Household Hints.

A soft corn can be cured by placing a
tuft of cotton wool, saturated with olive
Oil, between the toes and renewing it everv
day. The corn will very soon disappear.
To clean sewing machines, cover all the
bearings with kerosene OIL work the ma
chine quickly for a few minutes, then
thoroughly rub all the oil off with rags,
and apply machine oil to the parts which
need oilng.
To brighten and clean windows, put a
teacupful of ammonia to every pailful of
tepid water, wash with sponge or soft
rag, then dry with a clean cloth, and
polish with leather or a silk handker-
chief.
If small hook is screwed on the under
side of the dining table at each corner and
loops sewed on the corners of the felt un-
dercloth, it will be found a convenient
means of adjusting its length when the
table needs to be made smaller.
Did you ever suffer torment from shoe
tight in one spot? Here is a remedy for
it. Apply sweet oil to the stockings
where the rub comes. 1t is better than
applying it to the boot, because it softens
the inside of the boot, where it is needed,
instead of the outside.

The residents of one of the suburbs of
Paterson, n. j., seem to have been victim
lied very adroitly by Swedish laborer,
who prophesied a caterpillar crop of I'M
usual dimensions and offered to keep them
away for a consideration. His prophecies
were at first received with incredulity and
his prospects for doing business looked
bad until the caterpillars began to arrive
in large numbers, and then he rapidly
made contracts with many householders
to remove them, and commenced to ac-
quire bank account. Now boy whom
he employed and failed to pay, says the
Swede hired him and others TO go into the
woods and gather caterpillars at sc a
quart, and that at night these were sprink-
led around where they would be most
effective in terrifying the inhabitants.

Born during the heroic days Of 1864, in

life was darkened by the calamities
which fell thick and fast upon her house
and people. The fall OF the Confcderacy

and drew her with ever increasing p m
derness 20 her fathers side and the
Cause Of the people who had so loy-
ally followed his leadership. More and
more she became his sympathetic com
rade and the sharer Of his memories and

"Thus. by birth and association and by
every influence which could touch the

Of what our people tenderly call The Lost

1T was under the inspiration Of this

THE SCULPTOR.
Some Of Mr.. Zolnay's Other Work In
Southern States.

George Julian Zolnay is rapidly coming
TO the front among American sculptors.
He Is known throughout the South for
the work he has lone for the Academic
Building at the University Of Virginia,
his bust OF the greatest of American
poets. Edgar Allan Poe. for the Uniyer-
sity Of Virginia, a design commemorate
ing the Texan revolution Of 1896. for Cal
weston "A large part OF the Tennessee Elk
position sculpture, and other responsible
commissions entrusted 10 his skill by
Southern people. His work for the Aca-
demic Building at the University has at
tracted widespread praise as also his bust
of Poe Of which a critic says:
Mr.. Zolnay's conception Of Poe. which
IS expressed in the bust. is that OF a
brilliant intuitionalist, with an extremely
artistic temperament. the vivid writer a
personality full Of pathos and melan-
choly breaking down under the strain Of
the struggles for existence. The ideal
Is nearer that of the Memorial Associa-
ton Committees than was found in any
Of the competing sketches"
SOME OF HIS WORK.
Mr.. Zolnay IS a graduate Of the Vienna
Imnerial Academy Of Fine Arts, and
though but ten years a resident OF the
United States, he has produced in that
brief time an exceptionally large number
OF works Of first Importance. among
which are u number OF statues ana
groups for the Chicago Worlds Far q
series of musicians. Beethoven, Mozart,
Schumann and Chopin. portrait busts OF
Sam Davis. the Nathan Hale OF the Con-
federacy General Fitzhugh Lee, General
". II. Jackson, Major j. W. Thomas,
h--.fH.at - tho Yannpec9a Centennial.
and designs for the Maine Memorial ana
for the Tag standard erected i'm front or
the New York city Hall.
Mr.. Zolnay has also perfected a mate
rial FOR statuary which, 1t IS predicted
will give sculpture a popularity when II
has not enjoyed since ancient times. The
new compound is as durable as stone or
bronze and as beautiful, but reduces the
cost Of production TO a minimum, Inc
chief characteristics of the sculptor's
work as force IN design, freedom In treat
ment and effective grasp in execution.
\ THOROUGH AMERICAN.
Mr.. Zolnay is a Hungarian by birth and
an American by adoption. He speaks
I'm the warmest terms Of the United
States and her institutions and has dem
onstrated the sincerity OF his attachment
by becoming naturalized. Mr.. Ioinay
finds great congeniality IN the southern
character and IS very popular in southern
circles in New York, where he resides.
