TIE IL .LTATIoN OF a GAME.

A scientific writer in leading Scottish
journal is quoted approvingly by the Popa-
lar Science Monthly in an essay on BRAIN
power in education, in which the game Of
whist is exalted. Considering this to be
an age when brain-power alone is the
governing agent, he deems it essential to
settle upon the best test by which to esti
mate correctly that power in various indi-
viduals. Competitive examinations having
descended into official routine, he considers
as but imperfect tests the training youths
receive belongs to acquired knowledge
knowledge of rules and formula, etc.
Mathematics tend to strengthen the mind,
but pupils are oftenest crammed with
mathematics, and fail to mentally digest the
matter, and hence the mind is really weak
ened. The aquisition of modern languages
is not test of brain power, for child
will excel an adult, and modern languages
are based on arbitrary rules, and reason
does not enter into their study. Modern
mental training Is represented but by two
subiects-those which store and those
which strengthen the mind. The mental
exercise had in the game of chess he deems
quite as efficient as mathematical discip.

value, and to play them exercises brain

and by that game therefore brain power is
more called into action than by mathe-

Mrs. LdnOfrY,

Mrs. Langtry'S own story of her
life, furnished at the request of st.
Louis paper, is told with such sweet
ness and simplicity that no apology
is needed for its reproduction here :
Al was born in the Isle-nOt the
State-Of Jersy, twenty-eight years
ago. My father was dean of the
island and senior dean of the United
Kingdom. My grandfather also
belonged to the clergy-all were dig
nitaries of the church. My mother
was Scotchwoman. | had six
brothers, and all but one were older
than |. was the only girl. l led
most retired life, sharing my
bro, hers pursuits and receiving the
same education until / reached
my twentieth year. Then 1 mar
ried Mr.. Edward Langtry, and
passed a six months honeymoon on
a yacht. Two years subsequently L
went to LOndOn-chietiy to seek
the advice of physician as L had
lust recovered from a severe attack
of typhoid fever, and / dreaded its
consequences. My entrance into
London social life dates from party
at Lady Seabright's. ThencefOr-
ward was invited everywhere and
treated with the greatest kindness
and figured necessarily in London
society. Meanwhile the greatest
expenses connected with social
pleasure, and the Irish troubles
my husband being an Irish land
owner and largely dependent for
his income upon his property in
Ireland, exhausted our means. 1t
became necessary for me to earn a
livelihood. l had a strong inclina-
ton for the stage, and my husband
sanctioned it. My family in Jersy
was shrunken four of my brothers
had died-my favorite brother was
killed by a fall in the hunting field
so the prospect of absence from
England was less distressing than
it might have been. Mr.. Langtry
strove, and is striving to do his
share toward restoring our fortunes
and regrets as much as | do that he
is unable, on that account, to ac-
company me to America. That is
my whole story. Since / arrived
here my life has been a public one.
| have had nothing to conceal, con-
tent in the belief that falsehood and
malignity will in the end defeat
themselves without effort on my
part"

A KISS on the Sly.

There lis to be found much re-

kiss. This much everybody ac-
knowledges, though only frank
few have the courage to acknOwl-
edge it openly. AS it is a curious
fact yet unexplained by the philOs.
ophers, that the slyer the kiss is the
more is i'm it of refreshment.
A kiss that is paid as forfeit be.
fore q whole room full of people is
prosaic, not to say embarrassing
The girl laughs, which spoils the
romance, and the fellow, ten to one,
blushes-neither of them thinking
much of it, and they are both apt
pretty soon to forget all about 1t.
But let the same fellow kiss the
same girl when nobody is looking
and the situation is as different as
possible. That sort of a kiss, fired
in hurry behind the door or in
a conservatory, is like an electric
shock, and is as sweet as cream
The taste of ii sort of holds on and
constantly suggests the prOpriety-

be-of trying it again. And the
laughing and blushing are exactly
reversed. The fellow laughs with

altered circumstances, be so entirely
different, nor is it any the less
queer because the differences. has
existed from the earliest age of the

Mnrrsed for Love.
Nonlre,S Statesman,

The man who is married for love
is happy fellow. He is generally
cheerful, and always thinking about
the dear ones at home. He prefers
to live out of town for the sake OF
the children. He is rarely late at
business, rises early, gardens little,
eats hearty breakfast, and goes to
the necessary labor with light heart
and clean conscience.
He often brings home pleasant
surprises for his wife and children.
You may recognize him in trains,
loaded with parcels, which he good
naturally carries with perfect un-
concern of what others think-a
new bonnet, music, books, a cloak
for his wife while in another par
eel the wheels of cart, "a jack-in
the box, doll, or skipping rope,
prOtrude through the paper and
suggest the nursery. He is brave and
kind though he makes no noise in
the world
The humanizing influence of that
darling red-cheeked little fellow
who calls him father brings a glow
and rapture of the purest pleasure
earth holds; for the man who has
never felt tiny hand clasp his will
always lack sumething-he will be
less Human, less blessed than others.
This is the noble, the honest, the
only form of life that Imparts real
contentment and joy, that will make
Il death bed glorious, and love see
peace through its tears. 1t is SO
purely unselfish, SO tenderly true;
it satisfies the highest instincts, it
stimulates men to the best deed they
are capable of.

Home Markets.
Memphis Avalanche,

The Paducah News undertakes
the importance of the home mar
ket for agricultural production. The
growth of the real power of the Uni
ted States begun with the building
of home markets and those sections
of the union containing the best
home markets command the high
est prices for agricultural product
ion. Besides Increasing the prices
of farm products the home market
diversities agricultural production
and gives the farmer good prof
it's on, numerous products of the
farm that cannot be transported
long distances. Near manufact-
uring village there is greater profit
in a small fruit, or Vegetable, or
poultry farm, than there is in big
cotton or tobacco plantation. What
this country wants is more home
markets. we want them in Ten
nessee. If Memphis employed 3d.
600 persons in cotton, iron, and
wooden mills, the agricultural pop
ulation of Shelby county would be
quadrupled and a farmer would
make four dollars profit on his abor
where now he makes one dollar.
We talk about diversified farming
industries and we know from obser-
walton that the richest farmers in
America are those who buy no arti-
Gle they can raise on their own
farms. If that is a good system for
the individual it is good thing for
the State and nation. Tennessee
would have 100 rich farmers where
now it has one If we produced all
the hay, corn, wool anu axhandles
that we use. And SO with the ma
ton. The United States will go
down hill rapidly when it begins to
maintain its manufacturing indus
tries in Great Britain instead of at
home.

The End.

Life consists in ends and begin
nings. There is an end, last hour
to everything. We always put it so
far in the future that we forget it,
and when it comes, it comes so I'M
expectedly that it finds us unpre-
pared. The last hour is always
terrible when those which preced-
ed it were so full of present pleas
ure that nothing was arranged for
the coming gloom. The end is al.
ways sad the end of summer, the
end of joy and end of life. The
end of summer when the winds
wall, and all nature dies a tempo
rary death the END of joy, when
the chill of sorrow comes creeping
over us, and, sadder than all, the
end of life, the last dark hour be-
fore eternity's dawn. When We see
the life we love ebbing away, and
we are powerless to stop it, then we
must take warning to ourselves.
The end is not only for one, but for
all. When the thread OF time shall
be snapped in its curcuit, we shall
all enjoy that which we have so
long desired.

Ammonia For the Lungs.
Foreign Letter,

The Bulletin of the Royal Acad-
envy of Medicine of Belgium, pre-
sents the new method of treating
consumption and bronchial affec-
tons originating with M. Melsens.
Ammonia, its salts or its complex
compounds, is the curative. The
discoverer's attention was first call
ed to the ammonial effects OH per-
sons inhaling the vapors of carbon
ate of ammonia from stables. Liv-
cry stable keepers are usually the
most healthy-lOoking of men, and
are rarely troubled with respirato-
ry affections. NJ. Melsens first med
icated himself, during bronchial
attack, by wearing in bag attach
ed TO the neck of his shirt, pieces
of ammOniac carbonate, and was
cured in few days. He then in
troduced it in his practice, and sat
isfied himself of its remedial eff
cacy. Going still further, he spray
ed the respiratory passages with
ammonia, and here, too, he met
surprising success.

W Oman-HOpe for Suffering WOm-
asa! Something new Under
The sum-!

BY reason of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
ON the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zation. The frequent and distressing
Irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to a degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the howell
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
and without remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she
