Gossip.

There is absolutely no redeeming
feature in gossip. Even if true, we
do not desire to know disagreeable
facts about any of our neighbors.
Nothing is more demoralizing to a
man than to lose faith in his fell
lows. The man of faith and honor
is not apt to be suspicious of others,
and does not willingly believe evil.
The lover of scandal and the believ-
er in it are alike deficient in honor
and morality, and are the bane OF
well organized society. If all gos-
sips could be quietly killed some
morning, the next generation Of
men and women Would be happier.
A case of hydrophobia now and
then starts the cry of "muzzle the
dogs" death on the highways"
etc. There is death and mystery in
the highways and byways and in
the home from the poisoned tongues
of the gossips. Let the voice go
up, "Muzzle the gossips." Teach
the children that gossiping is dis
honorable, and that faith in the
honor and virtue of mankind will
build up society and add to the sum
of human MISUNDERSTANDING.

woman's Work.

l am convinced that at least
one-quarter Of the work performed
by women is unnecessary, and that
the world would get on quite as
well without it. 1t is like the otto
man cover / once saw a lady work
ing. She was all bent up, and put
ting her eyes out counting stitches.
Il haven't any time for reading" she
said plaintively, as she picked up
some beads on needle. "You
must have a great deal of leisure"
And yet she had spent more time.
embroidering a ridiculous dog on a
piece of broadcloth than I had
spent with my books in year, and
when the work was done she COW
cred it up with lace tidy and set it
in dark corner where the sun would
not face it, and threated to cut off
the children's ears if they ever sat
upon it. 1t did not have the poor
merit of being economical, for the
price of the materials would have
bought handsome damask for two
covers. A friend of mine tells of
seeing a squaw seat herself by the
town pump, unroll a bundle of cali
co, and cut ont a dress, make it,
put it on, and walk off, all in about
two hours. / have always regretted
that he did not continue the telling
me that the squaw spent her album
dant leisure beautifully. I would
not have women reduce their sew
ing to quite so simple performance
but good deal would be gained if
they thought more about living and
less about it's accidents. The tran
scendent fact is, what we are, not
what we accumulate or possess.
Even knowledge may be so used
that it is merely an ornament,
which keeps up twinkling about
the mind, like bright jewels in pref
ty ears, and is only a possession
and not a part Of ourselves. To
fill time to pass it busily, is not to
use it. Labor in itself is not wer-
thy. The meanest work that
m axes home a lovely, sacred place
is consecrated, and fit for the hands
of queen; but delicate work that
ministers to human need, even if
it has artistic merits to recommend
it, if it consumes the hours a woman
ought to use training her mind to
think and her eyes to see, and max
ing her brain something more than
a mere filing of her skull, is but
busy idleness, and a waste of time.
1 hope the day will come when ev
cry woman who can read will be
ashamed of the columns ''for the la
dies" printed in some of our pa
pers, and which tell with more sar
castle emphasis than any words OF
mine how some women spend their
leisure.

The south Looming o..

The looms of the south are
throwing tile north into hysteri 5.
The turning point has been reached
and the gradual growth of southern
cotton goods production has as
sumed controlling proportions. The
whole northwestern market can be
reached by the southern goods
cheaper than the northern facto-
ries can weave the goods. As the
sceptre is departing from these
lords of the spindle, they are cast
ing about for means to save them
selves and have hit upon it. 1t will
succeed unless the south is given
the same advantages they now sue
for. They have demanded of the
railroads Redistribution of freight
rates so they may carry their do
mestics to the west at a less rate
than the south gets. This has
been an immense source Of revenue
to the railroads and they will
doubtless grant the reduction. Now,
how is the south to meet this at
tack? We are standing here in
battle array against our railroads.
Instead of fostering them, we are
fighting them: They may kneel
and kiss the hand that smites them,
perhaps, and maybe they win not.
We are in nice fix now in Tennes-
see to ask these ',grinding monop-
olies" to come to our relief. Every
material interest of this coun
try calls upon the Legislature to
let the railroads alone-nnless it is
to help them instead of crippling
them.

Too Much Legislation.

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco leaf
makes the following sensible re-
marks: Members of the legisla-
ture should not make the mistake
Of thinking that unless they can in
troduce and secure the passage of
several bills they will have accom-
plished nothing. There is no more
valuable member of a legislative
body than he..who prevents the pass
age of bills. We have too much
legislation, too many changes. One
legislature enact laws making radi-
cal changes. Hardly has The law
begun to be understood and become
valuable before another legislature

ceding legislature are sought to be

The proposed confiscation Of the
railroad interests and property in
Tennessee suggests the feasibility of
the state stepping into the shoes of
the roads and owning the property.
The state has no right to regulate
their rates so that they cannot
make interest on their money, and
If she is going to confiscate their
profits, let her go the whole hog
and gobble-up the entire property
and run them herself. But, Won
say, the slate would lose moneys

fair thing she will not force the
railroads into condition that she

A Boon FOR Women

Mr.. Jno NJ. Cayce, Tennessee's
great inventor, has at last made a
satisfactory application of his spring
power to sewing machines and gave
last Saturday public exhibition OF
its working before sewing machine
men and experts, who declare it
to be an absolute success and the
most perfect motor in use. The
Banner Monday had long account
of the test and pronounces it one
of the greatest inventions of this in
ventive age. 1t is thought that a
company will be at once formed to
manufacture the appliance in Nash
vile. We have insisted and pre-
dicted for years the final success of
this wonderful man. We have
known him closely, and outside of
his miraculous genius, he is one of
the truest, purest men we ever knew
We shall rejoice greatly when the
unlimited success that is sure to
crown his efforts shall dawn upon
his work and worth and bless his
excellent family. X

Isaac ouintard." father of Bisbo


Isaac Quintard, father of Bishop
c. I. Quintard, of Tennessee, died
several days ago at Stamford, Conn
The New York Tribune says he
was eighty nine years old, and twas
born in Stamford in the same house
in which he died, being the son OF
Isaac Quintard, of revolutionary
fame, and agrandson OF Seth Palm
er, one of the largest real estate
owners in that part of Connecticut.

Qufntard was grocery keeper at
Stamford. At the death of his
grandfather, Seth Palmer, he inner
tied his property in that village,
the large farms adjacent going to
other heirs The reason assigned
for this was that Mr.. Quintard,
when a young man, was considered
rather wild, and, as a punishment,
he was given what was apparently
the least valuable of his GRANDPA
ther's property. TWAS subsequent

Study not how far plants will en-.

and fertilization-there is limit in

every mans circumstances and pc

The Ladies' Auxiliary has made

The Ladies' Auxiliary has made
enough money to buy an organ for
the Y. VI. G. A. room, but after
having raised it for that special pur-
pose are undecided whether to in
vest the amount that way or in
literature. The argument that the
money was raised for that purpose
and that the organ will bring more
young men to the meetings than
anything else, will probably decide
them in favor of the organ. 1t has
been remarked that the attendance
has increased since Prof Burgett
has been performing on his organ
at the meetings. The Y. NJ. C. A.
will he grateful to the ladies in
either event, but they might relieve
the ladies somewhat by giving ex-
preston to their choice as between
the organ and more books or periodi-
Gals. In fact, the Auxiliary has
been thinking of calling a mass
meeting in order to ascertain which
is preferred.

Under ordinary circumstances it
is not good policy to carry over
hogs until they are eighteen months
or two years old. A nine months
pig that will net $50 pounds. of
pork makes cheaper bacon than an
eighteen months or two-year- old
hog that will make only 200 and
$50 pounds. Pigs Uttered about
the 1st of March and butchered
about the next December or Jan
uary make the cheapest and best
meat for family use. They have
then lived through only s part OF
one winter season.

The Fourteen Wonders Of the World.

The seven wonders of the WoPio
in ancient times were the Pyramids
of Egypt, the Pharos of Alexandria,
the walls and hanging gardens Of
ancient Babylon, the Temple of Di.
ana, the statue of the Olympian Ju-
piter, the Mausoleum of Artemisia,
and the Colossus at Rhodes.
The seven wonders of the world
in modern times are the printing
press, the steam engine, the tele-
graph, the daguereotype, the tele-
phone, the monograph, she electric
light.
The so-called Seven Wonder" CT
the Ancients were mere TRIES com
pared with those of the present time.
The Brooklyn bridge, for example,
would make the hanging gardens of
Babylon mere toy, while the

would sink into insignificancG could
