CAN IMAGINATION KILT

1t is fact we'll known to members
natson rrequehrly plays an lmportant
part in the origin and cure Of diseases.
1t is by no meant rare occurrence
for the services of doctors to be re-
Questioned by individuals W b 20 i'm
agine themselves to be suffering from
some disease, but who, when medical
ly examined, are found to be in per-
feet health their diseases are purely
fanciful, and exist only in their ima-
gination.
To plainly inform such hypochon-
driacs of the actual state of their
health would be worse than useless,
and in order to effect cure, or more
properly, to rid them of their strange
hallucinations, doctors usually affect
to believe their story and resort to
some clever ruse to attain the desired
result.
A French duchess had convinced
herself that she had swallowed frog,
and that in consequence her health
was quickly being destroyed. Emi-
nent doctors were summoned and, on
hearing the story, tried to reason her
out of her strange delusion, but the
lady remained obdurate.
DR.. Cabarus was at length consult
ed, and he adopted quite a different
course. Affecting to believe the
story, he went through the formaIity
of making a critical examination of
his patient, and then gratifed her by
saying, Undoubtedly, madam, the
frog is there, but I will remove it."
He left the house and hurried to
shop, where he bought green frog.
Returning to his patient he admin
istered an emetic, and when it opera
ted took the opportunity of slipping
the frog into the basin which had
been provided for the occasion. When
the duchess beheld the animal she
was satisfied that cure had been ef-
fected, but almost Immediately she
exclaimed, "Oh, doctor, it has left
young ones behind !"
Cabarus, however, was man of
ready resource, so, taking up the frog,
he looked carefully at it for moment,
and then said, impossible, madam /;
the animal is a male" and with this
assurance the lady was satisfied, and
at once got rid of her delusion. Lon

CLOTHES AND THE GIRLS.

When a girl comes to woman S
college she usually decides upon the
Character of her unknown classmates,
Judging not by their voices, nor by
the way they wear their clothes, !"
says woman's college student, who
tnereupon proceeds with her classif-
cation. "She ingeniously places
these unfamiliar girls in four fami-
lies, the Dowdies, the Prims, the
motherless Miss Fortunes, and these
delightful friends, the Ladies de Bon
heurs.
"The first family and its relations
are met everywhere. Their clothes
are badly or indifferently put on !;
buttons are missing, tears are fire.
quent several loose pins hold the
hair in place. One has no need to
enumerate further. The inky fingers
could not but hand in smeary paper
with sentences loosely constructed,
and the thoughts strung together.
No use to inquire into her character !;
the ttoughtfulness, the carelessness
rehectth Indifferent, don't care ma
ture.
"As her opposites, the Misses Prim
are pleasant contrast. Their clothes
shine with constant brushing; but
tons and fasteners are abundant and
yet there is a stiffness, oftentimes
amounting to hardness, in these de-
mure sisters. Like the shoulders of
their dresses their work is narrow.
They do not come enough out of their
shells to show their nature.
"The old toast runs Here's to
Dame Fortune, may you never meet
her daughter, Miss Fortune Yet
there is something pleasing about
these girls with the startling bands
on their arms, and with their we'll
groomed appearance. Their English
papers may often be careless, their
moods changeable; in fact, it is hard
to distinguish between these girls,
who hatter themselves on living a la
mode, but they are clean-and clean
illness is next to godliness.
And now, those girls and women
who are extreme in nothing except,
perhaps, in kindness. Their clothes
are genial and friendly if stylish
they seem to have been made to give
you pleasure; if unneat, you know
it is mistake. The cheerful attrac-
tiveness exhales a loving, thoughtful
disposition. Their work cannot but
be broad and sympathetic, their aim
to help others.
psychologists say that habits
formed before the age Of twenty-one
are not easily broken. The way girls
dress during the years they spend in
college is the keynote of their after
character, at least the note sounded

BLACK OR WHITE HOGS, wH1cHl

A correspondent in the National
Li0s Stock Journal claims that of all
the advertisers of breeding hogs, not
over 7 per cent. sell anything but
black, and that at the several State
exhibitions held last fall in Kansas
and Missouri, not over 7 per cent. of
the hogs were white, nor was the
proportion of white greater at the
great stock yards where hogs are
shipped for sale. He claims that
white hogs are more subject to skin
diseases, particularly mango, and that
the skin blisters much worse under
the influence of the hot sun. The
difference is quite marked where hogs
are spotted, the dark spots remaining
smooth, clean and glossy, while the
white portions are rough and sore
yet the black hog has as thin a hide
as the white.

MAKING A HAPPY HOME.

A woman's home is all her own
creation. 1t springs from her high
est ideal of what is good and fair to
look upon.
In order that a woman may be sue
cessful and happy in her home life
she must from the very bottom of her
heart regard her work as worthy the
highest education.
More than this she must regard it
as worthy her highest enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm may work hard and yet
be grumpy, but better than this, it
may be fairly bubbling with the Joy
of its existence, and this is the kind
of enthusiasm that makes a happy
home and we'll organized home.
Let woman know that before she
enters upon this work of making
home that it must for years occupy
the greater part of her thoughts and
time-there will be seasons when it
will occupy her whole time-and be
content that this is so because of the
value of the result to be attained.
The home where peace and order
reign, and sweet influence of industry
and education, of courtesy and relig-
ion prevail, is not made by chance.
The woman's thought, study and
ability have entered into it and give
it holiness and character all its own.
Where the servants are industrious
and quiet, where the children are
healthy, gentle and obedient, where
the conversation shows intellectual
life and generous thought, and the
spirit of the home in its activities and
pleasures is love, joy and peace-the
praise is due to the woman who as
wife and mother, mistress, housekeep-
er and homemaker, has made it her
study and pleasure to rule her king
dom diligently with intelligence and
love. Second is the praise due to the
husband and father who has made it
financially possible for the woman to
mould home into happiness. For
though the gift of opportunity is a
great gift, the will to make the op-
portunity a success is infinitely
greater, and it is this will that lies in
every woman's heart, whether it has
yet been developed or not.
The home which is the creation
sprung from woman's s highest ideal
of what is good and fair speaks to
mankind as truly as though her
thought had expressed itself in
writing.
1t is a work of the highest art.
It is work requiring the highest
study.
The most capable hands, the big
gest heart, the biggest brain go best
to the making of a home.
Do we all know what a home
means, have we all given the best
that is in us to this making Of the
home beautiful, the home happy and
the home holy?
. uyny1ns.l ltl..1s reoeayd sd hA- .s-,S~'-
at home she would settle her mind to
it without that restlessness and dis
content she will always feel if in her
heart of hearts she regarded history,
or art, or higher science as being more
worthy of her attention. Cheerful

NO RIVAL FOR HIM.

A valuable English pointer, which
was lost from plantation early last
month, has been found in Joyceville,
small village in Mecklenburg coun-
ty, $50 miles away. As to the man
ner in which he disappeared from the
plantation there is story.
A northern man brought the Eng
lish pointer to Virginia from the
Genesee Valley for couple of weeks
quail shooting. On the plantation at
which he put up there was another
dog-an old liver-colored pointer
who once had been known as the best
bird dog in the county, but had out
lived his reputation, and except under
the most favorable conditions was of
little service.
On the day the Northerner arrived
both dogs were taken into the field.
In very short time the native had
the humiliation of seeing himself
beaten in his own county and at his
own game by stranger. The new
dog found three covies to his one and
beat him quite as badly on the single
birds. In the afternoon the old fell
lows work became so ragged and he
ran over so many birds in his eager
ness to outdo his rival that his owner
finally sent him home.
The "best bird dog in the county,
crept away through the pines with
his tail dropping colors struck,
his heart broken. When the men
returned to the house in the evening
the vanquished champion deliberately
was Ttrrner Illuminated with Wnip-
ping by his master.
The next morning both dogs were
missing. Places for them to sleep
had been made on back porch. No
where were they to be found on the
plantation, nor had they been seen by
any one in the neighhorhood. The
next afternoon the old dog returned,
tired out but calm and cheerful. The
new dog was not with him.
The two men set out on horseback
to run him down if possible. No
trace was found until they reached
Jetersville, ten miles from here.
There a planter declared that early
on the day before he had seen two
pointers, one liver -colored and the
other white, trotting along the road
leading to Blackstone. The white
dog was FIVE or ten yards ahead Of
the other and apparently being chas-
ed. Whenever he attempted to stop
or turn, the liver-colored dog closed
in on him. Between Jetersville and
Blackstone the planters story was
corroborated a score of times. White
men and colored had seen the two
wanderers sometimes in the fields,
sometimes on the highway or skulk-
ing through the pines. But the white
dog was always little way ahead
and apparently greatly detected. At
the Falls of Nottoway, which are at
the extreme end of the county, the
trail was lost and the men were COM
pelled to return home without the
dog.
What became of him after his vigi-
liant jailer left him has still to be
learned, but the evidence against the
old liver -colored native is too con-
vincing to be set aside. He deliber-
ately drove his rival from the planta-
ton and not satisfied with that chased
him clean out of the county Uy-
gfnia letter in Mew York Sun.

II SEE, by the Weekly P2aindeal-
en-" said old Uncle Timrod, a trife
acidly, "that the absconding cash
ier of the Allegash bank had always
been a model of propriety and recti-
tude. He didn't drink, smoke or
gamble; never used profanity, or
wore a shirt waist, or played golf, or
admired a grass widder, or was the
least bit frisky in any way. And
Waal, in fact, he don't seem to have
but one fault, and that was that he
would steal"

"SoME OF the famous trotters and
PAGERS out this year have queer mas
COTS" said a man interested in such
things the other day. "Joe Pointer,
the unbeaten stallion, 2.ooA, has a
goat for chum.
'Searchlight, 2.o3A, is infatuated
with a pony stable companion. With
the pony near him he is the most
tractable horse in the world. When
the pony is taken away, Searchlight
will do nothing but kick and bite.
''But the queerest of all stable
friendships ever saw is one that Hal
B., 2.o4H, has made. He scraped an
acquaintance with Plymouth Rock
pullet a month ago. Now she roosts
on his back and rides around there
for hours when the fast PAGER is being
cooled off for a race"

BLONDE HAIR AND DARK.


Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities of Lille, writes the Paris
correspondent Of London Truth. Thus
the authenticated boys are generally
at the head of the recitation classes
and the blonde girls learn their les
sons best. Auburn boys and blonde
lasses come out highest as arithme-
ticians. But in composition they are
nowhere. The dark-haired children
of both sexes have the quality of
imagination and in their compositions
know how not to fatigue the atten-
ton. They have movement and
originality. In short, they seem, as
compared to the auburns and blondes,
born stylists. Now that 1 think of
it, Sarah Bernhardt is, or was, au-
burn haired, and Nine. Bartet had
light brown hair twenty-five years
ago-so light as to be almost fair.
l should not call the late Nine. Jac-
ques Stern (Croizette) in the heydey
of her charms blonde. But she had
a darkish shade of fair hair that look
ed like heavy sheeny floss silk, and
the ruddiness that one associates with
auburn. Nine. Samary was also fair
without being exactly blonde.
/ dare say the auburn boys and
blonde lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of Flemish, that is to say
phlegmatic, race. Their brains do
not grow at once congested when
they stand up to recite, and for that
reason they keep the mastery of the
vocal organs. In short, they continue
to know what they are about. The
dark children are probably of Celtic,
that is to say Gallo, origin. The
blood comes with a rush to their
brains, and they grow confused, sput-
ter, and break down. If they could
only be taught to remain silent for
few moments they would be all the
better for the rush, as the confusion
would have passed away, leaving only
stimulated mental organs. Gold
smith, who was dark, always began
by being confused in conversation.
O'Connell wore black wig, but his
real hair in youth was auburn, rec
ollect very old people who heard him
plead in his prime speak of it as such.
His readiness was wonderful. But
perhaps he might not have recited so
we'll what somebody else had written.
FIRST SMALL BoY-"There comes
the preacher to our house, and I'm
going to tell him none O the folks

Second Small Boy-"What fer ?"
"Cause every time he comes he
starts a revival o. religion at our
house, and that sets pop to prayin'
dozen times day."

JOLLY RED MEN.
Give Thanksgiving Ball at the
Opera House.
WAS A SOCIAL SUCCESS
Attendance Large and the Costumes
Worn Elaborate. Delightful hu-
sic Rendered. Names of Prize
Winners.

Winners.
One Of the most pleasing and enjoya-
bile affairs that has been given in Dem
ing for some time was the Thanksgiv-
ing masquerade ball at the Opera house
last Thursday evening under the aus
pices of Huachuca tribe, No. Is, I'M
proved Order of Red Men.
This was the first annual event of the
kind to be given by the local order, and
the committee in charge spared neither
pains nor expense on the preliminary
arrangements. Announcements were
made in season and up to Thursday eve
ming the fact was kept before the peo-
pie that there would be "somethin'
doin' that night. And but a few nc
ments before the hour for the enter
tainment the final gentle reminder was
sprung, in the way of a march of the
members of the tribe in full regalia
from the wigwam to the Opera house.
The parade attracted considerable at
tention, and it and the maneuvres and
evoutions at the hall brought forth
much favorable comment.
The attendance was large and repre-
sentative, and the costumes of the
maskers handsome, unique and elabor-
ate. In many instances originality was
strikingly apparent and the judges,
upon whom devolved the task Of nam
ing those entitled to the prizes offered,
had all that was coming 10 them. They
were not to be envied their duties, but
when the awards were announced all
agreed that they were fair and just.
For the best sustained lady charac-
ter Mrs. S. A. Birchfeld and Miss Hun
tington divided honors and prize. They
were attired in like costumes.
| J. |. Cox, impersonating James Tracy,
was awarded the prize for the best sus-
i tanned gentleman character
The most elaborate ladys costume
was decided to be that worn by Mrs.
Wigginton, who was duly awarded the
prize, while Joe Tuttle wore the most
elaborate gentleman's costume.
During the evening number of pop
ular musical selections were excellently
rendered by local talent and at inter
mission lunch was served.
Socially and financially the ball was a
success, enjoyed alike by those who
took part in the merry mazes and those
who merely looked on, and the Red Men
are to be congratulated for the very
creditable manner in which the function
their first annual-was conducted. 1t
augurs well for the success of any pub
lie entertainment the lodge may have
in view for the future.
