The Milwaukee Sentinel gives the
following definition of the word
“gents”, which is worth remembering.
Says the Sentinel: “As to the word
‘gents,’ that is a good word, inas¬
much as it describes a class that no
other word describes. There are per¬
sons who are not quite gentlemen
and yet who are not altogether
boors; who dress as gentlemen dress,
though they are not of gentle breed¬
ing, and yet who do not belong to
the hearty, natural, genuine and un¬
pretentious sons of horny-handed
toil. They have rnouey and they are
loud, presuming and offensive to
gentle souls, and they claim to be
gentlemen. In respect of some things
they show indications of gentleman¬
liness, in respect of others they are
vulgar. The term ‘gents,' falling
short of the term ‘gentleman,’ is a
very good term to apply to them.'

Danger in the Match.
MOVEMENT TO GETRI1) OF THE
PARLOR FULMINATOR.
The Legislature to be Asked to Pro¬
hibit the Sale and Use of Parlor
Matches In Georgia.
“The general assembly should pro¬
hibit by law the use or sale of what
is known as parlor matches in the
state,” said an observing gentleman
to a News reporter.
The gentleman, who has recently
been in New York, took out his match
case, and, taking from it one of the
little black-head sulpher matches, re¬
marked, “These are the safest
matches, and the only kind permit¬
ted to be used in the New York hotels.
It will not flash up when tramped
upon. I believe the cotton fires are
largely due to the explosive match-
They are dangerous, and to their use
many of the fires at country gin
houses may be charged. Suppose
that a negro has a spite against the
owner of the gin: a parlor match or
two dropped in the gin, or hidden
away in the cotton will do the work-
When the match strikes any phrt of
the machinery in its passage through
the gin there is a flash, and the gin
house is in flames.
“The wharfmen at Savannah carry
these matches, and it is common to
see them loosely stuck in between the
hat and hat-band, or behind the ear,
as a clerk carries his pencil in the
counting room, or they are carried
loosely in the pocket. The match
drops on the dock, a bale of eottop
turned over on it will explode the
match, and the fire will communicate
to the cotton. It may blaze up at
once, or the fire may eat its way fh'to
the bale and break out on shipboard,
in the warehouse, or at the compress,
and every one wonders how the fire
started.
“There is talk of raising the iusur-
nnce.rates on cotton, or abandoning
risks at Savannah,” said the gentle¬
man, “if cotton fires continue. Ex¬
clude the parlor match, which is
dangerous wherever it is used, and
these fires will be less frequent. The
only way to exclude them is to make
it unlawful to buy or sell them in the
state.
“Sometimes when one strikes tie
parlor match theexplodingfulminate
will fly half way across a room, often
unnoticed, and muny of the fires in
stores and residences are to be ascrib¬
ed to the use of such dangerous agen¬
cies for striking a light.”
The chief official of one of the larg¬
est railroad systems in the south has
been informed that there is real
danger that rates will be advanced
on cotton going to Savannah if the
fires continue, and the opinion is
wide-spread that the parlor match
has had its share in the work of de¬
struction. The matter has been
brought to the attention of represen¬
tatives, with an appeal that an effort
be mad? to pass' a law before the
close of the session of the legislature,
prohibiting the sale and use of parlor
matches in Georgia.
A Little Girl’s Mistake.
Little Lizzie may not have made
such a mistake after all, when she
told her playmate that-mamma began' was
ever so much better since she
taking “Golden Medal Discovery.”
Lizzie meant Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med¬
ical Discovery, but many a restored
sufferer has felt that the discoverer
was worth of a golden medal. Better
than all the medals, is the conscious¬
ness that thousands oicases of Con¬
sumption, “Liver Complaint," Kid¬
ney Diseases, and diseases of the
blood, have been cutedby it. Lizzie’s
mamma was oneof a countless army
who have learned by experience the
virtues of the “Discovery" for diseas¬
ed livers and consequent impure
blood. It cures all Skin. Scalp and
Scrofulous Affections, Salt-rheum,
Tetter, Erysipelas, Boils and kindred of
ailments. It is the only medicine
its class, sold by druggists, under a
positive guarantee that it will bene¬
fit or cure in all cases of disease for
which it is recommended, or money
paid for it will be refunded.
