she keeps ten servants or one general
house worker.
HE might have lived to a ripe old
age If he had had decent food" snort
ed the family doctor In speaking Of a
young man with delicate constitution.
ut wasn't that he didn't have enough.
He had more than was good for him,
but every thing was swimming In grease
or fixed up with rich sauces. What
he needed was rare meat fruit and
crackers. AS 1t was, his overworked
stomach rebelled all the time, and his
anaemic condition fastened his end"
1t is possible to set a good table
cheaply and a very bad one most ex-
penslvely. Rice is cheap, beans are
cheap, salads and plain meats are rea-
sonable. On the other hand, buildings
are expensive, rich cakes and dough-
nuts certainly are, and hot bread and
biscuits consume quantities Of -four
and eggs.
Take one instance which came to my
notice: At certain wOman's house
they had for dinner roast stuffed veal
and spinach with ham among other
greasy things. Now, spinach with ham
costs more than plain spinach certain.
". and the roast veal with Its dressing
(Which meat gives hardly any nourish-
ment) came to more than a good steak
would.
It's decidedly q woman's business to
learn what Is most nourishing ut the
price for the members Of her family as
well as what they should eat to build
M their different weaknesses.

Mothers May Help the Child and

Now that 1t Is almost time for the
children to go back to school, it is
worth while making some effort to see
that they are comfortably equipped for
the business. Clothing may be planned
during the summer vacation. OF
changes of garments there should be
enough to keep the little ones neatly
and comfortably clad. Now that little
girls are again wearing aprons, store
Of these is useful, and If they are
made at home be sure that they have
ample pockets. Pockets are useful
places for tucking pencils or erasers in
moments Of surprise or excitement.
Even the most thoughtless little girl
will be able afterward to remember
that she slowed them away In her
pocket. Such small matters mean lit
tie to the home folks. but they bring
good or bad marks" to the little
scholar.

Well to Remember.

"You would be surprised to know
how many cases Of collie grow out OF
the baby's milk not being given to 1t
hot enough" said the nurse. "Give the
milk as hot to the child as you can
stand 1t squirted on your own arm.
Some lazy mother lets baby suck at
a cold bottle which has been left in the
crib. and then she wonders why she
has to walk the floor to silence It's
screams. Serves her right! Warm the
bottle piping hot every time and the
baby won't have any cramps"

frame. With fine metal ornament or
two and the addition of superb plumes
such hat could not be surpassed for
beauty and fitness. He added that
this season was expected to be a
notable one for the best qualities Of
best imitation.
Black silk in heavy and very rich
quality Is, l find, among the ma
terials now being made up for hand
sene fall gowns and coats to match.
There is a decided movement in favor
Of tight waists for all wooden outdoor
suits. The waists have basques or
coat to match. When this is made Of
the taffeta 1t is lined, and if for late
fall 1t is interlined. The coats Of wool
and silk, as we'll as those of velvet,
will be lavishly trimmed with the
beautiful new braids. The heavy
dresses and coats will have the thick
ribbed hercules or the heavy titan
or the fancy silk fiber castle braid.
This last Is in various colors, some
having metal threads to make them
brighter. They are woven with flow
ers on a white ground, with tiny but
tons or rosettes all around following
the design. There is scarcely a coat or
waist that has not some of this braid
along the front, while the dark and
heavier braids are placed upon the
skirt. These braids are considered
quite suitable for velvet garments, for
which 1t has always been difficult to
find suitable trimming.
Among the dress goods for early fall
there are some cheviots entirely novel
In weave. 1t would seem impossible to
Invent anything new in cheviot, but 1t
has been done. The weave Is finer
and f1rmer, and there Is new gloss to
It that brings 1t to absolute perfec-
ton. I saw some pretty fancies in
weaves Of different designs not to be
seen except under. changing lights.
These goods make up well, are uni
versally becoming, and they are prac-
tically indestructible. Black is really
the most elegant and is the garb Of the
gentlewoman, but there are many COL
ors, among them deep wine color, a
damson, a dark green, q navy and sew
eral shades in gray and brown. If
tailor finished, cheviot needs very lit
tie trimming; but, on the other hand, It
will carry any amount one may wish
70 put on it. Mohair goods are pretty
nearly out Of fashion now, which is
pity. x OLIVE HARPER. 1

"She has no ambition" heard a

inquired.
THAT isn't up to me-" the little wo-

lazy. 1t is the mothers province to
awaken interest and energy in them.
II the good work Is not done when

Favored with Il view of some Of the
very latest importations in the way Of
hats for early fall, l may say that
there is small difference from those
Of early summer. The new hats are
Of silk, straw, velvet and felt, and one
can choose for herself from all those
materials; but to my personal fancy
the thick straws are the prettiest,
although perhaps the weather In
auences me trifle. The soft and vel
vety felt, either white or some very
light pastel shade, trimmed in the
proper manner, is beautiful. The
faded shades In oil the velvet and
satin flowers provided for autumn are
very artistic and in the main beau
tiful when not put on in too heavy
masses. One or two large roses OF
shaded brown with tinge Of red and
yellow, with little silk, ribbon or vel
vet, make abundant trimming. The
shapes vary little from those of today,
and the particular angle at which they
are worn depends upon the woman's
own taste and the shape Of her face.
Some women look best with the hat
tilted backward, like the one with the
bow Of tan ribbon with narrow velvet
ribbon upon the ends. Another has
the front brought down closely over
the hair. with trimming Of shirred
brown silk which becomes a shirred
bow ut the back. Under the brim.
which Is much wider at the back than
in front, there is bunch Of dark
green silk velvet leaves and one large
shaded brown rose. The center one ut
the back is of thick white straw.
Feathers of every description will
plumes cover fully half of the center
hat below, and the rest is shades of
green satin ribbon and two large pink
roses, but the pink is shaded and
faded so that 1t seems to blend with
the other garnishing on the hat.
The enthusiastic girl has hat Of
white velvet felt, bent down all around
in an aggravated mushroom shape,
with absolutely no trimming on 1t but
a draped band Of rich dark green vel
vet. The last one is fiat shape in
leather colored felt, with ribbons Of
velvet, a short tuft Of shaded brown
feathers and very large brown rose
In front.
The importer told me that he did not
anticipate any radical change In
shape, but he expected that very many
elegant hats would be made Of rich
black and brown velvet shirred to a

basket must be small and put togeth-
er with ribbons or tapes SO that it can
be folded up and tucked into the desk
when not in use. A noiseless box Of
this sort for pencils, etc, to stand on
top of the desk may also be made. A
desk pad made from a stiff square or
oblong of cardboard and fitted at the
corners with tips Of chintz or burlap
is useful accessory to the school out

slipped underneath the tips 1t will
make neat desk cover, protect that
much abused piece Of furniture from
injury and deaden the sound from
dropped pencils or books which is SO
irritating in the busy schoolroom.

Got Rid Of His Companv.

A visitor at health springs was dis
inclined to sociability. After he had
been there few days a young woman
stopping at the same hotel took pity
on his seeming loneliness and tried
to engage him in conversation. After
few conventional remarks she asked
what had brought him to the springs.
"Fits," he replied confidingly-"fits.
And I'm so glad to make acquaint-
ances. for the doctor doesn't want me
to be alone. not even for two minutes"
The young woman disappeared, and
the unsociable man was bothered no
more.-Kansas City Star.

usually sad and downcast, we venture to sug'
gest that the observers did not even dream OIL
the cause. But yesterday the reason for their
lamentation was made clear. We noticed
that some excellent gentlemen from Homes
Path alighted from the cars at Abbeville
After one Of the party had spoken 10 Us, and
calling rs by name, We felt badly that we did
not recall his name. Standing near by with
one of our OWL citizens, when we san him
looking the other way, we asked his name.
He didn't know, but he said that tbs mRn
about whom we enquieed was OF q party OF
gentlemen from Anderson, who went fishing
on the avann once every year. We after
ward asked our acquaintance to give list OF
the names, but he said nothing which posi-
lively identified himself, but upon reflection,
we have set him down as Mr.. NJ. I. Brock OF
Homes Path. He put dow his companions
as Ed. knight, Neal knight, E. F. Arnold, M.
/. Brock, Marlin Arnold.
They all made for the 1880 Seaboard train,
and last night they slept on the ground near
the mighty river in which flourish the incest
shad and the biggest mouthed catfish.

men were carrying lunch, and We Inferred
that they expected to dine with or on fish the
sportive inhabitants Of the water.
AS soon as we can prevail on Congress TO
open up the river to navigation Of larger
crafts, we shall expect interested travellers, to
dine on flr6t class whales. At present, owing
to the boulders that fill the bottom Of the
river in shallow places, the stream Is utterly
unnavigable for whales and floating crafts of
larger dimensions than batteans or pole
boats.
Until Congress shall see proper to make the
river navigable the waters Of the Savannah
must be satisfied with the plain practical
work OF generating electricity BY which our
streets are lighted; and by which We BOW iron
our clothes, and by which We expect at an
early day to boil our coffee water and eook
our steaks.
The prosy work OF running machinery by
electric power will NO doubt continue and ex-
tend to other and newer Industries.
Unless Congress can find IL advisable to
open the river TO navigation, the proud wa
ters Of the Savannah must content itself TO
be q common laborer for the highest or the
lowest as occasion may require.
Imagine, II you can, the humiliation which
the proud and mighty waters Of the Savan-
nah must feel In taking the place OF cooks,
oil lamps, steam engines, dray horses. and
other hard workers.
Let Congress enquire II this humiliation Is
not unconstitutional.
