favor of black and white etchings and water color sketches, was not explained, and no one inquired. But it was evident that the woman was perfectly willing 10 take the responsibility of the entire mat ter. Like Charlotte Corday, she would bear the penalties.
 A Birmingham woman tells of an helaehl in her household that goes to prove that there are some men who gladly shit the responsibility of selecting anything apeut a house. In this case the trouble grew out of so small a thing as a book. The agent for the books called upon the lady nus band at his office, and the interview ended by the latter referring the agent to his resi- dence.
 If my wife cares to take the book,' he said, "it will be all right with me-"
 The agent, ringing the bell an hour later, sent his name in after the manner ot DOCK agents. The "lady of the house came down expecting to see an old friend.
 Your husband" the agent began, re quested me to show you these books, and said if you cared to take them 1t would be alright with him.
 IL was not the first time that she had been told this, and she had learned that frequently her husband had dismissed agents by this same method. Hitherto she had refused to accept any of the attractions offered by instalment plans, and invariably all the book agents that she recalled had been sent to her by her husband. She felt that she would be indulging herself in a luxury if she just at that time expended so large an amount in books, but she de- cided that she would surprise her husband by ordering the set. She tells of his sur prise in the matter, where he will not hear of it, for it has become a sensitive point with him. But from last accounts he has studiously avoided sending book agents to his wife.

Mothers Meeting Yesterday.

The ladies interested in child study met by invitation with Mrs. French on the Highlands yesterday afternoon. Mrs. French, in the most informal way, spoke of the importance of the subject and the obligations resting upon parents to give their first attention to the acquiring of such knowledge as will enable them to discharge their duty to their children.
 Mrs. French mapped out a course to be pursued in the study of child nature. The principal book to be used will be Herbert Spencers Education"
 Mrs. French gave many examples to illus trate the inconsistency of parents in the management of children-the severity used at times and the over-indugence at others.

Consumption ia q d;seaae causod bv

Consumption is a disease caused by
impmrity Of tho blood, and tho first thing
to DO dono in it's treatment is to mako
tho blood pure, rich and wholesome.
That is half tho battle. The other half
is the imprognation of tho blood with
cleansing, healing, invigorating moGioine.
pr. piorce's Golden Medical Discovery
docs both. 1t first puts tho whole digcs
tive systom into perfect order, rids it of
all impurities, and from tho vantage
ground 80 gained. reaches out to every
fiber of tho body and restores all to per-
feet vigor. 1t cures many diseases, sim
ply because many diseases spring from n
sot Of common causes. The same dis
order may lead to different symptoms in
different people. What might bo only a
little indigestion In one person, may COM
bino with q slight cold in another and
result in consumption. A treatment
that tones up tho whole system is
always tho safest. A medicine that Is
good for the general health is pretty suro
to cure ordinary diseases.
