In a very recently publlahed article by Walter Thornton, the progreaa of Woman of late year* la very Interest- Ingly treated. Mr. Thornton aaya. In part: The nineteenth century wa* a cen tury of emancipation—of the governed by the spread of the franchise and popular education: of the alave by proclamation: of the worker by Intel ligent co-operation: and lost, but per- hapa moat Important, of woman by a peaceful revolution of opinion and practice. Woman'* "rlghta” were, to be aure, latest to be appreciated; wom en had to u-alt for the negro, and have pot yet been given ao much aa he re- V their emancipation la now In fuf( prosreae, and haa reached In thla country the aatlafactory atage where every one takes It for granted that a E lrl should be educated aa well aa her rother, ahould have a chance to earn her. living In any profemdon or bual- neaa oj* trade In which ahe la compe tent, and ahould be a partner of equal right in' the marriage relation. Thla change haa been literally aa audden aa the diffualon of the franchlae or the abolition of ala very. Two generation* ago no provision waa made for the education of women In more than the rudlmenta; bualneaa life, apart from aelllng candy to chil dren and bonnet* to young women, waa cloaed to them; the professional wom«$ an waa unheard of and undreamed of. Our bualnes* colleges ore now about equally attended by young women and men. In our medical achoola are near ly 1,600 women atudenta, and thla laat commencement waa the occaelon of the graduation of some, hundred each of women pharmacologiata, dentlata, law yer* ana clergymen. Finally, within a generation women have created a new profeanton, and that one of the noble*t and inoat uaeful. For thla year aome eight thouaand trained nuraea will bo graduated Into a truly profeaalonal life, and over nlne-tentha of them will be women. The higher education meana fltnes* for the learned profeaalona; nnd In a rational world fltneaa meana employ ment. Women are capable of doing useful and noble work In every pro- feaalon, such work aa the world need*. The world wilt call upon women for more and more of auch work every year. What la true of the profeaalona U equally true of business and indus trial life. It la doubtful If at the end of twenty years there will be a single oc cupation in which women will not to ■ome extent share. There 1* nothing necessarily objec tionable in thla widening of the sphere of woman's activity and Increase in her freedom to make or mar her own ca reer. The objections which are com monly made are baaed on mere per sonal prejudice or on misconceptions of fact. The moat frequent I* the aaaertlon that the womanliness or fem ininity of women suffers from the con tact with and absorption in the life of business. Industrial or professional *I?thUi means that timidity, deceit, dependence and Inefficiency are dis couraged in favor of energy, frank ness and self-direction, it fa true; but It la no objection save In the minds of those who persist in thinking of wom en as men's pet animals. If femininity means the so-called female charm, the aubtle qualities which appeal to man as man, the coquetry, mystery and challenge of woman aa the object of Instinctive pursuit, the charge 1* again In a measure true; but once more thla Is no objection. Women should be more to the world than fit objects to attract men; for the same reason that men should be more than lit objects to attract women. No one need fear that women will cease to be alluring enough. If womanliness means the steadiness of affection, the loyalty and sacrifice which are the proper fruits of motherhood, and If a life In the world of affairs means a life without marriage and children, the ob jection would be sound; but it must not be taken for granted that opening the door to professional and business life closes the door to marriage. It Is always risky to prophesy con cerning human affairs, but there Is ev ery reason to believe that the, move ment of women toward business and professional life will increase, and In crease with exceeding rapidity. The reason for believing In this rapid In crease in the Immediate future Is the at»id increase which we know has aken place In the Immediate past. It i» a sober prophecy to make that long before the high school graduates FAIR GIRL IS MASCOT OF ‘FIGHTING BOB'S' FLEE71 Miss Edith Deacon, who has been appointed by Admiral Bob Evans aa mascot o( bts fleet. of thla year die they will see twenty times aa many women In medicine.

One little New York woman who does her own housework am! sews for two small children, by following preventive# such as these, nnd by the judicious use of cold cream ami other similar tiugeuto, la able to present n potr of hands that would put to shame the most Idle of society women, and she nceotnpllshes It all by simply gl\lng tip fifteen or twenty lulnntes a any to tin* care of her bands and nails. And this Is how she does it. When the dishes from the morning tueal have Iteen wanked, dried nnd put nway she cleanses her hands with warm water and a good pun* soap nnd dries them partially. Next she rubs in a little dab of tbe cold cream thoroughly, wnsbes tbe hands quickly In warm wnter awl dries qnlekly. This .treat* to experience.

It Isn't plensnut to wear gloves st night, but the disagreeable feeling may be en* dared for the delightful result that follows the aiiuolnrlng of the hands with cold cream nt night l»efore going to bed. For this purjiose take of white petrolatum three and ouc-hntf ounces; paraflu wax. one-fourth ounce; lanolin, one ounce; wnter. oue and one-half ounces; oil of rose, thro** drps; alcohol, one half dram. Melt the wax. add the petrolatum and lanolin; stir constantly, beating the water In during the process; add the oil and alcohol wheu nearly cold.

Money invested In an occasional innnlcur* Ing will lie money well expended, and with a few uiomeiits dally attention to the nails at home there Is n«> reason why s woman's nails need not be kept In the l*est of con dition. Rut every workman must have hi* tools In order to do good work, nnd this EYES' BEAUTIFIED. Beautiful eyes and laahea are not so difficult to obtain as aome women think, for even though the color and shape cannot be changed, their beauty may be greatly enhanced by special care and treatment. Thl* is especially true of women who have occasion to use their eyes at any close work. While fancy work Is valuable, since It Is aald to act as a sedative for the nerves In much the same meaner as smoking for men, yet there Is always the tendency to overstrain the sight. Insufficient light, reading far from a lamp or on a train all are apt to induce Inflammatory conditions which affect the beauty of the eyes, aa well as their usefulness. In the event of a slight Inflammation, a mild astringent such as boraclc acid does much to relieve this tendency, us ing ten grains of the acid to an ounce of distilled water, or, If a little more severe treatment Is necessary, the ad dition of a grain of sulphate of xlnc to the solution Increases Its efficacy. Dilute this, one-half to one-third, and use In an eye cup,' which should be only half fltled. Salt and water also Is good for bathing tired eyes. Tonlo for Puffineis Beneath Eyas. One of the most annoying results of eye strain Is* the baggy condition un der the eyes, which Is -erj- disfiguring. Disease of the liver and kidneys also occasions this appearance, but In that event a physician should be consulted. To restore the relaxed condition of the skin tannic acid Is generally effectual, using twenty grains to an ounce of gly cerine, which may be applied with a soft camel’s hair brush to the puffihess night and morning. Massaging the eyes and Just beneath them also restores the tonicity of the skin. With the thumb and forefinger of each hand take up the ekln little by little beneath each eye, using quite a little pressure ns progress Is made. With.the thumb and forefinger gently massage, the eyeballs also. This often restores the sight In weak eyes, but care ahould be taken-that the work Is done gently, using the forefinger, begin ning at the middle and working out to the corners of the eyes. Pretty Lashes Aid to Beauty. Nothing adds more to womanly beau- V than pretty eyelashes and eyebrows, and In the case of the former therj Is the added virtue of long lashes being a protection to the eyes. Formerly It was never thought necessary to assist nature In nlterlng the shape or appear ance of the eyebrows and lashes, but now there are estabtlahments that make a regular business of treating them. A few mlnutea’ dally care at home, though, will work wonders In this respect. Oil or vaseline add materially training the eyebrows Into becoming shapes, If the brows are uneven, then the halra tnny be removed by twees- 9RD0N BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA.

A few Implements of warfare are oeltlvely ladlspcaHlhle. % Among the really lndlspensible things necessary are nu orange wood stick for pushing back the cuticle, a box of emery hoards, a nail clipper, nail powder, salvo • nd a buffer, which may he covered with chamois skin or of thin rubber. The latter Is uow used by ninny manicurists and Is considered more eaidtary. It doee not gather or nbnorb germs and can he re placed wheu broken.

Pardon Board Tuesday. Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the. prison commission will begin Its Au gust meeting. It has about fortjr-flv® cases docketed for hearing, but none of them are of unusual Interest. If the senate on Monday passes the bill appropriating $3,000 to the commission for completing and furnishing the Ju-, venlle reformatory on the prison farm, some steps will be taken to complete the Institution at once. Governor Ter rell will then Issue a proclamation to the various Judges calling on them to send your criminals to the reforma tory-. ers. The eyebrow brush Is one of the important aids in their care, and by nightly dipping it In oil and rubbing the brows well their growth will not only be increased, hut they will j sent that well trained appearance wt adds so materially to the appearance of the face; For 8tarlng Brows. In the event of the brows being star ing and coarse, a bit of mucilage or bandoline applied at night after smoothing them into shape will prove effectual. Quite a bit of difference in the brows can be accomplished by ac centuating the upper- line by rubbing the hairs up from the bottom, or vice versa. If a woman has very thin eyelashes their color can be accentuated by a dye composed of: Gum arable, 1 dram; India Ink, 1-2 dram; rosewater, 4 ounces. . Powder this Ink and gum and tritu rate small quantities of the powder with the rosewater until you get a uni form black liquid In a powder, and then add the remainder of the rosewater to It. It should be applied with a very thin camel’s hair brush. To Increase their growth a bit of kerosene rubbed In carefully will In crease their growth, while a pomade composed of one ounce of red vaseline, one-sixteenth of an ounce of tincture of cantharldes, eight drops of oil of lav ender, and the same or oil of rosemary will be effectual. It should be mixed throughout and applied to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day uhtll the growth Is sufficiently stimulated, then less of ten. Clipping the ends of the lashes Is said to accelerate their growth. H For the Plain Girl. Off woman does long (or beau ty! It Is no use telling her that. It Is better to be clever, or wise, or Jolly. She will listen gravely to your arguments, but don’t tmnk tor a mo ment that she le convinced. With all her soul, she wants to be pretty, and nothing will change her views on the subject. From her babyhood to the grave she knows the power of beauty. The plain little girl hears her pretty companion’s eyes and curls praised. Her own ways may be Just as cun ning and her little heart Just as loving, but no one pays any special attention to her. The poor baby leama very soon that she must forego a good deal of admiration and attention. At school tho little boys flock around the pretty girl. She may be a non entity, but she never lacks for mascu line attendants. The sooner the plain girl learns that she must "make good” for her plain- neea, tho better It will be for her. It Is no use crying over split milk, so ahe must not alt In a corner and mope over her lack of attraction. Sho Is generally unselfish and un spoiled, so she has those two excellent qualltee to start with. The pretty girl It often very self- conscious, and that la not at all a pleasing quality. The plain girl Is not afflicted with self-consciousness, because she Is not always thinking that people are look ing at her. Her longing to be pretty should lead her to make the most of such charms as she possesses. She can keep her eyes bright and her complexion good by living In sensible, wholesome way. She can be exquisitely neat In ap pearance, and dress as becomingly as possible. * If she studies and talks about the In terest!: of others, \she will never lack for friends. The pretty girl, of course, will al ways he sought after, but unless Bhe makes hereelf agreeable the attention will be but fleeting. The plain girl who makes no attempt to charm will never win the least ad miration. If yon are plain, don’t fret over It. Fretting will only make you plainer b, drawing peevish lines on your face. Just make up your mind to be ns cheerful nnd agreeable as possible. Don’t be constantly thinking, "Oh, dear, I’m so ugly It’s no use my trying to look nice.” When you go to a dance, look as though you mean to enjoy yourself, and you won’t lack for partners. One crumpled leaf doesn’t spoil the entire rose, anti the fact that your face Is plain must not spoil your life. There are Just as many happily mar* rled plain womer a* pretty. But you may be sure those women did not sit and bemoan their hard fate In being plain. They mad* themselve* agreeable enough to attract the men, and so they not only won attention, but htiaba„us *•11. GEORGE C. LOONEY’S SCHOOL. THE SUNNY SOUTH MILITARY INSTITUTE. REGULAR COURSE.
