Cold Weather Suggestions.

As cold weather approaches women
try to devise means for preventing hands
and lips from chapping. All excellent
remedy to prevent chapping is cold
cream. A manicure says that it whitens
the skin more than any preparation. 1t
has taken the place of the old time rem
edy-mutton suet. 1t should be well
rubbed into the skin, and gloves. pref
erably white, slipped on. The palms of
the gloves should be slit in several places
to allow the air and prevent cramps of
tho muscles, and the finger tips clipped
off. Vaseline should never be allowed to
touch the hands. 1t turns the skin yell
low and leaves stain on the nails that
is hard to clear away.
In winter cold water should be used
sparingly. Its action roughens the skin
unpleasantly. Tepid water, with very
few drops of household ammonia and a
good lather of CASTLE or borax soap, is
advisable. II the hands are inclined to
redness, the trouble lies in the way OF
circulation, and slight gymnastics will

FUEL FOR PARIS.


The Coal From Three Countries Is Mixed
For Domestic Use.
Whenever possible the Seine is util.
lied for the transportation of fuel to
Paris. Nearly all the great wholesale
firms have their yards in the neighbor-
hood of the river. The railroads also
bring great deal of wood and coal to
the city. As the trains move slowly
through the yards of some of the lines
Of railroad the passengers can see in
closures filled with cord wood, store
houses of sacks of fuel; also cars loaded
with these sacks, which all seem to be
of the same size. The opening of tho
sacks is secured by lacings of cord, and
the cords fastened by leads. Here also
may be seen, stored on cars, large un-
perforated briquettes for use in engines
and manufactures. Along the embank.
ment Of the Seine may be seen hundreds
of cords of wood piled in such regular
order that one could well believe that
the spacings were measured off with a
rule.
The coal is from English, French and
Belgium mines. Sometimes the three
kinds are mixed for use in the kitchen
ranges.
The shops for the sale Of fuel by retail
are almost as numerous as the bakeries.
They are always neat, and the wood,
coal and kindlings are arranged in a
most artistic manner. The wood is piled
SO as to show the evenly sawed ends.
The samples of coal are arranged in
glass dishes, and in some of the shops,
where orders are taken for the whole
sale places, wood is arranged in the
windows and decorated with growing
moss and ferns. Indeed the chief aim of
the French shopkeeper is to make his
shop attractive. Ladies' Home Jour.

CHINESE FlSHMoNGERS.
Their Wares So Tame That They LIAe to
he Handled.

In Canton the fishmonger's is most
important trade. The Chinaman Is q
born fisherman. He also has for ages
ast cultivated system of artificial
breeding and rearing of live fish for the
market. In the shops were displayed
live and dead fish, fish fresh and salted,
smoked and preserved. One variety was
like whitebait, in baskets, graded from
tiny things not half an inch long to
what appeared to be the same fish grown
3 or 0 inches in length. These were sold
fresh saltcd and smoked. Shark fins are
a deicacy. There were fish mottled and
barred, bright and dull, fish of quaint
and to us unknown shapes, but fore
most, above all, and everywhere to be
teen, were the artificially grown live
fish.
A wonderful creature was this, al
ways appearing to suffer from heat,
gasping at the surface of the water for
breath and recalling verdant Green 8
fish that were beginning to sweat and
complain. They were as tame as domes-
tic animals. seemingly careless of being
knocked about, thrown from ponds into
boats, from boats into tubs, from tubs
into buckets and then back into tubs
again. They were used to being handled
and inspected, and if disapproved put
back into the water to be sold, alive If
bought whole, or cut to pieces while
fliving and sold in bleeding chunks. A
thick, short fish is this, of~the mullet
shape, averaging about 10 inches in
length and weighing about pounds,
but sometimes longer, and running up
in weight to as much as or even 8
pounds.
When cut up, they bleed like pigs,
and to show how freshly they are killed
the salesman is in the habit of slicing a
live one into pieces, and with the blood
smearing all the pieces for sale, so that
they look reeking and horrible to Eu-
ropean eyes To keep them alive in the
shops they are always placed in large
tub with smaller vessel fixed above it,
From the bottom of the upper vessel a
bamboo, with one or two saw cuts in it.,
sticks out, and from those cuts streams
of water flow in thin cascades into the
tub beneath. Every now and then, when
the upper vessel becomes empty, the fish
all rise to the surface, and glop, glop,
glopl take down both air and water
Then an attendant, attracted by the
noise, plunges bucket down among
them, and from the water in which they
swim fills the upper vessel full again. -

A spiders web is a curious and beautiful
thing The spinning organs are tiny tubes.
and the threads are white, sticky liquid,
which hardens at once as it is forced out
When the spider begins to make thread,
it presses the end of its tubes against some
object, to which the liquid sticks. Then it
moves away, and the thread is formed
just as you form rope when you pull
molasses candy. Different kinds of spiders
make different kinds of webs.

The famous Swiss watch schools are
said to be the most sXacting institu-
tions in the world. Their methods,
which are doubtless the secret oftheir
success, will be found very curious and
interesting. In one Of the most cele-
brated Of these institutions in Geneva,
for example, boy must first Of all be
at least IA years Of age in order 10
enter. After being admitted, the stu
dent is first introduced to a wood-turn-
ing lathe. and put to work at turning
tool handles. This exercise lasts for
several weeks, according 10 the begin
Eer's aptitude. This is followed by
exercises in filling and scraping screw
drivers and small tools.
In this way be learns 10 make for
himself a fairly complete set Of tools.
He next undertakes to make a large
wooden pattern Of watch frame per-
haps a foot in diameter, and after
learning how this frame is 10 be shaped
he is given ready-cut one Of brass
Of the ordinary size, in which he is
taught to drill holes for the wheels
and screws. Throughout this instruc-
tion the master stands over the pupil
directing him with the greatest care.
The pupil is next taught TO finish
the frame, 50 that il will be ready to
receive the wheels. He is then in
structed to make fine tools and to be-
come expert in handling them. This
completes the instruction in the first
room, and the young matchmaker next
passes to the department where be is
taught 10 it the stem-wipding parts
and to do fine cutting and filling by
hand. Later on be learns to make
the more complex watches which will
strike the hour, minute, etc.. and the
other delicate mechanisms.

A Dainty For Elephants.

A number Of years ago, In a book
which was called Leaves from the Life
of a Special Correspondent. Mr.. O'Shea,
the author Of the book, gave the fol-
lowing description of an adventure he
had with a herd of elephants Said
he: "a young friend asked me once
to show him some elephants, and |
took him along with me, having first
borrowed an apron and filled IT with
oranges. This he was to carry whilst
accompanying me in the stable, but
the moment we reached the door the
herd set up such trumpeting-they
had scented the fruit-that he dropped
the apron andits contents, and scuttled
off like scared rabbit. There were
eight elephants, and when lpicked up
the oranges | found ! had twenty-five.
| walked deliberately along the line,
giving one to each. When | got to
the extremity Of the narrow stable /
turned, and was about to begin the
distribution again, when / suddenly
reflected that if elephant No. Z in the
row saw me give two oranges in sue
cession to No. 8 he might imagine he
was being cheated, and give me a
smack with his trunk-that is where
the elephant falls short Of the human
being-so ! went TO the door and
began at the beginning as before.
Thrice ! went along the line, and then
I was in a fix. had one orange left,
and ! had to get back 10 the door.
Every elephant in the herd had his
greedy gaze focused on that orange.
1t was as much as my life was worth
to give it to any one Of them. What
was to DO? l held itup conspicu-
ously, cOolly peeled it, and ate it my
self. 1t was most amusing to notice
the way those elephants nudged each
other and shook their ponderous sides.
They thoroughly entered into the
humor Of the thing"

Sentiments Which EnnobIe Humanity.

Ofall the eulogies in literature there
is none more beautiful than the fol-
lowing upon Gen. Robert E. Lee from
that eloquent Georgian, Senator Ben
jamin H. Hill:
"He was a foe without hate friend
without treachery soldier without
cruelty, and victim without murmur-
ing. He was public officer without
vices, private citizen without wrong,
a neighbor without reproach, Chris
tian without hypocrisy and a man with
out guile. He was Cesar without his
ambition, Frederick without his tyr
rany, Napoleon without his selfshness'
and Washington without bis reward.
He was as obedient to authority as a
true king. He was as gentle as a
woman in life, pure and modest s a
virgin in thought, watchful as Roman
yestal, submissive to law as Socrates
and grand in battle as Achilles.

So in our hearts we'll cover them DER.
Roses and lilies and violets blue
Bloom in our souls for the brave and the
true.
Cover them over; yes, cover them over;
Parent and husband, brother and lover!
Think of those far away heroes of ours
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers
When the long years have rolled slowly
away,
Fen to the dawn of earth's funeral day,
When at the archangel's trumpet and
tread
Rise up the faces and forms of the dead,
When the great world its last judgment
awaits,
When the blue sky shall swing open the
gates,
And our long columns march silently
through
Past the Great Captain for final review,
Then from the blood that has flowed for
the right
Crowns shall spring upward, untarnish-
ed and bright;
Then the glad ears of each war-martyred
son
Proudly shall hear the good tidings,
well done"
Blessings for garlands shall cover them
over,
Parent and husband and brother and
lover.
God will reward those dead heroes of
ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers.

Origin Of Memorial Day.

1t is matter of history that Mrs.
Charles J. Williams, of Columbus, Ga,
instituted the beautiful custom of dec
Grating soldiers graves with flowers
custom which has been adopted
throughout the United States. Mrs.
Williams was the daughter of Maj.
John Howard, of Milledgeville, Ga,
and was a superior woman. She COM
bined the loveliest womanly traits of
character with that self-reliance and
determination generally attributed to
the sterner sex. She was literally ed
ucated in the best schools of Charles
ton, S. c., and Philadelphia, and was
accomplished IN music, painting and
languages. She married Maj. }. &.
Williams on his return from the Mex
lean war. He was a lawyer of high
standing and speaker Of the house of
representatives about the time war
broke out. While colonel of the First
Georgia regulars in the army Of Vir-
ginia he contracted disease from
which he died in 1862 and was buried
iu Columbus, Ga. Mrs. Williams and
her little daughter visited his grave
every day, and often comforted them
selves by wreathing it with flowers.
While the mother sat thinking of the
loved and lost ones, the little girl
would pluck the weeds from the un-
marked soldiers graves near her faith
er's, and cover them with flowers, call
ing them cher soldiers graves, and
say they had no one else to care for
them. After a short while the dear
little girl was summoned by the angels
to ioin her father. The sorely-be
reaved mother then took charge Of
these unknown graves for the child's
sake, and as she cared for them thought
of the patriots graves throughout the
south, far away from home and kim
dred, and in this way the plan was
suggested to her of setting apart one
day in each year that love might pay
tribute to valor throughout the south
ern states.
In March, 1866, she addressed a
communication to the daily paper at
Columbus suggesting our Memorial
Day" custom. She them wrote to the
Soldiers Aid societies, and they readi-
ly responded, and reorganized under
the lead of memorial associations.
She lived long enough to see her plan
adopted as a religious custom of the
south, and observed from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande.
Mrs. Williams died April Is, 1874,
and was buried with military honors.

Buell's army had made buoyant the
tagging spirits of the blues, and with
chaos and confusion at their every
turn, Gen. Grant gave orders to adj
vance upon the confederates at day
light upon the morning of the 7th'
Monday. The bloody scenes OF the
Sabbath were again enacted. On the
same bloody field another bloody bat
tie. On the second night of the bat
tie the confederates bivouacked on the
same ground it did before the fighting
began. Realizing the odds against
them by the reinforcement TO Grant,
a renewal of the struggle was deemed
unwise.
In this battle something over ten
thousand confederates were killed and
wounded, and fifteen thousand feder-
ais.
Consider now the equipage of the
opposing forces, and measure the Army
of the Tennessee by the fruits it bore,
and every man that composed 1t will
reach the dignity of hero.
Following the battle of Shiloh, the
army of the Tennessee moved into
Kentucky under Gen. Bragg, fanking
Gen. Buell. with his army out of Ten
nessee, and forcing the battle of Perry
VILE on the Sth of October; following
this was the great battle at Murfrees-
boro, fought January l, 1868, in which
twenty thousand federals were killed
on the field; the charge of Brecken-
ridge at Stone river will go into his
tory with Lodi and Wagram; the bat
tie of Cbickamauga, in which the con-
federates slept upon the field OF battle
against every odd, the battle of Look
out mountain, after new life had been
infused into the union routed forces
and correctly equipped relnforcements
were added; the battles of Dalton,
Atlanta, Jonesboro, Resaca, New Hope
and Kenesaw mountain-the history
of these struggles, the undaunting
courage of the foe, the proud, splendid
bravery of the leaders in blue, the
determination to die before retreat,
this, the plain and simple record that
places the army of the Tennessee IN
the front ranks of the armies, north
or south, in the great struggle OF the
sixties
In the campaign from Dalton to
Jonesboro, Ga, one hundred and SIX
teen DAYS, in which the roar OF cannon
and the crash of arms were never
hushed, the statistics show that every
confederate under Hood and Johnson,
combined, Oh an average, killed or
wounded a man and quarter IN the
force under Sherman.
What nobler record
