value of having wheat field near mar

Hereditary Needles.

Needles have never been supposed to
be hereditary, but a recent case re-
ported by a physician of eminence Of
fers undoubted evidence to the con-
trary. A lady accidentally ran a needle
into her foot thirty years ago and it
lay apparently dormant in her system
for so many years that its existence
was almost forgotten. In 1878 she was
married, and year after the birth of
her infant daughter the needle made
its appearance in the infants shoulder.
There could be no doubt that it was
the original needle by which the mother
had been attacked in 1860, for it was of
a peculiar and now obsolete pattern,
and the mother distinctly remembered
that needles of that pattern were in
use at the time of her attack. There
could be no doubt that the infant in
herited the needle from her mother
and that henceforth physicians will
expect to find natural tendency to
needles in the tissues. AS it is asserted
that people have died from needles, al
though there are very few such cases
on record, the insurance companies
will doubtless add to the questions
which they put to candidates for in
surance: Did your father or mother
ever swallow needles, and, if so, how
many, and what kind-sewing, darning
or carpet?" Moments.

erty OF the North.

Lincoln Said the Song Became the Prop
erty of the North.
Writing of the receipt of news OF
Lees surrender, Mr.. Noah Brooks says:
AS the forenoon wore on, an i'm
promptu procession came up from the
navy ard, dragging six boat-howitz-
ers, which were fred through the
streets as they rolled on. This crowd,
reinforced by the hurrahing legions
along the route, speedily swelled to
enormous proportions, and filed the
whole area in front of the white house,
where guns were fred and bands
played while the multitude waited fes
speech. The young hope of the
house of Lincoln-"Tad"-m his ap-
pearance at the well-known window
from which the president always
spoke, and was received with great
shouts of applause, whereupon he
waved captured rebel flag, to the up
roarious delight of the sovereign peo-
pie below.
When Lincoln came to the window
shortly after, the scene before him was
one of the widest confusion. 1t
seemed impossible for men adequately
to express their feelings They fairly
yelled with delight, threw up their
hats again and again, or threw up one
another's hats, and screamed like mad.
From the windows of the white house
the surface of that crowd looked like
an agitated sea of hats, faces and
rms. Quiet being restored, the presi-
dent briefly congratulated the people
on the occasion which called out such
unrestrained enthusiasm, and said that
as arrangements were being made for
more formal celebration he would
defer his remarks until that occasion;
for" said he, II shall have nothing
to say then if it is all drlbbled out of
me now"
He said that as the good old tune of
"Dixie" had been captured on the 9th
| of April, he had submitted the ques-
ton of its ownership to the attorney
| general, who had decided that that
tune was now our lawful property;
and he asked that the band should
play it, which was done with will,
yankee Doodle" following. Then the
president proposed three cheers for
Gen. Grant and the officers and men
under him, then three cheers for the
navy, all of which were given heartily,
the president leading off, waving his
hand; and the laughing, joyous crowd
dispersed.

Lee was much affected. He called
the rest of the ragged veterans into the

would not be proper for him to hide in
the mountains or to seek escape in any
way from whatever might befall him,

LEES SOLDIERS.
Tho Loyal Fellows Were Faithful to tho

Gen. Robert E. Lee, the confederate
commander in the civil war, was al
most idolized by his soldiers. A curious
incident, illustrating both the love of
the men and Lees courtesy toward
them, is related by a confederate vet
eran.
Not long after the surrender, when
rumors were abroad that Lee was
likely to be executed for treason, the
general was living at his home in
Richmond. One day confederate
soldier, in the ragged remnants of a
butternut uniform, came up to Gen
Lee as he sat on the veranda of his
house and saluted very respectfully.
The general saluted in return, and
asked the man what he wanted.
General" said he, there's fifty
more of as fellows round the corner"
Indeed! Why don't they come up
to the house?"

DRESS NOTES.
A Few. Hints for women on the Latess
STYLES.


The decision of fashion is decidedly in
favor of very short and very full basques.
This is perplexing to many women.
The style is very unbecoming to women
who have large hips; it makes short
figure look still shorter, and on the
very tall and correspondingly slight
form such a basque looks ridiculous.
If anyone feels so fashion-bound that
she must pertorce submit to what is
most trying mode, let the same devotee
elect for somewhat heightened tabled
jaclSet-bodice. Vandylle points are
certainly more becoming than square
tabs, while these latter in their turn
nre vast improvement on the full
short basque with straight edge. Do
not concede too much as regards the
length of the basque; suit your own
figure and stature. Broad forms should
concentrate all the fullness of the
basque at the back. The truly artistic
woman is in a state of revolt when an
unbecoming style is dictated, but one
can always effect a compromise sup
posing one lacks the courage to defy
fashion and choose the strictly unbe-
coming without reference to OF regard
of her opinion. Valenciennes lace is
used in most lavish manner upon
nearly every article of dress. Cambria
gowns are elaborately decorated with
it. These gowns will be as eXpen-
sive, in strict sense, as silk would
be, for the expense of getting them up
when soiled will be excessive, and the
process will have to be constantly re-
peated. Laundry work in our country
is not made the fine art it is in Paris,
where so many women take UP the
work con amore in sense, though, OF
course, following their vocation as a
means of obtaining livelihood And
while in delicacy and deftness French
laundry work is uneXcelled, and not.
withstanding the fact that no laundress
In this country can approximate the
perfection of Partisan blancheuse,
the former workwoman asks more than
double the price of that of the Partisan
for the freshening manipulations o1
her hands.-N. Y. Post.

The General Himself Was Tired Hearing
1t RecIted, and Always Evaded 1t.
Speaking of how weary and sick Of
''Ben Bolt" it's author, Thomas Dunn
English, had lately become because of
the "Trilby" craze. n woman said: IF
Gen. Sheridan was alive, Mr.. English
would be sure of the generals sympa-
thy, for if ever a man got tired of a
poem, it was Phil Sheridan of 'Sheri-
dams Ride" Mrs. Sheridan was asked
recently to tell the story of the famous
ride as the general himself used to tell
it. Mrs. Sheridan answered.: He
wasn't in the habit of telling it. 1t
was told to him often enough. Wher-
ever he went some body recited that
poem. Whenever he was invited to en-
tertainments or suppeis or dinners,
some boy or girl told him how he rode.
1t went on for years, and the general
would come home SO disgusted that he
often declared he would never accept
another invitation for reunions ar cell
ebrations unless promised that he
shouldn't be recited at and told how he
rode.
1.-The only time know of when Gen.
Sheridan himself told the story in pub
lie was one night at a dinner at Mrs
Hale's house. Everybody saves the
best for the wife of the senator FROM
Maine, and one night was surprised
to hear the general finishing the ac-
count of that ride. But it was told SO
quietly that only the group about him
knew what was going on. He heard it
too often ever to want to tell of it him

could cause all this mighty pother in
the air of Washington; and if their nap
in the gray dawn was disturbed with
dreams of guns and of terms of armies
surrendered to Grant by Lee, they
awolxe later to read of these in the
daily papers; for this was Secretary
Stanton's way of telling the people
that the army of northern Virginia
had at last laid down its arms, and that
peace had come again.
But the great news had really reached
Washington the night before palm
Sunday, and a few newspaper men
and others of late habits, who were up
through the darkness and the damp
ness of those memorable hours, had
sent the glad tidings all over the union,
rom Maine to California, and had
then unbent themselves in n private
and exclusive jollification. When the
capital was broad awake, and had
taken in the full value of the news,
the fever heat that had fired the
city on the day after the fall of Rich
mond did not return. Popular feeling
had eliminated then, and after that
great event there was nothing that
could surprise us, not even If jeff"
Davis himself had come to Washington
to surrender.
The streets were shoclingly muddy,
but were all alive with people singing
and cheering, carrying flags, and sa-
luting everybody, hungering and
thirsting for speeches. Gen. Butler
was called out, among others, and he
made u speech full of surprising
liberality and generosity towards the
enemy. The departments gave another
holiday to their clerks; SO did many
business firms; and the treasury en-
ployes assembled in the great corridor
of their building and sang ''Old Hun
dreth" with thrilling, even tear-eom-
pelling effect. Then they marched in
u body across the grounds to the white
house, where the president was at
breakfast, and serenaded him with
THE Star Spangled Banner. Noah

offense of telling a lie to one of tine
other officers After the major had
heard the evidence he said to the cul-
prit: "Do you know what will become
of you if you tell lies to your otiicers?"
The soldier quickly replied; Yes sir;
shall go to the hot place" Worse
