About Women.

Women always show by their actions
that they enjoy going to church men
are less demonstrative.
When a woman becomes furried she
feels for a fan; when a man becomes
furried he feels for cigar.
Women jump at conclusions and gen
orally hit; men reason things out logi-
cally and generally miss it.
Some women can't pass millinery
store without looking in some men
can't pass a saloon without going in.
A woman never sees a baby without
wanting to run to it; a man never secs
a baby without wanting to run away
from it.
Women love admiration, appreciation.
self-immolation on the part of others
are often weak, vain and frivolous.
Ditto men.
A woman always carries her purse in
| her hand so that other women can see
it man carries his inside pocket sc
his wife can't see it.

MEDICINB-pAKING.
The Danger of Taking Too Many Poison
Gus Compounds.

Since there is a special tendency in
most communities to take too much
medicine, and to take it recklessly, it
has not been the object 10 iuceass that
tendency. While the use and value of
drugs are not to be denied, it is claimed
that no ignorant person should ever
dabSle with them, remembering that
the more active of them are active be-
cause they are poisons, or at least mod
lficatiOns of poisons, and if giveE inju-
diciously when not needed, OF in too
large doses, the poison element will ap-
pear. And here it is proper to refer to
that absurd idea that disease is a mons
steT, TO be slain by the administration
of active poisons-killed like any other
monster, tiger to be subjugsted. On
the contrary, disease is but the absence
of ease and health, a negative rather
than a positive condition, the removal
of which depends mainly on co o-Operat-
| ing with nature, whose efforts are al
ways in the right direction, though not
always effectual.
All of these, in a certain sense, may
| be regarded as curative, though failure
/ often results, either from the lack of
/ sufficient physical foundation, from sur
| rounding adverse circumstances or
from an interference on the part of
those who would cure, but who, on ac-
| count of ignorance OF false ideas. intro
! duce discord and false efforts 1t may
be that such, foolishly believing that
the more critical and dangerous the
| case, even when much reduced in vital
| force, the more powerful the dose de-
| manded, act on this principle, and give
the the dose that might be safe in ordi-
nary cases, to persons of the same age
and sex, exercising no discrimination
| no judgment. Such should remember
that those weak in body are also weak
in the stomach, as certainly unable tC
bear large doses as they are to perform
hard labor. I have seen many an adult
TO whom l would give no more than a
strong boy slightly ailiDg could bear al
the age of four years. And when suct
are dosed with no regard to their weak
ness the sudden death is attributed t
''heaTt disease, - while the intelligent
know that but very small percentage
of the sudden deaths are caused by or
gsnic diseases of the heart. 1t is ais
believed that prevention is better, easier
safer and cheaper than cure.-Dr. Han

BIRMINGHAM.
The Founding and Development OF the
Magic CIty Of the South.

Birmingham, the magic city OF the
South, was incorporated December 19,
1871, and is beautifully situated iD
Jones' Valley, Jones county, Ala, and
is the county seat at present. The for
mer capital town of Jefferson county
was Elyton, distant about two miles,
now a suburb of the city, containg a
number of fine residences James r.
Powell, T. r. Miller and Samuel TAFT
were the original promoters and found
ers of the new city. They saw their
chance to make fortune, and had the
nerve and means to go in and win by
buying up the lands about the time the
South and North Alabama and Chatta-
nooga roads were being built through
this then wild and comparatively un-
known section, for, until then, little if
anything was known of the vast mineral
wealth here deposited.
The gentlemen previously named,
after a careful survey of the lands, for
the purpose of fascertaining beyond doubt
/ the extent, quality, &C.. of the coal,
! iron and limestone, we're fully assured
/ of the almost inexhaustible quantity
/ and of the superior quality of the san e..
/ Immediately they set about forming q
! company OF syndicate for the purpose
of developing the lands and bringing in
/ to market these rich deposits that had
! lain hidden foI unknown ages. A loca-
| tion for city was carefully and judi
! ciously selected, surveyed, and as our
friend BOSS" Shepherd would say, laid
| out in a comprehensive plan with an
eye of faith to the future greatness of
the embryo city. The reports at first
were doub:fully received, so incredible
they seemed. It was hard for the stald
old iron masters of Pennsylvania and
other mineral regions to believe that
such vast deposits of minerals could
exist in the South. and that it could re-
main here or elsewhere for 80 long un.
discovered. Shrewd and enterprsing
iron men and capitalists from New
Castle, Pa, and Wheeling, W. Va.
came on to see for themselves, and were
convinced OF the truthfulness of the
statements made. They purchased
lands and erected mills, furnaces, &C.
The result has been marvellous. The
taxable property n the city of Birming
ham in 1888 was 81, So, 900. and il
1884 it had increased to $3. .302. .136. Th,
city is lighted with a superior gas man
ufactured from coal procured in tn,
immediate vicinity. Water of a good
quality is furnished by clear strean
that flows near by. A paid fire depart
ment is maintained, while the police AM
sanitary are all that could be desired
The city boasts of a pretty opera house
capable of seating 1850 persons, one o
the best arranged places of amusemen
in the South. CHAM Cor. OF tn

Housekeeping Accounts.
Ne,o York Commercial Advertiser

A young housekeeper' asks if it be
necessary to keep accounts. She writes:
DO you really think an account book
help2 l have never kept accounts and
am sometimes puzzled to know what
becomes of the money. At the same
time l am often tempted to think an
account book 'delusion and a snare,
an extra burden to housekeeper's life
without its compensation. 10 this
question of my young friend, reply
that an account book, conscientiously
kept, far from being burden, is likely
to become one of the greatest helps to
a housekeeper. One admirable house
kesper recently told me that she receiv-
ed certain amount each week tor
housekeeping, and as she had never ex-
ceeded it she thought she might as well
save the additional trouble involved by
accounts. This was, perhaps, well
enough in her case, but it is not every
one who is blessed with so liberal an
income that no thought must be taken
as to its expenditure. A very convent
ent and practical manner of keeping
an account book is to have personal and
household divisions. The subdivisions
under the second general title should
embrace columns of food, fuel, light,
articles for household use, repairs, SER
wants wages, expenditures for extra
help, rent, insurance and taxes. The
other general title should contain
subdivision for each member of the fam
ily, and others for charity, church ex-
penses, gifts and amuSements. Each
subdivision should be plainly indicated,
so that it may be seen at once exactly
how the money is spent. The great ad-
vantage of this plan is that, in case OF
too great expenditure, it will be tar
easier to see precisely where the cutting
down shall take place, than in case
where all the expenditures are simply
put down without any attempt at classi-
fication. A clever woman has an orlgl-
--l-~r ef Looping ts.-,---y-- Si-. -
box marked household in which the
money for the house is put; another
marked dress and another marked
samusements.' Into the latter box the
money received for gifts and all saved
from the other two boxes is put every
month, and the cost of many pleasant
outing has been taken from its contents
This person keeps strict accounts, ane
if the amusement box is not suppllec
, with the necessary funds when trip t'
the country is desired, the outing is no
: indulged until the sum is in the box.

Hair and Character.
Household Words.

1T is fact, said the barber, that
| better idea of character is oftentimes
expressed by the beard than by the
countenance. The art of reading char
acter by the beard is taught as science
in Paris under the name of photography
and l understand a book is shortly to
be published in which the principles of
this science will be given in detail.
Did you ever notice that people of very
violent temper have always close-grow-
ing hair1 1t is easy enough for me to
note at a glance how. mans hair
grows. Then l know how to handle
him. Men of strong temper are gener-
ally vigorous, but at the same time they
are not always fixed in their opinions.
Now the man with coarse hair is rooted
to his prejudices. Coarse hair denotes
obstinacy. 1t is not good business pol
icy to oppose man whose hair is coarse.
The eccentric man has always fine hair,
and you never yet saw a man of cratic
tendencies, who at the same time has
sound mind, that was not refined in his
tastes. Fine hair indicates refinement.
You may have noticed that men engag-
ed in intellectual or especially aesthetic
pursuits, where delicacy is required,
have invariably fine, luxuriant hair and
beard. The same men as class, par
ticularl ly painters, are always remarkble
for their personal peculiarities.
The brilliant, sprightly fellow, who,
by the way, is almost always superficial,
has generally a curly beard If not,
his hair is curly. It's easy to bring a
smile to the face of man whose hair is
curly. He laughs where colder natures
see nothing to laugh at. But that's be-
cause his mind is buoyant and not deep
enough to penetrate to the bottom of
things. There is good deal of differ
ence between coarse hair and hair that
is harsh, though it requires an expert to
distinguish it. For example, a mans
mustache may be as fine as silk and yet
cannot be trained to grow into grace
full curve. That's because the hair is
harsh. Now people whose hair is harsh
have amiable but cold natures. They
are always ready to listen, but it is diff
cult to arouse their feelings. In men of
this disposition the hair on their heads
is generally, in fact, almost always, of
a shade darker than their boards. When
the beard is full, covering the entire
face, the color varies from dark shade
near the roots to red, which colors the
ends of the hair. These men have very
rarely a good memory. They forget
easily, and often leave a cane or an
overcoat behind them in baber's shop.
They are great procrastinators and are
bad at keeping appointments. Think
over your acquaintance and see if the
man who is habtually slow has not
mnstache or beard of lighter shade
than his hair. It's always the case.
These are the men who come in late at
the theatre and get to the station just
in time to miss the train. But philo-
graphy is science. 1t takes years of
study and observation to acquire it.
From long practice and natural liking
skill in discerning character

What Makes q Man.

Not numerous years nor heightened life,
Nor pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe, cigar, nor blotted wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine;
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
A dandy vest or trimmed cravat,
Nor oil the worlds wealth laid in store;
Nor mister, reverend, sir, nor squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went from Normandy to kill;
Nor thousand volumes rambled DER;
Nor Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore,
Nor judges robe nor mayors mace,
Nor crowds that deck the royal race.
These all united never can
Avail to make a single man.
A truthful soul, loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind;
A spirit firm, erect, and free,
That never basely bends knee;
That will not bend feathers weight
Of slavery's chance for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within;
That never makes league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and him alone,
And bows no more than at his throne;
And trembles at no tyrant's nod;
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or ban
This is the soul that makes a man.
