The Children's Sleep.
A physician in an address before a
Women's club on the care of children's
lalth, recently said that it is criminal
attempt to save a little money by
giving every child in the family
-d to himself. The physician also 1
hasized the need of early sleep. ] I
-t is so easy,” he said, “to let a j
evening, nervous child when lose he sleep in should the early be j
or she
hard at it. When a physician pre-
scribes some important remedy that
must be taken and which is not pleas- j
aut, a mother feels that it is time well j
expended to coax and wheedle, and I
even bribe the little one to swallow it. j
Spend in getting just as much thought and effort j
your child to sleep every i
night, if he does not fall off bin ehair i
at the evening meal from drowsiness, j
as the normal child should. Give up
concerts, until theaters, parties, anything j
you have secured for the nervous, ;
twitching boy or girl the benign habit
of sleep. Coax him to his room, give I
liim a quick sponge bath, tuck him in ;
his single bed, with a light wool j
blanket over him besides the sheet,
and in a lowered light sit by him and |
talk to him till he is quieted. Tell
him gentle, soothing stories, nothing
to excite his imagination, and when he
is finally asleep, have the room cool,
dark and quiet. Don’t let .him try to
sleep in a room which has been a sit¬
ting room all the evening, without
having it thoroughly refilled with fresh
outdoor air, which may be accomplish¬
ed by throwing windows wide open for
"‘-een minutes.”—Womankind.

Put a pill in tho pulpit if you warn practical
preaching for tho physical man ; then put tho
piU in tho pillory if it does not practise what it
preaches. Thero’s a whole gospel in Ayer’s

and light.” People used to value their physic,
as they did their religion,^-by its bitterness.
The more bitter tho dose tho better tho doctor.
VVe’ve got over that. Wo tnko “sugar in ours”—

XAV.WO <M»1 IN BLANKETS.
Most 15 , . Jttfol Work of It* Kind In
The World.
The Nav. Jo Indian of New Mexico
and Arizona, i Charles F. Lummit
in “The Land uusWjre," cannot vie
with the mode ortt 1 i r jgs, nor with
the extinct Yu In fib .urs but WlfPB
it comes to b *he can d/v lilt
w ® r hL Or her, he eo 1—for :t i
nearly a generation since a Navajc
blanket of strictly the first class ha;
been created. Here Is a lost art—not
because the N’avajoes no longer know
how, but because they will no longer
lake the trouble. They make thou
sands of blankets still—tliiek, coarse,
fuzzy things which are the best camp
lug blankets to be had anywhere, nr.d
most comfortable robes. But of the ait
perl) old ponchos and zarapes for
chiefs—those iron fabrics woven f»m
vaycta (a Turkish cloth imported spe
dally for them and sold nt ju; n pound,
unravelled by them, and Its thread re-
Incarnate In nn infinitely better new
body), not One has been woven In twon-
ty years. It Is n loss to the world; but
the collector who began in time can
hardly be philanthropist enough to la¬
ment the deterioration which lias made
it impossible that even the richest rival
shall ever be able to match his tre-ui
uros.
There are still Navajos (20,000 of
them) anil there Is still vayeta; and as
there are people who would give $501
for an absolutely first-class vayeta
blanket, you might fancy that the three
things would pool. But that Is to for¬
get the Navajo. lie Is a barbarian, tc
Whom enough Is an elegant sufficiency,
By wearing the cheat) and wretched
blankets of to-day -wretched, that is,
as works of art -he can get all the
money he desire Why, tbon, toil a
twelvemonth over a blanket for $500
(which more coin than he can linag-
Ine anyhow) when a week’s work will
bring $5?
The art of the Navajo blanket Is ns
old as Plymouth Rock—and almost ns
bigoted. You can tell a genuine just ns
far as you can see It. It Is a curious
fact, known to tbe student, that when
left to himself the Indian never blun-
tors in color. It Is only when too long
rubbed with our shoddy civilization
and poisoned with the ease and cheap-
ness of our aniline dyes that he perpe-
trates atrocities. Ills eye for color is
elemental and absolutely correct. Red
is king- and no magenta, mauve oi
'ake, but true red. Blue Is good, be-
cause it stands for the sky; and green,
because it Is the grass; nn<l yellow for
the sun, and white for the clouds and
snow-ami these are the only colors
found in a strictly perfect Navajo
blanket To the Indian color Is a part
of religion, and purples and pinks and
other colors he never can use uni 11 ho is
fully corrupted. The blanket of to-day
the most graphic witness to the fall
|ng off of the aborigine Unit ever came
Hilo Court. It ifl full of llUCS that Utiy
docent Indian knows to be literally in
*
rnmous. A generation ago, a Navajo
would have been put to death by his
people if simply found In possession of
one of those witch-colors. But the true
old blanket was ns perfect in its color
scheme as hi ils weaving—and I have
blankets which have for seventy-ilvo
years done duty on an adobe floor.
Of course at all times these gems
were comparatively few. Not every
Navajo weaver was a master, aud not
so many could afford a blanket whose
thread cost $0 it pound as could “stand”
the natural wool at 30 cents. But what
has done (he most to make the old-
time blanket scarce Is the fact that It
was almost Invariably burled with Ils
owner In the uu Christ emisimii Inn giliujimiH trrnvevni-ils w of
the l'ueblos, in the barbaric lonely last
cuddling places of Navajo captains, the
vast majority of the perfect blankets
have gone to the worms. 1 myself have
seen ponchos not three collections in
the world could match to-day swathed
about the corpse and covered with six
feet of earth; nnd you can fancy if
that would make a collector gnash lifi
teeth.
College Graduate Teachers.
An iucouraging indication of the ex¬
tent to which college graduates are en¬
gaging in the work of school teaching
appears in the annual report of Johns
Hopkins University, which shows that
in twenty years more than eight hun¬
dred persons formerly enrolled ns sttt-
dents at that institution have become
teachers. This is a gratifying sliow-

A JUDY BASKET.
A new baby basket for holding toilet
conveniences is oblong and mounted
on a strong standard that is painted
in white enamel. The basket is covered
at tho sides with two pirated frills of
baby blue linen, edged with white
lace, tho upper frill that goes around
the edge of the basket having a head¬
ing an inch and a half wide. The in¬
side of the basket is overlaid with
hair, then with cotton sprinkled
plentifully with sachet powder, and
then with blue linon. The little frilled
cushions and pockets aro also of blue
liueD, edged with white lace, Tho
white frame is tied with a largo blue
satin bow. A similar basket that is
used for a baby cot is deeper ami
stands lower. It has two deeper frills
of linen, on which there are embroi¬
dered a flight of swallows in white and
bine, shading from light to dark. This
decoration is very pleasing on the cur¬
tain that drapes tho cot.—San Fran¬
cisco Chronicle.

TUB CAPRICES OF FASHION.
It is remarkable how easily wo bo-
como accustomed to tho caprices oi
fa hiou, aud how quickly every ves-
tigo of the beauty and attractiveness
of certain modes aud outlines vanishet
when onoe tho ruling queeu of style
haa frowned upon it. Already, lol
instance, do wo boo boro and there t
“balloon” sleevo which looks inon-
strons aud ridiculous beside the trim,
taut, little styles that took its place;
and heavy and cumbersome do the
over-full godet and ripple skirts ap¬
pear contrasted with tho new graoaful
models of more normal moderate di¬
mension*. And over thus has it proved
since fashion first began her dominat¬
ing sway in the feminine world.
Taken as a whole, tho prevailing
styles for tho winter are very neat
perfection, with nothing excessive ap¬
pearing in their chief characteristic-',
with no extremes, and with uncom¬
monly few bizurro effects excepting
those which mako a oavieatnro of
nearly every fashionable hat of tbo
season. Ophelia iu her wildest mo¬
ments never put upon her fair head
any over-laden more insane-looking, meaningless,
decoration than we behold
iC
I point of *1, their •„ absurdity ^ is tho N
number of long, tipsy-lookiug feath¬
ers that appear exactly ns if they had
beeu pitched upon tho hat, hit-or-
miss, fastened whero they happened to
fall or stand, aud when this crazy-
lookiug hat is donned, the wearer
looks as if she had jnst encountered
tbe worst sort of a demoralizing bliz-
zardly gale straight from Manitoba.—
New York Post.
FASHION MIFFS.
Wo hear of skirts that are plaited all
^ l0 "'W round, blit no ono seems to be
able to find them when they are looked
!or - All of the most approved models
are very snugly fitted at the top
around tho hips, aud have a great deal
of fullness at the back. Some of the
newest skirts are padded inside,aud so
arranged as to increase the fullness
about the hips. As tbe shoulders grow
smaller, the contour below the waist-
lino grows anaoe.
Tbo variety in cloth capes is espe¬
cially good, and they aro made in all
the dark colors as well as tan and gray,
and in both rough and smooth mater¬
ials. In most all eases they aro trimmed
with bands of the cloth stitched ou in
various ways,and are lined with pretty
silk. Some have plaits in the back aud
swiug out after the fashion of the loose
saoque, and all have flaring collars
standing np around tho nook, which
on soma are cut iu squares on tho
edge.
A tailor-made gown of Russian green
serge is trimmed on the bodice with
orange yellow velvet, which is to he
the fashion among very many other
things ot thU warm brilliant color.
The round waist has a box-pleated
front of the serge trimmed with fine
gold buttons. There are a velvet,' small yoke

mayonnaise dressing.
This is the way Miss Emily E. Col¬
ling, tbe teacher of cookery, makes
mayonnaise dressing:
Put the yolks of two eggs into a cold
soup plate, beat or stir a moment with
a silver or wooden fork, then add half
a teaspoonful of suit, a dash of cay¬
enne, and, if you liko it, half a tea¬
spoonful of mustard. Work these
well together, then add, a few drops
at a time, from a half to a pint of olive
oil, stirring rapidly and steadily all
the time. Stir only one way, as re¬
versing tho motion may cause it to
curdle. While adding the oil add al¬
so, occasionally, a few drops of lemon
juico or vinegar. If loo thick when
finished, add vinegar or lemon juice
until it attains the consistency you
desire. The more oil you use, the
thicker the dressing. If the dressing
should curdle, begin again with one
or two more yolks in another plate,
ana after stirriug well add one tea-
spoonfnl et a time of the curdled
mayonnaise, and when all has been
stirred in continue adding oil as be¬
fore until the desired amount is ob¬
tained. Everything used in making
the mayonnaise dressing, dish in¬
cluded, should ha ice cold, especially
in hot weather.

Housekeepers puzzle over how to
whip cream without changing it into
hatter and tho secret is to have tho
cream churn ice cold. Ono good cook
always fills her cream churn with ice
and puts it in the refrigerator before
using.
Wash willow furniture with warm
water nnd castile soap, wiping very

of burning sulphur inside aud cover
the box for halt an hour.
In washing grained woodwork use
clear water or weak cold tea. Where
there aro finger marks to be removed,
such as around the door knob or on
the window sill, a little fine soap may
be used, but only just enough to do
the work, for soap should not be used
on this woodwork if it can be avoided.
Careful cooks remove the oores of
eggs, tho tough, milk-white bit found
in tho whites. These become hard and
indigestible when cooked. Another
small kitchen pointer is to know that
puddings, cakes and such compounds
of which baking powder is an ingredi¬
ent, should bo baked at once when
in’xed.
Fruits are generally healthful;
cool the blood, and by their
qualities aid in digesting other foods,
but they do not agree with all sys¬
tems; in that instance they produce a
sour stomach, ferment instead of be¬
ing digested, cause irritation nnd often
produce eruptions on the skin. Un¬
ripe and decayed fruits are not eat¬
able, but good fruits are generally
wholesome. A well person must know
what to eat aud what not to eat to re¬
main so.

THROUGH GEORGIA. |
Investigation Cost ®o,000. j
Since the judicial investigation has j
ended the question arises as to where j
the commtttee will get the funds to
pay for the investigation. Thus far
the money for running the committee
and paying the expenses of the corn-
mittee has been furnished by Chairman
Felder. Without any positive assur-
ance that he would be recouped and in
order that the investigation would not
fall through, ho went down in his own
pocket and paid the expenses of the
whole investigation.
Of course no money has yet been
given the witnesses, nor have they
been allowed any mileage, hut their
subpoenas are on file and these 300
witnesses expect to Vie paid hack for
what they have paid out.
The full cost of the investigation
will go up to $5,000. Will the legisla¬
ture agree to appropriate this amount
for defraying the expenses of the in¬
vestigation?
It is expected that a bill will he pre¬
pared in the meantime providing for an
appropriation.
A peculiar feature in the case is the
fact that Senator Carter paid his own
expenses while on duty, ani received
no per diem, as did the members of
the legislature. In spite of the fact
that he conducted the case for the
state, having no attorney to assist, he
will receive no compensation.
There are some who say that a bill
will be introduced at the next session
giving to Senator Carter an amount for
iaking charge of the case and defray¬
ing his expenses.
In the meantime, Chairman Felder
will wait for the assembling of the leg¬
islature. Except for the fact, that he
advanced the money the investigation,
in all probability, would have fallen
through.
A Veteran Secretary.
On the 8th of January, 1897, Major
James W. Warren had served as sec¬
retary of the executive office 25 years.
He began his service as secretary in
1872, under Governor Smith. Alto¬
gether Major Warren has served un¬
der seven governors, and he is more
intimately acquainted with their char¬
acteristics and official doings than any
man living today. He served five
years under Governor Smith, six years
under Alfred H. Colquitt, four months
under Alexander H. Stephens, four
years, less about five months, under
Governor McDaniel, four years under
Governor Gordon, four years under
Governor Nor then and already two
years under Governor Atkinson.
Tom Delk, the young Pike county
desperado, and Edward Flanagau, De-
Kalb’s double murderer, both of w hom
are in the Atlanta jail, have professed
conversion. The two men are cell
mates, occupying jointly the famous
“12 spot.” Both experienced religion
at or about the same time. Flanagan
still preserves his moody silence, but
Delk is cheerful and smiling, and
while fully realizing the brief span of
life left him, is in no wise melancholy
or gloomy.

The record of the Carter-Sweat-
Reese investigation case is to be
printed and bound in book form. It
will contain a verbatim record of the
charges, answers, evidence and all the
proceedings in the trial. It will com¬
prise 500 pages of closely printed mat¬
ter and as some of the members of the
legislature live a considerable distance
it In must be completed by January 27th
order that it can bo delivered to
them and they may have sufficient
time to read it before the legislature
meets in February.

Mr. Churchill, of Warren county,
formerly of Missouri, arrived in Thom¬
son a day or two ago with a car-load
of stock from his stock farm in the
west. He started for his home at
Woods, Ga., with his stock and just as
lie got out of town the horses and
mules jumped on the Central railroad
track and started up it. A freight
train ran into the drove killing four¬
teen mules and horses—all but six
that he brought. The stock were ap¬
praised at $1,100.

Georgia has just cause to be proud
of her School of Technology. Though
the institution was established only
eight years ago, its influence is already
being felt throughout, the state, The
spring terms begins February 8th and
the president is expecting many new
students to report at that time. Full
particulars may be had by sending for
catalogue and circulars.
The docket of the superior court of
Delvalh county for the spring term is
one of the largest that county has ever
had. One of the most interesting cases
will be that of the county of DeKalb
vs. J. A. Mason, Colonel Mason was
treasurer of tho county for five years
and during that time it is charged that
§25,000 was misappropriated through
his office.
A run was started a day or two ago
on tho National bank of Brunswick.
The run was confined solely to small
depositors and lasted only one hour.
The aggregate amount drawn out in
that time was small, and but little
excitement attended tho affair.
There wiil be a hard fight before tho
govei nor for a reprieve for Tom Delk
—not for his own sake, but because he
is a witness for his father, Taylor Delk.
The old man’s attorneys say they feci
sure that Tom will not be executed
until after his father has had another
trial.
It is given out that John H. Dever-
eaux will be an applicant for the eol-
leetorsliip of customs at Savannah, to
succeed J. F. B. Beckwith.

Care of the Shoes.
As a rule patent shoe dressings are
injurious to the leather; if, instead of
this you use vaseline, you will not
only restore the color, but preserve
the kid.
The vaseline Boftens and prevents it
from cracking and chipping off, and
thus lengthens the life of a pair of
shoes. Russet shoos need a different
treatment as the vaseline leaves a
greasy look.
There are many excellent liquid
polishes for tan shoes, but before ap¬
plying them be suro the shoe is per¬
fectly clean. instead
Clean them with ivory soap
of a yellow soap; wet a piece of cot¬
ton soap with warm water, rub on
plenty of soap, and go over the soiled
spots of the shoes, rubbing in the soap
well; wash out the cloth, wet with
clean warm water and wipe off the
soap, dry with a clean dry cloth, then
apply the polish. he cleaned in
Russet shoes need to
this way once a Week; in the interval
an ordinary application of polish will
suffice.—Rural Home.
Laughter a Great Tonic.
I presume if we laughed more we
should all be happier and healthier.
True, we are a busy and a very practi¬
cal people. And most of us probably
find more in this life to bring the
frown than the smile. But, neverthe¬
less, it is a pity that we do not laugh
more; that we do not bring ourselves
to the laugh, if need be. For we all
agree that a good laugh is the best
medicine in the world. Physicians
have said that no other feeling works
so much good to the entire human
body as that of merriment, As a di-
gestive it is unexcelled; as a means of
expanding the lungs, there is nothing
better. It keeps the heart and face
young. It is, too, the most enjoyable
of all sensations. A good laugh makes
us better friends with ourselves and
everybody around us, and puts us into
closer touch with what is best and
brightest in our lot in life.

” I wish to publish what Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Sanative Wash have done for me.' I had
falling of the womb and leucorrhoea,
and they have cured me of both. I am
a well woman. I suffered dreadfully
with such dragging pains in the lower
part of the back and extending around
the body, irritation of the bladder,
pain when walking and painful men¬
struation ; I weakened terribly. I had
been treated by three doctors without
much help, and it only took five
bottles of your Compound and three
packages of Sanative Wash to cure me.
I can recommend them to all women
su ffering with complaints like these. ”—
