George Washington Party.

Tuskegee. Feb. 24.-(Special.) )-One of the beautiful affairs of the social season was Mrs. James T. Hendon's at home, on Monday. February 22. The hospitable home was lovely with it's placing of palms and ferns. The George Washington idea was beautiful ly carried out in lovely detail.
 In the reception hall, white frezias, red and blue hyacinths were used. Above the prettily appointed tea table were two large flags. and upon the table was a medallion of George Wash ington. Tea and waters were served by Mrs. L. L. Conner, gowned in blue.
 In the parlor the color scheme was carried out with artistic effect. Silk flags were pinned upon the curtain and small hatchets were greatly in evil dence. Cut glass vases of white snow drops, and blue and red hyacinths lent fragrance to the room. Soft lights from red, white and blue candles in crystal candelabra~shed their glow over the happy scene. The score cards were portraits of George Washington. and were presented by the small daughter of the hostess. Nelle Grace, a lovely picture in white.
 After a number of exciting games of bid domino. Miss Winona Hill was found to have the highest score and was presented with a beautiful red, white and blue silk work bag. while the consolation, a small hatchet. was given Miss Hattie Holt. Delightful ices with cherries were served. small silk flag being placed on each plate as a souvenir.
 The guests were twenty-six in num- Der.

chased his first razor, upon inquiry as
to whether it should be dipped in hot
water before stropping, replied in the
negative. Similarly, n recommended
a rigid and another 9. flexible strop, ac-
cording to his own prediction. while
there was similar divergence of opin-
len as to whether stropping should be
a~carried out before or after use.
The professor, however, tried all
methods in turn, and thus was able to
select that which is undoubtedly the
best. He has found that the flexible
strop hung at oHe end by a nail, such
as the professional wielder of the razor
ordinarily resorts to, gives a strong
but not a fine edge, and that oil tends
to harden the surface of the strop I'M

RHpoR ZINC BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

Perhaps by the operation of he new law to compel prompt reports to the
public authorities Of births n deaths, the registry oil births will hereafter be
more fully kept. II all cases of death a certificate is required fol intrment. and
for that reason tho public record is supposed to be accurate There has been
great neglect by physicians and midwtves In the matter o certifying births and
therefore, the vita statistics are incomplete in that respect, the sam as in
marriages which chrgymen and magistrates fail to report. The new law makes

ted for the production of the requisite
keen edge. The preliminary INNER
sion In water Is a vital factor, since
razors possess a finer temper than or
binary cutting tools, and are proper
~tionately brittle. 1t is also expedient
that the strop surface should be pre-
served from the settling thereon of dust
particles, the presence of which, if of a
gritty nature, may break the delicate
edge of the tool. 1t Is important to
remember that the edge of a razor, be-
ing obviously of a much finer character,
owing to the nature of its work, than
other cutting tools. must receive
special attention, and by taking tc
heart the foregoing simple rules
many of the difficulties at present ex-
perienced may be effectively over
