Your Friends Feelings.

From the comments Of our friends.
good Lord deliver us" should be added to
the liturgy and repeated fervently by all
who value peace of mind. What is more
to be feared than the outspoken criticism
of that friend who thinks his friendship
gives him license to say disagreeab.e
things?
We have so many friends who have
more discernment than tact. So many
who can see u defect, but can not calcu-
late the amount of pain inflicted by com
menting openly thereon. Why criticise
and thus call attention to defects which
can not be helped? Where is all your
kindly feeling, good people? II your
friend has red hair and does not think Il
an adornment, an ill-timed joke thereon
will not mako him happier. TO illustrate,
heard a lady remark to friend, who
was a hard worked teacher You are
looking well these days, hut you have a
good many crows feet around your eyes,
Imagine the soothing effect on the tired
teacher who was already manfestly sirug-
sling with nervous prostitution.
And worse still the remark to another
woman who was habitually pale and sal
low and to whom many responsibilities
had given a care worn expression: why
don. you chirk up bit and get to look
ing better? You look so bad you give me
the horrors every time / see you"
Only one more pang for heart accus-
toned to endure. but why not comfort In
stead of harass? oh, my sisters, have
you changed your gentle natures to peck
like hawks instead OF COOLING like doves?
Let me beg you in the name of kindness

pain. Encourage those who have defects
to overcome them by making them for
get their defects. Talk of the bright
things of life and II your friend looks
pale aud worn, be all the more careful
of her feelings, for they are apt to be
quick. Try TO make each other happy.
Most OF us have peculiarlties which are
hard enough to endure without having
them brutally commented on in our very
presence,

A very short boero of the plain cloth Is
worn over the waist, the tabs being

The tunic Is also long in front and touches
the ground while the sides and back are
very short.

embroidered-and strangely embroidered,
too; for instance. they are sometimes en-
brodered with satin. This looks like
brocade at first sight. and is very rich in
appearance. especially in black. which Is
so much worn now. Satins, on the other
hand are embroidered with silk, and
these also look very rich in black. In
either case these embroidered silks and
satins are very beautiful and they are
also verY strong and durable.

In winter as in summer,
And superb magnolias grow,
Reaching limbs with ivory blossoms.

Freely prohering rare incense
To the sod OF love and grace.

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Every young man with more money
at his command than is good for him
will sympathize with Howard Gould
in his unhappy experience while on
the witness stand in the matter of the
suit brought by Frank R. Mowbray, a
former valet, to recover $4,000 dam
ages. The discrimination related
to incidents occurring during a yacht
ing cruise to St. Petersburg, Copenha-
gen, and other northern European and
delightful midsummer resorts, in the
summer of 1894, in the yacht ATLANTA
There were number OF ladies aboard
the yacht, friends of Mr.. Gould, and
there appears, from the evidence, to
have been some lovely times" to hse
a current expression. The suit is not
yeL determined, but whether Mowbray
gets his money or not, the public has
beell RECALLED with some interesting
reading.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

From the best information obtain
able last night, from all sources, the
indications are that the next Legis-
lature will have Republican majority
on joint ballot OF twenty-three, If the
Democrats were successful in Fayette
county, and of twenty-seven If the
Republican candidates pulled through.
Counting the Fayette members 'as
Democrats, however, until the contrary
is definitely known, the House of Del
egates will stand A Republicans to
u Democrats, a Republican majority
of II, while the Senate will be 16 Re-
publicans to 10 Democrats, a Republi-
can majority of 6, and a joint Republi-
can majority of %, as stated.
The list we publish in this issue
this morning is the only one so far
printed, and it is believed to be fairly
accurate. 1t must be understood, how
ever, that it is subject to changes
made necessary by later and fuller re-
turns from back and interior counties,
from some of which the reports are
conflicting, and from others no re-
port at all, save, perhaps, more or
less reasonable guesses, are at hand.
