The Tailor Gown.

It is certain, says a New York fash
ion writer, that no matter how elabo-
rately the toilets of ceremony or how
tastefully the hands--ne demidress or
house gowns may be trimmed all su-
perfuous garnitures will be kept from
the stylish and useful tailor gown. On
French models are noticed many attract
i've and charming little additions to
the bodice, with likewise fanciful touch
es to the sleeves, but the general effect
of a smart, elegant tailor gown remains,
as in the initial season of it's vogue, a
simple, perfectly fitted, perfectly hung
model, complete in every detail and
bearing the unmistakable impress of
q master hand in its entire construction
and finish.
HOW to Make White Mountain CAKE.
Four eggs. Q cups sugar, half cup
butter, cup milk and teaspoonfuls
of good baking powder. Make the dark
part by using the yolks of the eggs and
half of above mixture, using burned

light part use the whites of eggs and
half of mixture with vanilla to flavor.
How to Build Fire.
First pull the andirons three or four
inches toward the front and place
large, heavy stick at the back - our
grandfathers would call it backlog
Then kindle your fire. When the heavy
stick or backlog is well heated and
has commenced to burn, draw it for
ward and place another at the back. In
doing this most of the blaze is kept on
the front side and full benefit of the
wood burned received.

The Bishop and the Briton.

In speaking of his recent visit to Eng.
land Bishop Nelson of Georgia says:
81 saw the naval review, which was
really very fine. An Englishman said to
me, What do you think of our navy?'
why, it is splendid, replied.
Well, do you think we could do
anything in case of war with the Unit
ed States?'
"'But there is not going to be any
war, I replied.
Yes, but if there should be? Oh,
you know we could whip you.
"'Well, I suppose you could I re-
Joined. You know you did it in 1910,
and then whipped us fearfully in 1912,
SO suppose you could do it now.

him. New York Tribune.

Those who practice manicure will tell
you that in a short three months an ap-
probable difference can be given to the
shape of the nails if they be attended to
regularly and systematically. To obtain
filbert shaped nails the hard skin that
surrounds the base must be pushed
down, but this must never be done un-

of soap Then the cuticle will be found
SO soft and elastic that all that is neces-
sary is to take an old silk handkerchief
and press the skin of each nail back sep
arately and afterward, by means or
bone or ivory point, the skin must be
pressed down at the side of each nail.
The ivory or bone instrument must be
inserted at the center of the half moon,
or wherever the half moon should be,
and drawn out at the top edge of the
| nail If this be done once day, the
nail will quickly acquire the much ad-

After cutting the edges of the nail 1t
should be filed in a gentle curve, fol-
. lowing the outline of the finger end.

Preparing for the Reunion.

Atlanta Constitution.
In answer to the call of General G
A Evans, large number of citizens
met yesterday and resolved upon
means to make the Dinth annual re
union of the Confederate Survivors
Association the grandest which has
ever been held.
The spirit which animated those
who attended the mt citing, many OF
them men who bore scars 10 that
great conflict, was one which proved
that their hearts were in the work
and that they intended making the
coming reunion one which should be
epochal in It's character, and one
which should fittingly commemorate
the great cause for which these men
fought and the valor of those who
wore the gray.

How to Fatten Poultry For Market.

Breeders of large fiocks have many
birds to be disposed of for table use. All
these ''culls" must be got rid of to the
best advantage, because it is not desira-
BILE to carry them over for future propa-
cation and it is not profitable to feed
them after they have attained thei,
growth.
Remove all the imperfeotly feathered
or i'll shaped cockerels from among
their mates. Place them, 10 or 20 to-
gether, IN a closed coop that is clean
and comfortable for them to eat and
rest in without crowding each other
Give them fresh water to drink, with q
little cayenne pepper thrown into it
two or three times a week, and feed
them all they will eat up clean three
times day, upon boiled corn and wheat
meal with potatoes Ga little salted), one
part of each into which while hot stir Q
pound of common lard, beef, tallow OF
chambers scraps perfectly sweet, mind
to or quarts of the mash
Feed this out when warm, having s
basin of coarse gravel handy, which
they will eat all they need of, to assist
digestion. Occasionally mix a little
powdered charcoal in this soft food
(Which latter is an excellent purifier
and guard against the souring of their
food in the crop), and in two or three
weeks your birds will be at their best.
Kill, dress and market them, and thus
make the wisest DISPOSAL you can of al
your snrnlns or undesirable fowls

Walters First Dip.

Walter T. was years old. He never
had seen the ocean. We were to spend
the summer at the seaside, and Walter
had new bathing suit. Every boy in
the block was invited into the house to
see him try it on, and one day we dis
covered him in the bathtub surrounded
by an admiring group of juveniles, to
whom he was discoursing about how he
would dive from the end of the iron
pier when he reached the ocean When
the young man. however, saw the ocean,
with the great waves rolling on the
beach, he could not be induced to go
near it and positively refused to put on
his bathing suit
One day his father offered him SO
cents if he would put on his suit and
get wet all over once. He wanted the
money very much, SO he finally consent
ed. Clasping his arms around his ia
theirs neck like wise, the great under
taking was begun. After much shiver-
ing and trembling he was wet about
two inches above his ankles, when he
exclaimed, Papa, I-guess-I-will-

The forcible entry into the office by
the new railroad commissioners, at
the instance OF the Governor, after it
was we'll known that a writ of error
had been granted to the Supreme
Court of the United States was a
case of indecent haste. The Gov
ernor's action in the matter seems to
be properly characterized as "revolu-
tionary," but whether it is so or not,
it will appear to the ordinary mind
phatically than the average, should

Woman. Opportunity abroad.

Germany = supposed to be land
where women have small opportunity
to earn money III competition with men.
The dea of the German woman as man
rodden, helpless and oppressed has be-
come SO general that woman suffragists
regard her usually as an illustration of
all that IS evil in masculine methods of
conducting government and industry.
Yet the last industrial and professional
census of the German empire shows that
the number of self supporting German
women is already in the millions and is
growing rapidly-so rapidly, indeed, as
to provoke the question, eff this con-
tinues, what can be done with the
men?''
Germany has 26, 361, 125 women. of
whom l, 313, 954 are in domestic service
and 1894, 400 support themselves by
industrial and professional labor. Since
1882 the number of self supporting wo
men in the empire has increased by
more than l, 900, 900. To be sure, this
whole increase would not be regarded
universally as sign of woman's prog
ress. Some Americans might regard it
as quite the reverse. For instance, in
the last 16 years 218, 245 women have
J replaced 1872, 049 men as agricultural
workers, accepting such low wages as
to make the change profitable to the en-
ployers. Just what the duties of these
women in agriculture are the census
does not state. A person who has lived
in rural Germany and seen women
hitched before the plows, side by side
with cows, or has observed their anna
zonian activity in the harvest fields can
imagine, however, that a composite pic
ture of the ais, 245 at their tasks would
not please Sorosis or the w. G. T. U.
All in all, the number of German
male workers has increased 39.8 per
cent in the last 16 years, while that of
the German female workers has increas-
ed 80 per cent. AS already indicated,
only part of these women workers are
self supporting, the rest of them mere
ly contributing to the family purses, to
which brothers and fathers also give
their share. In the whole empire but
two classes of employment have re-
manned closed to the German woman.
One is the artisan class, from which
custom, not law, has barred her. The
other is the class of high government
officials Otherwise the world of bust
ness and industry is open to the Ger
man woman.-New York Sun.

SAVED BY THE COURT.
As Harsh q Law as Ever Went on the
Statute Books.

Statute Books.
Charlotte Observer
We must do the Supreme Court of
North Carolina the Justice to say
that it has saved the people a good
many hardships which they would
otherwise have suffered at the hands
of fusion Legislatures 1t saved
them in the ma after of the assignment
act and now it steps in and declares
unconstitutional the clause OF the
revenue act of the last Legislature
which provides imprisonment for
taxes These decisions do not, how
ever, help the case of these Legisla-
tures-it is neither their fault nor to
heir credit that both of these acts
are not in full force and effect. And
the fact remains as to the revenue
act, and ought to he remembered,
that by reason of the terror which it
inspired many people have been hard
put to it and have paid their taxes
at the expense of not only Christmas
extras but comm on comforts to their
families. 1t was as harsh a law as
ever went on the States statute
books and the threat of it's execution
,, has occasioned no little distress
throughout the State If it be
| pleaded for it either that the Legisla
ture did not realize its full import, or
that it has, after all, turned out to
be unconstitutional and SO no harm

answer is that Legislatu res should
realize the import of bills which they
enact into law, and hat as to such
