THE GAJNESV1LLE SEWS, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 6, 190-2 Cbe Gainesville news. INDUSTRIA t Official Organ City of Gainesville. Gainesville, Ga., July 30, 1902 ALL OVER THE HOUSE. The Refreshing and Invigorating Salt Path at Home. — If }*ou cannot have the ocean, be content with the bathtub. Try a warm salt bath at home, say after you have come from a hot shopping expedition or from traveling in the train or any . time when you feel the need of freshening up a bit. Away from the seashore a very simple substi tute for sea water is a cup of rock salt dissolved in warm water and added to the bath, When the salt irritates the skin, take a warm bath and sponge off with a mixture of violet or lavender water and alcohol, about half and half, and rub brisk ly with a friction towel. Such a method prevents the exhaustion and dangers of cold which follow a warm bath. Sea salt is sold'in the shops. It comes in bags of about ten pounds, which cost ten cents each. . Boxes of perfumed bath salt hold ing about two and a half pounds each are 15 cents. This can be used in cold, tepid or warm water. It is perfumed with lavender and, it is - said, will impart a fragrant odor to the water which is retained after using. - Among the tonic qualities as cribed to it are "that it strengthens the nerves > renews vitality, purifies the blood and renders the skin smooth and transparent.” A more expensive perfumed bath salt comes put up in bottles at 2o cents. This is said to combine the tonic properties of sea salt with the odor of woodland violets. Two or three tablespoonfuls of the salt are sprinkled in the bath. When the salt dissolves, the bath will have much of the invigorating properties of a salt water plunge. A few grains of the salt thrown into the basin impart a delightful fragrance. The "Biscuit” Quilt, "Biscuit” quilts are hardly new, but they seem to have come into fa vor again and are treated as the most recent revival of the silk patch- work quilt. To make one cut pieces of muslin for lining three inches square and silk patches four inches square. Make a loose "biscuit” of cotton batting, attach it to the mus lin and fasten the silk patch over this, making a small plait at each side. The result is a puffed square. The "biscuits” are sewed closely to gether, so that none of the muslin shows, and it is well to join them in sections about two feet square for convenience in handling. By ar ranging the colors carefully in these squares and then joining them with regard for harmony.a good effect is secured. When all the sections are joined, the quilt must be lined and bound. Sofa pillpws are made of this "biscuit” design. A Piano Cover. , Covers of oriental weave come for the backs of upright pianos, 4mt they are by no means inexpensive. An experimenting housekeeper who wished but could not afford one of these bought as a substitute and at much less cost one Japanese por tiere. This was too long and too narrow, but a piece taken from the' bottom was fitted at the side, and a second piece was added at the top to go over the lid of the piano. A pattern in shades of gold in a striped effect was chosen, which lent itself readily to the piecing scheme, and the new cover is extremely effective. A Novel Tea Table. A curious tea cabinet has lately been invented by a designer which contains two deep drawers fin which the tea things eouid be stored away whenfnot in use. \Two mottoes are inlaid in wood /at either side— "There’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip” and "You can’t eat your cake and have it.” A bacheloi host would find this table useful for keeping teacups in, but a hostess would probably utilize the drawers for biscuits and cakes.

Bepresentative Lacey, who is chairman of the committee on pub lic lands, was recently urging the passage of his hill to make a nation al park of the petrified forest in Arizona and telling the house that this tract was one of the wonders .of the world - when Bepresentative Bobinson interrupted him. "May I ask,” said the Indiana representative, "if this is a forest where petrified birds sing petrified songs as they perch on the petrified branches of the petrified trees, the one where the petrified fish are swimming, in petrified streams; where the petrified buffalo is seen suspended in the petrified atmos phere, having trifed to jump across the canyon and having been petri fied in transit and still hangs there because the force of gravitation is petrified too ?” "Oh, no,” replied Mr. Lacey; "that is in the Yellowstone. There are no petrified songs in this forest; a v ll the songs are up to date.”-—Washington Times. Kaffir English. The historic Babu will have to look to his laurels now that the "educated Kaffir” has entered the field, says the London Speaker. The following is the text of a letter sent by a government emplo}’ee who had been officially rebuked for his intemperate habits: "Having promulgated by conduct of drinking presumptuously, I beg to tell me nominally the person in formed you. r Consulted by specula tions, the case should be reprimand ed for the derogation of my name. When you addressed your inspec tion, I perceived dishonest intermed dling; otherwise I am not a contro versial acumen. Bemember you are forced to tell me. The matter is not to be approbated clandestinely, because it was proclaimed publicly. Quickness of the answer ' will so oblige yours truly.” ■ i i College Genealogy. Hr. William Everett at the Wil liams college commencement gave the genealogy of American colleges. He said that Williams was a grand daughter of -Harvard. The first president of Williams was a gradu ate of Yale, the first four presidents of Yale were graduates of Harvard, the first two presidents of Harvard were graduates of Cambridge uni versity, Cambridge was descended from Oxford and Oxford from Par is, that from Antioch, Antioch from Alexandria and Alexandria from Athens by way of the disciples of Aristotle. Williams was sixty-nine generations of men away from Soc rates, but only nine generations of institutions of learning. * The Oldest Ship. What is stated to be the oldest ship in the world has recently been sold at Tenerife to be broken up. This is tfie Italian ship Anita, reg istered at the port of Genoa. The Anita, which resembled Christopher Columbus’ ship, the Santa Maria, was built in Genoa in 1548 and ef fected her last Vovage at the end of March, 1902, from Naples to Tene rife six or-seven weeks ago. The Anita was of tremendously stout build and had weathered countless storms and tornadoes in all parts of the world; but, says the Shipping World of London, it was also the slowest ship afloat, taking 205 days on one voyage from Baltimore to Bio Janeiro. renc or Daroansm, out tnere is emi nent authority for the proposition that it is the most scientific of' all the methods of administering cap ital punishment. That it excites horror, ^however, is indicated by the fact thjp in the latest executions a convict murderer acted as execu tioner, as no other person could be obtained to perform the duty. At the garroting last year this same convict acted as executioner, for which service his term of imprison ment was commuted. He will now be set at liberty and will receive $100 for his work. Bamboo Lighthouses* The French consul at Batavia states that lighthouses are built of bamboo cane in Japan and suggests the importance of the wood in erect ing builders’ scaffolding. The pow er of-^*esistance of a bamboo cane measuring eight inches to ten inches in diameter, even with a length of sixty-five feet, is enormous. More over, bamboo is said not to rot ei ther when in the ground or in water, while the drier and older it grows the firmer it becomes. f-HR U A DM COG and Saddle Sores Mexican Mustang Linl- l Un IlnlllitOU meat is just what.you need.
