Ward Is True to Poll.

While it is probably true that each
nation has it's own ideal of feminine
beauty, yet I think we American men
are ready to acknowledge really hand
some woman wherever we see her..
While in England was greatly sur
prised to see SO few fine looking wom-
en-, though Englishmen claim a supe-
riority in this respect. Possibly I was
unfortunate in not happening to meet
them, though I kept a keen lookout
both on the streets, in the theaters and
at other places where fashionable per-
sons assembled. During all the time I
was abroad 1 saw very few beautiful
women, but since my return have been
much more fortunate.
Americans should congratulate them
selves in possessing not only women
who are of superior type of beauty to
those in any other part Of the world,
but also on account Of the endless va
rieties included in this type. There is a
sameness in the appearance of English
women which soon grows tiresome to
the eye. In America, on the other hand,
owing to a salutary mixture of the
races, there are all styles of feminine
beauty, though constituting one general
class. Those who attended the horse
show must have been impressed with
this fact, and it has been conspicuous
also at the exhibition of portraits at the
National Academy Of Design. Ward

Then of a Lottery King.
On tongue of wooded land formed
by the Glebe and Goldsborough creeks
in Talbot county there is a house with
romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob headed by the Rev.
Seaborn Cotton, tried and condemned
by Governor Endicott to die, pardoned
by the king and let off with fogging
at the carts tail on the highway, he
found sanctuary in Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum Oh
the tongue of land that cools itself in
the pleasant waters of St. Michael's
river-Miles they call it now. Here the
indo1nitable Quaker abode and prosper
ed, wearing his hat in the presence OF
governors and magistrates and testify
ing for the truth and the light" with
out fear Of clubs or cart tails. Those
easy going eastern shoremen actually
made him burgess, and he and his de-
seendants long dwelt i'll peace in the old
brick manor house, of which frag-
ment still survives.
In time by lapse Of heirs the PLACED
fell to the possession Of Richard France,
the famous ''lottery king'' Of Maryland,
who built the turreted villa there and
adorned the ground with fountains and
winding walks, Conservatives and gar
den gods, to the ELUSIVE wonder and
admiration of the natives But Mary
land, taking up scruples set her face
against lotteries, and France for time
coouetted with Delaware until Della
ware in like manner turned prudish,
and the last we hear of the "lottery
king is that he had died in debtors
prison.
Then the garden gods fell on their
faces, and thorns sprang up and choked
them, and all was desolation and respect
ability. Again the villa waited not in
vain, for one day the windows were
opened, exposing all the CHASTITY gaps
in their panes, and a strange man, I'M
tidy and shock headed, pottered about
in the weedy, seedy garden, a grim and
churlish recluse. But negro curiosity,
once sharply piqued, is persistent and
penetrating, and forthwith Ethiopia be-
gan to gossip about the strange man,
how that he was a blacksmith from
Connecticut and an oracle in local
political circles, one to whom "Big Six"
was spell to conjure with. And pres
emily the disheveled interloper was
joined by a bearded and venerable COM
panion, with a head like pear, who
lurked and waited behind the close
gates and the screen of shrubbery. Then
a furtive yacht at night in St. Michael's
river took the bearded mystery aboard
and was off to the bay and the sea, and
the police, who went poking about The
place day or two later, looked foolish
and asked one another inane conun-
drums about the cunning fitting of

Good When You Find It.

Judge Caldwell of North Carolina
was slow to see the point of joke. On
trying case on one occasion the solic-
itor called in vain for a witness named
Sarah Mooney. AS she did not answer
he informed the court that he could
not proceed without ceremony. " The
bar laughed, but the judge looked puz-
zled. Some weeks after that when at
home the point dawned on him. and he
broke into a loud laugh. Upon his wife
inquiring the cause Of his merriment
he explained that the solicitor had call
ed Sallie Mooney, and when she did
not answer he had said he could not
proceed without ceremony. The wife
said she did not see the point. The
judge said it had taken him three weeks
to find it, but when she did see 1t it
would be very funny.-Green Bag.

INCIDENTS OF ARMY LIFE
Unpleasant Social Experiences Sometimes
Experienced In Posts and Garrisons.

Unpleasant Social Experiences Sometimes
Experienced In Posts and Garrisons.
Notwithstanding the fact that the off
GERS Of the American army arc the very
pink of courtesy, they sometimes IN
post and garrison life have very unpleas-
ant social experiences. An officer i'll
garrison is assigned quarters not accord
ing to the necessities OF his family, but
in accordance with his rank.
1t therefore comes out quite frequent
" when a new officer is sent to post
that there are many changes Of quar-
tiers, so as to make room for him. When
a new major arrives, for instance, he
selects the quarters that suit him best,
it matters not who occupies them, pro-
vided the occupant is below him In
rank. He can turn out a major lower
on the list CT any captain or lieutenant,
and each of these when dispossessed can
choose for himself what quarters suit
him best if occupied by an inferior III
rank. One move, therefore, may make
a dozen others. The women of the ar
NY, it is said, are greater sticklers for
their rights than the men. But the men
themselves, while preserving all the
forms of highest courtesy, sometimes
push their authority to the fullest limit.
For instance, at two company post
in the west some years ago a captain of
infantry was in command, as his COM
mission was of older date than that of
the captain of cavalry also there. The
two captains were mutually antipathic.
In their official intercourse all the forms
were observed, but still it was plain to
all that they cordially disliked each
other. One day the senior captain Or
dered the junior to take file of men to
the forest and cut the firewood needed
for the winter. This duty ordinarily
would have been given to a sergeant or
corporal. The cavalry captain had no
recourse and was obliged to obey. Just
as he got outside the post the mail,
which came only now and then at in
tervals of a week or so, arrived, and
the cavalryman stopped for letters. One
of these brought him his commission
as major He at once issued an order
taking command of the post and then
another order assigning the wood chop
ping duty to the late commandment -

What Allied the Speech.

At the close of one of the sessions in
the trial of Warren Hastings, when
most of those engaged had gathered in
the anteroom, DR.. Parr stalked up and
down the room in his pedantic, pompous

speeches of Fox and Sheridan, but say

Burke, sensitive at this omission and
anxious for some commentator from
the great authority, could at last con-
tain himself no longer and burst out:
doctor, didn't you like my speech?"

suPERsTlTIoNs ABOUT TEA.

Quaint ideas Concerning the Cup That
Cheers but Does Not Inebriate.
There are probably more quaint super
stitions woven about tea than about any
thing else in the world. If you put
cream in your cup before the sugar, it
will ''cross your love-" so you must be
very careful. If, while the tea is being
made, the lid, removed to pour i'll the
water, is forgotten to be replaced, is
the sure sign of the approaching arrival
Of a stranger.
If tea stalk floats in the cup, it is
sailed "beau,' and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and then
hold the spoon upright in the center of
the cup.
IF the ''beau'' is attached to the spoon
and clings to it, he will be sure to call
very shortly, if not on that very even
ing, but if the stalk goes to the side of
the cup, he will not come. In some
places this is also said to denote the
coming of stranger, and if the stalk
is soft the newcomer will be lady; if
tough, gentleman.
If you want to know how many years
will elapse before you are married,
balance your spoon on the edge of your
cup, first noting that it is perfectly dry,
fill another spoon with tea, and holding
it above the balanced spoon let the
drops of tea gather to the tip of tho
spoon and gently fall into the bowl Of
the one below. Count the drops. Each
one stands for year.
If the cluster of small air bubbles
formed by the sugar collect and remain
in the center of the cup, it is a sign Of
fair weather. If they rush to the sides,
there will be rain very shortly.-Phil

Robert Burns.

He was born and brought up in the
midst of poverty and comparative igno~
rance. When, in 1857, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne visited the poets residence at
Dumfries and took notice of its filthy
and malodorous surroundings, he Won
dered that Burns could have preserved
his marvellous genius in such an unsa-
worry spot. The author of ''The Scarlet
Letter. was even more Mortified at the
wretched aspect of Burns farm at Moss
giel and could not compare the habita-
ton in which the Scottish bard passed
so many Of his days to pigsty. 1T is
sad,'' wrote Hawthorne, ''to think Of
anybody-not to say poet, but any hui
man being-sleeping, eating, thinking,
praying and spending all his home life
in this miserable howell" He praises the
"heroic merit of Burns for being no
worse man amid ''the squalid him
ORANGES" that beset the poet S moral and
intellectual development.
Hawthorne was right. Low associa-
lions, bad sanitary conditions and the
companionship of the vile are all but
fatal to human virtue. Burns was never
utterly degraded. He was always, in
spite of his failings, true man, and
his passionate love for his fellow men
outlived all his sufferings.
His relations with Jean Armour,
though they proved his frailty and hers,
were honorable to him in some respects,
for he left nothing undone to repair the
error of his youth. His intemperance
was rather the effect of his convivial
disposition than of any vicious tenden-
cy. If he sinned, he paid the penalty,
one might say. with his life. His ca
reer terminated at 81, and, having re-
gard to his circumstances and opportu-
mites, his record as a poet is unparal
leled, for no man ever achieved so much
as Burns with SO little aid from the
world and with such terrible impedi
ments in his path. Westminster Re-
