like a mans evening vest and fastens at

the distinctive feature of the frock rests
on the sham vest of coarse cream race.

to one of linen or null, thus bringing
about a very different effect.
And what of the blouse that has been so
long with us and proved true friend IN
need? The shirt of the tailor cut rs never
by any means COMPOUNDED with the blouse
of daintier make and material. The shirt
to be worn this spring with coat and skirt
is severe, tucked or box plated in front,
with small tailored sleeves. The cut, ma

all frills and furbelows. There is no COM

short plated skirts and with the new

The new serviceable leather belts are

for early spring gowns, as they may be
worn, off and on, all during the summer for
water trips, mountain travelling and cool
evenings in the country. Mohairs, silk,

Singing for Beauty.

Singers always have beautiful necks, not
because they are gifted more in this way
at birth than other women, but because of
the frequent exercise given to the muscles
OF that region. Even the woman not en-
dowed with a singing voice may have the
rounded throat of a cantatrice. In the pri-
vacy of her room let her practice vocal ex-
ercises each night and morn, and she need
not fear hollows or shrunken flesh.

An empty" ons.pounder Explodes.

Barnes, whose wife was instantly killed
in their home here yesterday by the ex-
plosion of "one-pounder'' shell, to-day
told remarkable story Of the history of
the she'll. 1t had been in his wife's
family, he said, for number of years
before her marriage, her brother, William
Mahu, having brought it home as ourio,
when he was an apprentice in the navy.
When Miss Mahu was married to Barnes
she brought the shell to her new home
with her other possessions. Barnes saws
he has used it repeatedly to crack nuts
with, that the family used it for a paper
weight and that both the children used
it for rattle. "There was something
inside" he said, that ratified and the
children would amuse themselves shak.

baby carriage to the floor many times.
During all these years there was not a
suspicion that it was not an empty shell
like three similar cartridges that had
been in my wife's family"

These tablets will digest the food your
weak stomach cannot, and thus nourish
the body and prevent the partial starva-

South Carolina Patents.

Washington, December 31.-T. A.
Sizemore, of Greenville, has been al
lowed patent on machine which
he invented for making bands for
spinning and twisting machines. Mr..
Sizemore makes a long list of claims
for his device, but the substance of
them is that it makes bands for the
two kinds of machines named in a
different manner from other inven.
tions of the same character. Mr..
Sizemore will put his invention upon
the market as soon as possible.
VIM. B. Simons, of Charleston, is
the inventor of an apparatus for
treating pyrites, and the Patent
Office granted him patent upon his
design last week.
A new pulverizing machine will
soon be put on the market by Samuel
Hughes, of Summerville, who was
granted patent rights upon his in

The Opinion Of One.

The Lawrence University, a Metho.
dist institution, has declined to ac-
cept a bequest of 100000 from
Willis w. Cooper, who lost his life
in the 1roquois theatre fire, because
"Mr. Cooper lost his life while in at
tendance at place of amusement
contrary to the rule of the Metho.
dist church" We may not be a fit
person to judge of such matters, but
we cannot refrain from expressing
our pity for soul so narrow that it
cannot witness decent theatrical or
circus performance without being
corrupted thereby. Actors and ami
mails are the creation of God, and
not the devil, therefore we cannot
see the harm in Gods creatures be-
ing educated by witnessing the feats
of skill and the dramatic talents He
has endowed others of his own crea-
tion with. We know there are bad
people among those who follow the
show business, but all are not bad
Wherefore should the good be con-
demned with the bad? It's a poor
religion that denounces all that is
good because portion, or even a
may be evil. - Gaffney

Greenville's greatest Christmas gift
was the donation by DIR. Chas. Hallet
Judson of his home and grounds to
Furman University.
This property, which is located on
Mcdaniel street, in West End, is
given as a special incentive to those
who have subscribed to the endow-
ment fund to pay their notes, and in
order, too, that the noble old institu-
tion may have its fund complete at
the earliest possible time.
The papers conveying the property
have all been made out to the execu-
tive committee of the college, and
the transfer has been effected. The
Judson residence is fairly valued by a
prominent real estate man at 81 500,
but in making over the property
to the University, DIR. Judson, with
characteristic modesty and conser-
yatism, places the value at $4,000.
DIR. Judson's services to the Uni
versity extends over a period of fifty
years. He entered the faculty and
was one of the building committee
which erected the main college struc-
ture half century ago. With Fur
man and it's alumni DR.. Judson viii,
leave the memory of an imperishable
personality. This latest gift is in
addition to large donation made
last year.

The Animals Of South Carolina.

luo ouTcdu VI AuitbdI luuubCry,
OF the Department of Agriculture,
at Washington, has just issued its
twentieth annual report, and it con-
tains some interesting figures rela-
tive to the number of farm animals
in South Carolina, together with the
values and average price per head
of the various kinds of animals.
The number of horses in South
Carolina, according TO the Bureau of
Animal Industry, is 1891. The
value of all these is placed at S6,262,-
252, and the price per head for
horses in South Carolina is $84.64,
which is good average. There are
only few OF the States which show
a higher value per head. South
Carolina stands tenth in the United
States in this respect. The horses
Of New Jersey are the most valuable,
tho average price per head there
being s99.2S. The average for the
whole country is $67.93.
South Carolina is one of he
wealthiest States in the Union in re-
gard to mules. There are 1O5,537
mules in the State. Only ten States
have a larger number. The State
which has the largest number is
Texas, where there are 100000. The
value of the mules of South Carolina
is $lO,51O,0SS, and in this respect the
rank of the State is eleventh. When
it comes to the average price per
head for mules, South Carolina
stands second, with only Georgia
ahead of her. The average price per
head in the Palmetto State is S99.59,
while over in Georgia it is slO4.O2.
The average for the entire country is
$3.50, showing these two States to
be far above the average.
The milch COWS of South Carolina
are valuable asset to the farmers
and stock owners. The figures of
the Animal Bureau Show that there
are 1882 milch COWS in South
Carolina, valued at s2,712,67S. The
average price per head for COWS in
the State is S24.48, which is below
the average for the entire country,
which is $29.21. The State owning
the largest number of cows is New
York, where there are 1,655,32S
milch cows. The highest average
value per head is found in Massa-
chusetts, where COW is worth about
$4O.40. The lowest price per head
is in Alabama, where the average is
$19.57.
Other cattle of South Carolina
number 176,603, and are valued at
I'll ,972,444, with an average price
per head of $11.17. This is below
the most of the States.
South Carolina is poor in sheep.
The number of these little farm ami
mails in the State is 59,452, and they
have value of S117,311 the aver
age price per head being as low as
$l.97. The average for the entire
country is $3.50. Montana and
Wyoming are the greatest sheep
States of the country, the former
having 5,270,063 sheep.
In hogs, South Carolina compares
favorably with most of the States.
The number of swine in the State is
65l,S7O, and they are valued at
S3,676,547, the average price per
head being 1854. The hogs of
Rhode Island have an average value
of $13.OS. Iowa has more hogs than
any other two States in the Union,
the number being 7,364,26S.
There are total of l,17S,265 farm
animals in South Carolina, valued at
$25, 5,251 $50.
