THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING Cool
The Importance of keeping cool was Stri-
kingly exemplified in the Tennessee legisla-
ture on Saturday last. During the ballOting
for United States Senator one OF the dele
gates named SmallwOOd, a supporter of Gen.
Bate, became so excited that he was pros
trated with palpitatiOn of the heart before
his name was called to vote, and had TO be
carried to the ante-roOm. Had Smallwood's
vote been cast, Bate would have been elected
as he only fell one vote short of the required
num her on this ballot

Writing in the Lap.

Men are accustomed to laugh at women
fr writing I'm their laps, imagining the
habit TO be an inevitable attendant Of the
feminine organization. The reason why
women write in their Jap Is generally that
they have no other place to write. and ne
cessity chooses what Is nearest at hand.
Writing In that way is sot only inconve-
nient and awkard; 1t is very unhealthful,
particularly when done repeatedly for any
time. 1t has a tendency TO make one
ronnd-shouldered; il congresses the lungs
and other parts of the system which
should have full play. Any woman who
uses pen frequently, even though IL be
In private correspondence alone, should
have desk, or at least a table, TO rest her
arm on, and to prevent the greater stoop
required by writing In the lap. Better still
would be high desk, at which she could
stand. Erect she could accomplish her
Sork without fatigue, and In more sat
isfactory manner than while in cramped
position. She can far better afford TO
stand than to bend over. and by a llttlee x-
perience she would soon discover the diff
ference between the two In the improve
ment Of both her physical and mental con-
dition.-Scribner's
