The Southern Woman. After the lapse of a auatter of a century, that gracious growth ha* reached an appreciable *ixe and beau ty; through the feaiful ordeal of suf fering unknown to the casual observ er or reader, the Southern woman has emerged Into the nobler conditions of her present existence. The softness and ease of her former 1"e, Its assured pro tection and the tender deference that surrounded It, were, perhaps, u trifle enervating to character; the affection* flourished at the expense of tho intel lect; the delight of ‘'being" was mote present than the necessity of "doing"; the whole nature ran to vine, secure of always finding a strong support up on which to cling and beautify. But with home and friends and wealth swept away by one tremendous cataclysm, the lovely, clinging, creature was left either to trail helplessly upon the ground or perish there, or to devel op new fibre, new roots, new powers of self-support; and the heroic treat ment has borne its ftuit, the terrible struggle has given birth to the child of promise: perhaps it is but a survival o" the fittest: perhaps more have per ished in the ordeal than tve cere to count; but it is past, and w a look about us with pride at some of its otmoug results. The fittest are indeed "vary fit •’ ssihe Englishman has It.

Crosse* {From the German Empress For 35 Years of Service. Think of It! It Is not so very un common a thing in Germany for a set vant girl to remain in the employ of one family 'or forty y«ar«. In such cases. When the fortieth year is reach ed, the girl gets a golden cross from Empress Augusta Victoria. Last year twelve dozens of these crosses were distributed. Only one went to a Berlin domestic. It speaks as well for the mistress as for the maid, when the latter turns forty yeats In her em ploy. Curtains of Summer Silks. "What shall I do with all my sum mer silks?" asked a young girl the other day, who had not had a practical education. "Do what I am doing," she was an swered by her more practical compan ion. "Make curtains for your room.' And so she proceeded to explain to her friend that all her old summer silks .and even those of her mother and sister, had been ripped up. cleaned and pressed, and laid out on the bed for inspection. With an eye to color and effect, she chose out the ones which went well to gether and tho shades and tints tvblch blondeu. These she cut in strips, broad and narrow, as her material would al low, sewed them together In lengths aooordtr.g to the length of her curtains.

Side Splitting Farce Presented Last Evening Willie Cotllpr appeared in "The Man front Mexico" at at the Grand last eve ning before a laige and representative audience of Augusta theatre goers. He filled the role to perfection and waa given good support by the entire com pany, making one of the best shows seen In the city for many days. The comedy IS full of wit and humor, and the dry way in which Collier made hia side-splitting remarks Taught the house ftom start to finish. The manager stated last evening that the same company will probably play in August* again this season, and if th y do they will certainly have a house rately equalled. A show as good aH "The Man from Mexico,” deserves good support, and we await the return of the company with pleasure.

The people of the town of Newton, 'county seat of linker county, are talk ing about a mysterious robbery that oc curred In the town a few nights ago and Its remarkable denouement.

A graceful carriage of the bead god an erect figure are point* of beauty which no woman can afford to over look# Pnllke other feature*, aurb as the shape of the face .the color of the hair and the site of the hands and fret, these peculiarities are' within the power of every woman to control as she pleases. One sometimes »ee* an otberwire beautiful young woman who guet along with bead I rent forward In a manner suggesting a turtle looking out of He shell, and provoking the thought at once that she ha* lo*t and is looking for something. Nothing Is Isas pleating than an awkward car riage of the head. Every girl should cultivate the habit of holding up her ; chin. A flat hack, a well poised head and a graceful way of walking make the difference between a girl who has style and her friend who 1* clumsy and awk ward. One should not overlook the advantage of drill. It I* only neces f.ary to think of the soldier In the awkward squad. Compare him with the man who has undergone some months of rigid training and you will be convinced that freedom and grace of movement arc to be had by those only who are willing to work for them. Where a girl can dolly take exer cise in a gymnasium, she may train her muscles so that they will obey her will, but better than this indoor train ing is that which one has who w-ulkii a great deal in the open air, plays golf and tennis, or often rows a boat across a pond or river. Another point of beauty, needless to say. is complexion. This too is within Ihe reach of every girl who, first of all. endeavors to maintain a high standard of health. Pure blood has everything to do with a clear skin, therefore one should be careful of her diet, avoiding unwhole some and indigestible food, but taking care to eat a due proportion of meat, not omitting a little fat every day. and regularly making fruit a part of he diet. Tea and coffee should be sparingly used by the young woman who would have a beautiful skin. Every day. very thorough bathing and scrubbing ; with a crash towel are essential, and the face once a (lay should be cashed with hot water and a lather made of a delicate toilet soap. This should lie thoroughly rubbed into the akin, cleansing the pores of the fine dust which clogs their lace like texture, i The face should be carefully ringed and wiped with a soft towel. The beet time to do this is at night before retiring. Given sufficient exercise, good food, regular bathing and plenty of sleep, OCTOM It $T J there Is no reason why • wo** ihouM not preserve the freahne** of her rkln unimpaired from childhood o old age. Not only the beauty of the skin, but the gioas and the abundance of tb# hair the brightness of the eye*, and the aheen of the teeth, all are depend ent on the circulation, which 1* pro rooted by healthful lt**ng. Well shaped band* and feet have alwaya been regarded as distinctive marh* of beauty. While one cannot regulate the site of tbeae members, she ran al ways have her hand* and nail* a ell cared for and her feet neatly drtwsed. A woman who I* well gloved and well shod makes a eiedliable appearance, •ven If the reat of her (Ires* be some what shabby. If one has not very much money to spend on her costume, let her not Invest so much In her gown and wrap comparatively as she does In fine, well fitting shoes .In gloves of pood quality and color to suit her dress, and In a tasteful hat. The ex tremities give tone to the toilet. Harper's Bazar. Attention is called to the advertise ment of the People’s Fish company, enumerating a tempting list of edible* and all kinds of fish.
