much importance to horsemen was made

stand to the effect that Manager Hanks
would. during the week of July 4, 1872,
give a 4-days race meet on the Augusta
Driving park with Is stake races, each
for purse of $500.
The announcement is made thus early
in order that Mr.. Hanks may be protect
ed in his dates and that all fairs and
race track arrangements may guard
against selecting conflicting dates.

1t is quite true that flowers will
spring up anywhere and grow to per-

by Mother Natures gentle ministra-
tions of sun, soft airs and rain; and
there are many mothers who believe
that babies should be treated in some
thing the same way
Making sure that plenty of water
has been administered to insure
cleanliness, the small body Is left to
Mother Nature to do the rest in the
way of sunlight and soft airs.
This would be ali very well IL ba-
bies were in truth--as they seem
flowers; but the flower springs from
another flower and the weed, which
thrives as Justify by Mother Natures
aid, from another weed, and the flow
er is lovely because as 1t grows 1t full
fills the measure of its type.
Lovely as little child may be, It is
frequently a replica of older human
beings who are anything but perfect
in physical attributes. Family traits
of feature and figure have a way of
cropping out through successive gen.

YOUR FLOOR

From any hardware dealer who
sells paints and the like for interior
decorations you will be able to get
floor cleaner and filler. II you can
not bear this expense and have an
ugly floor to be treated you can have
the rough boards planed and fill the
wide cracks with paste made with
newspaper. Soak the paper In tub
of water until they are reduced to a
pulp. This takes from one to three
days. Macerate them and mix with
common -four starch in which some
glue is boiled II you have a thin
mixture you can add sawdust. This
is a medium smooth paste which can
be put into the cracks with the aid
of small trowel or steel knife.
Smooth the paste as evenly as posi-
BILE. In few days IL will dry. Then
give the entire floor coating of yell
low ochre or ground filler. It can be
purchased by the quart. II Is a dull
yellow when dry. When perfectly
dry cover the floor with floor yarnish
or use paint throughout without the
ochre. All directions can be OBJ
tanned from the dealer When boards
are of different width fill the cracks
and paint a solid color TO hide the de-
fects. DO not expect rough board
floor to look like one OF wexed hard
wood.

BY ALICE AILsWoRTH.

Modern life places upon us many
burdens, but no burden greater than
the ono of so-called amusement. Kept
up by false excitement, we go on and
on in the mad whirl, until bodies and
souls and minds are broken on tho
wheels OF gayety. Then some day
comes the reckoning OF poor health
and wearied spirits. Women are old
when they ought to be young, yet
they nervously pursue the things
that once brought enjoyment hoping
again for the brightness OF youth.
All of this might be avoided If We
while yet untouched by fatigue, would
form habits that would lead us into
wholesome manner OF living. We
can not burn the candle at both

OF women who play bridge in the
morning, who play bridge in the aft
ernoon, and who play bridge at night.
For at least one-half OF their waking
day they are In fever OF excitement.
Then breakdown comes and the doc
tor order them away for rest. Nine
times out of ten they refuse to go to
sanitarium, where massage and
baths and rest and enforced idleness
would work cure to their excite
ment-racked bodies. They plan
rather, 10 go to some resort. where
gayety reigns supreme. or they visit
! friends who entertain them from
morning till night with sightseeing
and other amusements. For a little
while the change brings better spirits
and better health. and my lady, who
has been burning the candle at botn
ends, feels that cure has been ef-
fected. When, however, she has been

on which to sharpen bread, meat and
chopping knives.
When vegetables with roots be-
come soft and withered, slice off one
end and lay in water for few hours.
II mixed with milk instead of wa
ter mustard will not get dry, but will
keep nice and fresh until 1t is all
used up.
A little vinegar put in the water
in which eggs are poached will keep
them white and prevent them from
spreading.
A good way to tell when ham is
fried enough is by the fat. When the
fat is brown (not burnt) the ham is
done.
II n pan smells OF onions boil 1t
out with tea leaves this will make IL
perfectly clean and sweet smelling

Burning oil is spread by water. To
extinguish IL throw down -four, sand
or earth. The idea is to prevent the
oils spreading.
When ironing colored garments
avoid a very hot iron, as too great
heat tends to fade the colors. Iron on

HOW TO WEAR JEWELS
BY EDNA EGAN.

elry Thus woman with light eyes
should never wear emeralds, as these
detract from the color and render the
eyes almost lifeless looking. on the
other hand, woman with dark eyes
seems to have increased a hundred
times in brilliancy. A fair woman
may wear pearls, moonstones, sap
phirea, opals, and the exquisitely
eolored beryl stone, while amethysts
are becoming to the woman with
warm lights of gold in her hair.
Dark women look best wearing ru-
bies, emeralds. garnets, jacinths, to-
PAGES, amber, and pink coral, but
sapphires should be left to the fair
women. Nearly all women can wear
diamonds, but she who has sallow
skin will be we'll advised not to wear
these stones unrelieved, Rubies and
diamonds look superb on dark wom-
an, while diamonds mingled with sap
phires are a charming mixture for
her whose skin is fair.

NEM Wells
BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

Filct nets, rose point lace, chantil-
ly, lierre and appliqued and embroid-
cred lace nets are the names of some
of the fabrics used for the made up
wells. These are all boydered at the
bottom and at the en,.5. and they are
draped curtain fashion about the
brims of the larger hats. The mesh
wells, which are worn closely over the
face and under the chin, are often in
two colors, black web over a flesh
tint producing becoming complexion
effect Blue net, heavily embroid-.
cred in black, is French effect of
considerable smartness, while there
are some black nets with edges in
Bulgarian embroidery-this in the
richest colors-which are dashing II
nothing else.
The pale brownish cream, called
champagne, will be tint much used
with light straw hats, but for mid
summer the popular veil will be white
net, dotted, figured or plain, and with
lace edge.
Never were chiffon wells for mo-
toring, travelling, boating and driving
more beautiful than now. They are
even longer than ever, and, along
with the richest colors, there are bor--
ders in satin stripes or pompadour
flower designs. A chiffon veil, shad-
ed in opalescent fashion, is an ex-
pensive French novelty that would be
worn with n delicate lingerie dress
or handsome white coat. But as
a matter of fact many OF these vast
chinon wells will be as much used for
sa1rls as for shrouding the hat and
face. for they lie most beautifully
about the shoulders of thin dinner
and tLeater frocks, and when in some
unusual color, such as one of the new
dazzling shades of red, they seem
costly flxings, however inexpensive
they may be. Nevertheless, SIS is
about the most modest price asked for
handsome chiffon veil, especially if
IL is In an unusual color.
Wells for second mourning are CO.

effects in English Grape being used at
the edges of the face wells in black

cum set for mourning comes with
matching veil French set seen
showing a veil OF white brussels net,
with a tiny fold OF white Chinese
Grape above narrow fringe at the
bottom. Nuns yelling Is still the
drapery for the widows first bonnet,
but the new wells in this material are
gossamer fine, and instead OF the
usual woven border they sometimes
show three deep tucks at the bottom.
ConceTsing these wells, and any hand
some ones for use In color, they are

FOR "A
DARK ROOM

No one wants gloomy room, but
what to do with such a room is a
problem that has bothered more than
one.
Manya woman has foregone inside
curtains to allow all the light possi-
BILE to come into the room, but stiliiit
looks dreary. II Is not so much the
light that one needs as the sunshine
and when this can not be had one
must make 1t. or rather get the eff
feet OF II.
A room with northern aspect
should not, of course, be papered In
blue or some such color but rather
in rich, warm tones of olive, green,
brown, red or yellow.
If the room gets but little light and
sunshine yellow should be the choice,
Not only should one have yellow
on the walls. but also on the ceiling
for the sake or the reflection.
A pretty treatment is to have a
light pumpkin yellow on the walls as
far as the picture molding and q
Fighter shade above this and on the
,ceiling. Then yellow silk sash cur
talns, pulled back, tend to make q
room sunny,
Brass can make wonderful differ
lence to dreary room.
A large jardeniere with plant II

Ien up most marvelously.

lphasized.

coufQ one hundred and fifty years
ago.
We\have twenty million work
ers In \America, which are equal
to the work of one billion, six
hundred million, one hundred
years ago. Here we find a vast
increase in the production of
wealth. To use this wealth for
human good and not pauperize
tn eworkers is the problem that
confronts us.
To limit the production OF
wealth because some one misuses
wealth would be on par with
limiting health because some one
had laughed out loud at meeting.
Don't be afraid that any one is
going to take his wealth with him
when he dies. Also don't be
afraid that he can tie it up so 1t
will not bless and benefit man
kind. The unfit are always dis
trlbutlng III ana kliilhs 'heh-
selves in the process.
The evil in the trust it not in
its success. 1t is three-fold:
First, corruption of public Off
cials to obtain special privileges
denied to competitors; second,
the consequent oppression OF the
competitor and the consumer;
third, watering of stock and then
extorting excessive profits to pay
dividends on such stock.
These evils the law must cure
without destroying cooperation

working to this end.-Elbert

Shipping Hogs

ID. A.. Jones of Fluvanna passed

70 Fort Worth with a car of fifty
two hogs. These hogs were rails
ed and fattened principally on
crushed Maize and Kaffir corn
and they will weigh from $50 10
500 pounds. This is an industry
that has not been pushed in the
past. During good crop years
there is sufficient grain wasted
that IL utilized in the raising OF
hogs would bring thousands and
thousands of dollars into the
country. Hogs can he raised
