Edwin Booths Tobacco Habits.

Edwin Booths physical disability is
generally ascribed to excessive indul-

famous tragedian smokes are marvels of

a Great Fish.

There was landed recently at Strom-
ness Orkney, n halibut of extraordinary
dimensions, measuring 6 feet 10 inches
i'll length and weighing no less than 2i5
pounds. The fish was discovered by two

of the halibut. The weapon entered the

but on account of it size and weight it
was only after considerable difficulty
that it was got on board. 1t proved a

was in a first rate condition. In its

Emperor Williams Defeat.

The defeat of the German army bill,
from whatever point of view it is re-
garded, is very serious affair. In the
first place it increases, only little, per-
haps, but still increases, the probability
of war The emperor, rebuffed at home,
cannot accept any kind of rebuff abroad
and will be far more sensitive than be-
fore about slight incidents and more i'll
clined to believe that France or Russia
is taking advantage of his situation.
Moreover. Frenchmen will think that
the internal struggle will weaken Ger
many, as it would weaken France, and
the hope of finding moment to fight
Germany when she is weak is exceeding
ly keen. Too much must not be made
of this danger, because the rulers of
France are much better informed than
her journalists and can see that Il decla-
ration OF war would at once rcunitc the
German people, but still it exists and
must be recorded. In the second place,
it is probable that tho rejection Of the
bill does leave Germany weaker than she
should be.-London Spectator.

tention at this season of the year. There
never has been such diversity Of styles
or variety in materials employed to make
up this useful article of dress. Every
woman must have from three to n dozen
of these waists, or her summer wardrobe
is not complete. The silk blouse makes

fancy zouave jacket. Ono shown i'll the

with feathers completed this very "chic"

Take peck of peaches, ripe, but
perfectly firm; peel and throw into cold
water to prevent their turning black.
For this quantity of fruit take quart
of best cider vinegar and pounds
of sugar. When this is boiling, take ont
as many peaches as will boil without
crowdng; let them stand on a linen
towel for a few moments for the water
to run off. Stick . cloves in each
peach, let them boil five minutes, take
them out and put them in your glass
jars. Put more peaches in the vinegar
and continue this until all have been
cooked i'll this way; then pour the sirup
over tho fruit in the jars, screw on the
tops and let them stand a week; then
pour off tho strip and scald and skim

Four Sad summer Deathu.

Four of my friends during the terrible
heat of last July died in homes where
every convenience was possible, but from
which women were absent, With their
families scattered in the country these
men were forced to remain in the CITY.
In each case the thousand and one little
attentions that mars home receives at
the hands of woman were neglected by
the servants. Meals were irregularly
served and more irregularly eaten; rooms
were ventilated just as tho servants re-
menbered or forgot them. That terri
BILE week of incessant heat, which we all
remember, came and exhausted these
men.
Dysentery and kindred summer ills
are not far behind man when he is run
down by sleepless nights, harassed by
business, living i'll cheerless, disman-
tied, uncared for home under torrid days
and sitting nights. In one instance it
was Il young man in the flush of sue
cess, who came home one evening only
to die during the night, too weak even
to ring for assistance In another case

the following afternoon. In the other
two cases the blow came not so sudden
ly, but yet within week. And in each
instance the families knew not that the
handspring of their support were ill I'M
til they were dead. Perhaps the pres
ence of mother, wife or daughter might
not have staid the hand of death, but
who will deny the efficiency of womanly
care in sickness?-E. W. Box in Ladies'

MAYS LANDING, N. j., July "A
tramp applied to James Hammond, a
farmer, near Bricksboro, yesterday for
breakfast. Mr.. Hammond told the NJ an
he could have something to eat II he
would cut wood until meal could be
prepared.
This the tramp refused to do, and
when be became surly the farmer or
dered him away. He had to threaten
the man with gun to compel him to
leave. The tramp left threatening to
revenge himself When Farmer Ham
mond went to his barn this morning he
found four cows, a horse and a mule
dead, their Threats having been cut.
On piece of cardboard stuck in a
crack in the wall was written a message
from the tramp. 1t read: You will give
the next honest man bite TO eat when
he asks in q decent manner"
The farmer notified his neigh bors and
they at once started in pursuit of the
man, but did not find him.

This table shows large excess OF
strength in favor of Colonel O'Ferrall,
though it represents only Ii per cent.
of the ontire number of delegates to be
elected. But 1t is an extremely con-
servative estimate as it, for instance,
places Campbell county as solidly against
him when he is reasonably sure to have
annmber of delegates from that county
BY the fourth Monday in July in
elusive over one.half of the delegates
will have been elected probably ooo
OF them. Of that 1000 Colonel OFerrall
Will have over 700 and be within less

delegates chosen and to be chosen in
the Southwest, recognized as the seat of
Major Tyler's greatest strength. Out
of this field Colonel O'Ferrall is assured
of not less than 225 delegates with
good chance of receiving $50.
