Her Memory is Sacred.

Some Southern ladies living in
Philadelphia and members Of Grace
Temple. the great Baptist church Of
that city, proposed that a. memorial
tablet to Winnie Davis shculG be
placed in the church. The church
has tablet to the late President Nc
Kinley ard these good women mem
bers, it is supposed, wishing to
emphasize the abolition of sectional
ism suggested similar tablet to the
daughter of President Davis. A few
members objected, and the ladies
making the proposition requested the
tile committe OF the church to allow
them to withdraw it, which the COM
mittee did.
The tie committee is evidently
composed Of broad minded men, and
il allowing the ladies' to withdra
their request to erect the memorial to
Winnie Davis rcbuke1 SeyerelY the
narrow minded members VINO object
ed to it by the adoption Of resolution
in which they said that the request
of the Christian ladies to withdraw
their offer to insert tablet 20 the
memory of Miss Winnie Davis in tie
decorations on the walls Of the temple
be granted. but that the committee
be instructed distinctly that no such
application to insert tile or tablet to
the memory Of any respectable man
or woman shall ever be declined for
political, parental or social reasons,
nor because Of the locality in which
the deceased may have been born OF
dive! -
: We think the ladies in withdrawing
the request to erect the tablet did the
right thing. The memory Of Winnie
Davis is sacred to the people Of the
South, and, as the Atlanta ConStitu-
tion Says "a tablet to her memory III
any location in Philadelphia would
be manifestly misplaced and those
who knew her gentle nature, her
patriotism IS broad as the union and
Ter utter lack Of resentment for the
fate of the Lost C:.rse: wUuld te sorry
70 have any graren name OF her set
up as the target of its spite ana
snoerS. 1t is wholly unnecessary to
expose the memory OF the dead
Daughter Of the Confederacy to the
evil spirits of those who are Incapable

eInplar Of American womanhood. AL

among the Grace Temple flock Of
Christians is exceptional. No sane
person in the south will feel resentfut
over it. We only ask that no occasion

LEARNING 4 LANGUAGE.

It ys Comparatively Easy to Acquire

The chances are that their vocaou-

would probably surprise them to kno"
that despite the advantages OF ortn

they are able to carry on intelligent con

their sarinss, and they plunge into dis
cl:ssions Of literature, art. music and,
other subjects Of such 1ne elegance
and do it rather successfully too.
Now. how long ought it to take for
a man to learn 900 or TOO or even LOGO

who was very i'll Of typhus fever. The
doctor considered the case hopeless,
but prescribed for the patient and took
his ;eare. Tie next day. in passing by,
he Inquired Of servant at the door if

Dead" was the reply. "No, he is
much better"
The doctor hastened upstairs to OBJ

made this inscription: Cured Of ty-

sterer, by drinking q pailful Of picked

Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, a yaghlikgee, or dealer
in embroidered handkerchiefs, who was
suffering from the same malady. He
forthwith prescribed "a pailful of pic.

aston;shed to be told that the man was
dead.
In his bewilderment at these. phe-

and duly noted it in his memoranda
that although in cases Of typhus fever
picked cabbage juice is an efficient
remedy it is not to be used ulless the
