PITTYPAT AND TIPPYTOE.
All day long they come and go
Pittypat and Tippytce;
Footprints up and down the hall,
Playthings scattered on the door,
Fingermarks along the wall,
Tell-tale streaks upon the door
By these presenta you shall know
Pittypat and Tippy tc?.
How. they rio;: at their play !
And, ? dozen times a day,
In they troop, demanding; bread
Only buttered bread will clo,
And that butter rn ti st be spread
Inches chick with sugar, too!
Never yet Lave I said : **No,
Pittypat and Tippytce !"
Sometimes there are griefs to soot he
Sometimes ruffled brows to smooth :
For-I much regret to say
Tippy toe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
NV i th an internecine spat;
Fie ! O, 3e ! t>3 quarrel so,
Pittypat ind Tippy toe !
?, the thousand worrying things
Every day re?urrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair to brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss;
Many a murmuring to hush,
Many a li ttle bump to kiss ;
Life's indeed a fleeting show,
Pittypat and Tippy toe!
And, when day is at an end,
There are little duds to mend:
Little frocks are strangelytorn,
Little shoes great holes reveal ;
Little hose but one day worn,
Itudely y aWn.at Coe or heel !
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippy toe!
But when comes this thought to me:
"Some there are that childless be,"
Stealing to their little beds,
With a love J cannot speak,
Tenderly I stroke their heads,
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek.
God help those who do not know
A Pittypat orTippycoe!
On the floor, along the hall,
Rudely traced upon the wall,
There are proofs in every ki nd
Of the hs voe they have wrought,
And upon my heart you'd ii;id
Just such trade marks, if you sought.
O, bow glad ? am 'tis so,
Pittypat and Tippy toe!
T binning Fruit.
It may be that in m any localities no
thinning of fruit will be necessary
this year, but in ochers, no doubt,
more fruit has set than the trees or
vines ought to cany, lt is hardly
possible to thin apples where one
has a large orchard, though in
some cases it ia done; but one
may thin the fruit on pear, peach
and cherry trees, and grape vines.
It is said by many that it will
?_,jwtpay to do this; but it will^
and especially by those who have
but a few trees, and wish to raise
good fruit. There will, of course,
be fewer specimens after a part
are picked off, but there will be us
much in weight and measure as
though none had been taken olf,
and those that remain will be
larger, fairer, better flavored, and
if sold will bring more money than
the whole would if they had
been left to grow. There are other
advan tages, for good fruit will find
a market when poor, small fruit
cannot be sold. If the whole is
left, the tree or vine may be
seriously injured, if not ruined,
in its attempts to carr}' too large
a crop.
We have known novices in fruit
growing to leave three or four
times as many bunches of grapes
on a Jvine as it ought to carry,
because, as they said, "it seemed
too bad to destroy them," with the
result of not getting a single ripe
grape, and also of nearlv or quite
ruining their vines. Perhaps no
fruit-bearing plant suffers more
from an over crop than the grape.
The thinning of all fruit should
be done in good season-as early
as possible after the fruit has
reached some size, so as to be able
to tell which it is better to leave
and which to take off. Such a
course will eave the tree or vine
somewhat, and the fruit that is
left will be all the better. No
exact rule can be laid down for
the doing of his work ; it must be
a matter of judgment. If the tree
or vine is young, perhaps bearing
?for the first time, though it may
<iot set very much fruit, yet it may
set a good deal more than it ought
to be allowed to ripen. Better
have one good pear or bunch ol
grapes than three or four none ol
which are eatable. Too much
work ! Yes, it is a good deal of
work ; but what of that if it only
pays? If any one has any doubts
ou this latter point, let him try il
for himself and note results. Wc
knew a careful cultivator of thc
pear who not only thinned h if
fruit, but thinned his trees and
kept the new wood pinched back
as it came oat, as carefully as h(
did his gape vines, so righi
brances with spurs all up and
down upon which he allowed onl)
a proper number of the fairest
specimens to grow.
He alway obtained a very hi?:!
price for his fruit, an 1 alwayf
* found a ready market. While al
may not be able to do as this mai
did, it shows what may be dow
with^are. Try thinning, and se<

MSSISSM'S COLLEGE.
AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
FOR GIRLS.
A CHARMING LETTER DESCRIPTIVE
OFTH1S CHARMING INSTITUTION.
0
Governor Tillman Has Given
South Carolina One Like
it at Anderson.
In an extremely picturesque old
town in Eastern Mississippi, is a
new and progressive college, the
first of its kind in the United
States.
The Industrial Institute and
College on Washington Avenue
in the town of Columbus! Well
does this school deserve iti
connection with two such
illustrious names, for as Columbus
discovered a new geographical
world, Washington a new political
so I believe the Industrial
Institute and College iis destined
to open to woman a new educational
world. The interest, love, and
pride of the Mississippians center
in this great enterprise,, and few
strangers ever visit Columbus
without making a tour of inspection
through the college.
Let us follow such a party of
visitors, thus gaining a glimpse
of this great school, lt ia a bright
December morning, and as we
approcli the building the first
object to become visible ii the
college clock in dormitory tower
which is now striking half past
eight. A squaro or two further
brings to our view an imposing
scene. Facing the broad avenue
are two stately brick structures,
with a smooth green lawn in front,
a lovely flower garden to the back
and stretching toward the east-a
sylvan park of many acres.
The lawn and flower garden are
tastefully ornamented and kept
in perfect order by the patient
efforts and untiring energy of the
matron, Mrs. Edwards.
Approaching the Maim Building
by a wide gravel walk, and
entering the President's office near
the door, we are delivered into the
charge, perhaps, of a member of
the senior class, Miss Rhoda Carr,
a dignified, intelligent student
who makes our visit to the College
interesting and instructive.
Soon after our entrance at 8:30,
we hear a whistle blown. At once
tho first chords of a march are
struck. Now long lines of
students, all dressed m navy blue,
file out of the lecture rooms in
perfect silence; nothing is heard
save the regular tramp of more
than three hundred pairs of feet
keeping time to the music. The
presence of so many earnest girls
cannot fail to arouse our interest
at once ; we follow the advancing
files to the Chapel which occupies
the second and third stories of
the main building, and seats about
fifteen hundred. The stained
glass windows cast a dreamy light,
making the artistic interior of the
Chapel a delightful scene, but the
most beautiful sight of all is the
assemblage of three huadred
earnest, intelligent faces into which
we look from our visitors' seat
on the rostrum. We perceive
even at the first glance that we are
not in an ordinary "girls' school"
the oldest students of most such
schoole are rarely more than six
teen or seventeen, while here few
are under sixteen, and the mem
bers of the senior class, almost
without exception, nineteen,
twenty, or older.
This fact is significant. At
schools where the majority grad
uate at sixteen or seventeen, we
know a thorough collegiate course
is impossible. While we are will
ing lo claim much for women we
do not consider them such prodi
gies that they can acquire by six
teen \>hat their brothers cannot
without earnest endeavor gain till
they are twenty or more.
But to return to our visiv. If we
are distinguished, one of our party
will now be invited to address the
students. If the speaker be e. true
champion of womankind, and
speak true, manly words-or wo
manly words, as the case may be
-he will be repaid with responsive
glances expressing enthusiasm,
sympathy, and gratitude. If the
words are dull and narrow, the
speaker will still be greeted with
profound silence for these girls
are taught to be good listener?
even to dull speakers. I have often
smiled over a speaker's satisfac
tion at eliciting such attention,
when poor man, this was the re
iii M -
snit of causes he did not corapr
hend.
After Chapel exercises, we a
conducted through1 the corr id?
leading to the dormitory, the oth<
large brick building previous!
mentioned. We glance into 01
of tho rooms and find it neat, con
fortably, though simply furnishe?
and heated by steam, es are all tl
'College buildings. We are no
shown the immense dining- roon
china closets, pantry and kitchei
Every thing is spotlessly ' clea]
and tho extensive cooking pf epa?
tions are carried on'w j th un won te
system due to the excellent mai
agement of Mrs. Edwards. '
On the second.and third fiooi
there ia little interest us, but 6!
reaching the fourth Misa- Cai
proudly shows us the bright prettil
furnished Young Woman's Chris
tian Association Hall and th
Society Hall. Wo are now told c
the wonderful good done by th
Y. W. C. A., how gi ri s are her
changed from thoughtless stu
dents, to earnest Christian workers
how, in this college, tho Christiai
life is developed hand in ham
with the intellectual. But Mis
Carr is too modest' to tell us tba
she is the faithful President o
the Association.
We pass on to the-Society Hall
What a source of pride is this i
the students ! Its pretty red cai
pets, blight window hangings, ric]
society banners, its portraits am
comfortable chairs do indeed mak
it a cheery, attractive place. Thi
ia the joint, property of the Peytoi
and Callaway-Orr Literary So
cieties' The former ia named fo
Mrs. Peyton, whom all love am
reverence for her great am
unselfish efforts to secure the col
lege for the girls. We soon lean
that M isa Carr is a member of tb
Callaway-Orr Society by he
glowing accounts of its debate
and other exercises, and of it
President, her gifted classman
Miss Bessie West Noir, turning
to us'& -jopjwtena?jce aglow wit!
enthusiasm, pride, and love,' Misi
Carf tells us how the Callawa?
Orrs love their society and mos!
of all their name, because it is be
?towed in honor of those wonderfu
women-Miss Canaway, Mistreat
of Mathematics, and Miss Orr
Mistress of English-who hav<
done such noble work in the col
lege. In her enthusiasm sh<
hurries us at once back to the mail
building to their recitation rooms
Ii Miss Callaway's room we find
the class in Calculus. The quick
ness and accuracy with which th(
students find differential co
efficients, or demonstrate Taylor')
theorem, convinces us at once ?;
their exceptionally fine training
equal to that .of [our .beat Univer
sity s and Colleges. . We are for
tunato enough to meet Miss
Cal! away and learn for oirseli
how great is the soul as well as thc
mind of this noble woman.
We now enter Miss Orr's roon
whre we find the sophomore ciasf
reciting Anglo-Saxon. We are
gratified to find here a genuine
English course which trains the
student to use accurate and ex
pressive language, acquaints hei
with the great masters of English
Literature, and gives a historical
knowledge of the structure and
gro'vth of language. ' We happen
to be preaent on a lecture day and
indeed have a feast. As we listen
to the beautiful language of the
lecture expressing such depth and
originality of thought, such knowl
edge and at ch noble sentiments,
we do not wonder at the students'
enthusiastic admiration of Miss
Orr. We now enter the Chemical
lecture room and Laboratory,
which are well equipped and afford
opportunities of gaining a practi
cal knowledge of this Science not
to be had at any other Southern
College for girls. Under the effi
cient guidance of Miss H. M. In
niche, this department also is re
markably thorough and accurate.
From there we are led to the Latin
department in charge of Miss Min
nie Pasley, a graduate of the Insti
tution and an honor to ber alma
mater. She is sucha fine Latinist
tim t under her instruction pupils
see a new beauty and menning in
this important study.
The next room is that of men
tal and moral Philosophy. Here
i we were introduced to Mrs. Peyton,
the lady so loved and honored by
i Mississippi girl?; we are so
i charmed with her gentle bearing
i and appearance that we could not
doubt Miss Carr's judgment, even
, if we were so inclined, when she
- tells what a power for good are the
precept? of Moral Philosoyhy as
taught by this Christian woman
whose life enforces her words.
But by this time it is growing
late,and we hurry on to the steam
laundry where all the college wash'
iug is done with slight expense;
indeed board and washing com
bined rarely amount to $9.00 a
month. We now hasten to the
White House where all the Indus
trial duties are taught except Book
Keeping which is taught in the
main building. On reaching the
White House there comes- to our
ears a confused sound made up of
the clicking of telegraph instru
ments, typewriters and sewing ma
chines, of vocal and instrumental
music ; of hammering, pounding,
etc. AH thopb noises are soon ex?
plained by inspection of their re
spective source*. On the first floor
you visit the Phonography and
Telegraphy room, and typewriter^
room containing nine calligraphy
the printing department and nu
merous piano rooms. Ascending
to the second floor we inspect with
great interest the departments
where are taught dress making,
cutting and fitting, embroidery,,
hammering in brass, modelling in
clay, free hand drawing, designing
crayon draying, and painting in
oil and in water colors. All this
time we are interested by accounts
of how efficient is each industrial
teacher, how each bas sent out rep
resentatives who are a credit t" the
college. You will wish to pause a
long time in the art department
where there are many busy girlie,
much beautiful work, and an ac
complished teacher, Miss S. C.
McLaurin who has been invalua
ble to the college ever since its or
ganization in her own department
and in many other ways.
By the time our visit closes we !
will conclude that there was never
before such a devoted, competent
faculty, such earnest, enthusiastic
18, I? is indeed .an interesting
and hopeful sight to see so- many
girls busily engaged in preparing
hand,- head, and heart4 fot ac?ft%
useful, unselfish careers, for honest
ennobling work in some industria
or literary pursuit. We realir
with joy that the dark night <
grinding poverty, fahie pride, ar
perverted views of life has passed
away, and that woman's busy
happy, working day is here when
she is prepared and allowed to use
her energies to make her own
surroundings comfortable and
good, and to benefit the ?world.
As we-pass away from the college
we are ah own the fountain, arbor,
and memorial, erected to the mem
ory of the respective graduating
classes of the Industrial Institute
and College, for there haye been
only three since its opening in '85 ;
counting the names on the marble''
slabs you find that the graduates
number twenty-five in all. Miss
Carr tells you how most of them
are teaching in Colleges and
High. Schools, how one | of the
brightest is still pursuing ? her
course of study and will be indeed
a cultured specialist in Latin at
the close of this session, and how

best is married and living far

Rulen for the Care of the Teeth.
A faithful observance of the fol
lowing hints on the care 'of the
teeth is earnestly advised :
Cleanliness is of absolute im
portance in the care of the teeth,
and its neglect cannot be remedied
by dental skill.
Thoroughly cleanse the teeth
each night before retiring and on
rising in the morning. Never neg
lect the first if you do the last.
The article? necessary to accom
plish this are the toothbrush, pick^
and silk or linen floss, together
with a good dentifrice.
The brush, to do its work well,
should be given an upward motion
on tbe lower and downward mo
tion on the upper teeth, as well as
backward and forward, and no
portion of any tooth should escape
its action.
A well trimmed quill pick should
be used, especially after eating.
Children's teeth should be
cleansed daily by some competent
"person from the time they begin to
eat solid food.
For tartar, irregularity, decay,
discoloration and other special
conditions consult a competent
dentist.
Compliance with these sugges
tions nut only improve the appear
ance of the teeth, but it will
diminish the necessity for dental
operations.

derer-A Horrible and
Sickening Scene.
BIKO SING, March 28.-At 10:45
''cluck this morning Jeremiah
Jotto, the murderer of Louis
'rankeloso, husband of his para
or, was executed in the electric
air. Thia waa the eighth ox ecu
ion by electricity.
The condemned man tojk hie
>laco in the chair without any
igns of failing. Father Mito knelt
n front of the death chair and
ontmued prr.ying aloud. Cotto
:ept his eyos fixed on the man and
ontinuod to repeat the response
chile he was being tied in the
tyair. Warden Browne suddenly
Sopped a handkerchief, and the
T.ecutit?ner turned a switch, ap
)iyiug a current of over 1,700
rolts. Cotto'fi body stiffened and
ho straps made deep impressions
u the skin. The current was
urned Off and on four times.
At the first shock the current was
urned off in thirty-two seconds.
}otto slowly opened his eyes and
?oked at Father Mito, with what
teemed a reproachful expression.^
die hand? moved, and there was
lb doubt in the minds of the wit
nesses that he was not only alive,
jut conscious.
The signal was again given by
Warden Browne, aud once more
;he body stiffened up and strained
it the ?trapst The current was
tept on about twelve seconds.
When it was turned off a. second
:imo, C'otto's body settled down
n the chair, limp, and at first ap
?jftrently lifeless. The doctors step
ped forward to listen to the heart
Mpfeel the pulse, but before they
"?Aed- fehft ? .body- the fingers
-??nil
timer Dr. Irving applied the steth
?scope to the heart, and Dr. Abbott,
who had been keeping the official
time, felt the pulse. They shook
their heads and stepped back. The
fingers began to move again, and
there was plenty of evidence that
Cotto was still alive.
For the fourth time the warden
gave the signal, and for the fourth
time the current was turned off
until the face of the man has
turned a purplish black, and the
exposed part of the right log was
of the same color. This time the
current completed its work, far
when it was turned off thc
physicians found no signs of life.
Dr. Irving in answer to a question
of the representative of the United
Press, admitted there were
indications of life after the third
shock. The official time shows
that the current was first turned
on at 10:45.20 and that the last
shock was given at 10:48.03, or, in
other words, it required about
three minutes to kill the
man.
When life had been declared
extinct, two of the keepers
unstrapped the body. It was placed
on an autopsy table, which had
been brought in from the adjoin
ing room. The autopsy waa
performed by Drs. Irving and
Abbott. Very few witnesses
remained for the autopsy ; most of
them took early trains ? for their
homes.
Cotto's body was not claimed by
hiB relatives. It will be buried
in quicklime this afternoon.
Cotto's brother and cousin were
here Saturday, but they said they
did not ?ant tho body. Their
only anxiety was about $54 which

says the voltage at the first contact
was 1,780. After that it varied

young widoiv of Augusta, were
happily united in the holy bonds
of wedlock, the Rev. Lansing
Burrows officiating. Refresh
ments having been served they
left immediately for his home
near Morgana, where they were
given a nice reception at his
mother's.
The next night a party of boya
gave them a grand serenade with
tin pans, plow hoes, bugles and
bells. Now, Mr. Editor, don't
you know they made a racket?
Miss Mary, the lovely and
accomplished daughter of Mr. G.
De Armond, was married to Mr.
Frank Ronce at ll a. m., 27th

How to Cure a Headache.
In case of the ordinary nervous
headache, from which women suffer
so much, says an authority, remove
the dress waist, knot the hair
high upon tho head, out of the
way, and while leaning over the
basin, place a sponge soaked in
hot water, as hot as can be borne,
on the back of the neck. Repeat
this many times, also applying the
sponge behind the ears, and, if
the assertion of the writer is not a
mistaken one, in many cases the
strained muscles and nenes that
have eaused so much misery will
be felt to TiAax and smooth
themselves out deliciously, and
very frequently the pain promptly
vanishes in consequence. Every
women knows the aching face and
neck generally brought home from
a hard day's shopping, or from a
long round of calls and afternoon
teas. She regards with intense
dissatisfaction the heavy lines
drawn around her eyes and mouth
by the long strain on the facial
muscles, and when she must carry
that worn countenance to some
dinner party or evening's
amusement, it robs her of all the
pleasure to be had in it. Cosmetics
aro not the cure, nor bromides, or
thc- many nerve sedatives to be
had at the drug shop, Here,
again, the sponge and hot water
are advised by the writer quoted,

The "Smudge" System.
^hich saved the wheat from
damage by August frosts in the
Red river valley last year. His
account of it will show what may
be done in Georgia.
"They have frosts in Minnesota
at the time when wheat is in the
dough," said he "and the damage
to the crop is often very great. I
got the idea of protecting grain
in conversation with an old
Swedish farmer, who told me thal
crops had been saved in his country
in this way. The frost warnings
were sent out from Washington
and I got the railroad companief
to have the telegram sent to all thc
stations in the Red river valley,
which is twenty to twenty-five
miles wide and extends two-thirdf
the length of Minnesota, through
part of North Dakota and up inte
Manitoba. The country is as leve]
as a floor and very suitable to the
use of smudges.
"A smudge is a smothered fire
At the bottom, in the centre, some
dry, combustible material if
placed and set on fire. This if
covered with two or three wagon
loads of dampened straw, or some
material that will make the fire
bum slowly and emit a great
volume of smoke.
"Four smudges on a quartei
section of 100 acres wer? sufficient
to keep the country covered with
smoke and ward oft' the frost
The smoke acts like a cloud ir
reflecting back to the earth the
heat lots by radiation. So thc
temperature is kept up and frosl
prevented.
"This plan might be pursued
in the case of fruit, where thc
area to be protected is raucl
smaller. Pino straw is one of thc
best things you could use ii
making smudges, and the cost
would be trifling. With the frosi
warnings Mr. Morrill will sene
out, there will be little trouble
in protecting fruit, unless then
should be some such freeze as w<
had last week."

I am truly glad to see the dear
old ADVERTISER in shape again,
and on the right track in the po
litical campaign, which bids to be
very exciting, and perhaps very
alarming to the "outs," but the
only hope I see for them is to grin
and endure it, as they will have to
do. There are a great many Caro
linians in Augusta, as you know,
but I am near the railroad cross
ing, and see representative men
everyday from all parts of Caro
lina, and you can put it down
that the "outs" ain't in it.
Although I heard an anti-Tillman
ite say the other day that electing
Tillman Governor made the price
of cotton go down, I am of
opinion that there is not many
of his kind that believe ah he does.
If Georgia-Carolina votes could be
considered as a fair index of the
votes in Carolina, you can put
Tillman way up in "G" and "Shep"
and his crowd way down in "Z."
