sunny Rooms Make Sunny
Times.

Light is one Of the most active
agencies in enlivening and beautify-
ing a home. We all know the value
of sunlight as a health-giying agent
TO the physical; and it is not less 50
to our moral and spiritual nature
We are more active under its inau-
ence-can think better and act more
vigorously.
Let US take the airiest, choicest
and sunniest room in the house for
ourliving room-the workshop where
brain and body are built up and re-
Inewed. And let us there have a
bay-window, no matter how plain in
structure, through WHICH the good
twin-angels of nature-spnlight and
pure air-can freely enter:
This window shall prove,the poem
Of the house. II shall give freedom
and scope for eye and mind. We
shall hang no picture on our walls
that can compare with living and
everlasting pictures which God shall
paint for us through our ample win
dow.
Rosy dawn, golden-hearted sun
sets, the tender green and changing
tints,of spring, the glow Of summer,
the pomp'of autumn, the white Of
winter, storm and SHINE, glimmer
and gloom-all these we can have
and enjoy while we sitin our shell
tered room, as the changing year
rolls onward. !.
Dark rooms bring depression Of
spirits, impartiug d sense of confine,
ment,of isolation, Of powerlessness,
which is chilling to energy and vigor;
but in light is good cheer.
Even in a gloomy house, where
walls and furniture. are ,dingy and
brown, you have but to take down
the heavy curtains, open wide the
window, hang brackets on either
side, set flowerpots, and iyies in the
pots. and let the warm sun stream
freely in, 70 bring health toour bod
les and joys to our souls.

How 10 Cook a Husband.


!. The first thing to be done is to
catch him.. Manygood husbands are
spoiled in cooking. Some women
keep them constantly in hot water,
while others freeze,t them with conju-
gal GOODNESS, some smother them
with hatred and contention, and still
Others keep them in pickle all their
lives. These women always serve
them hp with tongue sauce. Now,
it is not supposed that husbands will
be tender and good if tfeatsd in this
way, hut they are, on the contrary,
very delicious when managed as fol
lows:
Get a.large jar, called the jar of
carefulness (Which all good house
wives have on hand), placeyour hus-
band in it and set him near the fire
of conjugal love; let the fire be pref
ty hot-especially let it. be clear;
above all, let the heat be constant,
cover him over with affection and
,subJection; gafnish him with the
spice of pleasantly, and, if you add
kisses aud other conIections, let them
be accompanied with sufficient por-
tion of secresy, mixed with prudence
and moderation.

A Midnight Tragedy.
shington Cor. Boston Journal. |

Washington Cor. Boston journal.
Among the many bloody duels on
record as having been fought by con-
gressmen was one in which James
jackson, of Georgia-who had been
and who was afterward a United
States senator : vas the challenged
party. He was an Englishman by
birth, but he went to Savannah when
a lad, studied law, was a leading Free
Mason, and fought gallantly in the
Revolutionary War. He killed Lieu
tenant Governor Wells in 1880, and
was engaged in several other affairs
of honor" until finally he determined
to accept challenge on such terms as
would make it his last duel. So he
prescribed as the terms that each
party, armed with double barreled
gun loaded with buekshOt, and with a
hunting knife, should row himself in a
skiff to designated points on opposite
sides of the Savannah river. When
the city clock struck twelve, each
would row his skiff to a small island in
the middle of the river, which was
wooded and covered with underbrush.
On arriving at the island each was to
moor his skiff, stand by it for ten min
utes, and then go about on the island
until the meeting took place The
seconds waited on the main land until
after one o'clock, when they heard
three gun shots and loud, angry cries.
Then all was still. At daylight, as had
been agreed upon, the seconds went to
the island, and found Jackson lying on
the ground, insensible from the loss Of
blood, and his antagonist lying across
him, dead. jackson recovered, but
would never relate his experience of
that night, nor was he ever challenged
again. He died in this city, while
serving his second term as United
States senator, March 10, 1906,

SOUTHERN WOMEN.
What a Virginia Paper Says Of Their
Reconstruction.

The Richmond (Va.) State, in re-
cent issue, says
The reported remark of Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis, at a press meeting in Mis- !
sissippi, that he had never yet seen
reconstructed Southern woman" has
been the cause of a great deal more
discussion than its Importance entitled
it to, or the author had the remotest
idea it would call forth when, in a
spirit Of quiet humor, he gave it ut
terance. We all know here what the
ex-President of the Confederacy
meant, and how very harmless was the
expression, properly understood and
interpreted in its true spirit. But
constructing it as it has been by
our enemies at the North, and
allowing it the widest latitude from
their standpoint, it is, after
all, but negative. y X
y But, given its most literal
meaning, what does the remark of the
ex-President amount to, and how far
is it correct? ? Arc there no recon-
structed women in the South E? We
know there are, and very many, too
in fact, large majority of them are
thoroughly reconstructed, and accept
as fully the situation as nine tenths
Of the men do; but not in the sense
Of being changed in their sentiments
as to the Righteousness Of the cause
in support of which their husbands.
brothers, sons or fathers fought, and
tor which so many of them died.
The women of the South find no
difficulty in reconciling their duty to
their country now with their devo-
tion to and loving remembrance of
the cause to which they freely
gave their most precious jewels and,
while all perhaps teach their children
to honor the memory of their fathers
by upholding the justice of the quar-
rel in which they engaged, and by
revering the cause for which they fell,
yet they do not consider that in so in
structing they wrong the restored
Union to which they owe and acknowl-
edge duty and allegiance; and, surely,
that woman would scarcely be held a
good mother among any people who
should impress upon her children that
their duty to their country involved
the terrible alternative of cursing the
memory of their fathers. That our
Southern women are very reasonably
= reconstructed Mr.. Davis could have
, found sufficient evidence had he sought
it by passing through the country ant
mingling promiscuously with tn,
people. X 2 Our Northern
, friends may restrain their ange.
t against this terrible army of Southern
women. We can assure them they
are not conspiring to overthrow tn,
Union, plotting new rebellion, o.
: raising up children to revenge tn,
= wrongs of the South. Nothing of the
i sort but, like true women, are busy
! ing themselves whelly about the hap
1 piness of their homes, husbands anC
{ children, taking very little part in thu
! discussion Of the political questions
of the day.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-SENATE-
Mr.. Eaton called up the adjournment
resolution and moved to amend by
fixing pm. to-day as the time.
Mr.. Window then spoke in expla-
tion Of his course yesterday. He said
that his side had now exhausted all
legitimate powers conferred upon
them by the rules, in order to induce
the majority to make the necessary
appropriations for marshals. The
President had, so far as he (Windom)
knew, exhausted all the powers pos
sessed by him ON the subject. He had
appealed to congress to do its duty,
and not go home without making the
necessary appropriations.
The adjournment resolution, as
amended, finally passed.
The vote was reconsidered by which
free quinine was referred yesterday to
the committee on finance and the bill
passed by viva vOce vote.
Mr.. Maxey moved to discharge the
committee on foreign affairs from fur
ther consideration of the house joint
resolution looking to further treaty
with Mexico in order that it might be
considered and passed in the senate
to-day.
| Mr. Eaton opposed the motion. The
motion was referred to the commit
tee yesterday and was of such import
ance that it should be carefully ex-
amined.
| HoUsE,-Dilatory motions and vot-
| ing used up the morning hour, and the
bill went over.
A message was received from the
senate stating it had agreed to the
house resolution for final adjournment
with an amendment liking the time al
, 5 pm. to-day.
: Mr.. Morrison moved to concur il
the amendment, and a vote took place
on the motion.
The resolution was concurred in BY
a vote of SO to 65.
Recess was taken until o'clock.

THE Fourth of July will beanotable
occasion in Memphis, and among the
many entertainments and attractions
not the least will be the fireworks on
the bluff. This exhibition has taken
the shape Of a private enterprise sim
ply because the meagre subscriptions
would not defray theexpenses. Those
who have paid money are the only
ones who have right to complain, but
they have least to say, as is usually
the case. 1t is said, though We
do not vouch for the fact, that
one man applied for the priv
ilege of selling lemonade and
watermelOdS on the ground within
the enclosure, and, on being refused,
applied to the courts for an injunction
to stop the freworks-FoHrth of July

A TRAMP's STORY.
He is ExiIed by His Own Daughters, Who
Laugh at His MisfOrtunes
Chattanooga Times, 18th inst. ]

Chattanooga Times, 18th inst.l
Yesterday morning Times reporter
was accosted on the street by man
who was apparently in great want.
He begged for dime with which he
said ne would satisfy hunger which
was driving him mad. He looked as
though he had seen better days, and
the reporter asked him what had been
the cause of his fall, thinking of
course it was the result Of strong
drink. He recOunted a story, which,
if true, shows women in an attitude of
which it is hard to believe her capable.
He said he lived in one Of the West
ern States and was the owner Of fine
and valuable property. When the
times began to grow SO hard that men
and corporations of princely wealth
failed and had to succumb to the
wheel and tide of misfortune, he gave
up all he had except his beautiful
home, which had cost him the hard
labor Of many long years, and for the
love he bore his two lovely and accom-
plished daughters, he would for once
sacrifice his convictions of right and
honesty by making them by law the
owners of this home. When the vain
and frivolous girls discovered that the
property was their own, they imnedi-
ately began to make demonstrations of
their intention TO dispose Of the prop
erty and go to a city to live. The
father begged them to desist, but they
paid no attentions to his entreaties,
and finally sold the property, gave
their father a small sum of the money
and told him to look out for him
self and they would do the Same.
They then went to city, to
which he followed them and soon
spent all his money in searching for
them and trying to induce them to re-
turn home. They laughed in his face
refused to give him any more money
and told him to 90 back into the
country and work for another home
and they would spend that for hin
too5 He left them and they soor
spent all their money and are nov
leading lives of shame in the grea
metropolis, while he, disabled anC
crippled by exposure, has to beg from
door to door..for food on which to live
The old man told his story while til,
tears flowed rapidly down his sun
burned cheeks and dripped off hi
silyered and grizzly beard, and wheth
er it was true or not we cannot say
but we don't believe there is mai
iiiying who could have doubted tn,
story after hearing him repeat it. Th
reporter did not give him any money
but it was not because he did no
want to.

1t is often said that it does not pay
for farmers to raise this or that breed
of horses, but this is true only in a
limited sense. The best specimens of
any strain or style of horses sell rapid
ly, at good prices, and the poor ones
Of all breeds are drugs upon the mar
ket. 1t is no doubt true that a much
greater measure of success may be
expected with some breeds than 9TH
erJ, the choice depending largelypppn
the circumstances of the farmer, his
location, ETC., aud that, as a general
rule, ordinary farmers cannot compete
with wealthy, professional breeders in
producing horses for racing purposes,
either runners OF trottersi but even in
these classes, much will depend upon
the location and the sort Of brood
mares the farmer may have upon his
farm. If he is situated in region
famous for producing turf horses, one
that is frequented by buyers of such
horses, where he can have access to
Grst-class stations, and his, brood
mares are Of strains Of blood noted for
producing winners, be will certainly
find It most profitable 70 breed for
horses of this class. Where these
conditions do not exist, he will usual
ly find the surest profit in breeding
heavy draft or stylish carriage horses,
