A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of mysteries. is unfit to care for children; it ruins child's disposi- ton and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible tor her to do anything calmly.
 The ills of women act like firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration. ner. vous despondency, " the blues," sleep lessness, and nervous irritability o1 women arise from some derangemeni of the female organism.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying?
 Do you feel something like ball ris. ing in your throat and threatening tc choke you; all the senses perverted morbidly sensitive to light and sound pain. in the abdominal region. and between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy?
 If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration,

The Birthplace of Fashions.

The head of a fashionable Paris firm of costumers says. We have in Paris no fewer than 60,000 women dressmak- CTS. This is not counting designers, fit ters. models and the like, which would make the number something near 100,- 900. The more efficient women earn handsome salaries, The designers, for instance, born artists, who sketch out their ideas in pen and ink or with wa ter colors and often originate fashions that prevail throughout the world; the filters, women of faultless taste, to say nothing of tact and judgment, and the models. girls who must have beautiful faces and figures-all these are highly paid. Naturally the models are most difficult to obtain and to keep in ones employ. Some of the largest houses will maintain twenty or thirty, whose whole time is passed in trying on dresses before the eyes of the fashion able danes. They are too pretty to re- main with us long, and many of them make splendid matches"

The chapter manifested much interest in 1t, and will cheerfully as- sist. in this much needed work. Mrs. J. D.

 During the past year the chapter paid small stipend monthly to an old soldier who has a family and is not willing to go to the Home; gave a gold medal to the students of the, Southern University for the best oration on the Confederacy, besides smaller contribu- tions to the Home and $10 to the Shi- 10 monument in addition, through Mrs. Seeds individual effort material aid was given, in the name of the Chapter. to two deserving families of Confeder- ate soldiers.

 Mountain Creek, Ala. April ?. 1905.
 My sDear Mrs. Jones-The Hospital Committee of the Daughters of the Con- federacy met at the Soldiers Home on March goth. There was present the entire committee. Mrs. Gayle. Mrs. Kirkpatriek, Miss Beaumont. and Mrs. Frank Fillmore. The purpose of the meeting was to install Miss Milton Brown as matron of the Hospital. MISS Brown did not arrive until afternoon so the committee spent the forenoon putting in touch of spring time clean ing, laying mating in the nails. brightening up the china and glass and replacing old cutlery with new. The sick were visited and the needs or the hospital noted.
 Mre Gayle reported a night nurse engaged since February, and butter ana eggs furnished every week. There IS a pitiful want of little things TOT the sick. I gave an i'll consumptive man an orange and two days later he was still enjoying a fragment of 1t and nat ed to part with the rind. The want or a matron has long been felt. but it was difficult to find body qualified for the place. Miss Brown is the daughter oi A Confederate soldier and has had five years experience in nursing. She IS healthy, practical and kind. By plao- ing her Tn charge of the hospital the Daughters of the Confectionery have made a most excellent addition to the comfort of the Home.
 Dr. Fielder conferred with the com mittee and advised them In some mat ters He stated that there are eighty men in the Home and last quarter which included the most trying months there was only one death. There are ten inmates in the hospital and as spring advances they would find ham, raocks and large rockers on the veran das very conducive to health if they only had them.
 Mrs Fielder entertained the com mittee at dinner, spreading the table with good things and extending an old time hospitality. The committee ad- journed satisfied with day of good deeds toward the poor and sick sol iers of the Confectionery.
