them would develop into useful t.
Zens.
Prison Aid Association.-The
most critical period in a prisoners
life is the first mouth after leaving
prison. From December /, 1894, to
December 1, 1896, l,34l men were
discharged from the penitentiary.
This does not take account of the
great army of men and boys who go
out from jails and warehouses.
They were given a suit of clothes
and ticket to the point from which
they were sent up. If they got a
meals victuals, some friend fur
nished the money to pay for it or
they begged or stole it; many, no
doubt, did the latter. know, from
personal experience with discharged
prisoners, that a large number of
these men can be kept from return
ing to criminal life by proper at
tentiOn. A Prison Aid Association,
working in connection with the
Board of State Charities, the pro-
posed Reform School for Boys"
and the educational and religious
work which ~ being inaugurated,
would eliminate large percentage
of our criminal class. The best
economy to the State is to make a
liberal appropriation for these pur-
poses. If 81, 1925 can be paid in
one year for the single item of to-
bacco, why can We not have an
adequate appropriation for educa-
tiOnal purposes and reformatory
work?
Religious iSerUices.-During my
first year as Chaplain of the Main
Prison, where an average of 800 men
were confined, about 200 professed
conversion and 100 applied for
church membership. During last
month over 80 were converted and
40 applied for church membership.
Among these were many from the
best element of the prison popula-
ton. Much yet remains to be done.
Only Is per cent of the entire num-
Der when brought to the penitentiary
were members of any church, and a
large part of these were converted
in Jail.
Fifty iails are reported as having
no religious services on Sunday.
Twenty five have regular services
eleven have services occasionally.
Each of the branch prisons has a
Chaplain, who conducts services
every Sabbath.
1 wish to say here that these
statements are not intended as re-
Election on any prison official. The
figures were taken from statistics
compiled by Mr.. s. A. Mitchell,
Prison Clerk.
am persuaded that all we need
to secure the correction of these
evils is a proper presentation of
them to the people and the Legis-
lature. Our magnificent and we'll
equipped new penitentiary is a
credit to the State, and will aid
materially in solving the problem of
prison reform.

WHAT Is FILTRATION?

What is Irritation? Really
How can tell you that?
But when she smiles / see its wiles,
And when he lifts his hat.
IT'S walking in the moonlight,
TITS buttoning on a glove;
IT'S lips that speak of plays next
week,
While eyes are talking love.
IT'S meeting in the ballroom,
'Tis whirling in the dance,
IT'S something hid beneath the lid,
More than simple glance.
IT'S lingering in the hallway,
IT'S sitting on the stair,
IT'S bearded lips on finger tips,
If mamma isn't there.
IT'S tucking in the carriage,
'Tis asking for call,
IT'S long good-nights in tender
lights,
And that is-nO, not all!
IT'S parting when its over,
And one goes home to sleep;
Best joys must end tra-la my friend
But one goes home to weep!

are mixed with silk in stripes and
checks, which makes them very
rich in effect.
Vests of all sorts, plain and full,
are being introduced into the fronts
of gowns, but those that are much
embroidered evidently have the
preference.
The Russian blouse craze has
given tremendous boom to jewelled
girdles, belts and buckles. When
price is no object, these are Access
series enriched with gems.
The black satin skirt with a fancy
waist, to be worn on semi dress
occasions, promises to outlive the
winter.
Sleeves continue small, and the
new dress skirts vary in width from
three and three-quarters to four and
half yards around. They are
made with almost 20 stiffening at
the bottom.
There is bountiful crop of clover
leaf jewelry. The lucky clover is
inclosed in crystal, which is set in a
rim of gold or silver and forms a
brooch, garter buckle, locket, or
ball trinket.
Sashes are to be worn of varying
widths and textures, knOtted, Topped
or left plain and falling to the hem of
the skirt. This announcement,
made in the New York Sun, is fol-
lowed by description of sashes
that have already appeared. Some
are of heavy marie; others are of
satin or Roman striped silk. Many
OF the sashes are edged with plait-
ings of net or lace.

NOVEMBER.

A stately figure walking through the
wood;
Her features faded in her eye tear;
Her face the grave of beauty, sad,
severe;
A queen dethroned in her solitude.
Her crimson robes that long the winds
withstood,
Now trailing torn and dark through
out the year.
In her pale hands the pendant ivy,
scar;
Stripped of her coronal; in widowhood;
Yet still remembering her magniti-
Cence,
She walks superbly through the leaf
less glades;
She feels the splendor of her opulence
Has faded from her as the leafs, that
fades;
A queen indeed in royal impotence
She sweeps-how proudly! down into
the shades.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE.

"First buy the best coffee and then
put plenty in."-Old Saying.
To have your coffee strong and good
Some things must first be understood,
For il you slight one single rule,
Neglect the pot or make too full,
Omit to stir 1t when you ought
or use the coffee cheaply bought,
Then be quite sure you'll not succeed,
Who as he runs may often read.
Hot water now,
One cup allow
To each and ev'rY drinker,
And still one more
Completes the score
For cen tariff tinker.

Lavishness and extravaganza
mark many of the seasons elegant
costumes.
Black satin duchesse retains its
popularity for all purposes.
The new Russian frisette cloth in
light colors, is beautiful for evening
wraps.
Fur hats are among the novelties,
and some of them are novel indeed.
The fashionable coiffure for even
ing still requires the assistance of
iewelled pins and combs.
Bows are worn mostly in front
rather than at the back of collars,
with all sorts of necktie ends.
Very effective are the long chains
in which American pearls alternate
with little enamelled beads of gor-
geOus color.
The new wool fabrics are almost
as glossy as silk, and many of them

A New Fad.

The girls can always be trusted to
evolve some new fad before the old
one has grown ancient of days.
Just now it is to have a sailor hat of
dark felt with black ribbon band
and bright plaid ribbon bow on
the right side near the front. The
black band is studded with buttons,
army buttons and navy buttons, in
different stages of brightness and in
different sizes. These buttons are
supposed to have been cut from the
sleeves or fronts of coats or from the
naval or military caps of admiring
friends.

Reception Capes.

The short reception capes are not
only of richest materials, richly
trimmed, but the Innings are of the
gayest, brightest and often most eX-
pensive silks. One of black satin,
with sable tails and heavy jet, both
used upon its short but elaborate
extent, had a lining of magenta
taffeta, with two rows of knife
pleated ruffles, to give a frou-frou as
one handled card case or purse, or
moved ones arms to any extent.
These ruffles were on the edge of the
cape, or as near as they could be
without showing when the garment
was at rest. Berutfled Innings are
very dainty and add to the luxuri-
business of the garment.

Some Interesting Statistics.

The following taken from the
New York World will probably
prove interesting:
Fatal accidents in different
branches of sport since 1894:
Swimming, 1850.
Boating, 1856.
Hunting, 654.
Bicycling, 264.
Horseback riding, 1888.
Ice boating, %.
Baseball, 6.
Tennis, 4.
Golf, 2.
Football, IL.
If those who raise such cry
against football would open their
eyes and ears and listen more to
reason than to an Over-strained
conscience they would think better
of football.

Muffs VIII BE Large.

Muffs are fanciful in design and
are made of velvet and satin, as we'll
as of fur. They are both large and
medium in size. The large ones,
larger than any since the days of
huge muffs, are brought out as the
leading style Of the season, and the
furrier tells you that they are the
thing to have. But the muff of
medium size is much more elegant
in effect, as you carry it and de-
cidedly more convenient to manage.
The New York Sun illustrates a
number of models, some of which
are round, some flattened and others
poeket-shaped. One is made Of
black velvet gathered into a double
frill at either end, interlined with
wadding and lined with green satin.
A stylish black satin bow, with two
sable heads, decorates the side.
Erlnine heads are also very pretty
for this purpose. Another muff Of
satin to match the costume in color
is gathered into a succession of puffs
and finished around the hand with
silk plaitings and a frill of lace.
Flowers decorate the side. A bag
shaped muff is made of green velvet,
lined with cream white satin and
trimmed with plaitings of green silk.
These models offer some suggestions
for fashioning one at home. With
deft fingers and some taste it can be
quite as dressy and good style as the
more expensive ones.

The Pe0nle Want Him.

When Congress meets, il the Re-
publicans give to Josiah Patterson
the seat which justly belongs to gal
liant and gifted Ed. Carmack, they
will most assuredly make Carmack
the next Governor of Tennessee. In
such an event, the Democratic State
Convention would nominate Hon.
E. w. Carmack by reclamation. The
people want him, anyhow.-Neal's
State Gazette.

The two most critical times in wo-

Favorite Prescription is of incalcula BILE
value. 1t strengthens and invigorates
the organs distinctly feminine, pro-
notes regularity of the functions, al
lays irritation and Inflammation, checks
unnatural, exhausting drains, and puts
the whole delicate organism into per-

used as much as one box of their tablets
without decided benefit. We have never
heard of single case where the tablets
have failed to give satisfactory results, and
IL there is n person to be found who has
used them without benefit we want to know
who he is and where to find him. They
never fail to cure kidney and bladder trou-
bles and affections of the genital organs
and overcome all debility and weakness in
both men and women. They improve the
APPETITE, aid digestion and assimilation
and overcome constipation. They have vital
effect on all of the secretOry organs and es-
tablish a healthy condition of the mucous
and gland secretions in every part of the
body; overcome all torpid conditiOns.of the
capillaries and secure perfect circulation
of the blood, so that every organ is supplied
and every function is normal and healthy.
Being the only remedy ever compounded
that fully meets the logical physiological
conditions of the human system, IL is no
wonder that they give results unknown to
medical science. NO matter II the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are SUI
perior to AL known remedies. Their effect
on the nerve centers is a complete surprise
to physicians who have used them. Cases
that have baffled the skill of best physi-
clans and no remedies seemed to benefit,
have been promptly controlled and perma-
nently cured by the Tablets. Cases where
injections OF morphine have been resorted
to as the only means of even temporary re-
lief have been promptly controlled by the
Tablets and the trouble completely over
