A Public Road Law.
Clarksville Leaf Chronicle.

GAINESVILLE Leaf Chronicle.
Judge Tyler was called to Nash
Vile Monday by the committee
charged with the duty of perfecting
a road law. The committee wanted
to know the details and practical
workings of the Jail and work-house
system, in Montgomery county.
Judge Caldwell, of Davidson, was
also before the committe, and all
labOred together earnestly to devise
the best possible general system for IA
road and wOrk-house law for the
State, and after thorough discussion
of all the plans presented in different
bills, the committee unanimously
adopted the Montgomery county sys-
tenn, all interested parties approving
it, and new bill, embracing this
system will be introduced in both
houses at the same time and will no
doubt pass. This bill, as we under
stand, provides for a general work
house system for every county in the
State and a Communication of short
penitentiary sentences to the work.
house with provisions for employing
such criminals so convicted, on pub
lie roads. The system has worked
splendidly in this county, much good
has been accomplished under it,
though imperfect and limited in its
operations. The new bill, if it be-
comes a law, will have a wider scope,
adapted to the wants of the whole
State and will greatly lessen the
number Of convicts in the peniten-
tiary, working reforms that will be
creditable to the State and ecOn0mi-
cal to the public,

EMBARRASSING IGNORANCE.
A Lack of knowledge in Carving often
Results In Trouble,

A Lack of knowledge in Carving often
Results In Trouble.
One of the most necessary appulten-
anccs of the dinner table is host who
knows how to carve. Is there any
greater annoyance than host who
struggles, crimson with effort to dis
joint poultry, tearing the frame to
pieces, and spreading bits and frag-
ments all about on the cover? 1t should
be a part of every boys education to
learn to carve. We are so busy training
girls for their future positions, which
meanspot only self-support or a fitting
for it, but also a training in the social
graces, and the necessary knowledge of
household economy, that tive never think
of doing more for our boys socially than
sending them to dancing school and
giving them the natural training in the
home; we leave them to acquire any
further knowledge by attrition or alb
sorption.
A recent writer to prominent jour
nal says that he believes the lack of the
knowledge of carving has been the
cause of more conjugal disputes than
any other one subject. The social train
ing of the wife making her sensitive to
the comfort of her guests, and sensi-
tive to the fitness of things in the
family life, the lack of this very neces-
sary knowledge is a constant source of
irritation. There comes to mind a no.
bic gentleman. of Welsh descent. who
never had large income, but who
trained all his sons and daughters to
carve, and when they went into homes
of their own they could serve a dinner,
with the aid of one servant, with the
ease and quiet of house with butler
and aids. Who of us has not sat al
table, at some time, where the struggle
of the host with the carving suggested
the idea that presently he would ask il
he might remove his coat? 1t is fan
better, when the host has not this
knowledge, to have the carving done
outside, in buffers pantry or the kitch
en-. 1t saves embarrassment, and wher
once the servant is trained to serving
from a sideboard, the ease and comfor
that follow are ample reward for the
effort expended in teaching her.
Every wife who has been embarass
ed by her husbands awkwardness O.
ignorance in this important function
should have a strong incentive to hav,
her boys trained to carve fish, flesh O
fowl, ;" with ease of body and mind

The Effects of n Chestnut.

Remember boys" said the new

After that he paused to observe the

Scare.
An Englewood man was badly fright
ened the other day. He had been TO
Springfield to participate in the festivi-
ties attendant on the opening of the
Legislature since the previous Sunday
night, and although he thinks the world
of his family had been so busy having
good time that he had not written
since he left home. Last Thursday
morning he came in on the Wabash
train and hurried along SiXty-third
street as fast as he could to get kiss
from his wife and little cues, AS he
neared his home nc emitted an eXclama-
ton of surprise.
my God! What is thatP" and his eyes
were riveted on some black object hang
ing on the front door. Then he came
to his senses and hurried along all the
faster.
'Is that Grape on the door?" he
thought. "Is there some one dead?
Why didn't they telegraph to me? My
wife! Oh, she can't be deadH' and the
poor fellow rushed up the porch with
his hands over his eyes, He couldn't
bear to look at the awful black Grape.
He rang the bell and very nearly pulled
it out of the house, and then he saw
that the Grape on the door was nothing
more than an umbrella, which had been
hung on the door knob the night before
by his wife because it was drip
ping with rain. She had forgotten to
take it in, and it had hung on the door
knob all night. He was mad and glad
all at the same moment, but he yanked
the umbrella from the door and threw
it into the street, His wife had a big
laugh at him and then went out and
saved the Enthusiastically Sun.

A woman who ought to know de-
clares that the following outfit is all
that is necessary for round-the-world
tourist of the gentler sex: A light mack
intosh that will stand hot climates a
dust cloak, a traveling-hood, and plenty
of wraps. Three hats for the steamer
will not be too much, as they soon get
to look shabby and travel-stained. A
soft black silk that will pack into a
small compass, and does not easily
crease, will be useful as a change for
dinner, with some silk blouseS or
theater-waists to vary it. A neat
tailor-made dress for the voyage, a
jacket and an ulster are needed, and
also two or three cool dresses. Wash
ing silks are more desirable than cotton
or zephyrs, as dampness does not affect
their appearance. Furs are not only
in the way, but a boa often proves use
full. For inland, a couple of ball
dresses for evening receptions, also one
for fetes and theaters; a riding habit, a
stylish silk dress, a home-spun and an
embroidered cambria or two. A deal
case lined with tin, to contain the best
dresses; a strong box for linen boots,
Shoes books and odds and ends, two
regulation portmanteaus, one for the
light weight, the other with the heavier
articles of apparel, besides Gladstone
bag and wrapper, ought to suffice a
lady tourist for journey of many
months over land and and sea.-N Y.

Foul Murder at Memphis.

David II. Poston, one of the lead.
ing attorneys of Memphis, popular
and useful citizen, was shot down on
Main Street in that city Tuesday
morning, by Col, II. Clay King, who
is also a prominent lawyer at the
Memphis bar. King placed the pis-
toll within few inches of Poston's
body, and fired without giving Pos
ton any warning whatever. The
trouble grew out of a law suit, and
King had also been drinking heavily.
The wounded man cannot recover,
and is probably dead before this is
put in type. King surrendered to a
deputy sheriff, and was placed in
jail. An extra guard had to be plac'
ed around the Jail to prevent his
being lynched. POston died on the
following day.

Long cloaks have decidedly won the
battle over the stout opposition that
was shown to them at the beginning of
the season. A long cloak for winter is
a logical necessity. But it is neither
necessary nor logical to wear hand
some visiting toilette, and have it COM
pletely hidden from view under long
wrap. To escape from this dilemma
long cloaks are made of various kinds.
There is first the indispensable morn
ing cloak, very simply made of some
substantial wooden. For those who
prefer long wrap for making ceremo-
NOUS calls there are rich wraps of fig
ured velvet or plush with superb passe-
menteries, or of armure silk handsome
ly embroidered. These in a measure
take the place of the dress, and can be
worn over a comparatively simple one
Between these two extremes are long
cloaks of cloth. made much like dress,
with tight-ftting corsage, high collar,
large sleeves with deep cuffs, and a
basque belt of passementerie; these are
worn for informal visits to ones friends
! between two and four o'clock, and for
similar occasions. -Harpers Bazaar.
