GEN. LEES sUGGE.

Gen. Lee asked if Mr.. Cox were not, using a
military term, mere scout to gather informa-
ton, and Mr.. Webb responded in the affirma-
tive
In answer to MFR. Payne Mr. Webb asserted
that, in the legal sense of the word, Mr.. Cox
was not his agent.
MIR. Webb was examined at some length
by Mr.. Davis to show the methods followed
here in making abstracts
At twenty minutes past IL Mr.. Webb was ex-
cused from the stand. Mr.. Taulbee said he
had
TWO Oh THREE OTHER WITNESSES
who had not yet been subpenaed and whose
examination ought not to take more than ten
or fifteen minutes each. He thought it would
be best to summarize the testimony
they had already taken before ex-
amining these Witnesses II was agreed
therefore that the committee should meet
again at o'clock this afternoon in executive
session to consider the testimony and then az
semble again at the call of the chair to take the
additional testimony spoken of by Mr. Tarilbee.
The committee then adjourned.

The Golden Casket.

The Germans have story which that home
loving people like to repeat. A father, when
his daughter became bride, gave her a
golden casket with the injunction not to pass
it into other hands, for it held a charm,
which, in her keeping, would be of inestim-
able value to her as the mistress Of a house.
Hot only was she to have the entire care of
it, but she was to take it every morning to
the cellar, the kitchen, the dining room, the
library, the parlor, the bedrooms, and to re-
main with it in each place for at least five
minutes, looking carefully about After the
lapse of three years the father was to send
her the key, that the secret talisman might
be revealed. The directions were followed.
The key was sent. The casket was opened
1t was found to contain an old parchment,
on which were written these words: 1.-THE
eyes of the mistress are worth 100 pairs Of
servants hands" Tie wise father knew
that practice Of inspection followed faith
fully for three years would become q habit
and be self perpetuating-that the golden
casket and the hidden charm would have ac-
compIshed their mission.
We commend this story 10 those shouss
wives whose homes, like tho primeval chaos,
are without form, and void. st. Louis

A well known woman in public life lately
declared her conviction that it is necessary
for beauty, health and good temper that a
woman should be for at least half an hour
daily in the open air. Il know" she adds,
that for busy women this is not always
easy. They can spare that half an hour in
the open air, but they can't spare the other

A woman,s Phenomenal Success.

-Four years ago certain well known woman
Of today had no stockings to her feet. Yes
terday she received in velvet and point lace,
with diamonds as big as lilberts in her ears
All her own and honestly earned. She was
turned upon the street with two children
begging for her supper, because her husband
could not pay his rent. Nowadays the illus
trated papers beg in vain for the privilege
Of photographins the art treasures in her
rooms. Dreszmaking has done it all She
tried for place IS plain cook or housekeeper,
she went from house to house as seamstress
for 81 a day and all the time she said if she
ever bad the opportunity she could show
what art meant in dresEmaking. It sounded
like q fairy tale, but it has come true. Every
rear shegoes abroad and her credit at the big
London and Paris shops is almost unlimited
Presently she will take her children to Ger
many to finish their education. She designs
every gown that goes out from, her establish
ment. Best of all, she is true hearted wo-
man, and from plodding through the streets
at midnight for medicine for . nick woman to
the most delicate Offices between estranged
lovers has taken on herself all manner Of
disagreeable tasks to help her frisads-Phila-

Birds in the House.


Do not hang your bird merely where his
cage looks pretty. Nor must you fly TO the
other extreme, and place him in glare of
sunlight. even in winter. Birds suffer and
die from this cause The best way is to give
him his choice; put him in the sun and shade
. f>art ~ his care. So that he ulsv DO es In
likes You will notice that he often sits in
tho shade.
Remember and take care about placing him
In a draft or too close to even a closed win
dow, except on warm summer days. 1t is as
great mistake to put him where he will be
subject to the dry, burning heat of furnace
or stove. Do not hang his cage too high nor
too low, but let him breathe the pure air
which you breathe yourself.
From November till June wrap his cage
nightly in a warm shawl, or draw over it a
thick flannel cover, and never place the cage
on the floor, as saw advised not long ago.
Your bird needs variety as well as you,
bird store men and bird book writer's to the
contrary notwithstanding. Give him every
day, besides his seed and fresh water, a bit of
green food, lettuce, sorrel, chickweed, plain
tain deaf or ends), or slice of banana or ap-
pie, and fasten the delicacy so that it cannot
fall to the floor. A dainty bird will not touch
it If it falls. Also, now and then, perhaps
three times week, give him a snip or two of
raw beef the size of pin head, larger if he is
a hooking bird. He may look askance at
first, and turn his wise black eyes upon it
with curiosity, but he will soon relish it and
eargerly snatch it from your finger, and it
takes the place of the insects he would add to
his bill of fare If he were free
In fact, try to keep in mind that the little
fellow has likes and dislikes, pain and dis
comfort, happiness and pleasure, much as
you have yourself, and you will be well re-
paid by his brightness and vivacity.-Our

Wit or Beauty, Which

A correspondent says: much has been
written and said about the rival claims of
wit and beauty as factors in rendering
women attractive. The great immediate
triumphs of beauty may have been wrought
In moment as when the old men of Troy
gazed admiringly on Helen and forgot her
sins; or when the duchess Of Cleveland looked
from her coach door upon the bowling mob
of London, who attributed to her malign in
Auence all the burden of their taxes, and who
were so charmed by her beauty that their
howlings changed into Bless her handsome
facet But the continuous and permanent
power Of personal charms implies not mere
regularity Of form, but brilliancy and varied
fascination. One Of the most brilliant writer's
of this century, Heinrich Heine, has best
analysed the rival charms of wit and beauty
in his 'Confessions' Women are dangerous
he says, but 1 must admit that beautiful
women are not 50 dangerous as those whose
attractions are intellectual rather than ply
steal He continues by giving sketch Of
Mime. de Stael who is the stock instance Of
the power welded by the feminine intellect
without beauty.

him by asking him abruptly if the two ladies
fell into the water which he would save.
Madame replied the imperturbable diplo-
mat, you know how to SWIM thus adroitly
complimenting her universal accomplish
mentss while maintaining his own allegiance
to the beauty. 1t is a curious fact that Mar
garet Fuller Ossoli, whose name has often
been linked with that of Nine. de Stael. had
this in common with her that her hands
were the point where she came nearest to
beauty, and she was accused by many critics
of displaying them in public. She also drew
from men perhaps more than did Mime. de
Stael the homage of personal affection, and
it was hsr own theory that the strongest pas
sions recorded in history have usually been
inspired by plain women, which may be
source of qualification to women whom the
geds seem to have forgotten when they were
dispensing beauty."-New Orleans Picayune.
