SOCIAL HEWS
IF TIRED OUT, TAKE
THE SLEEP CURE.
Lack of sleep Is responsible for
half the 111-health and the fashion
able nervous ailments of the present
day. Most people are too busy to
sleep. They work or play or rush
after pleasure when they ought to b<*
In bed.
The working woman is as great an
offender as her fashionable sister.
Keen on her work, overanxious
about the future, she is too apt to
neglect her health in the present.
She may overwork and undersleep
for a time, but insomnia is inevita
ble, in the case of the highly-strung,
nervous type of woman, leaßt.
She begins by sleeping badly, by
woirvlng over little things when sin
goes to bed at night; very soon the
habit of insomnia is established, and
it may persist for months or years
if neglected in the early stages.
Business men also are sufferers
from nervousnes and Insomnia.
80, If you are beginning to sleep
badly, take heed before the tendency
develops into habit. Ask yourself
if you have deliberately tried to cur
tail your hours of sleep. Make up
yout mind to turn over a new leaf.
Bee that you get nine or ten hours'
test In bed every night. Go to bed
at ton and rise shortly before eight
and train yourself to sleep all tie
time.
Sleep, even more than food. Is es
sential to health, and, when the
Dlnd Is over-strained, sleep Is the
only medlciue which will do perma
nent good. Are you tired and fagged
and Inclined to worry? Try ttyi
hours In bed every night for ta
week, and a short rest afte* the
midday meal.
Have you been overdoing It? Are
you mu down and seedy, and gen
erally out of sort.,? Try .1 day in
bed once u week, and you will feel
and look a different pi mon. Don't
wait till you are a wreck from sleep
leasness before following this ad
vice.—Exchange.
SOCIETY SUPERSTITIONS.
Society women are superstitious,
Individually and ns it class This
Is shown not only tty the talisman
so many of them carry, but by their
refusal to do certain things. Of
course, It Isn’t often a social queen
is confronted with the choice of
walking under a holder or around ll
but she has an many chances an
her less fortunate sisters to see the
new lAoon over her left shoulder or
to look at I.unit through a glass.
How many women of fashion will
(lance at (lit! lesser luminary under
such conditions? Kamos, please.
Society women also are influenced
by the old wife's tale llial if a cradle
be rocked when the baby is not in
It the child will die. And then
thorc'H the money spider. Even
women with more wealth than they
can spend thrill with delight when
that insect favors them with ith at
lent lon. It is well known 111110113
the superstitions tlint tin* ureaeuc
of a money spider on one's'clothing
means one will receive riches In a
short lime and from an unexpected
quarter.
No woman should worry if tier
scissors mat In spite of her. II will
mean somebody Is laying by money
for her Of course thin applies only
when the rust comas despite at
tempts to keep |i away. You can’t
make iho charm work hy tossing the
scissors into « damp place amide
liberate!)' letting them bo ruined.
The society woman with n housi
keeper conscientiously superstitious
will not suffer from having her bed
turned on Sunday It's the worst
of bad luck, as very well regulated
housekeepers know. Naturally the
least superstltlrflK woman who spills
salt will lake rare to nullify the
consequent misfortune by throwing
11 pinch of it over her left shoulder.
If she didn't she wouldn't be a wo
man. Ynd every woman who re
turns to her home shortly after
starting frn nnv place will ho sure
to sll down before going out again.
As for umbrellas and parasols, If
there's a man In the world who can
get Hiiv woman to open one Indoors
hs’s a wonder and ought to be con
lined as a dangerous hypnotist.—

APROPOS OF VEILS.
Truly It is an “111 wind that blows
no good,” and the tight fitting veils
at present accepted by the women
are a perfect boon to the grocers. As
a well known Broad street grocer
said the other day;
“These veils the women folks are
wearing, all nailed down tight under
their chins, are a gerat boon for us,
all rtgnt, all right. Women, you
know, are the greatest peopie on
earth to come In ami sample things.
They'll take a taste of this and a
taste of that while you're wrapping
up something for them, and the first
thing you know they're eaten up
about a nickel's worth of stuff.
"We can't say anything- to a woman
particularly those that are good cus
tomers. Now we don’t have to. I
haven’t seen a woman taste anything
in the store for a month or so. Those
veils are put on so tight that the only
way they oan sample anything would
be to take It through a straw."

WHO CAN BEAT IT?
prestige in time. Man, to say nothing
of woman, is ever prone to fickleness,
and In no connection is this truer
than In regard to games or pleasures
of all klnd3. YVhist, we are told,
whether of the bridge or the dupli
cate variety, requires brains, and
while there is a tremendous amount,
of that commodity in Augusta, there
is a certain lassHudinous something
in our climate that makes us some
times averse to using them—there
fore, the picture puzzle is a welcome
relaxation, and besides the picture
puzzle is something new.
It Is really remarkable to see how
the puzzle holds attention. The pic
ture may be an example of the crud
est kind of art, such a picture as one
may see suffer by comparison with
any advertisement for soap or bak
ing powder, but to complete it is
something of as much Importance as
though under the skillfully moving
fingers adjusting the complicated
pieces were evolving a masterpieoe
of priceless value.
Bridge was never so attention-com
pelling but what men and women
alike were willing to stop It long
enough to eat or drink. The pic
ture puzzle, on the contrary, de
mands that Its devolves keep at Its
maddening bewilderments at all
hours. Dinner and sleep are both
neglected at the puzzle's commands.
Men hurry homo from their offices
lo see if they can complete the puz
zle before midnight, and women are
late for all their social engagements
because “I just had to see if 1 could
not solve the last of that puzzle.”
All this Is comparatively harmless,
if It stopped right here, but It Is tho
pernicious custom of the picture puz
zle to so ensiave its victims that they
facriflce ever thing on Its altar. In
the happiest of homes, where there
lias never before been heard a cross
word, there is now endless friction
simply because Jack or Harry or
Tom, or maybe Innocent little Harry,
has insisted upon completing, in the
absence of either parent, the half-fin
ished picture laid to one side for the
further entertainment of the infatu
ated father or mother.
Those of us who abhor games of all
kinds, and to whom puzzles are the
invention of the gentleman who Is
busy finding work for idle hands to
do; wonder where it will all end, or
ts it will never end except In the in
carceration in a mad house of half
our adult population.
And the funny part of it all is, the
picture puzzle was invented as a play,
thing for the children.
We have heard frequently of these
people who can do two things at once
and there have even been a few re
markable men and women who have
accomplished three, but It is safe to
say that there 1b nobody In present
d.iv existence who can equal in this
klud of skill a daughter of the early
part of the last century whose won
derful division of her time between
her prayers and her neighbor's bon
net was witnessed with amazement
Fruit-of-the-Loom and Semper Idem, for Monday only 8 7-8 c
by the great-grandmother of the hu
mor-loving Augusta woman who tells
the story.
It was in a cathedral in Ireland,
and the services were especially im 1
pressive, the devotional atmosphere
being marked in the extreme. The
great-grandmother of our friend was
at first as absorbed as any in her
prayers, but after a time she could
not help but notice the queer move
ments of her neighbor who was faith
fully giving voice to her petitions, but
whose eyes were fixed in a close gaze
on the bonnet of a woman just in
front. In a moment she took off her
own bonnet and began stripping it of
its trimmings. Then, with gaze still
rlvetted upon the bonnet in front,
she proceeded to trim her own bon
net In a manner exactly like tha;
with which she was evidently in
fatuated.
And the whole time, the flow of her
prayers never ceased.
"Let us play,” said one little girl,
“that we are grown-up and that 1 am
married and have lots of children."
"Alright,” said the other, “and I
will be the school teacher and will
have your children to come to school
to me, and I will spank them every
day.”
“Spank them?" almost shouted the
other, in righteous indignation. "Now
what have my children ever done to
you that you want to hurt them?"
Now this conversation actually

took place between two little girls
living on the Hill.
Recently, the little story appeared
in one of the leading magazines, but
no one can trace it to the source
which we of Augusta regard as ori
ginal.
All of which recalls rather an an
cient instance that proves either that
the ears of the writer are always
open or that the well of thought is so
wide that many pens must perforce
dip into it simultaneously.
Something like a score of years or
more ago, a group of young men kept
bachelor hall in Augusta, and had
home made a aParadlse for them
through the kindly, faithful and pro
ficient ministratior of a young col
ored lad who possessed all the vir
tues and none of the vices or his race.
One morning, the unprecedented
thing happened. Joe did not come
to work. The second morning also,
he did not come. The .place where
he spent his hours of were not
known, for he had never before fail
ed to appear at the appointed hour,
and so inquiry was impossible.
The third morning there came a
knocking at the door, and there ap
peared an aged negress who bowed
humbly before the young gentlemen.
“Mornln’, Massas," she said. “I’s
Joe's mammy, and I’m come to as’
yer please to 'scuse Joe, cos Joe's
dead.”
The writer related this, a few years
later, in New York and the people
