HOMELY CHILDREN.

Often Develop Into Beauties When tbs
Face Is Fully Grown.
Let no parent despair Of a plain
child. Beauty so far from being "skin
deep" largely depends upon the proper
ton between the different parts Of the
face, and this depends upon their rate
Of growth. Before boys voice breaks
he may have a very defective chin, a
serious blemish for our ideal Of manly
beauty. But that chin may be destined
10 grow just when the boys beard be-
gins to grow and may transform him
I saw the other day an old school fel'
low whom I could scarcely recognize,
so vastly improved was he since his
young boyhood by the acquisition OF
that chin which anatomists tell Us Is a
popularity (and therefore beauty OF
our species. Robert Southey was de-
scribed by his nurse as great ugly
boy" when he was born, but he grew
to be so handsome that Byron said ne
would be almost content to father
Southey's poetry If he might have it's
authors head and shoulders.
I cannot say what percentage Of ugly
children turn out handsome later IN
life, but certainly many do partly be-
cause in earlier life the various parts
Of the face have developed at some
what unequal rates and partly because
Of the influence Of another factor OF
beauty, in which Southey was rich.

CAUSED SURPRISE HERE.

Governor Blease's action in fixing the
date for the election in the lst district
as April %, whereas the State execu-
tive committee had fixed the date for
the primary as May 81, caused general
surprise in Charleston. 1t is the gener-
al belief here that the result of the
Governors action will be to do away al
togel her with primary in connection
with the race for Cong ressman. since 1t
is DOT considered likely that the execu.
tive committee will a1raucs the date OF
the primary, even if it is in sny way
possible to do this under the law. The
law requires that the rolls in Charles
ton county must be fled with the audi
tor sixtv DAYS in- advance Of the pri-
mary. and if, as be held by some, a
complete new enrolment is required. ii
would hardly be possible TO hold the
primary in less than ninety davs from
the day on which il was ordered.
Private Secretary Aull gave as one
reason for Governor Blease's action the
Governors belief that the lst district
should have representation in Congress
as soon as possible Opinion in Charles
ton seems TO be divided on the question
whether or not the Importance of early
representation is sufficient TO outweigh
the desirability of selecting the Demo-
cratic nominee by the regular and pre-
scribed method, that is, through the
holding Of primary.
Chairman Henry W. Conner, of the
Charleston county executive commit
tee, stated last night that in his opinion
every effort ought to be made to hold a
primary he stated that all the persons
Interested ought to get together and
open up the situation so that primary
cuu d o- held Mr. 'Cnnner stated that
b. would do his best 10 bring this about.

CURIOUS BURIAL CUSTOM.
The PiseonhoIe Tonnbs In Use In the
Cemeteries Of Spain.

The Piaeoni1oIe Tornbs In Use In the
Cemeteries of Spain.
A rather curious and to our ideas
somewhat unp!easirk custom obtains
In Spanish cemeteries: All around the
burying ground a building is erected
whose design can only be compared to
that Of a nest Of pigeonholes, often
seen in postofices and similar insttu-
tons. Each pigeonhole is q tomb.
When a person dies his relatives hire
q rigeonhole for FIVE years, and the re-
mains are placed inside. The end is
then sealed up with mortar and me-
mortal tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease Of the pigeonho!e may be
renewed at the end Of the FIVE years,
but if it is allowed to expire the tomb
is unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant
Needless to say. the plan has some
good points. The space taken up by the
"pigeonhole cemetery" is comparative
" small, as is also the cost Of burial.
Picturesqueness is, however, consplcu-
ously absent, nor is sentimental grief
catered for. as it would be impossible
to 60 and mourn at the grave Of per-
son buried in a pigeonhole so high up
that a ladder was needed to reach it.
To such as prefer the old fashioned
graves the central space of ground is
offered, but the pigeonholes are the
most popular.-Wide World Magazine.

A LOOK OF TERROR.
How Artist Holder Posed His Model
to Secure It.

How Artist Holder Posed His Model
to Secure It.
Ferdinand Holders picture "Das
Mutige Web" the courageous Woman)
has been much discussed in art circles,
especially in Switzerland, the home of
the artist.
The look Of terror on the woman's
face is lifelike. The story Of how the
artist got the facial effects, depicting
fright and determination, Is as follows:
Four models came to his studio to
sit for the picture. He asked them In
turn to wear an expression such as
they would have on jumping into a
ufeboat from a sinking ship in storm.
Not satisfied with the results, he took
them up to the fat loaded root OF his
house, which is FIVE stories high, and
placed a chair on the extreme edge.
The poor models were dreadfully
frightened, and each in turn sat wide
eyed on the forward edge Of the chair,
too nervous to look In any direction but
straight forward.
The artist chose one of the women
and took up his easel and rapidly
sketched in the face and upper part of
the figure. though not at all too rapidly
for the sitter.-Munich Cor. New YORK

GOVERNOR STANDS BY ACTION.

Columbia, February 23.-Special !:
"Mr Aull explained my reasons per-
tectly, aud I stand by what he said,'
was the comment of Governor Blease
to-day when asked if there was anything
further to give out in the matter OF the
date for the general e!eclioo to chose
the Consres>man from the lSt district.
The story, carried exclusively by The
Sunday News. stating that Governor
B!ease had ordered the general election
for April %, this being nearly one
mouth ahead OF the date set by the
State Dem cratic executive committee,
May q, for the primary to select the
Democratic nominee for Congress from
tbas district. created much interest
here and Ghroug houL the State.
People are spr culatiug on what will
be done. Ali are agreed that the prl-
mary will either have " be abandoned
or else the State committee called to-
gether TO select a date in advance of
April %. The situation is interesting,
t., say the least and some are suggest
ing that a convention had better be
held to select the Democratic nominee.

that section are noted for being law
abiding, and for opposition to mob
violence, yet a lynching occurred but
short distance from this peaceful
town and on account of an attack upon
one of it's young white citizens. The
facts as we learned them are about as
follows: Joseph ". Minis, Jr., d son

Victor Hugo's opinion on the Quesoon
Of life beyond the grave was a remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in a future world. He
WAS equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluyian times.
when the Creator placed him on earth
he believed that he would exist for
ever, inasmuch as he felt in his soul
thousands Of hymns, dramas ana po-
ems that had never found expression
When the atheists would say to him.
THE proof that you will not exist ID
the future Is that you did not exist IN
the past" Hugo would answer:
"Who told you ! did not exist IN the
past centuries? You will say that IS
the legend Of the ages. The poet mas
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ

The Story of Ghost With Troubled
Conscience.
The following we'll authenticated
ghostly happening is recorded in Jessie
Adelaide Middleton's 'The Grey Ghost
Book"
A lady had taken a furnished house
In Suffolk. England. from a widow who
had lately lost her son. One day she
was sitting in the draw wing room when
the figure Of a boy Of about thirteen
walked across the room, halted oppo-
site table on which was some china
and began to weep bitterly. When she
got up and hastened toward the boy to
comfort him he at once vanished. As
the same thing occurred repeatedly, the
lady wrote to the owner Of the house.
seeking for some explanation. This
was her answer:
"Will you kindly search the table
with the china ornaments on it, and If
you find sixpence in any Of them put 1t
into the poor bag in church? gave
him sixpence to put in the bag the last
Sunday he went to church:s and instead
Of putting it in he kept it to spend. he
told me about it before he died. but l
did not know where he had hidden It. >
The tenant searched and found the
sixpence in a little china jug. She put
it into the poor bag-and was never
again visited by the apparition.

PROBABLY MEANS NO PRIMARY.
State Chairman Evans Comments on Cover
uor's Action.


Spartanburg, February 2S Special:
John Gary Evans. chairman of the Dem
ocratic State executive committee, said
today that in view Of the fact that Gov
ernor Blease had fixed date for the
election of Congressman in the 1st
district to succeed the late George s.
Legare, nearly month in advance of
the date appointed for the Democratic
primary ell ction, there would probably
be no primary, and the Democratic
party would have no regular nominee.
MIR. Evans referred to the Governors
action as ''some Of his meauness." Mr..
Evans was strongly of the impression
that April 81 had been fixed as the date
for the primary. When assured that it
was Nav q, he said that at oil events
the executive committee had fixed q
date as early as the law allowed. The
law required, he said, that sixty davs
should be given Charleston for the
preparation of the club rolls. He said
that Governor Blease was informed in
writing of the date appointed for the
primary BY the secretary OF the execu-
tive committee.
