DIR. HoGE's REMARKS.

When DR.. Lacy had concluded his
mastery address which The VIRGISIAS
presents almost in its entirety. DR..
Moses ID. Hoge was introduced. DR.,
Hoge spoke with great feeling. He
said that the Confederate veterans
have an important duty to perform. 1t
is their duty to honor the memory of
those who fell fighting for cause
which they knew to be right.
1t Is their duty to instruct the ris.
ing generation and sec that events of
history are told without prejudice, and
build monuments to perpetuate the
memory of orr gallant dead. He clio.
quentiy, alluded to the great Confeder.
nte leaders. Lee. Jackson, Hill, Stew.
art. and said that these could have ac.
complished but little but for the cour.
age aud devotion OF the private soldier.
DR.. Hoge was listened to with undi
vlded attention and his remarks were
applanded with enthusiasm. AT the
CONCLUSION OF DIR. Hoge's address the
assenblage was dismissed with the
benediotion by DR.. M. B. Wharton and

The National Motto.

The circumstances attending the
adoption OF the legend re Pluribus
Unum' as the motto of the United
States has never been fully explained
by the historians. 1t WAS probably
used on COINS land some say upon
early Colonial flags long before it was
regularly recognized by the leading
officials of the new Republic The
oldest coin bearing the motto in full
is colonial cent coined by New Jer
sey in the year 1856. The same year
it appeared on small medal recog.
ni2ed among the collectors of coins as
"the Confederatio. This medal was
a National authority of the General
Government. 1t bore on one side
thirteen stars and a blazing sun, the
latter surrounded by the word "Con.
federatto, " which gives it the name by
which it is known to the numismatists
The words in the headline, explains
st. Louis Republic, are undoubtedly
from Virgil's "Moretus, poem de-
voted to a description of a certain
salad. In the rhyming recipe he gives
instructions for making the proper
herbs and pounding the same in
mortar until the various colors blend
as one. Some one has very appropri
ately said that "the Colonies were
mixed IN the mortar OF the Revolution
and came out as one homogeneous
Nation"

How a Swallow Died.

This is the story of curious mis-.
hap which befell swallow near Cold
Spring, n. Y. w. L. Calver was
standing in barnyard at that place.
1t WAS blustery dag, and the wealth
er-vane on the barn WAS kept in con.
slant motion by the shifting wind. Mr..
Calver looked at the vane. He had
looked at it twenty times before dur
ing the day, but this time it was diff
ferent. Evidently bird had perched
upon it. Mr., Calver thought it the
most unsuitable perch possible. But
the bird remained there all day.
Towards evening the boys on the
farm tried to dislodge the bird by
throwing stones at it, 1t did not 60
away. Next day it was still there, and
then an investigation was made. One
OF the boys climbed ont of the cupola
window and, looking up, found that
the bird was swallow; that, far from
being perched on the vane, it was i'm
paled. The vsne stuck right through
the birds breast. The swallow was.
OF course, dead. Its position made
reaching it an impossibility, so it had
to be left where it was. At last only
the skeleton was left. Finally even
that fell to pieces. 1t is thought that
in one of the sudden downward swoops
which swallows make in flight the bird
did not SEE the rapidly shifting vane,
and that the latter veered around Just
in time to impale the swallow through
the breast.

STATELINEsS IN WOMEN,

Statellness in women proceeds from
sources somewhat different from state
Illness in men. 1t is much more indie.
pendent, to begin with, of outward
gifts. Not to mention our own Queen,
who, as people who are not courteous
affirm, can be stately to swfulness,
and Queen Isabella, of Spain, who. in
spite of her history and her bulk, is
regal to an unusual degree, it is Ger.
tain that the stateliness of Maria
Theresa impressed all who came in
contact with her, and certain also that
no man as homely and unreserved as
she was, in speech and bearing, would
have been credited with stateliness.
1t seems to be more allied in women
than in men with independence of
mind, or sense that the will is its
own justification, an absence, that it,
of fear of external influence The per,
sonality sufiicies to itself, and there
fore there is stRtelineSs. That is, we
fancy, the secret reason why stateliness
III women annoys most men, and
many of the same sex. They think
they ought to be more influential,
and resent what they consider to be
aloofness. Unapproachableness, which
OF course is one of the conditions of
statellness, lrrltates men in women, be.
ing, III fact, faint af1ront to their
amour propre, and We think many
women feel that, too. At least, we
notice that this form of praise, when.
ever it is given to women, is a little
cold, and that the reverence stately
woman excites is apt to be little
chilly.
There is reason for that in nature,
the first function of a woman being to
attract, and reason, too, in the con.
fusion which most men make in their
thoughts when they are thinking of
women, that stateliness must indicate
either hauteur or unkindliness. Very
often 1t Is not SO at all, some of the
sweetest women being stately; when
man, or, for that matter, woman, at
tributes to woman stateliness, there
is seldom complete cordiality in the
eulogistic word. The Spectator.

HOW TO MEET THE OIrFES.

AS so many American ladies are pre-.
sented at the British Court nevada avs.
it will be perhaps, both useful and
apropos to give few of the rules that
govern every ceremonial of the kind
that is held at Buckingham Palace. and
for these rules | am indebted to La1v
Constance Howard.
There are always present officials at
the drawing room whose business it is
to note any irregularity in dress and
to inform the wearer. These officials
have powers to prevent anyone inap-
propriately dressed from entering the
royal presence Full court dress for
ladies consists in an evening gown cut
low, with court bodice, short sleeves
and long train. In other respects the
dress may follow the current fashions.
Those who wish to wear hiph
court bodice must obtain her Maiesty's
permission to do so through the Lord
Chamberlain. The headdress must
consist OF plumes and veil. There
must not be less than three ostrich
feathers, either white or black. in case
OF mourning. A few years ago colored
feathers were worn, but this inclina-
ton to deviate from old customs was
vigorously repressed. Plumes must
be worn so that they can be clearly
seen when approaching her Majesty.
The wells, or lappets, must also be
either black or white. The old-fash.

Two boats are now being built to
carry loaded freight ears $50 miles
that Is, from Peshtigo, Wis, south.
ward to South Chicago. They will be
3l6 feet long, with forty-four feet
beam, and will each have capacity
of twentyeight freight cars -four
tracks, seven cars EACH. These boats
will be towed by tugs instead of hav-
ing engines Of their own. This long
route connects the Wisconsin and
Michigan Railroad with the lines run
ming east from Chicago, and a round
trip will be made every three days.
At South Chicago the boats will con.
meet directly with the Elgin, Joliet
and Eastern or outer belt line, which
can deliver cars to the Eastern roads,
thus avoiding the crowded Chicago
yards. San Francisco Examiner.

The Cliff DWellers

In New Mexico and Arizona there
are hundreds of ruins of huge houses
among the cliffs, from tour to six sto
ries in height and some of them hay.
ing over 800 rooms. They were built
by the Pueblo Indians, who. before
the new world was discovered, were
living IN their strange houses that were
forts, almost secure from attack by
their lnveterate foes, the fierce
Apaches. While hundreds of them
are crumbling with the dust
OF centuries, some have been occu.
pied by Pueblos within historic times.
They were invariably of stone, and laid
with remarkable skill. They are all
terraced and the front of the buildings
LOOK like flights of gigantic steps.
There are no doors or windows in
the outer walls. and no stairs, all en-.
trance being by ladders. They built
'nelr houses where nature had ar
ranged for their security, in the cliffs
or on the tops of mesas or rock ISL
anus Modern research has proved
That the "cliff dwellers" are not an ex.
tinct race, but have moved from the
deserted ruins as the centuries went
on and that the descendants are the
present Pueblo Indians, a peculiar and
interesting people, living comfortably.
peaceable and industrious. -Philadel.
