It is named Fairhope. Its origin was in Des Moines, Dwa, whence its pioneers came South sixty strong to demonstrate the theory of single tax. The colony owns 670 acres of land. has a law compelling corporations which avail themselves of, the services of counsel to attend to their interests before the State Legislature to file a statement of the disbursem*nts consequent on services.

HARRIS AND CARLISLE.
Though Politically Estranged They Remained Personal Friends. After Carliale had scotched the silver in writes Savoyard in the Courier Journal, Harris took command of the conference silver and forces. He called the Memphis set about gathering delegates. He showed a skill, an ability and force that were astonishing. His choice for President was Vice- President Steven HON, though he would have been content with Boies or Bland.
After Bryan made that stump speech in the Convention it WHA suggested to Harris that would ba the nominee. The fellow straightened 1 himself up and exelsimed: "Damn him: he's only a 82,500 man." After the nomination Harris retired to his Texas ranch in dirgust. He knew Bryan would be defeated. Senator Harris was a great friend of Carlisle, and last Saturday Car isle entered the Senate chamber for the first time since March 4, 1893, to attend the funeral of his old friend. Speaking of Carlisle, Harris said: "He is the most wonderful man I ever met.
His is the clearest head in the Union. His mind in one of these machines you see in like the hotels. Drop a question in the slot and out comes the answer." Carlisle pointed "when of Harris' friends to office, and the Secretary and tor came to the parting of the ways they par ed and remained so to the end. man ever did Isham G. Harris a favor in vain.
Of all the men in the South in 1861 Harris was the best firted for President of the Confeder-cy. Had he been chos. en history might have been very different. He would have been the of America. Bat the hand of God was in that mighty con and of history from 1861 est.
1865 every shows that page it was fore ordained that the North was to triumph. The battle the campaign was to the South; was to, the North, but Montmorency like Isham G. Harris might have changed the result. Good Argument Against Wearing Stripes. One of the greatest obj to the in present methed of dealing with prisoners most of the States of the Union attaches to the wearing of stripes.
As strange 88 i may seem, the uniforms worn by convicts exercise considerable in Huence upon their mental and moral condi ions, and the various prison reforms recently instituted do away with the wearing of stripes almost entirely. In Kansas the newly arrived convict is fitted out with a probationary, snit. If to lift himself in a higher be behaves well disposition be is permitted wi bin a while to wear a neat costume of gray, with cap and shirt to match. If he proves unruly or vicious he is put in stripes and set apart as a disgraced inmates of the prison. A Dahomey Solomon.

CAUSES OP INSOMNIA.
Badly Made Beds and Poorly Ventilated Sleeping Rooms. Probably more suicides and insanity come from insomnia than from any other cause; and yet it may often be easily removed. The very plicity of the reasons for is existence often directs suspicion elsewhere. It is readily unders ood that a man who has embezzled money, or who is under the stress of some aw'ul calamity, or who sac ually in the grasp of some deadly diseise, should be rendered sleepless; though even such a one might often sleep better than he does it he would only observe a few simple rules, But why peaceable, fairly healthy men and women, not in unusual eff ion, should be attacked by this insidious complaint, as they often are, frequently, baffl the doctors and puzzles the innocent souls of the sufferers themselves. Here are some of the reasons: In the firat place beds are 100 often uncomfortabie.
A motto of every housekeeper should be: Whatever else my house contains, it shall have comfortable bed-. They should be numerous enough Ho that each and every member of the family can have a bed to himself; the mattress should be of hair, on a woven! wire or other good spring foundation; and the cover eta should be light or medium weight wool blankets only, with more within easy reach. In the second place, balf the prople in the world Bot know the brd-room be ventilated. It need not have a gale blowing through it, bu, a it would be uncomfortable to sit for seven or eight hours awake in a room without change of air, so it in quite as bad, or worse, to He asleep in such a room. See that constant stream of fresh air geta into your sleeping room somehow.

You will wake up. You will find it bard to get to sleep again. The first you know you will have chronic insomnia. This leads to the third consideration which is, beware of the alcove. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
Three New York Hotels. At the Fifth avenue entrance to Central park stand three tall and olegant hotels which are of the very highest rank in New York and aro patronized by wenlthy and fashionable people. Atone of these hotols a little room on the seventh floor, with one window, two closeta and in one of them 8 stationary washstand, costa, with board for two, $11.50 a day; for one person, 88.50, and for two persons, without board, $6 a day. This 1a a small and cheap room. If a man and his wife want to live somewhat elegantly, they will have no trouble at all in paying $50 a day at elther of these hotels facing the park.
You get the luxury, however, the when hotel you descend to the lower floors and find that you pay not for your little room, but for the beautiful parlore, the comfortable lounging and writing rooms, the army of well trained servants always ready to attend your slightest wants, and all expecting a tip; the really good oil paintings on the walls by firat rate French artiste and the general air quiet, the whole place. landlord pays dignity and exclusivenes which pervades 000 a year rent for the hotel and has over 300 servants. The restaurants at these upper class hotels have prices which appall an teal man from the west. A dish of strawcoonom- berries costs 50 conte; three boiled potatoes are 80 cents; for few stalks of they charge 75 centa: any sort asparagus will cost you from $1.60 to $8.50, and the only merit you see in the whole scheme la that two can eat for exactly the same price 2N one. The custom of half portions 1a coming in, but this is of no use to ladies, for it is applied only in the cafes where the bachelors rosort.
It Is very diMcult in one of these fine restaurants to figure out any kind of full meal for less than $9, and then it will consist of very plain dishes.San Francisco Argonaut. The Japanese Student Cook. He WAN a Japanese student, Shasuka, fellow in chemistry of the Imperial university of Tokyo, who came to this kitehen to learn general housework.

His wan cheek flushed and his guid eye kindled as the mistress initiated him into the applied principles chemistry.
He did not know how to make broad, but he "wished to learn." The philosopby of the cooking range interested him deeply, but of its working he had all to learn. The dish washing and serving appealed less to his scholarly instincts, but still he 'wished to Mistress was scientifle, and with promising a pupil should have got on famously. The consciousness that her appliances were not all that a scientist could destre and the humiliation of disclosing to the distinguished stranger her makemethods and expediences proved painful; also it was taxing to teach that which experience alone had given her skill. She thought of several really good inventions for reducing the work to a tem which had been thrown aside because Ellen would not bother with them, and the possibility of working out the problem intelligently with Shasuka 28 associate took the form of Meanwhile the desire, must be fed and the house made comfortable. There was little time for experimenting.
Poor Shasuka fell into a treadmill of drudgery little befitting his personality, and the mistress, finding the new role too much, fell a prey to nervous prostration. So brilliant opportunity was lost, and Shasuka went, still wishing to learn, let us hope.American Kitchen Magazine. Bigger Than the Justice.

From them he sole fire, and and gave it to men. For this sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount Caucassus. and vultures were set upon him. They only ate his liver. This grew again as fast as it was pecked away.
Are his sufferings to be imagined Take modern interpretation of the parable. There is no cooking without tire. In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels become clogged they cannot dispose of the food that is given them. The impurities back up on the liver.
