Curtain Considerations.

Whether the ancients had any knowl-
edge of lace making. except gold lace, or
when the art came to be practiced in
Europe, is not known; and it isn't neces-
sary to know. The thing of Importance
is where one can get that graceful and
artistic drapery known as Lace Curtains;
and where to get it to the best advantage.
We know, and if modesty should prevent
our telling, it won't prevent us from sug-
costing that you investigate and then do
the telling yourself. To this end we in
vite you to view our curtain collection.
If we speak of ''Lace Curtains" it is sim

market has--in grades and prices. as well
as kinds-and are ready to give them out.

THE GREAT MAN.

Every human being is great as hu-
man being, "be he where or what he
may be-" Outward distinctions dwin-
die into insignificance by the loftiness
of his nature. Behold mans glorious
prerogatiyes-power Of intellect, of act
ing on his own mind, on nature and on
his fellow creaturesl He stands forth
created in the image of God-the image
even of his infnity, for no limits can
be set to the unfolding of human soul.
He may be clothed in rags, immured in
dungeon, or chained to slavish tasks
still the man is great, because he is
the being in possession of divine pow
ers of soul. Shut from any home of
earth, God may open to him heavenly
mansion. He may pass unnoticed
among men, may make no display in
life's crowded thoroughfares, yet down
in the soul a clean thought, a pure
affection, resolute act of will rein
forced by love of God, will have dig
nifty and an Importance far transcend.

OF it. But when I walked as far as the
light illumined, it shed its light still
further ahead; and thus, step by ste

with this blessed promise. Though it

Then we may safely affirm, real
greatness is independent of mans
sphere. You may not discover it in
the magnitude Of his outward agency,
or in the wide extent of the effects he
produces. The greatest souls may
cause little or no stir outwardly. The
grandeur Of character lies wholly in the
SOULS force-force of thought, force of
love, force of moral and religious prin-
ciple. AS force of thought measures
intellectual greatness, so it is force of
principle that measures spiritual great
ness-the highest of human endow-
ments, and we might add, the best
manifestation of divinity.
The greatest man is he who chooses
theright with invincible resolution; who
resists sorest temptations, from within
or from without who bears heaviest
burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in
the storms of life, and who puts unfal-
tering reliance on God, the source OF
all truth and virtue. Behold him
struggling in what conflicts of reason
with passion; of moral and religious
principle with almost irresistible solici-
tatlons to yield to base animalisml
You may least suspect it, and yet before
your very eyes one of the most heroic
deeds of earth is being done in some
silent spirit, or the loftiest purpose be-
ing cherished, or the most generous
sacrifice being made.-Reu. ". III

some of these animals are no longer to

have been more correct 10 have stated
that they have retreated before the civil

bears. and certainly wolves, are to be
found on the higher peaks. where no foot

In the next room are the models OF the
lake houses and the curious relics OF the
ages of stone and bronze which have been
found Embedded in the mud ard slime at
the bottom OF the lake The date OF
these remains cannot DO determined.
Opinions differ. but all agree on one
point--that they certainly existed before
the time OF Julius Caesar The houses
were cleverly built on four iron rods
sunk deeply in the mud at the bottom Of
the lake and supporting kind Of plat
form, on which the hut rested, and the
inhabitants reached the shore by means
Of canoes made Of followed trees. The
reason apparently of their choosing the
lake as a dwelling place was to protect
themselves from the numbers OF wild and
fierce animals with which the country
was infested Indeed il is evident that
tt was then little more than q vast marsh
or morass.
In the same room with the models are
some grotesque ornaments worn by tho
woman and some equally extraordinary

room are the skulls OF ssnle of these an.

they. and the inspection goes far to
strengthen ones belief in Darwin's
theory that their possible ancestors may
have been an ape like tribe.
There is no national costume worn by

many of the cottages you may see old
pictures, roughly but brightly colored,
representing the dress worn in days long
gone by A delightful excursion is by

That Is hard hit on the Atlanta Con-
situation that Joe Brown should be de-
feated on the idea of protection as a
Democratic idea. Still the Constitution
supports Cleveland for denomination
and must at the same time make con-
tradIction as the one prominent idea Of
Cleveland is opposition to protection.
The lesson of the conventions Of Georgia
and Alabama ought to produce good
effect on Virginia Democrats, among
whom there has been the same disaffec-

She Describes what Il Necessary 70 DO
In Order to jump With SAFETY.
Since the publicity which has been
given my jump into the net used by the
Gre department l have received 50 many
letters that find II impossible to answer
each individual The following covers. to
a great extent. questions that are asked;
at the same time the replies may be found
useful.
Before Jumping the first essential thing
is to draw into the lungs rs much air as
possible. Then hold the breath. AS the
time occupied in making the descent into
the net Is hut few seconds, 1t does not
require practice to comply with this re-
quest.
"why should the breath be held"
This is asked in many forms and as many
times.
The expansion of the lungs aids to sup
port and retain in place most of the inter
nal organs. The air acts as cushion. IL
enables the body to cffer resistance to the
atmosphere, making the body fail with
less force. and serves to lessen the shock
which comes the moment the body strikes
the net. The same effect is produced in
jumping into the water.
Hold. the elbows close to the side. Fore
arm almost at right angles, slightly in
front of body, with hands closed. Bend
knees Just a little, with feet extended for
ward. Keep head inclined forward; set
the chin firmly on chest. and under no
circumstances throw the head back.
The position in falling should be about
the same as person assumes when seated
In a chair. Keep all the muscles as rigid
as possible. The act of holding the breath
will aid in this. Use but little exertion
/ in making the leap. Spring lightly for
ward and outward, not downward. The
latter motion will take care of itself.
Jump as il about to cross q small ditch
with land on each side of equal height.
When the net Is struck the muscles will
at once relax, and, rebounding In the air,
the body will fall again without pain or
injury. Avoid swinging the arms or
spreading the limbs while in the air. To
do either is to invite liability of breaking
limbs Any sudden motion will have a
tendency to revolve the body or cause it
to deviate from its course.
Yourreaders viii find it to their interest
to practice inhaling and retaining the air
as long as possible within the langs. 1t
will expand and develop the chest In
this country we have the fault of eating
quick and breathing too fast.
| If height causes hesitation do not look
down. Keep the eyes fixed straight for
ward. Then go. Remember our brave
| firemen are as anxious to save your life as
you are TO retain it. In my endeavor to
! show how safe it was to jump into the net
now in use wore ordinary street costume
In my leap. My watch did not stop. This
fact ought to inspire confidence to those
who may need it in case Of fire. --"Za2ei"
