The Corpse of Coniugal Love.

The corpse of conjugal love is an awful corpse. Not long ago married woman asked me for $1O. She said her husband had money, but she wouldn't ask him for dollar if she never got any. There is a corpse in that house. The husband is stingy and tyrannical, the wife is proud and sensitive; and so love got sick soon after the mar riage and fingered and languished and died. A man ought not to force his wife to ask him for money. It does humiliate woman. It makes her feel her helplessness, her dependence and smothers her equality. The husband ought to anticipate her wants if he is able. The money or the bank account ought to be at her disposal at all times, for she will spend less of it foolishly than he will A very considerate wife told me that it was her greatest trial to ask her husband for money, though he was always kind and never refused And suspect there is many a good wife who is humiliated in the same way.-Bin Arp in Atlanta Constitu- ton.

Cost of Paper. and Printing.

Here is book that was published in New York, but printed in St. Louis, and the funny thing about it is that the paper it was printed on was made in the east and shipped west. Hence freight was paid on the white paper out here and on the books back east. This is done constantly and the reason is singular. You can buy book paper of various grades 20 to 9 per cent. cheap CT for the western than for the eastern market, owing to the great competition Hence paper is delivered in St. Louis cheaper thar to warehouse five miles from the mill Printing here is cheap CT than in the east, and thrifty publish CTS save several thousands 8 year by their patronage of our printing housea
 St. Louis has nothing to complain oa in the matter, but the long rouod trip of first the paper and then the booka is remarkable, and shows how eompe
 ttion affects and benefits trade.-ln- terview in St. Louis Globe-Democzat.

many here from whose eyes the scales have already fallen. You see all sub jects and all things diffrently-God and Christ and eternity, and your own immortal spirit Sometimes the scales do not all fall at once.

A Squirrels Dangerous Perot


 Squirrels are more frequently seen in the heart of the business portion of Memphis than cats or dogs, and usually attract no moro attention from citizens than the feline or canine loafer. sStrangers of course gaze in wonder at the nimble little occupants of Court square, and occasionally a squirrel of a venturesome turn does something that arouses the interest of people who are accustomed to seeing them every day.
 There is one old fellow with a hand some tail who is 8 great traveller. He is rarely seen on the ground, preferring to run along the electric light wires, telephone cables and guys. Anything that is as large as lead pencil is good enough right of way for him. He gets his dinner at Fransiol's hotel, on the corner of Union and Second streets, three blocks from the square, and may be seen any fair evening about 6 o'clock vending his way along the wire to or from that hostelry. Some day he will get on two wires at once and start a circuit from a dynamo. Then he will dine no more.-Memphis Appeal.

Use of Cold Water.

Fresh cold water is a powerful ab- sorbent of gases. A bowl of water placed under the bed of the sick room and frequently changed is among the valuable aids in purifying the air. The room in which the London aldermen sit is purified by open vessels of water placed in different parts of the room. It can be costly inferred from this that water standing for any length of time in close room is unfit for drinking. It has frequently been observed that rest less and troubled sleep has been cor rected easily by placing an open vessel of water rear the head of tho bed Herald of Health.

Actors Need No Intellect.

M Got, the doyen of the French theatre, sheds some original light upon his profession. He says: "You ask me if comedian requires intellect in order to succeed. None whatever. would go even further, and say that the less intellect he has the better he will get on. Actors without intellectual heaven knows there are plenty of them rush forward without fear, full of self reliance, while if they were intel lect1al they would be continually afraid thatVk Heir interpretation of such and such character was wrong, and fear full of having made mistake would lose their confidence. Speaking broad ly, therefore, it is best that the actor should not be possessed of a great in tellect. Many artists are in exactly the same position. For my own part I know many sculptors and painters of real talent who outside their own line are as foolish as geese. ."-New York Sy1n

The Coral Industry.

The largest quantity and handsomest of the corals come from the Algerian coast. The coral grounds have been worked since the middle of the Six teenth century. Other coral grounds are situated off the coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Spain, the Balearics and Provence. More than 800 Italian barks and ever 4,20O persons are en- gagged in the coral fisheries. Beside these French and Spanish barks arc engaged in the same occupation.
 The Italian fishermen pay 8 high royalty to the French government for their right of fishing for coral on tho Algerian coast. There are more than sixty coral workshops in Italy, forty Of which are in the little town of Toers del Greco, at the foot of Vesuvius. These shops give employment to about 5000 persons, chiefly women and chfl+ dren.-Jewelers' Weekly.

Lee and his sIanderers.

Nashville American, May 30
Despite the rawlings of Col. Elliott
Shepard, the city of Richmond is
crowded with Southernsrs gathered
there TO witness the unwilling of the
Lee statue and do honor to the men,
DRY Of the peerless soldier and patriot.
What does it matter to the gray-haired
and battle-scarred veterans, to their
sons or to the noble women of the
South that small person, who, by a
lucky matrimonial venture, has at
tanned a position which makes his folly
notorious and his malignity conspic;
nous, is engaged in writing sloppy dia-
tribes against the fame Of the pure
patriot and stainless gentleman? The
feeble pens which flow with such cpl
thets as TRAITOR upon this occasion
will not write the epitaph OF Robert
Lee, nor the chapter in history which
will tell Of him. His fame is adamant,
and againstit the waves OF passion will
be beaten into foam, but leave no
mark. Upon the character OF the great
commander even the bitterness of sec
tional hate has seldom uttered re.
proach. 1t is only when malignity as
black as death has been joined with
folly as wild as lunaey that it has ever
dared to approach the grave of Lee
with q harsh epithet. BY that grave
every truo-born Southerner kneels in
love and reverence, and by it every
gentleman, every patriot, every man
who values nobility of soul among his
late adversaries stands with uncovered
head. Nothing that was not noble,
patriotic, unselfish and pure ever
touched the head or came near the
heart of Robert Lee. Who cares what
fools may rave, what knaves may
curse? The bones of Lee are safe from
the prowling jackals Of partisan
press About his tomb the veterans Of
the dead Confederacy stand guard,
and their sons are ready to relieve
them when their watch is over. No
traitor ever bore to his grave such love
as that which followed the dust Of Lee
or gathered about his monument such
multitudes Of the best and bravest
men, the best and truest women Of the
land. These will write his epitaph and
fix his place in history. When the
dust Of oblivion shall have settled deep
upon the names OF all the slanderers
OF the immortal hero when their
proudest monuments shall have crum-
bled and mixed with the dust; when
their words of detraotion, like their
memories, shall have rotted from the
earth, the fame OF Lee will tower like
an antique monument amid the rub
bish which surrounds it.
