Mrs. Rorer, of Philadelphia, has beeu
heard from in some other capacity than
that of cook and kitchen maid. She has
expressed, regardless ot past favors, he r
opinion of southern women, to a re
porter of the Nashville American. After
the order of her kind, she has returned
the courtesy of southern women with
the criticism that ‘ ‘they are puppets and
pretty toys, absolutely worthless as far
as mentality is concerned. ’ ’ She in
formed the reporter who interviewed
her over the smoking saucepans and
steaming kettles, “that certain women
of the south were hopeless as conversa
tionalists, ” and much more stuff of this
degree of malignity and intelligence. The
pity of the whole matter consists, not in
Mrs. Borer’s opinions, which count for
nothing, in every community that she
has visited, but, that any southern
women ever wasted any time attempt
ing to make herself courteous, or intel
ligible to a woman who has evidently
stewed away whatever small amount of
grey matter she may have been born
with in her efforts to foist upon the recep
tive, credulous public, dishes and con
coctions that no biped was ever known
to eat, and still retain any claim to
health and Christianity.
* * #
Mrs. Rorer has flourished in Birming
ham; Mrs. Rorer has lectured in Bir
mingham; she has cooked here—stewed,
baked, broiled and above all else, Mrs.
Rorer vented a few of her unamiable
views of benighted (?) southerners in
this city, when she was being hand
somely remunerated, to give the women
of Birmingham lessons in the culinary
art. It has been suggested that the late
epidemic of typhoid fever was not due
as so many think to the pure transpar
ent, limpid water consumed by Birming
ham’s nelpless citizens, but to the effect
of Mrs. Borer’s lectures and cookings
last winter. The water is not always
clear, and to be sure fresh; it is not
always fragrant with the sweetness of
meadows, for it has the unfortunate
habits of greeting the early user with
odors that puzzle and alarm; yet it is
guiltless of blame, compared with the
death-dealing dishes originated and
propagated by this enterprising Yankee
cook. Mrs. Rorer cannot claim exemp
tion from the charge; she came, she
cooked, she talked and lo! giim, gaunt
fever followed in her wake. And ro
wonder,
« * *
It is certainly high time that south
ern women should cease to contribute
to the incomes of such females as Mrs
Rorer. She does not know as much .about
genuine good cooking as thousands < f
women in every part of the south. Cer
tainly, if the people are to be instructed
in the culinary art in the names of the
splendid housekeepers of the south who
have long since passed to their reward
let a southern woman give the lessons.
What they cook will at least be palata
ble, and not necessarily fatal, and the
manner of'giving their instructions can
be depended upon not to be insolent and
impudent. Mrs. Rorer was sufficiently
impertinent during her stay in Birming
ham last winter to have precluded her
being invited by any other southern
community to instruct ladies in the lore
of kitchen and pantry.

simply because the combination won'twork
A sick man is in very much the same fix
about getting at the nourishment he needs
to keep him alive. There is plenty of good
food at hand, but his digestive organism is
out of order; the nutritive “combination”
of his system won’t work. He can’t possi
bly get at the nourishment contained in the
food. He takes it into his stomach, but it
does him no good. It isn’t made into good
blood. He is just as badly off as if the
food was locked up where he couldn’t touch
it. He gets ho strength or health out of it.
All these raal-nutritive conditions have a
perfect and scientific remedy in Dr. Pjerce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It puts the nu
tritive “combination” of the system into
perfect working order. It gives the diges
tive and blood - making organs power to
make pure, red. healthy blood, and pour it
into the circulation abundantly and rapidly.
It drives out all bilious poisons'and scrof
ulous germs, cures indigestion, liver com
plaint, nervousness and neuralgia, and
builds up solid flesh, active power and
nerve force.
Mrs. Rebecca F. Gardner,of Grafton, York Co.,
Va., writes: " I was so sick with dyspepsia that I
could not eat anything for over four months. I
had to starve myself, as nothing would stay on my
stomach. I was so badlypff I could not eat even a
cracker. I thought 1 was goingto die. I weighed
oulv 80 pounds. I tried almost everything,
and nothing did me any good, until I took two
bottles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ lam
now as well as I ever was. and weigh 125 pounds.”
Birmingham women, for giving the
views of Mrs. Rorer. She should have
been exposed long ago, and other credu
lous southerners protected from her
money making schemes, and her'un
bearable insolence.
IN SMALL CITIES.
More Comfort And Happiness Than In B’g
Ones.
“The higher salaries of the larger
cities is, perhaps, what attracts young
men more potently than any other
factor,"’ writes Edward W. Bok in the
October Ladies’Home Journal, point
ing out * ‘Where Success Awaits Yonng
Men”—in the smaller cities. *‘Bol, un
fortunately,” he says, “as thousadds of
young men have found for themselves,
these salaries are not so high as they
were led to believe, nor will the city in
come buy as much in the metropolis as
they bargained for. A salary of two
thousand dollars a year in the big city
will not bring a young man the com
fortable living which one thousand dol
lars a year means to him in the smaller
community.
“With a far more moderate salary the
rising young clerk, manager or business
man in the small city lives like a king
in comparison to the man of equal posi
tion in the larger center. If <he earns a
thousand or two a year, he has his own
little home, by lease or purchase. For
twenty-five dollars per month he can
have his own pretty cottage, with God’s
pure sunshine on four sides of it. His
children have their own grasspot for
their playground. His porch is his even
ing pleasure and his Sunday delight.
Trees shade his street, cool his rooms,
and make living a comfort.
“His friends live all around him. He
Knows the man who lives next door.
His neighbors’ children are his children’s
playmates. His social life has a meaning
to it—it is a joy and an exhilaration to
him. When he goes out in the evening
it is into a home gathering where every
face is familiar, and where he is known
and welcome. He has time to read,
something which the man in the larger
city, whom he envies has not. His
church is to him like a family gathering
every Sunday morning. The man in the
pulpit is his pastor, who, perhaps, has
baptized him, married him, -and will
baptize and marry his children. Re
spected in his circle of friends, every
step of progress in his business is
known to them, and is tbe cause for con
gratulation. He is within easy walking
distance or trolley ride of his place of
business.
* To his wife his home is her joy, and
not her care. She has time for her chil
dren, her home, her social duties, her
reading and her church. Tbe blood of
health rushes through the veins of his
children as they sleep and play in an un
polluted atmosphere. Life means some
thing to such a man; it means happi
nes —the true measure of all success.”
Condensed Testimony
Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manu
facturer’s Agent. Columbus, Ohio,
certifies that Dr. King’s New Discovery
has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D.
Brown, Prop. St James Hotel, gt.
Wayne, Ind., testifies th't he was cured
of a Cough of two years standing, caused
by La Grippe, by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. B F Merrill, Baldwinsvlile,
Mass., says that he has used and recom
mended it and never knew it to fail and
would rather have it than any doctor,
because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming,
222 E. 25th St. Chicago, always keeps it
at hand and has no fear of Croup, be

Boxing, though better appreciated
now, was not so popular in the north
of England and Scotland as in the
south, not assuredly because the people
are either better mannered or less ag
gressive, but probably because the sci
ence was less understood. Sir Walter
Scott’s touching tale of the “Two Drov
ers” is a good illustration of this dif
ference of feeling on the subject, and as
long ago as 1790 a book was written by
a highland . officer with the following
curious title: “Antipugilism, or the
science of defense exemplified in short
and easy lessons, for the practice of the
broadsword and single stick, whereby
gentlemen may become proficient in the
use of the weapons, without the help of
a master, and be enabled to chastise
the insolence and temerity so frequently
met with from those fashionable gentle
men, the Johnsonians, Big Bennians and
Mendozians of the present day, a work
perhaps better calculated to extirpate
this reigning and brutal folly than a
whole volume of sermons. ”
It was precisely this feeling which
poor Robin Oig, Sir Walter’s hero, ex
pressed when his friend Harry Wake
field, with whom some words had pass
ed, suggested that they should have a
round or two and be friends. “Tobe
peaten like a dog,” said Robin—“is
there any reason in that? But if 1 am to
fight I’ve no skill to fight like a jacka
napes, with handsand nails.”
“How would'you fight, then?” said
his antagonist. “Though I’m thinking
it would be hard to bring you to the
scratch anyhow. ’’
“1 would fight with proadswords and
sink point on the first plood drawn,
like a gentlemans.”—National Review.

ALWAYS THE WALTZ.
In 8p te of The Dancing It Will Re-
main The Favorite.
And now comes tbe announcement
that the American Society of Professors
of dancing have decided to abolish the
waltz. The languorous strains of Strauss
and Waldteufel will no longer, as they
say, be heard in orchestration in the
ballroom. The piano organ will tingle
forth the martial music of Sousa; the
weird coon melodies of the gay and fes
tive air of a topical song, but the dreamy
waltz movement is to be relegated to
obliviont This may be the edict of these
learned terpsichorean artists, but never,
so long as time lasts and rhythmic meas
ure has power to enchant the mind and
body of youth; can the wsltz be wholly
abolished.
The popular two-step, with its romp
ing, merry spirit and go, appeals to
those who dance purely for the pastime
of it, but the halo of sentiment and ro
mance must forever endear tbe waltz
to those couples who find its undula
tions fully in accord with the kaleido
scopic environments of palms and per
fume, the froufrou of silken skirts, the
pressure of little pink fingers, and the
shadowed eloquence of downcast eyes.
Grim .chaperons in eagle-eyed surveil
lance can rest assured that their charges
are untrammeled by thought of aught
save the keen enjoyment of a merry,
trifling measure when the festive two
step calls the couple out upon the floor,
but the duenna’s serenity would be
shaken if she were to know just what
whispered words are prompted by the
dreamy, throbbing notes of the true
waltz. Promises may be exacted and
soft answers given in return,elopements
even may be planned the while the two
figures glide in perfect accord before the
vigilant yes of the careful chaperon.
waltz is the dance of love, of grace, of
harmony. When age has set its seal on
looks and limbs a man still tackle sit
valiantly, the spirit of a bygone youth
breaking forth afresh through the magic
of its witchery. He cannot resist its
sp 11, yet can look on unmoved by
polka or schottische.
Ah, no. grave seigneurs, in your seri
ous sessions you cannot abolish the
waltz with a light nod or a wordy ta
boo. It is the dance heirloom of all gen
erations. and as such will continue al
ways to appear on the program, and de
spire tbe fact that it is dubbed out of
fashion by the few it will always be in
fashion with many who cling to it alone
with other tender memories of vanished
youth or who glorify it with hopes of a
happiness to be.—Philadelphia Times.

Chai les Mathews had reached the al
lotted age of man before he played his
‘ ‘ farewell engagement ’’ in London. One
night there was an unconscionably long
“wait” in the performance of “My Aw
ful Dad. ” After the statutory ten min
utes had expired and the curtain show
ed no signs of rising one of the “gods”
vociferated, “Do hurry along, or else
Charley will be too old to act.” The
wit of the gallery is proverbial, and it
was never more keenly exercised than
on the first night of a London produc
tion some years since. The leading ac
tor—a well known man—took an uncon
scionable time dying and ladled out
the “lengths” with tedious elaboration.
Whereupon a voice from the upper re
gions exclaimed, “We hope we’re not
keeping you up, sir. ”

Gave Hint Another Chance.
A young man who had been two days
at the Ponce de Leon on what may ■well
be called a combination of business and
pleasure, since he was courting a mil
lionaire’s daughter temporarily residing
there, went to the clerk and asked for
his bill.
The clerk looked at the young man
carefully for a long moment, then made
out and handed over a bill for $238.
The young man did not stagger or
grow pallid. He tossed the slip of paper
back to the clerk and said: “Guess
again, you chump. I’ve got more money
than that. ” —New York Times.

In Norway, where superb coffee is

beans while they are roasting in the
covered shovel used there for that pur
pose. In France, as well, a piece of. but
ter the size of a walnut is put .with
three pounds of the coffee beans, and
also a dessertspoonful of powdered sug
