MIW. CHAI1LK8 A. C0L1.IKK.
the still more pleasing faculty of saying
the right thing in the right place. She
dresses in excellent taste and is withal
a charming woman.
As viowed from the bloomer stand
point Mrs. Collier is not a "uew wom

an. " She is, however, splendidly edu

Influential eitiz"!! of Georgia, and was
married in January, 1875, to Mr. Col
lier. They have several children, one of

her . debut in Atlanta society this au

"Nirvana," said the businessman's
wife, who has taken to occulu subjects,'
"is a place where we see, fuel and hear
nothing. How to reach this peaceful
condition is the great question. "
"Huh I" replied hor husband, "if you
had been in business as long is I have,
you would know that it's easy. "
"How would you go about it?"
"I'd simply quit advertising."

AN UPRIGHT MAN.
There is cerlainly some slight feeling of
humiliation in being bent down and ob
liged to oreep along for fear of a snap in
the spinal column. It is suoh a plain show
of deoreptitude that we leel embarrasHed.
It li seen every day when lumbago takes
a good hold on a stitch in the back. There
is very little sympathy for one in suoh a
plight, for it is so well known that St.
Jacobs Oil will eure it promptly and that
neglect is the cause of so much disability.
Why not keep the remedy always 011 hand
and prevent suoh discomfort.

MISS POWER WAS A WINNER.
ha Ran Her Father Political Canvas,
but Doe Not With to Vote.
The new woman has many phases,
and the scope of her activities is broad
and constantly widening. In Mississippi
a bright young
woman has de
mon st r ated
marked ability
and tact as a po
litical manager,
successfully con
ducting a spirit
ed camp aign.
She is Miss Kate
t Pnwnr. and in
bus shown that
tier nnmfl is not
a misuomer.
miss kate M. power. 3!iBs Power is
the daughter of Colonel J. L. Power of
JackBon, Miss., the veteran editor of
The Clarion, which for many years has
been the official paper of the state of
Mississippi. Colonel Power was ambi
tious to become secretary of state. There
were two other candidates in the field,
and a hot campaign lay between him
and the goul of his ambition.
Early in the campaign Colonel Power
was takon seriously ill He managed to
direct his canvass for a few days from
his bedside, but steadily grew worse, so
it was impossible for him to do any
thing toward securing the nomination.
His prospect of got ting the office seemed
hopeless. His family feared that in his
weakened condition if be were defeated
bis life would pay the penalty. It was
then that his brave duughter came to
the front and took charge of his waning
canvass and heroically carried it to a
successful termination. She had lived
in the air of politics for years, as Jack
son is a city of politicians, and had
been for a time on the staff of The Clar
ion. She began by writing personal
letters to all of Colonel Power's and her
own friendi-:, unnonnciug his illness and
that she whs in charge of his canvass.
Then followed addresses to the men of
Mississippi, published in many of the
papers of the state, and finally she made
a personal cunvnus among the voters in
nearly all the counties, showing the tact
and shrewdness of a vetoran campaigner.
She directed the course ot her father'!
delegates in the convention and won
the campaign. The crowning marvel is
that Miss Power is a strong antisuffra
gist. Miss Power is a typical daughter or
the south. She is rather tall, with black
hair and large, lustrous chestnut brown
eyes, shadowed by long dork lushes, and
is an accomplished and attractive young
woman. She is the editor of a "review, ' '
the only one in the gulf states pub
lished by a woman.
The Isabella Coin.
Mrs. P. H. Palmer, president of the
board of lay managers of the World's
Columbian commission, has issued a
circular iu which attention ia called to
the Isabella coin receutly minted by or
der of congress. The coin is intended to
commemorate the fact that a board of
women was for the first time called by
the government to take official part in
the Columbian exposition and also to
honor the great Queeu Isabella, whose
portrait it bears. The cironlar further
states that the profit realized from the
sale of this coin shall be funded and the
interest employed to effect permanent
service to humanity. The price of the
coin is (1, and orders may be addressed
to the Murcbants' Loan and Trust com
pany, Chicago.
Tea Table and Tea Tray.
The most approved tea table this sea
sou ia square two wooden trays mount
ed on four spindle legs. The upper tray
has an oval aperture at either end, so
that it can be carried across a room with
ease. Such tables are to be found span
new at the furniture warehouses, but
those that are to be pioked up at the
brio-a-brao shops are valued much more
highly. They are not designed for their
present use, of course, and are, in point
of fact, queridora of the latter part of
the last century. Some pretty trays for
single or tete-a-tete sots are made in the
form of a three leafed ehnmrock. They
are mostly in copper, the teapot and
sugar basin of the same metal, and the
cups and cream jug of white eggshell
china.
Th Veil.
The first requirement in a veil Is that
it shall be of unstinted size, double
width, unless it is to be worn with a
very small bonnet, and a yard long, so
that it may be gathered up in generous
folda over the bat brim and pinned a
veil should never be tied well up at
the back of the hat A better fit and a
prettier effect are given by a littlecluster
of gathers directly in the middle of the
front It is to be hoped that women
will some time learu that veils figured
with sprigs, or indeed anything but un
obtrusive dots, are never becoming and
make them look, as a man was heard
to remark the other day, "as if their
faoea were covered with flies. " PWlv

Portable Railroad.
The French are experimenting with a
ingle track temporary railroad that can
be laid on a country road or across the
fields. They expect to use it in military
operations and in harvesting crops. The
barrows and cars used are on the bicy
cle principle, and they can be operated
either by hand or horsepower.

BAALBEC'S RUINS.
Thy Ar th Grand! MonnawaU of the
Put In th Orient
The ruins of Buulbeo, the anoient
metropolis of Syria, especially those on
the ' 'platform "where the tomplos stood,
are tho grandest iu the orient The
platform referred to above und npon
which the lurgost of the famous Baalbea
temples wero erected is au artificial
mouud about 80 foot higher than the
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the "wondorful city of the east. "
"A good idea of the immensity of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is kuowu that there are several
itoues in whut rumuins of their founda
tions which lire 00 feet long, 15 feet
wide and 13 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some of these
giant blocks of limestone were raised to
a height of 20 feot from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood npon the
artificial platform the Temple of the
Sun, the Temple of Jupiter and the
great circular temple. The first was 290
feet long by 1(10 broad and was sur
rounded byCoriuthiun columns of gran
ite 75 feet high and 7 feet 8 inches in
diameter. Six only of these immense
oolumns now remain standing. The
ruins of the, Temple of Jupiter stand on
a portion of the artificial mouud some
10 - feet lower thou that upon which
those of the Temple of the Sun are now
scattered about Its dimensions were
originally 230 by 120. The circular
ruin, almost as imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is suppoged to have been the
chief seat of the sua worshipers of very
ancient times. The giguntio blocks of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines of this ono most
famous circular temple wero so scatter
ed about by the eurthqnakes of 822, 975
and 1759 that its dimensions iu feet
cannot be accurately given. Theso three
temples and the platform npon which
they wore erected were once surrounded
by a wall which was a wonder within
itself, rauuyof the separate blocks which
formed it being 30 foet long, 15 feet
wide and 13 feet thick. "St. Louis Re
public. MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
A Simple Ceremony, but With It Come
the Dignity of Manhood.
Koreuu girls, according to Mr. H. S.
Sauuderson, after eujoyiug freedom till
they are 8 years old, are consigned to
the women's quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or 17 yeura Aftor marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her bus
baud. The boys, ou the other hand, are
taught that it is undignified for them to
enter the women's part of the house.
They never see their brides till the wed
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
ple. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man
ner befitting their new estata Then the
bridegroom mounts a white pony, which'
is led by two servants, while two others
on either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to the bride's
house, accompanied by his relatives. At
their destination they find a pavilion
erected in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose (the
Korean symbol of fidelity), which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced.
The bride, who has to cover her face
with her long sleeves, and the bride
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost tonch the ground.
This they do three or four times and are
then mnn and wife. A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartments of
her husband's home, where she is looked
after by her mother and mother-in-law,
while the groom entertains his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect
Marriage is the great event in a Ko
rean's life, for he then attains man's
estate. Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as a boy,
and has to maintain a deferential atti
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half bis age. Pop

GREAT MEN'S READING.
Franklin read all he could find relat
ing to political economy and finance.
Michael Angelo was fondest of the
books of Moses and the psalms of
David.
Da Vinoi read Pindar and thought
him the noblest poet who ever wrote in
any languuge.
Landaeer was a student of anatomy
and zoology, and mode collections of
books on these subjects.
Vandyke, the painter, was fond of
the "Decameron," and often in conver
sation quoted from its pages.
David, the French historical painter,
was a student of French history to the
exclusion of almost all other reading.
Tolstoi is said to have a large library
of sociology and to read attentively any
book bearing on some new social fad.
Addison's specialty was the history of
medals and coins, and he eagerly pe
rused anything treating of this subject
Shakespeare must have been an omniv
orous reader, for bis plays show odds
and ends of learning gathered from ev
ery quarter.
George I liked the German folklore
tales, but hated the trouble of reading
them. He usually preferred to have
them told in the form of anecdotes.
Burke always prepared for a speech
by reading everything he could find
bearing on the subject on which he was
to speak. He said that he generally read
"with a business purpose."
Gibbon read nothing that did not
have a bearing on his history, but every
thing be could find that, even remotely,
hail reference to his work. He said be
had no time for miscellaneous reading.

Football.
Woman seems now to have a task be
fore her tn which we fear greatly she
will fail. Report goes that female foot
ball teams will shortly cnutost in pub
lic, and the problem is now, ou the one
baud, to make tho performance grace
ful, and, on tho other, to not spoil the
game, Thoso who have witnessed the
modern developments of that noble
sport will probably doubt whether even
women will bo ablo to harmonize suoh
conflicting aims. Into this question we
will not miter. Whether tho real game
played by women is u graceful or a dis
graceful sight Mrs. Grundy, must do
cidu, and whether tho gaino played in a
ladylike tnuuucr is worth looking at
will doubtless soon be settled by the
polite frequenters of tho football field,
who, we are sure, will not be backward
