An old darky was out yesterday per-
ambulating the streets with a stock of
fish for sale. Here's your fine fish,
said he. Buy from the old man who
has got nobody i'll the world except nine
children. A chord of sympathy in the
hearts of many was touched by the old
mans plant of loneliness, and he soon
had all of his fish disposed of.-Florida

Mirrors are usually silvered by coat
ing the glass with amalgam. For this
purpose large, perfectly fiat stone is
provided, and upon it is evenly spread a
sheet of tin foil without crack or flaw.
This is covered to the depth of one
eighth of an inch with clean mercury.
The plate of glass, perfectly cleaned
from all grease and impurity, is floated
on to the mercury by sliding, so as to
exclude all air bubbles. 1t is then
pressed down by loading it with
weights, i'll order to press out all the
mercury which remains fluid. This is
received in gutter around the stone.

Let Women BE Women.

Here is food for thought. However
much W. may desire TO shirk the ques.
ton, there is no doubt that woman is
not SO adorable in tweeds as chiffons
The more nearly she approaches man in
manners and dress the further is she re-
moved from an angel or the similitude
Of one. The tempestuous petticoat, the
billowing frills aud laces-or, i'm a nut
shell, the gewgaws Of feminine attire
have as much to do with her tyranny
over the stronger races as her virtues
end loveliness. and she knows her DOW
er. She enshrines herself in her dress,
which is to her what the setting is to
the jewel. But attire the woman in
trousers, vest and coat, and what a poor,
puny mortal she becomes! A thing you
despise, gentlemen, but arrayed in all
the monopoly Of fashion and finery she
appears as a being most Of you are ter.
ribly afraid Of. Well, we would rather
be afraid Of her than despise her. Let
her retain the similitude of an angel
rather than ape man in dress. -Holyoke

Memphis Women Organize.

A most remarkable meeting was held
q few weeks ago in the parlors of a fash
ionable hotel i'll Memphis. 1t was a
gathering of q considerable body Of the
city's leading women. socially and phil
anfhropically regarded, who had come
In response to a call for the women in
terested in furthering the manufactur-
ing interests of the city.
1t ended i'll the forming of q woman q
auxiliary to supplement the work Of
the Young Mems Business league.
Their motto is evidently to be loyal
to Memphis i'll every way and devoted
to her best interests. They undertake to
secure the Memphis trade for the Men,
phis manufacturer. Other things being
equal, the Memphis buyer is to be urged
to become q patron of the Memphis
maker.
Schemes for town Improvement have
already been undertaken, and the spirit
Of sincerity with which the matter has
been taken up is indicated in the pre-
siding cfiicer's-Mrs. William Ran
dolph-address, who cautioned her lis.
teners against the first enthusiasm,
which sometimes dies out, and urged
them to serious. persistent effort.
1t is significant that almost every
woman present was a clubwoman and
that Memphis is one Of the most -four
ishing Of women's club centers in the
south. This is right in line with the
work Of club women on every side.
They first organize, consolidate and try
their own abilities to acquire knowl-
edge and information. Then comes the
desire to apply their new found strength
in practical ways. Such is going to be
the constantly increasing character and
value of the work of women's clubs.

A Grave Questio. Decided.

l regret to see that tho powers who
adIndicate upon delicate questions Of
precedence appear to have definitely de-
oided that the Duchess of Coburg shall
be placed on the same footing as the
Princess of Wales. At the time of the
last ball ! commented ON the fact that
they entered abreast, but there was some
doubt as to whether it was by accident
or design. All doubts, however, We're
set 1t rest by the semiofficial announce
ment before the ball last Monday that
once more the princess and duchess
would enter side by side" This is q
concession that ought not to have been
made. and the Duchess Of Coburg should
have been relocated to back seat In
this country the princess should take
precedence Of every one save the queen
and not admit foreign royalties, how
ever aspiring or acrimonious, to rank

The fulsome eulogy so common in this

more difficult to set forth in proper terms
the virtues of such girl as Katie Carlisle.
The fear that, by those who did not know
her, we may be considered as falling into

Stricken three weeks ago with typhoid fever,
q disease which has robbed her parents OF
two other bright jewels, she fingered along
in this conflict with our common enemy
until about twenty minutes after o'clock,
Sunday morning, August 9Th, when her
pure and lovely spirit took its departure for
the home of the biest.
To those who knew her as | did there is
no need of word and from us as to her
beautiful, simple and childlike character,
shining out in every word and act of her
every day life No child has ever lived OF
died in this community who had more
friends, or whose friends were more warmly
attached to her. She was warm hearted and
genial, with sympathy that few girls Of
her age attain in this life. Everybody loved
Katie because she loved everybody. Every
body was kind and gentle to her because
she was gentle and kind toward all she met.
Her genuine, lovable life lives after her and
she will be better known when we meet her
In the better world.
Her remains were followed to their last
resting place by very large concourse Of
friends-the largest, with possibly one or
two exceptions, ever seen in this place
Among the number was the Juvenile Tenn

schools and public school of this place. 1t
was the saddest funeral | ever attended

the grieved loved ones-every one shed tears

better girls than Katie Carlisle.
To her loved mamma and papa, upon

pathy of friends, except in the best thought
that she has gone to that mansion prepared
for her in her Fathers house.
