"For about six years I have had
trouble every fall and winter with my

time and thought to the. adornment
OF your person, while your mind is
starving for want of proper food.
You need not be a Questioning, but
a good healthy course for reading
and thinking is splendid gymnastics
for your mental power.
Don't come down to breakfastin a
soiled wrapper, sloven1y shoes, bangs
done up in curl papers, and back
hair in a cracker knot on top of your
head. You will never gee any one
better to dress for than those in the
home circle. They TT the ones to
be cheered byyour sweet wholesome
appearance and not the strangers.
In a word, girls try to be true
women, and by so doing you will
gain an influence which, like a sweet
perfume, will shed it's fragrance
upon all with whom you may be
brought in contact.-Baltimorean.

CARING FOB THE TEETH.

Without good teeth there cannot
be good mastioation.
Without thorough masticRtion
there cannot be perfect digestion,
and poor health results.
Hence the paramount Importance
of sound teeth.
Clean teeth do not decay.
The Importance of a sound first set
of teeth is as great to the child as a
sound second set is to the adult.
Children should be taught to use
the toothbrush early.
Food left on the teeth ferments,
and the acid formed produces decay.
Decay leads in time to pain and
the total destruction of the tooth.
The substance of the following
rules should therefore be impressed
upon all children.
1. The teeth should be cleaned at
least once daily.
2. The best time to clean the teeth
is after the last meal.
3. A small toothbrush with stiff
bristles should be used, brushing up
and down and across and inside and
outside and between the teeth.
4. A simple tooth powder or a lit
tie soap and some precipitated chalk
taken up on the brush may be used
if the teeth r dirty or stained.
5. 1t is a goodpractice to rinse the
mouth after every meal.
6. All rough usage of the teeth,
such as cracking nuts, biting thread,
ETC., should be avoided, but the
proper use of the teeth in chewing is
good for them.
When decay occurs it should be at
tended to long before any pain re-
Suits. 1t is stopping of a small
cavity that is of the greatest service.

James Barton AID
DON'Ts FoR GIRLS.

Don't encourage young men to call
upon you who frequent liquor sa.
looms, billiard parlors or pool rooms.
Don't notice men who stare at you
on the streets, even if it is a we'll
bred stare. Doubtless they think
themselves irresistible and you very
much impressed with their appear
ance.
Don't stand at the street corners
talking to young men, though they
are acquaintances.
Don't consider it a sign of your
popularity to be accompanied by
several escorts whenever you take
your walks abroad.
Don't accept p~romiscuops invita-
tions. It only oheapens you and may
draw you into a circle of acquain-
tances you will regret having made.
Don't sanction wine drinking
when out to parties and weddings.
Your simple act of declining the
proffered glass may act as a check
upon your companies. Tacit disap-
prevail sometimes does more good
than the most eloquent temperance
lecture.
Don't marry a drinking man. If
the sweetheart will not give up the
dangerous habit, it is very certain
the husband will not.
Don't allow men to be familiar
with you, to use slang Or doubtful
expressions in your presence.
Don't make appointments with
men, either at a friends home, in
the park, or at any place but your
fathers house.
Don't rebel if the visits of a GER
tain gentleman are disagreeable to
your mother, and she says so. She
knows best, and can see faults and
deficiencies that youth and inexperi-
ence would never discover.
Don't attempt to copy the manners
and dress Of your brothers. Moth
ing so unsexes a woman as masculine
ways.
Don't use loud tone in talking, nor
call men by their last names without
the usual paefix. Men may treat
you as "a comrade, but they very
rarely marry such girls.
Don't be ashamed to help mother
with the homework. A practical
knowledge Of bread-making, cook
ing and the general management of
a house is worth more than a smat-
tering of music or painting. To
know how to "set" the sponge for
bread is an accomplishment that 10
girl need despise, and the kneading
of it is grand exercise.
Don't set your mind too much on
dress. While it is your duty to look
your best with the means at your
command, it is wrong to give much

Then why forecast the trials of life

Strength for to-day, what a precious

For earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister

Strength for to-day, that the weary

In the battle of the right may
quail not,
And the eye, bedimmed by bitter

In their search for light may fail
not.
Strength for to-day, on the down

For the travellers near the valley ;
That up, far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day, that our pre-

May happily shun temptation;
And build from the rise to the set of

On a strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day, in house and

To practice forbearance sweetly
To scatter kind words and loving

Still trusting in God completely.

AS there never will be a to NOR

For tomorrow will prove but an

FOR NY LITTLE SONS DINNER PLATE.

When thou dost eat from off this

Unto thy elders at the board,
Do thou sweet reverence accord,
And, though to dignity inclined,
Unto the serving folk be kind

And unto God, for health and food,
And all that in thy life is good,
Give thou thy heart in gratitude.

no CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT KINDNESS.

Looking out of our window this
minute we saw a blind colored man
who is a familiar figure on the
streets of Raleigh. He knows the
way wonderfully we'll and what is
more he knows the route to many
offices. He also knows many gentle
men by the sound of their feet, and
more by their voices. He works
when he IAN. We frequently see
him going home at ~nightfall, stand
ing at a street-crossing, awaiting a
chance TO get across when the stream
Of vehicles breaks for a little.
Just now he came to a place where
the pavement has been repaired, and
the barriers are still up. With in
stinctive cautiousness he gently
came upon them. Stopping a moment
until a young man approached, he
asked, "What is this?" The young
man said not a word. Another came,
and appeared not to see him. An
other came and the blind man in
quired, GLOW far does this go?"
Not a word. With his faithful walk
ing stick, he slowly moved off the
walk, stepping easily from the pave
ment, avoided a pile of bricks,
touched d pile of sand, went around
it and landed safely at last on the
sidewalk. In his grouping progress
he passed five men, four white and
one oolored, each of them young.
And he gave three of them oppor-
unity to help him. But each lost
his opportunity.
Rarely have we seen such an exhi-
bitiOn of brutal heartIessness. Those
men may be members of churches,
but the first breath of Christianity is
not in their souls. They are heather,
OF worse.-Biblical Recorder.

HARLEM RIVER SWITCHMEN.
Urged to Return Co Work by Robert
 Turbush Who Was Dismissed.

New York, Nov. 26.--A meeting of the striking switchmen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was held to-night.
 Robert Turbush, whose dismissal as assistant yardmaster caused the strike, appeared at the meeting and addressed some 157 of the switchmen, urging them to return to work at once. Immediate ly vote was boiled with the result that it was unanimously agreed that the men should present themselves at the company's office and there signify their willingness to go back to work, according to the terms of the company. MT. Turbush thanked the men for their loyalty, but he said he was willing to sacrifice his position and prospects rather than have the men unemployed
 The strike was declared off then and there and immediately after the meet ing number of the men who had been at night went to the yards and reported for work.

FINE GREETING TO SCHLEY.
Center of an Enthusiastic Demonstrn-
 ton in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Nov 26-Rear Admiral Schley, who with his wife, arrived here day to remain until tomorrow as the guest of Colonel A. K. Mcclure, was the center of an enthusiastic demon- stration at the Broad street station of the Pennsylvania railroad when the Washington express arrived. More than a thousand persons were congregated in the station to see him, and when he stepped from the train the crowd set up a wild cheer and then massed around him so that it was with much difficulty that the police opened a pas sage for him to leave the station.
 Tonight the admiral, Mrs. Schley and party occupied box at the Chestnut street opera house as the guests of Sir Henry Irving to see the great English actor in "The Merchant of Venice" The crowd at the opera house was one of the greatest ever present in that place, hundreds of persons being turn ed away long before the curtain rose, it having been known that the admiral would attend the play. He was en- Enthusiastically greeted.
 After the performance the party was entertained at lunch at the Hotel Bellevnue. Admiral and Mrs. Schley will leave for New York tomorrow morning to spend Thanksgiving day with their daughter, Mrs. Wortley.

JURY COULD NOT AGREE.
Unable to Find Verdict for or Against s. Lawyer Semplc.

Philadelphia Nov. 26.-After deliber- ating for nearly thirty hours, the jury in the case of John L. Semple, the Camden, N. J., lawyer, who was tried in the United States district court here upon the charge that he aided and abetted counterfeiters, were unable to agree and were discharged this after noon by Judge McPherson. Semple was alleged to have assisted Arthur Taylor and Baldwin s. Bredell in the manufacture of plates from which were printed $2O counterfeit notes.
 Taylor and Bredell are awaiting sen tence for their part in the famous Lan- caster. Pa, revenue stamp counter feitine case. The charge against Law yer Semple was that he had induced the two young men to make counter felt plates in prison with the intention of surrendering the plates to the gov ernment, hoping thereby to have their sentences for their part in the Lancas- fer conspiracy reduced.
