ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep and improves
the Complexion.

4
l advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in.
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took ii
each night Of his life as long as he
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty 60
ing. 1t is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half small coffee
spoon of tea, and you scatter it in
the bottom of a very large cup.
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bnbbling wa
ter as the cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the top
Of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now
comes the big wadded tea coy,
which must be thrown over all. It
is an oddly shaped coy, made to
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands for
five minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part of
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and You lay them
in a big hot cup. On top Of the
slices of lemon you place a big
maraschino, and then on top Of all
YOU pour in the tea, putting it
through a strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak,
hot. but healthful cup Of tea with
Just the right flavor of lemon. You
can have sugar If you want it, and
Gladstone's rule of three big Jumps
viii do You no harm, for sugar is a
great builder up of the muscles.
BY the way, if YOU are tagged out,
day or night. try eating little
sugar. A lump Of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t mas way Of building up
tissue.
A big cup Of tea at night is ex-
cellent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same is true
Of coffee, which, If taken weak
enough and with plenty of good
sugar. acts as a nightcap. Not one
per On in a thousand can make it
right. In Paris the French beauty
takes her foaming cup Of whipped
chocolate after the theater with a
biscuit, or she sips her cafe au lait,
which is mostly milk. = London

The Court Painters.

"a movement was on foot for
the alliance Of King Charles Of
Wurttemberg and the Grand Ouch
ess Olga Of Russia" said an artist.
IAN cmissary Of the Russian court
came to the young king, laid certain
proposals before him and submitted
portrait In oils Of the royal lady.
King Charles, after close scrutiny,
said.
"This portrait fatters over
much. The eyes are too large and
brilliant, the hair too abundant, the
complexion too nowerlike and the
neck and arms too beautiful Alto

"But, your majesty said the as
tonished Russian, you do not know

As He Would Have Them.

A dispatch from. Cincinatti
says twenty-thousand Methodists
in Cincinnati will try, during the
the last two weeks of March, to
live as did Christ. They will do
their best to make their lives as
nearly like the example that He
set as they can.
That means that all Of them
will try to wipe from their hearts
anger and jealousy and substitute
love; they will try to follow the
Golden Rule. The business man
will attempt to find out where
his business morals can be i'm
proved and the clerk will study
himself to discover whsther he
is giving his employer the best
that is in him; the workman will
search in his heart to find out if
he is truly loyal to his job. while
his employer will see what he
can do to improve the workman's
condition.
This sort of a thing has become
quite a fad among Church people
in Ohio and elsewhere. Some
weeks ago a similar movement
was on at Cleveland, we believe.
It's all very well provided it is
something more than a fad. The
doctrines of Christianity require
the followers of the Master to
try to live as He lived every day
Of their liues, not for two weeks
or a month; and if these move
ments result in putting his teach
ing into practical effect every
day in the year. they will be
worth while. = Statewide Land

DEATH OF FORMER STUDENT.
Mr.. VS.. lVey Died al His Home In
LenlOr.

MI. I. .. Uty uieu d. MS nome II
LenlOr.
The following account of the
death Of Mr.. v. S. Ivey, a for.
mer student of Trinity College,
is from the Chronicle Of this
week:
News reached here yesterday
morning that Mr.. V. S. Ivey, Of
Lenoir, who was for two years q
student in this college, a member
of the present Junior class, was
dead, The telegram came to Mr..
Phil ]. Johnson, a townsman Of
Mr.. Ivey's and former roommate,
Mr.. Johnson left on the morning
train for Lenoir where the burial
takes place this afternoon.
Mr., Ivey spent one year here
and returned last fall to take up
his work with his class. Just be-
fore Christmas his health began
to decline, and his physicians
advised him to leave college for a
while and try to regain his
strength. From that time until
death, with the exception OF a
few weeks, he was in hospitals in
this and other States. He grew
but little better, and after being
brought from distant State
where he received the attention
of one Of the best surgeons Of the
country. he lived but a short while,
dying at his home in Lenoir
yesterday morning.
The community is very much
saddened at the death of one who
was SO much liked at this place.
He was a very popular student,
and very faithful. He held a
large place in the confidence of
his teachers and fellow students.
He was steady student, and
showed signs of success. Though
Of rather quiet disposition, he
built up a large circle Of friends
and admirers in the community,
and he grew in popularity all the
time. He will be missed here by
all who knew him as a member
of the community.
As soon as the announcement
was received here yesterday the
flag in front of Cravan Memorial
Hall was placed at half mast where
remained throughout the day in
honor Of one who was so greatly
esteemed here.

Good School Houses.

The people of the county should
see to it that their school houses
are properly furnished with good
wood, a suitable shelter for same,
that the floors, windows and seats
are comfortable. The schools of
this county and common country
have been of little service COM
paratively to the children for the
reason that no accommodations
suitable have been offered. In
most instances; you take the ordi
nary man and he would almost
freeze to death in a day in most
any school house of the country.
He would not learn anything
there yet he allows his children
to fool away their time to keep
warm and running the risk all the
time of contracting pneumonia,
consumption, rheumatism and
many other diseases.
There ought to be a law requir-
ing each county to have a school
committee whose duty it is to
make plans and specifications for
school houses and in case a COM
munity refused to build the prop
er kind OF school, at least a house
that is reasonably comfortable,
that they have no school at all.
A child had much better grow up
with a strong body and be igno-
rant that to have a little learning
and no physical constitution.

THE DEBTS WE OWE.

The attitude a man maintains
towards his financial liabilities is
a sure indication OF his cbarac-
ter. IL he is worried and anxious
about how and when he can meet
his bills, il is safe to set him
down as one who will make
strenuous effort and PERSONAL
sacrifices to cancel obligations,
financial or otherwise. II he is
complacently indifferent to the
rights OF his creditors, and I'M.
mindful of their convenience or
inconvenience, you may set him
down in the doubtful, long-pay
column, and avoid him as the
leprosy. il you desire peace OF
mind from n business standpoint.
II a man is cheerful and Jolly
over his debts, and impudent to
his unfortunate creditors, place
him in the column Of irresponsi-
bles, for his conscience has been
entombed with his honor, and
nothing short of a miracle vii
. resurrect it.
