What II Costs TO be a Bridesmaid.

Washington correspondent Of the Hartford
Comm Evening Post. Lately u lady
hearing another ask her daughter If she was
to DO an attendant Mt certain wedding,
promptly answered No; am tired of pay
ing ut least 300 for the dress she wears
wherever she is a bridesmaid. She has
bought dresses for that purpose seven times,
and that is enough OF coursea handsome
present is always given bya bridesmaid to
the bride, which adds considerably to the
cost of her attendance on her friend. The
best man at some weddings is forced to
pay out good round sum for bouquets for
the bridesmaids. know of one instance
where young gentleman, who could i'll af
ford it, was told that he would be expected
to present each Of the twelve bridesmaids
with bouquet of rosebuds. There were
no groomsmen at that wedding, and only
six ushers, so the unfortunate best man,
after he had accepted the post, was coolly
told that he would be required to provide
the round dozen Of bouquets"

Vanden Nest announced this week She
was the daughter of Gen. Taylor, of the
regular army, who was brother of Zach
airy Taylor. She has had n singular career
She was only about thirty-tiye years old.
Her father was COmmissary General until
his death, after the war. She was the grand
daughter of the late Judge Mclean, Of the
United States Supreme Court, and ut sew
enteen married Colonel Kingsbury, who in
about year later, was killed at Antietam A
few years after she married General Law
renee, also of the army, with whom she
lived several years. He was son of Gov
ernOr Beach Lawrence, of Rhode Island,
and obtained divorce two years ago from
his wife, who had eloped with Mr.. Van den
Nest, of the Belgian Legation. General
Lawrence fought a duel with the latter in
Europe, who acknowledged his guilt by fir
ing in the air, so wounded honor was APP
peased without bloodshed. After General
Lawrence obtained his divorce his wife and
Mr.. Van den Nest were married. They
lived for two or three years in Paris, but
few seem to have given her social recogni-
ton. She died in Egypt, whittier she had
accompanied her husband. Her son by
her marriage with Colonel Kingsbury has
been living in New York with relatives for
several years, having left his mother after
her desertion Of General Lawrence.

Winter on the Ocean.

There are a large number Of overdue
steamers on the ocean and fears are enter
tanned for their safety. The Silesia sailed
from Hamburg November 10, and from
Havre November II, with a fair list of cab
in passengers and 934 steenge passengers,
arrived in New York on the Goth. From the
second day out until Friday, the vessel had
to battle against adverse gales and seas OF
unusual violence, but arrived in port with
out sustaining any injury. There was n
succession of eastern gales, which ON some
days were stronger than others, and heavy
seas broke over the bows with great force
sending great volumes Of water clear over
the ship. The weather was so severe that
il became dangerous for any one to remain
on deck. Hence all the passengers re-
NAMED below until the storm abated.
Meals were furnished promptly and abund-
antly as circumstances would allow. The
steemge passengers said they did not think
many times that meals could be cooked, but
they were furnished regularly, even in the
worst weather. Day after day the vessel
plunged heavily into great seas, and il
seemed az IL she must succumb in time.
The engines were slowed down, however.
and every precaution was taken that the
ship should not be strained. 1t was i'm
possible for any one to sleep during some
of the nights.

A DISGUSTED ENGLISHMAN.
What lie Says Of American Tobacco Chewir

What lie Says Of American Tobacco Chewing.
An English writer named Saunders, has
lately published book of travels in Amer
ica, entitled Through the Light Continent"
in which he speaks as follows concerning
an American practice:
II would be impossible TO convey to En-
glish readers any idea Of the extent to which
the chewing Of tobacco and the filthy habits
to which it gives rise are prevalent in the
States. "The first day that spent in New
York called upon agentleman whose name
is known through Europe as q railway mag
nate of the first magnitude. A chair was
placed for me about three feet from his own,
and noticed that between US was hand
some china vase. As my friend asked per-
mission to finish note, l contemplated this
vase from the outside and became doubt
full whether this vase was the American sub
stitute for a waste paper basket, or wheth-
er the owner was lover OF old china and
always kepta specimen by his side. On
the note being finished he turned, AZ l
| thought to speak; but before doing so he
poured cascade of brown fluid from his
mouth into the vase, followed by the re-
mains Of an enormous quid; and it was not
until this operation had been completed
that the gentleman was able to proceed to
conversation.
"But my experiences at New York were
mild compared with what found further
West. At Chicago the floor of the Exchange
was entirely covered and quite slippery with
discharged mucus and saliva, mixed with
chewed tobacco leaves. Ona raised platform
stood number of leading members engag-
ed in making bids. They appeared to be as
close together as they could stand, but this
did not prevent them from discharging
streams Of saliva from their mouths, which
poured down quite close to the coats Of their
neighbors. The Corn Exchange at Kansas
City is not crowded like the Exchange at
Chicago, and was admitted to it Just after
the conclusion of sale. Seats had been
placed for the purchasers, and it was easy
to discover exactly how many seats had
been occupied by the pool of saliva
discharged by each visitor during the
short period he was present. At
public meetings l constantly founda stream
of saliva pouring down close to my coat
from the lips of a bystander, and if pause
occurred in the DISCOURSE instead Of the
traditional pin. you heard saliva pattering
on the floor This is by far the greatest
scourge Of American life. In travelling it il
impossible to escape from it, and although
perhaps it is not so constantly seen in pri-
vate houses, found some cases in which
men did not hesitate to eXpectomte on their
own or other peoples carpets. The loss of
national health and strength resulting from
this practice must be enormous, and pro-
badly the money value Of the waste of saliva
in the States is greater than the annual in
terest Of all the national debts in Europe.

A Half Tahitlan Beauty.

The half caste women are lovely-bru-
nettes. Of course; but such eyes, such teeth,
such hair, such figures, such complexion!
They are interchangeable rs dancers. TWEEN
ty-minutes' spin Of galop or waltz without
stopping is nothing to them, and this with
the thermometer at 80 degrees. They dance
very WELL but afteran exaggerated Valentine
or Mabille manner, evidently learned from
the French officers. No fiattery il too plain
ly expressed for them. One young lady,
the daughter of an American trader and q
Tahitian chieftess, particularly remember.
She was very tall, with figure absolutely
perfect, and face that would justify q
dream Of Semiamis. A young English
officer was ''trotting her out' for the amuse-
ment of his comrades. When he told her
that she should go to Paris, whore her beauty
would create Juror, she was greatly de-
lighted; but she replied with laugh, "But
you know am Tahitian, and very proud
of it. II went 10 Paris should want to
eat raw fish, as We do here" This was
quite untrue, but the answer was very char
acteristic of Tahitian half -castes. Tinsley 8

hope.
From the London Temple Bar.

FROM tne lOnuOu Dur.
While at Walmer, in 1903, Mt the moment
that a French invasion Of this country from
Boulogne was expected, Lady Hester had
met Gen. Sir John Moore, then stationed ut
Sandgute. The General was not only fore
most in his profession, but handsome in
person and winning in manner The two
met constantly ut reviews held on the Kent
ish coast, and the friendship thus begun
seems to have ripened into warmer feel
ing on both Sides Her official life, with its
various excitements, being over, all Lady
Hester's interest, next to the welfare OF her
brothers, was conferred in the career Of
Moore, who, at the commencement Of the
Peninsular war, was appointed to COM
mand in Spain. An interesting letter which
he wrote her from Salamanca, in November,
1903, has been preserved. In 1t he speaks
in the following Responding tone, OF his
prospects against the French, who vastly
outnumbered the English forces, and their
Spanish allies: "We are in a scrape, but
hope we shall have spirit to got out Of it.
You must, however, be prepared TO hear
very bad news. The troops are in as good
spirits as il things We're better; their ap-
pearance and good conduct surprise the
green Spaniards, who have mover before
seen any but their own or French soldiers.
Farewell, my dear Lady Hester. II / ex-
tricate myself, and those with me, from our
present difficulties, and il ] can beat the
French, shall return to you with satisfac-
ton; but IL not it will be better that
should never quit Spain" On the 18th OF
the following January he fell covered with
glory ut Corunna. TO Charles Stanhope,
who was serving on his staff, and was stand
ing by him as he expired, he uttered the
words, "Stanhope, remember me to your
sister" But before the day was over Stan
hope himself had fallen.

RecaInier At Forty.

Anne Hampton Brewster in Boston Advertiser
Baron Visconti gave me droll account
once how the celebrated belle looked in bed
When the venerable archGlogist was a young
man the famous beauty visited Rome. She
was then about forty, or probably more
that il, IL a beauty can ever be forty. When
he called one morning, soon after her arrival,
he was told that madame was an peusOaG-
rdnte, and in bed. As young Visconti was
handing his card TO the maid, Madame Re-
GAMERS niece stepped hurriedly forward,
and said, "Oh, pray, come in. My aunt is
not very well, il is true but she is receiving"
Visconti was shown into room where lay
the handsome woman in bed to be sure, but
sitting up, with cushions behind her, and
dressed in most rayishing toilet TO the waist,
which displayed-not hid-her charms to
the greatest advantage. The harmonious and
becoming hues Of the silk bed hangin0s
and covers, the transparent muslins and
cob-web like laces of the cap and costume,
and above all the soft rays of perfumed
lamp, which fell in the most skillful manner,
so as to show the great beauty in the best
light; the delicious odors, the softatmosphere
of the rooms, We're ravishing, irresistible.
She seemed in perfect health, her color was
that of the earliest youth, and she was In the
gayest spirits.
The young man hardly knew whether he
was ON his head or his heels, but had the
presence of mind, or gallantry, as all Itali-
ans have, to behave CONNIE IL fdut. He
sprang forward, took the beauty's lovely
little hand, which she extended to him, fell
on his knees and kissed mpturously the
pretty wrist, from which the soft laces fell
back, disclosing u bewildering sight Of the
beautiful arm above the round elbow. His
ardOr received an affectionate little tap of
gentle reproof, and he was shown 10 his
seat which, as he was the last conner, was
near the head of the bed, ut the end of the
ruelle, the broad space between the led
and wall, where a row of chairs was placed.
On these chairs the guests sat and for every
new visitor the rest moved down to make
way for him--for the visitors were all of
1.-THE masculine persuasion. "The CONVEX

the gayest nature-even little more than
gay. Sometimes the beautiful Recamier
was SO convulsed with laughter, that she al

the most personal and adoring character
were received with great favor, so ! took
that role with all the fervor Of passionate

The Use OF u Sand.B Bag.
New York Post.

One of the most convenient articles to be
used in sick-room is q sand-bag. Get
some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in
u kettle on the stove, make a bag about eight
inches square of flannel, fill il with dry sand,
sew the opening carefully together,a nd
cover the bag with cotton or linnen cloth.
This will prevent the sand from sitting out
and will also enable you to heat the bag
quickly by placing it in the oven, or even
on the top Of the stove. After once using
this you will never again attempt to warm
the feet or hands of sick person with a
bottle of hot water or brick. The sand
holds the heat long time; and the bag can
be tucked up to the back without hurting
the invalid 1t is good plan to make two
or three Of the bags and keep them ready
for use.
