 Samuel also appears not to have been very gentle in his chastising of Mrs. Pepys, for he notes that on one occasion, in return for a sharp answer. he pulled her nose, and again that ''1 did strike her over the left eye such blow as the poor wretch did cry out. and was in great pain, but yet her spirit was such as to endeavor to bite and scratch me-"
 But Mrs. Pepys' complaints Of the lull- ness and loneliness of her life do not seem altogether well founded. Many pleasure parties are noted: visits to the theatre are freqpent and seldom a week passed without a dinner supper or chris tening the latter being a most popular festivity.
 But if Samuel was cruel to Elizabeth. she herself was not entirely gentle, for he notes that his wife struck him; that she pulled his hair, and that she threat ened him with red hot tongs. Mrs. Pepys died when she was only 29 years cf age. on November 10, 1869 and it Is said that the diarist sincerely mourned her loss, and proved the reality of his feelings by never giving her successor.

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T MARRY A DEAREST.

If you should be so unfortunate as to be well to look to 1t that he did not keep diary; at any event that he was not as clever a diarist as Samuel Pepys; and if he was, to make strenuous efforts to keep out of it's notice as much as pos sible.
 Samuel Pepys was an interesting figure in the latter part of the seventeenth cen- tury. and although he figured promi- nently in, connection with the British the writing of the most clever diary in the English language.
 An interesting part of the Pepys diary is that relating to his own domestic af- fairs. At % he married Elizabeth St. Michel. girl of 16. who was a we'll known beauty. She Is said to have been both clever and warm hearted, while Samuel was fussy. and pedantic and unfitted, save by general goodness of heart, to ma mage high-spirted girl; and the pages of the diary are full of bickerings and down. right quarreis arising out of trifles, the entries of which. though often amusing, are as often extremely pathetic.
 It is hard to discern as to just what led to most of the quarrels between the Pepys. He was always an admirer of women, and it may have been jealousy. His diary refers frequently to his indis- criminate kissing of the fair sex, and in this he never seems to have been mod est
 Pepys was a pretty regular attendant at church, and he seems to have enjoyed a good sermon: but his chief delight was to iooK about for pretty women. Thus, on May 26, 1867, he notes that he went alone

UNDERWOOD RALLY
 AT MOUNTAIN CREEK
Thomas A. Curry Addresses Soldiers and Visitors in Interest of
 House Leader

Mountain Creek, March 7-(SpeciaI.) )--A big Underwood rally took place here Fri day in the interest of Mir Underwood 8 candidacy for the Senate. The veterans at the Soldiers Home and a number of visitors were addressed by Thomas A. Curry. candidate for lieutenant governor.
 MT. Curry was introduced by Capt W. J. Bethune as orator of the day, and after stepping to the front of the stage Senator Curry let it be understood, in a single sentenced that he was, here today to further the interest and election of Alabama's peerless statesman, Oscar w. Underwood, to the United States Senate, and not to speak of his own candidacy.
 The speaker spoke of MT. Underwood s carly life in Alabama and his public life in Washington in unmistakable words of commendation. He was frequently inter- rupted with applause.

to St. Margaret's church, Westminster. and there, he says, did entertain myself with my perspective glass up and down the church, by which I had the great pleasure of seeing and gazing at a great many very fine women: and what with that. and sleeping. l passed away the time until thu sermon was done.'
 Although Pepys gave his wife much cause to be jealous, he was inclined, with out any cause, to be jaalous of her; and, from his own account, he seems often to have treated her in a very boorish man ner One would have liked to have read the ladys account of the constant little squabbles which occurred; but Pepys was not of the same opinion. for on one oc- cason. when he found paper which his wife had written on the t'disagreeables of her life," he burned it, in spite of her remonstrances.
 There are evidences in his diary that he was not as faithful to his wife as he should have been, and yet he says that he prayed fervently in his chamber that he might not fail again. He says, on De- cember 5, 1868, that he had resolved not to give any new occasion for his wife's jealousy, and he found great peace in his mind by reason of this resolution
 Aside from his other faults, Pepys was mean in his dealings with his wife, for he grudged her money while he spent lib- erally on himself. Yet he could be singu- larly generous at times. He gave s3000 to his sister, Pauline, as her marriage portion, and after quarreling with his wife because she had spent a little more than $5 on pair of earrings without his consent. he paid S400 for a necklace which he gave her.
 The modern wife will feel deep sympathy with Mrs. Pepys when she reads m the diary that upon casting up his monthly accounts on one occasion Pepys discovers that he is worth considerable less than the month before. in consequence of having laid out considerable sum in new clothes

The pastors of Birmingham have desig- mated today as Go-to-Church Sunday. On this day every man, woman and child within the confines of Birmingham is in- Nited to attend the church of his or her choice. It matters not what church one attends. The desire Of the pastors is that everyone attend some church today.
 The "go-to-ehurch" movement was started sometime ago in one of the large eastern cities. It's purpose was to get those who rarely or never yisited church to break their rule for one day by attending divine worship. The success that attended the initial trial of a go-to- church movement vas phenomenal and many other cities have since tried out The scheme with astounding success.
 That everyone in Birmingham will at tend church today is the hope of the pas tors of the city. That there will be a larger church attendance today than there has ever been in the history of this city is the general belief. The fol- lowing churches announce their services for today and all are cordially invited to attend any of the services. One might never attend again b'it to go today will help to make successful a movement that 3s really worth while The aneounce- ments follow.

MADAME ISE'BELL'S
 BEAUTY LESSON
LESSON XI-PART VII
 PHYSICAL CULTURE Make Exercise of SweeDinp

Sweeping can be made a valuable ex- ercise if correctly done. Do not dig the broom into the carpet, but sweep the surface of 1t with light. swift move ments, keeping the body poised al- ways on the balls of the feet. When carpet Is so dirty that this method vacuum cleaner on it, or have it taken up and shaken by men. Shaking heavy rugs is not woman's work.
 Stand Properly
 A great deal of housework must be done on the feet. Remember, that to rest heavily on them or drag them does ssot relieve but only increases fatigue. I have known women to do dance steps while dusting--an excellent Idea.
 While you are on your feet, stand properly; when it is possible to work sitting, do it. A high chair for the ironing board Is necessary part of the kitchen furniture Equally useful Is a comfortable, broad, low chair where with feet comfortably planted on the floor the housewife can pre- pare vegetables or do work of a like nature
 There is one lesson that I wish American housewives would learn from Europeans, and that is to do as much of their work as possible out of doors. Housework In Europe has far fewer conyeniences than is the case in this country, but those that do 1t are never too busy to take their work out of doors The housewife must remember that no amount of exercise within four walls will compensate for lack of out door life.
 Housework is hard work, but so long as it is within the measure of ones physical strength, it can be done with profit to ones physical we'll being The woman who sits down at the din ner table so tired that "she cannot eat has either been wasting her strength, or else her untrained muscles are not physically able to do the work asked of them. In either case, whether it is to gain strength or to use her strength more wisely, she needs some. amount of physical culture.

WHAT TO EXPECT
 OF YOUR LIBRARY
By CARL H. MILAN

Director Birmingham Public Library
 Public institutions generally have the regulations of being conducted on easy going lines that would not be acceptable in business house. Such reputation. if well founded. should be considered as no less serious than charge of misap- propriatIon of funds. The public has a right to expect that its public library will conduct its affairs in business like way.
 It should handle it's funds and account for them in way that cannot be criti- cized. It should spend it's appropriations economically and according to the best judgment of it's appointed overseers, the library board It should demand of its employees not only full time and regular hours, but interest and enthusiasm and public spirit. It should study the needs of the public and it's own means of filling those needs, to the end that all things may be so adjusted as to give the great est good to the largest number, with the least waste of time and effort on the part of the public and the staff.
