A Mistake Of American Women.

"In furnishing our chamber, perbak .
We commit the grossest violations OF
the laws of good taste and OF Rooo
health at the same time," writes Ed
ward Box, in the November Ladies
Hcme Journal, In plea for the SIM
pier and better furnishing Of our homes
"Instead of keeping a sleeping apart
me,>t perfectly simple, putting into 1t
only such articles as are absolutely nee
essary, we load into it a confusing mass
of all manner OF useless things which
have no place there. Then We Call
such littered-up room dainty.
Truthfully speaking, the a eraSe
sleeping-room is mess OF trlflies new
or brought into use, which have abso-
lutely no business nor place there.
Whereas a sleeping apartment should
have the freest circulation of air, it is
almost impossible for current OF air,
to work lite way through. We need
not seek to have the barrenness OF the
sleeplug-rooms OF monasterles OF hos
pitfalls, and yet there is a lesson In
them by which many might richly
profit. Here health GENES in even be-
fore good taste. We can scarcely keep
a sleeping-room too airy and DEVOID OF
articles of furniture. Only what is ab-
solutely needed for actual use should
be in an apartment where we spend
one-third of our lives. The private
chamber is, really, an unerring refiec-
ton of either wisdom or folly, OF
good taste or bad"

Neglect Of Small Business.
Norfolk Landmark

Norfolk Landmark
Have you ever noticed how difficult
it is to get men to attend to small jobs?
Suppose you want carpenter to mend
your door, or locksmith to tit few
keys, or a bricklayer to lay some b, icks
how many men will fill your order
promptly If there are only two or three
dollars "in it,? Often you must g. for
weeks without finding any one who will
undertake the "trifllng" work, and
sometimes it Is impossible to secure the
service OF competent person at all.
This state of affairs Is not encourag-
ing. It shows that >omething is wrong
with the times. "Small business will
furnish a living, and a good one. Il
will not, to be sure, put men into the
posse ssion of great fortunes at jump,
but with patience and application it
will more certainly build up a colnpe-
tency than any other form of human
endeavor. Take the Jew. AS
race, the Hebrews are the greatest
money-makers In the world, and as
race they live comfortably and spend
their earnings literally. Do they not,
in nlnetynine cases out OF hundred,
build up their fortunes from 'small
business?
Men may not know it, but it Is true
that the instinct which prompts them
to desplse small undertakings and
small profits is the instinct OF specula-
ton. From whatever point Of view
you begin your examination, If you
pursue 1t logically and relentlessly you
come finally down to this basal In
fuence. Big jobs for "blg money"
and that sort OF jobs only, are sough.
by those who desire to ''get rich quick
ly;; :" and in the dew elopment of this
idea great many men are oyerwhelm-
ed In the rush and precipitated into
sudden poverty instead of sudden
wealth. Those who hunt only for big
game run q much greater risk than
their brethren who go after the small
quarry as we'll. It is safe to say that
neglect of little opportunities has
caused more failures in the world than
neglect OF great ones

A maiden sat reading letter,
Her cheeks were like roses a-bloom
"From your own sweetheart Thomas"
she finished
AS her mother came into the room.
"What's this?" the harsh mother cried
sternly.
"Ihis talking of sweetness" said she,
"a letter from that young fool, Thorn

Pray hand it right over me-"
"Dear mother. I'll read you the letter"
Said the maiden, with voice so de-

For It's nice letter, I'm sure"
"Dear Laura, / love you so madly
Tonight am lonely and lorn,"

But where there's a will there's q

And they will yet dance at our we'd

But the arch was erected to celebrate
the deeds and character Of living
man, George Dewey, and the living
man has gone on living and blnndering
| till now nobody is disposed to give a
dollar toward the perpetuation Of this
arch, erected to mark the universal
alteration of his courage and achiev-
ments.
So much for the facts. Now for the
lesson of it all Haec fabula docet that
it is an extreme degree unwise to set
up monuments Of any kind to living
men. Whatever their ACHIEVEMENTS or
their deserts may be they are likely at
any turn Of events to smite the popular
alteration in the face and destroy the
very foundation upon which the inn
pulse of admiration has built its struct-
ure.
But is there not further lesson than
this? Would it not be well for our
Park Commissioners and our other
public authorities to decree, once for
all, that no statue or monument of any
kind shall be erected in eommemoration
of any man until he has been dead for
sufficient number of years to subject
his fame to the test of time-the great
final crucial test. The giver of the
money which is creating the Hall of
Fame stipulated that no mans name
should be admitted to it unless and
until the man himself should have been
dead for at least ten years. Fifty years
would have been a wiser and better
limit. For surely no man is entitled
to place in the Hall of Fame, or to
any monument in our public places,
unless his fame has been such as to last
at least half century in the minds of
his fellow man. 1t is a mistake to erect
enduring monuments to ephemeridae.
Let us wait and see how genuine and
how lasting our current heroes fame is
before we put them into bronze or mar

Major SttarIinl!g's
Unexpected Death,
Occurred Suddenly Monday Morn
ing at His Room at the New
7 IA man Hotel.

The unexpected. death of Major Will
liam Startling, was announced on the
streets last Monday morning. About Q a.
M, he was found by a servant dead in
his room at the Newman Hotel. The
news came with shock to his brothers
and sisters and to his many friends
throughouts the city. No man who
ever lived in the city was . more
polished, hightoned, Southern gentle
man than Major Startling, and the
friends he had here and throughout
the Delta, where he was well-known,
were legion. For many years Major
Startling was the Chief Engineer OF
the Levee Board, and later on was en-
ployed by the government, located at
New Orleans. In both positions, he
discharged creditably all duties de-
volved upon him. Major Startling was
q member Of the Masonic fraternity,
and last year was made a Grand Master
by the Grand Lodge. His death was
caused, 1t is thought, from heart tron-
BILE, The funeral took place from
the home of his brother, Mr.. Lyme
Startling; and he was inferred In the
City Cemetery.
