The Cruel Wife.

A man who was given to grumbl.
ing at everything and on every oc.
cssion was attacked by indamma-
tory rheumatism and was carefully
nursed by his wife, who was very de-
voted to him in spite of his fault6nd'
ing disposition. His suffering caused
her to burst into tears sometimes az
she sat at his bedside.
One day a friend of the invalid
came in and asked him how he was
getting on.
BADLY, badly" he exclaimed
"And it's all my wife's fault"
s'Is it possible?" asked the frien6
in surprise.
"Yes. The doctor told me thai
damp places were bad for me, anc
there that womsn sits and cries just
to make the air moist in the room"

Moral Effect Of Diets.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, if per-
severed in for months, makes man
strong, energetic and audacious, says
Pearson's Weekly. A mutton diet
continued for any length of time
tends to melancholis, while veal
eaters gradually lose energy and
gayety. The free use of eggs and
milk tends to make women healthy
and vivacious. Butter used in excess
renders it's users phlegmatic and lazy.
Apples are excellent for brain work
srs, and everybody who has much in
tellectual work to do should eat them
freely. Potatoes, on the contrary,
render one dull, invidious and lazy
when eaten constantly and in excess.
To preserve the memory even to an
advanced age nothing is better than
mustard.

Food For Reflection.

"We have lived in the South as
long as we can on the bounties of ma
ture, and have reached the point at
which we must study science, learn
the arts, use our material resources
and accumulate wealth, or else fail
behind and go down" So says Pres
ident G. W. Dabney, of the University
of Tennessee. This is q statement
worthy of our most earnest considera-
tiop, says the Textile Excelsior.
Who can say that the natural re-
sources of the South do not surpass
those of any other country? What
will we do with them is the question.
How long will our hundreds of
turbulent streams dash on their
course through the land, carrying to
waste vest store Of energy? When
will our little hills and mountains be
made to give up their, hidden treas
ures, and what of a more advanced
manufacture of King Cotton? The
South has done we'll, but must do
more to endure. Yes, We have the
favors of nature, but how useless
they are without the knowledge and
skill to accept them in the fullest
manner.

The Lawyers BIIndeg.

A lawyer tells how small boy once
got the better of him in cross-exsm-
instion. Part of the questioning and
the replies thereto are as follows:
sHave you any occupatiops"
ssNo."
"Don't you do any work at alls"
"No."
'Just loaf around home?"
'sThat's about ALL"
"What does your father do?"
..'Nothin' much" ..
doesn't he do anything to support
the fsmily?"
.He does odd jobs once in a while
when he can get them"
GAS matter of fact isn't your fa-
ther a pretty worthless fellow, nearly
always fighting, and a loafer?"
81 don't know, sir; you had better
ask him. He's sittin' over there on
the iuey."

The Farm Mule.

! A good deal can be said in favcr
of the mule. A mule is an easy ami
NAL to raise. He doesn't eat much,
as compared with the horse. An en-
ergetic mule will make a trip quick
er than q horse, though he msy not
90 so fast. The secret of his speed
is his uniform gait-steady and per
sistent. You hardly ever see sick
mule; he seems practically immune
from the disease that attacks horses.
A mule can endure more hardship
than horse, will pull more in pro-
portion to size, and will "stay with
it" longer. A mule is easier broken
or trained to work than a horse, and

Not a. Love Knot.

A handsomely dressed lady riding
recently in crowded Amsterdam
avenue car was fortunate enough to
have a seat, but when nearing her
destination she noticed that the lacing
of her ehoe was unfastened. It was
the work of q moment, but a very
trying moment, to stoop down and
knot it securely. When this was &C.
complished, her hat-veil readjusted
and her gloves once more carefully
put on, it was time to signal the cop-
ductor. This she did, and after two
vain attempts to rise looked around
indignantly to find the cause of her
retarded movement. She came face
to face with very irate gentleman
who had been sitting next to her.
MADAM, madam, where are you
trying to take me7" he demanded.
"I-you!" she stammered.
Eyes. Look there!" He pointed
to the floor, and in instant she bad
grasped the situation. By mistake
in cropping, she had found the lacipg
of his shoe. which she had taken for
the other end of her own, and had
fastened them SO carefully together
that it took the gentleman quite five
minutes to effect release, under the
amused glances of the other occu-
pants of the car, which had travel d
twice that number of blocks before
the lady was ready to give another
signal. New York Times.

team OF mule run away they look out
for themselves.
Those who use them would rather
plow corn with team of mules than
with horses-they break down less
aud turn round quicker. Hot wealth
or affects mules less than the horse.
A good honest business mule is
worth and will command a good
price any day in the week. The USE

pearance he makes up in actual use

Scattering EetStls Seeds.

A lady who had spoken ill of her
neighbor went to Catholic priest
for confession. After she had told
her wrong the priest gave her hand
full of nettle seeds and told her to 90
scatter them over the field. This
done she returned for further instruc-
tions. %Now," said the priest, "go
pick them up and brig them back
to me-" But that is impossible!
I cannot do it," Neither can you
call back or make amends for the evil
words you spoke" replied the priest.
A good lesson forcibly taught.

Inviting Frank Criticism.

A rich, but irascible art collector
of Chicago, recently invited critic
to view bis latest purchase. The
collector is in no sense an authority
in art matters himself, and gauges
pictures largely by the price.
"Its gem, a treasure; I know it
is." he said, "but I want your frank
opinion. Cost me big sum, but its
worth it. One of the old masters,
you know"
When they stood before the picture
the critics brows contracted and he
looked thoughtful. The collector was
watching him snxiously.
Had an alleged judge of these
matters up here the other day." the
collector remarked, "but he didn't
know anything. Its astonishing what
reputation man can get by a little
assurance; but be won't make that
mistake again."
"What mistake?" asked the critic.
"Why, he said this was not an orig
inal, but copy, and the roasting I
gave him just shriveled him up. 1t
was ell could do to restrain myself
Mbm kicking him out Of the house,
the presumptuous fool. Now, what's
your honest opinion of the work."
II believe" said the wise critic, af-
ter another inspection Of the canvas,
"that I'd better take little time for
consideration. If you don't mind,
I'll write you what I think Of it,"

Fashion Hints For September.

The ultra-fashionable coat for
autumn will be shaped on loose fitting
lines snd in three-quarter length.
The frou fron effect at the lower

Loose-mesbed fabrics are favored
for early autumn tailor gowns.

A New Railroad Deal.

IL is announced from Baltimore
that the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
Company has bought the South and
Western Railway. The latter is q
new company, under which two or
more roads will be consolidated. It
owns the Ohio River and Charleston
Railroad, which it is proposed to ex-
tend from the coal fields of South
west Virginia to Lincolnton, N. G.,
where, according to the plans, con-
nection is to be made with the Sea-
board Air Line. The scheme for
this development was financed by the
Union Trust Company of Baltimore.
The promoters of the scheme an
nounce that the route planned will
be the shortest line from the Virginia
coal fields to the Atlantic coast and
the South.
The proposed road will be about
275 miles in length, but it is thought
that the mileage will be increased by
it's extension in northerly direction.
Connection may be made with the
Detroit Southern at Ironton, Ohio.
The Detroit Southern operates from
Detroit to Wellston, Ohio, via Lima,
34S miles, with branches 80 miles, q
total of 40S miles.
The Ohio River and Charleston
Road extends from Johnston City,
Tenn, to Huntdale, N. @, a distance
of 81 miles. It was originally the
Tennessee section of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago project. The
Carolina portion of this road was
built from Camden, S. G, to Marion,
N. G, III miles, and is now known
as the South Carolina and Georgia
Extension, and is controlled by the
Southern Railway. The Ohio River
and Charleston was recently sold by
Samuel Hunt & Go. to the South and
Western, of which George L. Garter,
of Bristol. Tenn, who organized the
Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany and the Virginia and South
western Railway Company, is presi-
dent. :
