Well to Know That

While housekeeping is not always
home-making, without a certain
amount of housekeeping, home-mak-
ing is a failure.
A measure of order, simplicity and
fitness must be obtained in the ar
rangement Of furnishings, or they will
lose their original beauty and give the
effect of medley of furniture, draper
les and pictures.
A room that lacks the element OF
comfort is never inviting, however ex-
pensive its appointments may be.
In furnishinga bedroom we are deal
ing with this lungs of the house, and,
whatever else we do, we must not OBJ
struct the entrance Of fresh air.
The knaek of adapt ing. and convert
ing what one has into what she desires
is one of the most valuable gifts, or ac-
quirements, that the home-maker with
good taste and a shallow purse car
have. From "The Household, in

ONLY A RuM0R.
BrOwnlow Said to Be Working Against Col,
Tyson.

Tyson,
1t is widespread rumor in the city
that Congressman Walter P. Brown
low, of the First district, has said that
Col. L. d. Tyson should be deprived
of his position as colonel of the Sixth
U. s. voluntary infantry, in sixty days,
The rumor was heard and followed up
by Sentinel reporter, but no authen-
tic source for the statement was found.
The purported reason for Mr.. Brown
lows intention to see Col. Tyson de,
posed is that at a recent military court
of investigation two of Brownlow's
men were dismissed from their COM
mands in the regiment, The men were
Capt. Jobe and Lieut.. Gregg. This is
the reason assigned for Brownlow's in
tention to leave no stone unturned to
get Tyson out of the way.
Coupled with this rumor is a rumor
coming from Porto Rico, in number
of letters to this city, that the report
there is that the regiment is soon to be
mustered out. Considered together
the two rumors are thought by many
to signify something.
In the court of inquiry before which
the above mentioned officers failed to
qualify. Maj. Spcer Whitaker also
failed to qualify and was dismissed,
This is supposed to have raised the
wrath of Senator Pritchard, of North
Carolina, against Col. Tyson, also, and
it is thought that the two offended men
are working in the matter
A gentleman in the city who is in as
close a touch with the affairs of the reg.
iment as any one in Knoxville says that
the officers mentioned were dismissed
principally for the reason they were
drunk and allowed their men to have
whiskey during the landing at Sar
Juan.
1t is believed that any attempt to re
move Col. Tyson will be of little avail
The task which Brownlow is reported
to be undertaking is generally believed
here will be something more than hi
influence can accomplish. s. Sentinel.

Two bills that are intended to pull
Tennessee out of the financial hole have
been introduced in the general assem-
bly,. One fixes the tax rate at fifty
cents on the one hundred dollars, thir-
ty five cents to be for state purposes,
and the other creates a sinking fund
for the liquidation and retirement of
the funded debt. 1t is provided that
ten per cent of all state revenues go
into the sinking fund and that bonds
be purchased or called. The amount
of interest saved and the entire surplus
in the treasury January 1, is also to go

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN"

Rudyard Kipling has written a poem
entitled 'The White Mans Burden, 1"
evidently called forth by the colonial
development Of the United States. 1t
will appear in the February issue of
McClure's Magazine, although editors
did not receive the poem until after the
Magazine was on the press. The 'front.'
ispiece was taken out, and the poem
was printed in its place. The poem is
not only important, but is Of consid-
erable length, and we are permitted to
give some extracts from it.
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captive's need;
To waite, in heavy harness,
On huttered folk and wild
Your caught sullen peoples,
Have devil and half child.
