•‘Autumnal Reflections,’' by the
Village Dressmaker, from the New
York Life:
“The western sky has trimmed its
skirts with ruffles all the way,
And bias stripes of salmon-pink and
heliotrope and gray;
And then, to make it worse, has fin
ished off its yellow waist
With pipings made of turkey-red, in
very shocking taste.
'The autumn leaves, like polka dots,
are lying on the ground,
■ ’The flower-beds of calico are withering
all around;
The purple velvet pansy and the
frumpy-leaved old rose,
When night goes into mourning will
probably be froze.
The sun tucks up bis orange-satin
quilt about his head.
And stuffs his ears with cotton-batting
clouds and goes-to bed;
While the cock and hen on the wooden
fence their feathers flirt and shake,
As they dream about the boas which their
tails will some day make.”
The weeks’ crowning and closing
event, was the farewell german given
by Prof. Northcutt at the Armstrong,
•Friday evening. It was gracefully
led by Prof. Northcutt and Miss Wal
ker, and Barry Cothran and Miss May
Beth Sullivan. Before the german,
two fancy dances were gracefully ex
ecuted by Miss Bessie Hight and Miss
Addie Wright.
Two of the sweetest figures in the
german were Miss Mabel Harbour in
blue accordion pleat, and Miss Bes
sie Hight in pink. Miss Featherston
wore a handsome white satin evening
gown that enhanced ber rare blonde
beauty. Miss Sullivan who is re
markable for her rare taste in the se
lection of ber costumes, wore a dainty
p nk silk, slashed with bonsai men
tive. The hours waned and still the
merry dancers were lost in the se
ductive waltzes but the we sma’ hours
aroused the chaperones Mrs. H. Yan
cey, Mrs. John Montgomery, Mrs. JM.
D. Gailliard and others, and reluc
tantly the enchantment was broken.
Those dancing were Barry Cothran,
Miss Sullivan; James O’Neill, Miss
Featherston; Edward West, Miss Yan
cey; C. Bayard Seay, Miss Flo Seay;
Wade Lowry, Miss Lula West; Sam
Hardin, Miss Thomas; Vassar Pat

The bazaar to be given the first
week in December increases in inter
est as the attractions increase, and

useful presents for sale. The young
ladies are being assigned to booths,
and pretty soon we will be able to
give a complete list of booths and

The Daughters of the Ameiioan Revo
lotion met with Mrs. Rowell on Thurs
day afternoon. Nov. 11. Mrs. Rowell is a

auoh ancestry.
The chapter of the D. A. R. is among
the very few in the United States that

its members a real daughter of a Revo
lutionary soldier, Mrs. Irwin, of Rock
mart.
The new regent, Mrs. Nevin called
the meeting to order. Mrs. RoweU read
the minutes, which are al way* enter
taining and they were particularly so
on this occasion as she touched up each
new officer in her own inimitable way.
There were several communications
read on “Laws and By Laws” urging
the strict adheranoe of those laid down
by the N. C. A memorial to Mrs. Irwin
was read by Mrs. McGhee, setting forth
the womanly virtues and Christian
graces of this most estimable lady.
A copy was giveu to Mrs. Montgom
ery. Mrs. Irwin’s daughter, who was
present, one copy kept in the chapter,
and one sent to ‘ ‘The American
Monthly.”
A very lively discussion followed on
co-education. Much was said for it—no
argument was sustained against it.
That the women of Georgia might
have the faculties for higher education
within their own state was hoped for.
A paper was read at the Federation
of clubs at Rome, Ga. when it was
stated there were 380, women from
Georgia persuing studies at Northern
colleges.
A committee composed of Mesdames
Wood, Eastman, and Haynes were ap
pointed to get up an- entertainment.
Mrs. McGhee very kindly offered the
use of her home. With such ladies in
charge we have much to look forward
to, in the way of an entertainment.
Delightful refreshments were served
by Misses Mattie and Bessie Rowell.

happiest recollections of the conven

recently had as her guest her mother,

A Great Natural Curiosity.
A perfect face of a delicate Jewish
cast was discovered in a small stone
about as large around as a 10 cent piece
found lying on the railroad grade near
Junction City, Ore, Not only’are the
brow, hair, oeard and beautiful aquiline
nose perfectly shaped and distinct on
the etone, but the neck and shoulders
are vignetted off into the delicate agate
like tracery of the background as it
would have been done by an artist.
Not only is the face as delicately beau
tiful in line as one stamped upon a
Greek coin of the reign of Alexander,
but in this stone are reproduced the col
.ors of life. The face is white, with a
blending of flesh tones, growing deeper
in the shadows of the neck and shoul
ders. The hair in the dark shadow at
the back is a rich auburn, just the colo’i
associated most often with the ascot!.
Jewish type to which the whole sac..
belongs. It is perhaps the strangest pan
of this extraordinary coincidence of
forms that each feature, from the cav
ernous eye and delicate hollowed cheek
to the high, narrow brow and wavy
auburn hair, is in accord with a famil
iar type of the Christ. In this respect
the Oregon stone is infinitely superior
as a work of nature’s art to the “Stone
Man of Sorrows,’’ about which a book
was published in London. This head,
in a stone a little larger than the recent
discovery, was picked up at Oboram
mergau as a mere casual memento of the
spot, because of its associations with the
passion play, and eight years afterward,
being held in a certain position, wa>.
seen to reveal the face that was some
what sentimentally supposed to resem
ble the face of Christ.—Boston Tran
script.
When Man Is Dangerous*
It is a singular fact, yet one substan
tiated by statistics, that most crime is
committed in New York by men 29
years old. This is not only true of the
lesser, but also of the greater crimes, al
though a man is presumed to be at that
period of bis life not only in the zenith of
his physical powers, but also in full
and complete possession of his' mental
strength, with a complete appreciation of
right and wrong and their respective
consequences. This condition is a prob
lem which has not been solved by the
student of criminology, and one which
is made the more complex by the fact
that the ages of 21. .27 and 45 years
nearly equal it, with the intervening
years showing a far less percentage of
crime.
It is indeed peculiar that the crim
inal tendency should be so strong at 29,
with no such inclination, so far as crim
inal statistics show, in as great a degree
for the succeeding 1G years and then
another outburst of the animal in man.
/This condition is found to be true by
actual figures, and as all statistical com
putations at which average conditions
are sought to be determined are arrived
at by this method, so may the student
of this subject as well as the insurance
magnate who bases his rates on the gen
eral average of losses tn proportion to
the risks taken, and does so with full
safety, employ it in solving the problem
before him.—Chicago Times-Herald.
Manifest Destiny.
“Charley!’’ exclaimed young Mrs.
Tor kins."
“What is it?” inquired her husband,
as the newspaper slid from his startled
grasp.
"1 have thought it all Out ”
“1 don’t know what you are talking
about. ”
“The baby’s future. You know how
important it is to watch a child and see
what his bent is, so that you can get
him started on the right road in life."
“Yes, but isn’t our baby rather
young?”
“The younger the better. There is no
telling how early character may begin
to be molded. You may thank me for
taking a great responsibility off your
mind. You needn’t worry about his
avocation any more.”
“And what, may 1 inquire, do you
propose to make of him?’’
“A grand opera singer. ”
“You’re going to let him go on the
stage?’ ’
“I think that when nature especially
fits any person for some particular call
ing it is dangerous and wrong to com
pel him to do something else ’’
“How do you know lie is fitted for
grand opera?”
“ Because every time he opens his
mouth be yells at tne top of his voice
and you can t understand a word he
says.”—Washington Star

One would think the 12 apostles were
rich gentlemen, judging by the freedom
with which the ancients assigned them
emblems in the way of precious stones.
Thus Peter. the Rock, was represented by
the hard jasper Andrew was given the
blue sapphire as the emblem of Ip even
ly faith Bartholomew, the martyr,
was assigned the blood red carnelian;
James, the affectionate, the white chai
cedon, and the gentle, loving John the
emerald. With the same view to fitness,
James the younger was assigned the
topaz, and the enthusiastic and energet
ic Matthew the amethyst, while the
chrysolite was the emblem of Matthias;
the beryl. Thomas; the chrysophrase,
Thaddeus, and the pink hyacinth, Sim
eon of Cana. To the present day the em
blem of Matthew is the sacred stone or
namenting cross and pastoral ring of
the Roman Catholics.—Pittsburg Dis
