can bankers Association.

Colonel James r.. Branch and wife have
lust returned from Atlanta, where they
attended the exposition and the Conven-

ton. This association is the strongest Of
the Kind in the world. being composed Of
about two thousand of the leading finan-
clers of this country, who meet annually
TO discuss and improve the financial az
fairs and conditions of the land.
It was owing to the Baltimore conven-
ton. and the suggestions made there last
wear. that different currency plans have
been suggested TO Congress, which will
probably prove Of great benefit. The
American Bankers Association also spare
no expense in tracking and convicting
any criminal who defrauds any of its
members. and within the last year have
put in the different penitentlaries TWEEN
ty-six noted criminals.
The Virginia bankers were remembered,

big New York city banks like the Ameri-
can Exchange National ana the National
Bank Of the Republic.
Colonel Branch says the people In At
lanta have great show, and are as hos
pitable as any In the world.

the nation that had no ideal never prog

Individual Communion Cups.
Rev Or. W. ". Landrum read quite
an interesting paper before the BAPTIST
Ministers Conference yesterday advo-
eating the use Of individual communion
cups in churches.
Dr. Landrum's idea is to have cups for
every person present at the communion
service. placed in the pews and filed
with wine. before the service commences.
He thinks the Lords Supper may he
rendered more solemn and beautiful by
the use Of individual cups. one Of the
strongest arguments he advances I'm favor
Of the innovation is the fact that many
people drinking out Of the same cup are
liable to scatter the germs OF disease
which any one OF them may have. and II
each and all have separate cups this dan

Why Jim Would Win.

tie match In addition, whereby the
winner will be the one who first reach
es a hundred by calling out a number
alternately which, when added to the
foregoing, Is no less than one and not
more than seven.
Now, Jim knows a thing or two, and
wins the match, and, moreover, he pre-
diets to Tom that he will surely win II
In spite of all that Tommy can do to
prevent 1t. Which numbers must Jim
name in succession to be sure to win
the game every time?
In this case, Tom begins with three.
The solution Is: Jim names every
time that 1t Is his turn the highest mum.
Der which can be divided by four not
by eight. No matter what number Tom
names, keeping within the range Of
seven upward from Jim's number, jim
follows up with say four tom having
begun with three, twelve, twenty,
twenty eight, thirty-slx, and so on up
to nlnety-two. Now Tom Is compelled
to name number within range Of
ninety-three to ninety-nine, and 1t is,
of course, Jim's turn to say one hun

Three Stages.

Physicians tell us that most people
die prematureIy through needless Elk
posture to injuries such as infection
improper food, excessive drinking, i'm.
pure air. dirt of various kinds, expos,
ure, accidents, unhealthy occupations
improper clothing, and so on. The three
stages in the journey in life are, first
growth, from one to twenty-five; second
maturity, from twenty-siX to fifty;
third, decline, from fifty-one to seventy
five. A large majority Of the race are
constructed to live from seventy to
eighty years. Most men in the second
stage Of life eat too much If they can
afford 1t. The best time for marriage
is not less than ten years before the
summit Of life's journey, which in men
is about forty, in women thirty-fve,
At forty and after great attention
should be paid to maintaining the
same body weight, any great increase
or decrease being dangerous. Exercise
and diet can do this to some extent, for
exercise till man perspires decreases
weight; if only till he is warmed, it in

what One Woman Says.

II is curious and interesting ut any
summer resort or other gathering Of
intelligent women to see the general
profound Indifference to politlcs-to
any news OF the day, however, oxcit-
Ing, which relates to the affairs Of the
nation. Still more coalous is 1t to OBJ
serve, on questioning ardent female
suffragists how little they know
about the great question Of the hour.
They generally say, "Oh, both parties
are terribly corrupt but when women
vote politics will be purified VIII IT,?
Are not women also possessed of moral
inHrmitles? VIII not many women
sell their votes, bargain for office, In
trigue, combine with others for selfish
ends? Where there is no temptation,
there Is no sin; but when power comes,
and with 1t temptation, shall we find
that God has created one sex good"
the other "bad"? All, no; women are
Ike men, of the same time and race,
only their pursuits, occupations, and
habits of life differ; their sphere Is
domestic, their intercourse with the
world far more limited. They now
have power to do far more by influence
in public matters, by an intelligent in
terest In schools, hospitals aims
houses, than they exercise, and 1t is
lamentable that 50 few women care
how the public charities Of their own
towns are managed There is no good
reason to think that the right of suff-
rage will increase that interest. A

men and women both to care for the

The Women of Ushnnt.

In character the headdress is more
Italian than Breton. The Golf is small
and square-shaped, with wide flap
hanging down behind, and it is white
when the wearer considers herself
dressed and not in mourning. Bright
colors, chiefly scar OF and blue, are
often introduced at the side of the
head, especially in the case OF chill
dren. But the strong singularity of
the couture is the manner in which
the hair is worn 1t hangs loose upon
the back of the neck to the length Of
six or eight inches.
The first impression the women
make is that they are recovering from
fever and cropping Their hair is
generally lank and wiry, like horses
name, and very dark. 1t is rare to see
it really gray, even on the head of a
very old wo an. The short and thick
locks are often without silver thread,
although the face of the wearer may
be as furrowed as block of sea-worm
granite. Baby girls, young women,
and old women have their heads
dressed in exactly the same way.
After her swaddling wraps, the child
is given the style Of coli and other
clothing that she will keep through
