EXERCISE YOUR MEMORY.
It Never Fails but Simply Becomes
Languid From Non-Use.

From Everywhere.
Memory does not fail" except in loss Of
all the facultfes); 1t simply gets weak and
languid for want Of use-just as the physi-
cal organs do. People often say MY mem
ory Is falling" when it is really as good as
ever, If they would give it chance. A
word, a date, name, an incident, comes
up, or rather fails to come up when you
want it. There seems to be no possible
way of remembering it. You make two or
three efforts. give up, and say: There's
no use; it's gone from me!'
Nonsense!-it hasn't! 1t is there just as
much as it ever was; only there are lot
Of things over It, Keep at work; bring
your will to bear upon 1t; try and try and
try, and after a while you can get it,
And better, you will find that the exer-
icse required in remembering it will help
you next time, and that little toll and
determination put together will accomplish
wonders in the whole range Of the facul-
ties. Look over your memory, see where
you are most deficient, and exercise it in
that respect. You can do it at any odd
time; while you are walking, riding rest
ing after days work, listening perforce
to a duh speaker Don't let few failures
discourage you; the long corridors of recol-
lection, lined upon both sides with valuable
material, will be opened for you because of
your Importantly, If you use it.

For select circle of inuuiring minds the
lecturer has opened a series of morning

Medicine Bottles as Gods.
From Straw Stories.

from StraF STORIES.
A lady missionary in Burmah gives the
following account Of how she was the in
nocent cause of the worship Of medicine
bottles having been instituted In one Of
her tours she came upon village where
cholera was raging. Having with her
quantity Of pain killer, she went from
house to house administering the remedy
to those attacked. and left number Of
bottles to be used after she had gone. Re-
turning to the village some months subse-
quentiy, she was met by the head man of
the community, who cheered and delighted
her by this intelligence: Teacher. we have
come over to your side; the medicine did
us SO much good that we have accepted
your god" Overjoyed at this news, she
was conducted to the house of her inform
ant. who. opening a room, showed her the
pain-killer bottles solemnly arranged in
row upon the shelf. and before them the
whole company Immediately prostrated
themselves in worship.

very latest thing in use is black mirror.

things. These little black mirrors come

A Chatting Dish Duel.

From the Galveston News
The queerest duel I ever heard of was
recently fought by two friends of mine"
said cubman yesterday. The weapons
were chatting dishes, and the result nearly
proved fatal to both combatants. They
both pride themselves on their knowledge
of culinary art, and their arguments had
become very wearying to the other members
Of the club. In order to put a stop to 1t we
succeeded, by various innuendoes carried
back and forth. in having one Of the fel-
lows challenge the other to combat. It was
agreed that six dishes should be prepared
by each and eaten by tho cook in our pres
ence The six connections selected were lob
ster la Newburg, Welsh rarebit, rum om-
elette, tripe and oysters, chicken livers
saute and stewed terrapin. They started
gayly enough and in high spirits. The con-
test. it was agreed. should not exceed two
hours. Long before the time was up both
were pale and haggard. but they. stuck it
out to the bitter end, and both are now in
the hands Of their physicians. If that
doesn't cure them Of the chatting dish habit
I don't know what will"

LARGE INCREASE OF PUPILS.
Mamie Lou Warthen Institute
Opens Under FInttering Auspices.

Mamie Lou Warthen Institute
Opens Under FInttering Auspices.
Wrightsville. Ga, Sept. 6.-The open
ing exercises of the Mamie Lou War
then Institute. the Methodist school
for the Dublin district, took place last
Wednesday morning in the institute
chapel here, before a large crowd of
patrons, visitors and pupils. The
feature of the exercises was the adj
dress of President William F. Quill
liam, Jr., who is a gifted and talented
speaker, as well as teacher.
School Commissioner w. T. Martin
and Rev. E. F. Morgan also made
short addresses. The faculty of the
school was reorganized during the sum-
mer, on account of the resignation of
the former president, Conner NJ. Wood
ward, who accepted the position of
president of the new school to be opened
this fall at Sparks, Ga. Prof. Quillian,
VINO was vice president of the insti-
tute last year, was elected president.
Prof. Cook, for several years the eff
cient principal of the Darien public
schools, was elected vice president,
while a full corps of teachers in the
other departments, including music,
art and expression. was also elected.
The opening attendance is the largest
ever enrolled at the institute, and is
expected to amount to 200 pupils by
Monday next. The dormitory is crowd
ed with boarding pupils, and many
are seeking board in town.

start with, and when they have written
all they want-the wrong way-from
right to left, they tear it off, fold it
up like a spill and push it into an en-

inches wide, and write the address up
and down, beginning with the name of
the country; the last thing on the en-
velope is the persons name. England,
MiddleseX, Southgate, Osidse, Upton,

1t is at the New Year festival that
you see the Japanese streets in their
glory, when the whole city is deco
rated, at the cost of about a shilling

A NEW CENTRAL TRAIN.
Is Wanted by Columbus to Connect
With the Southern.


Columbus, Ga, Sept. 6.-The Column
bus Board of Trade will very prob
ably ask the Central of Georgia Rail-
way to put on an early morning train
between Roanoke. Ala, and Columbus,
via Opelika, Ala, the object being to
connect with the Southern's fast mail
train from New York, which, leaving
Atlanta at 1850 p. m, will pass Opeli-
ka about a. m. By this new Central
train Columbus would receive the full
benefit of the improved mail service,
as it would get Northern mail several
hours earlier than at present, while
Columbus people would get the New
York papers of the day before on their
breakfast table.
David Weaver, aged 81 years, coun-
try negro, was run over by a street
car on Broad street to-day. He was
deaf and did not hear the car. His leg
is mangled. and on account of his age,
recovery is improbable.
A daStardly attempt was made last
night to assassinate Lidia Williams,
negro cook, at the county poor house.
The woman was shot from ambush,
load of shot entering her hip at
range of only ten feet. She is badly
but not dangerously hurt. No clue 10
the perpetrators or cause for the crime
is known. The negress has been cook
at the poor house for ten years, and
is an honest and faithful servant.
In a letter to Hon. Lewis Garrard,
Wilson, Colson & Co, Baltimore bank
ers, representing the bondholders of The
Waterworks Company, say they will go
ahead and improve their system here,
even if Columbus votes in December
90 build new waterWOrks, to be oper-
ated by the city. This is taken to in
dictate that the bondholders will fight
the Issuance of bonds by the city.
