Editor 1Irs. Heating.

There has been some curiosity Of late among
those posted on good book reviewing as to
the identity Of the literary editor Of The
Memphis Daily Appeal The critical work
on that paper-editorial and review-has
been of SO superior quality as to attract
attention The secret is out! The work is
that of a bright southern woman-Mrs. j. e.
Heating, wife of the managing editor Of The
Appeal. In addition to being charming
writer, the lady is possessed of analytical and
critical faculties strongly tinctured with lib
erality and broad, intelligent common sense.
She has the courage Of her convictions, and
they are far from being narrow or provin-
cial Every summer season she visits New
York and informs herself as completely as
possible as to what is going on in literary
way, and knowing her own field and people
thoroughly she is more than ordinarily well
equipped for her work Mrs Heating is Of
the true southern type, tall, blonde, and Of
dignified presence: good conversationalist,
a woman of superior mind and judgment, a
firm believer in the literary development Of
the south, and an enthusiast regarding its
ssibilitieS.-Current Literature.

NfanniSh Women,

Many women now bet atrace meetings. and
though they have not yet gone tue length of
making their bets with the bookmalers per-
sonally, yet they get their friends to do so for
them, and look upon it as a serious matter of
business, and in many cases venture coDsd-
cradle sums. We do not, of course, refer to
those who, when they go casually to Ascot,
have small bets of two or three pounds on
some of the principal races, but to those who
make practice of attending the principal
meetings, such as Newmarket, EPSON, Kemp
ton, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool and
others Ascot, Sandown and Goodwood are
essentially ladies' gatherings, where most of
the ladies go more for social than racing pur-
poses; but those that attend the other meet
ings are increasing numerically, and in their
attention to business and when they take
to racing regularly are as q rule fond Of
gambling at cards, though the latter is by no
means new or modern amusement among
the votarieS of fashion. London Saturday

He Got II,

Among the passengers on estern train
yesterday was a woman very much over
dressed, accompanied by g bright looking
nurse girl and self willed, tyrannical boy
of about three years.
The boy aroused the Indignation Of the
passengers by his continual strieks and kicks
and screams and his viciousneSS toward his
patient nurse He tore her bonnet, scratched
her hands, and finally spat in her face with
out word of remonstrance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any firm
ness the mother chided her sharply. Finally
the mother composed herself for nap, and
about the time the boy had slapped the nurse
for the fifth time a wasp came sailing in and
flew on the window OF the nurses seat The
boy at once tried TO catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said coax
ingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug will bite
Harry"
Harry screamed savagey and began to kick
and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes or
lifting her head, cried out sharply:
"Why do you tease that child so, Marya
Let him have what he wants at once"
But ma'am, its al
LET him have it, | say"
Thus encouraged. Harry clutched at tho
wasp and caught it. The scream that fol-
lowed brought tears of joy to the passengers
eyes
The mother awoke again.
Mary she cried, ''let him have itl"
Mary turned in her seat and said confus-
eddy:
He's got it, ma'am.'-Boston Journal

ton and even sometimes undue limitation In
diet is the prevailing fashion. There is still,
however, considerable number of persons
who habitually overeat at meals, and to such
a few physiological hints may not be without
their value Dr. Eeudon has been at the
pains to make some careful Investigations on
the subject, and his results have recently
been published.
According to this observer, not uncom
mon consequence of overlooking is the de-
velopment of a series of symptoms in many
respects similar to those of typhoid fever.
The temperature rises, there is a feeling Of
serious illness, the sleep is disturbed, the
brain is incapacitated, and in severe cases
the disability is complete The cause Of these
symptoms is insufficient elimination and an
alteration in the blood brought about by the
impregnation of the organism with accumu-
lated waste products In addition to these
typhoid symptoms thrombosis occur in the
vessels, and what is known as spontaneous
gangrene, or modification of parts without
any obvious or sufficient cause.
Now, these are conditions Of very marked
danger, particularly the thrombosis and the
spontaneous gangrene. There Is danger to
life here The obvious remedy for such a
series Of evils is, Of course, rest for the over
worked digesting and eliminating organs.
Both the quantity and the quality Of the
food must be so changed as TO admit of the
performance of easy digestion, perfect as
Sanitation and adequate elimination Of waste.
Lemonades and lemon juice are said to be
of great service in diminishing the extreme
craving for food; and this, from limited
experience, we can to some extent confirm.
Milk, also, in moderate quantities is useful
and in certain cases skim milk would prob
ably be best. 1t is not always found that the
resting of the organs is sufficient. The fever
may persist for long time, and with it the
feeling of very decided illness. Drugs of diff
ferent kinds are then urgently demanded
and competent physician should be con-
suited without delay.-hospital.

keep accountsf And if they did study the
art at school they are not allowed the benefit
of putting what they learn into practice dur

them are encouraged to do it or have regular
allowances of money. A father of a large
family of daughters said that he did not give
his children allowances; he did not like the

boarders in his house; he preferred that they
should come to him when they wanted money
and ask for it. a very pretty sentiment, but

regular business way.

YES, and the ladies must be given credit
for having made valuable discovery. The

that have become stiff and uncomfortable by

in a short time the leather becomes as soft
and pliable as when it is taken from the

REV. AUGUSTA J. CHAPLIN.
One of the Most Prominent Women
Preachers in America.
fSpacial CorreSpOndenca


CHICAGO, Sept. 10-A pioneer among
women preachers, the Rev. Augusta Chaplin,
brought to her work, in the beginning, what
very few 'forerunners' possess, viz. exhaust
i've and fitting preparation. Her career has
been no accident. She possesses fine acquire
1nents, which she has gained by patient and
long continued study. Her scholarly attain
ments are such as have gained for her the
NJ A degree from the University Of Michi-
gan, and also high honorary degree from
Lombard university. In the latter institu
ton she occupied the position of lecturer on
English literature Miss Chaplin is also lect-
urer on American literature in the Detroit
School of Oratory and English Literature.
Inheriting from nature fine, even mas
terful mind, Miss Chaplin has been able to
avail herself of favorable conditions for cul-
tivating her talent along the line of scholarly
inclination and ability, and among modern
lights Of learning she may rightfully claim
place. Among the 165 women who are now
preaching in different parts Of the United
States, there is probably not one who is more
thoroughly the scholar than the Rev. Au-
gusta Chaplin She is well known as a lee
turer, and there are few women before tho
American public who equal her in forcefuI
elegance of diction or in earnest, fascinating
eloquence of delivery.
While not reformer in the usual accepta-
ton of the term, Miss Chaplin is yet deeply
Snd actively interested in all good work
She is ever found on the right side of all
questions a strong and faithful ally. Fer
especial interest IS in the line of education,
and she considers the elimination of igno-
rance as the absolutely necessary first step In
all reform.
There are now thirty-nine women preach
ers in the Universalist church. and Miss
