Beauty and Amiahility.

The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances
is the woman who holds the strongest
power over men.
And amiability is not only power, it
is mental progression and health and
happiness and long life TO ones self
and TO ones friends and family.
The assertion from a woman that
she has a bad temper, and is proud
of it, has kept more than one worthy
man from asking her TO share his fu-
ture as his wife.
No matter how beautiful and brainy
and fascinating the bad tempered
woman may be, or how lengthy her
bank account, her power is minutes
imal compared with that of her anna
bic sister
The average man prizes permanent
peace and content above the happiness
of possessing a beautiful, attractive
creature for a wife, and he knows that
a bad-tempered woman and peace go
not together.

MIR. Cleveland W oman's Clubs.
Grover Cleveland has contributed an
article to the May Ladies' Home Jour-
nal on ''Woman's Mission and Wom-
ans Clubs" The former President
locks with little favor upon woman's
clubs. His ideal of good wife is
summed up in the homely definition:
"A woman who loves her husband and
her country with no desire to run
either" He does not object to women
associating or cooperating in charita-
BILE, benevolent and religious work To-
cal in activities and purposes. He even
seems willing a woman should belong
to one or perhaps even two clubs. He
fears, however, that if she join one
club she will be tempted TO join more,
and will finally get to neglecting her
home. He regards home making and
child rearing as the highest missions
of woman, and he believes there are
woman's clubs whose objects and in
tents are not only harmful but harm
full in way that directly menaces the
| integrity of our homes and the benign
disposition of our wifehood and moth
erhood"
Mr.. Cleveland thinks the rapid
growth of woman's clubs is partly due
to 1.-THE widespread and contagious fe-
| yer for change or Encouragement
which seems to leave no phase of our
| peoples life untouched" He regards
it as also in some measure a retalia-
| ton upon American husbands for sur
| rendering themselves to business and
the pursuit of wealth and neglecting
| their wives. Left to follow their own
| devices, women have taken up club
life as a refuge from loneliness and
monotony. He denounces mans neg
| lect of woman as a "dastardly Of
fense," but thinks women who forsake
their homes for clubs only make their
| situation and their children's far
worse-Chicago Tribune.

chapel, was Blair's corps-the Seven
tenth. Ezra chapel was on the Lick
skillet road, leading into Atlanta. On
Blair's right. and still further to the
southwest. was Logan's corps. y The
three corps formed a crescent about
Ezra church. July 20 they began
throwing up breastworks and digging
trenches at once. 1t was a work both
armies were now well used to.
The Army of the Tennessee finished
their defensive works none too soon,
says the American Tribune. During the
forenoon already heavy firing was heard
on their front.
Hood was attempting another sortie,
the second from his works at Atlanta.
