THE DIARY ACT.
The Ruse She Adopted to Mislead Her
Mamma.
! EVENTS AS RECORDED BY HER.
Sunday. That tiresome Dick
Rasbleigh was here last night. I
thought he never would go. I
was awfully bored.
Tuesday. Dick Rasbleigh was
here again last night. I wonder
why be persists in persecuting mo
with bis attentions. He's dread
fully stupid and as poor as a
church mouse, mamma says.
Thursday. Dick Rashleigb
called and though I didn't want
to see him the least bit, I went
down. He attempted to make
love to me, and I sat on him good
and bard. As if I would look at
him! Why, mamma says I'm
sure to make .a brilliant match,
and if Dick thinks pshaw, how
stupid he is!
Sunday. Dick tried to kiss me
last night, and I threatened to tell
mamma if he ever attempted to do
such a thing agaiu. I never was
so indignant in my life. I could
have boxed his ears. I never saw
the like of his impudence. I just
hate him, and I wisn I would
never see him again.
Tuesday. Dick proposed to me
last night and I rejected him with
scorn. I told him that dear mam
ma would never, never consent to
our marriage, and that anyway I
detested him and would not marry
him if he were thelast man on earth.
He said I was cruel and was break
ing his heart, and I said I didn't
care; that it was a silly presump
tion on his part to think for one
minute that I could care for him
when mamma objected to him.
I told him to never dare to speak
to me of love again.
II. WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING.
"It's all right. Mamma's op
stairs reading my diary as usual,
and now we can " enjoy ourselves.
You dear, old boy! I'd be content
to sit here on your lap forever
with your arm around me and my
head ou your shoulder. Oh, Dick,
how I love you! And isn't that
diary scheme great?" N. Y.

Statesville Landmark.
The Landmark printed in a re
cent issue, an extract from the
Charlotte Observer referring to
the tender by Gen. Wheeler com
mander of Wheeler's cavalry dur
ing the late war, now a represen
tative in Congress from Alabama
of his services to the President
in the event of war with Spain.
The Observer said that the opera
tions of Wheeler's cavalry in
Western North Carolina were more
disastrous to the Confederacy, in
proportion to numbers, than were
the enemy Stoneman's army.
An ex-Confederate writes the Ob
server denying that Wheeler's
cavalry were ever in North Caro
lina and backs up bis assertion
with a similar statement from
Gen, Wheeler. If this be true
there are numerous persons in
these parts who have been labor
ing under a false impression for
years. It has always been under
stood that Wheeler's cavalry were
in Western North Carolina during
or about the close of the war, and
this writer has beard their depre
dations condemned ever since he
can recollect, A citizen of Iredell,
for instance, tells to this day how
they encamped on his father's
premises and destroyed everything
in sight, those about the place re
ceiving worse treatment from
them than they did from Stone
man's men. Somebody is badly in
error.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been made,
and that too, by a lady in the coontrv.
"Disease fastened its clutches npon her
and for seven, years she withstood its
severest tests, bnt her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed immi
nent. For three months she coughed in
cessantly, and coald not sleep. She
finally discovered a way to recovery, by
Snrchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's
ew Discovery for Consumption, and
was so much relieved on taking first dose.
that she slept all night; and with two
Dottles, has been absolutely cured." He
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes

FOR THE WOMEN.
Fashion Notes.
Spring jackets vary in length !
irom the very short, to what is
known as the three-quarter length.
They are elaborately braded, aud
the more expensive ones are lined
with silk or satin. They have
flaring collars, or those that turn
over, and have fastenings across
the front, made of heavy braid.
One very pretty style shows a
pattern made of silk braid about
half an inch wide. This is shaped
into circles, squares, points and
corves, and is pressed flat, giving
a very pretty effect.
An afternoon dressy costume of
asomewhat eccentric, yet popular,
style, is made of spotted gauze.
The skirt is very full, and has a
ruffla at the foot made of the ma
terial, hemmed at the upper and
lower edges. There is a voke of
elaborate embroidery, fiom the
front of which a wide band of the
garniture extends to the ruffles at
the hem of the skirt. This band
, . . .
is about four inches wide where it
leaves the yoke, and increases in
width until it covers the space
about twenty inches wide at the
bottom. The sleeves are made ud
of puffs of the spotted fabric. A
velvet collar and belt complete this
costume.
One of the plainest of costumes
is made of camels hair. It has
five tucks about a foot from the
hem of the skirt, and five more
fourteen inches above the first
group. The waist has tucks run
ning from the shoulders to the
middle of the waist. Rt the
The sleeves have tucks at the
shoulders, the tucks standing out
so as to give the fullness, that ap

sable.
Yellow and orange are to be
among the leading colors of the
season. Yellow and black, and
orange and black are among the
most charming combinations, and
becoming to almost every one. If
they are not exactly suited, the
addition of white lace or chiffon
seems to harmonize and soften the
effect, and renders them becoming,
when otherwise they would scarcely
be approved.
A simple dress is of plain, black
organdie. The skirt is made with
four ruffles of equal width, the up
per one being gathered into the
belt. The flounces are edged with
lace set on perfectly flat. The
waist has a yoke of lace over
satin, and from this the material
is gathered full to the belt; the
sleeves are a series of puffs from
shoulders to wrists.
Among the novelties in dress
goods are those with bayadere, or
lengthwise stripes of heavier
threads, with the spaces between
made of much lighter material.
This gives the semi-transparent,
gauzy effect, tbat is most sought
after this year.
A novelty Sicilliene shows cords
and cross-cords outlining squares
of thin material. In some of the
patterns the thin portion is slightly
full, giving the appearance of
shirt threads, which have drawn
the fabric up very slightly.
We can congratulate ourselvas
on the fact that the enormously
wide skirts are a thing of the
past, four yards and a half being
considered the allowable size at
the hem.
Nuns' veilings are shown in the
exquisitely fine qualities, and
there are canvas goods, with gaoze
stripes and blocks, that 'are ex
ceedingly handsome.
A wise man's mistakes are
capital of his experience.

Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be supplied
with every means possible for its relief.
It is with pleasure we publish the fol
lowing: "This is to certify that I was a
terrible sufferer from Yellow Jaundice
for over six months, and was treated by
some of the best physicians in our ctty
and all to no avail. Dr. Bell, our drug

after taking two bottles, I was entirely
cured. I now take great pleasure in re
commending them to any person suffer

These are everything considerd,
the cheapest foods tbat the farm
can produce, the advantage of the
corn being tbat it will grow a
greater bulk than can be grown of
anything else. The clover has an
equal advantage in the fact that
wherever it is grown the soil is in
creasing in fertility. It is econ
omy to feed clover and corn stalks
together as each will supplement
the deficiencies of the other, and
more of both will be eateu and
digested.
Coarse food is cbSap and helps
wonderfully, but it must not be
