Mr. Editor You vrill ba>« it) exetue mo
this week, for l agi Bick. A lady friend of mino
told mo about a lady friend of lier'a who whs
"'Iffeying one night from u wretched headache.
!*oe wan a very devoted woman and alwaya
kUbit bcaido her bed and said eotiiiderablo si
lent prayers bofotc retiring, but on this occa
sion she’stood up and said t “Good Lord, you
know bow nick I am—pleaso excuse mo to
night”—and to bed t*he wont.
rlcaao excuso me, Mr. Editor, from writing
my w^ kly letter, for I am sick and the dootor
Bftvs 1 musuH write nor think lor a few days,
for 1 am threatened with softening of the
brain, and I musii't do anything to strain wj
mind. Softoning of the brain lias beeu my ap-
•ehenHlon for a year or two. It ia akin to
otage, and is almost an bad for an old man aa
hardening of tlio heart U for a young ouo. So
I will have to Mispeud until the doctor get*
through with mo ami patches mo up. There ia
only one-half of my head affected now and one
eye. At ilr»t I Buffered a pain in front, but now
it ban creep©*! over to the cerebellum, aa ho
calls it, ami I can't stoop down nor got up aud-
dcnly without a flash of pain shooting nil over
my cranium. It comes and it goes like those
electric Unlit* iu the streets of Atlanta. So I
thought that I would write you with the other
side of my head and rhU to ho excused, for I
don’t want to strain my mind. I have been In
in bod all day taking modioino evory hour and
receiving calls and sympathy, ami ruminating
on easy things, but nave to be careful about
attaining my mind. Tho doctor Bays that I
must bo calm and serene. Ho asked mo what 1
had been reading lately, and I told him that 1
ha«l been trying to keep up with tho Briggs
trial. I saw him Unit his eyebrows, for ho ia a
Baptist, and he said that tho abstruse meta
physics of that discussion was enough to run
any ordinary man distracted. I told him a§ how
before the Briggs case was settled the Smith
crbo came on as a side show, and now Ohio
turned Smith out and New York let Briggs stay
in, and thero was nothing settled in a national
way about inerrancy and plenary insp ration,
and I bad beeu straining my mind to find out
what I must think or believe about the business.
“Stop it,"said the doctor, “quit thinking—
j w u will And out all about it in a few years—
yes, in a few veers if you don’t quit straining
your mind. Let these abstruse, scientific, over-
educated gentlemen alone.” As tho Lord Baid to
Job, “Who aro they that, darken counsol by
words without knowledge? Where wast thou
hen 1 laid the foundation of tho earth, and
where were the foundations fastened, and where
was tho corner stone laid when tho morning
stars sang together and the sons of God shouted
for joy V”
Then I told tho doctor about bow I bad been
reading up on tho tariff and the McKinley bill
and was trying to make up my mind from a.
lion-partiBau standpoint and I was very much
perplexed and bad strained my mind to deter
mine which was tho right thing to do, for if
wc reduced tho tariff' I didn’t see how wo could
get enough revenue to run tho government,
unless wo passed an income tax and cut down
tho pensions ami I didn’t believe the democrats
would dare clo either. This thing had (sorter
addled my mind ami right on top of it I had to
tftcklo the silver bill and tree coinage and had
road whnt Mr. Fairchild laid about it. He is a
very smart man. Ho said that $3,740,000
treasury notes paid for 4,600,000 ounces of nil'
rer under tho BHerman act nt 43 coots and th(
great, danger of business wascollossal purctyjgta
and have an immediate revival. Just fo. .Tl
think I almost understand that, but it has
strained my mind. Then I road what Mr. Bt.
John, tho great New York bank- r, said which
waa tho best thing to do was find out what the
republican loaders wanted you to do
ami then not to do it and how
all the gold mines wero producing by 80.000,000
a year and eighteen months ag/> there wore 17,-
000,000 ounces of bullion and now thero were
but 8,000,000, and the great country was grow
ing faster and faster and bigger and bigger,
and wc were obliged to have more money aud if
we couldn't got gold wo must take si.vur and
paper and go abend stream and dump •very-
imug into the boundless sen. I expect it was
good democratic talk, but it strained my mind.
Tho doctor looked solemn at mo and sorter
pitiful, and then I told him howl wns nil tan
gled up over Jay Gould’s death and what the
editors and preachers and acme of the women
said about him and I was straining uiy mind to
locate him for some of tin sc days I expect to go
to that undiscovered country mysolf. and now I
got some relief when l read the editorial in the
Review of Reviews which 1 appreciate and en
joy more than any modern litoral tlio, for it ia
always fair and square and a mam f rny caliber
can read it and understand it without straining
his mind. .
“Did yon locale him?” said the doctor. ‘ No,
said I.” But I located the property. It is all
busy in moving trains and goi ds end p opie
and operating Gi< ps where there aie thousands
of men at work, and his money is si ill running
lb-- telegraph, and so far us wo are concerned,
if makes no difference whether iho K-vonty-two
mill ons were controlled by one » an or by
seventy-two iron with a million r.jmco. The
Lord’s hand is in it all, and believe that M>s
Helen will do some b g thing with her filmre
hi tore she dies, and maybe George w.ll loo.
1 here arc troublo* ix- rer home that weary me
more than Jay Gould. Thcio ii trouble a*
Macon in the college and one of my best fiiemb
is in it, and there \* trouble light bcie at
homo, and two preachers are m it, and it in »
stored up the town and you c<m ln ar much
a* «1 find out hut little, and Bom Jones is

bur t <1 and there >* « curia n down and no hoy
l ut me,ai il the mx man came i<> h- o mo jesfer-
fay and took tho last dollar 1 bad in tho world to
befp pay the courts* expenses and to educate
Hie ovoi lasting negro; afid wo’ve been at it for
twenty-five years, and the more wo do it tho
nioro tiny g*> to the chain-g ng, for th<ru are
*.v v i wo thousand there now and only one hun
dred aid ninety-five white persons, and I am
tired of the ex; eiuncut, for it is n failure and a
burden upon ns ami is no good for them that I
cm sco. This is tho biggest tax I ever paid
and 1 have less property to nay on than I have
had for five v* nrs, and hero is tho town
tax that is on the same line, and we aro tired
of educating other children, especially the
black ones,and there is too rnucli paternalism iti
our government, both Btalo and natioual, and
I know rich men who are drawing pensions
from tho state, and poor men who fought just
as long and Just as hard and get nothing, and
the principle is all wrong, for no soldiers ought
to be pensioned but tho needy,.and that’s my
doctrine.
I went down to Atlanta the other day to borrow
$200 to blidge over the impecunious chasm and
pav these taxes and a few of those dam littlo
just debts that I owe, and ono bank said they
were moving the cotton and it look all theia
money, and another bank said they only dis
counted local paper for their depositors, and
then I went to Captain Lowry at the Tallyho
bank and ho greeted me with smiles, as he al
ways does, but said that money was mighty close
that day, but if I would come back the last Of
next week be would see what ho could do. A
havn’t been back for I am sick and I thougl
that the captain would send it up to mu by e:
prci-s, but he hasn’t. If a man deposits wii
an Atlanta bank he can borrow some of it bat
occasionally, with a good endorser—so ueorj
Adair told me. The fact is, I suspect the
banks havn’t got any money to speak or ex<
the deposits, and tho state’s money and thl
city money, and they arc always quarrelirflt
about who shall handle it. They harvested^
mostly on Bteve Ryan's money, and when,
man breaks they hustle round with alacrity 1
get a receiver who will help out their d#.
posits.
But it is all nothing to me so loj
as I am playing Lazarus and the dogs afe li
ing my sores.
“Stop,” said the doctor, “you t
not allow such imaginary troubles
disturb your mind. You must be calrav
roue and”— “But 2 can't,” said I, “for It 1 © b
•losing with quinine until I am ae uervdua as
man with tho toothache. I havn’t got but halt
sense, with now only half a head you know, and
when I get plum out of money I haven't hard
ly any. I want a bank, a whole bank for about
a week. I saw Captain Lowry tho otlior day
driving his tallyho four-ln-haud, and tooting
his little horn and ho had Adlia titevenson and
jfcis beautiful dangliters and his retinue aud
posse eomitatus and I enjoyed it and wished
that I was up there or in there and the cap
tain’s beaming countenance reminded me of the
old woman who, for the flint time in her life,
went to a circus, and when tho beautiful
horses came prancing in with their spangles all
shining and their riders aU dressed up liko the
ancient knights, her old man hunched her and
said: “Bally what, do you tliiuk of that?"
“John,” said she, “hit almost takes my breath.
Tlit looks more like the kingdom of hoaven than
anything I over expected to see.” Doctor, 2
want a bank and a tallyho and a little horn,
“My friend,” said the doctor, “youmult.di
vert your mind with pleasures and thoughts
not to formidable. There's nothing truo but
heaven and you must solemnize your disturbed
mind. Tray a littlo; yea, pray without ceasing
so tho good hook says.”
That reminds me, said J, of a little orphan
boy I know whose fjood old grandma made him
knael down every night by hiB bed and say bis
silent prayers, and thoy were short, very snort,
but these cold nightB she lets him kneel down
in front of tho flro with his poatenor towards
tho grate and ho prays and prays and when his
grandma tries to get him up aud Bays gently
“oomo now Bobby you have prayed enough,”
ho shakes his head and says, “ain’t done yet
grandma, and ain’t near done. I’m Just play
ing for everybody.”
A man can pray mighty easy amt mighty
sheet if everything is comfortable, can’t he?
And (bat reminds me of our littlo grand-child,
who was looking at tho 'pictures iu The Bazar
paper, and she came across a picture of a woman
dressed like a decoy duok or something pretty
low down, aud aho said. “Mamma, here's a
woman fixing to take a bath: but don’t see tho
tub.” Bho got several dolls Christmas and
gave them nit names and when tier grandma
askod her what sho hud named her
pretty tin horse sho studied awhile and said I
believe I’ll name him tho “holy ghost.” Bho
goeti to Sunday school, she does.
“Those little things don’t strain my mind,
doctor. Thoy nro anecdotes and antidotes, lr
it wnsn’t for the innocence and hilarity of these
children, I expect I would go crazy.”
But this is a longer excuse than I intended
and is another sign of softening of tho brain.

almost nil women on the stage, of adapting
fashions to their personality. ‘ The mere

particular v rage ninkos a fright of her
oi'not. The actress will not Couch ft fash

needs. The other woman coniines herself
to the fashion of tho hour; the actress

II AND POINT.
in their very conventionality well suited to
tho stylo of the wearer.
The next actress bus most cleverly caught
and fixed by the style of her hair and gown
tho evasive childlike charm of her face.
Loss fittingly surrounded by details of wear
she would be u<» more lovely than are doz
ens of other women. I’m her in a very low
cut gown, cover nor with jewels and furbe
lows, do up her hair in some special and
unconventional way, and where would lie.
tho sweet wist fulness of the personality
the photograph reveals? The mistily loose
hair, tho veiled neck, the dark color setting
off her fairness, in each modest detail, the
whole is suited and planned to beat suit her
contour of feature and natural expression.
The act res* who finds one mode is of all
Hie best suited to her, sincerely perseveres
in it whether it is the dictate of the hour oi
not. This is especially the cose in modes ol
wearing the hair. Has any hysterical gym
nastics of fashion ever induced Jane Hading
to wear her beautiful lmir in any but ilia
one way so well suited to her, and nt the
samo time so trying to the usual woman that
her wearing of it has for years been u sort of
palm or beauty to her. Has tho divine Sarah
ever been induced to do anything to wob her
frizzles in one way or another? Perhaps you
do not like the wob; but imagine her
smoothed down, parted locks, or in spit
curls.
Take this picture for instance. The face
is conventional, not beautiful, except for the
to herself what sho decides suits her. Or
she mokes a brand new departure for her
self. Thus it is she sets fashions. The mere
woman rushes into Dircctoire and Empire
and Louis XVI. because Mile O’esfc 8a or
Miss So and So did in the last play, and pro
bably she looks more like a fright than ever
theroby. The actress adopts, adapts or
briilgs back a fashion because she herself
looks well in it, but another women plunges
into a fashion because some one else has.
Tho two pictures given herewith are both
actresses,and show their cleverness in adapt
ing their attire so as to set off their looks to
best advantage. The ff rst picture shows
/actress who is really no beauty, but
so from her taste in adapting hair
fcown’to the style of her face. There is
pphasizing of ilic brows and eyes, a
al*. dividing of the front hair to give
I hpgth of face, aud a suggestion of
"grace by the use of fluffy stuff. The
Lftre covered, and Hie neck of the dress
[v/ell tip over the place where the collar
liv** grow, and cut down at the lower cor
I.:ivhere it can be done becomingly. Al
fine brows and the long, dark eyes,
rangement of her hair is distinctly conven
tional, with the low, soft curls abotU the
forehead that have ho long been worn, and
which she, like a wise woman, wjjl wear
much longer, because they scf wcllrfinplia-
size the eyes and brows. Note ilie Showing
of hair or comb nt the back, just high
enough to snggest length tq a rather square
face, not high enough to emphasize the
squareness by a taper effect from the fore'
head. She has not a very full figure. The
bodice is only slightly low, and the filmy
quality of the tulle used gives softness of
outlines. Notice, too, that the catching up
of the sleevo puff' is done toward the front,
so covering the possibly less rounded part of
tho shoulder. The whole thing, dress and
coiffure, are apparently conventional, yet,
ns you sec, carefully thought out and adapt
ed. ,
A fuco thut permits u striking style of hair
and gown is given in tho picture. Indeed,
put this girl into coventionul dress and
though she might not miss being pretty,she
would miss being the lovely personality
this fashion from the Greeks makes of her.
The outline of her profile is by no means
imperatively classic. She has adopted this
style, not because she hud to, but be
cause she knew' that a woman
who can wear an exuding fashion gets the
more credit for beauty because so few
women can do it, But she has adapted it
all. Tho hair about her face is cut short,
the soft locks arc combed loosely back.
Thus hIic avoids the hard and trying effect
of closoly drawn hair. Tho knot at the
back is carefully adjusted with reference to
her chin, which is the least bit prominent.
Even her “pose” is made with this.fault of
her face in mind. From the full, round
throat one would expect the shoulders bared,
but this is an actress. The maidenly charm
and the suggestion of Grecian days would
be hurt by a modern display of shoulders.
Oh, if the mere woman would only make
up her mind what she dresses for! In other
words, if she would only learn of actresses.

Tlio “Human PlnciMlilon.
Oue of tho “celohtatoil characters” ol
Nottingham, Knglami, wits Kitty Huff-
ion, known throughout Groat Britain as
“the human pincushion.’’ Siio was
born in 1700, anil at the age of six was
• sweeper in St. Mary's Church, near
Arnold. Pins were rarities among tho
poorer classes, miff poor Kitty was cu-
conragcff to nick up those found on the
church floor, “receiving a stick of tiiffy
for every mouthful thus collected.”
Tills habit of holding pins in the mouth
grew on the child till Anally she could
neither cut nor sleep without having
from six to a dozen of them under her
tongue and around her gums. She
would often go to sleep with a mouthful
of pins and awoke to find them gone.
Tho absence of tho pins could be ac
counted for only in one way : She had
swallowed them. Still she kept up the
practice, feeling no ill effects except a
numbness in her limbs. T en or a dozen
years later, however, she was in a terri
ble plight, passing sleepless nights and
screaming with paiu nearly alt the time.
In 1785 she was sent to the Nottingham
Hospital aud remained in that institution
a yenr, during which time live thousand
(51)00) pins were removed from different
parts of her body. After her discharge
from the hospital she was married twice
and became Che mother of nine children,
none of whom lived to the age of eight
een. Notwithstanding her terrible ex
perience, Kitty lived to lie over seventy
years old.—St. Louis Republic.
Wonders in It okb niling.
Quccu Elizabeth used to carry about
with her, suspended by a chain of pure
gold, a book called “ The Golden Manual
of Prayer,” a duiuty volume of d‘)0
pages, bound in “hammered virgin gold.”
Oue side of this costly volume gave a rep
resentation of “The Judgment of Solo
mon,” the other the “Brazen Serpent on
the Cross in the Desert.” In tho Jewel
House of the Tower of London, the place
where the British crown and other royal
insignia are kept, there is a. hunk bound
throughout in gold, even to the wires of
the binges. Its clasp is -two rnblos sot
at opposite ends of four golden links.
Or one side there is a cross of diamonds;
on the other the English coat-of-arms
set in diamonds, pearls and rubies.—3t.
