Picturesque Madame Wu.

New York Sun. Al.
 One of the sights of Washington IS the Chinese minister's wite taking her con stitutional Mme. Wu's robes are tns most costly that can be bought in Cnina' In her beautiful embfoioeEed wrap; sineN wal ai vided skirt, a magnificent head dress pe- culiar to women of similar rank rank df m feet eet that ever crossed the threshold Of the Chinese legation. she creates no end or admiration. ~
 First. Mime. Wu rides awhile In her chair, being assisted In and out by her female attendants. Then. when the mood strikes her she is assisted to alight and walks as far as her pinched feet will per init. when she again seeks her chair and rides home.
 The chair used by Mime. Wu is not the carrying chair pcculiar to her country. but one of the genuine Yankee products that goes on wheels and has a push be- hind, looking very much like the invalid wheeled chair in general use. Minister Wu does not relish the sensation his wife creates when going about the street. and often Is seen walking in the upper gal lery of the legation. impatiently awaiting her return.

And all true Southerners ap- prove the boycott. whether they express themselves so or not. The average Southerner Is not liberal enough to ap- prove an insulting islander on himself and his section.

Judge Toulman's Plan.

Huntsville Mercury.
 The question of dividing Alabama into two Federal Court districts has brought forth suggestion from Judge Toulman that is worthy of consideration. His idea is to take a tier of northern counties lying west of Jefferson and add them to the Southern District, and hold court for them at Selma.
 Judge Toulman has not been party to the proposition which originated at Birmingham. His suggestion clearly in dicates that he realizes the injustice of the North Alabama litigants being re- quired to go to Mobile for hearing in chambers, and that it was made to avoid the practice of that injustice.
 If the matter of arranging the terms of court is left to Judge Jones and Judge have no cause for complaint. They are fair and just men. and will endure any sort of personal hardships before they will either neglect their official duty or inconvenience those interested in the court,

MAKE YOUR SUPERINTEND.
 ENTS GO,

The annual gathering of superinten. dents will be held at Chicago. February 26, 27, 2S, under the auspices of the National Educational Association.
 This gathering Is always the most inn portant educational event of the year. Ii covers the many important phases oi school administration winch affect directly the educational pulse of the nation. The great giants in the school administration are brought together to combat for that which is true, good and noble in the efforts of the schoolmaster. The observa. tions of the ablest and the experience oi the most progressive are set forth to bear the light of investigation and criti. cism. The sparks which fly from the clashing of the steel of the great com- batants become visible and inspiring tc all. Those who attend are bound to take back to their school systems a new en- thusiasm. new ideals and ideas, new strength and energy.
 Hert Is offered an opportunity to com. pare notes with other superintendents other school systems, as to organization conditions, standard and results. Your superintendent will ascertain by compari. son where he stands and where your school system stands: secure the most advanced ideas. the best methods; in fact keep himself and your school system abreast with the best educational though, of the day.N
 School boards should not only urge their superintendents to go but compel them to go. All progressive school boards do. They need the benefits derived from these great gatherings for their schools. The expense should be borne out of the school fund, as it is in all cities. towns and villages. It will bear a hundredfold interest to the school system. It Is a small investment fol- lowed by big returns.
 The above, from the American School Board Journal. has the right ring in it. The benefit accuring, to the schools of a city, from having the superintendent get in touch with such a gathering as .ne one alluded to cannot be computed Montgomery will be represented. in the person of Superintendent Floyd, the Board having instructed him to attend. In these days of rapid development one city or individual. must keep step or drop out of the ranks.

The Chattanooga Times was guilty of a bad break a day or two ago which it couldn't unload on either the Mergen- thaler or the proof-reader, but attributes it to "a bit of careless pasting." by which an extract from another paper was pasted in the wrong place, or the wrong extract was pasted in the right place, or something of the kind. At any rate the operation knocked all the point out, and The Times should now proceed to paste the paster.

A Severe Arraignment.

Huntsville Tribune.
 We are simply breeding and rearing in our community a set of sports. The prize may do for a while, SO will one. two or three drinks or one, two or three doses of morphine do for 2 while, but it grows on us. The little boys, the little girls are playing cards all over Huntsville. It Is highly respectable to do it. The time has been when our good mothers and so- ciety wives did not do 1t. Had we been caught with deck of cards in our pock- cts when a child we would have been subjected to the death penalty. We would have at least thought they were going to kill. Now every child in the neighbor- hood in which we were reared. is an artist in this line.

Speaking of the project to build public parks at certain places in Alabama The Birmingham Ledger says:
 There would have to be a park at Tal- ladega, where the great battle was fought in which General Jackson broke the power of the Creeks and where seventeen white men and many Indians were kill ed. and where an iron furnace now stands.
 The Ledger ought to be better posted. There was battle at Talladega. it is frue,> but it had little to do with break fnx the power of the Creek Indians. and was really small affair compared to shs hard and decisive battle at Tohopeka.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

"I raised family on Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic", is a common expression in letters to Dr. Harter. It is very true that this famous remedy does appeal to the family; 1t is a common sense, everyday help-not Q patent medicine. There is nc secret about it. Iron has been used to purify and strengthen the blood ever since medicine became Q science. In the half-century of it's existence Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has firmly established itself as an ideal family remedy. It is good for the baby, good for the young folks, and good for adults. There comes to all of these, regularly, not necessar- fly sickness but times when the blood needs to be purified and strengthened; thinking, sensible people take pr. Harter's Iron Tonic at such times to prevent sickness. Keep the young people strong if you want them to sue ceed. When they are merging into manhood and womanhood the system requires an abundance of iron.

First Enxiish Book on Sport.

The first. book on sport ever printed in the English language was a rhymed treatise called the "Boke of St. AL bans," its author being a woman, Dame Juliana Berners. It's second edition was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1496. A descendant of her family. Lord Der ners, was the translator of Froissart's Chronicles" It Is true that old manu- scripts existed, such as the "Venerie de Twecy" of the time of Edward IT., but 1t was Dame Juliana who was the real ancestress of sporting literature in England, for she also composed an essay on hawking and another on Fishing With an Angle" the last be- ing of such excellence that Izaak Wal ton himself did not disdain to take a hint from It's pages
