ARRIVAL At THE STATUE.
Pen-Picturs Of IN Animated scens-The
DisposItIou Of the Organizations.

Otspositb0u OF the OrBan'AnVons'
For an unveiling demonstration such ~
that Of yesterday there could be no prettler
place than the site Of the Hill monument
and its environments. The precise loca-
ton of the memorial Is ct the intersection
of two grand avenues and on broad,
level, unwooded, and unfenced plateau.
AS has been stated before, it oyerlooks tho
scene of some of General Hills greatest
achievements. and the whole locality Is in:
dissolubly associated with his name and
his fame.
The ceremonies at the monument were
appointed to begin at noon. but, as usuat
on all such occasions, there were unavoio-
able delays. Long before the hour named,
however, the crowd began to assemble 81
the grounds. and as far as the eye could
reach IN every direction the sides OF the
roadways were lined with vehicles OK every
DESCRIPTION, and the clouds OF dust IN the
distance told of more coming. Ihe monu-
ment faces to the South, and Just
in front of it and across the CIR;
cular drive around it the grand stand
had been erected. The structure. when
was set apart for the especially inyited
guests, the orators, &c. was profuseiy
decorated with Confederate and State
flags. and Confederate bunting. Just OPP
poslte it and at the foot or the oastion
which supports tho base of the monument,
there was another stand about tye feet
souare, from which the unveilng cords
were to be pulled. This was similarly

THE MARcHErs IN SIGHT.
The head of the advancing column from
the city came III sight at twenty minutes
past IL O'Clock. and when about quarter
of q mile from the monument the cavalry
broke away in trot across the held 10 tne
southeast, the infantry turning inte the
same field behind them. The whole move
ment as viewed from o distance was ex-
ceedinoly striking and realistic, and.
whether so intended or not, had the effect
OF suggesting an effort on the part OF the
cavalry to head off the infantry. The
artillery then moved forward. the camps
closing mn the gap, and the former after
pass,ng in front OF the grand stand moved
into the field to the west and unlimbered,
and the veterans were massed III front or
the grand stand and between 1t and the
monument.
In the meantime tho guests in carriages
had eliohted. tho marshal and his aides
had picketed their horses, and the stand
had RAPIDLY filled up. Among those who
occupied seats on in 1t were Governor and
Mrs. Mckinney Mrs. Saunders. sister OF

Heautlfylng the Eyes.

According to the London Optician
an interesting case may soon come be-
fore the courts involving the disclose
ure of one of the mysteries by which
the eyes Of a fashionable lady are
made dazzlingly beautiful. Itappears
that in a we'll known street in the
West End an establishment exists of
which the speciality is the "beautifca-
ton" of woman's eyes. Thither q
lady of fashion VENT be "beauti6ed"
preparatory to some social gathering
which she proposed to attend. The
operator applied to the eyes a mix
ture of which the principal Ingredient
is supposed to be belladonna, but
either on account of a mistake in the
lotion or through indebtedness in
the application, the pupils OF the
lady's eyes became so distended that
shortly after reaching the street shs
became almost blind and staggered
about helpless.
A friendly policeman found her in
this condition, and with the best in
t%entions proposed that she should &C
company him to the police station.
The unfortunate sufferer implored him
not to take her there. and by the per-
suasion and r Of reward induced
the constable to place her in a cab
and convey her to her doctor.
There she in contrite tones con-
fessed the dire results of attempting
to improve upon nature. Relief was
promptly forthcoming, but the physi-
clan warned her strongly OF tho folly
before sending her home.

HE eys'
But Somehow 1t Didn't Give the
Old Lady Any Satisfaction.

"Many funny things happen on the
big Sound steamers which never find
their way into print" said a travel
ing man, as he sat smoking in a hotel
lobby on upper Broadway.
"The last tripI made down to Bos-
ton al characterized by one of the
funniest incidents that l have ever
run across. There was aboard a New
England spinster, n of the most
sour-faced,. rasping-voiced, disagree
able old female that l have ever seen.
She was always giving trouble, and
kept the poor luggage steward con-
%stantly at her beck and call. At last
the man lost his temper and told her
to go to the devil.
The lady, in a high state of indigna-
ton reported the man to the captain.
That gentleman told the steward
he must find out the lady and apollo
rize to her. The steward consented
to do SO. At luncheon he appeared
and accosted the first lady at the
table thus: "Were you the lady /
told to go to the devil?" "No," said
this lady and several others, all
equally surprised and amused. At
last, by a series OF separateinterroga-
tions, he discovered the right lady.
She responded, with an Indignantly
v%irtuous air: "Yes l am the lady,

captain told me to tell you that you

Maoe Clean and Pure For Delicate

At the Victoria Inirmary, at Glas-
gov, Scotland, there is in use an ad-
mirable arrangement for removing
dirt and fog from the air, previously
to its entering the building. In this
infirmary the air is renewed six times
an hour, and before it enters the
wards it is washed by being passed
through an air washingscreen ofcords,
formed OF horse hair and hemp. This
material is closely wound ove a
wooden frame, and forms q close
screen, 16 feet long and - feet high,
affording nearly 200 square feet of
surface. There is constant 'trickling
Of water down this screen, by which
it is kept wet, and the air, in filtering
through it, has the dust and SCOT
particles removed, and when once
these have adhered to the wetted sur
face, a current of air of considerable
velocity will not carry them through
the serene, but the falling water floats
them down into the drain. An auto
matte flushing tank is fixed in q posi-
ton whereby twenty gallons of water
are instantaneously discharged over
the surface of the screen every hour,
to flush and remove any accumula-
tions of wetted dust, SCOT or germs
which may not be removed from the
screen by the trickling water over the
surface. This method will keep fog
from entering into the ventilating
chambers and hence into the building,
and on very foggy days the air within
the infrmary is perfectly clear and

Telephone Decisions.

Strange as it may seem, says Elec-
tricity, there r auditory as we'll as
optical decisions. Every subscriber
has two or three girls in his mind
whom he considers active and oblig-
ing. He has absolutely no means of
knowing who they are but he thinks
he can tell them by their voices, and
gets irritable when they are of duty.
As an illustration, not long ago atele-
phone official had reason to call or a
prominent subscriber, who devoted
considerable time to dilatinq on the
efficiency Of his girl. Helauded her to
heights delightful, and had thought of
recommending her to a friend for a
lucrative position. The case was
reported to the manager, who, upon
Investigation, found that tho very
knowing but well meaning gentleman
was bewitched by the general sweet
ness of the telephone Office voice. The
line, being a particularly light one,
had no regular operator, and al a
general rule no less than ten differ
emit girls handled the wire in a day.
But he knew "his girl" every time,
which speaks well for the vocal sys.
tenn in use for training voices.

SNAKES CHARM FISH:
A Case Where a Snake Charmed 8
8hoaI or Shad.

A Case Where a Snake Charmed a
shoaI or Shad.
The water was perfectly clear and
not above two feet deep, the day calm
tho surface easily observed. In the
deepest part of the pool a solid
phalanx of little fish, if 1 may call it,
was swimming around and around in
a ring of about two feet in diameter,
the band being about six inches wide
and apparently two Or three layers
deep.
Around and around they went, at
the least motion on our part breaking
ranks, to resume their circus at once
when we were quiet again. We were
interested, of course, andpuzzled, and
we tried for a half hour or more to
learn the cause of such unusual move
ments.
Our talk, for we did talk, did not
disturb them, from which we inferred
that they could not hear US; our
slightest movement did, from which
We inferred they could see us.
Carefully crawling a little nearer, we
discovered the center OF the moving
circle was a large water snake, coiled,
quiet and watchful. Ornithologists
have toldus in unreliable school books
that snakes can and often do charm
birds, and some have in their more
elaborate works tried to substantiate
that theory. l never believed it, and
I certainly never heard of snakes
charming fish; but what were these
shad doing? Were they charmed?-

Practical Hints.

A long-handled shovel, which canbe
used without STOPPING, saves the back
Of the man who uses it.
Any hour when no other work is
pressing can be put into advantage in
forking over the manure heap.
If not already done cover overy your
strawberry bed with straw to remain
and protect the fruit from theground.
Set out your new currant plantation
as soon asthe condition of the ground
will permit.
Economy is the proper term for
good farming. Save the Titles all
around. Chips will make as good fire
while they last as big cord wood.
Put your sawdust around your cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. They
need good manure also and will pay
for it.
In setting out trees, shrubs, berry
plants, berry bushes orfowers, besurs
you leave no open interstices under
the roots; make sure that the soil
touches the roots at every point.
Cultivating the ground for flowers
and delicate early vegetables can be
better accomplished by a four.tined
spading fork than with a spade.
Visit a nursery and see how spades
may be kept bright. The digginsupo of
trees needs the very best kind OF a
tool. Few farmers have a good spade,
and q less number keep it bright and
sharp.
The winter winds often pile up the
leaves of the woods so that they may
be easily gathered and used for bed.

Vigorous, healthy fowls may almost

as disease approaches its worst stages,

Lettuce is one of the first and most
generally planted of the garden crops.
Early curled silesia is one of the best
of the very early varieties. Have the
soil thoroughly fined and rich, as a
quick growth is necessary to make
crisp, tender lettuce. If manure is
used, have it well-fined and thorough
ly incorporated with the soil. Sow
the seed in drills, M foot apart, and
cover very lightly. Too deep cover-
ing will often cause the seed to rot. If
planted very early a light mulch of
clean wheat straw will help protect it
and aid in making an early growth; it
can be removed as soon as the wealth.
er becomes warmer. Use seed enough
for a good stand, and then if neces-
sary thin out after the plants come up

Radishes are hardy and will stand
considerable cold without injury. In
stead Of using much animal manure
get a supply OF well:rotted chip ma
nure, and after preparing the soil ap-
ply it as @ top dressing and work into
the soil with a good steel rake. Mark
out the drills about a foot apart and
about On inch deep; SOW the seed
