"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the variousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their Threats, thereby sending
them to premature graves"

THE YELLOW GARTER.
They All Wear One just Above the Left
knee-Why They Do So.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The very latest and funniest within is the wear
ing of the yellow garter. Just one garter. not
two, you understand, and it must be worn Just
above the left knee. The other stocking may
be wrinkled disconsolately over the shoe top or
be fastened in place by any one or all of the
mysterious devices known only to the initiated,
but the left one is held firmly by band of yell
low silk elastic, with ribbon rosette of the
same shade, and the correct and proper thing
is to wear it night and day for six months.
The yellow garter's origin is shrouded in
murky uncertainty, but its Specification is
known to every girl who possesses it, and this
Is its charm: Any girl who wears a yellow
garter above her left knee is sure to be engaged
in less than six months. The garter must be
given to her by friend. she must not make or
buy it, and ii has never been known to fail OF
its purpose but once. and then the owner was
wearing 1t on the wrong extremity, or rather
the right one instead of the left.
just wherein lies its potency belongs to the
ethics of the esoterics Of girlhood but the girls
all wear them. The slim slips of girls who
want to be engaged just for fun, though they
aren't half old enough to be married.: the
bright, clever girls, as sweet and spicy and
wholesome as carnations, who have a career
before them, and say they wouldn't marry
the best man in the world; the hopeless girls
mat nave Tled everything else, you know, and
are accustomed to failures; the sweet-hearted
womanly girls, who are waiting like Mariana in
the moated grange and signing because 'he
cometh not" and the naughty, witching girls
who could marry every fellow in the market if
they were not so sort OF bewildering that no
one quite dares ask them, and the shy girls
who hide the yellow band from their very
best friends, and think of it when they say
their prayers, all waiting for some brave
knight of the garter to help them solve the
problem concerning the success or failure OF
the time-honored institution which is caus.
ing so much controversy at present-all wear

WIVES OF NAVAL OFFICERS.
PROMINENT IN OFFICIAL SOCIETY.
Some Handsome and Accomplished
Women and Their Histories.

The ladies of the naval circle have always
filed an important place in the social life of
the capital. In the days of long cruises and
imperfect methods of travel quite a colony of
the wives and daughters of heroes of the sea re-
sided at Washington. and were among the most
favored guests at the executive mansion. In
later years many have enjoyed exceptional op-
portunities Of visiting foreign countries, resid-
ing at cities which were the ports of rendezvous
of the vessels of the fleet in which their hus
bands were serving. and assisting in gracing
occasions of a social character in which the
American officers participated. In the United
States they have mingled in the fashionable
gayeties Of the cities contiguous to navy-yards
which have been the scenes OF their husbands
duties. and in Washington they have adorned
the highest sphere of social life. With the
adaptiveness Of American woman the ladies of
the navy possess all the charms and spirit of
their country-wOmen with the added acquire
ments and accomplishments, the result of con-
tact with the fashionable circles of the capitals
and seaports of foreign lands and the metro
politan cities and capital of their own country

s'yIRs. MADIsON's COMPLIMENTS,
The First Message that Ever Was
licked Over a Telegraph Wire.
From the Chicago News

From the Chicago News
In your issue Of this morning you have a re-
ference to Mistress Dolly Madison. Justly laud-
ing her womanliness and advising young
writer's to study her free and charming style.
No better advice could be given. This refer
ence to Mistress Dolly brings to my mind the
fact that Mistress Dolly carried to her grave
an honor never presented to any other woman,
anc one that can never befall again. History,
You know, Is not always to be relied upon. II
Is due to the memory of Mistress Madison that
L correct an accepted historical statement as to
the first telegraphic message ever sent over q
wire. 1t is generally supposed that the words,
what hath God wrought" were the first four
words thus transmitted. This is not true.
When Prof. Morse was in Washington pre-
pairing to test the telegraph line which had
been erected at government expense between
Washington and Baltimore, he was attended by
several gentlemen friends, among whom was
Congressman John p. Wetherill, Of Maryland
Prof. Morse rang up the Baltimore Office, then
located IN room over the post-office at Fayette
and North streets, and having received an
answering signal, he announced that he was
ready to transmit message to Baltimore. At
this juncture Congressman Wetherill suggested
that, as communication by electricity was a
great event in the worlds history, the honor of
sending the first message should be bestowed
upon some one identified with the nations pro-
gress. This suggestion met with approval, but
none could think of person whom this honor
would conspicuously befit. Suddenly Weth-
Grill cried out: Il have it! Mrs. Madison is
in Washington, and she is just the person.
That distinguished lady was sent for and in
half an hour she arrived, duly excited, but with
the heavenly, obliging smile she always wore
Prof. Morse asked her to write out brief mes
sage to some friend in Baltimore, and Mrs.
Madison accordingly wrote line to the wife of
CONGRESSMAN.
James Madison's compliments to Mrs. wether-
ILL.," The first message was licked OF and
shortly thereafter reached Mrs. Wetherill at
her country home in the suburbs Of Baltimore,
having been dispatched from the Baltimore
office by a courier on horseback.
Several other preliminary messages. such az
Glow are you" &c, were sent. and then came
the formal communication, "What hath God
wrought" These facts were narrated 10 me by
Congressman Wetherill in IS47

After the close Of the American revolution, a
brave officer of the line in Napoleon's victor
ious army arrived in America with two sons
and settled in Massachusetts,. This officer was
Captain Mallard- He was a widower, and soon
after his arrival married Miss Crosby. an Eng
hsh lady whose family had also settled in
Massachusetts, and was later interested in the
famous Crosby square London litigation. One
of the sons Of Captain Mallard was the great
grandfather of Mrs. James Fulton wife Of the
paymaster-general Of the United States navy.
On her mothers side, Mrs. Fulton belongs to
the noted family Of Arnold, OF Rhode Island,
that having been her grandmother's name
Mrs Fulton was Miss Belle Mallard, daughter
of j. S. Mallard. of Los Angeles where she was
born and where her father and mother still

where her father began the practice of law at
Los Angeles. He retired from his profession
about twenty years ago, but still makes that
city his home.
THE MARRIAGE.
Miss Mallard and Paymaster Fulton made
each others acquaintance while Mr. Fulton was
stationed at San Francisco. Their marriage
took place in 1879. Paymaster-General Fulton
is native OF Tennessee; was appointed into the
navy in 1858, and since that time has performed
the duties Of his responsible branch Of the
staff with eminent satisfaction to the depart
ment. Mrs. Fulton continued her residence in
California until her husbands promotion to
the paymaster-generalship when he estab-
lished his wife in the elegant home over which
she now presides at the capital Of the nation.
Mrs. Fulton Is a woman of commanding
figure. with extremely interesting face,
which shows decided traits of her French an
cestry. She is very attractive in manners and
is one of the most popular ladies. not only in
naval circles but in official society of Wash
ington.

THE EVIL EYE.
Peculiar Superstitions Still Held in
Italy.
From the Saturday Review.

From the Saturday Review
Shortly after his election Plus TX, who was
then adored by the Romans, and perhaps the
bestowed man in Italy, was driving through
the streets when he happened to glance upward
at an open window at which a nurse was stand
ing with child. few minutes afterward the
nurse let the child drop and it was killed. No
one thought the pope had wished this, but the
fancy that he had the evil eye became univer-
sal and lasted till his death. In Carniola if you
tell mother that her baby is strong and large
for its age, a farmer that his crops are looking
WELL or a coachman that his team is good, all
three will spit at your feet to avert the omen,
and, If you understand the custom. you
will do the same as an act of po-
Likeness. person who wandered
through upper Carniola and praised everything
he saw would soon come to be considered the
most malevoent of men. In Naples exactly
ment which mothers Of the lower class use to
their children and the pet names they call
them by, are often so indecent that it would be
impossible to reproduce them in English, and
always SO contemptuous that they would
be offensive in any other relation. The
offer guest anything that he may
praise has probably the same origin. 1t is,
of course, now to a very large extent only
form OF courtesy; but even now another feel

cases. Your host has been delighted by
your admiration Of his possessions;
he would have been disappointed
if it had not been so warmly expressed as it
was; but still he is little afraid OF the i'll luck
the kind things you have said may bring. By
offering the objects you have liked best to you,
and receiving your certain refusal to accept
them, he puts them in bad light, and thus
counteracts the evil effects of your praise. He
says to fate You their value is not great after
all. This superstition, however, is by no means
confined to Naples or Italy; it is said to be

iting sick acquaintance, it is better to say, 81

than 81 am glad to see you looking so
much better" Nor is the belief by
any means confined to the lower
classes. A person who is highly educated,
very intelligent, and by no means prejudiced

the words acted as an evil charm or whether
they merely foretold evil. The reply was, II

that whenever anybody tells me am looking
