Only Woman Barber.
The only town or city in North
Carolina that can boast of a woman
barber is Liberty.
In that town, it is said, tho young
men have a wonderful propensity to
get shaved ; beardless youths are
seen sitting with the perfumed toam
glistening tho boyiah counte
nance; boys with aspiring miistacho
insist on being shaved, and old men
with retiring hair cannot bo pcr
siiaded that they need no hair cut.
The reason of all this is plain.
The only barber in Liberty is a wo
man. Who would not turn Catholic
priest at once and get himself shaved
from tip to too if tho operation was
to bo performed by a woman's soft
hands ? Who would complain be
cause tho barber was too communi
cative or g nun bio because sho took
too long I

makes an ample living by following

neither old nor ugly and if she ever
gets out of a job, let her come and

Self Distrust and Failures.
I'robably self distrust is ono of
the readiest causes of failure. A man
who, however much he conceals tho
fact from observation, feels in his
heart of hearts that he is not capable
of doing tho work that ho has un
dertaken is almost sure to tail.
Ordinary ditlidenco as to one's
powers is quite another matter, and
by no means a necessary impediment
to success. Such nervousness is
ofien purely sniterlioial, and merely
means that the anxiety to succeed is
so great that it causes a reaction.
I he dAngetons self distrust to which
we are alluding is a much more
negative quality, and generally has
joined to it a strong strain of indif
ference. Hut when a man docs not
think that he will succeed and also
is doubtful whether it is worth
w hile to succeed, or rather whether
it is not a matter ot indifference
whether ho wins or loses, ffilure is
alm.ist certain.
This stultifying indifference to
failure is much more widely spread
than people generally imagine, lie-
cause failure seems to the average
man so horrible, producing aa it
must humiliations and miseries,
remorseful feelings and regrets of
every kind, the average man can not
imagine any human being indiffer
ent to it. i et as. a matter of fact,
there are men whose hearts become
sa indurated that they do not mind
either failure or its c nbipicnces.
1 liey would do anything rather
than rouse themselves to the painlul
effort ol resisting the march of what
they call fate. 1 hey will float with
the stream of tide, but, come what
insy, they will not row a stroke
against either. Ixmdon Spectator.

With thankfulness their restoration

A Mother Gives Her Babe Away.
"I have given tho baby away,"
moaned Eva Duke yesterday morn
ing as she held her face in her hands
and rocked herself to and fro. "1
told them I couldn't keep the poor
littlo thing. It was so sick that no
body would have it and I gave it to
the first woman who said alio would
take it."
in yesterday'a Constitution there
was a story about the Duke woman
having a little four-months-old boy,
which had been sent away from tho
Sheltering Arms because the child
had the whooping cough. EfTorta
were made to place tho child in the
Home lor the rriondloss, but it
would not bo taken there for tho
same reason tho Sheltering Arms
refused to keep it longer. 1 hen
the Grady hospital was tried, but
there was no placo for it there.
The distracted mother went away
from the police barracks with the
sick babe in her arms.
Rut kind ladiea were at work, and
yesterday morning Mrs. Frank
Adamson and Miss Sue Ilolloway,
the police matron, found a lady in
West End, who said alio would
adopt the child if it was brought to
her by 3 o'clock, as alio intended
leaving for Rirminghaiu at that
hour. The ladies were delighted
that a borne for the poor little sick
babo had been provided Mrs.
Adamson hastened to the homo of
tho Duke woman. Sho found her
in squalid proverty at No. 475
Marietta street.
"Eva," exclaimed Mrs. Adamson,
"where is the baby "'
" 1 ho baby ? '
"Yes, the baby your baby."
"Why, 1 have given it awav."
"Dotiowhati"
"Given it away."
Then tho Ror mother explained
how she had gone about ollcring
the child to anylwdy who would
take it, as if it was an old piece of
cast-off furniture. There wero not
many bidders for the child, for it is
thin and its pale face turns purple
when thrown into a paroxysm of
Coughing.
''I have lost my piisition, said
Fva, "at the factory, because I havo
had to look after the child. I haven't
sent in the world and I didn't
want to sec it starve. I told all the
people I conldn't keep tho babv,
and so I havo just given it away.'
An investigation showed that the
child was not in the best of hands,
and the ladies began making t tl'orts
to get possession of it so it could be
f riven to the West End lady. That,
lowever, was not a very easy mat
ter, for the mother did not know the
correct address of the woman who
had the infant.
Late in the afternoon the lost
baby was found and sent to the home
of its adoption. Atlanta Constitu
tion. To Prevent Chicken Cholera.
Tho manager of the poul ty
division of the Experiment Station
gives, in this month's Agricultural
Bulletin, the following reeeipo for
pre venting chicken cholera, a disease
that plays havoc with the average
farm flock at this time of the year:
"ifie first step to lie taken is to
clean out the hen houses thoroughly,
whitewash every nook and corner,
sprinkle lime all over tho floor, put
kerosene oil on the roost-pole, l.urn
all nest material, swab out the in
side of the nest boxes with kerosene
oil, then whitewash them and put in
new material of hay, pine straw, or
toliacco stems (the latter is best.)
When this is done go over all the
fowls at night with insect powder,
and very soon the health of the flock
will be improved. A remedy that
the Station has used successfully tor
the extermination of lice is com
posed of one half gallon of tar, one
fourth gallon kerosene oil, and one
fourth gallon waste engine oil, mix
ed thoroughly and applied to roosts
and also to the fowls. I our into a
cup a small qnantity of the mixture,
dip a cotton rag into it, and by
raising back the feathers rub tho
dampened rag near the skin, so no
stain appears on the surface. Spots
touched the size of a silver dollar
will do the work Do not use too
much. Try it on one or two fowls
and dace them in a coop fur several
hours ; then examine and see if any
live lice are there. If so, use the
least bit more on the next tref ted.
Young chicks not feathered should
only be touched in two places, viz :
on top of head and over vent.
"I'y ridding the fowls of lice, and
supplying them with fresh drinking
water often, an invasion of cholera
need not be feared."

in search of the missing steamer
Aden, from Yokohama on April
2Hth, via (Jolomlx) and Aden for
London, which was last heard of
when leaving Colomla) on Juno 1st
for fliis port, has returned here and
reports that tho Aden was totally
lost oil the island of Socttra, sf the
eastern extremity of Africa, on tho
morning of Juno Dili.
The Aden carried thirt v-four pas
sengers from China and Japan.
Ihecaptainof tho wrecked steam
cr, some of her olllccrs and ctew
and seven white passengers were
swept ovetboard and drowned very
soon after sho ran ashore. Eight
lady passengers, nino children, two
of licet s and a few of the Aden's
crew succeeded in getting away
from the wreck in a boat, but they
have not lieen heard of since.
Tho Mayo saved nine of tho
Aden's passengers and three of the
white and thirty-three of the natives
of the steamer's crew. All of these
persons were rescued just as the
Aden was breaking up. In all, the
drowned and missing include twen
ty five passengers, twenty European
ollicers and thirty-threo natives of
the Aden's crew.
London, June 30, A dispatch to
The Daily Mail from Aden, Arabia,
says :
"Two days after leaving Colombo
the Aden was struck by a severe
monsoon, with squalls, violent and
incessant. Day bv day the weather
grew thicker ami the passengers
became more and more alarmed.
t 3 o'clock on the morning of June
Oth the vessel struck tho Rasradresa
reef, on the eastern coast ot the
island of Socotra. Tho engine room
was instantly flooded and utter
darkness ensued. Wild with panic
the passengers rushed from their
cabins and fled terror-stricken to
the upper deck in the scantiest
clothing. The women and children
screamed in fright and confusion,
but the men retained their self pos
sesbion and courageously assisted
the officers and crew to do their
best to save the vessel and to in
spire calmness. Rat it was soon
seen that the steamer could not sur
vive the shock and that the only
chance for safety lay in the boats.
Life belts were distributed, distress
signals given and the boats on the
lee side prepared for launching.
Those on the weather side had al
ready been washed away. Io the
meantime, seeing that some hours
w ere likely to elapse before it would
bo possible to launch the boats, the
passengers gladly accepted the as
sistance of the crew to obtain more
clothing.
"The storm continued to increase
in violence. Great seas washed the
vessel with terrific force. Daylight
brought no relief and only served
to reveal still further the awtul sit
uation. Misfortune followed mis
fortune. A lifeboat was lowered,
only to be swept away immediately
with three Lascars and the first of
ficer, Mr. Garden. The gig was dit
patched to the rescue with Mr. Mil
ler, tho second oflieer, but, to the
despair of all, both botts were lipid
ly swept away.
"The only remaining lifeboat was
then lowered amid a eccne of in
tense emotion. A cry of anguish
broke from the lips even of the men
when this halt capsized, throwing
the sailors and the stores into the
sea. After great efforts the boat
was righted and the women and
children were lowered into it, with
the exception of the MesJatnes
Gillett, i'earce and Btrain, who
heroically decided to share the fate
of their husbands, and Misses Lloyd
and Weller, who remained on lioard.
The boat, manned by a European
crew, left in a tremendous sea and
drifted rapidly out ot sight.
'Vast waves still swept the wreck,
dashing the people aUut and lev
ing them almost prostrate on the
deck. ( ne by one, men women
and children, grown too weak to
withstand tho reflated buffeting,
were washed overboard in sight of
those wfio wi re momentarily ex
pecting the same fate. Among the
tii.t thu engn-fod were Mr. and
Mrs. Strain a.id their two children ;
Misses Lloyd and Weller, the mis
sionaries ; Mrs. Pearce's baby w'lb
its Chinese curse and then Captain
11 ili, whose leg was broken, but who
had borne himself calmly and brave
ly. He was washed overboard with
several of the native crew.
"All day the victims were picked
i-lT one by one, until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, when those who still sur
vived, retreated below. Many were
baJ!y hurt and passed the night in
suspense and bodily pain, huddled
in the small cabin which they tx
jteeted would be their tomb. None
of the survivors whom I have seen
cres to talk of this terrible night.
"The storm abated siiguilj uu lb
morning of the loth, and those who
were able to move t'Cn to search
for food, hunger until then having
failed to assert Itself over more acute
privations. This proved a task of
the greatest danger, as big seas were
still sweeping tho vessel. 1 lie lourtii
engineer, whilo trying to procure
water near tho poop, was struck
senseless and almost washed over
board before be could bo dragged to
a place of safety.
"The search for food resulted in
their getting very little of it, and
this was shared out equally and in
very small portions. All the timo
desperate men kept a sharp lookout.
Rut no vessel was sighted ontil the
13th, and even then the distress
signal was not seen. On the 17th
and again on tho 2oth other Teasels
were sighted ; but the signals either
wero not seen or were ignored.
lliese unhappy episodes caused
painful and half crazed scenes of
rage among those who bad been pre
viously seif-controllod. Each day it
was necessary to curtail the allow
ance of rations. Mrs. Uillett did
the catering and contributed greatly
to cheering up tho ship'i company.
"Tho weather usually moderated
iu tho morning but always increased
in violence during tho afternoon.
Frequently a sea thirty feet high
would sweep tho dock from stem
to stern and carry away jnirtions of
the vessel. On June 25th, when
things were at their worst and the
food supply was almost exhausted.
Messrs. White, Kelt, Kave ami
Yalpy bravely vcntiirod across the
deck to tho store room and get a
fresh supply. That evening two
steamers were sighted. ( die anchor
ed under the lee of the island. As
soon as she was sighted a I-aer
mounted the rigging and signalled
her. In reply candles burned at her
portholes and at day break on the
20th a suepense of seventeen days
was relieved by the spectacle of the
steamer rounding tho point and
heading toward the wreck. She
dropped anchor about a mile away.
"A heavy sea was still running,
but the wind had moderated slightly.
With heartfelt joy, mingled with
tears of tho men and hysterical
sobbing of the women, they 6aw the
life boat lowered. It took her three
quarters of an hour to reach the
wreck. Every ono rushed to the
broken side of the ship. It was jhe
life boat of the Indian government
steamer Mayo and in charge of
Lieutenants Dobin and Goldsmith.
They skilfully avoided the tremend
ous wash and rescued all of the
survivors in two trips."

Practice Economy
In buying medicine as in other mat
ters. It is economy to get Hood's
Sarsaparilla because there is more
medicinal value in Hood's Sarsapa
rilla than in any other. Every bot
tle of Hood's Sarsaparilla contains
100 doses and will average, taken
according to directions, to last a
month, while others last but a fort
night. Hood's Pills are tho only pills to
take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Easy
aud yet efficient.
