A woman's greatest mission in this world
is to help baby. Teaching baby to eat and
to walk and to talk. a rightly constituted
woman finds i'll these her happiest employ
ment; Too many women miss this happi-
ness because of their own ignorance or neg
lect. No woman should be ignorant of hor
own physical makeup. No woman has the
right TO neglect the health of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chill
dren. The Mosaic command to increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. 1t was the command of Jehovah
The woman who annuls it by neglect of her
womanly health commits n crime.

The thirst for knowledge once
aroused in a young mans bosom is a
potent force for the suppression of
base passions.
We often waste more energy in
the effort to avoid our duties than it
would take to discharge them.
The gravest moral dangers are
those that beset us when we are
least conscious of their presence.
The man who sets himself up as
the censor of his brethren had need
have spotless character.
A loose tongue can breed mis-
chiefs in one hour that cannot be
cured in a thousand years.
No amount of Sinking can free a
man from an obligation that God
has put upon him.
To meet one high-minded and
noble man is to be refreshed in
spirit for whole year.
What man is in his highest and
best moments, that he ought to be at
all times.
The essence of selfishness consists
in the determination to bave your
own way.
The last lesson which high and
stormy natures learn is the value of
gentleness.
1t is not a sin to be brilliant, nor a
virtue to be stupid.-Christian
Advocate.

INCLUDING the miners and the
pants makers alone, several thou
sand men and women are on a strike
for living wages, and these several
thousand, counting their dependents,
effect no less than an hundred thou
sand. Last week the Amoskeag
mills of Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, shut down, throwing into en-
forced idleaess, 5000 operatives, in
volving some 10000 or more people.
To these may be added some Is or
20 smaller shut downs in the last
ten days, and it is easy to figure that
some quarter of million of people
are feeding on the scant and un.
certain bread of Idleness, now, who,
even month ago, were at work.
And yet, because right here in
Maury county, the people have been
favored with a large wheat crop,
and because the garnering of that
crop has given temporary employ
ment to hundreds of men who in an
other weeks time will be idle again
because just now at the flush season
of the year at this particular place
the hitherto tension is just little
relaxed, men who ought to know
better will argue with an earnest
ness and zeal bordering on convic-
ton that times are actually grow
ing better. Hope springs eternal
in the human breast;" and hope, in
its place is good thing; but il is
foolish to indulge, and more than
that it is wicked to encourage a
false hope, in order to strengthen in
the public mind a fast fading and
altogether pernicious political doc
trine.

THE FIGHT Is OVER.
Yesterday Decided the Fate of a Con.
stituiiOnal Convention.
4 Light Vote Was POlled, and the Cen
eral Opinion is That the
Measure is Defeated.
MAURY COUNTY WILL GO FOR 1T.

The battle of the people for a
change in Tennessee's organic law
was determined yesterday at the
ballot-b box, but what that decision
was, cannot yet be ascertained. AT
our hour of going to press last night,
however, the general opiaiOn was
that the cause had suffered defeat
and that the ofIiceholders, corpora
tions and ring Republicans h ad
triumphed over the people.
In accordance with an amendment
to the Dortch law by the late Legis-
lature, the 9th district of this county
has been brought under the new
jurisdiction of that law. This was
something new to the voters at this
place, and its workings were quite
interesting. The voter received an
official ballot from the regis
trar on the outside of the court
house, and, after presenting it,
with his certificate of registration,
to the assistant registrar, who num-
bered the ballot and stub, he went
to one of the booths, where he pre-
pared his ballot by placing a cross
mani films Wy bafora on oftor IA q
line, For Convention, if
he favored calling the convention
or Against Convention" if he
was opposed to the call. The
booths were eight in number and
arranged, stall-like, in the court
house hall. The voter was required
to fold his ballot while in the booth,
then present it with his certificate
and poll tax receipt to the officers of
election. Only the voter himself is
allowed to be in the booth while
making out his ballot, and
the law makes it misdemeanOr
to let any person see his bal
lot or take it from him. This
law will be in force hereafter in this
district, and if any votes are bought
the purchaser will have to do so
with out the assurance that his
voter voted his way at all. This
makes it possible for a man who
sells his vote, to take the bride anC
then vote as be pleases, which
would only be serving the boodler as
he deserves.

THE GENERAL RESULT.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 5.-[Special to
the HERALD. "A light vote was
cast all over the State, so far as
heard from. In Davidson county
the vote will not exceed thousand,
with a small majority of these
for the convention. The re-
turns from the State indicate,
and the general opinion among the
knowing ones is, that the movement
is defeated by a small majority.
The result is closer than was antici-
pated by the enemies to the call,
and it is possible that the result
may yet be a surprise to them,
though that possibility seems to be
remote.

KIOndikers Not Wanted.

Many of the principal life and
accident insurance companies have
issued positive instruction to their
general agents in the United States
and Canada against assuming any
risks upon the lives of persons con-
templating a visit to the Klondlke.
These companies have found, so
they say, that the business of this
character is not a profitable one.
They fear that the great influx of
prospectors and persons totally I'M
accustomed to the extreme cold of
the Alaskan country would prove
too great burden for them.

HALF of the wheat crop of Maury
was sold at So cents and less; half of
the other half was sold at 20 cents
and less; most of the wheat now
changing hands is simply being
snapped between wheat gamblers.
Now and then you will find a farm
er who is lucky enough to have held
his wheat, but don't get it into your
head that the farmers, as a class,
are getting the benefit of these good
prices, for they are not. The mar
ket now is in the hands of the gam
blprs.
