AtUila'a Pretty Hkwatkrr.
Atlanta, Oa., can boast of a genuine
curiosity—a live female shoemaker—
young, pretty ami imlnßtriomi. Having
occasion to send my little nephew with
a pair of boo'a to bo memleil he sur
prised me on hid return, writeH a cor
respondent, by remarking that "sbo"
said ao and RO about tho boots. I then
learned for the tlrat time that wo hail in
our neighborhood a young girl nndor
twenty yearn of age, the daughter of a
shoemaker, who daily works at the trade
hcrnelf, not only mending, but making
in good style, both boots and shoos.
For several years she has thus been en
gaged, and has won the respect and
patronago of a large circle ol! apprecia
tive families.

Women who love their husbands are
happy aud at rest. Those who do not
are disturbed and restless; they are
always seeking for some means of kill
ing time; they are ready to flirt at any
moment; their children are, according
to their means, either hidden in nnrs
eries under the care of French bonnes,
or handed over to Sally, tho slatternly
nurse, to shake, and slap, and stuff with
sugar, as her wisdom dictatea, while
society and amusement* of all sorts oc
cupy their mother's time. Home is not
happy to the poor woman, because she
has chosen her mate foolishly—because
she trusted to that love after mar
riage " which mercenary old people
promise those who make what they call
a sensible match. Had as a neglected
wife, who loves her husband well, must
be, I believe she is happier than this
poor, restless creature, thongh sho be
worshiped. The love of one we do
not love becomes simply a bore, es
pecially in tho close intercourse of
home life, and she who does not give
her heart to her husband is not likely
to care much for bis children. 80,
girls, if you do not love your lover,
don't marry him. Remember that
marriage is a serious step, and that
when you give him your band, that he
may encircle it with a wedding-ring,
you seal the happiness or misery of
your natural life. Don't marry unless
you are sure cf your love for him
and his for you.
Fahln In Cnlnm.
The new colors are copied from fo
liage and flowers, and take their names
accordingly; for instance, a new dark
green is called elder green, another
shade is sycamore, and the olive greens
are called lichen green; a purple-red
like scabieuse is marked petunia, and a
similiar shade is orchis; the azealea red
and pale eglantine (wild-rose) pink have
already been noted; the Turc andHicily
reds are brighter shades than the dull
garnet so long worn, and are similiar to
carnation red. Sunflower yellow, like
the "gaudy leonine flower" of the
XMthctes, is shown in ribbons and
crapes, while the paler yellow tints are
maize, like the com and straw colors
worn before dull ecru shades were popu
lar. Cinnamon brown with red pre
dominating and the yellow leaf browns
are shown, with also the dark reddish
seal brown. There are threo shades of
beige ranging from ecru to brown, and
there is pure white that has no yellow
tinges, as well as the cream white that
is almost as dark as Isabel yellow. Hues
blue is a very pale shade, hussar blue
is dark, and Russian blues have the
gray shades that have been fashionable
during the winter. Argent, or silver
gray, is again largely imported.

Morning dresses for unceremonious
visits are mado of black faille or black

Spanish aud Oriental laces will both
bo used for trimming nnn's veiling

Nun's veiling is eqaally becoming to
old and to young women. It is tho
very stuff for children's dressy suits.
Basques are shorter in the skirt anil
aro frequently pointed in front and
drawn up in the back to form tho pouf.
Butterfly wing poufs in the back,
formed by tho scarf employed for the

worn.
Among new pongees, tho plain white

Somo authorities in matters of dress
say that kilted skirts are going out of
vogue; others announce that they will
be more worn than ever.
Costumes for street wear should be
of woolen material, one kind only,
with which a felt hat or t>onnet simply
trimmed, and a cloth jacket, may be
worn.
In Paris skirts are frequently seen of
which the only dra]>ory is a broad sash
tied around tlib bottom of the waist and
looped back on tho tournnre to form
the pouf.
One of the prettiest lace pins in dia

The poetical surroundings of " the
village blacksmith " and his harmonious
anvil, says Chamber*' Journal, aro
threatened with a powerfnl rival by the
introdnction from the United State# of
a new indnstry; namely tho manufac
ture of machine-made horse-shoes. A
company whose premises face the
Thames opposite Greenwich, have just
opened their works, to supply the Uni
ted Kingdom with these machine-made
article#. Tho iron is rolled from scrap,
coming from the rollers as a grooved
bar, which is afterward cut into lengths,
punched with the neoessary holes, and
finally is t>ent by a machine into the
horse-shoe shape. It is calculated that
there are in the United Kingdom abont
three million horses; in Enrope general
ly more than thirty million; requiring
annually a million and a half tons of
shoes- 80 that if the new company tnrn
out good work, there aro plenty of cus
tomers for their goods. It is said that
the now shoe has met with the approval
of some eminent anthorities, and is al
ready used by several tramway com

Men Who Paint and Powder.
There aro men in New York wbo paint
and powder. The number in small,
but tliej exist, if the statement* of

The practice began a few years ago, and
has not flourished. The custom of
banging the hair among men, on the
other hand, grew very rapidly. Cajmul,
the tenor, gave it impetus, and now in
almost any assembly frequented by the
well-to-do youth of the city there are
one or more men's heads with banged
hair. A druggist of this city, in apeak
ing on the subject, said:
"Wo sell many bottles of cosmetics,
blooms, lily whites and the like to
men, and the inference is that they bur
for their wive* or sisters, but in some
instances they unquestionably buy for
themselves. It doesn't need a prac
ticed eye to tell this. The effect on the
face is easily discernible."
"Speaking of cosmetics, are sny of
them absolutely harmless f"
" 1 could not recommend a tingle one

should not lie used with sny frequency."
A barl* r, whose place is near Twen

their faces well rubbed with a mixture
of lisy rum, glycerine and several other
fluids, which has s smoothing effect on
the skin. They come ostensibly to be
shaved in the morning and to have their
hair dressed at night, bat they really
want their faces attended to. They
often say, "Pnt a little powder on m?
chin, it looks so black but if you pnt
a little powder all over the face and
then amooth it down and make a feint
of rubbing it off with a towel, they're

Among the Itlflf.pit*.
The following •* from Harry M.
Kieffer's " Recollection* of a Drummer
boy," in March St. Nich'daa :
Fifty yards in front of the sbatin the
pickets were stationed. When first the
siege began, picketing was dangerous
business. Roth armies were lient on
fight, and picketing meant simply sharp
shooting. A* a consequence, at first
the pickets were posted only at night,
so th.it from midnight the poor fellows
lay in their rifle-pits under a broiling
July sun, with no protection from the
intolerable heat excepting the scanty
shade of a little pine brush erected
overhead, or in front of the pit as a
screen There the picket lay, flat on
his face, picking off the enemy's men
whenever ho could catch sight of a
head or even so much as a hand ; and
right glad would he li if, when the
long awaited relief came at length, he
had no wounds to show.
But later on, a the siege progressed,
this murderous state of affairs gradually
disappeared. Neither side found it
pleasant nor profitable, and nothing
was gaiu>-d by it. It dscided nothing,
and only wasted powder and ball. And
so gradually the pickets ju both sides
began to l>c on qiite friendly terms. It
was no unusual thing to see a Johnny
picket—who would lie posted scarcely
a hsadred yards away, so near were the
linee—lay down his gun, wave a piece
of white paper as a signal of truce, walk
out into the neutral ground between the
picket lines and meet one of our own
pickets, who, also dropping his gun,
would go out to inquire what Johnny
might want to-day.
" Well, Yank, I want soae coffee, and
111 trade tobacco for it."
" Has any of yon fellows back there
some coffee to trade for tobacco?
' Johnny Pickot,' here, wauts some cof
fee."
Or, may lie he wanted to trade papers,

about tbe now* of the day how
"we 'uns whipped you 'ons up the val
ley the other day;" or how, " if we bad
Htonewall Jackson yet, we'd be in
Washington before winter;" or may be
be only wished to have s friendly game
of cards!
There was a certain chivalrous eti
quette developed through this social in
tercourse of deadly foemen, and it was
really admirable. Heldom was there
brcsoh of confidence on either side. It
would have gone hard with the comrade
who should have ventured to aboot
down a man in gray who had left his
gun sad come oat of his pit under the
sacnsl protection of a piece of white
paper. If disagreement over ooeurred
in bartering, or high words arose in dis
cussion, shots were never fired until due
notioe had been given. And 1 find
mentioned in one of my old army letters
that a general fire aleng our entira
front grew out of some disagreement
on the pioket-lins about trading ooffae
for tobaeoo. Tbe two pickets couldn't
agree, jumped into their pita, and began
firing, the one oalling out: " Look
out, Yank, here comes jour tobacco."

MIMC DIET IN BBIOHT'H DIMKASB.—
Hince we know not at present any drug
that possesses therapeutic value to any
marked extent in this terrible and fatal
disease, and since it is daily making
sad havoc among human lieings, and
principally among that class who, by
reason of their valuable public labors,
are particularly necessary to the wel
fare of tho world; therefore, it be
comes u medical question of paramount
interest that we should discover some
potent method of combating this very
prevalent disease. Home years since
Oarel first called attention to the
treatment of liright's disease by the
use of a milk diet, and since then Dun
can, as well as many other prominent
physicians, have written on this sub
jeot. Wo have ourselves seen some re
markable results fellow this treatment,
while Dr. H. Weir Mitchell, of our city,
is now quite an enthuaisst on this sub
ject. This method of treating a for
midable disease has received sufficient
distinguished indorsement to recom
mend it seriously to our notice. We
wonld, therefore, ask all physicians whe
read this artiele to try this method of
treatment, and le furnish us with their
experience, which we will publish. The
milk is used thoroughly skimmed and
entirely freed from butter. To
procure the best results it has
been advised that the patient
shall restrict himself absolute
ly to milk, and continue tho treat
ment for a long time. If it disagrees
with the stomach (as it will in some
oases), Dr. Mitchell advises that the pa
tient !>• put to bod, and the treatment
•ommenced with tablespocnful doses,
to which lime water is added, until the
stomach tolerates the milk, when from
eight to ten pints daily should be takei,
and absolutely nothing else. The sanc
tion of snch n distinguished physician
at Dr. Mitchell forces us to seriously
consider the merits of this treatment,
and we trust to receive the cxjerieDCc of
all readers of this journal who may
have cases of liright's disease to treat.

.salt for the Throat,
In those days when diseases of the
throst are so universally prevalent, and
in so many cases fatal, remarks an ex- J
change, wo feel it our duty to say s !
word in behalf of a most effectual, if
not positive, cure for sore throat. For i
many years past, indeed we may say
during the whole of a life of more than |
forty years, we have been subject to a
dry hacking cough, which is not only
distressing to onrselve*, but to our
friends sad those with whom we are
bron-*ht into business contact. Last
fall we were induced to try what virtue
there was in common salt. We com
menced by using it three times a day—
morning, noon and night. We dissolved
s large tablespoonfnl of pure table
salt in about s half a small tumbler full
of water. With this we gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry
hacking cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute theee satisfactory results
solely to tbe use of salt gargle, and
most cordially recommend a trial of it
to those who are subject to diseases of
tbe throat Many persons who have
never tried tbe salt gargle have the im
pression that it is unpleasant, but after
a few days' use no person who loves s
nice clean mouth and a first rate sharp
ener of tbe appetite, will abandon it
A Tale of the Sea.
One of the very funniest stories ever
heard comes from the log of the ship
Gladstone, says the Sydney Mail.
Down in the roaring forties a seaman fell
overboard, and went down into the deep
green gnlf without tbe faintest possi
ble hope of coming on board again. It
is not an easy thing to find a man, even
if be does keep afloat, when deep calls
nnto deep, and the big sea-monctains
skip like yonng lambs in those lati
tudes. But as this man rose afUr the
first beadnr, right alongside ho beheld
an albatross, and aronnd that albatross'
neek ha folded an arm, and doubtless
with the other hand made a sure grip
of the wicked hooked bill, and with
much flapping and floundering, and
doubtless strange conversation between
man and bird, he held on till the boat
was down and .lifted him in. What
tale the albatross told to his fellows
that evening is to us unknown, but if
any records be kept in the albatross
world, little doubt there will bs found
set down a reoord of a new marine
monster more marvelous than the
mightiest sea snake the most ancient
mariner of the human raoe has beheld
even in his dreams.
