Talladega, March 20.-(Special.)-It will be remembered that several years ago, when the play Alabama" was written, the author selected Taladega as the scene of his production. The author had evil dently never been in Talladega, as the play was staged throughout with swamp scen- cry, when In reality. this beautiful town is in the heart of the mountains, and is called by the citizens "Our Mountain Home.'' After having been to the great industrial towns of north Alabama, it is indeed relief to visit this agricultural city. The people are not too busy to stop and talk. At present this talk has assumed a lively political hue. The constitutional convention is the absorbing topic among the lawyers and politicians, and the cam didates and their friends are hard at work on the voters. Talladega has furnished the state with some of its most brilliant men, and no fears need be entertained lest she send good men to the constitutional con- vention.
 City of Schools
 Though Talladega has a few large in- dustries, it might be better termed a town of schools and agriculture. Here are sit- uated the Institute for the Blind, the Deaf and Dumb Institute for both white and colored, the Isbell Female college, the Orphans Home and the Talladega College for Negroes All these schools are the best in their line, and especially is this true of the institutes for the deaf, dumb and blind. These poor unfortunates are brought here and educated so that a con- versation can be carried on between them and their more fortunate friends. It is said that no person is really both deaf and dumb but the organs of speech be- come useless when person is born deaf. These mutes are now taught to speak, though they cannot hear, and can also un- derstand what is said to them by the movement of the speakers mouth. The blind are taught to read from raised let ters and to make useful their lives which are seemingly blighted.
 The Industries
 A large oil mill Is now in operation at this place and is proving quite successful. About thirty-five men are required to oper- ate the mills, and g. large amount of cotton seed, which can be procured right around town, is consumed daily. ready sale is found for the output and the plant Is pros- pering The Talladega cotton factory is an- other large concern, and works one hun dred people. The factory is of 5000 spindle capacity and is running full time Another large industry which is very necessary to southern farmers is the Talladega Ferti- lizer company. This company works a large number of men, and is turning out a fine grade of fertilizers. The B. 6 A. rail- road shops are also located here, and this. with several smaller mills, ginneries, etc., makes Talladega a considerable manufac- turing town, though her principal pursuits may be in another direction.
 An Indian Story
 Just sixty-seven years ago the present site of the town of Talladega, which was the Indian name for "border town." was the scene of Q bloody battle between the Indians and the troops under General Jack

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughterl
 Tradition says "woman must suffer-" and young women are so taught. There is little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinlkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letter from Miss MARIE F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 "My health became so poor that 1 had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. l was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as e,e was. have gained flesh and have D good color I am completely cured ot irregularitv.

MONEY TO LOAN

"The Alabama Home' has so perfected its plan that borrowers have many valuable options of settlement. Allowing the with drawal value of the stock with accumu- lated profits after seventy-two months to be withdrawn and credited direct on a loan enables a borrower to know in advance al- most the exact cost of a loan. Illustrating the above we here give you the cost of a $500 loan when the borrower repays $1OO direct on his loan each year and withdraws the stock In seventy-two months. (Of course any amount can be figured in the same way from $500 to 1000:

SAYINGS OF BISMARCK.

OF universal suffrage he said: "It ID
the government of n house by its nurs
cry"
Radicals" said he, "are forever
wanting the unattainable, like the
Russians, who crave cherries in win.
ter and oysters in summer"
"When 1 wish to estimate the dan
ger that is likely to accrue to me from
an adversary l first of all subtract the
mans vanity from his other qualities
On one occasion of obedience to his
wife Bismarck replied: 1T is surpris-
ing what n man will do to enjoy peace
in his own house after having had a
thorough taste of war"
Bismarck was showing friend
round his house some time ago, and as
he laughingly pointed to the ponder
Gus and forbidding iron safe in his
wife's bedroom he said: "YtS, see, my
wife acts as my cashier, and let me ell
you that a man who trusts his wife
with his financial interests has ..iscov.
cred an infallible way to save money"
After the day on which Bismarck
was shot at (May 2, 1860 by Karl
Blind his wife said: "If l were in
Heaven and saw the villain standing
on the top of IL ladder leading down
to hell would have TO hesitation in
giving him push" "Hush. my GEAR"

MORE MONEY.

Washipgton-It is now apparent that
in the fall movement OF the crops there
will be pressing demand for more cur
rency OF paper money. As this can be
furnished In no other way than by issue
OF gold certificates, there will be un-
doubtedly demand more or less upon
the treasury for such certificates against
the deposits of gold coin. The sub
treasury at San Francisco has already
been notified BY wire to resume the is
sue of gold certificates on deposits Of
gold and in payment over the counter of
government obligations. Phe other
sub-treasuries have been notified to the
same effect by letter. which they will
receive before business hours on Mon
day morning.
The sub -treaeurers have also been
advised that the government will ship
them an additional supply Of gold cer-
tincates today Of what is known as de-
partment series, In denominations rang
ing from $40 to $1,000 AID aggregate
about $1OOOOOOO. It 10 anticipated that
the old certificates most In demand will
be what is known a. "order" certificates.
These will be issued to individual dspos-
itors Of gold and in their own names in
sums ranging from 5000 to $4,000
each.
Tho government now has in its vaults
between sss. 100000 and s9O.OOO.OOO in
gold certificates Of what IL known a. the
series Of 1883, and these will be sup
piled on demand until others can be
printed at the bureau Of engraving and
prip ting.
It will be recalled that Secretary Car
Isle suspended the issue OF gold certia-
Gates by an order promulgated April IA
1888. His authority for 90 doing was
that contained in section IL of the act
of July 10, 1892, which made it obliga.
tory on the secretary OF tho treasury to
suspend the issue whenever the gold re-
serve retained in the treasury sould fall
below $1Oo,OOO,OOO.

Philosophy of Eyes.

Blue eyes are said to be the weakest.
Upturned eyes are typical OF devotion.
Wide open eyes are indicative OF rash
ness.
Side-glancing eyes are always to be
distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to be
the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed TO
Indicate cunning.
The downoast eye has in all ages been
typical OF modesty.
The proper distance between the eyes
is the width Of one eye.
People of melancholio temperament
rarely have clear blue syes.
Eyes with long, sharp corners show
great discernment and penetration.
The whit OF the eye showing beneath
the iris indicates nobility Of character.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil the indication is OF
cool delioeration.
Unsteady eyes rapidly jerking from
side to side. are frequently indicative Of
an unsettled mind.
Gray eyes which turn green in anger
or excitement are indicative Of a chol.
eric temperament.
An eye, the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil indicates
mental ability.
Brown and black eyes are the prevail
ing eolore in lunatic asylums.
Eyes OF any color with weak brows
and long. conclave lashes are indicative
OF weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said by
physiognomists to indicate great intelli-
gebce and . tenacious memory.
Wide open. staring eyes in weak eoun-
tenances indicate Jealousy, bigotry, in.
tolerrnce, and pertinasity without firm
ness.
All men of genius have bright, clear
, slow moving eyes. This indicates men
tai ability Of some kind, it don't matter
what.
Blue eyes are generally considered
effeminate, but this is mistake, for
blue eyes are only found among caucas-
sion nations and the white racs rules
the world.
