yeares before he dyed. have heard him
say, that after his booke of the Circula-
ton Of the Blood came-out that he fell
nightly in his practice, and that twas
believed by the vulgar that he was
crack-brained; and all the physicians
were against his opinion, and anvyed
him; many wrote against him. With
much adoe at last in about 30 or 80
yeares time, it was received in all the
Universities in the world; and, as Mr..
Hobbies sayes in his book DE Corpora, ,
he is the only man, perhaps, that ever
lived to see his owne doctrine establish
ed in his lifetime.
HE was much and often troubled
with the gowte, and his way Of cure
was thus; he would then slit with his
legges bare, if it were frost, on the leads
OF Cockaine house, putt them into a
payle of water, till he was almost dead
with cold, and betake himselfe to his
stove, and SO twas gonne. He was hott-
headed, and his thoughts working
would many times keepe him from
sleepinge; he told me that then his way
was to rise out Of his bed and Wake
about his chamber in his shirt till he
was pretty coole, i. O., till he began to
have horror, and then returne to bed,
and sleepe very comfortably. '-Au-

DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Second Days Proceedings of Their Convention
 In Washington.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The opening exer- cises incident to the second days meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton consisted in the singing of national hymn America" by the large assemblage, invocation by the chaplain general and an- other hymn composed for the society by Mrs. John Bell Bouton and dedicated to the Hannah Winthrop chapter, of Cam bridge, Mass.
 The report of Mrs Albert D. Crockett the vice president general in charge of the organization, indicated the rapid growth of chapters in the west. The chapter in Hon. olulu, she said, was increasing in numbers steadily, and one in the City of Mexico was projected.
 Mrs. Charlottee Emerson Main, the re- cording secretary general, reported sixty five charters issued during the year. Con- necticut was the banner state in member ship, while New York headed the list in the formation of new chapters. Mrs. Jane Seymour, the registrar general, reported that she had verified the papers of 3,030 ap- plicants for membership during the year. The whole number of real daughters of rev. olutionary soldiers is now 269, and their average 91 years.
 The report of the treasurer general, Mrs. Mary B. Hatch, showed the finances of the congress to be in a healthy condition.

The Latest Fashion Notes
 Of Gloves and Shoes

The newest idea in gloves is the one or two clasp walking glove A light maroon is the favorite shade. Heavy skin is used, and, indeed the gloves closely resemble those for men. The long crinkled glove is still worn for evening wear. Some of the medium length gloves have lace tops, while others have silk tops, which extend nearly to the elbow. The long gloves are in suede but all others are glace.
 Among the novelties in party gloves is glove embroidered from the wrist to the shoulder, but it is not considered in par ticularly good taste. It should never under any circumstances be chosen by the girl who wears the same gloves on a number of white stitched up the back are worn. For inent this spring.
 stand the proper care due them. Eternal vigilance Is the price of dainty gloves. They should never be rolled into a wad or left lying inside out. Pull off slowly, stretch each finger to it's fullest length. Mend every minute rip with glove thread and needles, which come especially for the purpose Wrap each pair in tissue paper and keep in a long box without fold ing.
 There is a radcial change in the styles of women's shoes that gives promise of the greatest comfort and ease. The soles are broad, broad as the foot itself, and of corresponding shape. For the first time in the history of the modern shoe of the American woman, the entire foot rests

The End of Gaiety
 The Beginning of Lent
beeeeeooeeeeos

The lights are out; the flowers are dead; the music is hushed and the maskers are gone. The frivolties of the past months are now things of memory. Today is Ash Wednesday, and the solemnity of the Lenten season belts the civilized globe. In the various Episcopal and Catholic church. es of Christendom will be heard the voice of fasting and lamentation and of that liturgy which for ages has called men and women to self-examnation and self denial.
 For six weeks a large majority of the Christian world will draw closer to Him who hath said Turn ye even to Me, with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping, and with mourning" Services will be held today at the Catholic churches, at St. Mary 's-on-the-Highlands, and the Church of the Advent and for six weeks these churches will be open for daily prayer.
 All over the world charitably inclined wo- men are preparing to accomplish some es- pecial good during Lent. Plans are being perfected which will make of this period of penance one rich in harvest of good deeds. And, this harvest will surely count in that great Day when the sheaves are numbered In the eternal reckoning, and the wheat is safely garnered, but the tares are burned.

Sewing Classes Organized
 For Lenien Work

The following description of the rules and regulations governing the Lenten sew ing classes organized in the large cities of the country should prove suggestive and helpful to Birmingham girls:
 The sewing class is unique. As early as the 1st of January two or three popular girls with large bumps of executive ability secure six or seven patronesses who are willing to have a sewing class meet at their house once during Lent. On these occasions tea and petit pours are served in large quantities. After the patronesses have lent their names and hospitality a list of twenty-five girls names is made out and passed upon by the organizers.
 Popular girls belong to two or three sew ing classes. The more the merrier. The girls assemble at o'clock in some ones drawing room and find huge piles of stout cotton stuff and red flannel waiting for them. Each girl selects a complete outfit for woman or child and sets to work with a needle and jeweled thimble. At o'clock when buttonholes begin to yawn and seams begin to zigzag their slow lengths over the garments, the blessed men begin to amble in. The swagger sew ing bee ends in tea and walk home in the gloaming. For it Is the highest fash ion to walk often and much in these days.
 Several girls, however, have learned all the mechanism of seams and gussets and bands and also of the construction of gowns, and will teach them to classes of girls in the social settlements during the next two months.
 Some north side girls have arranged a course of lectures and entertainments which they will give evenings in the club house for working girls. This same thing was done last year so successfully that more extended work will be undertaken this year. This is not as easy as it sounds, for these amateur lecturers and entertain CTS must not only interest and amuse their auditors, but must also bear the criti- cism of their collaborators.
 A number of young women v-'' @evote their Lenten mornings to visits to the va- rious hospitals. Collections of books and pictures, toys and puzzles, have been mak- ing for weeks. and will be personally dis tributed by girls who like to cheer the sick.
 Of study classes new sets are springing up in the three points of the compass. Just fancy! One class in modern Greek and not enough French teachers to go round.

upon the sole. The old style had sole so narrow that the foot spread over it, and the upper part was made of sufficient fullness to support it.
 The common sense of the present styles in shoes for women has extended to the little folk, who will at least be started out on the right principle. The soles are the full width of the foot, which allow an opportunity for natural and unrestricted growth.
 The reign of the pointed toe is over, but 1t will be many a day before it is forgot ten. The average foot is not built on that plan, and feet were ruined at a rapid rate by those who followed the fashions.
 There Is a growing tendency to follow the styles of mems shoes, which 1t is gen orally supposed are models of common sense. And the English shapes are care fully considered by the manufacturers, who make point of putting the most sen- sible shoes on the market.

 James McGraw, of Harwood, said he was pursued by the strikers and as he could not run because of his advanced age, he hid in the bush and as he dropped two shots were fired at him. He remained in hiding until the men had gone.

 To admit that the building and loan bud- ness Is not good business Is to admit that the members have not enough intelligence to make rules for their own benefit. If the investor is paid too much, the borrower pays too high a rate of interest. If the borrower pays too low rate, the investor gets too small return.
 The 72-months settlement plan of "The Alabama Home" is satisfactory to all mem bers The investor gets 10 per cent; per an mum accumulated interest. The borrower gets the same rate of profit on his stock that the investor does, so that a payment of SIP dues on a g, ,000 loan the profit on the stock reduces the rate of interest to 7.sO per cent. These are ideal figures and we have realized them and are settling th's way every day Now is a good time to join the association. Apply to
