NOTES AND PERSONALS.

A GOLD watch was recently dug up
near Atlanta, Ga, on the old breast
works in Coke's district Cobb county.
The case was in good condition. but the
works were entirely eaten up by rust
The owner is supposed to have been
killed during the war.
1T is sad fact that Webster Bell,
who was Gen. Grants special courier to
Gen. Sherman, in Georgia, bearing the
news of Lees surrender, died recently
in Roxbury, Mass, with none to care
for him but strangers About year
ago he applied for pension. but the
papers granting him a pension arrived
only after his death and burial.
AN interesting little war story has
Gov. Jones, of Alabama, for it's hero.
At the time Gordon was resisting Sher-
mans advance, Jones, then a staff cap
tain, was delivering message from his
chief, when he saw little child, clad
only in it's night clothes, hiding in ter
ror behind frame house in the direct
tracks os the bullets from each army.
Jones rode forward, took the child on
his horse, and galloped with her to the
confederate line. When the union
forces saw the act they ceased firing,
and there was an impromptu cessation
of hostilities until the child had been
carried to point of safety.
FEW union generals are held in high
than Gen. Galusha Pennypacker, for
whom the Tennesseeans especially
have warm feeling of admiration. In
Nashville, just after the close of the
war, and during the, gloomy days of
the reconstruction period, his patient
and kindly treatment of his former foes
did much to allay the bitter hatreds of
the time. Gen. Pennypacker's notable
war record is recalled by the recent

CLEAN, dry sand scattered over the

means of keeping clean. When sand
cannot be had, wheat bran can be used.
BY scattering some of the grain
among the litter it keeps the hens at
work, gives them better appetite and
keeps them in a better condition for

Australian Hospitality.

Australian station hospitality keeps
the latch-string always out and says,
"Come when you wish, do what you
like, and stay as long as you can. y
A writer in Scribner's Magazine
says that the Australian host places
himself, his family, and all that Is
his at the service of the guest-flsh-
ing-tackle, breech-loaders, horses and
servants.
Such hospitality is rarely abused,
though the writer mentions, one ex-
ceptioual case, where guest pro-
longed his visit until 1t wore out his
welcome.
To one station came visitor, whose
original intention of staying q month
was reconsidered, and he remained
two. Six months passed and he was
still there. He enjoyed himself huge
ly with horses, dogs and guns, de-
veloped an encouraging appetite, and
his host did not complain.
After about nine months his hosts
manner became less warm, and at the
end Of the year he spoke no more tc
his guest. The latter was not sensi
tive, but fingered on for the space Of
a second year, when he departed and
went to visit somebody else. During
these two years he was never tolt
that he had stayed long enough ant
would do we'll to go away.

tistic the male-up OF outdoor toilets
this season. In my third picture you
will find charming gown for an out
door fete. The material Is white crepe
with multicolored satin stripes. In Sc
lecting the MORE ribbon for trimming,
you may either choose a tone harmonic
ing with the ground material or with
one OF the stripes. The dress should be
lined with satinette, and the bottom Of
the skirt be finished with a pieated
fiounce Of the material, with rosettes
set as indicated and forming the
head of the hounce. The front
and back of the corsage is
pleated. There ls but one seam, which is
placed under the arm. The lining OF
the corsage should bs carefully fitted
and boned before the crepe tissue is
laid on. The dress hooks at the back.
The neck and arm-holes are not cut out
until the material has been completely
adjusted. The collar forms part OF the
pleated front and back. The traces
start from the corselet, and have bows
on the shoulders, and, although the corse-
let Is very wide in front, 1t diminishes
to point at the back, where the braces
meet and end In O bow. 1t Is made OF
the moire ribbon, and should be boned.
At the back the long ends fall to the
bottom OF the skirt. They are OF one
piece with the braces, and pass under
the corselet, which Is set Off with a

the front, the MORE ribbons are placed

THE Johnstown flood separated
many families that were not united
for many days, and there may still be
former residents of that little city
who are mourning the loss Of friends
who may be living. A reunion after
long separation has recently taken
place. James Agnew and his family
had their home washed away by the
food. The mother and children were
rescued and cared for by the Relief
Committee, and then sent to friends
In Tennessee. They never heard from
the father of the little family, and he
was given up for lost, as among those
who were in nameless graves. But
Mr.. Agnew all this time has been
searching for his lost family. He was
swept down by the rushing torrent,
and amid the wreckage was bruised
and injured so that he became uncon.
scious. He was cared for In the Red
Cross Hospital, and lay there un-
known, shattered In mind and body.
When he recovered so as to be able tc
identify himself his family had beer
sent away, and the confusion of the
records placed them also among the
lost But diligent search has, aftel
three years separation, reunited thu

The succulent Lobster.

A Maine lobster dealer has orders
from one New York firm for $50 bar
rels OF Holsters a week, and he says
that 1t is the great appetite of the
Gothamites for these shell fish which
makes the price so high. New
Workers will have Holsters, no matter
what the price may be, and they are
now paying Is cents pound at
wholesale. Fifteen cents pound
for lobster means about 40 cents a
pound for lobster meat. The traffic
between Maine and New York has
reached such proportions that a
Friendship man has constructed Q

Goethe and Heine.

It did not speak well for Goethe's
penetration or his generosity that he
never recognized, or at least never
acknowledged, the poetic genius of
Heinrich Heine. The younger man
was, however, filled with glowing adj
miration for the great master OF Ger
man poetry and prose, and was ire
sistibly drawn to Weimar by his de-
sire to see personally the most won
derful man Of the time.
Goethe received Heine with his
usual graceful cordiality, but In the
long conversation which followed no
reference was made to Heine's work
In any way. Goethe kept to topics OF
the most common order, such as the
poplar avenue from Jena to Weimar.
Suddenly he broke off to say to
Heine: "What are you busying your
self with now?"
with one Faust" quickly and
gracefully replied the young poet.
Goethe, the second part Of whose
"Fa lst" had not then appeared,
started with surprise, and asked, In a
pOl0Ucu UOne.
"Have you no further business than
thatsfn Weimar, Herr Heine?"
To which Heine, who was never
slow of comprehension, instantly re.
piled: "Withmy feetover your thresh'
old, all my business in Weimar 1:
ended" and Immediately took his
leave.
His modesty, which always pre-.
vented his being the first to speak OF
his own work, might well be copied
by young writer's who seemed to fee
that by virtue OF a single published
article or poem they are entitled tC
the privilege OF boring every casual
acquaintance with the history Of their
literary aspirations and genius.
