Took breakfast with Jefferson.

Samuel Hensley, of this county. is
30 years of age. He was reared in Vir-
ginia, and in his youth knew Thomas
Jefferson well. A few days ago he
said 10 a Sun correspondent:
Twas born in the neighborhood OF
Monticello, President Jefferson's Vir-
ginia home. | have seen Tom Jeffer-
son many a time, and | ate dinner
with him once. I'll tell you how il
was. Many years ago | wa a bare
footed boy, roaming the fields and
woods of Virginia. I lived near Mon
~ticello, and to tell the truth, didn't
think much more Of Tom jefferson
than any other Virginia gentleman.
So one day when a companion and
myself found a big bee tree in Month
cello woods, we determined TO ask Mr..
Jefferson for the honey. The next
morning, bright and early, we went
up 10 Monticello, and sent in our re-
quest TO the father Of the Declaration
of Independence. He sent back word
TO us TO come in and eat breakfast
with him, and we could have the tree.
We were quite willing to share his
breakfast aud in we went. We got a
good breakfast. but | couldn't eat
much, for | was somewhat afraid of
the old gentleman, and then Mr.. JEFF
ferson wrote an order to- his overseer
10 let us have that bee tree.
I'VE nearly sweated ourselves 10
death cutting the bee tree down, and
we didn't get a half gallon of honey
out of it. | have seen Tom Jefferson
a thousand times, but that was the ex.
tent Of my personal acquaintance
with him.-Munfordville CKy.) Cor.

the legislators who will have to deter.

For example, one congressman thinks
the house Of representatives. should be
reduced to one hundred and fifty
members, while another thinks IL
should be increased TO four hundred
and thirty, These, however are the
extremes, and the general opinion be-

There are strong reasons against in

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
The 'pushcrs" of Society May BE Toll
Grated, but Are seldom Forgiven.

There gro some people who, in whatever
station Of life they may be, appear TO have
made up their minds not To be content there
with. Instead Of taking the lowest place and
waiting patiently till they arc invited to go
up higher, they at once try TO push up to the
seat of honor, thrusting aside many II better
man than themselves and tranpiing under
foot all the little rules and regulations which
the laws Of custom impose upon society. Such
persons must know evcrybody--everybody
who is anybody, that is. They cannot
endure to feel that there is any drawing
room that is not open to them, any table at
which they do not dine. Any house Of which
they have not the eutree assumes at once n
fictitious importance in their eyes; any per
sons who hold aloof must be assiduously
courted, and no stone lett unturned to win
them over 1t is usually easy enough to find
some means of Introducing Yourself to the
most exclusive, and your pushing person is
rarely over scrupulous as to tho means he-or
moro often sLc--employs We knew young
fellow once who always made a point Of tread
ing on Old gontlemen's toes and then apologize
ing sweotly He said ho hoped that after an
acquaintance so pleasantly commenced they
might leave him money some day.
1t is very hard to convince the pushers OF
society that your house is your castle, or
rather, perhaps, they are so fully convinced
of the fact that they feel no scrup'e about be
sieging il. Such people arc very troublesome
neighbors, and their aggreasoEs should be
put down with "a high hand. No one is safe
from them, for while they are, of course, at
liberty to force their acquaintance on new
Corners, priority of residence is no defense
against their unwclcomc attentions. 10 re
buTs discourage them; they appear to take
tho widow woman Of Scripture for their
model, and think to gain their point by rea-
son Of their Importantly. Our only hope Of
immunity must lie in insigniticance, and
few Of us like to own ourselves
indebted to that quality for saliva
ton Of all pushing, this is the hardest to
forgive; and, to those not personally inter
csted in the struggle the trouble taken seems
so ridicuously out Of all proportion to the
object 10 be attained that in tho eyes OF So
ciety at large there is not sufficient tempta-
ton to excuse the breach Of good manners
Many will condone it, however, for average
humanity is very lazy, and it is often easier
to give way to persons Of this class than to
oppose them. But though it may be con-
doned, it will not be forgotten, they may be
tolerated by the society into which they have
pushed their way. but though in it, they will
not be of it.; try as they may, they will never
overcome the prejudice their own conduct
has created.

PoDular Fur Trimmings.

Long furs and short furs are both used for
trimmings this winter, but In most varied
ways, the long 6eeces forming lcngthwise
rows and borders on garments, whils tho
shorter furs are inlaid a. vests, yokes or p!as-
irons and are shapel in revers, in pointed
girdles, as caps for sleeves, or rs epauletteS,
and as deep cuffs or inner sleeves, and are
used as side breadths Of redingotes or Of
skirts, where in some French garments APP
niQus figures Of plush or cloth are added to
decorate the fur, the narrower band OF fur
being applied to the salvage Of the cloth for
dTapery.
Brown furs are again in great favor, bring
ing to light the cables which many ladies'
have had stored for years because fashion
did not approve Of them, and introducing a
novelty in the uso OF undyed seal fur, which
is of light tan color and Is now preferred to
the natural plucked beaver that has been so
long in vogue Stone marten n also restored
to favor, and mink is again stylish trim
ming. The fox furs, especially blue fox and
silver fox, are favorite light furs, also tho
yellowish badger with its long fleece.
For durable furs the black and brown bear
skins are much used as borders for heavy
doth or velvet wraps. Tail trimmings
with pendants like fringe are fashionable,
especially in mink, and there are broad Dor
ders of very dark mink from eight to ten
inches wide. Wolverine is a very dark fur
effective for borders. In tho present fancy
for applying black to colors, black furs are
much used on green, blue and red cloth or
plush wraps, and on brown garments as well;
the favorite short black furs arc Persian
hmbslln and Russian lamb while ting long
black feeces most used are black marten,
black bear and black fox. Chinchilla is not
as popular as formerly. Gray krimmer is
the fashionable gray trimming fur, while
stylish and not costly gray borders are made
of the fluffy fur of the Australian opossum
Spotted leopard borders and revers are liked
for young ladies' cloth jackets and red
ingotes. -Harper's Bazaar

The invention of u new system of exercise
for corpulent paoplo is attributed TO PROBES
scr Ocrlel, of Muuich. Prince Bismarck is
said to practice it with great benefit While
certain kinds and quantities Of food and drink
and certain regulations in their use, us well
as the employment Of packs and baths, are
prescribed, the central idea of the new
cure Is To- strengthen the muscle Of the
heart. The beneficial effect of this treatment
is soon felt; the dropsv and conSestions de-

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE
Plain Furniture May - Essily Hnrishsd
b. Decorating with Brass Nails

Az Q means Of adding richness to some vary
plain articles Of furniture or bric-a-brac,
ornamenting by following pattern in diner
ent sizes Of brass headed tacks Is suggested by
Tho Home Maker as an easy and successful
exploit, that even child can achieve.
Photograph frames, boxes chests and door
panels can be decorated pleasingly In this
way, and plain wooden chairs and small
tables can DO made to assume quite an impos'
ing appearance by the free use Of plain and
fanciful nail heads.
As hammerng with sufficient force to drive
tho nails in firmly would be detrimental to
their brass heads, sharp aw or piercer with
q wooden handle should be used along the
lines OF the pattern to prepare n place for
each nail so that a gentle tap will drive it in.
A jewel casbet and silver boxes to hold the
spoons and forks are ornamental in bedroom
and dining room and may bo covered with
cloth or leather before decorating, or may be
eboni2ed For these, ornamental brass hinges
are necessary Us well as a broad finely cut
shield to surround the keyhoe.
Velvet covered shelves or corner brackets
may bc much improved by nail decoration
No pattern will be necessary, ~ there Is sci
dom room for anything but border, which
may be of small diamonds formed by the
smallest nails, or made with large plain
or fancy nail alternating with q cross formed
of thirteen small nails tho band being con-
tinuous.
A good quality of kitchen chair can be
stained to counterfeit cherry or any dark
wood, and edged on tho sent and back with
large plain and embossed brass nails Tn,
middle of the seat may be Slightly stuffed
and covered with a velvet or leather square
fastened down with gimp and small nails
leaving wide margin of wood.

OF Boston, advanced the opinion that tho in

extremely low intensity, as demonstrated by

which soon fatigued it, and made it especially
