The DUTY of Mothers.

1t is a kind provision of nature that
the mother may exercise such control
over her child's organization that her
forethought can shield it to a large extent
from the effect of its fathers physical de-
fects as well as from her own.
A mother should therefore keep her
own feelings in such a healthful condi-
ton that their strength shall not degen-
crate She should cultivate hope and as
piration, courage and cheerfulness, avoid
ing those feverish ambitions and anxieties
which waste nerve substance rapidly.
Steady and cheerful application to duty,
the practice of temperance, kindness
and generosity, are the bright fame in the
mother soul which shall give heat and
light to the better nature of her unborn
child. Should she not attach herself to
what is beautiful and good when the be-
liefs and wishes of single day in her
life may echo down the ages? This is
simply an imperative duty that she owes
10 herself, to her child and to society
Some day, let us hope, the world will I'M
derstand this matter, and then mothers
will realize the prenatal duty they owe
to their unborn children, for whose
chances in life they are responsible

Home Companion.

For Massage.

Olive oil is nouIishing used as an I'M
guent in massage, but meats foot oil
(made from hoofs of beeves) is better, be-
ing more penetrating. However, for a
nervous invalid there is something better
than either, being both a nutriment and
tonic-namely, quinine ointment. This is
the remedy of remedies for a puny or
teething baby or for an invalid of any
age. When physicians prescribe it, as
some do, it costs So or So to have 1t COM
pounded at drug store. 1t may be made
at home for few cents. To one cupful Of
pure lard add 16 grains of quinine for a
child, 20 or % grains for an adult, and
beat hard together for full half hour. "a
soup plate and silver fork are the best
utensils. Give the patient a thorough rub
bling with this all over the body, rubbing
in as much as the skin will absorb. I'm
der the arms, knees and soles of the feet
the absorption will be found very great.
Less will be needed as time goes on, but
as the ointment will keep the quantity
made does not signify The skin should
be bathed with hot water, using soap, be-
fore the daily application and rubbing.
Within two or three weeks improvement
will be noticeable, and six months will
work a metamorphosis in an ailing baby,
child or nervous invalid. For malarial
troubles it does wonders, far beyond what
any internal dosing can accomplish, but
you will need to be persistent in its appli
cation.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph

Few women nowadays prove healthy
and robust mothers, for the reason that
they are handicapped in the race of life
by the abnormally constituted foods they
are compelled to eat, by reason OF the
artificial fashion which has every decade
tended to greater refinement of texture.

MILK BATHS.
The Evils of Grandmother's Remedy
For the Complexion.

For the Complexion.
Theoretically, on account of it's cream
and albumen, milk is valuable, but the
advantages are more than counterbal-
anced by the very irritating character
of the salts and sugar contained in the
milk. AS a rule, milk renders the ski
red in a patchy way. Skins differ very
greatly in their sensitiveness to the ac-
tioE of milk. When it can be used
without subsequent irritation, it should
always be warmed, not boiled.
1t must be borne in mind that milk
quickly undergoes septic change. If
used as a lotion and the skin Is not
cleansed daily with hot water, soap
and rinsing, pimples may be expected.
The milk bath of the experts, about
which such wild statements have been
made, is never adopted as routine
agent for treating exposed parts of the
skin. 1t is always followed by careful
cleansing and at the first sign of irriia-
ton, popular or otherwise, by proper
remedies.

SPRING AND SUMNER WAISTS
The Latest Things In Silk and Wash
Materials.

Yesterday l was wandering in and
out of the fashionable stores trying
to find something new to talk about.
The newest things were the dainty
silks for summer wear. One of the real
novelties in this line is a white surah
with black polka dots. These are
large or small as the taste of the buyer
shall decide. Black and white is a
combination often seen in so many
things that one forgets nearly all of
them. In one place were some very
dainty shirt waists made with the ma
terial draped across the bust surplice
style, and the V shaped space is filed
in with white batiste, finely tucked
and ornamented with lace. The shape
of all the waists is closer and more
trim and less baggy than any others
have been. Pretty silk ones are made
Of the corded silk and in any color or
tint best liked, and many are hand en-
broidered. Wide or narrow belts are
worn, the wide shirred black velvet
girdle being quite a favorite, and de-
servedly so, as they can be worn with
anything. Some have sailor or rolling
collars or revers of black velvet. 9th
ers again are richly ornamented with
rows of the Persian castle braid. In
deed the liking for this is almost g
fad.
AS to the cotton waists, it is mani

but they are Of everything, from lawn
to the most delicate of batiste, and
many are embroidered by hand
madras, oXfords, cheviots, hand en-
broidered linens, piques, dimities, dot
ted and embroidered swisses and no
end to the Persian designs in soft mer
cerized cottons. The white flannels
and the dainty and pretty cashmeres
all are among them and many more.
The silks prepared expressly for the
purpose are legion. Cords and open
work effects are among the favorites,
and notice quantity of rumchundas.
Real Chinese pongee silk is one of the
dearest and the coolest and incest of all
the materials unless you except the en-
broidered linen lawn. Shirt waists no
longer have yokes.

He Arrived at Her Age.

The lady in the witness box was reluc-

magistrate was astute enough not to
press the question.

GONE TO HER REST.
Mrs. Donald e. Mclver Passes Away
After Only Few Days Illness.

Mrs. Donald f. McIver died at her
home in this city last Monday after
noon at 8 10 o'clock.
She had been in robust health and
was only taken sick Thursday night
1t was known that the attack was
serious, and all was done fer her that
loving sympathy and professional
skill could suggest, but all to 10 pur-
pose. 1t was impossible to stay the
dread summons, which, sooner or la
ter, shall come to US all.
This sudden passing away of so esti-
mable a woman has caused a great
sorrow to fall upon our people, and the
profoundest sympathy is now being
extended to the bereaved husband,
the motherless children, and the 9TH
er members of the desolated home.
Mrs. McIver was born in Wake
county, near Raleigh, n. c., in 1865.
Her maiden name was Melvina
Clements. She was married to Mr..
McIver in 1887 at the home of her
sister, Mrs. J. q. Spurlin, in Summer,
Ga, aud has resided in Ocala ever
since.
The funeral services were conducted
from her late residence, Rev. J. G.
Law, of the Presby terrain church, Off
ciating.
The pall~bearers were Messrs. 3. A
Weathers, c. s. Cullen, :. T. Sistrunk,
f. p. Thagard, r. W. TroxIer and G..
G. Frazer.
Her body was laid to rest in Green
wood cemetery, under a wealth of flo
raj offerings, the gifts of sOrrOwing
friends.
Mrs. McIver was member of the
Presbyterian church apd an active
doer in works of benevOlencc and
charity.
Before her fatal illness nowhere was
the sunshine of life more effdlgent
than in her own home.
The large number who attended her
sad O"soquies testified to the esteem
in which she was held by our whole
community, and her deeds OF love,
charity aud affection will leave be-
hind them fragrance that will never
perish.
