MEMORABLE COLORED DAYS. Some Remarkable Days in the History of the World. On January 27, 1306, from sunrisa until mldn'M.f, the churches of Eu rope were < rvded with kneeling suppliant ^, wl i.j solemn chants and the smo e of ae censers arose unin terruptedly. Thousand of terrified people lay prone ; po’. their faces in the streets and s uar s. Women, clutching their infc.'.’s t » their breasts, ran, half na. J, .ricking along the highways, ’red ors forgave debts; usuers ss upon, their ruined clients : ..dr ill-gotten gains; rich men dis- tril ed their wealth in the name of c ty to all who would consent to ~i( pt. .ilminals voluntarily confessed to ’ ir misdeeds and besought the ex- emity of human justice. Kings and princes tiirew off their erime, donned the rags of beggary and vowed new crusades for the recovery of the holy sepulchre from the Turk. Men went mad. Anarchists and hermits issued from their cells, wild eyed, clad In goat skins or sackcloth, and stalking through the streets cried aloud: “Woe! woe! the hour of judgment at hand!” It was the day of the Red Terror described by the ancient chroniclers. The dawn broke clear and mild as in minsuramer, we are told, and “not a cloud of a ban Ibreath’s bigness was to he seen In all the sky.” But just before the sun rose a strange red haze or mist overspread the heavens, deep ening in hue and density, until at o’clock the firmament was a crimson pall, which obscured the sun and cast a dull, ominous glare upon the eirth like the reflection from a tremendous conflagration at a distance. Despite the unnatural illumination, the gloom was so profound, eyon at midday, “that one man k«ew not an- ' other, though he were his own brqth- I er.” Toward three of the afternoon I ( tnere came a great s»Mendor of crim-' , ton. like blood, and some cried that! now, indeed, the heavens were depart-j ing as a scroll when it is rolled to gether. At about midnight the firey pall j disappeared as a ship driven before a strong wind, the stars came forth in their tranquil beauty, and the pan-1 ic-striken world grew calm agajn. In April of the year in which Co lumbus set out upon his memorable voyage to the Indies, incidentally dis-j covering America, occurred the won-i l derful green day. During the forenoon there had been a succession of liaht showers, but at, '2 o’clock the sky cleared, and the sun shone brightly. At an hom* s past noon the sun grew pale and lost its brilliancy, though there was no trace of vapor in the atmosphere. At the same time the azure hue of the sky changed to a livid green, deepening gradually to a rich emer ald tint. The sun became wholly in-1 visible, and there was a sort of pre- j ternatural twilight upon the earth.' The green hue was so intense that I “all objects took the color of oak leaves, and men stared in affright at each others’ faces.” for they. too. were of the nrevailing livid green. The populace poured into the streets to gaze in terror at the emerald sky, and to ask each other what had be come of the sun, and if the end of the wolrd were at hand. Bolls were tolled, services were held in dll the churches. In one French town several persons expired j from fright. At about 8 o’clock in the evening the sky resumed its nor mal aspect. There are several yellow davs on record, the most remarkable being that which occurred in thy reign of Charles IX, of France, and was re- carded by the Huguenots as a mani- tVstitation of the divine wrath against the authors of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. "All the previous night such a tem pest of wind blew as not the oldest man had seen. Steeples fell with a horrible crash. Some strong houses and places fell fiat upon the earth. Whole forests were leveled and thous ands of deer destroyed, so that there was no hunting in all the realm for the space of six years. “Some heard loud and terrible voicer crying in the air, denouncing punishment upon the blood-guilty. Some heard the shattering blasts of vast trumpets, so that the soul faint ed at the sound.” At sunrise the storm died down to a breathless calm. It became so in tensely hot that cattle died in the fields, men fell down in the streets, steam rose from standing pools and hayricks took fire. Yet there was no visible sun. The sky was a brilliant yellow, like that, sometimes seen In the west at early twilight, deepening toward noon to a splendid orange, and later to an ugly muddy brown. So frightful was the omen "that men. not daring to go f^r*h for the dreadful heat, confessed themselves to each other, forgave debts and old feuds. Those that ven tured out of doors drenched their clothing with water, which turned to vapor in a hundred paces. Many died in their houses, whether of heat or fear, and half the world was over come.” The Dark day of the American Rev olution has been frequently describ ed. to many yet living, by ancieut people who were eye-witnesses. This account was given by a Rhode Island lady, a cousin of General Nathaniel Greene: “The sky was clear until noon, when the sun began to fade, as if its light were withdrawn, until it needed very keen eyes to mark Its position In the heavens. At first there was a sort of greenish twilight, then every thing became as dark as midnight. The stars came out. The fowls went to roost. "People looked at their clocks, sure that they must somehow have mis taken the time. The churches and meeting houses were open. The bells tolled mournfully. “Some men stood upon the cofqers I preaching that this was the last da’’ , fortold by the evangelists. Some 1 people wrapped themselves in white sheets and sat at open windowg or on roofs, singing hymns. But Just before sunset the sky cleared. “1 remember that my mother and father embraced each other, then kissed me, and seemed overjoyed, and the street was full of people run ning to and fro and shouting that the world was safe.” IHOUSm OF FAIR WOMEN HERALD PRAISES OF PE RU NA.

With the opening of the fall school term the problem of the children’s outfitting becomes once more of vi tal interest to every mother. How | to remodel the leftover wardrobe so j that it Yvill look presentable and i fresh, and what to buy in now ma- i terials and garments that will he practical and in good taste. All this must he accomplished without over stepping the limits set for judicuujs expenditure. Remodeling. The various styles of suspenedr frocks lend themse’ves especially well to remodeling. Last year’s waist though badly worn will easily supply with mohair quite, as useful as ever and in weaves so different from the old time ones that it is not recognizable except to the initiated. Children’s’ apparel of all sorts get the hardest kind of wear and should he chosen with this fact in mind. Materials' should be of good quality and colors selected should he such as will stand washing or exposure to the sun or rain. Among the most satisfactory fabrics for children’s use are the Cra- vanettes. Thanks are due the McCall Co., for illustrations of children’s styles. Footwear. One of the most important points both for the sake of appearance and of comfort is the dressing of the feet. Shoes must he not only smart looking hut should he built on orthopoedic ven*. The skirts of in r.-p length are still plaited, and coats a’-e of an em barrassing diversity of styles and lengths from the quite long redingote to the short Eton. The latter pre sents itself more insistently than ever, the claim to favor justified by its natty and varied expression in the new models. Lucy Carter. the material for the suspenders, espe cially as any piecing necessary can he hidden by braid or velvet ribbon trimmings and by fancy buttons th|t are lavishly employed on some of the newest models shown at the up-to- date places in New York. For length ening the skirt various expedients are employed, hards of contrasting material overlaid with braid may he used or if some of the original pat tern is In hand, tucks may be modlsh- ly used as a trimming and the piec ing done underneath them. Contrasting Materials and Colors. Where the suspender frock Is of plain material the waist Is often of plaid and always in contrasting ef fect. Plaids are also modlshly em ployed for the dresses and then plain colored materials are used for the waist. Several different waists are worn with the same skirt, washable cottons, and silk or heavier wools for colder weather. Fashionable Fabrics. Serges, Henriettas and cashmeres lead In fashionable fabrics tor the children as they do for the grown ups lines to aid in the correct develop ment of the growing feet, and stock ings should he well shaped and sub stantial so that they are not continu- ually wrikllng; and on the subject of the Buster Brown stocking Tnow so generally known) children and moth ers are in perfect harmony—the for mer delighted to wear any’hing that reminds them of their friend Buster, the latter equally delighted to find so durable an article, one which sav*; them to a great extent from the labor of constant darning. There seems to he a veritable craze for everything that pertains to the mischievous Buster. The proper, washing of chil dren’s stockings Is of great importance if they are to keep their shape and color perfectly. The average laun dress does not rinse the stockings sufficiently and they iron them. Stockings should never he Ironed but stretched and dried carefully. Ladies’ Autumn Walking Suits.

Mr. Matheson comes to Gaffney as a stranger, but In a private letter to a friend in this city Mr. H.

Is it Right? Is it right that a property-owner should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make 50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready- for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L. & M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons of the best paint In the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property-owner loses just $4.20. Is It right? It only requires 4 gallons of L. ft M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten Thausand Churches painted with Longman & Martinez L. & M. Paint.
