SimontOn. He prob
ably won't mind the clamor about
government by injunction if he can
ave his money, and, for our part, We
bid him hail and God speed, since in
taking care of himself, he will be TAX
ing care of the states interests as well.
The Observer INDUCES the hope that
when Judge Simonton hears the argu-
ment in the case at Greensboro on the
9Th, he will make the injunction per-
petual. We are of those who insisted
after his election that Russell should
not be prejudged, but judged by his
acts n given credit for all his good
deeds. These, however, have been too
few to make it worth while to take
accoun of them, and il is seen that
he can be baked in any Of
his undertakings the public interest will
be promoted.-Charlotte Observer.

HOW TO CARE FOR LAMPS.

cheerful aspect to the living room is
the lamp, and the most fastidious lady
can attend to them without fear of dis
agreeable odOrs left on her hands by
warm water and soap and few drops
of eau de cologne.
The following suggestions may be a
trifle homely but they are certainly
practical. no begin with: Lamp Chin
neys should not BE- washed but should be
cleaned with a cloth dipped in alcohol
If you want to keep lampwicks from
smoking soak them in strong vinegar and
dry thoroughly before using.
An excellent method of cleaning lamp
burners is to take an ounce of washing
soda and dissolve it in quart OF RAIN
water. In this boil the lamp burners
for ten minutes, after which take cot
ton cloth and wipe them of. they VIII
be as good as new This should be done
which collects naturally. Lle brass
trimmings of a lamp can be prevented
from furnishing by rubbing them with
salt mOiStened with q little vinegar.
Lamp chimneyS may be rendered dur
able by placing them in a saucepan of
cold water and gradually bringing 1t TO
the chimneys 90 not touch eacn other
during the bub0ling uD of the liquid.
Another method is to put them into
ver.- hot oven and then let them cool
gradually.
To economic lampwicks may be worth
while if one uses many lamps. 1t is
simple enough to do this by darning the
end of the old wick to the new one.
Wicks should always be as long as pos
sible. and the lamps kept as full as pos
sible, without running over.
When next you trim your lamp, place
a lump of camphor in the oil receDta-
Gle. This will prevent unpleasant smells
and improve the Illuminating power.
Camphor is soluble and must be renewed
from time to time. Try these simple rules
and YOU will find a reward in q brilliant
and steady light.

A CABBAGE CENTERPlECE.

A novel and inexpensive decoration
for the dinner table was evolved by an
ingenious woman seeking to combine
the maximum of effect with the mini
mum of expense. The result was so
charming that she resolved to make
the idea public for the benefit of other
hOusekeepers similarly situated. Here
it is:
Take a head of cabbage, one that has
been picked too late is best, for the
leaves open better then and are apt to
be slightly curled. Lay the cabbage on
fiat plate or salver and press the
leaves down and open with your hand,
firmly but gently, SO as not to break
them off When they all lie out flat
stab the firm yellow heart through
several times with a sharp knife, until
it's outlines are lost, and then place
flowers at random all over the cab
bage.
Roses are prettiest, but any flower
which has a firm. stiff stem, capable Of
holding the blossom upright will do.
Press the stems down through the
leaves, and put in sufficient green to
vary prettily. The outer leaves of the
cabbage, the only ones to be seen
when the flowers are in, form a charm
ing background, far prettier than any
basket.
Roses are best for all seasons, but
autumn offers some charming Varia-
tons The brilliant scarlet berries of
the mountain ash, or red thorn, min
gled with the deep, rich green of feath-
cry asparagus, make a delicious color
symphony most appropriate to the sea-
son. G. L COLBRON.

gracefully at the foot Such a. moreen
skjrt stands the hardest wear and is
trimmed usually with fiounces of its
own goods or plaid silk.
A word should also be said in COM
mendation of a new and charming wool
and cotton crepe interviewer with gold
and silk threads. Its highly appropri-
ate name is Zenana cloth Its sur
face web OF silt and colored threads on
the cream background shows out in
good semi oriental designs and sug-
gests this as a capital fabric for the
atre waists and tea gowns.
There is no secret in telling that it
sells for q, trifie over half a dollar
gard, and combines delightfully."- with
velvets of all shades as collars and Cir
dies. The making of the new velvet col
lar, however, calls for a change of ar
rangement. The prettiest hook round
the throat to the left of the chin, are
held very high by whalebone inserted
on the inside and, where the conjunc-
ton is made q sWalloWtail, three-co
nered or arrow head shaped point of
velvet must jut out conspicuously.
A bunch of violets, not big bunch
but with plenty of green leaves, and
planted directly behind the left ear, is
the very latest fancy in head dressing.
