, Home Novel Meeven. Some new sleeves introduced recent ly into dinner and tea gowns of the Empire period are novel, if uot gen erally becoming. These fit the arm closely to the elbows, and are most ef fective in a boldly patterned lace or spangled passementerie. A full puff of tulle or chiffon falls over the lower arm. and is held in bv a thin elastic, so planned that it clips the arm just above the elbow and forms the puff. Ftrnt Colljc® for Women, J. Warrenne Sunderland, who is now living at Collegeville, Pa., at the age of 87 years, claims the distinction of founding at Collegeville in 1851, the first institution in the world to offer college advantages to women. The in stitution was in existence 25 years, during which nearly 2000 young wom en were educated, and more than 100 gaduates took the degree of bachelor of arts. Mr. Sunderland believes that he is the only American now living who saw the destruction of the Turkish squadron in the harbor of Navarino, Oct. 20, 1827, by the allied fleets of England, France and Russia. I>nds Money to Business Women. Chicago has a Business Women’s lioan association which suggests the “Little Societies’’ that have long flour ished in Germany, although it is less of a philanthropic enterprise and more of a business proposition. The Ger man societies lend small amounts of money to women desiring to go into business for themselves, and records show that the losses of the organiza tions have amounted to very little. Th Chicago association lends money for the same uses, but requires good security and protects itself against any heavy loss. The need of such an organization and its success are an interesting commentary on the eager ness with which women are invading the business world. < Flr* Newspaper Woman of California. Mrs. Caroline M. Parker, the first newspaper woman of California, is now a bedridden old lady of 73. Her pio neer newspaper work was done on the San Francisco Post in 1872, and later she filled positions on several other papers. An ardent suffragist, Mrs. Parker has always been an advo cate of everything that pertained to woman’s progress, and now California women are glad to show their appre ciation of the work she has done. In her pretty cottage at Los Angeles Mrs. Parker is surrounded by every comfort, and despite the pain she suf fers. is bright and cheerful and takes great interest in the work of the young women who find newspaper work easi er because she first led the way.—San Francisco Call. The Vogue of Coral. How pretty the girl In her teens looks at dancing school with her white cambric frock, blue sash and coral necklace. Women of good taste never bedizen their little daughters with fanciful jewelry or over trimmed dresses. A plain white lawn or cambric frock, with a little real lace edging fine as that on a baby frock, or fine em broideries and insertions of needle work are prescribed for the children of the society leaders at their danc ing lessons. The blue sash and knot of hair ribbon is sometimes exchanged for pink or buff ribbon. The coral necklace is the preferred ornament for the throat The double rope of twisted coral is liked rather better than the rounded coral beads. The rough ends of coral will hurt the soft white throat if the string is too short or too tightly drawn.—Philadelphia Record. , Care of tlie Hair, Bad circulation affects the hair. The scalp grows tight, and must be loos ened. Spread the hands either side of the head and gently move the scalp forward and nackward 10 times each day. The hair and scalp should be as clean as the face. They should be shampooed once a fortnight. Falling hair means failing health. A tonic for the body will be better than one for the head. Both at one time is better still. Weak dry hair needs food. A mix ture of vaseline and cocoanut oil is ex cellent. Almond oil is also recom mended, for blonde hair especially. Have the ends of the hair singed once in three montns. Cutting the ends causes it to "bleed,” while sing ing closes the hair tubes perfectly. Never allow the hair to be wet long. Dry it quickly with warm towels, dry heat and friction. Every day give it a few minutes’ brushing. Then rub the scalp until it glows. Girls Men Want to Murry. Men love beauty, but seldom marry for it. Neatness and good taste far outweigh beauty and slovenliness. Men are born nunters. They value a girl most who most values herself. Men wish their wives to be good to look at. Careful attention do they give to all details —teeth, hands, hair and breath, for example. A stylish girl delights all well-bred men. Tailor-made upon the street; jn the house, a changing symphony in color. Odious mannerisms disgust fastidi ous men. Sniffling, giggling and "mak ing eyes” never won a husband for any girl. A good physique men wish in wom en whom they marry, a higher reason than vanity inspiring the desire. Wasp waisted women are looked at dubious ly. Show your fiancee (after your heart is won) that he is lord thereof, but never for one moment forget the beau ! ty of womanly reserve. —Philadelphia Record. Outdoor I.lf® for Women. Golf has been an unspeakable boon to American women, not merely to the girls of the period, who take de light in every form of outdoor sport, but to their mothers, their maiden aunts and their grandmothers. The | 20th century opened with anew lease of life for the middle-aged woman. Instead of coddling herself, shivering in the cold, and spending her time in fighting with illness, this bright and blooming personage sallies forth with her juniors and engages in active ex ercise, showing her skill upon the links and sometimes tiring out much young er people by her enthusiasm and her staying power. If the health rate of the feminine w'orld has gone higher than ever before, the fact certifies to the great advantages of much living in the open where the free winds blow, and of regular moderate exercise of every muscle in an interesting way. At the country clubs, the golf tea is a feature of the afternoon; and is a pretty and picturesque occasion. The girls in their sensible short skirts and loose blouses and jackets, the men in their hunting pink, the mingling of gay colors, in which leaf-brown tones down to red and vivid green, the sprinkling of brilliant maidens and matrons in elegant toilets, the com fortable papas, who, if they do not play wish they did, the fringe of car riages on the outer edge, with their correct and impassive coachmen on the box, and the beautifully groomed and caparisoned horses, wondering no i doubt at the ways of men and women ! —all combined make up a scene of va riety and animation worthy of remem brance. Riding attfays has its votaries, and in the parks many women are seen with a firm seat and a nice hand on the rein, women who have complete sympathy with their horses, and who look fit and charming in their habits and hats. For regular cross-country \ riding, one ned not, however, seek out trim parks and broad avenues. In Maryland, in Virginia, in Kentucky, and indeed all over the South, there are hundreds of women who have been accustomed to the saddle from early childhood, who ride fine horses with a splendid ease and courage, and who take fences and streams as a bird flies from branch to branch. One may see the perfection of equestrianism in the mountains, where girls were tossed to the pony’s back in their baby days, and where, ever since, riding has been their constant method of going from place to place. A woman never looks more charming than when her color is heightened by bracing exercise and pure air, and her eyes are bright With the feeling of perfect physical equipoise. She is not coarsened or roughened by her activi ty, far from it. To outdoor life wom an imparts a grace and refinement which it might lack but for her en trance upon it The gallantries of sport are seldom foolishly sentiment al, but a certain chivalry pervades the relations of men and women who rival one another in games which require deftness of eye and hand and the ex exercise of judgment in their progress, and, however exciting the contest, po liteness is dominant through Its phases. Women should not forget that walk ing is within the reach of everybody, and that a walk twice a day will keep most of us in excellent physical condi tion. By a walk is not meant a saun ter or a dawdle, but a tramp of a mile or more over the country road or the city street, a tramp with intention, even if no shopping or visiting object exist as the goal which attracts the lady out of doors. —Collier’s Weekly. V Flounces on some of the silk petti coats are now featherboned. The newest veils have a tiny gold dot by the side of the dot of chenille. Gold quills are used for hat trim ming, and so are rosettes of dotted chiffon. The new embroidered India mulls are'wrought in designs as fine and del icate as real lace. A novel and striking evening gown has a deep V in the back, filled In with white chiffon and strapped across with black velvet ribbon. Many new coats have revers faced with shirred chiffon in black, white or the same shade as the goods. The col lar, if it be a high one, is faced in the same way. Satin foulards in small, neat de signs and in soft yet gay colors are to be immensely popular this spring and summer. Rose, beige, tan and reseda will be the favored shades. Lace will be used in profusion for trimming. It is said that the large Leghorn hat with sentimental droop is to be a feature of the summer millinery. The crown will be rather high and en circled by a rose wreath, and the brim will be adorned by a wide, soft ribbon drapery, caught on the edge in front and tied in a bow at the back. THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE. GA. I.oAt Hour*. “I any good-night and go up stairs. And then undress and say my prayers Reside my bed, and then jump in it; And then—the very nextest minute — The morning sun comes in to peep At me. I s’pose I’ve been to sleep. But seems to me,” said little Ted, “It’s not worth while to go to bed.” —St. Nicholas. Affection of Sei* dulls. That sea gulls are possessed with strong affection for each other was clearly demonstrated near the Ogdens burg ferry dock the other day. Two of these birds, evidently mates, were flying over the water about 500 feet from the ferry dock, when a man shot one of them. As the dead bird -was ly ing on the v/ater her mate did every thing in his power to help her up. He would fly close to her, and several times tried with his bill to raise her out of the water. He hovered around the spot some time after the dead bird was taken away.—Boston Weekly Bou quet Flower* an Advertiser*. Flowers have a way of advertising that is quite as effective as the dis play type and cuts used by merchants. The scientists tell us that there is a constant struggle in nature for the propagation of species, so that the fit test may survive, and out of this has grow’n the advertising that the flowers do. It is necessary that the pollen of one flower be carried to another to pro duce fertilizations, and nature’s agents for this work are the honey loving insects. In taking the honey from a blossom they get their feet and legs coated with pollen and thus carry it from one blossom to another. With out this fertilization many species W’ould soon die out and become extinct. To save themselves and to perpet uate their kind the flowers must have the services of the insects, and they have been advertising for them from the earliest ages. The first adver tisements were very plain and unpre tending, set, as we might say, in small type and solid, but this simplicity did not suit the bountiful and ambitious designs of nature and she gave colors and sweet odors to the flowers that they might offer more attractions to tne insects, and thus make their visits more frequent. Then there grew up a rivalry among the flowers to see which could attract the most insects, and blossoms became larger, colors brighter and odors sweeter. Thus it is that the flowers advertise, for, while it is true that their beauty and fragrance are intended in part to give us pleasure, it is equally true that these characteristics were designed pri marily to help the flowers in their struggle for propagation and survival. Til* Horan That K-joyet the View. It was Roderick Dhu, of course. Philip said he was the only horse there was that amounted to anything. To be sure, Philip was not what pompous old Dr. Dinwiddie called a “dis-in-ter est-ed party”—dear me, no! Philip was altogether too fond of Roderick Dhu for that. Didn’t he keep the mar ble and twine room in his pocket rent ed to sugar plums by the month? And didn’t all the sugar plums, every one, belong to Roderick Dhu? And didn’t that wise, gray maned old horse know it quite well? Didn’t he? But that’s another story. This story is about the view that Roderick Dhu enjoyed. “I believe that horse understands every word I say,” remarked grandpa at the supper table. Philip let the last bite of his hermit wait a min nte, just long enough to cry: “Why, of course, grandpa The idea! Grand - pa’d just found that out!” i “Yes, and that isn’t all," went on grandpa, smiling over at Philip. “He has an eye for the beautiful, too —J’ve discovered that. He enjoys a view.” “Why!” murmured Philip in sur prise. Philip, who knew Roderick Dhu so well. ”Yes, the view from the top of Breakneck hili —he seemed to enjoy it as well as I did this afternoon.” “I admire Roderick* Dhu’s taste,” said grandma, quietly. "I took sick Mrs. Bennett to ride, you know—or rather, Roderick Dhu j did. We went round Squirrel pond and down a littie way on the turu \ pike. Then I said, ‘Well, Roderick Dhu, we ll go out on the brow of the hill to see the view, I guess.’ And, ac tually, that horse started off as if he were tickled enough to be going there. | He forgot all about being tired and grieved with the flies. How he did spin along. And —wnen —he —got—to I the brow - of —the —hill"—grandpa paused between the word3 impressive i ly—“he stopped.” , Then Philip's round, astonished eyes “went back” on Roderick Dhu again, until he remembered the reins. Of I course, the reins. “But you pulled ’em, grandpa—the reins, you know,” he began. “The reins were over the dashboard, Philip. I was helping Mrs. Bennett find her glasses. .No, it must have j been because Roderick Dhu heard me say we would go just to the brow of the hill.” “And then he looked at (he view, I suppose,” said grandma. Grandpa laughed. “I should say so. It took us so long to And the glasses that If it had been any other view in the world, there wouldn’t have been any of it left for us to see —Roderick Dhu would have looked it ali up.” “Grandma, will you please to ex cuse me?” cried Philip, suddenly. "I must go right out, and give Roderick Dhu a sugar plum.”—Annie Hamilton Donnell, in the Christian Register. Where Cainplinr Comes From. A page of the St. Nicholas is filled with a paper by Ralph Benton entitled “Talking of Camphor.” “Where does this come from,” asked Sandy McLauren, picking a block of camphor out of a jar that stood on the counter. The druggist at the corner near San dy’s home was a good friend to all the boys, and they liked to ask him questions. “Camphor? That is a long story.” The speaker and questioner sat down behind the prescription counter. Have you ever noticed that row of lindens down on Fourth street, near the gram mar school? Well, the tree that pro duces camphor looks very much like any one of those. It grows in China, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia. Occasionally a camphor tree becomes so old and so large that it is a verita ble landmark. In 1691, for instance, a traveler in Japan described a tree which he found that was 36 feet about the trunk. Almost a century and a half later the same tree was said by another traveler to be 50 feet around. “Did your grandmother ever make you take a few drops of spirit of cam phor? You know what a fiery taste it has, then. You wouldn’t think that camphor and the cinnamon sticks that you like so well are first cousins; but they belong to the same botanical fam ily. If you take one of the shiny green leaves from a camphor tree and rub it gently between two stones, you smell the same odor as comes to you when you take the lid off a camphor jar. Every part of the tree contains its part of the gum, but the bulk of it comes from the root, trunk, and branches. The first step is to reduce the tree to chips, and these are put into iron vessels having a cone shaped cover lined with rice straw. Then the vessels are heated, and the camphor is driven out of the chips. Do you know what I mean when I use the word ‘volatile’? No? Well, a thing is vola tile that seems to fly off in the aif. Now, camphor is volatile; it is capable of being changed into vapor. W T hen heat is applied to the iron vessels the camphor is volatilized, but it condens es almost at once; that is, it is changed to a multitude of tiny little lumps of solid camphor, which fasten them selves on the straw that lines the cov er. It is then scraped from the straw, refined and pressed into blocks.” “Is camphor used for anything but medicine end to keep off moths?” asked Sandy. “I was just coming to that. Strange as it may seem, we can get a sub stance from it that looks almost like ivory—hard and beautifully white. Go out to the first show case on the left and bring me a white comb and one of those hand mirrors with a white back.” Sandy looked puzzled as he obeyed. “This material,” tapp'ng the back of the mirror, "is called celluloid, and it is made from camphor and cotton. It is used for hair brushes, soap boxes, knife handles, and many other arti cles. In another field we find that it plays its part in changing the map of the world or shaping in tne destiny of a nation. Camphor is used in making smokeless gunpowder. Our country certainly learned the value of it in the summer of ’98.” “Why,” Sandy ventured, “I should think with all the big armies every where that most of the camphor would be used for powder.” “A great deal of it is. That is why camphor has been so dear for a num ber of years past.” “Couldn’t tar camphor be used?” “Oh, no. Tar camphor is really not camphor at all, though somebody dis covered about 12 years ago that it would take the place of camphor in preventing the ravages of moths. For many years it was thrown away; It was a puzzle to get rid of it. It comes in a roundabout way, from bitu minous coal. When this kind of coal is heated in a certain way it is split up into gas (used for lighting), a heavy black liquid (coal tar) and coke; and it is from the coal tar that tar camphor is made. I couldn t begin to tell you all about coal tar in one night, Sandy. Some other time we’ll talk about It again.’ Cun I Nnke a Farm Fay? Writing an answer to the often put question, “Can I Make a Farm P<y?” ; Professor Bailey of Cornell, gives in I The World’s Work some good advice, j There must be, first of all, he says, a ! love of independence, a love of the | country and an ambition to work for | the work’s sake. Speaking of the love I of country life he says: “Half of country life is in the living. ! It is in the point of view. It is in the j way in which we look at things. Thor : eau rejoiced when it rained, because he knew that his beans were happy. One day my man was agitated be cause the woodchucks were eating the beans. He would go to town at once and buy a gun. I asked him how I many beans the woodchucks would | probably destroy. He thought from ; one-eighth to one-quarter of an acre. I Now, one-quarter of an acre of field j beans should bring me a net cash re | turn of $3 to $4. I told him that he could not buy a gun for that money. If he had a gun. he would waste more time killing the woodchucks than the beans would be worth. But the worst part of it would be that he would kill the woodchucks, and at daylight morning after morning I had watched the animals as they stole from the bushes, sniffed the soft morning air, and nibbled the crisp young leaves. Many a time I had spent twice $4 for much less entertainment. My neighbor thought that I ought to cut out the briers in the fence corner. I told him that I liked to see the briars there. He remarked that some folks are fools. I replied that It U fun to be a fool.” Domestic Pet*. Once a pet has been admitted into the house somebody must be intrust ed with ita care. Bird, cat or dog, if it be under the roof, its meals, its bed, its bath, its drinking water and its daily comfort are matters as es sential as the comfort of the children. We are not obliged to have pets, but if we adopt them they have a right to our thoughtful care.—Collier’s Weekly. A Clever Woman’* Idea. A clever and resourceful woman, who objected to the woodwork in her bedroom, desired white paint in place of the highly glazed pine, but. alas! it was too expensive so she determined to have the woodwork painted leaf green. She faced the walls with a white paper besprinkled with purple lilac, calcimining the celling white. The furniture, save the bed. which is brass, she painted green, two shades lighter than the woodwork. The dress ing bureau, which is constructed from a kitchen table, is all in white, white dotted muslin over white cambric. The floor is covered with a matting and on it is placed a square rug made of ingrain carpet in soft greens, with a narrow border in the same tones. Muslin curtains screen the windows, which are furnished with cushions covered with dark green satine. This same woman has just redecorated the dining-room in her small apartments. The woodwork is stained to look like antique oak. On the walls is a plain yellow cartridge paper. A shelf runs around two sides of the room on a line with the tops of the doors. On this are placed blue and white plates, mugs and tankards. At the windows are blue linen draperies embroidered, or rather appliqued, with a 12-inch band of openwork linen. A blue and white cotton rug almost completely covers the floor. —Chicago Times- Herald. The Care of Chamois Feather. Chamois leathers are really almost everlasting if properly treated. If they are carelessly put away, after being wrung out. for instance, with out being stretched, they will natural ly harden, and soon wear out, but if laid or hung flat, and only used for one particular purpose, they will never prove r.n expensive item in housekeepiug. The smallest amount of grease makes a leather useless for window (or plate) clean ing. The best way to wash them is as follows: Dissolve a little soda in warm water, and after rubbing some soft soda well into the leather soak it for two hours, covering up the pan. Move the leather about, and rub it very gently; when it is clean, rinse with a slight lather of soap in a weak solution of soap and warm water; wring tightly in a rough towel, and dry quickly in the sun, or not too near a fire, pulling the leather about in all directions at first and stretching It into shape; when it is dry brush it well on both sides. Or make a hot lather with soap, and when it is luke warm wash the leather in it quickly, rinse it in lnko warm water in which a little soap has been previously dis solved; squeeze the leather gently, without really wringing it, pin it on to a clean towel, spread it on a rack, and then dry it quickly before a fire, rubbing it softly every now and then with the palms of the hands to pre vent it hardening. '' > M KEC/PES Cottage Cheese —Take sour milk and let it get scalding hot; strain through a fine seive; season the curd with butter, pepper and cream. Okra and Tomatoes —Stew together equal quantities of okra and tomatoes, sliced, and half as much sliced onion as you had of okra. Add green pep pers if liked, and season with butter, pepper and salt. Spaghetti With Tomato. —Plunge the ends of a handful of spaghetti in boiling, salted water. As it softens bend and coil it round the kettle. Cover and cook 20 minutes or till ten der. Drain, return to the kettle, add one cup tomato sauce or enough to moisten the spaghetti, one-third cup grated cheese, a dash of paprika and one tablespoon butter. Let it simmer till sauce is about absorbed, then serve. French Rolls. —One quart of sifted flour loosely measured, a little salt, two heaping teaspoonfuls baking pow der; mi”, thoroughly together while dry; then add enough milk, or milk and water, to make a slack dough. Roll out thin and cut into cir cular pieces with teacup or cutter: then put a small lump of butter into the centre of each piece and fold the dewgh over it like turnovers. Bake immediately. Cream Puffs.—One-third cup of but ter melted in one cup of hot water; put in a small tin pan on the stove to ''Oil; while boiling, stir in one cun of flour; take off, and let cool; when cold, stir in three eggs, one after the other, without beating. Drop on but tered tins and bake in a hot oven 20 to 30 minutes. Filling.—One cup of milk, one egg. one-half cup sugar; thicken with cornstarch and flavor with vanilla. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Professor Vines of the British aaso ciation expressed recently his - ’ that the century had closed withom bringing a solution of the much dis cussed question of the ascent of sap One of the suggested explanations h e said, requires that in a tree 120 f m in height the transpiration of force must equal a pressure of 363 pounds to the square inch, but there is no evidence that anything like such a force exists in a tree. This i 3 one of the problems in science that the 19th century has bequeathed to the 20th. All snakes hibernate during the win ter and are in so torpid a condition during the period that they breathe seldom during the 24 hours. Small ones seek for their winter refuge rot ten stumps, hollow or partially de cayed logs. Larger ones hide in holes in the ground and in crevices in rock. Brought under the influence of a fire they revive, but usually die afterward as a result. The turtles, too, treathc seldom while dormant. The land va rieties burrow under hollow trees, where there is an abundance of loose' mould, in order to escape the frost. The wal2r turtles retreat into the mud. The direction of the rapidly rushing terrent of air in the region of the high est clouds is found at each station to ' be due eastward ?';ro:-s the United States, anti foreign statistics indicate that it continues thus around the entire world. If caught in this upper current of air an airship or hahoer would continue to circumnavigate the vcrld. The ashes from Krakatoa, the volcano, continued around the ear’.b for several years, and produced won derful sunset effects. One of *he disadantages ot mo tor driven ambulances has been that, they do not get the right of way iw easily as horse driven vehicles. The familiar clanging of the ambulance gong and the sound of the clattering hoofs of the horses was always sure to clear the way promptly for an am bulance. Now’ the ambulances have been provided with electric lights which do not differ materially from those which other electric vehicles car ry, ,vnd the result is that trucks or wagons do not get out of the way as quickly. It has been suggested that compressed air whistles or larger gongs might be used. A return to the old foot gong would probably obviate the difficulty to a certain extent, Klectricity on Modern Battleship*. Captain Folger of the Kearsargt says that electricity does nearly everything on that battleship except to call the roll and. scrub the decks. Sixty different motors of 480 horse power and 350 kilowatts furnish power for every device that was formerly operated by steam. The ship is wired on the three wire system, so that the motors can be operated at two volt ages—l6o and 180—which is anal ogous to the use of 160 and 180 pounds of steam. On the previous group of battleships—the Indiana, the Massa chusetts and the Oregon class—the motors are only 96 horse power and 72 kilowatts. On English ships the use of electricity is still confined to incandescent lights, searchlights and signal apparatus, but upon the Kear sarge and the Kentucky steam pip** are almost entirely abolished. A" this makes it necessary for the of’ fleers and sailors of the navy to haw a thorough knowledge of the electrical science, and schools of instruction, both for officers and enlisted men, wi® electrical workshops, have been estab' lished at Newport and at the navy yards in New York City.
