DEED

Had Tried to Murder a
Few Days Ago.

Taylorsville, Miss, June 19.-John
Barber, the negro desperate who shot
and seriously wounded John Burns
and his son about two weeks ago, re-
turned to the scene of his crime
Wednesday night and set fire to the
barn on the Burns farm, cremating a
horse that was tied in one of the
stalls.
The probable purpose of the negro
was to entice members of the family
to come outside in order that he
could complete the assassination that
failed of its purpose on the former at
tempt, Burns and his sons being on the
road to recovery. Neighbors were at.
tracted to the scene and the negro
made his escape. A large posse is
now securing the country, and he will
doubtless be sternly dealt with If cap

department.
For evening wear over cotton, silk
slips are to be found, effleurs, voiles,
cotton organizes, muslins dotted with
mercerized spots of all sizes. When

used for sleeves were slashed pieces
covered with the embroidery. A coat
was worn with this costume and the
cuffs and the fiat band collar was
ornamented with blue embroidery. A
tiny vest of blue velvet carried out
the color combination.
1t is not every one who can have a
filet lace dress of the silk variety,
but some of the new cotton nets that
are in imitation OF the filets, except
they are little closer in their weave,
make a very pretty dress for the
summer dance at the seaside or
mountain resort. There is a new
material called wool filet, which will
in all probability become popular, es-
pecially when autumn arrives. Miden-
cite is another material that makes
up well for evening gowns of all de-
scriptions, and like net, though a
coarser and heavier material, adapts
itself well to the draped and plated
and ruffled models. The cotton veil
ings are also in evidence for evening
gowns.

TEARS, LIKE ETHER,

French Scientist Says the Effect is to Deaden

the use of alcohol or drugs. When a
person cries the facial muscles con-
tract and the appearance of the face
changes, which action facilitates the
white blood letting, driving the blood
particles into the lachrymal gland,
from which they issue in the shape of
tears.
Children whose nervous system is
particularly tender, derive great ben
eft from crying occasionally. The act
of crying relieves their brain. The
same may be said with respect to wo-

The Professor likewise explains
why laughter sometimes produces
tears, but the explanation is too tech

The tear helps in this process which
benumbs the brain, for the time be-

embroidery. The fiat tucked sleeves
are very long, and lace frill falls
over the hands.
The other is in white liberty and
