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 i.u ng 11> move away, and my water pipes have 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.

WOMEN OP THE STAGE. How They Manage. Their Art in Die The Secret of Beauty Lion in the Adaptation of Drew*. , LET I’SCONSID- how it is that the non of the singe are apt to outdo us in style. What is the secret of their arts of tho toilet ? How is it Hint actresses nro so g< no rally es- tcomeil beautiful wo men? And how is it that so many fashions are set by actresses? \c one question alipost answers the other. .... cvfery case the secret of their attaining tftflir reputation lies in their skill, shared by almost nil women on the stage, of adapting fashions to their personality. ‘ The mere woman slaps on whutever happens to be the ragd^’and hiio does so whether the particular v rage ninkos a fright of her oi'not. The actress will not Couch ft fash ion if it is distinctly and irrevocably unbe coming to her; nor will she touch nny fush- ion without modifying it to suit hcr«own needs. The other woman coniines herself to the fashion of tho hour; the actress lies the modes of nil linn's and adapts A. WINTER BONO.

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. GOVERNOR ELIAS CARR lustulleil as Chief Executive of South Carolina.

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.
