How to Keep Young.
In order to remain youthful in ap
pearance, the body must be free from
disease, the mind cheerful and happy.
The preservation of a pleasant express
ion of countenance is as essential as
the prevention of wrinkles. The emo
tions of the mind stamp themselves in
the features. The indulgence in ill-
temper, fretting over the minor aggra
vations of life and little jealousies and
animosities, are the destroyers of soul
beauty which must bo combined with
the physical charmes in order to keep
the face young and pleasant looking.
The coming of wrinkles may be re
tarded by observing the following
rules: Keep the system in a healthy,
well-regualted condition; keep the skin
clean by frequent washing; bathe the
face with the hands once a day in soft
water, as hot as can be borne, dry on
a soft towel, and follow by a gentle
massage with the palms, smoothing the
brow upward to prevent the formation
of early wrinkles; protect the face from
severe cold and strong winds; and
avoid facial distortions, as wrinkling
the forehead and puckering the feat
ures. Keep your eyes open to the
funny side of life and rejuvenate your
soul with good, hearty laughter.
It matters not whether married or
single, if you w-ork in harmony with
nature’s laws the bloom of youth will
linger late. But if you impede respi
ration by tight clothing, diet on rich
indigestible food, spend the beauty
making hours of the night in dissipa
tion, clog the pores of the skin with
poisonous cosmetics, draw your face
into a frown except when you meet
company, and you worry needlessly,
you will grow old in advance of the
years. The crow’s feet will come thick
and fast; the silver threads will multi
ply by the score; and the skin will as
sume a sallow hue.—Exchange.
A Sewing Screen.
A novelty for the sewing room, and
it may iollow the sewer indeed to any
room of the house where she elects to
pursue her occupation, is a sewing
6‘reen. It is, in fact, a model and
comprehensive work-basket. The screen
frame is first covered with chintz or
cretonne of somo cheerful pattern.
One side of the screen is left plain,
and to the other are attached pockets,
a latticework of braid to hold paper
patterns, a pincussion, needlebook,
sagging bands caught down at inter
vals to hold scissors, and, in fact,
everything necessary to supplement
the work of the seamstress, be she the
busy housemother or some one separ
ately employed for the duty.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot reach ths
diseased port ion of t he ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tubo gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

The Chattanooga Times is in receipt
of a letter from General H. V. Boy
son, announcing the postponment
the dedication of the Chickamanga and
Chattanooga National Military park
from September, 1894, to September,
1895. The reasons given for the post
ponement are that the tariff question
occupying the attention of congress
would prevent final action on the bill
appropriating funds for the dedication
in time for this year and that the
Grand Army of the Republic would
probably meet in Atlanta, Ga., next
year and could thuB easily participate

Daily Summary of Routine Business in

THE HOUSE.
In the house Saturday several pri
vate pension bills were passed by
unanimous consent and at 12:35
o’clock the house went into commitee
of the whole on the pension appropria
tion bill, Mr. Outhwaite in the chair.
The house, Monday morning, non-
coucurred in nearly all the senate
amendments to the urgency deficiency
bill, and then went into committee of
the whole on the pension appropria
ble
Some minor routine business pre
ceded the resumption of the debate on
the pension appropriation bill in the
house Tuesday. Quite a heated dis
cussion was precipitated at the begin
ning of the session over a resolution
instructing the secretary of the
navy to appoint a naval cadet
from the fifth South Carolina dis
trict. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana,
from the committee on the judiciary,
asked unanimous consent for the con
sideration of the resolution directing
the investigation by that committee of
writs of injunction issued by United
States Judge Jenkins on behalf of the
Fanners’ Loan and Trust Company
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company. There was no objection
and the resolution was adopted.
The house, Wednesday morning,
resumed the consideration of the pen
sion appropriation bill.
Several bills of local interest were
passed in the house Thursday. The
civil service committee was authorized
to sit during the sessions of the house.
The conference report on urgent defi
ciency bill was presented and agreed
to. The bill carries $768,268. The
bill prepared by the directory of the
commission abolishing the offices of
commissioner and assistant commis
sioner of customs and transferring
their duties to the first and fifth audi
tors was taken up.
THE SENATE.
The morning hour of the senate
Monday was taken up with routine
business of local interest to various
sections of the country. The Bland
silver seigniorage bill was received
from the house and referred to the
committee on finance. Mr. Allen pre
sented an amendment to the rules
providing that it shall be the
duty of the committee to which
the bill, resolution or other meas
ure was referred, to report it back
within thirty days, and if the commit
tee shall fail to report in that time,
the senator presenting it shall have
the right to call for a report under
certain restrictions. The proposed
amendment was referred to the com
mittee on rules. The senate, at. 2 :05,
on motion of Mr. Gorman,, went into
executive session.
In the senate, Tuesday, Mr. Hill of
fered a resolution that, whereas the
secretary of the treasury has an
nounced a deficit of seventy-eigjit
millions for the current fiscal year,
and whereas the Wilson bill proposes
to discard seventy-six million revenue
from present tnxes, and meet the dou
ble deficiency by new. internal and di
rect taxes. Resolved, that the finance
committee frame an amendment to said
bill, omitting internal and direct taxes
newly proposed and instead thereof
make provision for sufficient rev
enue by taxing other foreign
imports and otherwise revise the
tariff without creating a deficiency.
He asked that it be laid on the table
for the present. Mr. Harris moved the
second reading of the seigniorage bill
and raid that there was no more earn
est advocate of silver coinage than
himself, but believing as he did that
there was at least one question-that
should take precedence of its consid
eration, without any breach of
confidence he was able to state
that the committee on finance
was on the very eve of report
ing the tariff bill. He therefore ob
jected to further proceedings with the
seigniorage bill. Under that objection
he claimed that the bill would go to
the calendar. A discussion followed.
At 2 o’clock, under an arrangement
made during the debate, Mr. Stewart
did not press his motion to take up
tho Bland bill, but gave notice
that he Would make the motion
at the same hour Wednesday.
In the senate, Wednesday, Mr. Mor
gan, from the committee on foreign
relations, reported a resolution request
ing the president to inform the senate,
if not inconsistent with the public
interest, whether the government of
Great Britain had occupied Blnefields
or any other place on the Mosquito
reservation, in Nicaragua, with a mili
tary force; to state the character and
strength of such force, and the claim
of authority on the part- of the British
government so to occupy that country.
The resolution was agreed to. Mr.
Harris said that, after conference with
his colleagues, he believed that the
majority of them were in favor of the
immediate consideration and disposal
of the Bland seigniorage bill, and he
asked unanimous consent that it be
taken up for consideration. This pre
cipitated a lively debate.
The resignation of Senator White,
of Louisiana, to take effect March 12,
was laid before the senate Thursday
morning.
TRADE REVIEW.
Report of Business for the Past Week
by Dan & Co.
R. G. Dan & Co.’s review of trade
for the past week says: With no more
definite information than a week ago
regarding the outcome of the financial
or revenue disputes, perhaps more
people have come to the belief that
the end wiU answer their wishes. Cer
tainly rather more are taking limited
risks in business. The slowly growing
demand for goods caused by gradual
exhaustion of stock left by dealers
has further enlarged the working
force in manufactories. The fall of
silver to 27jd and below 60 cents
here and after a slight recovery,
its renewed weakness, have an
unfavorable influence in some markets.
The announcement that import duties
are to be imposed by India, if con
firmed, may increase the difficulty.
The passage of the seigniorage bill by
the house late on Thursday has not had
time to produce much effect, but is not
financially reassuring. More works
have resumed or increased hands or
hours than have stopped or reduced,
but numerous reductions in wages
continue to lessen the purchasing
power of those at work. The demand
for distributors is almost exclusively
for medium or low priced woolen and
cotton goods, for $1.50 and not for $3
boots, and for shoes rather than boots.
Some salesmen and traders find in
dications that stocks of the higher
priced goods remaining on hand are
much larger than usual and bankers
judge that much of the demand for
commercial loans is virtually for re
newals to carry such unsold stocks. In
all branches of the woolen manufac
ture, the demand is yet far below the
usual mark, but is somewhat improved
iu worsted and dress goods, and lead
ing mills have been taking wool quite
largely, so that, in three chief markets,
the sales have been 4,898,200 pounds
for the week against 5,198,200 last-
year, in part because scarcely any
foreign wool has been imported for
months, and supplies are short. West
ern markets are also broader without
improvement in price.
Contined weakness appears in prices
of metal products, notwithstanding
some increase in actual business. Pitts
burg offers steel bars here at 1.15,
which is only one cent at the mill,
plates at 1.25 at tidewater, and beams
delivered here at 1.35. Moderate or
ders for cast pipe have been placed,
and some large structural contracts,
with others expected. Even in the
Pittsburg region, little over half of the
foroe is employed, and only 57 per
cent on the Connellsville coke ovens
are yet in operation.
A few more furnaces are in blast;
southern pig is weaker, and 5,000 tons
of southern warrants have been taken
by English holders, who now have
45,000. There are heavy transactions
in lake ore at Pittsburg and it is said
with ore at $2.75, coke at 5 cents and
wages reduced 20 per cent, many fur
naces can make iron at a profit, even
at present prices. The decrease in
domestic trade reported by clearings
is 40.8 per cent for the week and 25.6
outside New York, a little less than
last week.
Imports of merchandise still show a
decrease of 40 per cent, while exports
of domestic products for three weeks
are 5 per cent larger than last year.
The most encouraging feature of the
week’s record is the continued decrease
in number and importance of failures.
For the third week of February, lia
bilities thus far reported are only $2,-
8S6,346, and for three weeks of tho
month only $11,420,418, of which $5,-
045,847 were of manufacturing and
$6,281,693 of trading concerns. The
number reported in February is 1,200
against 2,080 in January, and the full
liabilities were probably less than
$15,000,000, against $30,946,497 in
J anuary.
In November and December the
amount exceeded $60,000,000. For the
past week the failures have been 264 in
tin. United States against 206 last year,
and 42 iu Canhda, against 52 last year,
scarcely any being of much importance.
THE SECOND OF AUGUST
BURIAL OF GEN. EARLY.
Laid to Rest at Lynclibarg—Many
Old Yeterans Do Him Honor.
The funeral of General Jubal An
derson Early took place at Lynchburg
Monday afternoon from St. Paul’s
church. T. M. Carson, the rector, offi
ciating, assisted by Revs. Hall and

mond Howitzers also took part in the
ceremonies. The corps of cadets of
the Virginia Military institute, about
200 strong, was conspicuous in the
line.
From the church the procession
moved to Spring Hill cemetery, where
all that was mortal of the dead confed
erate was laid to rest, the Lynchburg
Artillery Blues firing a salute of seven
teen guns over the grave.

The democratic state convention
will be held in Atlanta on the 2d of
August, assembling at 12 o’clock m.
The state executive committee has so
decided at a meeting in Atlanta, and
that committee’s word is law. And
the committee further decided that it
would in no way attempt to influence
the various county committees as to
the time for, or the method of choos
ing delegates to that convention. That
is it shall be primary or mass meeting
—whichever the local committees, in
its wisdom, may decide best.
The meeting was the most largely
attended in the history of the commit
tee. Every member but one was rep
resented in person or by proxy—most
of them in person. It was a thorough
ly business meeting, too; and yet,
although a good deal of important bus-
was transacted there was time for some
right interesting discussion.
One of the notable features of the
meeting was the'unanimity with which
one and all disclaimed any thought of
the interest or interests of any candi
date in his acts, and the further una
nimity with which each voted in the
interest of his favorite candidate when
the lines were drawn. There was one
sharp, decisive clash between the Evans
and Atkinson forces, and only one.
This was over the question whether
the committee should, at this meet
ing, name a day and issue a call for
the state convention, or whether
that action should be postponed
The Atkinson men argued for
postponement. Hon. Tom Crenshaw,
who was the leader of the Atkinson
forces, made a strong speech for the post
ponement, and the test was on his motion
to table the resolutions of Hon. George
Bell, which provided for such call.
After considerable argument in which
a number of leading members of the
committee took part, the motion to
table was lost by a vote of 11 to 14.
TURNER FOR THE SENATE.
dominated for the Place by a Con
vention at Tbomasrille.
At a meeting held at Thomasville,
Ga., in which twenty-one counties were
represented, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted: “Re
solved, That, while we recognize the
fact that the friends of the Hon. H.
G. Turner will insist on his renomina
tion and re-election to congress from
the eleventh district, still we believe it
is the desire of a large portion of the
people of Georgia, on account of his
great ability and long service in pub
lic life, to promote him to the senate
of the United States, we, therefore,
without his knowledge, suggest hi*
name to the democracy of Georgia for
the high office of United States sena
tor, and that we pledge ourselves to
work to secure his election and ask the
co-operation of the people of Geor
gia.”

The Kola Nnt as a Stimulant.
Half a kola nut will, says Mr. C. F.
Scott Elliott, in his report on the bot
any of Sierra Leone, enable a man to
go without food and support great
fatigue for twenty-four hours or
more. It is on excellent nerve tonic,
and is especially good for keeping the
brain clear and active at night. It
prevents sleep, however, almost too
thoroughly, and should not be taken
less than four hours before bedtime.
It is said to remove immediately and
thoroughly the unsteadiness and stu
pidity due to drunkenness. It grows
freely everywhere, thrives wherever
planted, seems to require no special
condition of soil and yields at the rate
of £800 per acre. Another property
attributed to this nut is that of rap
idly clearing foul water and improv
ing beer.—Invention.
Where They Eat Tobacco.
Perhaps there is nothing more pecu
liar about the Eskimoes of Point Bar
tow than their methods of Using tobac
co, which, of course, they procure from
the whites. They know good from bad
tobacco. When they get hold of a few
plugs of commissary tobacco from a
vessel of the United States navy, they
show a markad appreciation of it. The
habit of chewing the weed seems to be
universal. Men, womeD, and even nn-
weaned children keep a quid, often of
enormous size, constantly in the
mouth; The juice is not spit out, but
swallowed with the saliva, without
producing any symptoms of nausea.—

Chinese Marriage Customs.
A correspondent offers the following
interesting Chinese custom for publica
tion : “When a Chinaman desires to
marry, his parents intimate that fact
to a professional ‘matchmaker,’ who
thereupon runs through a list of her
visiting acquaintenances and selects
one whom she considers n fitting bride
for the young man; and then she calls
upon the young woman’s parents,
armed with the bridegroom’s card, on
which are inscribed his ancestral name
and the eight symbols which denote
tho day of his birth. If the answer is
an acceptance of his suit, the bride’s
card is sent in return, and should the
oracles prophecy good concerning the
union, the particulars of the engage
ment are written on two large cards,
tied together with red cords. ”—Notes
and Queries.
