A shapely and well cared for hand Is a great ornament to a woman, but even If your hand Is not "beautiful in the first place, you can. by careful at tention, make it look almost pretty. Always be careful to wipe your hands absolutely dry after each time you wash them, and always rinse all thu soap off of them In some clear wa ter. Never go out of doors with your hands at all damp. If you have to wash dishes you should have some rubber gloves and use them to protect your hands while doing eo. Almond whitener is a splendid hand wash, and you can rub it on your hands, after every time you wash them if you wish. Always devote a few moments ev ery day to your nails, rubbing the cut id 'back on them, etc. Then, once a week you should manicure them well; It is a very simple thing to do yourself. Lewis in The Plankinton. "This state ment sounds fantastic, but of the fashionable, fur haV it is certainly true. "Muskrats, whhch for " years have cost the State no end of-trouble and thousands of dollars through their depredations in the levees, are now mdst eagerly sought by the millinery trade throughout the country, and hunters in Louisiana are hunting them in lieu of other game. "For years the muskrats have bur rowed In the levees, and in nearly every case where there has been a crevasse along the river front the cause was traced to a muskrat hole. The State has tried several means to get rid of the pests, but without suc cess. "During the last winter the millin ery stores in New Orleans bought sev eral hundred muskrat fura from hunt ers In the different parishes and plac ed them. on turbans, which'now so resemble a cat curled up on milady's coiffure. Ever since then rata have been popular upon as well as in the pompadour or 'psyche. "Several " of the more progressive hunters quickly realized that muskrats were marketable and gave up the pursuit of ducks and other game. One hunter alone In February 'killed 6. (00 rats, for which he received 20 cents apiece. "Other hunters have followed the lead of this mighty nimrod, and it begins to look as if the State will soon rid itself of the Industrious rodents whose burrowings have for many years endangered the cities and towns along Louisiana's river fronts." 3IEASURING CURTAINS. In measuring curtains great care will be necessary if you are to do It acccrately. Measure your windows first and then cut your material accordingly. Another thing to bear in mind Is that every window has two sides, so do not make the mistake of making your curtains for only one side of rhe window. In hanging the curtains do not make the pole too prominent. It Is a more or less necessary acccs- A BCZZLESS PHONOGRAPH. German Inventor Replaces the Stylus AIth Compressed Air. Van Norden's Magazine. A recent German invention, it is ex pected, will obviate the buzzing or rumbling sound of phonographs, caus ed by the friction of the needle resting upon the surface, of the rapidly revolv ing disk or cylinfler. The new devic combines the 1m fl ing elements of tne phonograph and the siren. The novel and essential feature is the substitution of a current of compressed air for the needle or stylus of Edison's Invention. On the surface of a large record cylinder tangential incisions are made. A second and perfectly smooth cylin der rests close against this perforated cylinder, revolving In unison with It. A constantly varying succession of mi nute openings between their surfaces is presented, due to the incisions on the record cylinder. When a powerful blast of com pressed air is directed upon the line of contact between the two cylinders, at such an angle as to be an exact tangent to the surfaces of both, sounds are evked identically as In the case of an ordinary siren. The cylinders thus far emploj-ed are about ten times as large as ordinary phonographic cIinders. and this renders the instru ment somewhat clumsy. which "so many , hallowed cluster." Old Waxhaw Presbyterian church in the upper edge of Lancaster coun ty. .S. C, lind about 12 miles south west from here, passed her centennial many years ago,: and is now, as will be shown from dates below, one hun dred and fifty-eight, years old. If its entire history could be reviewed it would be full of interest, not' only to its members; not only to Presbyteri ans, but to & large number of other people in this and Lancaster coun ties. . . -' Old Waxhaw Presbyterian church was during its early history the lead ing church in all this section, of coun try and was the only church for many miles around, but JnMate years the membership and attendance have de creased owing to the fact that other churches were organized and ,built nearby. In the one hundred and fifty-eight years of its existence three church buildings have served its generations. The first church built was burned by the British soldiers, the second was destroyed by fire before completed and the one built In its place stood until It rotted almost down. The third and last church was built about twen ty years ago. ,Ueside the church there Is a ceme ttr supposed to be about twenty-eight years older than the church, and is perhaps the largest cemetery in this part of the country. The cemetery cortains' the mortal remains of An drew Jackson, Sr., father of Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the Uijited States, which were buried there in 1767. Tradition says that .lis body was taken to the cemetery on a sled." After his father's death, but in the same year President Andrew Jackson was born. The following bit of history was given to us by Mr. C. C. Mcllwain, of Marvin: A man named Miller once owned the land where old Waxhaw Presby terian church and cemetery how stands. He, with others, built the first church, and was ordained a minister and preached there. He sold his land, but gave six acres for a church and cemetery. The deed is recorded at Wadesboro, N. C. There, was once an academy at Waxhaw Presbyterian church. -Messrs. Humphries and Ste venson taught In this -academy and young Jackson was a pupil. "Waxhaw church was used for a hospital after the battle at that place between Major Coffin, of the British army and the Americans. Robert and Andrew Jackson were In that battle. Andrew was fourteen years old. Rob ert received a wound that proved fa tal. Andrew received a sabre wound from a British officer whom he never forgave and the blood of General Packingham and 1,200 British soldiers at New Orleans did not quench Jack son's thirst for revenge." From Howe's history. we learn that i the first grave made in the cemetery at waxnaw jpresDytenan cnurcn was in 1728. There are several graves of British soldiers in this cemetery. The remains of William Richard Davie, the tenth Governor of North Carolina under the constitution of 1776 ar-e also burled here. He was elected Goerncr in 1798 and was afterwards an ambassador to France. He died in 1820. General Monteagdo,' accompanied by a strong- escort, - thereupon, started for the insurgent camp. The general ex pected ta j-ecelve their surrender be fore morning. .; ,: ' - ' -The insurgents are now compieteij surrounded by a cordon of more than one thousand iurales, drawn irom ie garrisons In various parts of the Island, including Havana,but owing to the rugged character of the coun try, it will be extremely difficult for the troops to come to close quarters with the insurgents. . . It Is declared on apparently respon- slhle authority that Cortez is accom panied by. fully 100 nen mountea ana well armed. v More gratifyingyto the government than the prospective capture or tne insurant md was the arrest and subsequent killing of ' former Captain Lavastida, of the rural guard, who is believed ,to have been the principal in stigator of the uprising. Lavastida was arrested last night by MajorArte gea, of the rural guard, and was charged with conspiracy against the government. While on the way to Remedios un der escort it is alleged that Lavastida attempted to escape, whereupon Col onel Esguerara, In command of the escort, shot and killed him. Hereto fore this has been a common method in Cuba in dealing with inconvenient prisoners.

OLD CONFEDERATE CHAPLAIN DEAD Well-Known Baptist -Minister and "Historian of the Confederacy" Passes Away at Columbus Ga. -Was a Close Friend of General'Lee and Stonewall Jackson. - Columbus, Ga., March 17. Dr. John William Jones, who by his his torical works and close association with Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Stonewall Jackson, gained the title "Historian of the Confederacy," died this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of his son. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, in Columbus. The body will be car- rie dto Richmond, Va., his home, and the funeral will take place Saturday afternoon from Calvary Baptist church in that city. The immediate cause of his death was uremic coma. Dr. Jones was born at Louisa Court House, Virginia, September 25th, 1836. Educated at the University of Virginia and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, he was or dained to the Baptist ministry in 1860. He enlisted in the Confederate army as a private, was aiterwara chaplain of A. P. Hill's regiment and later served under Stonewall Jack son, remaining in the army until the surrender. He was chaplain or Washington and Lee University when General Lee was its president. After the latter's death he prepared his book, "Reminiscences of Robert E. Lee," at the family's request. - . Dr. Jones is survived by his wife and five sons, as follows: Carter Helm Jones, Oklahoma City; E. Pendleton Jones, Hampton, Va.; Frank William Jones. New York; M. Ashby Jones, Columbus, and Howard of wnlTi Lee Jones. Charleston, all From an address delivered to the are Baptist ministers except Frank Syrod of South Carolina by Dr. w. Jones, who is editor for the Ameri Thornwell about eleven years ago at I can Law Book Company. Lancaster, we quote the following: "About eight miles from here is the historic Waxhaw Presbyterian church, the mother of us all, whose history can be traced 'back to time whereof tho memory of man runneth not to the contrary, and whose origin is lost in antiquity. The first sermon of which we have a record was preached there in February, 1753, and in 1733 it was already an organized congrega-' tion in their own house of worship. While of course not the first organized church In the State, yet it is the cra die of Presbyterianism in the pied. mont belt and indirectly from Georgia to Texas. Embracing about six miles of territory in the first sixty years of its history, it had given a President to the United States, a foreign am bafador, a Governor to South Caro Una and a. Congressman. "It was here in her school house that-the classics were first taught hi South Carolina; it was here in one of her campmeetings that the singing of hymns was introduced into public worship. "It was in this historical church on April 12, 1785, that the Presbytery of South Carolina was formed. In 1812 the Synod of South Carolina and Ge orgia was set off from the Synod of the Carolinas, and in 1845 the Synod of South Carolina started' upon its ca reer. And 113 years after the birthi of organized Presbyterianism, you have come within" the bounds of the mother church. In her old age, now about 147 years old, she Is very feeble but she greets you and Invoke God's richest blessings upon you." . Mr. W. P. Neely gives us, .from a history in his possesion, the "date of the. organization -of. Old Waxhaw Pi ef.byterlan church to .'be In 1751, thus making the church 158 years bid. It now has a membership of about thirty ,and Rev. W. W. Ratchford. ia pa;tor." - ' YOUXG MAN 3IISSING. James McDowell Left City Presum . ably in Buggy. Has Not Been Seen Had Considerable Money.
