The Artistic temperament ot Wo man. The artistic faculty is one of th< inherited traits of woman. It ii bet rayed in her earliest efforts at adornment of her person and sur roundi ic?. It is the tempera ment of woman, as well as hei natural birthright, to guard ttu iteautiful in life, and to make hei whole existence a visible mani festation ot it. Civilization ha* given to her opportunities in this direction denied her in the past. She has been emancipated from the slavery of conditions which narrowed and destroyed those possibilities of jiersonal expres sion born within her. Yet even in barbaric times she was not blind to the influence of personal adornment. The evolution of her dress may have been from the rude blanket und wild boar's skin to the modern silks and furs of unrivaled beauty and pictur esqueness; but there was always, even in the beginning, a method of wearing the garments that be trayed the dormant gifts. She could be artistic even with the simplest and rudest of garments. The art of dress becomes a fac tor of importance, not only in the life of the woman who devotes her time to it, but in all those who associate with her. The ex pression of her artistic tempera ment may be manifested in no other way than that of dress, and yet she may produce an effect of immeasurable importance on the world. It is hardly consistent to belittle the effect of woman's dress even when carried to an ex treme, and thoughts of it absorb all ot her considerations of life. The 7?aiuter is justified, accord ing to human standards, in de voting all of his t ime and strength to the production of beauty on his canvas; and the poet is con sidered legitimately employed if he merely strives to express in the highest artistic form those thoughts and emotions of love which come to him in the highest degree. The decorator, the musi cian and the singer are all ap pealing to the sense of sight or hearing through beautiful forms of sound. The woman who understands the art of personal adornment finds gratification of artistic ex. pression in her dress. She studies it from many pointsof view; con siders the harmony of colors and style; views herself apart from her personality and environ ments; and finds in the whole work a service of love which is' little lower than that which the poet or painter feels for his pro ductions. Dress performs the double task for woman of adorn nig her and of conserving her health; it should be antagonistic to neither. It should be theouter expression of her mind and tem perament, and at the same time consistent with thelawsof health and strength.?Ledger Monthly. toniedcrate Soldier Returns His Pension. Rarely indeed are tliere found soldiers who, after being placed ou the pension list, decline to accept the {lension when tendeivd to them bv the authorities. But Itr. B. F. Dixon, State Auditor,; has found one such man. A check or warrant for $.'12 was forwarded sometime ago to \V. 11. Steele, of Randolph county, in payment for pension due him, ana on yes terday Dr. Dixon received a letter from him declining to accept the wairant on the State Treasurer for the amount. In declining to accept the pension Mr. Steele wrote that he did ho because he felt that there were many other old Confederate soldiers who needed the money much worse than he does, for the reason that he has prosperity which yields' enough for him to live on all < right. Mr. Steele was a member of Company F. Twenty-sixth regi- 1 mcnt, aud was permanently dis- 1 abled by wounds. Dr. Dixon wrote Mr. Steele 1 that he hud the distinction of I -being the only man who ever ' declined a iiension for the reason he gave.?Raleigh I'ost. Their Secret is Obi.

The transportation is borne by the Government and takes to the Philippines what may prove a strong factor in tin1 civilization of the country. Educational matters in the islands are in charge of Prof. At kinson. who has made some ap pointments at Manila, but the large majority of the teachers are sent out from thiscountry. Their salaries will range from #75 to #125 a month, and the cost of transportation will average #.'100 each. They are expected to sign contracts to remain in the service 1 three years.

"I gave it to you in a moment of girlish folly, and I have since had occasion to regret that I waH so t hought less in such matters." Of course, she pictured that photogragh framed and hung up in his room, and was inclined to think that lie would part witli it with deep regret. Just why site wanted it returned is immaterial. Of course, he had offended her in some way, hut it is unneces sary to inquire how. The reply to her note came the following day. "1 regret," it read, "that I am unable at this late day to pick out your photograph. However, I send you my entire collection, numbering a little over GOO, and I would request that you return all except your own by express messenger at my expense."?! lit bits. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, o! Ben nettsville, S. ('., was once im mensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no st rength or vigor and suffered great dis tress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her tit once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's a grand tonic, tiud its gentle laxative qualities tire splendid for torpid liver." For Indigestion, Loss of Apne tite, Stomach and Liver trouoles it's a positive guaranteed cure. Only at>c at Hood Bros. Had Done Good Service. A clergyman, taking occasional duty for a frieud in one of the moorland churches of a remote part of England, was greatly scandalized 011 observing the old verger, who had been collecting the offertory, quietly abstract a half-crown before presenting the plate at the altar rails. After service he called the old man into the vestry, and told him, with emotion, that his crime had been discovered. The verger looked puzzled. Then a sudden light dawned on lim.

The crops through out this entire community are the poorest they have been for many years. Miss Sallie Hamilton, of Rands Mills, visited relatives in this sec tion hist week. On last Saturday evening while Mr. .1. L. Johnson was taking a photoof Mr. Willie 11. Stephenson on his norse going at full speed the horse flew the track. Mr. Stephenson thought that the horse was going to hit an oak and jumped off, being thrown against the tree, though not seri ously hurt. Last Sunday Mrs. Richard Johnson, of Pleasant Grove town ship, died with consumption. She was about 40 years age. She was a good and upright woman and was much loved by her friends and neighbors. She was obliging and kind to all, and in lierdeat li her community sustains a great loss. She left a husband four daughters and four sons to mourn their loss. Mr. E. R. Canaday, the travel lingsalesman for II. H. Patterson, tobacconist, Thaxton, Va., is at home for a few days' vacation. He reports that crops in some sections are looking very well. Air. It. T.
