GRANDM ANNA.

In words OF haunting melody
The poets all have sung
The praises of those distant days
When grandmamma was young.
They loved To dwell upon the times
or lavender and lace.
And how the crown OF snowy hair
once framed youthful face.
Today our search Is all In vain
For spectacles and cap,
Nor does she while away the hours
With knitting on her lap.
And so I would attune my Tyre
AS round the world has rolled.
Anc sing a still more bygone day
When grandmamma was old.

There is nothing so irritable to a cough
as cough Constant coughing Is pre-
cisely like scratching wound on the out
side of the body So long as It is con-
tinued the wound will not heal. Let a
person when tempted to cough draw a
long breath and hold 1t until 1t warns and
soothes every air cell, and benefit will
soon be received from this process. The
explanation simply Is that the nitrogen
which is thus refined acts as an anodyne
TO the mucous membrane, allaYing the
desire to cough and giving the throat and
lungs a chance to heal

gresham From Mem

Nashville, Tenn. June 4.-The
State Democratic convention adj
journed sine die at 2:30 o'clock Sat
urday morning, after having been
in session four days.
Entire harmony prevailed at the
finish, although the convention was
the most strenuous and he bitterest
that has been held in this State in
many years.
1t became evident, from testvotes,
that Patterson would be named on
the first ballot, and when adjourn
ment was reached the Cox forces
had about given up the fight.
On reassembling Friday night the
convention proceeded to the nominal
ton of candidates for Governor and
Railroad Commissioner. Hon. M. r.
Patterson's name was the only one
put in nomination for Governor and
ne was nominated by acc auiatior
amidst wild enthusiasm. Mr.. Pat
terson accepted the nomination in 8
brief and appropriate speech.
The Hon. H. H. Hannah was nom
mated for Railroad Commission or
the fourth ballot. He is at present
Adjutant General of the State.
The nominee for Governor is the
present Congressman from the Mem
phis district and is one of the most
prominent men in Tennessee and
an eloquent speaker. Ex-Gov. Robt.
L. Taylor, nominee for United States
Senator, addressed the convention
early in the session and pledged his
support to the nominee, whoever he
might be, and said he would stump
the State for him. The prospects
seem bright for the ticket at the
polls in November.

PntholIers by Joseph Conrad.

When an author can write as well as
Mr.. Joseph Conrad can, when in n story
after another he seems to be approaching
the point where he will attain the power
10 carry out the tale he starts on success
fully TO the very end, it is rather discourage
inu for his admirers to find him wasting
himself on descriptive magazine articles
such as are contained in The Mirror OF
the Sea- CHarpers). 1t is like Dickens try
ing his powers in the sketches by Boz
a stage that Mr.. Conrad seemed to have
put far behind him; or Mr.. Kipling per-
versely throwing art aside to howl the
praises Of the British Empire. OF course
even talented authors must live, but this
sort OF work is provoking.
There ia no lack Of the proper sea flavor
In these articles. Mr.. Conrad knows his
subject too we'll to slip up there. He takes
care. too, to provide enough incidents and
o,ocdotes to maintain interest in his de-
scriptions. Even these are miles beyond
the wishy-washy nautical stuff in the same
line turned out by Mr.. Bullen. But Mr.
Conrad provides a standard for himself
by including a story Of Corsican honor, in
which the sea plays only a minor part
as a strong contrast TO his scraps OF sea lore
and descriptions OF nature.

A Beautiful Book.

One Of the most charming and beautiful
holiday books that has appeared this season
Is The ChAteaux Of Touraine, text by Maria
Hornor Lansdale, pictures by Jules Guerin
Uhe Century Company. It should, il any
thing can, turn the American traveller away
from Paris and tempt him to seea bit OF real
France. Touraine, with its glories OF
medieval and Renaissance architecture is
easy to reach and should be as we'll known
in this country as it is to the English.
The text in books of this sort is often per-
functory, but here the author had all the
romance OF French history at her command,
and could not fail to be interesting. She
has told the stories that belongt to each castle
and palace with admirable ~clearness and
sympathy, as those who read the articles in
magazine form will remember, and her book
would repay reading. even II It were unac
c~ompanied by the pictures.
In his colored pictures, which are tri-
umphs Of artistic reproduction and as re-
moved as can be from the chrome like pict-
ures of the English colored books, M.
Guerin has caught the poetic side Of the
buildings he PAINTED. They are charming
as pictures and faithful besides. His work
is supplemented by q large number OF adj
mirable photographs Of generous size
Touraine has never been illustrated sc
well.
The page and the typography OF the book
are very handsome; the DeVinne Press die
the work. 1t is a book that persons OF taste
will want to have n to give.
