for Kent, and continues as follows: The
fact that the naturalization of Kent was

SHE NEVER SAW A MARDI-GRAs.

~ have lived in New Orleans all my
life, and never have seen a Mardi-Gras.
From early childhood l have been
troubled with bad sight, and always de-
pended on my companions to inform
me of the subject ETC., and tell me
what was passing by. had always to use
the strongest kind of opera glasses in
in addition to my eye glasses, procured
from the leading opticians, and yet /
never saw a procession of any kind to
my satisfaction, or near as well as other
people could, until the Menus process
sion of last week. [ could then, for the
first time in my life, read all the signs
and posters, saw all the figures on the
fats and the minutest de tail distinctly.
II could never see the music score
when seated at the piano, and could
not sing from a sheet OF music when
any one else held it. I have passed
friends and acquaintance on the street,
never being able to distinguish
them. l have sat in a street Car
and handed my fare to my husband
and did not know him. l could have
ridden all the way home with him, not
knowing who he was if he did not
speak. In fact, could hardly men
ton the many instances of annoyance
my bad sight has caused. 1
have tried leading occulists, and
got glasses from the first Opt
tons of the country. l have un-
derwent constitutional treatment, took
ever so many drugs all to no purpose.
I finally resigned myself to my sad fate,
and thought I'd make the best of it.
But at last ! found perfect relief in
skillful treatment and application of
glasses by DR.. Prentice, and I shall
never know how to express my graft
tude for all he has done for me. He
has most certainly given me pair of
new eyes. MRS. j. q. MILLER,
,''612 st. Claude Street, N. o.. La.
In 1885 DR.. Prentice invented and
copyrighted mathematical system for
fitting spectacles or glasses which is,
undoubtedly, the most accurate of any |
now in use. 1t is used in England, |
Holland and France. DR.. Gardner, OF |
Chicago, says it is the true principle. |
DR.. Holmes says he has found it very |
useful. DR.. Fitch, a trustee of the |
Illinois Eye and Ear Infrmarv, relies
on it almost exclusively. With this
system the most delicate and sensitive
eyes can be fitted with glasses so &C
curately that they are relieved of all |
strain. and thus they soon recover their |
lost strength. Spectacles fitted and |
ground to order in this manner do not |
change as ordinary glasses do, but they |
wear for years and preserve the sight. |

Jacket Waists for Girls.

The jacket waists and kills now worn
by girls of ten to twelve years are in
exceedingly simple shapes, the fronts
rounded in Zouave shapes or in the
square-cornered Eton style, and the
back in two forms, each finishing in a
square tab. The skirt has double box
plaits, usually eight or ten in number,
and is sewed to a silesia waist that has
the front covered with surah silk laid
in four plaits down the middle-two
plaits coming from each side-and
dropping like blouse below the waist
line. This dress is made up for school
use in lal.;e plaids OF blue with red,
and navy blue surah vest, or of
brown and blue-strlped cloth, with a
brown soft wool vest. The bordered
wools are also made up for those
dresses, sometimes with box plated
belted waists, or with Elton jacket fronts
edged with the border, and with the
the back box-plaited to belt Others
have revers of the border down the
front, opening over silk waist tucked
at the top and girdled below. The
skirts are sometimes gathered on cords
all around, or else only in front, and
sometimes the cording is behind, with
fat plaits in front Belted blouse
waists OF surah silk or OF jersey wool
are worn by these young girls and
misses, made like those worn by ladies.

How Justice Fuller Dresses.

A striking figure on our streets is, OF
was until recently, the new Chief
Justice, Melville w. Fuller. Mr.. Fuller
seldom wears the judicial black, though
the frock coat is his favorite. It fits
as tight as glove. and is usually OF
some light material. A black string
tie is all that is needed TO bring out in
sharp contrast his handsome face and
a broad-brimmed slouch hat sets OIL
finely the silken curly locks that run
amuck around his neck. Occasionally
this head gear is varied for the black
tile. His spectacles arc always about
him, hanging down from dainty gold
chain tied to his vest. He walks about
thoughtfully with head bent, seldom
stops to talk on the street, but when he
grcets IA friend always does so with a
wave Of the hand and pleasant smile.

HIGHLAND oMENs.
some OF the Gruesomo superStItlc rs Pre-
valllng In the North of ScotIand


Some OF the Gruesome superstItlr MS Pre-.
Vailing In the North of Scotland.
The belief in fairies and brownies,
or the more playful and fanciful kind
oil fairy, seems TO belong more to the
Lowlands OF Scotland than the High
lands. The character of tho people
was softer, and the lighter forms OF
superstitious belief found more fitting
home there than in the Highlands,
where the gloomy and austere char
acter of the people led them to invest
the supernatural inhabitants of their
glens and mountains with something
more akin to their own darker and
sterner natures. Thus the fairies and
brownies of the Lowlands take in the
North the form of warnings, that
come in gruesome guise 10 foretell
misfortune and calamity to the family
to whom they belong, and to whom
they appear when danger or misfort-
une threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family inhe North
was believed to have supernatural
warning or omen which appeared be-
fore the death OF any prominent mem
Der. 1t varied in most cases, but each
fam" of clan generally received the
same warning before death as the chief.
Very striking condolences no doubt
have occurred, quite important enough
to convince Neutrality-suspicious. peo-
pie of their infallibility. Thus among
the Mackenzies the death candle was
always said to appear before the death
OF any leading member of any branch.
A large light appeared at some dis
tance in the sky, sailing slowly till 1t
arrived above the place where the per-
son whose death it predicted lived,
when it would slowly disappear in a
brilliant coruscation OF light. In Tul-
loch castle a cold hand was always said
to be laid on the face OF the person
whose death it foretold. In another
family white owl always appeared
when any member was going to die,
and in another a black dog; while on
the west coast OF the Highlands an old
woman, commonly called the "Grua-
gach, appeared to fortell the death of
some important member of the family
TO which she specially belonged. -Mur-

Bottling Fruit Whole.

Putting fruit up whole and without
sugar, one of the ne er modes in
vogue, is substantially as follows:
Fill clean, dry, wide mouthed bottles
with fresh, sound fruit; add nothing,
not even water. Be sure that the
fruit is we'll and closely packed in,
and ram the corks-of best quality
tightly down into the neck of the bot
ties until level with the glass. Now
tie the corks down tight with strong
twine, and after putting the bottles
into bags, stand them in pan or
boiler Of cold water. Let the water
reach not quite to the shoulders
of the bottles. Let the fire be mod
crate and bring the water to boiling.
Boil gently for ten minutes, remove
from the fire and allow to cool. Next
remove the bottles, wipe them dry
and dip the corks into melted rosin
or. bottle wax, taking care to cover
every part of the cork. This process
is said to keep fruit sound and fresh
for years, but housewives in general
will prefer to test it and become
familiar with all small details, such
as the length of time for boiling diff
ferent fruits before employing it ex-
tensively.-IW Willows Journal.

ADAMS ON THE SITUATION.

DENVER, Colo, March 11.-Gover-
nor Adams, in conversation with an
Associated Press reporter tonight re-
garding Larrabee's letter to President
Perkins and the decision of the Rail-
road Commissioners at Des Moines
yesterday, said: 81 am OF opinion
that the decision of the Commits
sioners upon the matter of permitting
incompetent engineers to run pas
senger trains on the Burlington road
is right and just ,and no man who has
not proven himself fully competent to
run locomotive should be permitted
to jeopardize the lives of hundreds of
passengers as well as the property of
the company, by being put in charge
OF train. Were my opinion asked as
to the best way to settle the present
trouble, l would advise the officials
OF the Burlington road to accede at
once to the demands of the engineers
and firemen upon the basis paid these
men by other corporations having as
extensive territory as the Burlington.
If this is impossible, then I heartily
agree with the ideas of the Governor
OF Iowa, embodied in his letter to
President Perkins, advising a settle
ment by arbitration Immediately.

RAILWAY PASSES.
Governor LOWrey Accused of
Violating the state Law.

Violating the tate Law.
New ORLEANS, March ia dis
patch from Cafferville, Miss, says :
A row occurred on the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad the other day because
the conductor refused to pass
Roderick Lowrey, nephew of Cover
nor Lowrey, on the Governors family
pass. This exposed the fact that
the Chief Executive OF the State
is guilty Of a misdemeaDor of the leg
islature of 1884, which made it mis-
demeanor fer any Legislative, execu-
tive, judicial, or other officer holding
position of trust under the State to
travel on any railroa,i without paying
absolutely, and without any trick,
or evasion whatever, the same fare
as that required OF passengers gener-
ally. 1t seems now that the Cover
nor is holding passes on all railroads
in the State. The penalty for the
first offense against the law is fine
of $25; for the second, fine of 500
and ten days. imprisonment, and for
the third a fine OF $500 and thirty
days imprisonment. The railroad is
also liable to fine of $4,000. Great
interest is manifested in the matter
and further developments are anx-
ionslY awaited.

He Is Still Lying In Prison

At a AhOSs
Tucson, Arizona, March 11.-There
is no change in the situation of the
imprisoned posse in the dungeon at
Janos. Many believe that the fleeing
robbers gave the information and had
the posse taken on their arrival there,
as the distance to Chihuahua from
Janos is about 250 miles, and courier
cannot make the trip at the speed
usually travelled by a Mexican, inside
of a week. In the meantime the
prisoners will have to lie in prison.

Immediately. The report is not true

and were trying to get them back
