Good Manners Jn Children. It is no wonder that there are so many ill bred men and women in the world when one sees the lack of pains taken by parents to instruct their lit tle ones in forms of table and social etiquette that are so easily taught to the pliable infant mind, but which, left unnoticed, are soon supplanted by actions that become bad habits in a very short time. It is no unusual sight to behold a child drinking from its saucer with no word of admonition from the mother or nurse who sits near by. A thirsty little one will drink from a cup in which there is a spoon, and later years will see no harm in continuing the practice. Many a child eats with his knife, and yet how’ easily could the fork or spoon be substituted in its place if the parents gave but a tiny bit of attention to this branch of thier chidren’s education. Selfishness is fostered so easily through a lack of watchfulness. The gentler courtesies that count for so much are not instilled in childhood, and in later years the man or woman is regarded as a bore. Good clothes are not everything. Even good health is not the one point desirable in a child’s makeup. Good manners should be added to health and attire in order to gain a perfect ensemble that counts for so much in the world’s judgment. No one can estimate how great a factor in life is the possession of good manners. They are the open sesame to the best of society. They are the hall mark of the gentleman or lady, but they must be acquired in infancy. —New York Telegram. A STORM’S FURY. Fearfni Havoc Wrought Along the Sontli Atlantic Coast Savannah Torn and Sorrow-Stricken. Havoc at Other Points. Information About Lemons. Lemons make very refreshing and thirst-quenching drinks, and the citric acid they contain cools the blood. Al though we as a rule think there is only- one variety of lemons, there are really two—Citrus lumia, the sweet lemon, and Citrus limonum, the true lemon. Citrus lumia is deficient in citric acid, therefore these are pleasanter to suck or eat, like oranges, than Citrus limo- num. Eor drinks they require the addition of citric acid. The lemons that are hard and have a slightly greenish hue contain the most citric acid. Lemons unless fresh soon get moldy—that is in a week or so. To prevent them from doing this they should not be allowed to touch each other. If each is wrapped up in a sheet of tissue paper, this cannot oc cur. Some people put them in a large stone jar, cover them with water nud renew the water every three days, or oftener if it smells. But the best way is to buy them fresh—Philadel phia Times. Last Word. A young girl once heard a bit of wisdom from the lips of a very aged woman—a woman who had rounded the term of ninety years, and with eyes still bright and clear looked out upon the inrolling waters of eternity. The girl was impressed by the empha sis with which the venerable dame ' said to her, “Bessie, never insist on having the last word.” The determi nation to have the last word leads to more quarrels and more bitterness of feeling at home than almost anything else in domestic life. The fact is, that one may so control her tongue and her eyes that she may al low her opponent the pleasure of this coveted concluding thrust and yet placidly retain her own opinion, and in the homely, colloquial parlance of the upcounty, where one finds strong- willed people living together in great pence with the most pronounced diver sity- of characteristics, “do as she’s a mind to.” Great Fairs of the World. There have been nine great fairs oi the world. The first great internation al exposition was held in London, in 1851. The second world’s fair was held at Paris, in 1855. The third was held in London, in 1862. The fourth was held in Paris, in 1857. The fifth was in Vienna, in 1873. The Phila delphia exposition of 1876, was the sixth great display-. The seventh in ternational fair was in Paris, in 1878. The eigth fair was at Paris, in 1889. The ninth, as all the world knows, is in progress in Chicago, Dainty Splashers. A Savannah special says: Almost on the anniversary of 1881, Savannah was swept Sunday night by one of the se verest storms it has ever known. The storm, which had been predicted by the weather bureau for several days, began early in the afternoon and in creased from then on until it reached the climax between 11 and 12 o’clock gunday night, having blown for eight hours in a terrific hurricane. It be gan raining early in the morning, but only in’gusts. After the first fall it ceased entirely for several hours, and did not begin again until afternoon. Then the work of destruction began and lasted until-the storm had spent its force. At midnight all the wharves along the river front and Ocean Steam ship company and Savannah, Florida and Western railway wharves were under water and the tide was still ris ing rapidly. A view of the city at daylight Mon day morning revealed a scene of wreck and ruin that surpassed that after the great hurricane of 1881. The streets were impassable from the debris. Fallen trees, twisted roofs, masses of brick, fences and broken limbs and branches of trees, were piled across the sidewalks and in the squares, and broken wires hung in every direction. It is impossible at present to estimate the damage, as the result of the storm, but it was very general, and it is safe to say that it will go up in the hun dreds of thousands, and perhaps high er. Nearly everyone, if not quite all the property owners in the city, have been damaged to some extent, and some to the extent of thousands. FIFTY MISSING. The list of fatalities is gradually growing, and it is impossible to tell to what extent it will go. Several bod ies of drowned persons were picked up during the morning, and searches are now being made for others who are missing. Every hour seems to bring some new story of a death as a result of the storm. Fourteen people are known to be dead, and forty or fifty others are re ported missing, and it is supposed, as nothing has been heard from them, that their bodies will be found later. In a summer cottage quite the effec tive feature of every bedroom was the washstaud splasher. A wide piece of cottage drapery, shirred on a slender gilt rod and suspended by white rib bon bands, formed the background of the toilet stand, falling to the floor and coming well out on both sides. The protection of the delicate wall paper was perfect, and the graceful banners imparted an airy effect that added much to the prettiness of the rooms.—New York 1’imes. Character In the Eyebrows.

Twelve barks and barken tines which were anchored at quarantine station were blown high and dry upon the marsh, and some of them were carried by the storm across the marshes on to an island two miles distant from the station. One of the vessels at Tybee was completely capsized and three of the clubhouses on the island were blown entirely down. Others were flooded and the people sought shelter wherever they could. The wires are all down and Savannah is almost shut off from telegraphic communication QUARANTINE DEMOLISHED. The ruin at quarantine is immeas urable. Nothing is standing where one of the finest stations on the south Atlantic was located except the doc tors’ house, and how this weathered the fearful gale is miraculous; the wharves are gone, the new fumi gating plant which has cost the city so much money is in the bottom of the sea, and nine vessels which were waiting there for release to come to the city are high and dry the marsh, and no doubt will be total wrecks. The Cosnine was the only vessel which managed to keep afloat. FOURTEEN DROWNED. The tug Panlsen arrived in the city at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. She brought up about sixty passengers from Tybee. Mr. -Severs, one of them, stated that four negroes engaged in clearing the railroad tracks were drowned. It is reported that eight of the crew of a terrapin sloop which went ashore on the south end were drowned. IIAVOO ON TYBEE. The Hotel Tybee was considerably damaged. Her verandas are gone and so are the bathhouses. The Knights of Pythias clubhouse was washed away. Two of the cottages of the Cottage Club are gone. The Butler house is gone. Mr. Starr’s house was washed into the woods. The Ranche and Rambler clubhouses were wrecked. The railroad track is clean ed out. Henry Green’s house was burned. George Bossell’s cottage was swept out to sea. The north end was practically cleaned out. The water swept with tremendous force over this part of the island, railroad tracks be ing carried from 200 to 500 feet. ILL FATED CHARLESTON. A Charleston special says: While the record of terror and ruin wrought by the great disaster of 1885 remains unbroken, Charleston has again stood in the track of a cyclone which has shaken the old city to her foundation stones. The damage to property can not be told and the loss of life is un known. The citizens awoke Monday morn ing and gazed upon innumerable evi dences of the hurricane which swept over the city Sunday afternoon and night. Uprooted trees, fallen roofs, broken fences and in the less substan tial parts of the town, wrecked sheds and shanties were found everywhere. A veritable cyclone with all the ter rors which the word has for the people of that section, swept up the coast and across Charleston. Early Saturday morning the dreaded signal was run up, and the city held its breath hoping that the storm might pass her by. But the weather looked exceedingly threatening Sunday morning, and within a short time it became no long er a doubt that the dreaded cyclone was to decend upon the city in all its fury. The craft lying at anchor in the bay were first to take alarm, and from all quarters of the harbor they hurried to safety. The largest vessels, no lest than the smallest craft, sought protection from the angry tempest. By 1 o’clock the storm burst- in all its fury. Several casualties to persons and much serious damage is reported, but a complete inventory can only be made after a careful inspection of the territory ex tending from the Ten Mile house to the Battery. Every wire in the city was prostrated; thousands of trees were denuded of '-their foliage and limbs blown entirely down. A hun dred houses were unroofed and a num ber of frame buildings wrecked. The Charleston lead wori"> were seriously damaged, and the property in the neighborhood of Charleston neck was injured to the extent of $1,000,000. Es timates in the city are impossible. Half of the streets are impassable on account of fallen trees, telegraph poles and timbers. Serious fears are enter tained for the inhabitants of Sullivan’s island and the coast. Tha former place was last heard from at 3 p. Sunday. Communication is now sus pended. THE BLOW AT AUGUSTA. An Angnsta, Ga., special says Sunday night’s storm was the worst thaFever visited Angnsta within the recollection of the oldest citizens. It was a violent wind storm, accompanied by over three inches of rain which fell down with great force. Men and women were badly frightened and filled with dread and fear of the re sults. The roaring, blustering wind traveled at a high velocity and swept everything before it. It was a fright ful night and made strong men timid. People were not surprised upon look ing out Monday morning to see trees uprooted. Sidewalks were torn np by the falling trees. Electrio light, fire alarm and telephone wires were broken down, and hanging signs were blown away. All telegraphic communication was shut off except to Atlanta. Crops were badly damaged in the surround ing country. Corn was blown down and cotton whipped out. There was no loss of life. AT BRUNSWICK. Following in the wake of the fever and the famine, the elements heaped destruction on the ill-fated oity of Brunswick. Streets were flooded and made impassable to pedestrians. The storm did not stop until daybreak Monday morning. Thousands of dol lars damage was done along the coast. The damage to the buildings in the city is heavy. FEARFUL IN FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Fla., was struck by the cyclone about daybreak Sunday morning, which rapidly increased in force and fury up to 4 o’clock p. m. It traveled in a northwesterly direc tion from the "West Indies. It first struck the Florida coast at a point south of Jupiter inlet. Its course was still northwesterly, and it traversed the whole eastern portion of the peninsula, damaging property more or less in a path forty to fifty miles wide from the coast line west ward. In Jacksonville hundreds of trees were blown down and scores of dwell ings and public buildings were either unroofed entirely or had the tin blown from them. The most serious damage was to the Park opera house and the Ocean Street Presbyterian church. At Mayport (mouth of St. John’s river) all the buildings suffered more or less, and the old Atlantic house was demolished completely. At Pablo beach the sea encroached upon the railroad tracks and tli6 premesis of the cottagers and the wind played Bad havoc among them. All the telegraph and telephone wires were blown down. St. Augustine reports the water coming in over the sea wall and dama ging residences and business blocks. About thirty or forty yachts and small crafts were badly damaged, or com pletely destroyed. The fate of other localities in Florida as well as of the outside territory invaded by the storm, is still a sealed book. The wires are down in every direction from Jack sonville and communication with the outside world was ausolutely cut off. A Columbia special says: All South Carolina was in the very teeth of the storm. The state weather observer 6ays that nearly the entire early rice crop has been destroyed and that cot ton has been injured from 25 to 30 per cent. The crops in this section are in a distressing condition. Corn and peas are ruined. Pasture fences have been blown away and the cattle are scattered everywhere. Barns and cribs have been blown down, leaving the forage exposed. LATER PARTICULARS. Specials of Tuesday from Savannah state that the list of fatalities as the result of Sunday’s storm is rapidly in creasing. The City of Savannah, which sailed from Boston Thursday, is fifty hours overdue and no tidings from her, whatever, have been receiv ed. The Savannah is one of the old est boats on the line. The William Crane steamer from Baltimore reach ed the city Thursday, but in a rather bad condition. Her captain re ports wreckage all along the coast near Charleston. There were cabin doors, spars, mats and parts of vessels of all kinds. Whether any of them were the remains of the City of Savannah is not known, but the sup position is that such was the case. The passenger list has not yet arrived from Boston and it is not known who were on hoard. Hutchinson’s island presents a scene of devastation. The entire island is still covered with water and several houses, which were on the little farms across the river, have disappeared from view. The bank opposite the city is strewn with the wrecks of dwelling, sheds and old boats. At the lumber wharves near Vale Boyal considerable lumber was floated off, but most of this can be recovered. Had Tybee island been washed away the demolition and destruction could not have been much worse than it is. Houses were blown down, burned, washed away and otherwise demolish ed. Six lives were lost on the island. Numbers of colored people on Hutchinson’s island are missing, and it is believed that many more perished. A party, consisting of C. A. Gradot, George Schwarz, Harry Fender, "Wal ter Robider and two others left Savan nah Sunday morning on a “maroon” and have not been heard from since. The steamer Boellevue, sighted an abandoned boat, bottom up, which the friends of those in the ma rooning party fear was their boat. River men and others say that the full list of those who were lost in the storm will never be known except by the missing of those who fail to' re turn. FIFTEEN WRECKS. Fifteen vessels on the harbor and off Tybee were wrecked or badly dam aged. More than that number of smaller crafts are missing and are be lieved to have been lost. The loss of life at Charleston has been remarkably slight, considering the fearful ravage which was done to property in every quarter of the city. The total death roll numbers six per sons, three of whom met death in the city and three on Sullivan’s island. THE DAMAGE DONE. It is difficult to give an estimate of the damage done by the storm. The following is a rough estimate: To buildings, $100,000; vessels wrecked, $150,000; damage to the railroads leading out of the city, $100,000; dam age to the rice crop, $200,000. The interior tributary to Savannah is dam aged probably to the ameuntof $1,000,- 000 or more, as the cotton crop over a wide territory has suffered severely and in many turpentine districts at least one-fourth of the trees are des troyed. xne naai wave strucK l'ort noval an a the damage to property is nothing in comparison to the loss of life. Over one hundred are known to have been drowned and killed in Port Royal, Beaufort, Seabrook and on Helena is land. THE CREW SAVED. FOUR HMDRID ARE DEAD! Tie Stewlla Saranal is Wrtebi Oil HasliM Island After a Seven Days’ Battle With An. gry Waves. Dispatches of Wednesday night state that the passengers and crew of the City of Savannah have been res cued and are safe, though the gallant steamship is a total wreck. After a seven days’ encounter with the ocean at its angriest, and after shipwreck on a storm-beaten coast the passengers of the ill-fated ship were rescued by the gallant steamer City of Birmingham off Huntiug Island, on the South Carolina coast. Heartily and sincerely did Savan nah rejoice when the news reached the city, whose name the fated steam ship bore, and a nation rejoiced with her. A day of doubt and anxiety and sorrow had the happiest possible ending. As the gallant City of Bir mingham steamed up to her dock, bearing aloft the pennant of her stricken sister and below that most precious burden, her human freight, cheer after cheer rang out from the assembled throng to give her noble welcome. The rescue of the Savannah was the feature of the day’s news from the storm-swept coast region. In Savan nah, in Atlanta, throughout the entire country, the deepest interest was felt all day in the fate of the long-past due steamships. They had been given up for lost; and just when everybody began to give np in despair, the Bir mingham, with the Savannah’s people on board, reached her home. The City of Savannah was the oldest ship of the Ocean steamship fleet. She was built in Chester, Pa., in 1877, by John Rorch & Son. She was of 2,029 gross tons and 1,358 net. Her engines were compound and were built in 1877. She carried forty-six officers and men. The steamer is a total loss. No information yet about the cargo. BUSINESS IMPROVES. Beaufort and Port Royal Scenes of Death and Desolation On All SIdes—400 Dead Bodies Recovered. A special of Thursday night from Beaufort, S. C., is to the effect that over three hundred and ninety dead bodies have been found on the islands about Beaufort and Port Royal. Over two million dollars of property has been wrecked near the same points. And both of these are the direct re sult of the severe storm which swept along the Atlantic coast on the night of August 27th. Every one of the fifteen or twenty islands lying aronnd IJfrt Royal and Beaufort is steeped every door knob there] crape, and upon eve; are fresh-made grav filled, while others i bodies that will be d< jnst as soon as some oj to do the kind Christ ing the dirt upon the: for Charleston, another for Savannah and the damage to railroads and steamship lines and there is a grand ... total of something like $5,000,000 loss Appling Fatalities Of tile Storm Aliont arul 600 dead bodies as the fruit of Sunday night’s blow in a stretch of 100 miles on the Oeorgia and Carolina coast.

Governor Tillman issned the fol lowing proclamation at 11 o’clock Thursday night: “Having received the following telegram from J. H. Averill, receiver of the Port Boyal and Angnsta Railroad company con veying the startling intelligence of an appalling loss of life and a terrible state of destitution upon the islands upon the coast of this state resulting from the terrible hurricane which the Almighty in His judgment has visited upon the people of the south Atlantic states, causing universal suffering: “ •YtMASSEZ.N. C ,Angnst31.—To Hon. B. R. Tillmau, Governor of North Carolina: The loss of life by the recent cyclone on the islands ad jacent to B anfort and Port Royal will number not less than six hundred people. There are seven thousand on the islands entirely destitnte of provisions. All they had has been washed away and their crops are entirely lost. Great destitution will prevail amoDg them unless they havespeely relief. I am working night and day to open up communication and hope to have trains into Beaufort not later than Mon day next. Please address any reply you have to me at Yemassee, from which point it will be forwarded by railroad. J. H.

Dun & Co. ’b weekly review of trade says: The improvement ob served last week has become much more distinct and general. While ac tual transactions have increased but little, the change of public feeling is noteworthy. There are fewer failures either of bankers or of important com mercial or manufacturing concerns, than for some weeks past. Many dis asters have been avoided by a more general pooling of resources and a greater spirit of mutual helpfulness and forbearance than were some weeks ago. One large stock failure for sev eral million dollars was thus prevent ed in Wall street on Thursday, and the market for securities, though at times depressed, by the closing of heavy loans, has been extremely dull without material decline. Money on call is more abundant and lower, as many interior loans have been paid since the banks ceased to send currency away, and advanced the rates for renewing or extendin such loans,but there is little relief as respects mercantile accommodations, as the use of the cheek in the place of currency increases, and the secretary of the treasury in answer to an inquiry, has stated that no legal objection exists to the use of sight drafts on New York for small sums. The difficulty of collections and the interruption of exchanges are nearly as serious as ever. The number of in dustrial establishments resuming busi ness begins to compare fairly with the number stopping work. A little bet ter demand appears for some products, such as wire nails and barbed wire, of which important producers have been idle for nearly two months. But in general the consumption has so far de creased that the southern furnaces are offering pig iron at very low figures here, and standard makers in Penn sylvania are contemplating a re duction in prices. Though currency is at a premium of 1 to 2 per cent, the demand is less than a week ago. Receipts of gold from Europe during the past week have been $6,700,000, but the Bank of England has raised its rate to 5 per cent., which is expected to stop further shipments of gold to this country and the Bank of France has lost during the past week about $1,600,000. The ab sorption of money has not yet ceased, and credit substitutes are in use as yet poorly supply its place. The failures for the past week num ber 410 in the United States and twenty in Canada. Of the commer cial failures in the United States 149 were in eastern states, sixty-five in southern and 180 in western. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

C., than at ei ther Charleston or Savannah, while the neighboring town gf Beaufort was almost wiDed awav. The Industrial Situation for the Past Week. The review of the industrial sitnation in the South for the past week shows that there is no material change in industrial and financial con ditions. The failnres reported for the week are less in nnmber and importance than for the Week preceding;.several of the batiks which had suspended business have resumed pavments, and others pive notice of an early intention so to do, and in merchantilo business a slight im provement is noled, especially in the hardware trade. Crop rejtorts, from all parts of tlr- South, are generally favorable. Cotton is coming in to market, bat not to a large (Xtcnt. The price is too low to tempt farrm rs who are not obliged to sell, an l Ibis ciasF is 1 rger at pres ent than in any former season. There are no reports of the establishment of new industries of special importance. Twenty- three new industries were established or incor porated during the week, together with four enlargements of manufactories, and nine im- portantnew buildings. Business generally throughout the South is being conducted on a eons rvative basis, and is considerably restrict! d. Credits are carefully scrutinized, and while the volume of business is small there is a prevai ing belief that the worst is over, and tlfat improvement may be expected henceforward. -1 radesman (Chatta-^ nooga,Ttnn.)

In addition to the list of those given elsewhere from St. Eelena it is estimated that 150 lives have been lost. On Warsaw island reliable information has placed forty- five in the grave. On hunting island, the island off which the steamship Citt of Savannah was wrecked, forty- six are dead. LOSS TO SHIPPING. The loss to shipping around the im- po riant islands is fearful. There are eight dredges which were employed in getting out phosphate rock by the several companies engaged in this in dustry. The largest one, the Kennedy, cost $350,000. The others were not so valuable, bnt all are beached high and dry, or are bottom up and hope less wrecks. Connected with these dredges were woshboats and lighters. There were something like three hun dred of these, the average value being about $2,000, and which are scattered all over the marshes. Many of these pan be recovered, but there are at least fifty that are total wrecks. I The damage to the phosphate indus try, to shipping, warehouses, com- tmerce, merchandise, dwellings and (crops aronnd Beaufost and Port Royal will go to $2,000,000.

The rich man among the Arabs dresses richly. His shirt is of fine linen. His inside vest is buttoned, the outside one worn loose. A long paletot often takes the place of the latter. It is cut part way down from the neck, and the loose armholes allow the arms to be held in or outside. The wide trousers are bound about the waist by a rich scarf. Over all is fre quently worn the long loose tunic, cut Y shape at the neck, and with short sleeves low down. The hands are fre quently kept inside—in winter for warmth—and an Arab reaches out from the Y at the neck for anything he wants handed him with a peculiarly limited motion which at first you fail to comprehend. The burnoose is an out-of-doors garment, and the fez may or may not have the turban cloth. The swell wears European socks, and his slippers, usually trodden down at the heel by the common or careless, are handsomely embroidered or of fine morocco, red or yellow. The calf is naked.

Generally other people do not. If ac tresses undertook to get their makeup off with water, they would need soft soap and a scrub brush to do it, and the skin would inevitably come off with it. They used once cocoa butter. Now they use cocoa oil, which is a better preparation of the same thing. Drug stores keep it. Some keep, it fresh, and some keep it rancid. Take care not to patronize the second class, and in cocoa oil you will have the most delightful of all emollient for the oil hath. If you want to see how effective it is, come in from a railway journey on a hot day, when the windows have been up and yon have had as much benefit of the smoke and soot as the fireman. Take the most vigorous hath you can devise or endure, then spread some cocoa oil on the face and rub it off.
