The reason why woman is afraid Of a
mouse is profound mystery-indeed, it has
never been very clearly proven that she is.
But some women are constantly in such q
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause Of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, it may be due to Inflammation, ul-
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic yiscera, or to other organic LESSONS

The Death Bed Scene.

Four weeks ago while travelling on river
steamer he caug hit cold, and his condition be-
came so serious that his physicians refused
to allow him to return to his home In MIS-
sissippi. He was taken to the house OF his
friend J. u. Payne, in New Orleans. Mrs:
Davis was sent for and Immediately. joined
her husband and remained with him con-
stantly until the end.
From the beginning of his fatal illness Mr.
Davis insisted that his case was nearly or
quite hopeless though the dread of pain or
fear of death never appeared to take the
slightest hold upon his spirits, when were
buoysut from the beginning Of his attack.
At6 O'Clock in the evening previous to his
death. without any assignable cause, Mr.
Davis was seized with a congestive emil,
which seemed to crush the vitality out OF his
already enfeebled body. From that moment
until his death the history of his case was
that of gradual sinking. At o'clock Mrs.
Davis administered some medicine. but ne
declined to receive the whole dose. She urged
upon him the necessity of taking the re-
mainder, but putting 1t aside, he whispered:
pray, excuse me- :,
These were his last words. Gradually he
grew weaker and weaker, but never for all
instant seemed to lose consciousness Lying
peacefully upon his bed, and without q trace
of pain in his look, he remained for hours
Silently clasping and tenderly caressing his
wife's hand, he awaited the end: By ll:3O
o'clock there were assembled in the death
chamber Mrs. Davis, Drs. Chaille and Bick-
ham, Associate Justice and Mrs. Fenner,
Miss Mamie Smith, grand-niece of the dying
ex-President, ard Mr.. and Mrs. Z. H. Far
rar. -.
Finding that Mr. Davis was breathing
somewhat heavily as he lay upon his back, the
1octors eccjStad MIN TO turn upOn his right
side. With his cheek resting upon his right
hand, and with his left hand drooping across
his chest, he lay for fifteen minutes breath
ing softly but family. More and more feeble
became his respirations, till they ceased for
ever.
