woman aud tho Net,.pAlist.

To study woman from geological standpoint may seem distasteful, as lacking Ill sentiment, but it is probably tue only rational method. Dr. ". K. Brooks of tho Johns Hopkins university discusses the conditions of the woman in the past;
 Primitive man was no doubt all ugly. feroa ;ous brute, but there IS evidence that primitive woman admired his fe- roeity and was quite ready to abandon him aud follow more ferooious brute with resignation and even with exulta- ton. If the woman of the heroic age was in constant dauger of Iifeipng slav- cry under eovatous and ahlebodied neighbors, her menfolk were, according to the Odyssey, in no less danger Of furnishing bloody meal for dogs Any delicate and refined woman of today would find the common life of woman of the dark ages uncomfortable. The women of the dark ages were not over refined, nor, for that matter were those in the time of good Queen Bess, and the life of either of those periods would be misery and wretchedness to the men of the nineteenth century az well as to the women.
 Those who talk of the subjeetion of woman to mans dominion, and her emancipation from his tyranny, forget that during historical times the whole human race has improved i'll the virtues of self restraint and humanity, and that, even if there has as yet been no material progress in disinterestedness, selfishness bas unquestionably become more enlightened and broad minded. In stead of being something wrested from hard hearted man, the improvement of the condition of woman is only one as- pect of that progress which benefits all --the young, the mature, tho aged wop,en and men alike. Man has not de- liberately worked out his destiny. He has been shaped and controlled by influ, enees of which he has been for the most part totally ignorant-infuences which are purely natural, shining like the sun on the evil and the good, and descend- ing like rain on the just and the unjust and woman like man. has had her para in tho whole history of cur race.

The Plausible Lfe.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy and treaehery because they harm us, not be- cause they are untrue. Take the detrae. tion and the mischief from the untruth, and we are little offended by it. Turn 1t into praise, and we may be pleased with it. Aid yet it is no5 5calumny and treachery that do the largest sum of mischief in the world. They are contin. ually crushed and arc fsltallalfsss isi i,s being 's.esaeie6cTe6. But it is the glistening and softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy. the patriotic lie of the historian, the provident lie of the politician. the zeal ous lie of inc partisan, the mereiful lie of tho friend and the careless lie Of each man to himself that cast that black mystery over humanity through which we thank any man who pierees, as We woula thanls one who dug a well in | desert. Happy that the thirst for truth remains with ns even when we have willfully left the fountains of it John Ruskin.

Kattio Sister of she Nation.

One of the most intersting personali. ties which the national congress of mothers brought to New York recently was that Of Miss Janet Richards of Washington. Little Sister of the Ma tion would far more accurately de. scribe Miss Richards peculiar form Of activity. Her special province is what she calls Hilltop Talks of the World. :"
 1t is not in the sense of mothering her listeners that she talks; it is merely as an enthusiastic leader, i'll mental jaunt over our civilization, noting salient facts ''All questions of international conflict are primarily questions of geog- raphy" is her maxim. Congressional affairs come under her broad review, and senators wives are of those who peep at congress through the medium of her bright discourse
 When Li Hung Chang consented to re. ceiye Miss Richards and, after his habit, exhibited a determination to interview rather than be interviewed, the clever little woman aroused his curiosity by offering to tell him why 80 many Amer. ican women remained unmarried
 "Why!' demanded his Chinese high. ness.
 For one reason. replied Miss Rich ards, they have so many other re. sources. But the main cause is that they are rarely asked to marry by men who are their equals in intelligence. D

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE
CALLED DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night 1t steals in upon us
unawares. The patients have pains about
the chest and sides, and sometimes In the
back They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth
has a bad taste, especially in the morning.
A sort Of sticky slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor. There is feel
ing like a heavy load on the stomach;
sometimes a faint. all-gone sensation at
the pit Of the stomach which food does not
satisfy. Eyes are sunken, the hands and
feet become cold and feel clammy. After
awhile a cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attended with
greenish coored expectoration. The pa
tient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any rest After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirlng sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become cOstiVe: the skin is dry
and hot at times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the eyes be-
come tinged with yellow; the urine is scan
ty and high colored, depositing a sedi-
ment after standing. There is frequently
a splitting up of the food, sometimes with
a sour taste and sometimes with a sweet
ish taste; this is frequently attended with
palpitation of the heart; the vision be-
comes impaired with spots before the eyes;
there is a feeling of great prostration and
weakness All of these symptoms are in
turn present. 1t is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease in
some of it's varied forms 1t has been found
that medical men have mistaken the nat
ure, of this disease Some have treated it
for a Liver Complaint, some for Dyspep-
STA, others for Kidney Disease, etc, but
none of the various kinds of treatment
have been attended with success.
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten to be digested. This
will cause an appetite for more food,
and this being digested will result in an
increase of strength, an increase of flesh
and an increase of nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give way
to Vigor and courage. The pale, thin and
emaciated will recover their color and
plumpness, because red blood and fat are
the result of properly digested food.
A ten-cent trial bottle will produce re-
suit. Its good effect will be realized at
once. You will not have TO take a dozen
bottles to find out if it is doing you any
good. Try it, and then give praise to the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, New York
for the relief that you obtain.

those long-legged old chumps who used
to wade in the marshes around Fort Dear

Bolton gave a long, low whistle. Then,
bracing his feet against the steam radia-
tor, he leaned back and sighed:

doggedly.

free-lunch cheeses of to-day. An Indian
wouldn't think of trying to batter it down.
So just as long as those fellows stayed

who was at that moment wiping blood

dead face, for he had compelled a man
named Riddle to make her his wife, and
she liked him, repulsed Charley and
knocked him down. He arose and putting
his foot on my fathers neck, cutting two
long gashes in the top Of the scalp, was
about to tear it off. Then Tobey resort ed
to strategy. She told the bloodthirsty
savage that two soldiers were coming, and
he abandoned his bloody work. The fact
that my fathers head was almost bald

removed with safety he was taken to Sa-
lem. He was a pitiable sight at this time.
When he departed on that mission he was
a giant in strength, and weighed fully zoo
pounds. There was a marvellous differ
ence in him when he returned. His face
and head were fearfully mutilated and his
nose was turned 10 one side by one of
the bullets. He was reduced, too to a
mere skeleton. 1t is true that he lived
for some nine years after that terrible
day, but he was never the same man

effects of the many wounds that he re.

Application for receiver and injunction
was filed by the creditors of the Dixie
Lumber and Manufacturing Company at
Atlanta Saturday, and Judge Lumpkin
granted an order restraining the defend
ants from further encumbering the stock
or changing the status of the business
and setting the case for a hearing be-
fore him In chambers on next Saturday.
The Dixie Lumber and Manufacturing
Company filed two mortgages in the SUI
perior court, which precipitated affairs.
The mortgages, which were signed by
John Cooper president, and c. B. Nc
Gaughey, manager, were in favor of John
S. Cooper in the sum of $S,759.SS and to
Rosser & Carter, the company's attorneys,
in the sum of 5000. The application for re-
ceiver and injunction was filed by Attor-
ney Walter r. Brown, representing Smith
& Simpson and other creditors in various
sums amounting to about 5000. Judge
Lumpkin will hear argument in the case
Saturday, at which time the defendants
are to show cause why the receiver should
not be granted as prayed for and why the
Injunction should not be made permanent.
