A Remarkable Find

While cleaning a sewer-plpe for Hon.
Samuel Nicholson few days ago
Shippy Bros. came across four dead
coons about one mile from the mouth
of the sewer. The animals had prob
ably gone in to investigate and being
unable to turn around concluded to con
tinue their explorations. The sewer
pipe grew smaller as they proceeded
and finally all four were fastened sc
tightly together as to be unable to
move. Thus they died.

The Newfoundland Fisheries.

A. T.. Winters, of Halifax, N. S.,
thinks there will be no serious trouble
over the Newfoundland fisheries ques-
ton.
''The Newfoundlanders expect to see
friendly settlement" he said. "They
believe that the French government
will pursue negotiations which are fairly
conciliatory, and that England will use
all its diplomacy in the matter. France,
of course, dearly prizes its rights on
the Newfoundland coast, for that is
all that is left of the long-hopedfor-
France beyond the Atlantic The solu-
tion lies in the purchase of the rights OF
France. But here is the big hitch. The
great value of the fisheries, as claimed
by the enthusiastic French, is that they
can be used in a diplomatic contest to
drive the English from Egypt. 1t is fo1
this reason that the French are post
poning peaceable overtures. Otherwise
the two nations would settle
upon terms of an agreement in a
short time. Some of the leaders in
Newfoundland want practical reading
of the fishery treaty. Then if it is de.
clared that the right of France to the
Newfoundland coast is not an exclusive
one, let Great Britain say 30 fiat-footed
and support the declaration at any risk
This method is advocated by some, but

HAVE NO "BEST" ROOM.
A Custom That Is Fast Passin1
Away.

The old custom of reserving the sun
niest and cheeriest rooms in the house
for company" is fast passing away, we
are thankful to say. The common sense
of having the family which lives in the
house the year round have the benefit
of this cheer, instead of the very occa-
sional guest or caller, is rapidly coming
to take the front. The New York Mail
and Express takes more sensible view
on the subject, the moral of which is,
perhaps, have all better and no best
rooms.
The mere fact that there is forbidden
spot in the household in itself hinders
social intercourse. A feeling of restraint
becomes diffused through the family
and renders the atmosphere of home
chilly. When the parlor is opened and
visitors received, both the callers and
their entertainers are i'll at ease.
To the latter the house seems
as strange as the house of
another person, conversation lags
and becomes insipid; each one feels he
is in sacred part of the house and a
sense of his obligation to polish up
manners. Topics of interest are barred
out of conversation; and when one
caller makes the round of half dozen
residences he realizes what a mockery
the whole thing is.
In fact, it is more duty than a pleas
ure, and when leaving one of these
rooms where such extraordinary pains
are taken to keep everything prim and
clean, it is hard to keep from uttering
an expression of relief. Most families
set apart the apartment for purpose
which ia in no wise beneficial and at the
same time spend their lives in dingy
and unwholesome rooms simply to keep
one place in good order.
There is no philosophy in this; adults
and children alike need fresh air and
sunlight. Sacrifice the parlor for health
every time, and it will be found i'm
mensely profitable. Ii company" OBJ
jects to being received by you as you
are, then it is far better that it's coming

FASHION NOTES.
WHAT is BEING WORN AT THIS
SEASON.
Points for the Perusal of the Ladies, as
to the Latest Styles in Wearing APP
parel for Warm Weather.

Ladies shirts are in greater variety
as the demand increases.
Refers and blazer jackets are made
in silk, serge or flannel and are the fa-
vorites for outdoor wraps.
Striped whipcord suitings are just the
thing for travelling. There are many
designs in stripes and a great variety OF
cOlorings.
Flannel dresses are the most worn by
young girls. Some are in two colors in
the skirt-red or blue, or blue and white
alternately.
A sailor hat in dark blue straw, with
band of blue ribbon dotted with white,
sets off boating dress OF dark blue
flannel with small white dot.
Vieux rose broche and forget-me-not
silk is one of the many beautiful COM
binations that will be displayed on the
hotel piazzas along the beach next
month.
Close-ftting collars are still fashion
able for all tailor-made suits, but more
comfort will be found during the sum-
mer in necks cut low enough to expose
the throat.
Silk stockings are worn this season
of the same hue as the dress. They
are very comfortable. Plain black add
to a shapely ankle, but stripes detract
from it.
Tiny table lamps of art glass are set
at the four corners of tables. They are
inexpensive and quite pretty. Silver
plated or gilt metal ornaments show off
flowers to great advantage at tables.
Ginghams this season excel all pre-
vious offerings in finish and colorings.
They are so fine that it is difficult to dis
tinguish them from summer silk. They
come in stripes, checks and plaids.
The zouave, bolero, or Figaro jacket,
as it is designated variously, is much
worn, but is only becoming to few
figures. 1t is usually sleeveless and
often trimmed with dangling balls or
fringes in true Spanish fashion.
The colored leather shoe appears to
have come to stay as permanent addi-
tion to summer shoes. Its admirers say
it is not affected by dust, sand or salt
air. 1t is also easy to the foot, hence
comfortable in hot weather.
Serge dresses in medium checks are
nice for climbing or exercise generally.
A serge dress adapts itself to all the ex-
igencies of travelling or roughing. The
skirts are box-plaited, trimmed with
soft suede leather.
Silk sleeping-gowns take the fancy of
young ladies. For the price of one of
these dainty affairs they could buy four
of muslin or half dozen Mother Hub
bards, but the silk gowns are gratefully
soft to the skin and stylish besides.
Silver gray English serges are stylish
for afternoon wear in sailor gowns for
summer resorts. White summer cloth
is favorite for the same, trimmed
with white silk braid. The waist is a
vest, separate from the skirt.
Whatever else they provide for young
girls, sensible mothers look to it that
the material of their dresses in which
they play will stand much wear. Out
ing cloth, tennis cloth, tricot cloth, sum-
mer flannel, percale, gingham and
American calico have this quality, and
are most frequently used for such styles
of dresses.

ARMY HORSES.
A Big Stallion That Used to Do His
Share of Fighting.

Speaking of horses, there are horses
and ''hosses," but the greatest horse l
ever knew, says Congressman Allen,
was the black stallion ridden by Ser
geant Mueller, of the Third Pennsyl-
vania cavalry, in Sheridan's valley cam
paign l never could find out how this
horse got into the army. He was mag
nlficent specimen of hOrsefiesh, and
pretty nearly thoroughbred. One day,
along in the late fall of 1864, the enemy
was met near Front Royal, Va, aud
then there were charging and counter
charging. The black stallion, with
courage that was magnificent, would
carry mis- rider far into the enemy's
lines, and while his rider was slashing
away with his saber right and left the
stallion would lash out with his heels at
every opportunity at the steed ridden
by his opponent, and rear and strike
and bite as savagely at him as if be
were possessed of the very devil. Much
Ter was teaching him tricks all the time,
and finally, after considerable practice,
he got him so he would pursue another
cavalryman, and, catching him by his
blouse at the back of the neck. pull him
from his horse. Along in the winter of
1864 Sheridan sent Custer after Rosser,
near Strasburg. and there was in short
time the prettleSt horse race up the val
ley that you ever saw. Clusters men soon
caught up with ROsser, and then they
had it hammer and tOngs. The black
stallion, as usual, outrau everything in
the chase, and singing out victim
went for him with savage fury-then.
swinging the reb clear out of his saddle,
carried him in his teeth several feet and
held him until his rider got hold of bis
prisoner by the scruff of the neck and
sent him to the rear. On another oc-
cassion he got so interested and excited
in a fight up the valley that he carried
his rider into the enemy's lines where
both we're captured. A few days later,
in fight near Mount Jackson, much to
our amaZment, the black stallion was
seen running away with rebel captain
on his back, and before his rider could
control him he was safely within our
lines with his rider, and thus made an
even exchange for his dereliction few
