The Beauty of Women.
Every woman that exists has
some point of beauty, possibly ly
ing dormant, which she can de
velop; it may be a cultivated in
tellect, an inspired soul, sweet
nature, line presence, lovely form
or beautiful face and somewhere
on this great round globe some
body has recognized the fact or
will. So it behooves all woman
kind to look well into themselves,
and endeavor to improve the
good points, to ameliorate the
unfortunate ones, and entirely
forget that they have any bad
ones.
There is nothing so far-reaching
as self-forgetfulness, either where
beauty exists, or does not exist.
A famous statesman, on being
asked what he considered the
greatest type of beauty in women
replied: “The woman who is
beautiful and does not know it,
and the homely woman who, by
her intelligence and graceful
bearing makes her forget it.”
Life is too short to be con
stantly regretting the lack of
some type of form or face we do
not possess. The sighing for gray
eyes when we have blue, and
longing for black tresses when
our are golden, will only bring
wrinkles and discontent, thereby
makes others unhappy. But there
are ways and means provided
both by nature, exercise and dis
cipline whereby we can wonder
fully improve, eradicate and
change many of the unhappy con
ditions of life. —Isabel Delarey in

Shoes?
Not Doing Anything.
Twenty years ago a discouraged
young doctor in one of our large
cities was visited by his father,
who came up from a rural district
to look after his boy.
“Well, son,” he said, “how are
you getting along?”
“I’m not getting along at all,”
was the answer. “I’m not doing
a thing.”
The old man’s countenance fell,
but he spoke of courage and
patience and perseverance. Later
in the day he went with his son
to the “Free Dispensary,” where
the young man had an unsalaried
position.
The father sat by, a silent but
intensely interested spectator,
while twenty-five poor unfortun
ates received help. The doctor
forgot his visitor while he bent
his skilled energies to his task;
but hardly had the door closed on
the last patient when the old man
burst forth. “I thought y>u told
me you were not doing anything!”
he thundered. “Not doing any
thing! Why, if I had helped
twenty-five people in a month as
much as you have in one morn
ing I would thank God that my
life counted for something.”
“There isn’t any money in it,
though,” exclaimed the son,
somewhat abashed.
“Money !” the old man shouted,
still scornfully. “What is money
in comparison with being of use
to your fellow-man? Never mind
the money; you go right along
at this work every day. I’ll go
back to the farm, and gladly earn
enough to support you as long as
I live.”
“That speech,” I said to a
friend of mine, one who 1 ad spent
many years as a conspicously
successful teacher, “went into the
bones of the young man’s life,
and strengthened him for a life of
unselfish usefulness.”
“Ah!” said the professor, “that
one speech was worth years of
text-book teaching! And yet it
was made without an instant’s
preparation.”
“Far from it,” I answered,
quickly. “It had taken sixty
years of noble Jiving, struggling
against sin and self, pressing for
ward in the paths of righteousness,
bearing the cross, following hard
after the Perfect Man, to prepare
that old Christian to make this
speech. Then the moment came,
and he was ready to teach the
glorious lesson.” —Our Young
I Folks.
An unusual state' of affairs exists
in Butts county. The crops were
remarkably short this year and
the tenants and land owners held
a meeting last week. They decided
tv divide what was made and give
the croppers a chance to pay out
next year. This seems to us a very
sensible solution of the problem.
OABTOHIA.

Nonli I’isliin".
There is no record, so far as I
known, of what Noah anil his
family ate during the flood, writes
Victor Smith in the the New
York Press. After telling Noah
what to take in the Ark, God
said: “Every living substance
that I have made will 1 destroy
from off the face of the earth.”
There were no take in the Ark,
according to the best known de
signs, therefore we are permitted
to draw an inference. Beef was
higher than it lias been since, for
it was on a par with game, and
game was higher than the highest
mountains on earth. Therefore
fish. God did not tell Noali to
take fish into the Ark. He must
have thought that fish could take
care of themselves. But all flesh
and creeping things were destroy
ed. The chances are that Noah
and the boys wet a few lines dur
ing the forty days and nights of
water, but they may have used
nets. The first mention that we
have of fish-hooks is about 7K7 B.
C., whereas Noah and the boys
were catching flounders and
“weaks” in 2849 11. C.

When a boy turns his bulging
pocket inside out we marvel at the
quantity and variety of articles he
has stowed away. Odd lengths of
of strings, marbles, a horse-chest
nut, a top, brass nulls, hickory
nuts, an apple, and many more
articles are garnered by this
“snapper up of unconsidered
trilles.” We think the collection
must be hard on a boy’s pocket,
and it is. But do we ever think
of the variety and miscellancy of
the substances we put into the
pocket of our stomach. There’s
the apple and the nuts, and things
besides quite as indigesteble as
brass nails and with no more food
value than so many marbles. And
yet we wonder that the stomach
“gives out.” When the stomach
breaks down under under the strain
of careless eating and irregular
meals it can be perfectly and
permanently restored to health and
strength by the use of Doctor
Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. The action of this Medi
cine on the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition
is so marked, that relief from
disease is at once experienced, anil
the headaches, liver “troubles”
kidney disorders, skin eruptions
and other symptoms of a diseased
stomach are quickly cured.
Whenever the use of a laxative
medicine is indicated, use Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They
act in harmony with the “Dis
covery” and assist its action by
purging the bo wells of foul accu
mulations.

ijiiaim l: ho of Common 'Words
Titter originally means court
ship.
Deuteronomy is from two Greek
words meaning second and law.
The fifth book of Moses is so call
ed from its being mainly a re
petition of laws previously enu
merated.
Fashion was the old name for a
certain disease of the horse. It is
alluded to in “The Taming of the
Shrew,” where Petruchio’s horse
is said to be “infected with the
fashions.” The complaint is a
common one now, but not among
horses.
Bug originally means a goblin.
The Welsh word bug means a
ghost. The Hebrew word, which
in Psalms (90:5) is represented
by “terror,” was in the early
translations rendered bug, the
verse being: “Thou shalt not be
afraid of any bugs by night.”—

It. 1., “what a throughly good and re

suffering for many years. For a gen

Everyday may be and should be
a good day to the business man
who advertises. There are de
grees in the yield of the days as
they come and pass, but each and
every one of them may be made
profitable. This holds with pe
culiar force as to advertising.
People have to buy every selling
day in the year. There are seasons
when they buy more than at other
seasons, but buying is going on ali
of the time. The wise merchant
seeks to get his full share of the
trade, whether it be little or
much. He should know and re
call the old maxim, “Out of sight,
out of mind.” He must persist
in advertising all of the time if
he would secure the share he
properly covets. —Ex.

temperance is to practice it.
CATARRH A
The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and ! 'jf§
astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco
and cigarettes or any external or local application, is ' rjL
just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of
the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary
relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the
bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus.
Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it
checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and
vapors which should pass off through the skin, are „T
thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin,
producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, ~
much of which is absorljcd into the blood, and through the circulation
reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other
parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath
becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red,
hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does
not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the
S- circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure
blood is again coursing through the body the
mucous membranes become healthy and the skin
fcaj.)} k 0) active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap-
pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.
S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the
Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve
under its tonic effects. Write us about your case and get the best medical
advice free. Book on blood and skin diseases sent on application.

Let Children Talk.
The healthy, active child is full
of impressions, and that he should
express himself is just as natural
as for a bird to sing. It is na
ture’s way of giving growth—no
one knows a thing for sure until
bo tells it to someone else. We
deepen impressions by recount
ing them, and to habitually sup
press and repress the child when
he wants to tell the curious things
he has seen, is to display a two
by-four acumen.—Elbert Hub
bard.
This opinion of Mr. Hubbard is
discussed by the Augusta Chron
icle as follows:
We are not always rational in
the treatment of our children. In
many families they are constant
ly repressed, on the old idea that
“children should be seen and not
heard.”
When our children get older,
and we want them to move easily
in society we find them different,
silent and ill at ease. They do
not talk freely, and seem to be
afraid to raise their voices in
company.
We are annoyed and disap
pointed at time, but it is the
natural result of the system of re
pression that was enforced at
home. If a child started to talk
at the table or in company he was
told to keep quiet. To expect
him to talk fluently to strangers
after being “hushed” all through
childhood is as unreasonable as
to expect him to be an expert
swimmer, and never go near the
water.
Children should not be allowed
to monopolize conversation to the
annoyance of their elders, but
the grown up folk should not be
too intolerant of children who
venture comments or questions.
Encourage children to talk in
the fumily circle about things
that interest them, anil to tell of
tilings they have seen and done
during the day. It is an impor
tant part of their education. Give
the children a chance.
