Graham Homer Reeder, George Young; Fifth ward, s. D. Rice, pr. VIII. Gregory. Brown Reeder, Sixth ward. w. c. Dowdy; Seventh ward, Will Lemay, J. F. Eastep.
 The only issue so far developed is that of amusments, certain element in the old council having been opposed to pool rooms and bowling alleys, the only places of amusement now of which the city can boast.

To w ash Cut Glass

The greatest care should be taken in the washing of cut glass. as 1t is so lia- ble to being broken. It should never be placed in very cold or very hot water. Warm water with soapsuds and ammonia should be used in the basin and brush Is necessary in order to get into the cracks and crevices where so much dirt accumulates. After thoroughly washing the pieces rinse in cold. clear water and wipe dry with soft cloth.

Books and Authors

''The Wife of Narcissus," by Amulet Andrews, which appeared seraly in the Saturday Evening Post, is now presented in book form. It is of unusual interest to southerners as the gifted authoress, Maude Andrews Ohl, is well known by Der splendid work on the Atlanta Con- stituton, and in the New York news papers as well. "rhe Wife of Narcissus" presents the unconventional literary cir cle of New York, of which the gifted Narcissus is the center; and in vivid con trast stands his charming wife, girl of wholesome sanity and graceful beauty.
 Arthur Stringer, whose attractive books, ''The Silver Poppy" "The Wire Tappers" and Phantom Wires" have been widely read, in his usual happy style writes 'The Under Grove,' which teens with excit- ing situations and nerve-thrilling action.
 For the last days of summer reading, a light, airy story, "The Cobbler," by Elmer A. Travis is commended. It is a good case of temperament" again, but not in petticoats this time. The hero is submerged in it, and Is mixture of the Bliss Carman and Charles r. Lum- mis style of man.
 No more beautiful writer of short stories ever wielded pen than Sir Gilbert Parker. The announcement that the dram atized version of his best volume, "Pierre and His People," will be pre- scented in Toronto on the 21st, under the title of "Pierre of the Plains" will be hailed with delight by those who iove these charming stories.
 Hamlin Garland is said to be collecting data in the far west for forthcoming book
 William Dean Howells, Mrs. Humphrey Ward and Israel zangwill have been en- gagged in a controversy on the woman suffrage subject recently. MT. Howells IS quoted as saying: Tn my opinion. suf- frage for women Is bound to come. There are many arguments against it, but no reasons"
 ''The Sword Decides" by Marjorie Bowen. the author of "The Viper or Milan" is another of those interesting TO- mantle novels the scenes of which are laid in Naples in the fourteenth century. The novel is founded on the story or Giovanna. the notorious Queen Of the Dark Ages, at whose court the corrupt luxury and magnihcance of mediaevai Italy were at their height
 Robert Ames Bennett has written two stories, tThe Blue Lagoon" and Into the Primitive the former bearing the touch of art, while the latter is little bit too primitive, being a poorly twisted yersion of Barrie's Admirable Crichton.'
 Among the fall publications will be volume of hitherto unpublished poems of Sidney Lanier. The poems are said 10 contain among other gems fragmentary part of a long narrative poem, mot yet hewn to the line of perfect form" while others are mere flashes of simile and unrhymed couplets."
 .'The Law of Force and Love" is the book which Tolstoi has been engaged upon of late months. the publication of which will add another memorable mile stone in the literary career of the great Russian.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

ness crowns the venture made by Louise of Saxony, when she renounced every thing for Toselli, the man she loves The Italians are firm in their belief that the Countess di Montignoso will never leave her husband, whereas the Germans seem to think she undoubtedly will. At least, so far she seems perfectly happy
 At a seaside village on the Adriatic, called Riminik, Signor Toselli and Louise reside It is said that it is no unusual thing to see the ex-queen hanging out dry with her own white hands, or sew ing on little garments, or carrying in her arms and amusing her baby to allow the nurse to have a sea bath.
 Simple meals, served by one maid, al- ways in the open air, are the order of the day; the morning is taken up in the sea, and the subsequent sun bath in the sand, which have turned this unique fam fly into gypsys; the afternoon Is devoted to music, reading, and saunterings along the country roads.
 Signora Toselll Is invariably dressed in white, and plain ot elaborate as the case may be, her gowns are always daintily fresh, her hair Is in a simple knot, and her feet are encased in-sandals Yes in sandals, her bare feet gleaming white in contrast with her sunburned hands and face.
 This idyll has only one drawback, the [ other bathers! They stand and form all most a ring while the bath is going on, and after it they lie about the sand SC near as to form a body guard All day they spy at the house, until the Toselli |. couple feel desperate, and threaten to call in the police. Remonstrances have no effect; a Queen is made to be looked a Nand the heanh is free all I,l

To Keep Frocks White

Chiffon gauge fine muslin, or satin frocks of white, often from hanging in grayish tinge which is decidedly ugly. To send them to the cleaners Is not only expensive, but once a frock is cleaned 1t catches every particle of dust that Is in the atmosphere. To avoid this a good idea is to make a big, loose bag for each frock. Those of lowered cretonne. silk aline, or any cheap remnant on the bar gain counter, are not unsightly and are an excellent protection to one's good clothes.

A Liberal Education.

That man, l think, has had liberal
education who has been SO trained in
youth that his body is the ready serv-
ant of his will and does with ease and
pleasure all the work that as mechan-
ism it is capable Of; whose intellect is
a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its
parts of equal strength and in smooth
working order, ready, like steam en-
gine, to be turned to any kind of work
and spin the gossamer as we'll as forge
the anchors of the mind; whose mind
is stored with knowledge of the great
and fundamental truths of nature and
of the laws of her operations and who,
no stunted ascetic, is full of life and
fire, but whose passions are trained to
come to heel by vigorous will, the
servant of tender conscience; who
has learned to love all beauty, whether
Of nature or of art, to hate all vileness
and to respect others as himself
Huxley.

ifold passion are imprinted to fade and
go almost before the sun rises over the
dead. The consequences of the great
est career are of little duration in the
vast comparison of things, and after
all of what avail is it to strive and en-
ulate, to sorrow and to joy, to travel
along blood-stained trails of suffering
to set in serene ecOntentment. Where
is the recompense of conservation,
where the glory in pomp and power.

Conclusions arrived at from false
premises are untrUstworthy and should
not be given, countenance for mo-
ment, but like Banqno's ghost they
will not always down but have the un-
pleasant habit of coming to the sur
face and there remaining, taking issue
with every logical proposition that pre-
sents itself. 1t is law of evolution,
that in progress of all kinds new growth
and new species must be propagated
from the old and Gisnsed; that the de-
cayed and rotten must be used as fer
tilizer to the new and living. So with
our idols, the false and Improbable
should be eliminated and made to
serve purpose in the erection Of bet
ter designs. 1t might be well to re-
serve space in our national museum
for the storage and display of the rel
les Of some of our shattered idols that
they might be warning and an, in
spiration to succeeding generations.
Prior to the year 1892 there seems to
have been only one man who discred-
tied the prevalent idea relative to the
shape of the earth, and man-like he
persuaded woman to share in lis un-
belief. These two people shattered an
idol that was hoary with age. Hats
off to Columbus and Isabella! "Dis-
tance lends enchantment to the view,"
sings the poet. Not SO with our theo-
ries and opinions; they are beautiful
and enchanting only when near. Once
away from them, even short distance,
they sometimes become spectral, al
most hideous.
4 Individuals or parties deeply i'm
bued with the idea that they can re-
form the world by proceeding along
certain we'll defined lines and apply
ing principles which they "know" to
be true, never abandon that belief un-
til they attempt to demonstrate it.
All beliefs are idols that are wor-
shipped in proportion to the hold they
have upon us. That they are often
broken, both Intentionally and unin-
tentionalIy, and strewn to the four
winds no one will deny. This in many,
perhaps in most, cases should he so.
The wise occasionally change their
views, two other classes never do
fools and the dead. Inasmuch as we
, follow and obey our beliefs they are
our real masters, we never theirs.
1t is certainly consolation not a lit
tie to know that at intervals we change
masters, and to this end we should
strive, that each succeeding one shall
: be better than its predecessor. All
isms and ologies however fallacious
! have adherents, the majority of whom
+ no doubt, are sincere, who continue to
} bring their offerings to the altar thru
: pure motives, wholly unconscious OF
being inthralled by fallaciOus dogma
? AS there can be but one true prin.
? ciple it necessarily follows that all
: theories, beliefs and practices unsup.
ported by 1t must sooner or later fall
: of their own weight. The question
