Everybody who has seen our two show
windows say tina. the display is the most
unique and artistic yet seen in Memphis.
II you have not seen the miniature re.
production of the prospective Memphis
bridge, don't fail to peep in our south
window.
Some like the church scene in the north
window better than the bridge scene in
the south window, but we think both are
worthy Of favorable comment.
No matter how great the rush OF bust.
necs, we shall only keen our store open

prs,sr;,,r a Eerxo skcletan.

One Of the most Interesting features OF
the convention Of state homeopathic
physicians is the completion by Or. l..
i Weaver, denaonstrator OF anatomy at
the Homeopathic college. OF piece Of
work which has occupied his close at
tention for SIX months. 1t is complete
expose of all tae nerves Of the human
BODY, exactly in the position they occupy
during life. Some idea can TO formed
Of tho labor involved when it is ret1era-
bered that the human body contains up
ward CT million nerves Of various sorts.
DR.. Weaver, who lately travelled III
EuroDe, was struck with the want OF
some specimen of anatomy showing the
nerves only. Procuring the body Of a
coored woman, who had died in very
enaciated condition, DR.. Weaver, work
ing ten hours day for upward OF six
months. and chiseling the bones away
piece by piece, managed to get what he
wanted. As seen the other day, the
figure, pinned to blackboard in pol
i,ilcd frame, looked at a distance like n
very delicate drawing in white OF the
nerves Of the human figure. A close In
snection. however, revealed the fact that
the delicate lines were really nerves,
some as delicate and fine as silk. The
dura mater cf the skull and backbone are
retained and also the eyes. The nerves
Of the spinal cord are so fine and 80 close
together that q very fine needle had TO be
used to separate them. Portions OF the
skin are also preserved, but every particle
of bone and tissue las been removed

The wont,rons weather Plant.

That remarkable specimen of the vese-
table world, the weather plant. con-
tinues to excite considerable interest.
Men Of science, who on its first discovery
were unwilling to express an opinion ca
its prognesticating virtues, low agree,
after extensive experiments. that the
shrub is in truth prophetic. Thirty
thousand trials made during the last
three years tend to prove its inss..ihllity.
The plant itself is a legunie, commonly
called the 'Paternoster pea but Known
in botany as the Ahrns Peresiaus. 1t IS
q native of Corsica and Tunis. It's leaf

Danger In Water Filters

A most astounding revelation has come
to those who have been confidently trust
ing to appliances for purifying their
drinking water. It seems that the
ordinary filter, instead Of rendering the
water pure and safe, is actually the
means Of producing just the opposite re-
suit. The Rhode Island Medical society,
through Or. Swarts, shows that some
filters when first used do remove Pro-
portion of disease germs. But after be-
ing in use only a few days there is q
marked increase in the number OF col
onies Of germs in the filtered SIS COM
pared with the unfltered water. In one
instance the uafltered water showed the
presence of thirty-six colonies. while the
filtered contained the enormous number
of 1900. 5000, 5000. and even more.
That is, the poison caught up BY the
filter the first few days becomes the
source Of vast multiplication Of the
dangerous element. So look to your
precautions, and then be on your guerd.
If YOU cannot constantly cleanse your
filters you had better destroy them

Health Hints for Women.

As nights grow cooler all women who
are in the least rheumatic or chilly should
sleep in blanket wraps over the night
gown. preventing aches and colds caught
bv tossing the arms over the head, as
we'll as the loss of sleep that often comes
of disturbed circulation. People who use
their brains habitually, teachers. writers,
artists, must keep warm as tbs.saving Of
their abilities. They must Nave fires
early. and use footwarmers by day and
night. and dress like Esquimaus if neces-
sary. or congestion of the brain or lungs
is the penalty. The Inflammation of the
lungs which carried off George Eliot and
Mrs. Browning was descended from the
chilliness and poor circulation which
these brain workers had borne for years.
Care must be taken. with al! this heat
ing. to have a current of warm, fresh air
circulating in the rooms and to have 1t
healthily moist Such precautions give
soft and lovely complexion. equal to tho
famous Newport bloom. The best way to
secure this constant ventilation without
draft il by having the top Of the window
fitted with perforated board, pierced by
many conical boriags, only quarter es
wide at the center as at each surface OF
the hole. This gives fine, forcible play
of minute currents through the room in
stead of dangerous large drought. 1t il
q woInan's invention. and very clever one
for keeping rooms perfectly healthy and
fresh. 1t is a little remarkable that a plain
American woman should have worked
out plan of cheap, efficient ventilation
on the same principles as the French in
vention which draw the applause o.
scientific men year, later.
To keep the air moist tho simplest way
is to keep pan Of water in the heat reg
