leaving his widow without any means of support. His friends, in the most deii- cate way in the world, provided for her, some occupation for her by which she could support herself. Place after place was offered, but she scornfully rejected every one.
 Did you eyer hear of anything so un- reasonable in your life?" cried the men to each other. Not penny in the world, actually living on charity, and won't do thing!' Finally, in gust of passion, one of the men blurted out to the woman the naked truth-1that her husband had died absolutely bankrupt and that his friends had been providing for her. The woman was aghast. She had never had an idea of the real state of affairs and the minute she knew the truth she ac- cepted the situation with courage, a philosophy and determination to make the best of it that fairly astonished every one.
 So far as business women are con eerned, the chief enemy to their progress is mans fear of telling them the truth A man who has clerk who falls into careless ways or who has some annoy ing fault will talk to him plainly and give him a chance to correct 1t before he dismisses him, but he will not give girl the same chance. He won't tell her the truth about her faults. He will make an excuse about business being bad and then turn her off rather than speak the truth to her. How many times has that happened in our big cities! Girls know.
 Another thing-and l don't know a more pathetic thing-is that the whole world seems banded together to deceive women about the real facts of working life.
 Now there's plenty of work in the, world for every industrious and intelligent girl, but it's nothing short of a crime to make her believe that there is any get-rich- quick way to fortune; and I never read of any of these romances about pct- uresque modes of getting a living that fails to arouse in me a. righteous con tempt for the authors of such stories.

The subject of lighting dining rooms Is one of contention in many households
 As a rule, women like to sit only in a eub-light, which is doubtless deemed be- coming. Men like flood of light, as a rule. even in dining room, but in the matter of the lighting of a table, women usually reign supreme. Both candles and lamps are used to illuminate dining tables, but candles are preferable under all cir cumstances. The lamps however, give more light and are considered much bet ter for some purposes. as the flame is protected from the wind. Silver candle sticks are naturally the most desirable and those in triple plate are quite as er- fective The candles are provided with paper shades in different colors, red and pink are the favorites. Four candlesticks are essential even on a small table.
 When candles are not used a fixture should be suspended from the ceiling over the center of the table, and being low enough so that the flame is entirely con cealed. This can be done by providing the fixture with large silk shade trim med with fringe to match. If such tlx- ture is properly adjusted, it will cast light on the table that will be soft, and the guests eyes will be protected from the glare, says the Chicago Rec9rd-Herald
 Artistic candle shades from large part of the decoration for the formal dinner. Most beautiful shades representing, Tn silk or paper, all the flowers, both In cor bring and shape.

Tell Women the Truth.

Helen Oldtield in Chicago Tribune.
 The pricip1e cause of what is called woman's unreasonableness is the direct result of her not being told the truth. Half the time woman does not know how she stands to face a problem, be- cause she cannot get man to tell her the simple facts in the case. He will say all sorts of soothing things to her and mislead her with rosy hopes, and he win try to make up by the fervor of his compliments for the lies he is telling her, and so she goes blundering along, mak- ing all sorts of mistakes, that she might have been saved from if anybody had had the courage to tell her the truth.
 A curious example of this once came under my own observation. A man died,

sticks can use the plain crystal ones with good effect
 Lamps continue to play prominent part in the lightings of living rooms and they never were moRe beautiful. In a recent visit to one of the large eastern cities, I went into a place where they made and designed lamp shades They were works of art, fashioned from copper, brass wrought, carved or etched, combin- ed with silk of a contrasting or harmoni- ous color. Some of them were very unique being fashioned from odd roses which were fitted with receivers which hold the oil.
 A good many of the large empire shades were decorated in the Art Nourean style. When made of silk or lace, they are much less elaborate than formerly, every effort is being made to simplify the outline and decoration, the fluffy ballet style of shade being a thing of the past. There is noth ing that shows the good taste of the housewife anymore than the artistic lighting of dining table and living rooms.

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
 Effectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been | considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat- ing sensation after eating accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breath ing, headaches fickle appetite, nervous ness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen 1t would show slimy, infamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surface of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condi- ton will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that
 
 will follow their regular use after meals.
 Mir. R. s. Workman, Chicago. Ills, writes: "Catarrh is a local condition re- sulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes unframed and the pois- onous discharge there from passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but today am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. can not find appropriate words to ex- press my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of 1 indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness sour stomach. heart burn and bloat- | ing after meals.

FOREPAUGH-SELLS'
 CIRCUS A SUCCESS
Over l4,000 People Witnessed
 Night Performance
A THOUSAND TURNED AWAY
Crowds Were So Great That Manage ment Found Difficulty In Hand ling Them-Races Had
 to Be Omitted.

The largest crowd that ever witnessed an amusement attraction of any kind in Birmingham packed the great tent of the Forepaugh-sells circus last night, and when the doors were closed to prevent others from entering. the circus manage ment estimated the crowd inside at 14,OOO. Outside there was a thousand more clam bring for admission, but as the throng of people was then almost past the control of the employees of the show, the doors were shut in the faces of many who had come miles to witness the performance.
 The scene inside the huge expanse of canvass was impressive If not inspiring. For over 400 feet sea of humanity greet ed the eye. and the noise from clambering over tiers of seats. mingled with the shouts of people hunting places, was al- most deafening. A problem confronted the ushers as to how to seat such throng of people. but it was finally solved by eliminating the races from the pro- gramme and allowing the crowd to sit on the track. The handling of the spectators proved such a difficult job that the per- formance was delayed thirty minutes. AACit lWO tAllllbo WHICH DidhS . SA GUS successful-the crowd and the show. Forepaugh and Sells were fortunate enough to secure both, and their success in Birmingham went further than the fondest dream of press agent.
 Looping the Loop.
 The main feature of the two perform ances was the daring act of Diavolo who loops the loop on a bicycle. The rider descends long incline and rolls off on level ground. At one time the man is hanging downward with the wheel above him. The great momentum keeps him from falling. It is similar to the old feat of turning a bucket of water over so swiftly that not drop is spilled.
 The next act which elicited great ap- plause from the crowd was a drill by company of Zouaves. Every movement was executed with perfect precision and the guns were handled in such a rhyth- mical manner it seemed as if the arms were moved by machinery.
 The bareback riding. acrobatic and aerial turns were all up to the standard required by first class circuses, while the clowns drove the children into convul- sions of laughter.
 Performance Satisfactory.
 Though hampered by the big crowd. the performance was entirely satisfacto- ry. After the big tents were erected it was found one of them was six feet on a lot which had not been rented. The own CT wanted $500 for the use of the six feet but the management did not feel inclined to pay 1t and the entire tent was torn down and moved. This took place in the morning and delayed the parade about an hour.
