FRANKLIN COUNTY REGISi V BY ELLEN J. DORTCH DOLLS' WIGS OF REAL HAIR. A New Industry to Meet tho Demands of Children of Means. A new industry lias sprung up on Fifth avenue. It is the manufacture of real wigs for dolls out of real hair, made bet¬ ter than many real wigs and sold at prices that proclaim them to be genuine. The place takes up the whole first floor of a big house. The dolls’ wigs are only rn incident to the business. The first dolls’ wigs were made this year. The, head of the firm told about the way lie happened to start making them: “For several years I have had calls for dolls’ wigs from ladies whose children had tom the hair from dolls they were much attached to. This season I began to make them, and I have received far more orders than I had expected. Here ia a doll that has been sent over to Phila¬ delphia for its second wig.” The proprietor took the reporter to a counter where lay a beautiful doll about two feet high, %ith ball and socket joints and a pink complexion except where the paint had worn off. On its head was a real wig of light blonde hair with a fluffy bang ' ont and French twist curls 'behind. The hair seemed to be glued to the head, yet the wig came right off. It was as neat a job and fitted as well as if the wig maker had manufactured it for a human head. It cost only $12. “It is becoming quite common, ” con¬ tinued the mistress of the store, “for a doll to have two or three wigs. They are got up in all styles, like the wigs of a fashionable actress, only smaller. They are just as well made and just as valua¬ ble in proportion. * The hair is dressed by the little girl that owns the doll, and it gives her knowledge and experience that will be useful. Two or three wigs in different styles give the little girl a chance to develop her own ingenuity in arrang¬ ing hair. By the old way dolls’ hair was made of Angora wool and was glued to their heads. It was not liko real hair and it could not be dressed. It tore off and that was the end of it. “Dolls’ wigs cost from $7 to $25. The $7 wigs are for child dolls and have short curls like a little child’s. The most costly wigs are light shades of hair. light shades of blonde hair cost three times as much as brown hair. Some dolls have light and dark wigs, which can be changed to match the doll’s dress. A doll that had a wig made for it last week had just got $150 worth of winter clothing. You can get a shade of wig to match any dress. “So far I have had orders for no red or gray wigs. They will probably come in time. The latest tiling in dolls is boy dolls. We have made several boy wigs. A little girl out for a walk takes her big boy doll with her. Or she may take a girl doll and put a boy’s wig and clothes on and take it out. There is getting to be a rivalry among families to see who has the best and most fully dressed dolls. It is becoming proper for a little girl to be escorted by her doll when she goes out to take a walk, and of course the doll must be dressed in harmony with her dress. I don’t know what this fashion for doll will end in, but the trade in dolls’ wigs is rapidly increasing. So far, I believe, I am the only manufacturer. It takes a workman two days to make a doll’s wig, and a brisk trade in dolls’ wigs will make work.”—New York Sim. » Meissonier'* Range of Vision. Apropos of pictures I am reminded of what Alexander Dumas, “fils, ” recently said of the way in which Meissonier paints by way of accounting for his use of such circumscribed canvases, “Meissonier is not exactly near sight ed ” says Dumas, “but his range of Tision is limited. By a curious idiosyn cracy of his visional organs he is unable to take in more than a very limited ex tent of space at a single glance. Thus, where other wonderful people see by the square only ‘metre,’ this artist can see by the square ‘centimetre. ’ His can vases must therefore be made on a scale that will enable him to see them in their entirety and the proper proportions of hri work thus should be preserved. • “If he attempt to paint a can vas say eight feet by six, it would bo quite impossible for him to form a true idea of the mathematical relations borne by the edges of the picture to the center, seeirig that he could not take in the whole at one ‘coup d’oeil.’ “Thus he recently painted my portrait about half the size of life. This was a prodigious effort, a real‘tour de force, in which he was compelled to take in gigantic proportions, to as draw if an tae ordinary Colossus artist should attempt of Rhodes at fud length. N c w \ orl: Graphic. Poet Payne’s Return. When Payne, the author of “Home, Sweet Home,” returned to Boston after a long absence in Europe, he called upon a lady, an old schoolmate, who said: “Mr. Payne, don’t you find Boston much changed?” “Yes, madamc,” he an¬ swered, “very much—I recei many in¬ vitations to attend church, and very few to dinner. ’ ’ When the poor poet went to assume his office at Tunis his lugga ge was had at once pathetic and amusing; he several trunks filled with books, and hardly any clothes.—Boston Budget.

CARNESVILLE, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 18 1887. A Hath la Salt Lake. A reporter had a chat the other day with a business man of this city who spent a day in Salt Lake City not long ago. He reports that women and men there have a depressed, melancholy look, and give the impression they are peiue cuted. The physical appearance of tho women is good. An old man, a stono setter, wa3 asked by one of the ladies of the party how many wives ho had. His reply was: know, madam, only al¬ “You we are lowed to have one.” This old man tried to find out what the visitor thought of the Edmunds bill. It was noticed that the reading desk of the Tabernacle was hung in black. The visitor asked if any one were dead. Tho reply was that it was done in memory of the elders in prison. Tho gentleman took a bath in Salt lake. The water, ho says, is much more salt than that of tho ocean, so much so that tho attendants warn visitors not to swallow it, as it burns tho tissues of the throat. It was very easy to keep afloat in the water, but very hard to get into an upright position, A trip on tho steamer on the lake was taken, and tho captain said he could make but *hrce knots an hour because cf the great resistance of tho water. It was reported that there were no fish in tho lake, but the visitor filled a bottle with tho water and found two little fish in it. Very beautiful and bright crystal forma¬ tions were found along the edge of tho lake looking like pure rock candy. Some of tho sage bushes, upon which the water flowed, were covered with this crystal formation.—New York Mail and Ex¬ press. How Charcoal Is Made. “Charcoal is duly appreciated by lazy women,” said a dealer in that commodity to a reporter. “With it one can build a fire in five minutes. It is cheap. I sell charcoal at $3 per chaldron, but peddlers bushel. deal it out at thirty-five cents per coal, Yes, charcoal is a little dearer than but then the latter .doesn’t go so far or last so long. The best charcoal used by tin roofers or plumbers is made in the Catskills or in the woods of New Jersey. It is made in tills way: A cord of wood is placed in a cleared piece of ground, with the sticks standing upright. In the mid¬ dle a stake is driven. The fine and coarse woods are mixed close together so as to make a firm pile. The whole is covered with sods and earth. A fire is lighted in the center of the pile and on the top of which a hole is cut so as to allow the smoke to escape. The fire is permitted to smolder for twelve or fifteen days, when the sod is _ taken off. A cord of wood will turn out from twenty to thirty Bushels of charcoal. In former years much more charcoal ped¬ dling was done than now. The trade has pretty well petered out, however, owing to the many hard coal peddlers.” —Brooklyn Eagle. How* Horses Rest Themselves. “Horses can get some rest standing,” said an old trainer recently, “provided the position be reasonably easy, but no full rest except recumbent. It is known of some horses that they never lie down in the stall, though if kept in pasture they take their rest habitually in a recumbent position. It is well to consider whether the habit has not been forced upon the horse by some circumstance connected with the stall he was made to occupy, in that it had a muddy earth floor, or one m£U j 0 0 f dilapidated plank, uncomfortable an( j offensive to the horse that had been acc ustomed to select his own bed and pas tmv . jf the horse can have the privilege 0 f selecting his own position for resting on bis feet, ho can sleep standing; but w jjile bis muscles may be to a certain degree relaxed and get rest in that posi pon, what can be said of the bearings a; the joints? Without relief through the recun ibent position, the joint surfaces are f orce d continuously to bear a weight va iying from 1,000 to 1,800 pounds. This mus t act unfavorably, especially upon tho com pli C ated structures within the hoofs w bich na ture intended should have, periods of rest each day.”—New York and Express. ------ -An Experiment with Milk. dairymen who do not believe in the ^ wer 0 f m iik rapidly to absorb and become contaminated by surrounding noxious sme u s w m do well to try the fol j ow pjq, pimple test, the results of which w jn doubtless, immediately convince the mo£t skeptical; Take a wide bowl or g0 ppp^ to the cow stable when you < ^ m jp c . pour into it a pint of fresh mjlk it on the floor or „+ t p 0 j & m j 2 k stool, so as to expose it fully to tfae ^ of thc stabl0j behind and close to ! c ows.

Five years ago I had a tip on Memphis and Charleston. It came from the exper¬ ienced financial editor of a daily news¬ paper. Wo had worked and chummed together from boyhood. Brothers conM not have thought more of each other. One afternoon I received a letter from him urging mo to raise $1,000 and buy Memphis and Charleston railroad stock for a rise. Tho money was to servo as a margin. Ho assured mo that ho had in¬ vested nearly all that he was worth in it. “I am on tho inside,” ho wrote, “and I will stake my life on the result.” Know* ing the man so well, I borrowed $1,000. On my way to a broker I dropped into my friend’s office on Wall street. Ho reassured me of tho certainty of the in¬ vestment. “English capitalists are going to lease the road for ninety-nine years, ’ ’ ho said. The stock is now selling at 42. When the new3 about tho Englishmen crops out it will go up among the 80’s. It’s tho only sure chance I ever had in my life. It’s just liko picking up money. ’ ’ On tho suggestion that it was barely possible that ho might be mistaken with regard to the Englishmen, he continued: “Ah! but I saw the check on the purchase money. It was drawn for $3,000,000, and it will bo cashed to¬ morrow. I had the check right here on this hand,” ho said, clapping his right palm with his left. No man could be more sure of an event. Tho check had been shown him, ho assured me, out of good will and gratitude by a man who was indebted to him for many a news¬ paper favor. Influenced by his confi¬ dence, I hesitated no longer. I went to a broker who was a warm personal friend. He had never seen me dabbling in Wall street before. “What brings you here now?” he asked. Ho was a member of my lodge, and a worthy member. He heard tlao whole story and shook his head. “I’ll not buy tho stock for you,” he said. “My knowledge and my judgment forbid. It’s quoted at 42 to-day. That’s the highest it will over go, in my opinion. The British syndicate is a ghost story— and taffy for fiats. Go back to your desk keep reporting dog fights and murder trials, for you’re out of place in Wall street. You are worse than an idiot playing with electricity.” market The $1,000 was returned. The was watched by me as closely as a cat watches a ground bird. Tho broker’s prediction was fulfilled. The 3tock went down like a corkscrew. Within two days my margin would havo been wiped out. Within five days the stock M lost touched 31. The financial editor $5,000—money sadly missed by his widow and children two years afterwards. More than one man in this city, by tho relation of similar incidents, might shod a lurid light on tho crop of tips now ready for the sickle. The warm air from tho min¬ ing and stock boards has ripened them like cotton balls. Those worth picking are few and far between. Even these are rarely picked, however.—New York Cor. Pioneer Press. Importance of the Paraffine Business. Said a practical refiner of oil while re¬ ferring to the importance the paraffine business has reached: “Every person who sinks his or her teeth into chewing gum nowadays chews paraffine. Every sold delicate caramel or other confection in the candy stores contains the wax, and the paper it is wrapped inis saturated with it. For the insulation of electric wire 3 paraffine wax has taken the place of everything else, and as the electric lighting system increases in extent the demand for this wax must necessarily become proportionately greater. It is the only wax that will defy the notion of sulphuric and other acids, and it cannot bo adulterated for that reason. It has displaced all other wax in the manufact¬ ure of candles. The paper manufactur¬ ers have found it an indispensable .article in their business, and all waxed papers are now coated with refined paraffine. Fine cutlery and hardware cannot rust when wrapped in paper waxed with par¬ affine. Brewers find it invaluable for the coating of tho inside of barrels, keep¬ ing them absolutely sweet and clean. It has taken the place of French wax in the manufacture of wax flowers. It is a perfectly pure hydro-carbon, without taste Or smell, notwithstanding that it is made from tho worst smelling tar imag¬ inable. It defies the strongest dissolv ants of all kinds, and is yielding more profit to those who handl e it in all branches than any other substance of American trade. ”—New York Sun. _ I hare a great , , behef ,., m . ,.ff, r nrv “ of fire engmes agaa^t a mob.

Too many of our farmers’ homes are merely so in narno. They are not homes —only places to stay. Do not think wo are insinuating that you must rush right off and spend $1,000 in buying new fund turc, carpets and an organ. Not at all. One of tho “homeyest” places we ever saw was one that was entirely innocent of any extravagance in that line. Three hundred dollars would have covered tho cost of all the furniture in the house; but it was a place wo always enjoyed visit¬ ing. The head of tho family was always jolly and ready to take a hand in a and his nine children, always hearty and full of fun, and did not care to bo out in the evenings. The girls did sowing and knitting as they grew old enough, and tho boys were often found “making something”; but no evening passed that some one did not have something to read to tho others— an anecdote or a story—something either to amuso or instruct. Cut tho main secret of tlioir happiness, if it was a secret, lay in the fact that worrying and fretting were banished. One growler or fretter will spoil a whole family. Fathers, mothers, don’t allow a fault finding spirit to spoil tho pleasure of your family circle. Don’t indulge in it yourselves. Have ns cozy and comfortable a homo as you can afford, but don’t mourn over what you havo not. Rather rejoice in what you havo and bo thankful.—National Stockman. The Man of Luck. A king once said to his minister, “do you believo in luck?” “I do,” said tho minister. “Can you provo it?” said tho king. “Yes, lean.” So ono night he tied up to tho ceiling of a room a bag containing peas mixed with diamonds, and let in two man, eno ; of whom believed in luck, mid the other in human effort alone. The ono who be lioved in luck quietly laid himself down on tho ground; tho other after a time found tho bag, and, feeling in tho dark tho peas and stones, ate the peas and threw tho diamonds to his companion, saying, “There are tho stones for your idleness.” The man below received them in his blanket. In the morning the king and tho min¬ ister came and told each man to keep what ho had found. Tlio man who be¬ lieved in trying, got tho peas which ho had eaten, the other got the diamonds. The minister then said, “Sire, thero may be luck, but it is ao rare as peas mixed with diamonds; so let none hope to livo by luck.”—Chatterbox. One of the World’s Mean Men. There are some very mean men in this world. That everybody knows. But perhaps the meanest of them all is an in¬ dividual who has been operating in real estate and building. His favorite method is to buy a lot in a block where the fronts of adjoining houses arc eight or ten feet or more from the sidewalk. He starts his house with the front wall flush with tho sidewalk. Of course his neighbors remonstrate, Natural !y they do not want their light and view cut off. But he doesn’t see how ho can alter his plans. He has been to much expense, and to change things now would cause him no end of loss. If, however, the property owners directly interested will consent to help him out of the difficulty to the ex¬ tent of $200 to $300 apiece he will have the front wall set back in lino with his neighbors’ houses. Otherwise ho will bo oompelled to go ahead. This mean little game, ’tri said, has been repeatedly and profitably played by the same man.— Chicago Herald. A Difference In Peanuts. There is a vast difference in peanuts. Some largo nuts look very fine, but are really tasteless. No matter how well roasted and prepared they may be they still lack tho features of a good nut. A good roaster, like a good cook, must be bom with certain qualifications that can¬ not be reached by trying to educate him to it. Some dealers roast the nut too lit¬ tle and others too much. Roast 1 hem too much and the oil is taken from them, and if the oil is not properly brought out the nut has a disagreeable taste. Soma people like peanuts hot, but then they aro very bad for tho teeth. Dyspeptics should eat very few. I find from my own experience that it would be better if they did not eat any. The average peanut eater cats ono every minute, which is entirely too fast.—Peanut Ven¬ der in Globe-Democrat.

Tho Researches of Tommoai-Cruilolt and Others—On tho Roman Cnmpngna. When wo talk of the Roman climate we can not disassociate tho themo from its distinctive characteristic—tho malarial poison. W hat ia this poison? Till tho re¬ searches of Tommasi-Crudoli and Kiebs, published in 1879, the most plausiblo who answer was that of Dr. Leon Colin, defines it as an “intoxication tellurique,” an earth poison generated by the surplus vegetative energy of an abnormally fer¬ tile soil, whoso fecundity was very sprinkling par¬ tially absorbed by the scanty of herbage that overspread its surface. Cultivate this soil, render to this vegeta¬ tive energy its appropriate pabulum, and you provide tho antidote to malaria. Such, stated with extreme brevity, was the theory of Leon Colin, embodied in a work of great ability, which, appearing as it did, at tho outbreak of the Frnnco Gennan war, encountered a public too preoccupied to give it tho study it de¬ served. Toinmasi-Crudcli combats this thoory. denies that the Roman Camphgna fe¬ possesses anything liko the oxuberant cundity with which it has been credited. Ita really fertile tracts are few and far between, rarely compensating tho agri¬ culturist for his labor—as, Indeed, was well known to ancient husbandmen. Then, again, if the poison implies, were tho gaseous, mal¬ as Leon Colin’s theory bo aria surcharged atmosphero ought to the at its maximum at noonday, when exhalation from the soil in greatest; but on the contrary, the localities in which malaria is most pronounced reach their maximum of danger in the morning and evening—those periods of tho day when tho difference of temperature between earth and atmosphere renders tho ascend¬ ing aerial ourrente most powerful and most apt to transport the material of the poison. That material, according to Tommasi-Crudeli. is a living ferment, encountered equally on the mountain and plain, in dry soils and in humid. Its ex¬ istence was suspected and unscientifically described as long ago as the decline of tho Roman republic by the agriculturist Varro, and its nature and form are de¬ fined by Tommasi-Crudeli as a “Schizo metes bacillaris.” For its development it requires a tem¬ perature not lower than twenty degrees C. (a moderate degree of humidity) and tho immediate contact of the with tho soil it infects. As tho absence of a singlo ono of these conditions prevents the development of the malaria, so cer¬ tain localities exhibit at times a natural suspension of the poison. In winter, for example, tho fall of tho temperature be¬ low the required twenty degrees causes a tbermid suspension; tho loss of Che neces¬ sary humidity under prolonged drought causes a hydraulic suspension; and tho interposition of sheets of water or of a thick matting of turf on the lying down of a pavement, by preventing tho imme¬ diate contact of the atmosphero with the infected soil, produces an atmospheric suspension of the malaria.—London Lan cot. “ro-jr Carlotta’s” Insanity, The insanity of “poor Cariotta,” ex¬ empress of Mexico, has lately been mani¬ festing itself in an acute form. She ap¬ pears to be always searching for some¬ thing on tho ground, and shows groat satisfaction if she can furtively pick up some trifle unseen. Her attendants are careful to scatter small objects about her path. She will not allow any ono to accompany her in her walks through tho parks of her castlo of Bourchot, and if through tho gate3 or railings sho sees a passing peasant she flies and hides her¬ self, with all tho symptoms of abject fear. Tho king of the Belgians has de¬ ckled to rebuild for her occupation the castlo of Pervuerin, which was destroyed by fire. It is situated in thc middle of splendid forests, and will insure ll }0 af¬ flicted empress every privacy.—Gficago Tribune. Life Lengthened hy Laughter. Perhaps thero is not the remotest cor ner or iittlo inlet of tlio minute blood vessels of the body that does not feel aomo wavelet from tho great convulsion produced by hearty laughter shaking tho central man. Tlio blood moves moro lively; probably its chemical, electric or vital conditions aro distinctly modified. It convoys a different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on that particular mystic journey, when thc man is laughing, from what it does at other times. And thus it is that a good laugh lengthens a man’s life by conveying a distinct and additional stim¬ ulus to tho vital forces. — Scientific American. The Negro and HI* Coon Dog.

The farmer's home is, much of tho time, in tho field and out about the premises or off to the'market place, and hence he suffers from no confinement under bad conditions. Even if Ids nights under tho roof are not exactly of the best, owing to being confined in close quarters or from bad air arising from un¬ der or within tho house, his day outdoors dissipates much of evil that comes to him in the night time and he may riot be ma¬ terially harmed. But with the wife the case ia quite different. The house is her field, and she cannot, if she would, escape from any damaging influences that exist under tho roof. Tlio plan for such farm buildings as are to lie erected the coming year should be very carefully considered during tho winter, and not only the plans, but thd location, as to drainage and dis¬ tance from any point or ]joints upon the farm whence malaria may arise. As ia well known, the prevailing winds aro from the west and southwest; and, per¬ haps, the most unusual of all are from the northeast. Hence, the question of location is important, if thero is any especially damaging spot on or near the farm, and should be considered and acted upon. Careful researches by Bowditch, Petens kofer and others have quite closely con¬ and nected the prevalence of consumption certain low forms of fever with the ap¬ proach of tho water line or its nearness to the surface: Standing water at a less distance than six to seven feet should warn against building upon such a ate.
