As to Blushing.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The habit of blushing is almost invariably
cause of great annoyance to It's pos
SCISSORS. Very frequently It seriously ham
pers them in the ordinary affairs Of life,
for blushing Is accompanied by confusion
or mind. nervousness and hesitancy. The
two main points in the treatment of shy
ness. which is the great cause Of blushing,
are, first. open-air exercise. and, second,
the society of others. Open-air exercise Is
good for all morbid disorders such an ex-
cessive shyness, while the social life
makes for self-control and that SAVIOR
faire we all seek to attain; for the latter
enables US to go through life without be-
traying awkwardness and timidity Alb
normally sensitive people may find the cure
lengthy one but If they preserve the very
mental effort which Is put forth to accom-
plish the remedy will aid them in acquiring
control over their tel-tale bushes

COUNTY PRIMARY ELECTION.
Democrats of Montgomery County
Naming Candidates.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 5.-The demo-
cratic primary election is being held
throughout this county today to nominate
candidates for the various offices to be
filled this fall. 1t Is the elimination Of the
bitterest primary fight that ever took place
in this county The contest between Col
Spencer c. Jones and Mr. Blair Lee for
the nomination for state senator has all
along been the center of interest, and 1t Is
evident at the various polling places today
the other nominations to be made The
voting began at 8 o'clock this morning and
will continue until this evening.
The various polling places present scenes
of the greatest activity. All of the lieu
tenants and workers of both Col Jones and
Mr.. Lee are at their respective posts and
every person approaching the polls who
will permit 1t Is pulled and hauled by the
contending workers.
The general impression seems to be that
Mr. Lee is getting the better of the VOTE
but at this time it is impossible to form
any definite idea as to the result. Both
Col Jones and Mr.. Lee and their friends
seem to be confident. but both sides row
admit the vote will be close Owing to the
lengthy ticket, the full result will not be
known until long after midnight.
1t is believed, however. that sufficient re-
turns will be In by II O'Clock to give a
pretty definite idea as to the ticket nomi-
mated. 1t was thought that there might be
trouble at at least three of the polling
places, but SO far no disturbances of any
consequence have been reported.

Tools in the Pawnshop Window.

Many people who stop at a pawnshop
window find pathos and romance in the
jewelry there displayed" says a student OF
the streets so there is, perhaps, and If
could know the stories that go with
those unredeemed gewgaws we would
doubtless never need to hunt excitement or
sentiment In current fiction. But there are
other things in the window which seem
still more pathetic to me. The jewels and
watches represent after all only the renun-
cis ton of luxury. The parting of them
may mean dire distress. but 1t Is just as apt
to mean sudden need of money over night
for spree or some sort of sordid extrava-
gance. But every pawnshop window dis
plays also a lot of workmen's tools, those
OF carpenters. plumbers. masons and 9TH
ers, and generally these are much more
numerous than the jewels. The relinquish-
ment of these tools probably always tells
sadder story, the casting away of the last
means of livelihood either in confession
of final defeat or in face CO a need so dire
that only the immediate question of bare
self-preservation can be considered. I al
ways wonder. when / see the implements.
what were the hopes and aspirations of the
owner when they were acquired"
