Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-05-20

How many ladies know that the sweet
odors with which they love to surround
themselves are really stimulating and re
reshing-lavcndcr and lemon that our
grandmothers folded away in chests of
linen, roses and viOlets that breathe in
gentle fragrance from every fold and frill
of sweet woman's habilments today, even
the homely scents of sage ana benzine.
There is an occasional grumbler who, for
want of something else TO critcise, pro-
fesses an aversion to this perfume habit
among women, and dcscants learnedly on
the superattraction of well bathed natures
own fragrance emanating from clearly
person clothed in fresh linen.
But the grumbler doesn't understand
that the faint, delicate fragrance of per
fume is the sign manual Of perfect cleanli-
ness. Sweet odOrs, like fresh flowers, fade
swiftly when brought in proximity with a
person which, from disease or carelessness,
emits any poisonous yapors. So the next
time you meet a lady with that faint in
toXicating fragrance lingering in her gar
ments you may know for a certainty that
the cleanliness that is next to godliness is
the basis and beginning of the fragrance
that delights you.--New York Sun.

Conversation demands knowledge, and
to say it could never have been carried very
far without books is but to say it could not
have fiourished without record of the
best, and, it must be said, the worst, which
men have done, thought and imagined.
For us, of course, it is impossible to imag-
Inc life without such u record. Society has
been called ga strong solution of books"
Science and letters agree in representa-
tons OF life without literature as life in
which, not conversation, but coarser pleas
ures played the chief part,
What conversation would be possible
among the degraded Australian savages,
referred to by Darwin, who use very few
abstract words and cannot count above
fourp Even the early Greeks themselves
preferred good living. Feasting with music
is declared by Ulysses the "fairest thing in
the world" Conversation and literature
have grown up together, and, like the
"love BIRDS" we cannot have one without
the other. Nosustained conversation goes
far without some aid from books, no witty
conversation would be ineligible without
knowledge Of them

salesrIrIs and Unions.

With the approach of warm weather the
subject Of the health of the girls employed
as saleswomen in the many stores through
out the country comes up afresh. There
are many mercantile firms which are very
considerate in the treatment Of their girls.
The atmosphere of the store itself is in no
way unhealthy in any section. Attention
has been given to the ventilation and sani-
tary condition of every floor. Seats are
provided behind the counters for the girls
use when not employed in waiting on GUS
toners. They are treated kindly, and floor
walkers understand quite well that no
abuse on their part will be tolerated.
Courtesy is shown everywhere and expect
ed in return.
In fact, in Brooklyn there is one store
where the head of the firm tries to know
personally all the employees in his store
that have been there any length Of time,
their homes and something of their history
and home life. They themselves feel that
he is interested in their welfare and will.
ing to add everything in his power for
their comfort and health. New ones com
ing into the store are spoken to pleasantly
and encouraged to feel that If they do well
and deserve advancement or increase Of
pay, both will be granted.
Now and then there are stores whose i'm
pure air on entering is very disagreeable,
whose easements are low, dark, stuffy
places, unfit for saleswomen and shoppers
but these are not the rule. Frequently
too, complaints are made from girls in diff
ferent quarters that they are not expected
to sit down; that, while they know that a
law has been passed that seats shall be pro
vided for them, though one or two of these
seats can be seen behind the counters, just
enough to cover the law, they know all the
same that the unwritten law of the store
is that they shall not sit down, and they
say they dare not complain for fear of los
ing their places.
This makes the question of seats or no
seats one of the most common with which
the Working Women's Protection union
has to deal. OF course the enforcement of
the law passed in 1881 lies with the factory
inspectors, but If girls dare not complain
to them they can do nothing For this
reason girls are urged TO join some one of
the working girls clubs, where they can
gain more accurate information of their
rights and what means to use to gain them

tine gay, the prominence Tney nave as
sumed and the necessity of the church
dealing with them, and the third party
laying down the policy which the church
adopts on these questions.
After refuting the Socialist theories
tending to abolish private property and
upholding the principles Of the church
as the first and main element in the solu-
ton of social questions, his holiness
says that the true solution can be found
in the gospel, which, if rightly stated,
would teach employers and the EN-
ployed to become united while fulfilling
their respective duties, and that the state
should intervene to regulate disputes in
regard to private property in order to in
sure the public peace and the moral and
mutual welfare of the working people.
His holiness comments upon the neces-
sity of Sunday rest; deals with the ques-
ton of strikes, wages and hours of labor
for workmen, women and children, and
dilates upon the good results of working
mems associations, including mutual aid
and accident insurance societies, sick
funds, classes for technical education
and mixed associations Of employers and
employees. The state, says the pope,
ought to countenance all such institu-
tiCns as are likely to improve the exist
ing social conditions, and his holiness
urges all Catholics to assist in their
formation

know Of no religious spectacle more i'm
pressive than that of a barefooted Turk
Gtanding erect on his prayer rug, with his
face toward Mecca and his eyes looking
straight into the eyes of his god. 1t is not
duty with him, nor formality, nor the
maintenance of a time honored custom. It
is his very life. Watch him as he enters
this wretched interior OF Bania- bashie,
with its scaling and crumbling walls and
its broken windows, through which the
doves fly in and out. Outside, at the trick
ling fountain, he has washed his feet and
face and hands, bathing his throat and
smoothing his beard with his wet fingers.
He is a rough, broad shouldered, poorly
clad man in fez and shirt, his waist girt
with u wide sash ragged and torn. He is
perhaps mammal" a man who carries
great weights on his back-a human beast
of burden. His load, whatever it may be,
is outside in the court. His hourly task is
his daily bread; but he has heard the shrill
cry from the minaret up against the sky
and stops instantly to obey.
He enters the sacred building with his
shoes in his hands. These he leaves at the
edge of the mat. Now he is on holy ground
Advancing slowly, he halts half way across
the floor and then stands erect. Before
him is blank wall; beyond it the tomb OF
the prophet. For a moment he is perfectly
still, his eyes losed, his lips motionless. 1t
is as if he stood in the antechamber of
heaven, awaiting the recognition. Then
his face lights up. He has been seen.
The next instant he is on his knees, and,
stretching out his hands, prostrates him
self, his forehead pressed to the floor. This
solitary service continues for an hour The
man standserect one moment, with move
ment as if he said, Command me; am
here" The next moment he is PROSTATE
in obedience. Then he backs slowly out,
and, noiseess, regains his shoes, bends his
back to his burden and keeps on his way,
his face having lost all its tired, hunted
look.-F. Hopknson Smith in Century.

A. FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
Can Certificates BE Issued by the TreasuI
on Silver Gained by SeIgniorage?

Can Certificates BE Issued by the Treasury
on Silver Gained by seigniorage?
WASHINGTON, May @.-An interesting
question has arisen at the treasury de-
partment ir connection with the present
silver law, which authorized the secre-
tary of the treasury to purchase 1900, 900
ounces of silver each month and to issue
treasury notes thereon. The treasury
notes thus far issued on the bullion pur-
chased under the act aggregate $43,-
552, 900.
The department coins 100000 stand
ard silver dollars, and the law says that
any gain or seigniorage arising from such
coinage shall be accounted for and paid
into the treasury. Under this law the
government has gained by seigniorage
81, $4,000 The question that now CON
fronts the secretary is whether or not he
can under any circumstances issue silver
certificates against this amount.

now settled fact that ex-President and

disappointment of the residents of

would agar spend the summer there.
Mrs. Cleveland, who recently made a

that she several times announced her in
