Do Not Discuss Irritating Subjects At
the Dinner Table.
Why is it that in most households the
dinner table becomes dumping ground
tor the wholesale plants of its MEM
bers? Probably because this is the only
meal of the day when the entire family
meet together, each one feels it duty
to air a few personal grievances in
order to seek consolation from the
others.
Out of Difference to digestion, if for
40 other reason, dinner table CONVERSE
ton should be of the spiciest, but this
TACT is lost sight of in the general de-
sire for everybody, from papa down to
the youngsters, to serve up only those
topics which have married, rather than
made the days happiness.
Hardly has the man of the house fin
ished his carving duties before he falls
Into an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed, bills grumbled over and the
cost Of living recalculated with tedious
regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
woes. The days errors below stairs are
minutely recorded. She signs over
Bridget's butter waste, declares that the
butchers indifference to her order is
becoming intolerable, and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little tar
get for family flaw picking) comes In
for his share of criticism. His failures
at school are relentlessly raked up and
all sorts of punishments threatened un-
less there is speedy reform.

The Battle Abbey Of the South
BY vAR1NA ANNE JEFFERSON DAVIS.

BY NAR1NA ANNE JEFFERSON DAVIS.
LFrom Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.l
Nearly thirty years ago man wan
dered into the city of New York.
He was a medium-sized, spare built
fellow, whose keen face and blue
eyes marked him as personality in
spite of his poor dress. He was
wayworn and war weary, for it had
not been many months since he rode
to his last charge with Rosser's
Black Horse Cavalry, and acquitted
himself in such n fashion that he at
tracted the attention of his comman-
der, even among the band of soldiers
whose every private was a hero, 1t
may be fairly said that, if every
soldier of France carried marshal's
baton in his wallet, every Confeder-
ate private had bero's laurels hid
den in his haversack.
1t was one of these heroes, still
deafened by the crash of battle, who
had picked up the burden of his
broken life and come to New York to
make his fortune or be married by
circumstance.
This man did not belong TO the
landed aristocracy of the South his
had been a practical life and had
been lived in an atmosphere of hard
labor, but for all that, ideals of pat
riotism and liberty burnt as brightly
within him as in the hearts of those
great gentlemen, who had more to
lose. Although Mr.. Rouss was only
private, he had staked his all in the
cause of State rights and lost it along
with the army of comrades for whom
he cherished an abiding devotion.
There was never a war fought for
liberty in which all the contestants
wore silk stockings, and the Confed-
eracy was no exception to the rule.
Charles B. Rouss was, and is, per-
son of distinct individuality, and
this personal equation he introduced
into his business life with marked

A tinware peddler called one day
On Mrs. Blank OF Dallas
And introduced himself, they say.
As Raphael Gonzales.
He showed patent coffee-pot
Which took her eye completely;
1t boiled the coffee stroug and hot,
The grounds 1t settled neatly.
:. How much for this new-fangled pOt7
think I'd like to try it,
'' As it's the last one of the lot,
Two dollars, ma'am, will buy it,"
When Mr.. Blank at home that night
Sat by the stove a-yawning
His good wife brought into the light
Her purchase of the morning.
Now Mr.. Blank, the story goes,
Sold hardware-stovef, tin dippers,
Spades, shovcls. axes. wedding hoes,
And also coffee drippers.
So when his good wife told him how
Don Raphael Gonzales

=" Your statement right now refute-

Great land of rest ~ the lady cries,
'' Arc these kept in your store, sir?
Why do you fail to advertise
And let the people know, sir?
"How will they ever find out, pray,
If you will never try, sir,
To bring the patronage your way,
As does the advertiser ?"
" You're right. my dear" Blank made reply,
IL know you're not surmisiug,
I'd just as well attempt to fly
As sell 'thout advertising"
And now Blanks trade is growing fast,
Way up in wealth he's rising,
Since through his wife he found at last
The good of advertising.

Some people think money is a greater
power than love. OH What mistake
See how the great money kings are con-
trolled by the little boy Cupid See how
the great soldiers and men of power are
twisted around his little fingers
A woman's most precious possession is
the capacity for awakening pure and noble
love. More potent than wit OF intellect is
the womanly capacity for happy wifehood
and motherhood
A woman who is weak or diseased in tie

the power and prestige which naturally be-
long to her. Such troubles are not a ne
cessity Perfect health and strength of the
feminine organism is insured by proper
care and the aids afforded by enlightened
