Pathetic
A correspondent of tho Pitts-

woman who went to the

the play. She carried lightly
sewed to the center of a second
handkerchief a tiny powder puff,
which proceeded to dust with
powder from a little
into it fitted. With
puff concealed in tho
chief she calmly watched the
scene progress to the agony point,
ignoring tho tears that, sure
enough began presently to stream
down her cheeks. When the cur-
fell, however, she took in-
advantage of the
reaction of the audience, and
wiping her face with her
chief, with the second she cleverly
dusted her too red nose and
cheeks with the pow-

A Useful Novelty.
A novelty seen at recent sale of
fancy work was a broom cover to
be used in dusting down walls and
ceilings. It was made of linen,
the shape of the broom itself, and
was really an inverted bag when
adjusted. After it was drawn
hack over the broom shirr strings
held it close where the
joined the sprints. As it was made
entirely of washables, braid and
linen, it was very suitable for
and an improvement in
me and usefulness over the
which most housekeepers wind
about a broom for the same office.

The great hoot Demon, de-
scribed by Colonel in his
narrative of adventures in India,
was a tiger whose ways were as
mysterious as his ravages were
terrible. He could never be bagged.
He killed every native or
European who tried it This
had never been seen,
and as he never mangled a body,
but only sucked the blood through
an orifice made over the jugular
vein, the terror the great
Demon inspired is not surprising.
He never forced a door, yet he got

of young humanity now send to
now mothers little blank books
provided with questions as to
when tho baby first exhibited the
sense of hearing, when he first
took note of light, what were his
earliest signs of distress, and
many more such. The questions
are designed to furnish hints
for an investigation extending
over the first four years of a
child's life. In time all the books
will collected and sent to Ger-
many as aids to tho persons who

suits of an elaborate study of men-
development during infancy

HOUSE AND HOME.
The Splendor of an Oriental
Marriage.
Corsets the Latest Atrocity for
the Size of
Women's Foot A Woman
Bright Idea.
When Mahmud Pasha Bias,
Governor of the Suez Canal, mar-
the daughter of tho late
Pasha the other day,
his father, Pasha, celebrated
the occasion with a magnificence
truly oriental. According to the
published reports, no such splendid
marriage entertainment has been
given En Cairo for many years.
Two thousand invitations were
issued, tho name of every person
being in the handwriting of
himself. The
of guests present at the four
banquets which were given was
about and included besides
tho Ministers and chief official per-
past and present,
of lower rank, the members
of the diplomatic body, and a large
gathering friends, acquaint-
neighbors, servants and
poor. The dining-room consisted
of an enormous tent, v
yards long by wide. This
was lighted by 1,500 Venetian
terns, 1.600 clusters of candles,
magnificent gas and
lanterns, lamps and electric lights.
Tho dinners consisted of two
ices, one European, the other
Arabic. After marriage the
European guests were entertained

Corsets for the Foot.
The latest atrocity in the inter-
of beauty is a corset for the
foot, and it is no longer logic to
deride the Chinese for tight ban-
iron bands and other de-
vices designed to keep the feet ab-
normally small. The new
of torture is made so as to
enable a size smaller shoe to
worn than would be otherwise
and it consists of a strong,
though thin band or web, which is
fixed around the instep while the
foot is off the ground, and
not spread out with tho of
the body. When in place it is
comparatively easy to put on a
shoo which is altogether too small,
and the pressure being on the
set instead of the shoo, the latter
does not spread or stretch out. As
an aid to beauty the device is
doubtless a success, and an
of torture it is absolutely be-
criticism, even the slight
lief from the stretching of the
leather of tho shoo being denied
the unfortunate woman.

Size of Women's Feet.
It may not please the
woman to be told that tho average
of women's shoes is a No.
and that of her stockings 1-2.
American women as a rule have
feet small enough to be beautiful,
and there seems but little reason
in so many of them suffering from
corns, bunions and the other evils
which result from crowding their
feet into shoes a size too small.
Some one has said, apropos of
shoes, that tight fit is not a
good Nor should the shoe be
too large. One of the most
of our philosophers gave voice to
the remark, do not think that

The Queer
In Japan everybody carries a
lantern. By and night it is
dangling at his belt. It resembles
a thin, flat box. Each end of the
box is fastened to a sort of paper,
which, lying in folds, forms, when
drawn out, a lantern. The Japan-
usually carries also a tiny
wooden box, shaped like a cylinder,
to hold his candle. A small
cine chest, with half a dozen little
boxes, each containing a small

HALF CENTURY AGO.
Solicitor Woodard brought with
him to Greenville last week a lit-
curiosity in the shape of an
old paper that he was showing his
friends and permitted to exam-
it. The paper was a copy of
the Register and North
Carolina Gazette dated June 10th,
1845- Weston R- Gates was editor
and the piper had then been es-
forty-sis years. This
copy contained an account of the
annual commencement of the
of North Carolina. The
graduating class consisted of
E. Barnett, Joseph J- B-
Charles Bruce, Peter
G- Burton, Ralph P. Buxton. Sam-
S. Calvert, Samuel S.
Thomas F. Davis, Edward
E. L. Dusenbury. Alexander
B. Hawkins, James J- Herring,
Eugene J- Hinton, Owen D.

Alexander D- Moore, Lucien H.
Sanders, Reuben C. Shorter,
F. Slake, Jesse P. Smith, Dewitt
C Stone, George V. Strong,
J. Sumner, Leonidas Taylor, Sam-
D. Thomas E.
Upon each one of these the A- B-
degree was confessed.
The A. M. degree was conferred
on Willis W. Alston, of South
Carolina, David A. Barnes, Robert
R, Bridgers. Francis T. Bryan, cf
West Point Military Academy,
H- Lewis, J.
William S- Mullins, Thomas
Ruffin, of Missouri, Albert
Shipp, Joseph T- Cal-
H. Wiley, Charles P Heart well,
of Virginia, Jeremiah W.
and J. Randolph Clay, Secretary
of Legation at St Petersburg.
The degree of LL. D. was con-
on Willie P- Mangum of the
S- Senate, a graduate of the
class of 1815; on John T. Mason,
Attorney General of the United
States, a graduate of the class of
1816; and on James K. Polk,
President of the United States and
a graduate of the class of 1818.
The paper had many other very
interesting things in it mat-
current the State
and nation- It also had a sketch
of the military services performed
by Guilford Dudley, then of the
town of Halifax, during the
War, with several letters
to him written in 1781. This
sketch was copied from the
Literary Messenger.
The entire two outside pages of
the Register was filled with
the patronage of that
department extending over several
States. The price of the paper
was a year, half payable in ad-
Hon. Bayard of Dela-
ware has been appointed
to Great Britain by Mr.
Cleveland. He is the first man
that ever held tank or title
from the United States to a foreign
country. He was appointed under
a law passed by the last Congress.
No appointment, with perhaps the
exception of Mr. has
given such universal satisfaction.
There is not a purer politician in
America than F. Bayard and
Mr. Cleveland has done himself
honor in appointing him to the
position, possibly the
best within his gift. Having been
Secretary of State under Mr.
Cleveland's former administration

CARD OF THANKS.
Editor Reflector
low space in paper for this.
I've been conducting a revival in
the A. M E. Zion Church for
weeks, and closed on Wednesday
night April 5th. We believe that
there was much good accomplish-
ed. There were sixty-two
and fifty accessions, and we
g i have baptized twenty -nine to this
writing. Now to continue our
l series of meetings so long created
some extra expenses and I want to
thank the members of other
e churches and citizens of the town
for their liberal contributions.
There were several of the white
citizens of the town, both gentle-
men and ladies that came
to our church during the
meeting, and allow me to say
of course is much to the
credit of your grand town and its
I have never met a better
behaved gathering of white people
in my life than those that attended
our meeting proved to be. And
I want to thank them through the
columns of your paper, the paper
that reflects the rays of sound
truth and intelligence in Eastern
North Carolina, fr their liberal
contributions when called
for they gave willingly. Yes,
thank you, my white friends, and
may the blessings of heaven smile
on you. I've long claimed that
there is a feeling of friendship
that existed between the Southern
whites and colored that no one
could account for but themselves,
and on every that
truth writes upon the wall of
and misguiding theories
and writes upon
the wall of strife and social equal-
for I. want this world to
know that the better class of color-
ed people don't want any social
equality. Social equality is con-
to God's word. Search the
Scriptures and you will see it.
You will find cracked-brain color-
ed people now and then, as you
will cracked-brain whites, that
want anything they do not need,
but these are not the better class
of either race.

The County Records.
Last week Register of Deeds Harding
called the attention of the County
Commissioners to the fact that so many
record books accumulated his office as
to over crowd the provision made for
keeping them properly arranged, and
about thirty volumes have to lay piled
about on the tables. He suggested to
the Board that they have the partition
removed between his office and the room
in the rear of it and make additional
arrangements for the proper keeping and
handling of the books. It is a good
and we hope the Board will early
take some action in the matter. The
records of the county should at all times
have special attention, and too much
care to their preservation can hardly be
given. If a suitable fireproof vault could
be built in which to store them it would
be all the better for the county.

A man should always get the
best in the newspaper line, but
where a man can not really afford
to take more than one paper, we
say in all candor that one should
be his home paper, whether it be
or weekly.
e mean what we say. A man's
first duty is to build up and
the enterprises which
to the growth of tho
of which he is a part and of
all the enterprises the local news-
paper is the best; no town can en
joy prosperity without a
paper loyally sustained
by appreciative citizens.
There is not a weekly
per in the smaller towns of this
State which has the patronage it
deserves. With few exceptions
the testimony of the editors is that
they are working their
labor is treat and its rewards
small- weekly news-
paper does more for a town than
any other agency.
If the citizens are wise they will
stand by their editor and second
all his efforts to enlarge the in-
of his newspaper; and just
here let us say another word to
subscribers who assert that they
can take one newspaper only.
Newspapers are now published
at rates which are within the reach
of all, we do not believe there
is a man in any kind of business
who is not fully able to pay for
two or more newspapers. The
press is a great educator, and on
line alone his money would
be well invested. The more pi-
with which he surrounds him-
self, the greater will be the
fits derived. But the on,
for reasons given, repeats that if
there be a ma who is too poor to
patronize any other than his home
paper, that is the paper for his
money, and fortune increase
his store.
The Palace of an Empress.
The costly palace which the Em-
press of Austria has had con-
at Corfu to gratify her
whim for a new home is one of
the most luxurious as well as one
of the most curious buildings in
Europe. It is a reproduction on
an enlarged scale and with modern
appliances of one of the patrician
dwellings of Pompeii. The
on the walls, illuminated by
incandescent electric learns half-
hidden in the foliage of the friezes,
represent scenes from the
logical legends relating to Achilles,
on the walls are inscribed pro-
verbs and apothegms, some of
them borrowed from Lord
ton's works. The furniture is
strictly in design.
Woman's Matrimonial Chances
A woman's chances to marry at
from fifteen to twenty
age is said to be 1-2 per
From twenty to twenty-five the
chance is increased to per cent;
from twenty-five to thirty it
to from thirty to
thirty-five, to 1-2 per cont
From thirty-five to forty the
chances of an unmarried woman
sink to 3-5 per cent.; from forty
to forty-five a still further
is seen, her chance being
but 1-2. From forty-five to
fifty the old maid's chance of it-
ting a husband is but 3-8 of per
cent., while from fifty to
she is supposed to have but 1-4 of
per cent, of a chance. It should,
however, be added that the table
of averages does to
widows. Accurate statisticians,
who would not be caught in a mis-
take for the world, affirm that a
widow of age has at least
seventy-six spinster drawing pow-
and some place her figure up
to eighty-two. The widow s
chances at any age are, therefore,
seventy-six to eighty-two times
better than that of a spinster.
Cheap Gowns.
Very elegant and by no means
means costly tea gowns can be
made of the light summer ma-
and silks purchased at the
sales, for fabrics too bright and
too much out of date for general
wear make up effectively in these
accommodating little dresses in
which the union of two or three
fabrics lends charm to their never-
failing attractiveness, and even
the brocades and textiles designed
for house decoration may be em-
ployed with perfect confidence in
a pleasing result to the wearer an d
observer alike.
A pretty woman is never so
pretty as when robed in the dainty
grace of the tea gown, and a plain
one is so attractive that even the
most cynical critic forgives her for
not being beautiful.

Divorces In Scotland,
There has been a large increase
in the number of divorces granted
in Scotland in late years. Be-
tween and 1874 the average
number was thirty-five a year,
which increased to fifty-nine be-
tween 1874 and 1880. Last year
divorce decrees were granted
there, as against in 1891 and
eighty-nine in 1890. Of last
year's decrees sixty-eight were ob-

by wives. Infidelity was the
