Mrs. Testy-Yes, I'm glad to say
that my husband is very good natured
Mrs. Crusty-And so is mine.
Mrs. Testy-But my husband
never kicked over the stove.
Mrs. Crusty-Are you sure of that
Mrs. Testy-Yes, I'm sure of it
but | heard your husband did.
Mrs. Crusty-Well, whoever told
you that told falsehood; besides,
I'd rather my husband would kick
over the stove than to kick me,
like | heard a certain woman's hus-
band did.
Mrs. Tosty-Ohl you mean thing
My husband never gave me as much
as cross word in his life.
Mrs. Crusty-No, and | suppose
he never came home intoxicated.
Mrs. Testy-Yes, I'll admit that;
but then he doesn't squander all his
money and leave his family suffering
for bread.
Mrs. Crusty-I can prove that my
husband is not a spend .hrift
Mrs. Testy-Prove it, please.
Mrs. Crusty-Why, he buys his
clothes at the Misft Parlors, 262
Second street.
Mrs, Testy-And SO does mine.
He says he can save money enough
there on a suit and overcoat to buy
coal for the entire winter.
Mrs. Crusty-That's just the re-
mark my husband made. He said
the overcoat he got there for SO was
worth $40, and the suit he paid $40
for could not have been made to sell
for less than S35.
Mrs. Testy-I'm sorry, dear, that l
said anything about your husband.
Mrs. Crusty-Never mind, it was
all my fault; but l guess we'd been
quarreling yet if it hadn't been for
the Misft Parlors. Gracious what
happiness they do bring to Memphis.
Mrs. Testy-Yes, the Misft Par
lors are a real blessing. There are
bargains there for rich aud poor, for
it sells the finest of custom made
clothing at prices which do not often
represent the cost price Of clothing.
You get Suits, Overcoats and Pants
there for half price.

An Interesting Exhibition at the
 Welch School.

MT. Henry A. Jones, author of "An Aid to Musical Calculation" gave very inter esting and instructive lecture yesterday af- ternoon to the class of teachers in training at the Welch school. Superintendent Out ton, Hon. H. M. Welch, Senator Plunkett, Maier Zunder, Hugh Daley, George H. Sut- ton and others, including teachers, were present.
 MT. Jones prefaced his subject by stating that he did not propose to deal in general re- marks respecting either the science of num- bers or the art of their compilation. Gener- alities not even having the poor quality of glittering are too often palmed off to teach CTS. He proposed to give them facts, facts of easy comprehension. facts which they could carry into their respective schools and reproduce to the direct benefit of their scho1- ars, enabling them to do their work easier and in more intelligent manner.
 He showed how the greatest common measure can be determined by inspection and applied the knowledge to the reduction of different fractions to lower terms, making the operation one of inspection. He can be changed to decimals by just one-half of the usual labor, and how mixed numbers can be dealt with as divisors with out their previous reduction to improper f-ac- tions; also how interest, especially bank dis count, can not only be mentally obtained but more quickly than it can be by the use of in. terest tables.
 He revealed the leading features of sys- tenn of multiplication and division by the of arithmetical complements, saving at least three-fourths of the work required by the usual process. Take it all in all the lecture was replete with valuable information.
 Queries were made to MT. Jones by MT. Welch, MT. Zunder and Superintendent Out ton as to his manner of teaching these rapid methods. At the close of the lecture Sena- tor Plunkett made some admirable remarks heartily approving of these short processes in arithmetic and recommending the book to teachers for their study.
