IN ORDER TO SHAVE EASILY
 FIRST HARDEN THE BEARD

rubbing would be minimized, only that sensitive skins would revolt. Mir. Hoskins, of Mariner & Hoskins, chemists, is of the opinion that alkali with water rubbed over the face and saponifying the oils of the skin and beard might easily make the beard subject to easy shaving. He likens the possible &C., tion of the alllali and oils to the effect of ether and camphor put upon file and upon glass in order that the file may cut glass.
 "The mixture does not affect the file in the least" he said ''it does not make any change in the glass. But with this simple solution applied to both surfaces the file cuts the harder glass readily. In just such manner I should say father affected the beard-mechanically and not chemically"
 With reference to the substance of shaving soaps, an old formula of the old Windsor shaving soap indicates the mild ness of the compositions and the neces- sity for the barber's rubbing of the father into the beard, If only to harden It. It reads:
 Pure white tallow ..............2O pounds Cochin China cocoanut oil....-.lO pounds Soda lye of 30 degrees B........17 pounds Potash lye of 30 degrees B...... pounds
 Perfume with:
  oil of cinnamon. .......... ......SA ounces oil of rosemary .... .......... 4 ounce oil of laYender.... ............... H ounce
 "In this formula" said MT. Hoskins, 'the average reader might be disposed to wonder at the apparent amount of al- kali. The soda lye and the potash lye, amounting to twenty pounds, however. means a solution of the Ives which prob ably would not contain above one and a half nOundS of the crystals. Continuing the subject of shaving soaps, The London Lancet has done something to set at rest the fears that men may have of septic barbering. 1t says of the antiseptic mission of these soaps:
 Soap probably plays fl more important role than that of a saponifier of the na- tural oil of the hair. In spite of the fact that those who use the razor frequently cut themselves, yet 1t Is rarely that any thing more serious than a cut follows the slight wound generally healing quick ly, and the risk of septicaemia arising in this way would seem to be almost nil
 Tn the majority of cases, therefore 1t is clear that the razor blade must be bacteriologically clean-free from septic matter-which may be attributed to the fact that probably 1t Is dipped into hot i or sterilized water before use, or else that the soap father is antiseptic. The latter explanation seems the more probable of the two. The amount of soap rubbed on the skin is considerable if the shaving is to be in any degree comfortable, and soap has antiseptic power, per cent solu- ton being sufficient to destroy the typhoid bacillus.
 There can be little doubt, therefore, that the skin is rendered sterile by the liberal application of soap and this fact is in favor of any cut that may be made remaining healthy and without serious consequences. In a word, soap in the op- eration of shaving not only facilitates the process. but plays the same valuable role where the shaver is unlucky enough to cut himself as does the antiseptic in surge1y."

An Amusing Incident.

An incident during the royal visit to
Edinburgh, which was the cause of d
good deal of amusement at the time,
occurred on the occasion of the con-
ferring of the accolade by the king on
one of the newly made knights. The
worthy citizen, when placing himself
upon his knees in order to receive the
all-important tap on the shoulder from
the royal sword, knelt down in the
furry Of the moment at such distance
from the kings chair that he was quite
out of reach. A sign was made to him
by some one in attendance to approach
nearer, whereupon the good man, with
cut rising to his feet, shuff1ed along
on his knees until he got within the
required distance. His majesty ex-
pressed his interest by genial smile,
while his gracious consort held up to
herface an enormous bouquet Modern

Horriied as New Salem people were

Ing PEDRO L0r1mef.
Horrided as New Salem people were
by threatened violence, they were un-
able to refrain from cheering. They
crowded to the chest Of drawers. where,
left stranded as by a stormy tide, sat
Peggy and Antywine. He held the hat
and snakeskin which Sticky Green
thrust into his keeping before following
the ebb. 8 The pair clung together,
hearkening to no voices but their own,
as two robins escaping from some
peril Of man, might have felicitated
and comforted each other. The air
was fresh like the breath of the sea
after a hot land breeze has gone by.
Mounted all three upon the horse
from which Lincoln had flung Peggy to
Antywine, Lincoln and Yates, and
Sticky filling its back from name to
tail, made the best haste they could to
the Sangamon. They stood at the top
of the terraced bank while Pedro Lori
mer was rolled down in barrel. .
Three times, tradition has it, tho
unhappy wretch took his plunge, and
came hobbing up like buoy. Then
Lincoln and Yates, and the cooling
effect Of the water on those who had
him to pull OUT succeeded in moderat-
ing popular rage against him. He was
turned loose, and his horse whipped
in the direction Of Springfield, with
emphatic assurance that the barrel
would be kept for him, and if he ever
came back would be put to it's final use
as his floating coffin.
Don Pedro Lorimer was never seen
again in that country. When Peggy
and Antywine were married, and keep
ing house in their own cabin, she used
sometimes to part her white curtains
at night, and look out fearfully for a
dreaded face. But happiness and Sc
curity become a habit, and she loved
after awhile to tell her own story.
Years later the two who had steered
her destiny--AbrahamL Lincoln and Rich
ard Yates-began to steer the destinies
of nation and state, and the Span
lard of New Salem grew to experience
the grateful awe of a person who has
been visited unawares by strong
angels.

WrightsviIle and TenniIIe.

Dublin, Ga, Sept. 12-There is lit
tie doubt that the Wrightsville and
Tennille road will be extended form
HawkinsVille to Cordele or some other
point beyond Hawkinsville. On the first
Wednesday in October the stockhold-
ers will meet in Tennille. The principal
business to be transacted is that of
considering a proposition to increase
the capital stock or to issue bonds,
either or both. At present the Wrights-
VILE and Tennille road is in excellent
shape, physically, and does not owe a
dollar. In addition to this, there is in
the treasury nearly, if not quite $780,
600. For this reason it is pointed out
that the proposition to increase the
stock or to issue bonds can mean MOTH
ing else except an extension.
It is understood that the road VIII
he extended from Hadwkinsville to
Cordele. At the latter place connec-
tion will be made with the Atlantic
and birmingham, and the Georgia
Southern and Florida. To Albany con-
nections can be made with the Albany
Worthern and thence to Alabama and
FLORIDA over the Central road. 1t has
even heen suggested that possibly the
Intention is to purchase the Albany
Worthern if the road can be purchased.
Tha oficials in Dublin of the Wrights-
1,iiIe and Tennille road refuse to dis
o,,ss the matter, but none of them can
tic good reason why it has oeen
ss,ggeeted that the road be bonded or
,0oore stock issued unless it be done Tor
tbe nurpose of extending the ROAD. All
of them admit also that to extend the
road would be a good thing.

UNIVERSITY SESSION
BEGINS WEDNESDAY.
Outlook bright for an Unprecedent-

Outlook bright for an Unprecedent-
ed Attendance.
Athens, Ga. Sept. 12-The Univer-
sity of Georgia will open its one
hundred and fourth session Wednes-
day morning, and from the outlook
1t appears that the attendance during
the coming session will go beyond all
records. Last year the attendance went
beyond $50, which was itself "a record
breaker, but the chances are bright
for an attendance of at least 400 this
session.
During the past few months the call
for catalogues and literature about the
University has been heavier than ever
before, and they have been sent all
over the state and into many states
South and North.
The University summer school was
itself quite an advertising agent, and
for the past two months State Agent
]. S. Stewart has been putting in some
hard work for the institution He
has stirred up great deal of interest
The School of Pharmacy, the new
department established by the Board
of Trustees at their session last June,
is going to be one of the best depart
ments of the University. DR.. Samuel
{. Benedict, dean of this school, has
received a large number of inquiries.
The law department is also bright
with promise of splendid session.
Already the advance guard of the
Greek letter fraternities are on the
ground. They always come early and
spy out the good material, SO as to get
the advantage of spiking before the
regular term opens. There will be a
lively fight for the new men on the
part of the several fraternities this
year, as it is said that great deal
of material that the fraternities will
consider first class will be on hand
among the new men.
The greater number of the students
will arrive Monday and Tuesday, and
the examination for entrance will for
the most part be held on those two
days, although there will be examina-
lions all through the week. Chancel-
lOr Hill who has been for several days
at the bedside of his father-in-law
in Macon, will return as soon as pos
sible and take up the duties of his
office. All the members of the faculty
are on hand and ready for the be-
ginning of their work. The two new
professors, Prof. 7. J. Woofter of the
Department of Philosophy, and Prof
S. V. Sanford, of the Department of
English, are here, and have already
made a splendid impression upon all
who have met them. They come to
| the university with the highest rec
concentrations and will no doubt make
| valuable members of the faculty.
The workmen on the annex to the
old library building are busily en-
gagged and hope to be able to finish
the work by Jan. l. The completion
of this building will enable the faculty
| of the literary departments of the
university to be put in one building,
while all the scientific studies can be
taught in Moore College and Science
Hall. The work on the new Peabody
Library building is now under good
Roadway. The contractors are begin
ming to prepare the foundations for
the building, and it will be completed
and ready for occupancy by next COM
mencement.
