their stomachs a good deal, on a pillow or
across the knees, for change of position and
the ease given by warmth and pressure of the

Babies limbs are made symmetrical and

they will get bow legged by dancing on their
eager feet too soon, there is no need to torture
them with surgical appliances and steel boots.

Fish Net Dresses.

Black silk fish net with meshes large enough
to put the tip of finger through are made
up over MORE skirts and waists, and Harper's
Bazaar tells how it is done: The foot of the
skirt has six inch hem, above which are
ten rows Of very narrow satin ribbon drawn
through the meshes. The full back breadths
are straight, and have a wide MORE sash
hanging to the foot, while the front and sides
are given the effect of a Spanish founce by
ten other rows of ribbon curving across
them and combining them just above the
knees. Gowns made for the Washington
centennial ball and also for br!demaids have

4 Novel CurA.

Probably the most novel of all ideas for
curing rheumatism is that contributed by
DR.. Terc to German medical journal. He
observed that when rheumatic persons were
stung by bees, the swelling which usually fol
lows such stings was very slow in appearing,
and, if the persons we're stung repeatedly, it
did not appear at all; the result of such con-
tinued singing being to cure the rheumatism,
which showed no tendency to recur. He fol
lowed out this idea in the cases of I73 persons,
$1,000 Stings being required. Both acute and
chronic cases were cured by this treatment.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Punctuality Minor Virtue Of High Ee-
pute Among Well Bred People.

pute Among wen EFcI People.
Punctuality il answering invitations is one
of the minor moralities of life, which ought
to be practiced by all who aspire to u correct
discharge of social duties Yet one nearly
always finds that those people who have least
to do are the most uncertain and unpunctual
in such matters. What an advantage it is
to have invitations answered promptly: for
while you are waiting for the answer, which,
when it comes, is a refusal, that might just
as well have been written at once, you lose
the opportunity Of asking other friends.
Whilst on this subject ono may remark on
the want Of courtesy evinced by some host
esses in never being ready to receive their
invited guests, This always gives the i'm
preston that, after all, you are not very wei
come, and the visit is robbed of some of its
pleasure. Punctuality in returning both
books and music, and returning them neatly
done up in paper addressed to the owner
with thanks, having been kept clean and
no corners turned down, is another Of the
minor mora,ities of life

Grant at DOnelsOn.

On the morning Of the surrender of
the confederate troops at Fort Don
elson a federal staff officer APP
wins Brigade of Buckner's Division and
inquired for the headquarters of the
brigade commander. He was shown
to the quarters of Colonel John G.
Brown, Third Tennessee Infantry, who
was temporarily in command of the
brigade. Upon meeting Colonel Brown
the federal officer announced that he
had been sent forward by General U.
S. Grant, commanding United States
forces, to learn the location of the
brigade headquarters, and that he would
return and inform the federal COM
mander. The officer then rode back to
the line of works and, meeting General
Grant and his staff, conducted them to
the tent of Colonel Brown. Colonel
Brown, allow me to introduce General
Grant, commander of our forces"
Colonel Brown acknowledged the intro
duction by polite though formal bow.
Colonel Brown, it gives me pleasure
to take by the hand an officer who has
made such brave defense.n And re-
moving his hat, the federal commander
leaned from his horse and extended
his hand, which Colonel Brown ac-
cepted with that grace and dignity
which, with his gallant bearing on the
field, so distinguished him afterward as
ma ior-general. After few minutes
the party passed on toward the village
of Dover, the confederate headquarters,
leaving Colonel Brown standing before
his tent. AS he turned to enter, he
saw approaching from the direction of
the fort confederate lieutenant,
mounted on splendid horse and rid
ing at break-neck speed, his hat drawn
tightly down and a full-sized navy six
particularly noticeable in his right hand.
An instant more and Colonel Brown
had seized the madman's bride with
"Where are you going, sil?" "To
shoot that Yankee officer; now loose
my bride or I'll shoot you" And the
man raised his pistol while he foamed
with rage. We have surrendered
sir, and " Loose my bridle?" "
will not, sir; you shall not do"
"Colonel Brown, for the third and last
time tell you, loose my rein" " Drop
that pistol" and the man, thrown off
his guard by quick movement of his
horse, found himself covered by the
pistol which Colonel Brown had sud
| denly drawn. a moment of hes tation
and the lieutenant's pistol fell upon The
ground. Now, dismount," and with
one look that satisfied him of the firm
purpose in the eyes which cleaned be-
hind the leveled pistol in the hand OF
Brown, the man who would have killed
Grant was safely under arrest.-Mem-
phiS appeal.
