A Pair of Gloves.
Two little gloves-an outgrown pair
Of tiniest make ami measure ;
For years they have lain in hiding
there.
With many another treasure.
But hilly a few can understand
How memory with them lingers,
And see the shape of the baby hand
And feel the clinging lingers.
What if the time that is gone is dumb?
By these is the silence broken;
Even the hole in the little thumb
Isa story softly spoken.
Calling and waking memories—
Not dead, but simply sleeping,
For life is before their owner’s eyes;
Her hand in another’s keeping.
Little hands cling to her own to-day
And footsteps run to meet her;
The simplest words that the little
lips sny—
Was there ever a music sweeter?
And these are her gloves, long since
outgrown,
Yet prized beyond all measure;
Ah, most of us such little trifles own,
That dee]) in our hearts we treasure.

Skin.

I suffered with falling and con
gestion of the womb, with severe
pains through the groins. 1 suf
fered terribly at the time of men
struation, had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
What to try 1 knew not, for it
seemed that I had tried all and
failed, but 1 bad never tried Wine
of Cardui, that blessed remedy for
sick women. I found it pleasant
to take and soon knew that I had
the right medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven bottles I
was a well woman.

Mrs. Bush is now in perfect
health because she took Wine of
Cardui for menstrual disorders,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on the road to health.

An Act of Congress of 1898,
amended in April last, provides
for extra compensation for those
officers and men who enlisted in
the United States Army during llie
Spanish war, and those who ap
plied for enlistment and were re
jected.
1st. Those officers and men
who enlisted in the Georgia regi
ments and artillery companies will
receive pay for the period between
the date of assemby at the ren
dezvous and the date they were
mustered in the United States ser
vice.
2nd. Those who were rejected
will receive pay from date of as
sembly to date of rejection and
actual transportation.
This extra compensation will be
allowed, although the officers and
men have already been paid for
the same time.
No information except the re
cords is needed as to those muster
ed in.
There are no records of those
who were rejected, and it will be
necessary for everyone who was
rejected to write and give me the
following information:
1st. Name he gave when
tempted to join.
2nd. Company or regiment
attempted to join.
3rd. Place where he was ex
amined, and surgeon who examin
ed him, time between the date ho
agreed to enlist and the date he
was rejected. How many days?
4th. The actual cost of trans
portation from his home to place
he was examined and back to his
home.
5th. His present post'office ad
dress.
It is exceedingly important that
I have this information ot the
earliest possible time.
By the authority of the Govern
or of Georgia, I will collect and
disburse the amount due under
this Act.
Those interested will address all
communications to the under
signed. G. G. JANES,
Cedartown, Ga.
One of the chief causes of rough
lips and chapped hands is in
sufficient drying. 11 the hands
and lips are left damp, and then
exposed to cold air, ^the skin on
them becomes frayed and rough.
To wash and then go out into the
open air is also injurious. The
skin should lie lightly wiped over
with a little soft rag in cold cream.
Tliis will protect from the cold
without making the skin look
greasy.
For the hands, a little finely
powdered starch rubbed in after
washing will insure complete dry-
j ing and so protect the skin.
Another useful preventive of
j rough hands is made as follows:
Equal parts of pure glycerine and
lemon juice thoroughly mixed,
and well rubbed into the back of
j the hands each time after wash
ing. This is chiefly useful as a
| preventive of ‘‘chapping,” aB if
the skin is actually broken the
asidity of the lemon juice will
: produce smarting. In this case
nothing is better than pure mut
ton fat, well rubbed in at night
1 before putting on sleeping-gloves.
If these precautions are taken,
and if the children are never ah
J lowed to go out in the open air
. without gloves, there is little risk
; of their hands becoming sore and
j rough.

“You know that the vital ener
gies are at lower ebb at night than
in the day time,” said an old
watchmaker. “Would you believe
that some watches—especially the
cheaper ones—are similarly affect'
ed.
“You know a good watchmaker
always wants several days in which
to regulate a timepiece. That is
because the only way to regulate
it properly is to compare it with a
chronometer at the same hour
! every day. Otherwise the vuria-
| tions in the speed of the watch will
I baffle his efforts.
| “Tho man to whom 1 was ap-
I prenticed told mo this, and I
i thought the idea absurd. We
! were working late one night, and
he called my attention to a lot of
watches we had regulated and
i ready lo deliver. It was near
j midnight, and every watch was
slow. The better timepieces had
lagged behind some seconds. The
cheaper watches wore a minute or
more out of the way. Next morn
ing every one of the lot was ex
actly right.
“The fact is you can regulate a
watch to make exactly twenty-four
hours a day, but you can’t per
suade it to mako just sixty minutes
in each of the twenty-four hours.
Why this is so no one can tell.”—

Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for a
girl, and if she does not learn it
when she is young she never will.
It takes a great deal of neatness
to make a girl look attractive. A
girl that is not neatly dressed is
called a sloven, and no one likes
to look at her. Her face may be
pretty and her eyes bright, but if
there is a spot of dirt on her cheek
and her finger ends are black with
ink and her shoestring are dang
ling and her apron is dirty and
her collar is not buttoned and her
skirts torn she will not be liked.
Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned the lesson it will al
most take care of itself.
Grated potatoes soaked in water
in the proportion of two medium
sized potatoes to the quart make an
excellent liquid for sponging wool
en goods or for washing delicately
colored fabrics.
A slice of potato will clean oil
paintings without injury and dip
ped m baking soda will brighten
silver.
Chopped potatoes and a little so
da or ammonia will remove all
cloudiness or discolorations in ca
rafes or vinegar cruets.
Brighten the zinc under tho
stove l>y rubbing with raw pota
toes.
If quickly done, raw potatoes
will remove spots from a polished
dining table. Finish with equal
parts of turpentine and melted

Wonderful stories are often re
lated of the loss of precious ar
ticles and their marvelous recov'
ery, such as the dropping of a
wntch oyer-board while fishing
and later recovering it from the
, stomach of a pike; dissecting gold
j riugs from the “innards” of trout
which snapped the glittering toy
before it reached bottom; digging
a set of false teeth, lost when
bathing, from the stomach of a
cutfih, etc. But truth is stranger
i than fiction. Anybody who will
j can lie, but here is a true story of
I James H. Prentiss of Ann Arbor,
who, while fishing at Zukey lake,
lost the $200 setting on bis diam
ond ring. Hoping that tho glitter
might have attracted a bite from a
pickerel, which grabs greedily for
a flashing spoonhook, every fish
caught was carfully dissected, and
Prentiss had just about given up
hope of beholding bis $200 sparkle
again when, as the last fish had
been ripped up the front, be hung-
I ed if the gem wasn’t found wed.w-

Two Extremes With Like
Results.
Mr. Chas. Williams, recently
promoted to the deputy collector
ship in the internal revenue service
iu the Southern district, has been
assigned to the position hen: form
erly occupied by Mr. H. L. Rich
ardson.— Eagle.
The position of a rich and idle
woman, bedded in a luxurious
home, with all the arts and crafts
ministering to her personal gratifi
cation and the extension of her
vanity, from body to dress, from
dress to homo and furniture, and
with all the endless fripperies of
display, is one of painful abnorm
ality. A woman working all the
time in her home is primitive, but
genuine. She represents an early
period of development, it is true,
but one of use and beauty and
righteousness in its time. A wo
man who works neither in the
house nor out of it, who greedily
accepts a’l that human labor and
human wisdom and human skill
can do for her, and who does noth
ing in return for any human crea
ture—this pitiable being can only
be regarded as a morbid by-pro
duct of the home. She does not
make the home, 9he does not pay
for it, she does not serve it, and
she has no vital use or place either
in the home or in the world; yet
she is, in her way, an inevitable
result of too much home—just as
ft toiling, narrow-minded drudge
is another.—Ex.
