Original PortIeres.

We are told that bleached cowtails
are the approved loops for heavy por-
there's, and that their festoons are ter
minated au naturel with tasseled ends.
This rather startling information comes
to US from an English paper, which, like
all journals of that stamp, is prolific in
bizarre schemes of action attributed
solely to American women. If the
American woman who has her portieres
looped with bleached cowtails would re-
ceive her medal she must come to the
front. AS lyet her street and number
are unknown.-New York Sun

What Is a Home?

When the late Timothy Smith died he
left Il will in which he directed his exec
utors to provide home for his sister
during her life. The executors do not
construe the word home in the same
sense as does the sister. and Lawyer
Childs came before Judge Morton to ask
that suit to have the court say what
the word means be set for a hearing.
Mr.. Childs said that the executors hold
that the word home means simply
shelter. and consequently have given
the sister an empty house. nothing more

Born and Married in Prison.

The body of Robert Western, who
was drowned at st. Louis. was buried
in Evergreen cemetery. In one respect
Robert Western was remarkable. He
was born in jail. was married in prison
and spent eleven years in the peniten-
tiary. yet he and his parents were emf
nently respectable people. Roberts fa-
ther was keeper of the county Jail here
at his birth. For eleven years he drove
the prison carriage, and was rendered a
reception at his marriage, which took
place at the penitentiary.- Chester Qlls)

Apropos of boarded doors and win
dows, there is a romance attached to
one in Philadelphia. 1t seems that after
reaching Bar Harbor, Madame remem-
bered something which had been left be
hind in that darkened house. She wanted
it, but her husband was travelling, so she
could not ask him to go to the house for
it. She had nephew from the south
visiting her He offered to go to her
house and get it for her
His aunt lived in one of the rows in
which every house is like its neighbor
He had always recognized hers by its
double row of black tiling across the
house, and took but little notice of the
number
Alas! when he reached Philadelphia
he had forgotten the number, and there
were two houses with painted bricks and
next but one to each other. Which was
the one for which he had the keys? He
finally decided on one-his keys fitted,
so he felt safe He entered and went
Immediately 20 the second floor He
now discovered that he was not in the
right house-it being furnished in style
entirely different from that which
stamped his aunt's apartments.
AS he looked around his eyes rested
upon portrait of girl He gazed fas-
cinated: it was the face of his ideal
realized. He took it up, studied it, held
it off at arms length. drew it near and
at last took his unknown from the dainty
frame and swore he would find the orig
inal
Luckily, he got out of the house and
no one saw him. He returned to Ban
Harbor, he could get no information
there; his aunt's neighbors were travel
ing in Europe but they had no daughter
He sought for her at all the summer re
sorts: at last he found her, and-well
the engagement is announced.-Phila

A sit of Human Nature.

A grocer not far from my place of
abode has been this year selling for
eighty cents the same sized basket of
peaches that he last year disposed of for
five dollars This is not at all singular
considering the profusion of the fruit
this year and the scarcity last.
Its funny. though" as he told me,
that the people who took their high
priced baskets without word are now
sending me complaint after complaint
because they find little poor fruit in
the basket. Why last year they were
very bad
1t is odd until you come to think that
everybody thinks out of this years abun-
dance his grocer ought to select him a
perfect order.-New York Herald

lnalan. q. weather prophe...

The Indians OF the Colorado desert
have an extraordinary way of fortelling
the weather. They not only prognosti-
cate for a few days. but for six months
and sometimes year. Last fall they
told everybody that we should have a
cool summer in the desert and that the
fruit would be late. They were right
The fruit was very late this summer
They declare that next year viii be an
early summer. and that the fruit will
ripen early What they base their pre-
dictions upon is unknown Yankee

Among the passengers on tbs north
bound Richmond and Danville Air Line
train few nights ago was an old darky
named Dangerfeld Hampton, on his
way to the Old Dominion, after an abb
sence of about fifty years. When he was
sixteen years of age he was brought to
Georgia by Edward Locket, negro
trader from Richmond, and was sold to
son, Ga, for $3.50. Hampton was a
native of King and Queen county, where
he left some relatives, whom he now de-
sired to see. His Georgia master owned
about 200 darkeys, and made from 100 to
200 bales of cotton.
The Georgia railroad had just been
completed to Madison when Uncle
.Hamp" landed at Madison. After the
war was over and he found himself free
he went to work in earnest and made
money right along. He now owns 800
acres of land and made thirty-four bales
of cotton last year.
The old man was on his way to the
scene of his childhood
He spoke of having lost 81, 100 by the
failure of a banking institution some
time ago.
The old man said. in q laughing way,
that he left eight hens and rooster in
Virginia when he left there, and that he
was going there to look after them. He
thought that he ought to have good

NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Fruit Growers Fram All Over the Country
Are Sure That Peaches are SIM ALI
Right.
All over the country the present cold
wave aud the heavy frosJs that have
accompanied It have been severe on the
fruit crops. The exact amount of dam
age done in Delaware cannot be deter
mined, as yet. but IL Is generally
believed to be slight. Phila-
delphia paper, this morning
contained flaming story with athree-
inch besd beginning with 1.-THE Peach
Crop Killed Jack Frost Visits Delaware
and Ruins the Luscious Fruit The
story contained the statement that every
hope for peach crop was blighted be-
yond resurrection.
The statements are untrue, and the
fallacy of the entire story Is conclusively
proven by despatch from Dover printed
directly Below 1t. which says that the
fruit that is set is not much injured
From every hundred In this county
reports received this morning state that
the only injury done to growing crops is
what the early strawberries nave re-
ceived This has been severe, but no
other kind of fruit is harmed.

this county Is looked for, said. this

trees is loaded with young peaches rang
ing in sizes from o hulled pea 80 peanut
kernel, and all the blossoms have disap
peared. With the fruit in such state OF
development, frosts like those of the
past few days are comparatively OF no
consequence The peach crop In our hun
bred is all right, but the early straw
berries are practically ruined"
Recorder of Deeds James Shallcrosl !,
who Is one of the best authorities In tie
state on peaches, said: 1.-The damage
must be Of little consequences as the
young fruit is pretty we'll developed. IL

1t will not be known for several weeks,
