Comrades, the bare mention of the fact that our re unions are growing smaller each year, when we shall look upon each other’s faces for the last time in life, is in part sufficient admonition for you to attend, but in aldition to that, remember that Kentucky, our host on this occasion, is entitled to that attendance that will show to them our appreciation and re collection for the sy mpatby and fidelty they so freely gave us in the trying days of 1801, Bemember, comrades, you will be on review in the grand city of Louisville, in the state that gave to the world the strong character, the bril liant mind and noble patriot, Jefferson Davis; you will also be the guest of the state-tbat gave to the South in her trials the brilliant spirits of -Breckinridge, MiSrgan, Moorhead, Boger Hanson, righlmaD, Preston, Underwood, Lewis Cofer, Caldwell, Wickliffe, Burnett, Humphrey, Marshall, ‘Buckner, Basil Duke and last, but not least, Ben Har din Helm and a host of others who fought and died for Kentucky's pride and the South’s honor. Bear in mind, comrades, that there will be a com mendable but pleasant rivalry existing, as this is the first grand reunion since our state has been divided iuto brigades, and it is the ambition of your Brigadier General that the North Georgia Brig ade, U.

A cheap remedy for conghs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What sballyoh do? Go to a warmer and more regular cli mate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Bosehee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the t^sues to destroy the germ disease, but allays in flammation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good night’s rest, and oures the patient.

A rector writes from Houlton, Eng land, to The Spectator to record an in stance of a very high order of intelli gence in an animal, of a power of rea soning as distinct from any acquired instinct: “I have a bullpup, aged 10 mouths, and a bulldog 4 years old, both of which live in the house and are greal pots. A short time ago my wife was ill, and, though the older dog, owin; his quiet and sedate way, was allowed to enter her room, the puppy was nev er admitted. The nurse could always tell which dog was at the door, because tbe older dog gave one single and gen tie scratch and then remained quiet, while the puppy scratched violently and frequently and whined. The puppy apparently could not understand why she was not admitted, and felt her ex clusion sorely. “One day she scratched furiously as usual. No notice was- taken. Present ly she was heard going flop-flop down stairs. In a- few minutes the single gentle scratch of the old dog was heard, the door was opened, and there were both dogs, and, strange to say, from that time the puppy so Imitated the scratch of the other dog that it was Impossible to tell which was at the door. Undoubtedly the puppy went and asked the old dog to show, her how he gained admission. How else can one explain the fact?” Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic is the most wonderlul healing compound offered to the public. For abrasion of the akin, laceration of the flesh, burns by flume or steam, hot metal, rope burns, or sun burn, ring-worm, “poison oak,” etc., it is pre-eminently superior to anything. One fair trial will convince the most skeptical.

Mr. Miles', ask ed for an Increase of salary. “Do you need any more money?” asked Mr. Huntington thoughtfully. “No, sir, I don't exactly ueed it,” re- Tes! L'i;, still. I’d be glad to be getfjUk r »CTi"le more.” “Ah—hiiui-nidn.” mused his employ er. “Can you get along without the advance fot the present?” “Oh, yes,”'auswered the secretary, “I guess so.” and the matter was drop ped. A couple of years later a new boy ap peared at the Miles home, and the sec retary thought the time propitious to renew the application. “Why, my dear sir,” said Mr. Huntington when he Llghtlnff a Cigar. According to an observant Philadel phian whose business is to sell cigars, the careless smoker is largely respon sible for tbe big dividends match man ufacturers enjoy. “Just watch it any time,” he remark ed a few days ago, “and see if I am not correct. The average smoker of a cigar will talk or think regardless of his weed until it goes out Then he will suddenly discover the absence of the fire which makes a cigar enjoyable. Out from his pocket comes a match, and in an instant it has been struck and tbe lighted lucifer placed against the cigar end. “In his eagerness to get another light, however, the smoker has, in nine cases out of ten, forgotten to knock the ashes off his weed. As a result the flame from the match fails to pene trate the ash heap, and the match flame doesn’t cut any figure. I’ve seen it so many times that I don’t laugh at it any more, but it miist be .funny to casual onlookers. After this when your cigars go out before they are consumed be sure and knock the ashes off before trying to relight them. Then you will stand a fair chance of securing another light and at the same time ppt a kink In the profits of the matchmakers.”— Philadelphia' Inquirer. Mine. Patti's Substitute. To some persons a poor singer may be better than no singer at all. but tbe least musical person cannot fail to per ceive the- irony of the situation de scribed below: Once when traveling in. the north of Ireland, an Englishman of letters chanced upon a small town which, to his surprise, he found extensively filled with announcements of a concert at which Mme. Patti was to appear. The price of admission to the back of the hall being the extremely moderate one of threepence, he hastened to se cure a seat. After a long interval of waiting, the manager stepped forward, remarking: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to say that Mme. Patti is unable to ap pear tonight. In order, however, to save-you from disappointment, I have arranged that Miss Arabella Jones of our town of Ballyslaekguthery shall favor you with a song!”—Youth’s Com panion. — ‘I never heard anything about it,” said the secretary in amazement “Probably not.” returned Mr. Hunt ington. “In fact, I used that money to buy a piece of property for you. I’d just let it stand for awhile if I were you.”. Mr. Miles thanked him warmly and retired somewhat mystified. Shortly after Mr. Huntington called him into ills private office. “By the way. Miles,” he said, “I have sold that real estate of yours at a pretty good advance. Here is the check.” " ' The amount was $50,000.

The custom in naming children in Japan is for tlie-parents on the tljjr- teenth day after its birth to take the child to the temple they attend, and- the father gives three names' to the priest, who writes eacli on a piece of paper. These are then sliuflled about Tith certain incantations and thrown up in the air. The first that falls is the one chosen. This is then written by the priest od a consecrated piece of pa per and given to the child's parents to preserve. The child then receives' cer tain gifts, two of which are important.

SOCIETY KLEPTOMANIACS. They Purloin Articles of Virtu Front the Homes of Oilicinls. One of the leading jewelers of the capital was somewhat taken aback one day, says a Washington paper, by re ceiving from the wife of a high official an order_for half a dozen gold nails with a jewel in the head of each and a dozen small gold chains. He inquired the uses to which the nails were to he put, when his patron said: You see, 1 have a number of very valuable-objects of art, which,: al though they are very expensive, are very small and easily handled. As the wife of an official of the government, I am obliged to’open my house during the season to the constituents of my husband and the Washington curiosity seeking public in general. On my re ception day, therefore, my house js crowded with all sorts of people, and last winter I suffered the loss of sev eral of my most valuable treasures. I have long been trying to devise some plan by which I can keep my objects of art outside of my cabinets and yet not have them stolen, for that is the only word 1 can use in regard to the loss of my treasures. I have concluded that I must either nail down some of the bric-a-brac or chain it se curely to the table, anil hence I am go ing to try this, remedy. That is why I want these nails and'chains.” This woman's predicament is not an unusual one in Washington official cir- cles. The kleptomaniacs who commit the most aggravated depredations are for the most part well known leaders in society. One winter social circles jn Wash ington were greatly bewildered and shocked by the doings of one of the best known women in official circles. A number of hostesses began to miss valuable doilies from their dinner ta bles after they had given luncheons or dinners, and finally several of them got together and compared notes, and sus picion fell upon one of the women who had been the guest at luncheons given by those gathered at the confer ence. Finally the wife of a prominent dip lomat determined to stop the raid upon the doilies, and at the next luncheon she seated the suspected kleptomaniac next to her. When the doilies were brought on. she watched her guest and discovered that the latter laid her doily on the table and, carelessly dropping iier handkerchief over it, picked up both. The hostess, in a most charming manner, turned to hor guest and said: Pardon me, my dear Mrs. . but am afraid you have my most ex quisite doily in your handkerchief. It so fine 1 am afraid it will be crush ed and . therefore call your attention to your inadvertence in taking it up with your handkerchief. The guest was not in the least abash ed, and with a laugh she shook, out her handkerchief, jmd the doily fell back on the table, whereupon she exclaimed: Why. dear me, so I have! How very careless of me!” There were significant glances all around the table, but no more doilies ere lost during that season.

Said to Be a Survival of Babyhood Tendencies. Hiram M. Stanley advances a new explanation of the tendency to open the mouth iu surprise and astonishment Darwin ascribed this tendency to the intuitive desire for quietness and ef fectiveness of breathing and to mere relaxation of the muscles. Mr. Stanley finds a deeper organic reason—namely, that the open mouth is the attention sign, and, is a primitive and constant reaction with the young of many ani mals for the reception of food—for ex ample, with birds. Any sound or other stimulus immedi ately causes the young bird to extend its mouth. With young infants the same Influence has often the same ef fect The mouth of the infant under such stimulation usually assumes the sucking form, and its smile when the finger is pointed at it may be either nascent or degraded sucking. Mr. Stanley maintains that the com mon and highly useful tendency of the very young to open the mouth to all stimuli, visual, a lira 1. etc., continues as a survival in after. life, being especially brought out with stimuli of high inten sity and unusual quality and thus be comes a mark of surprise and astonish ment. It is a habit very common among boys and girls to open the mouth under any attention. The rise of smiling and laughter as connect ed with wit and humor—at the basis of which lies surprise—thus declares it self as a kind of attention expression. Assuming that the primary expres sion of tiie mouth is a feediug expres sion and that this probably has been modified and evolved iu connection with a variety of attention phenomena, Mr. Stanley suggests that it would be worth while to make a detailed study jofrggpresslon in infants and young ani- We make the goods, consequently are the people for you to see when in need of Bedroom, Parlor and Dining-room Suits, Iron and Brass Bedsteads, Side boards, Chiffoniers, China Cases, Hall Racks,Tables, Chairs, Rockers, Mattresses, New Home Sewing Machines, Stoves, Ranges, Window Shades, Carpets, Rugs, Matting, Couches, Lounges, Desks,Wardrobes, Etc.
