Good Work Requires Good Eating.

You cannot do good work unless you
eat good food.
That does not mean fancy cooking,
but nourishing soups, brOiled meat,
fresh vegetables and fruit.
The girl who saves in lunches, going
without or else eating sandwich or
a piece Of pie, is merely laying up trou-
BILE for herself. She may be saving
money just now, but she is wasting
strength which is worth double the
amount. She is diminishing her earn
ing capacity and laying up for herself
a serious illness sooner or later.
Don't do it, girls! 1t doesn't pay.
Make study Of food values aud feed
yourselves with the same care you
would bestow on the nourishment of
some valuable animal. Forgive me for
putting it in these words, but that is
the only way to bring it home forcibly
You would not give everything to a
valuable horse or dog, would you?
You would pay some attention to it's
diet. Well. then, why don't you be
careful Of your own digestion, for di-
gestion means health. and put 1t before
everything else?
1t will repay you in the end.
Who says wOmen's clubs do no prac-
teal good7
The spreading Of consumption and
other diseases is directly traceable to
the public drinking cups. Now that
wOmen's clubs are taking an active in
terest in sanitary matters the drink
ing cup in the public schools will soon
be thing of the past.
Fountains are being installed where
no cup is needed at all. The child
drinks directly from jet of water
In other places the teachers see to it
that each child brings its own cup
from home.
This is the sort Of good that club
| women do.
1t shows yon that women are need
| ed In the government Of a great city

One of the marine curiosities fished
from the bottom of the Indian ocean
by a dredging vessel chartered by the
Calcutta Society of Natural History
was a mammoth sea crab. which con-
tinually emitted bright white light.
similar to that seen in the spasmodic
flashes of phosphorescent luminosity
kindled by the common firefiies. The
oddly was captured in daytime and
placed in a large tank. nothing re"u!-
lar except its immense size being no
ticeable in the broad glare Of the
tropical sun. At night, however, when
all was in pitchy darkness, the crab
surprised the naturalists by lighting
up the tank so that all the other sea
creatures, great and small, occupying
the same tank could be plainly seen,
When the luminous crustacean was
prodded with pole he emitted flashes
of light, which enabled the expert
mentors to read small print, even
though otherwise they were in total
darkness.-I4ondon Chronicle.

MRS. LINCOLN IN SOUTH.

Civil War Started.

Admission. Ala, Feb. 13.-Apropos to
the Lincoln centenary, it will be
an item Of interest to publish this
statement Of an old man. Said he:
was at Selma. Ala, In December,
1860, l believe it was, when the news
dig secession of South Carolina was
received. There was a great celebra-
uon on the receipt of the news. and
numerous canno shot were fired across
the river. l don't know whether Mrs.
Lincoln was there at that time or not,
Du' "nen we returned We met at the
Zee House In January, 1861, and while
mere Mrs. Lincoln and her sister,
MISS Tod. were pointed out to me by
William Randolph, brother of Judge
u. T. Randolph, of Admission. She
was tall, stately woman. and was
IN" center of attraction at the hotel -
Judge Randolph stated that the prob
able cause of Mrs Lincoln's visit to
Selma on this occasion was to attend
the ante-nuptial events attending the
marriage of her sister to Colonel n.
n. II. Dawson of that city, who was
a1terWard United States commissioner
OF schools under President Cleveland.
In this connection it will be an in
teresting feature, by way of showing
now families were divided at that
Tune. to state that the brother of
Judge Randolph enlisted under the
Confederate cause and was killed at
gettysburg. while Randolph, who was
living in Kentucky at the time, joined

The Countess de Poitiers, bewitch-
ingly beautiful, a member Of one of
the most exclusive families Of the
French nobility. has abandoned the
court and all social distinctions and
has become a circus rider. The odor
Of the tanbark is preferred by her to
the lights and the rustic Of high So
ciety. She is an expert horsewoman
and is infatuated by the applause Of
the cosmopolitan multitude. She is
graceful acrobat on horseback and has
astonished the capitals Of Europe by
her daring acts. The Paris elite ap-
plaud her when she is in the ring and
censure her numerically when the
show is over. She is wealthy. and to
show that it is a pleasure for her to
appear in the circle she distributes her
