LoveridN & SONS. ?^ETTTTTTTTTTTT'fTTTTnTY7T7TTTTTTTTTTmTTTTTTU! §THE FEMININE OBSERVER.] The things we buy for nothing are seldom worth a penny more. Children rarely show any evi dences of economy, save in their use of soap. No mother ever thought the best woman living quite good enough for her son. It is easy enough running into debt, but you rarely get out of it at the same gait. Independence on the part of a woman is the surest death-knell to matrimonial love. The latest idiocy of the young mother is tell her friends how cute her baby breathes. Love is anything but blind, for it sees more perfections in the adored object than any one else is ever able to discover. If women would pay more at tention to their hair and less to their hats, the result would be in finitely more satisfactory. It rarely, if ever, happens, that a woman actually falls in love with a man the rest of the world thinks she should. A woman shows her real innate daintiness in preferring lovely un derwear to showy outside garments if her purse allows her extrava gance only in one. The woman who knows it all— have you met her ? If not, you are blessed beyond the common iun of mortals ; hut we imagine that the exception who has not come in contact with this trying individual is hard to find. She who is so all-wise is infinitely happy in her own conceit, and is not to lte shaken in her beliefs by the say-so of any one, no matter if the opinion at variance with her own emanates from a mind and judgment as superior to her own as the sun is to the arc light. Her yea is yea; her nay, nay ; and the laws of the Medes and Persians were vacillating and uncertain in comparison with her dictum. In society she can be tolerated, because she is at times over-pow ered, but in the home, where she has, by reason of her tyranny, made every one bend to her for years, she is absolutely intolerable. She knows everything from the way the biscuits should be baked to the manner of cutting the grass in the front yard. She downs her husband in political arguments, and though he knows he is in the right, he does not dare to assert his knowledge lest a regular pitched battle ensue, in which, after all, he would be worsted, for she con tends with sniffs, and clinches ar guments with personalities that make it preferable to give in in the first place. Her edict on dress is final; yet she is all too fre quently a dowdy herself. In fact, she is the embodied essence of self-satisfaction, though despite her assertive manner, she can never get any one to believe as she does, for even when she is right, her positive attitude makes others fail to agree with her simply because she rubs them the wrong way.

I Margaret Mather, the eminent American actress, died suddenly last week in Charleston, W. Va. Not a single mortgage has been recorded in Whitfield county in three or four years.—Savannah Press. Consul General Fitzhugh Lee has returned from Havana. His tour from Tampa to Washington was a triumphal one. From June 16th to 26th the Southern Biblical Assembly will convene in Knoxville, Tenn. One fare will be given on all railroads. President McKinley, it is noted, “ was made a mason in Hiram lodge, Winchester, Va., May 1, 1865, receiving his degrees at the hands of a confederate master of the lodge.” A SONG. If I were king, my wars skould be But wars of roses: The only shield that men should bear But one of posies; The only weapons ladies' eyes And laughter merry; The only province to wjn, Lips like the cherry— If I were king. If I were king, no eye should weep, No heart should break; Each warior should a lady wed For her sweet sake, And when my last campaign was done I’d cease to reign, And hand my scepter o’er to Love And join his train— If I were king. —C. C, B. The Savannah Press says: “The Candler papers insist that joint debates between Colonel Candler and Judge Atkinson would ‘hurt the party.’ But they are crazy to have Judge Atkinson and Mr. Berner ‘get together on the stump.’ Why is this ?” A Wonderful Discovery. The last quarter of a century records many wonderful discoveries in medicine^ but none that have accomplished more tat humanity than that sterling old household remedy, Browns’ Iron Bitters. It seems to contain the very elements of good health, ■nd neither man, woman or child can take without deriving the greatest benefit. 'Iron Bitten is sola by all ' CLOTHING Twice a Week. The Tourist Sleeping Car Line oper ated by the Southern Railway between Washington and San Francisco without change, via New Orleans, baa proven so successful that it has become necessary to make a semi weekly service, the west hound departure being on Wednesday and Saturday of each week. This sleeper offers sleeping car facili ties to persons holding first or second- class tickets, the berth rate being only $7.00 from Washington to San Francisco, Los Angeles or Portland, berth being large enough for occupancy by two peo ple, if desired, without extra charge. These Sleepers run through Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, and connect with similar cars for Oregon. Information in regard thereto may be had from any Southern Railway ticket agent, from Mr. A. J. Poston, General Agent, Sunset Tourist Excursions, 511 Penn. Ave. N. W., Washington, D. C., or from Mr. W. A. Turk, G. P. A., 1300 Penn. Ave. N W., Washington, D. C. May 31.
