Beautiful Tilings.
Beautiful faces as those that wear■—
It matters little if dark or fair—
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Bike crystal panes where heart tiros glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like song of birds,
Yet, whose, utterance prudent girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to anti fro—
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders art those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless —
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Miss Francis WilhirtL
America has never produced a woman of
whom the people should feel prouder than
Miss Frances Willard, the great temperance
advocate.
The return of Miss Willard from abroad,
where she has been for two years on ac
count of her health, has tilled the hearts
of her friends and admirers witli joy and
gratitude, for she comes to them with re
newed health and strength, and when she
left this country two years ago there v.m-e
n any sad misgivings a.s to her safe return.
Miss Willard is a most remarkable wo
man, gentle, mod st and womanly, and
yet with the strongest mind and energy.
To look at this fair little woman one could
not imagine the amount of work she could
accomplish, and it is almost impossible to
believe she could be heard in a hall con
taining 6,090 people, and > t she often lec
tures to such crowds, and her voice, though
soft and gentle, will penetrate to the
farthest corner of an audience hall. She is
without doubt the most interesting lecturer
J have ever heard. Her language is chaste,
beautiful, and her originality of thought
wonderful.
On her arrival in New York she was in
terviewed by a World's reporter, and gave
many pleasant incidents- of her sojourn She
has been the guest of Lady Henry Somer
set, and speaks of her stay tin re as “a
day dream." When asked the secret of her
return to health, she attributed it to a good
rest—says she is an e.ght-hour woman—eight
hours for work, eight hours tor sk up and
eight hours tor what you will, and one day
in the seven for the soul. She goes on to
say that speaking in public was what had
injured her; for ten years she had averaged
oi.e address a day the year round, and
while abroad she aid very little of this
tv 'er. .yampb ition 1m-
p. . ter, she id, "Sir
, Benjamin Wan; Richardson, one of the
greatest hygienists of Great Britain, lie
prescribed a bicyci.-, and Miss WUktrd says
she took the prescription in big dost s.
Lady Henry Somerset presented the bit >-
de, and she learned to ride m ihii.y
hours. She has brought in r bicycle over
with her. She gives this account of how she
lived:
■ Five meals a day. 1 never thought I
would come to it, but I did. I had to; there
is no resisting the heavy, soggy climate
in any oth r way. There you iiav lite
cause for much of the intemperance in
England. The poor dears drink because
they can’t get the proper food.”
"And were your teeth under tea all the
while?”
"1 must admit I drank tea. I took it very
weak, with lots of cream, but 1 was never
abie to decline it. As soon a.s 1 awoke, a
pretty maid brought me a pretty rvi'-e,
witli shell cups, a pot of the fragrant,
steaming beverage and a dish of biscuits.
Bady Henry used to say that F.i.--i.-.iid
gut the best tea that grew; in brining it
across the Big Muddy, she claimed that it
lost some of its Jim st flavor. At !) o’- lock 1
had more t<a, with a breakfast of fruit,
eggs and toast. At 2 o’clock we had lunch—
a meat lunch, but not heavy meat. Beef
steak was ordered for us, while the family
hud chicken, squab, fish, some other light
meat. 1 v» ry soon lost my liking tor steak
and took what '.lie rest had.
“We had . a and caraway cake at 5
o’clock, dinner at s o'clock, and, at 10
o’clock, instead of more tea, 1 bad Indian
cornmeal and milk, and with every niou'.'i
fui, 1 tast- 1 the old forest home suppers
of Wisconsin.’
“Did you drink ice water with your din
ner?”
“Not a drop. The English are far ahead
of us in t« ;np<rance drinks, For in -t.;n ,
caraffes tilled with lemon juice and iced
water were always placed about tiie table
at dinner; at < .ii._-r meats there w -r< Uni
ties of lime and grape juice and tea at
and. between meals. For eight years past
no wine has been served at Lady Henry’s
table. Her v.ews on temperance are so
widely known that mu.miactar-rs send
sample eases of temperance drinks as last
as they are made, and scarcely a day passes
that she does nut have contributions to ac
knowledge.”
Miss Willard attributes her new lease of
life and restored vitality to tile chi■ ry a
mosphere with which she surrounds her
self.
Just before sailing Miss Willard had a
I farewell meeting and addres'-ed (>,909 peo-
I pie in Queen’s hall- subjects, “Peace. ;:f
--frage, labor, sue.al purity and temperance.”

Mrs. S. B. 11., Gobsland, La.—l, like a great
many others, take an interest in the discussion of
the recognition of the departed ones in the sphere
whither we are drifting.
If Mrs. li. be correct, that there is no recogni
tion “there.” what, then is death? Annihilation?
If we enter another sphere of life witli no con
sciousness <>f life here, then we realize our begin
ning there, just as babes here, witli no knowledge
of any former life, which is annihilation.
If vie know each other there, all consc’ottsness
of this life is not lost in th- change just, as aU
com-iousness of any f- rmer life was lost to any
one born here, if it ever had any. One will be
oblige ] to admit, that if the soul of one on proba
tion liere has always existed, then it has lived
lime ami time again in some form 0t may be.)
And t hen, who can compute the ages upon ages
that have passed, and the nuinber of times one
poor soul lias had to serve his probation,
1 do not b'-lieve we will go to heaven with our
earthly bodies. O, no, “Dust thou art,” but the
spirit, .shall those win: have loved here, as only
they can love, never know each other “there?”
O, such a tliomdit I It is most horrible. Jesus
promises everlasting life in the spirit world. That
promise were idle words if the spirit always ex
isted. He says also there is no marrying or giv
ing in marriage in heaven. But He says nowhere,
' shall not know each other there.”
Bather let r.ie believe the Bible false and that we
have no sot;!-, than to believe that we have “there”
no conciousnoss of our existence “here,” for it
would be litteral annihilation.

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
Follow These Hints and the Result is
Assured.
When massaging the face, rub lines under the
eyes from the nose to the temples. This is the rule,
lii washing the eves, wipe them from the temple
to the nose. This is said to prolong sight.
For moist hands ninety grains of eau do
cologne and fifteen grains of belladonna is an
excellent lotion, after the use of which dust with
powdered alum.
Cold cream is apt to make pimples and vaseline
used on the face will give one a disfiguring
growth of hair.
The best remedy for ill-used tresses is strict
care; glossy, vitalized tresses, kept in order by
constant brushing, assume by degrees a better
color.
Dandruff can bo removed by shampooing the
scalp with borax and water, using a piece of bo
rax about as big as a marble to a quart of water.
For pimples on the face, bathe it occasionally
in a soothing lotion composed of a weak solution
of borax and warm watgr. At night use very
warm water on the facs>; then dry, and rub into
the pores an ointment made of flour sulphur and
lard,
Lanoline, wlvch is a yellowish paste, will give
firmness to skrunken tissues and help to fill out
hollows.
To sweeten the breath, use a tooth powder
which contains orris root.

Acres of Lilies.
From The Country Gentleman.
Bermuda is really the home of the lily,
and in no other country on the face of the
globe can such lilies lie propagated so early,
rapidly and successfully. By methods of
cultivation and forcing the growers can
make the lilies bloom as early as the Ist
of December, but the main crop comes
along in February and early spring. Then
the fields are abloom with the fragrant
flowers and whole acres of white lilies will
dot the landscape. The florists’ of the
islands grow lilies the same as they grow
potatoes. No one there thinks of culti
vating the flowers for the beauty they ex
hibit, nor for the sweet fragrance with
which they lade the air. The cultivators
are practical fanners. The lily crop is a
profitable one and they plant the bulbs in
large fields, the same as they do their po
tatoes and onions.
The climate of Bermuda is a delightful
one. The island is ii'-v. .' visited by frosts
or droughts and it is like one perpetual
spi ing the year round. Gardeners can culti
vate their fields any month of the year
and crops are kept maturing right along.
Tiie soil is of a reddish brown, but very
productive and fertile. Everything planted
in it will grow and yield good crops.
Fruits are grown there in considerable
quantity, but for some reason they never
amount to very much, with the exception
of the small bananas. Bermuda is essenti
ally a land of three tilings—lilies, unions and
potatoes. No other conibinatiou of products
could seem more curious. 'Tiie cultivators
of the- soil are only florists by accident and
very few of them know much about scien
tific floriculture. Their knowledge of flowers
generally begins and ends witii lily- propa
gation. They grow them for revenue only,
and this is probably the quickest way of
saying that they are well grown.
The natives propagate the Bermuda lilies
by “shells," or scales, as we would call
them, and these are sown thickly in rows
about a foot apart. If the soil is rich small
bulbs will spring up all around, and in
many- instances small sized flowering bulbs
will be produced in one season it requires
two years’ growth to produce the large
bulbous lilies which we see in the market,
and verv manv of the finest specimens are
three years old. These old bulbs produce
immense lilies that retail at several dol
lars a plant in New York. A field of Ber
muda lilies is a most impressive and beau
tiful sight and the fragrance arising from
it scents the atmosphere for long distances
around.

ABP ON THE STRIKE.
THE GEORGIA PHILOSOPHER TALKS
AEOUT THIS CHICAGO TROUBLE.
He Interviews Conductor Hargis—l’rai*e»
Powderly, but Denounces Debs—The
South s Produce Delayed.
I came up the road from Atlanta yester
day with Captain Dick Hargis, the tall,
sycamore of Nancy’s creek. Captain Dick
is one of the genial conductors of the State
road, and as he took a seat behind me I
said: “What is the matter with you?giro
you not conducting this train?” "No,” said
he, “I’ve struck—and I’m still striking
striking for home. This is my off day. I
am glad I don’t live up yonder among those
strikers. 1 tell you what, major, if this
government is saved from ruin it will be
saved by the people of the south. Our na
tive born population has got respect for
law and order and fair dealing, but them
fellows up there haven’t got a bit. Their
motto is rule or ruin; give us what we de
mand, or we will take it. As fast as one
strike is settled there is another on hand,
and it is ruining tiie country.”
A couple of Michiganders asked Captain
Dick if he thought the big strike would get
down here in Georgia. “No,” said he, “we
southerners have done had our big strike
and got enough of it." "When was that?”
they asked. “About thirty years ago,” said
Dick. “It was an awful big strike and
lasted four years, and we got licked. The
yanks hired about 2,000,000 of foreigners to
put us down, and they did it, and they and
their sort are now trying their hand, on the
people who hired them. That’s what’s the
matter.” One of the gentlemen ventured to
ask him what our people thought of Coxey
and Kelly and their armies. “Oh, we don’t
care anything about them,” said the cap
tain. “They are part of the same crowd
that the north inherited from the war.
They came down here at the tail end ot
Sherman’s army and plundered all this
beautiful country, and never left a pig to
squeal nor a chicken to crow. They liked
the business then and they like it yet. I see
that Coxey cost our government SBO,ODD
while he was in Washington, but there’s
no telling how much they cost the country
they passed through. Before the war we
would have called them vagrants, but some
northern preachers and editors sympathize
with them and say it is only a sign of dis
content. That's what’s thq matter—discon
tented because I’ve got something that 1
worked for, and they want it, and I won’t
give it to them. The yanks taught them
that it was no crime to rob us, and now
they are robbing them. You know that
Solomon or somebody said if a man sows
wind he will raise a crop of whirlwind. No,
gentlemen, as sure as you are born the
south will have to save this country from
anarchy, and she can do it. We didn’t have
but about half a million of fighting men in
‘he othei- big strike, and we killed more
trim that and put 800,000 on the pension list,
and then it took a million more to whip us,
and so you can imagine what we can do now
since we have raised another crop.” And
Captain Dick gritted his confederate teeth
and rolled his big •confederate eyes all round
in their sockets.
Well, we have been amazed at this last
big strike and we did sympathize with the
railroads and the people who suffered, but
we didn’t feel very much concerned until
the embargo on our watermelons reached
’ us. It is just as Powderly said in his speech
last Tuesday in New York: "Every strike
against railroads is a strike against the
whole country. Our railroads are so essen
tially connected with the life of the nation
that when you stop one of these great ar
teries you stop the flow of the nation’s life
blood. Personally, I do not believe in
strikes. I have always advised against
‘hern.”
Good for Powderly. But this new leader,
bs, Las the instinct of a brute. He would

all about'? Just because the Pullman com
pany offered its employes wages which tiie
workmen refused to work for, and so they
were paid off and discharged. This was
their legal right. Now, Debs orders a strike
on every road that hauls a Pullman car,
and he stops long train loads of live stock
where they cannot gt t either food or water,
and his henchmen actually prevent hun
dreds of passengers—men, women’and chil
dren—tronr getting food or water in the town
where they were detailed. He lias sent his
agents all over the eastern states to induce
the employes to come into a universal strike
and let labor whip capital for good and for
ail time. How far he will succeed, we can
not divine, but the reply of the Jersey City
men was admirable.
“We have done well to keep our places
and our wages these hard times, for we are
assured that our railroads have not earned
a net dollar in the last six months. No, we
wili not join you.” This strike is the out
crop of anarchism. It comes from the same
lawless spirit that caused tiie assassination
of Lincoln and Garflidd and Mayor Harri
son and Carnot. It leads to arson, pillage
and the destruction of property. It causes
thousands of workmen in other industries
to be thrown out of employment and their

hundreds of thousands of dollars, the rail
roads will lose millions and the commercial
public hundreds of millions.
is there no power in a republican gov
ernment to stop these outrages and punish
the ringleaders? If not, then let us have a
military despotism and be done with it.
Our courts have been our bulwark and our
pride. They are slow, but they have been
sure and we have felt secure under their
protection to life, liberty and property. But
these men laugh at courts and scorn the
law. They substitute anarchy and violence
for law and reason. Byway of apology
for them it is said that the masses of tiie
strikers are bulldozed into it by their lead
ers, and that not one-tenth of them are
really in favor of it. This cannot be true,
for we read that tiie police of the towns
and the scurf and scum of every commu
nity are on their side. The spirit of anarchy
is all over that land and their desire is to
have a divide. Politicians have pandered
to this lawless element for their votes, and
It is through them that the police got their
appointments to office. Look at the police
ot New York city, as exposed by Dr. Park
hurst. Sixteen millions of dollars of black
mail paid them in two years by lawbreakers
for hush money. Look at the exposures on
Ward island, where the officials have plun
dered and robbed the poor lunatics and id
lots of their supplies and put the money in
their pockets. Their brutality to these help
less creatures, it is said, nearly equals that
which Ben Butler exposed at the Tewkes
bury almshouse, where it was proven that
some of the dead were skinned and tiieii
hides tanned into leather and made into
shoes. Just as Tammany runs New York
through the ballots of foreigners and vaga
bonds, so do politicians till the offices in all
the cities ami large towns of the north.
Verily they have sown the wind and are
reaping the whirlwind. It is for this reason
that Powderly said in his speech at Prohibi
tion park: “There is no help for it but for
the government to seize the-railroads and
the coal and iron mines and operate them.”
But what next? If lawlessness drives the
government to that extremity, where would
it stop? Wouldn’t the government have to
seize all tiie factories and run them, too?
The lawless element ami tiie spirit of an
archy would still be unsubdued.
May the Lord have pity upon those peo
ple up north who have to suffer and endure
from coatact with such an element. There
are soii*e good conservative people up there.
I know several, but take it all in all, it is
the finest missionary field in the world, and
I wish that we had some to spare to send
them. They are our brethren, and if we can
do anything for them we ought to d > it.
