Senators directly to the people as we can
ever come until the Constitution is

Republican politicians are now talk
ing Of Pearson as their next candidate
for governor.
Pearson, they say. is spelling for the
fight, and they see no reason why he
should not be allowed to make it,
From the very first, apparently with
this end in view, he has lead the attack
ON the amendment. To begin with,
they say he organized the movement
which resulted in the purchase Of the
Asheyille Gazette's editorial columns
Then he followed suit with a long
open letter against the amendment
since that he has been active in or
ganizing the opposition to it in every
way THAT he thought would assist in its
defeat

While the regiments from all over
the country were gathering at Chick
amauga the brass buttons of the SOL
diers' uniforms were in great demand.
Every one was trying to buy them or
coax them from the soldiers, but it was
little girl who struck upon plan
of getting together a collection that
represented every regiment in camp.
She used to sell lemonade to the SOL
diers, and then when they offered to
pay her she would insist in a charming
way for buttons in place of money. She
was very pretty little girl, and there
were great many soldiers who had
to pin their uniforms together on ac-
count of this clever little lady.

A FELLOWS LOVE.
BY HENRY ". NESFIfLD.

BY HENRY ". NESFlELD.

On the 18th of July, IS. Mr.. Hughes
gave one of his eolemn dinner parties.
AS usual. the coins were displayed
after dinner, cDd the Old gentleman
held forth with more than his ordinary
zeal upon their history, value and
merit.
After the quests had taken their de-
parture, Luke. the butler, assisted by
Edward Bartlett, removed the cases,
under Mr.. Hughes supervision, and
placed them in the cabinets in the IL
brary where they were ordinarily kept.
1t was supposed that Mr.. Hughes did
not retire until long after midnight.
He was in the habit OF sitting up late
and iottng down the occurrences of
the day, and writing out orders for the
servants to carry out on the following
morning.
He was heard by the cook to be
moving about downstairs after the
clock struck one; and the under-house-
maid, Anne D0dson, declared in her
evidence that she heard her master
! come upstairs and go into his bed
room just as the great hall clock
chimed the quarters after one.
This witness moreover declared that
she was suffering from toothache on
that night and could get no rest, so
she was trying to read herself to
sleep. Hearing Mr.. Hughes step on
the stairs, she looked at her watch and
was astonished to find that it was SO
| late. Soon afterwards the clock below
struck two, and this fact impressed the
! time upon her mind.

Some extremely smart leather belts,
which threaten the immediate retire
ment of last seasons assortment, have
made their appearance. They are sot
particularly novel in the materials Of
which they are made, nor are the
buckles especially unusual. The novel
ty is in the pretty little woven leather
edge. The belt, of kid, patent leather
or plain grain leather, is made quite
narrow, and very narrow strip Of
the same leather is knotted in sort
of crochet stitch all along each edge.
This finish makes a variety in the
leather belts, in black, white or brown,
not spelling the severe tailor finish of
the costume, but adding to it new
touch of character.
For use with ribbon belts there is a
new style of belt pin with jewels to
match the cuff links and studs. These
are clasp pins, strong enough to hold
skirt and waist together.

now that fashion has degreed that it

Many an otherwise perfect apartment
has been spoiled by the inartistic ar

aid in overcoming this is mirror,
made the exact width of the piano, and
placed fiat against its back. On each
side narrow curtains may be placed,
and the mirror used either as a re-

and glass. Palms may be prettily ar
ranged at the foot, to be repeated in

HOW TO MANICURE.
1t Ia Very Easy tn DO When You

1t Ia Very Easy tn DO When You
Know How.
Get a small bowl or finger glass and
dissolve therein a small piece of pure
soap in some hot water, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Then soak the
finger tips for five minutes, wipe dry
and then with knife or ivory mani
cure implement gently loosen the
layer Of skin around the root Of the
nail, so that it can be trimmed off
with cuticle scissors Especially curved
scissors for the naiD, and press the
skin well back to distinctly show the
half-moon or onyx" This may not
be possible at once, when the nails
have been neglected. Still, two or
three manicure treatments will show q
marked improvement. With the ivory
implement remove any dirt from un-
der the nails. Trim them oval shape
with cuticle scissors, rub down any un-
evenness with prepared toilet emery
paper, then apply the nail powder with
a chamois polisher. Rinse the nails
in warm water, wipe well and rub the
nails again with polisher or with the
palm of the hand, and do this after
washing, which will serve to keep
them polished for week. If the nails
are brittle and dry rub little vaseline
over them each night.
Perfect cleanliness is the greatest
adjunct to beauty, but, for all that, do
not wash your hands too often. Wash
ed seldom but thoroughly, they will
keep in far nicer condition than II
they were continuously being "rinsed,"
as it were, which simply serves to
grind the dirt into the pores. When
gloves are worn at night be careful
that they are perfectly clean inside,
otherwise the CRIME and dirt are abb
sorbed by the overheated glands and
the effect is opposite from what was
desired.
