Emily Post in Everybody’s Magazine. Two hundred and sixty dollars were paid this season for a hat. I know this to be true, because I saw the hat and the woman who bought it, and I was told the price. What was it? A hand ful of straw, a wisp of tulle, and a spray of feather. Two hundred and sixty dollars! Of course this is not an average price, even among the rich. But the aver ages, as well as the single instances of extravagance, are startling. Fifteen years ago $25—$30 at the out ride—would have bought the most elab orate bonnet in the most expensive shopping center of the world—New York. To-day the Fifth avenue shops are asking $30 for the plainest domes tic toque or shade hat, and have shelves full of French importations at prices ranging from $100 to $176. The $10 “trimmed” sailor that used to be worn with serge dresses; the mull hats cost ing $5; the big rough garden hats at about the same price; the leghorns that used to run as high as $15, have been replaced by $30 round hats, $50 picture hats, $50 lingerie hats and hand-made straws running into three numerals. The effect upon women extravagant ly inclined of the constant repetition of these exorbitant prices is inevitably de moralizing. One goes into a hat shop, for instance, asking for something in black straw that one may put right on. A saleswoman in clinging black With bejeweled fingers languidly lifts down from a mirrored case a quite unpreten tious little hat. “This one,” she says—as though it were too trifling to waste time over— "you may have for $40; or this one—of course, it is rather smart—$50. One then protests that one wants an ordinary little hat. With a manner of indescribable com passion the saleswoman then holds at arm’s length an obvious pariah for $25, drops it as soon as possible, and ca resses a very smart imported model. “This is only $150,” she tells you—she is confidentially ingratiating now. “It may, of course, seem expensive to one not versed in modern millinery, but the feathers are made of three hundred separate pieces, the roses are colored by hand, and the straw is of a kind woven only by a certain great French house,” and so on. And presently the $25 domestic hat looks rather poor and plain beside the foreign importation—a few of which are, considering their beauty, quite reasonable. At the dressmakers’ the advance is quite the same, and one repeats the in sidiously corrupting experience. Dresses that were once sold for $160 now sell at sums from $225 up to double that amount. Women hear $250 so common ly quoted for afternoon dresses, tea gowns, cloth costumes and house dresses, that many who ought not to pay over $50 for their best frocks come to think $125 for a muslin or foulard distinctly cheap. In no country do women spend so much money on their personal adorn ment as in America. The American woman is clothes mad. Not only does she wear more expensive clothes and jewels than women of other countries, but she wears a far greater variety, and her taste for elaborateness amounts to a craze. Nowhere in the world does one see this same over-elaborate dress ing save among the declasse women abroad—at Trouville, Ostend, or some such watering place. Throughout Eu rope the women of high nobility and social position are like wrens compared with these cockatoos of the half-world. It is an unpleasant thought that it is the latter who set the standard which our fashionable women follow with naive avidity. For, though we have gradually be come used to the exaggeration of re garding American women as queens and princesses, we have forgotten that the husbands are not all kings and princes—of finance. The result is that our women, each striving to look as if she were the wife or the daughter of royalty, are driving decent, practical husbands and fathers into frantic, heartbreaking methods in their at tempts to maintain a purely fictitious position. Steadily the struggle to be well dressed sharpens. Steadily, as prices rise, the standard for clothes rises with them. On every side one hears the same cry. “What are we to do about clothes?” “I don’t see how I am to get any at all this year!” "Everything is twice as expensive.” “The fashions have changed, and I look like a dowd!” Then, one more brave and independent, says, “I don’t care; I can’t afford new clothes; I have several dresses that have scarcely been worn; surely they will be all right. ” Whereupon, she of good resolutions goes out to a luncheon or a country club, or the horse show, or into some other concourse of people, and awakens to the fact that her dress looks skimpy and her hat queer. (Why do last year’s hats always look queer?) And there i3 nothing that makes a person so self-conscious as the sense of being frumpily dressed. She struggles, first vigorously, then weak ly, and at last succumbs, buying new clothes at prices that she can in no way afford to pay. In utter discouragement a woman of moderate means concludes that she must either pay more than she ought, or line up with the frumps. That is pretty near the situation as it looks to her ambitious eyes at present, and she who has always been well- dressed, she who has been used to per fectly appointed things, finds it hard to haul down the flag and give up the struggle. It is not that women ten years ago used to wear the same clothes for many seasons, but that clothes used to be cheaper and bills more easily paid. The trouble is that with too many women to day the new season comes and goes with last season’s clothes not yet paid for. To get new ones, therefore, can only take a woman more deeply into debt, and she gets into the undermining habit of paying a little “on account” and charging a good deal more, so that while she is continually paying more than she can afford, her bills steadily increase. Finally, in order to pay the bills, the husband is made to draw upon every available resource. Campaign in the Bloody Tenth. Mncon Telegraph. The campaign in the Tenth district for Congress presents some interesting aspects, although the issues are largely personal. A defeat for Eve or Evans would not seriously cripple either man for the ^future, but the facts hang around the two men—Watson and Hardwick. The triumph of the latter would establish him not only as a force in the district but in Georgia, because he would tri umph over the man who is credited with having put him in Congress and kept him there. His defeat would for ever eliminate him, because in that case it would be made to appear that he was really and only Watson’s man. He will become his own man, independ ent of Watson and in spite of Watson, if he triumphs. And in case of his tri umph Watson would lose seriously in prestige and influence. Therefore, we say that Hardwick and Watson have more at stake than Eve or Evans. It is a fight between Hardwick and Wat son, the latter of course not being a candidate. It has been charged that Watson is losing his personal strength before the people. The result of this contest will make or unmake the truth of the charge, and it will therefore be watched by his friends and his foes We shall not bo surprised to see him take the stump before it is over, par ticularly if his friend, Charlie Mc Gregor, enters the race, as now seems probable. It is the fight of Hardwick’s life. Watson, too, nas much at stake, since he has publicly and completely repudia ted his former friend. The bloody Tenth promises to become the center of political activity in the State this year. GOOD NEWS. Many Newnan Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby, “Good News travels fast,” and the thousands of bad back sufferers in New nan are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is baa no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: W. D. Hill, 61 Murray street, New nan, Ga., says : “Some years ago I re ceived a severe fall, anti, as a result, my kidneys became affected. After that I was a constant sufferer from backache, the pains sometimes extend ing into my Bhoulders, and even as far as my neck. When I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store I was in quite a serious condition, and placed all niy hopes in their bringing me relief. I was not disappointed, for, after a short use, they entirely cured me. I have not had the least sign of kidney trouble since, and I willingly give Doan’s Kidney Pills my indorse ment.” For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents.

The daily cost of crime committed in this country amounts to $3,500,000, or the astonishing total of $1,277,000,000 a year—a sum that would pay the total national debt in two years. Two hundred persons are done to death by violence every week, making 10,000 murders every year, a number equal to the army which,Cyrus led over the plains of Persia into Central Asia, the march of which Xonophen chroni cles “The Anabasis.” In Chicago alone there are 120 mur ders a year. In London, with four times the population, there are but 20 murders; while Paris, .supposed to be the modern Babylon, records but 16. Crime is on the increase in this coun try. Even little girls and boys engage in hold-ups. In Philadelphia one per son is arrested out of every 17 in the population. New York can boast of 200,000 arrests a year. We boast of our laws and institutions. The artist depicts our progress on can vas, while the orator proclaims it from a thousand platforms. You may lay the blame on the negro and the immigrant, hut the native white American don’t seem to be much better. Here are the nationalities of homicides: Native white, 42.94 per cent.; foreign born, 16.64 per cent.; ne groes, 37J per cent. Vagabondia has followed the natural tendency, and is now a trust fully or ganized with districts, lieutenancies, boards of directors, meeting places, grips, passwords and a sign language. There are more than a million tramps in the country at the present time. The organization is growing rapidly, and only requires a competent leader to make it the most formidable criminal problem the country has ever had to face. There are upwards of 100,000 men and women serving time in the penitentiaries of the land. Wo are the most lawless country in the civilized world to-day. How far is woman responsible for this lawlessness? Her luxury, her ex travagance, her addiction to the pleas ures of the world, her recklessness of duty, her irresponsibility, must be reck oned, but I believe that in the main the cause of these fatal crimes is the neglect'of the home. Where now in many a home to-day is the father? Where is the mother? If she drinks and gambles where is the moral power? The influence of the home is gone. This oldest institution—older than any civil government on earth, older than any ecclesiastical organization — a riould on this divinely-blinded society keep up its old-time purity. Andiyet what do we see about us? The* wrecks of, homes; the shadows and ghosts of homes; the home life slowly dying out, and with it the home influence, the home training, the home religion. Uncle Joe is Like Deacon. Apropos of Speaker Cannon and his difficulties in the House, Jerome S. Mc- Wade, at a dinner, said: “Speaker Cannon is crafty. He goes his own way. He reminds me of a dea con in my native Duluth. “The deacon was notorious for being long-winded. If he rose to speak at prayer meeting or revival, or love feast, he was sure to keep the floor half an hour. It was on the deacon’s account, when a tremondous conflict arose over the building of a new wing to the church, that a rule was made that no speaker at the final building discussion should take longer than five minutes. “At a final discussion, held in the Sunday-school, a half-dozen speakers had expressed their views and had sat down promptly when a tap of the bell announced the time waB up, and then the deacon rose. “The deacon droned on in his old fa miliar way, and when the bell rang he had not oven gotten to his subject. The bell's sharp tinkle caused him to start and frown. “ ‘Am I to understand,’ he said, ‘that my five minutes have expired?’ “ ‘Yes, deacon,’ said the pastor, and the audience tittered slightly. “ ‘Then, brethren, ’ said the deacon, ‘I will throw the rest of my remarks into the form of a prayer.’ ” Courtship in Church. A young gentleman happening to sit in church in a pew adjoining one in which sat a young lady for whom he conceived a sudden and violent passion, was desirous of entering into a court ship on the spot; but the place not suit ing a formal declaration, the exigency of the case suggested the following plan: He politely handed his fair neighbor ( a bible (open) with a pin stuck in the following text: Second Epistle of John, verse fifth—“And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the begin ning, that we love one another.” She returned it, pointing to the second chapter of Ruth, verse tenth—"Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, ‘Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst take knowledge of me, seeing that I am a stranger?’ ” He returned the book, pointing to the thir teenth verse of the Third’ Epistle of John—"Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and. ink, but 1 trust to come unto you, and sneak face to face, that our joy may he full.” From the above inter view a marriage took place the ensuing week. GUARANTEED DANDRUFF CURE No Goat For Tom. The Sunday-school lesson had been on the efficacy of prayer, and the teach er had done her best to instill into the youthful mind the belief that our pray ers are answered. There was one doubting Thomas, however, who insisted that he knew better. “Why, Tommy, I am surprised to hear you say you don't believe our prayers are answered!” expostulated the teacher. “I knnw they ain’t,” persisted Tom my doggedly. “What makes you think so?” asked the teacher. “I don’t think so, I know it,” re plied Tommy. “You know tho angels brought a new baby to our house last week.” “Yes, I heard about that,” said the teacher. “Now, surely, that was an answer to prayer, wasn’t it?” It was, nit,” replied Tommy,’dis gustedly. “Why, for six months I’d been praying for a goat.” Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets will brace up the nerves, banish sick headache, prevent despondency nnd regulate the whole system.

Many times a swallow of water will stop it. If simple measures fail the following has been found very efficacious: The nerveB that produce the hiccough are near the surface of the neck. They may be reached and compressed by placing two fingers right in tho center of the top of tho breastbone between the two cords that run up either side of the neck and press inward, down ward and outward. A few minutes’ pressure of this kind will stop the most obstinate hiccough. “Do you love children?” asked the mistress of the house, when satisfied that the girl would suit with respect to most requirements. ‘Well, mum,” responded the Celt, with a grim smile, “that all depends on the wages.” What melancholy fact is there about a calendar?
