NOTED WOMEN.

Mime. Patti delights in the game of bil- lizards, and is a skillful player. Her bil- Hard room at Craig-y-Nos is one of the handsomest in existence.
 Sarah Bernhardt is a total abstainer from all alcoholic drinks, and to this she at tributes much of her wonderful energy and mental power. Her favorite beverages are milk and water.
 "Ouida" has beautifully formed hands and feet, and to keep the latter from be- ing distorted by unnatural pressure on the bones she wears open buckled shoes, sum- mer and winter alike instead of boots.
 Mime. Melba never suffers from stage fright. Sine attributes her calm repose to a simple diet, and believes that the fre- quent cause of nervousness among singers and actors is indigestion, brought about by careless or self-indulgent eating.
 Mime. Wagner is nothing if not active and possessed of exceptional foresight. AL ready she has taken time by the forelock and has drawn out the programme of the Bayreuth festival for the initial year of the next century. Tn 1901 will be given an ex- ceptionally grand performance of "The Flying Dutchman,'' one of Wagner's early operas. The maestro's widow speaks of mounting the work in style hitherto quite unheard of with any piece that has yet been produced at the Bayreuth "festspiel- haus.'
 The Princess of Wales has no particular liking for outdoor games, excepting cro- quet, of which she is very fond. At Sand ringham, and also at Fredensborg the good old-fashioned game is a great favor- ite which, perhaps accounts for its coming into vogue again. It is now often played at smart garden parties in preference to tennis

IN THE SOCIAL REALM.
vssv--BY MRS. GEORGE Q. sALL---.w


prsed to find a perfectly formed butterfly imprinted thereon by the smeared ink She experimented with various co!ored oil pants and was amazed at the unique blendlhgs obtained. At the fair the new rad was re- ceived with enthusiasm and the uninitiated at a cost of 25 cents were shown how to create these pretty limitations of nature
 The charm of this new diversion lies Tn the manifold combinations that can be evolved by artistic taste. All new and dec oratiye conceits are especially welcome at this season of the year and these bright bits were the most effective for an embel- lishment for Christmas trees The method of producing them is simple, and the art can be acquired in three minutes. Place a piece of white paper, bond or Irish linen, perforated, with the long side parallel to the edge of table. Fold the two sides to- gether, then crease the paper through the center and open in the same position. From a tube of artists oil squeeze drop of paint the size of bean upon the middle point Of the paper. Repeat this operation. covering the first drop of paint with a second of different shade. Holding the paper be- fore, fold according to the creases without much pressure. With the left hand now holding the paper firmly in the same posi- tion, take knife with a blade three-quar- ters of an inch wide and press the paint from the center with a movement of the right hand, spreading the color toward the upper right hand corner; then from the center press the paint by a similar move ment to the lower right hand corner. These two movements form the wings. Turn the crease parallel to the edge of the table. With one-eighth of the tip of the blade press heavily along the crease one and half inches to the left From the center repeat the stroke one and one-half inches to the right. These steps form the head and body. Open the paper, carefully draw ing the sides apart, and there is butterfly. Excellent color combinations are produced hXy xrnIln xr~lt

The Introduction of the Bible
 In Atlanta Public Schools

pr. s. G. Hillyer, of Atlanta has pre- pared the text book of the Bible for use in the public schools of that city. which has been recently indorsed by the Evangel- ical Ministers association.
 This book of Dr. Hillyer's in its original form caused a great clamor and excite ment among certain sects, but it has been altered and amended to suit the demands of certain congregations. It was suggested by Roman Catholics that the book be changed so to include the Catholic deca- logue, and to emphasize the teaching of the eighth commandment, as held by that church. They also desired that the Cath olic position on marriage and divorce be included in the text book The Jewish decalogue will be included in Dr. Hillyer's book. With these alterations it is thought that there will be no further objection to the introduction of the text book of the Bible into the public schools of Atlanta.

 The delightful recital last evening of the Treble Clef club, at the home of Mrs. J. T. Nixon, was a brilliant success, artistically and socially.
 In response to the invitations of Mrs R. F. Johnston and Mrs. Nixon, the entire lower floor of the large residence was filled with many of the most charming and cul- tivated people in Birmingham society, and their appreciation of the musical pro- gramme was enthusiastic The choruses were exceptionally well rendered by the club, and the quartette. by Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Reece and Misses Coffin and Gotten, was one of the best features of the even ing.
 The solos, by Miss Jeannette Moore, Prof. Washburn and MT. Hartzell, were greatly enjoyed and warmly applauded.

try and wipe this odious law from the statute books
 This is precisely the position of the re- publican party, not only in Alabama, but in every other state in the union. Any man who goes before his constituents asking for support on a platform that indorses this law is doomed to defeat The people, those who cast the ballots, are sick of this law. It may relieve the individual members of congress of some work in providing offices for their friends, but the voters care noth- ing for that. If this congress does not greatly modify the law. a congress will be elected next fall that will repeal it in toto."
 Cooper Probably Safe.
 D. B. Cooper appointed marshal for the Northern district of Alabama, is here to look after his confirmation. He will be con- firmed without any opposition, as he stands in with both factions. He called at the White House, and later he and MT. Mabson had an interview with Senator Hoar, who is chairman of the committee before which Cooper's nomination goes.
 MT. Mabson says that Bryan will be de- feated for the marshalship of the middle district without a doubt, and he is equally certain that B. B. Smith, who has been ap pointed postmaster at Opeika, will not be confirmed. The opposition to Smith is based on the alleged ground that he was in the guard-house four times when he was post master under Harrison. Mabson and Walker intend to stay by Buckley, appoint ed postmaster at Montgomery, and build fires under him every time he makes move There is also fight being made on Mrs. s. s. Booth, who was appointed post master at Dothan. Her confirmation is be- ing fought on the ground that she is nonresident. They claim that she has been living at East Lake ever since she left the postoffice at the end of Harrison's admin istration.
 He Helped Reed.
 F. F. Conway, editor of the Bridgeport News, who has been appointed an assist ant door-keeper in the house of represent atives, is in the city, and assumed his du- pontment entirely to the fact that he is one of the original Reed men in Alabama. He says that MT. Reeds managers had their eyes on him, knowing what staunch supporter of the big man from Maine he had been. When he applied for his pres ent position, he says, he was already known to the Reed men in the house on account for MT. Reed when the | ., CT was in search of delegates in the south two years ago, and he was therefore appointed without op- position.

Misses Handley, Mccoy and Gockel con- tributed much to the success of the even ing by their piano work. After the musical programme delightful refreshments were served, and a large punch bowl filled with a tempting brew, stood in the dining room. The young people enjoyed dancing after the recital.

TOCURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's Dys-
 pepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.
 No trouble is more common or more mis- understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo- pie having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring rem edies the real seat of the mischief is lost sight off, the stomach Is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still oth- CTS are troubled with loss of flesh and ap- petite, with accumulation of gas, sour ris- ings and heartburn.
 Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. have been a sufferer from nerv- ous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off, attributed this to my sedentary habits, being bookkeeper with little physical ex- ercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for have gained in f1esh sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on actual fact" Respectfully yours,
 A. w. SHARPER,
 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind. It is safe to say that "Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak ness or disease except cancer of stomach They cure sour stomach gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headache.

Tt is none of my affair. I was and willing to help any man who I think is entitled to place, but I have nothing to do with the confirma- tion of his nomination. I have not spoken to a single member of either the house or senate about the confirmation of Mr. Walker or any other Alabaman, and do not intend to do so.''
 Col. Youngblood does not think much of the civil service law as it is now adminis- tered.
 Are there any other appointments in Alabama of any importance that will be made in the near futue?" asked him.
