Three country Ftdarkies'' came to the
city the other day and stopped in at q
restaurant on Seventh street, near Gray
son, to get something to eat. The pro-
prietor of the. place was in a waggish
mood, and he decided to have some fun
at the expense of the country visitors.
A large ice chest stood at one end of
the counter. 1t had glass doors, through
which beefsteak, vegetables and fruit
could be plainly seen. At the bottom of
the chest was about an inch of water.
which came from the melting of the ice
above. A rubber hose was in front of
che chest to lead off the water when it
reached a certain height But behind
the chest was another pipe, connected
with a hydrant, to be used to wash out
the chest when needed. The proprietor
of the restaurant told the cOlOred men
he would give them So if they would
drink all the water that remained in the
bottom of the chest. They jumped at
the proposition when they had exam
ined the chest and saw that there was
only about gallon of water there. The
smallest of the three went for the water
first. He lay down on the floor and put
the end of the hose in his mouth and
drank and drank until his eyes bulged
and he looked weak. When he could
drink no longer, he arose and looked in
to the chest. 1t did not appear that the
water had receded from the sides a par
ticle. He concluded that he had not
drunk as much as he thought he had,
and he tried it again. Each of the three
colored men tried this experiment three
times, and it did not seem that any Of
the water had gone out of the chest; in
fact, as one Of the colored gentlemen
exclaimed:
ode watah am certainly risin. -
This was true The proprietor s wait
er had turned on the hydrant faucet
lightly when the men began drinking.

gemblance to those turned out by good
dressmakers as does a cheap shirt waist
to one made by a tailor, not so much
even, for there is more difference in the
cut.
The bathing suits worn at the differ
ent fashionable bathing places give scope
for wide diversity of taste. The out
line, the general style, may be the same,
but individual fancy is displayed, and
absolutely different effects are gained
with the same material. The best look
ing waists are made with a PORTED yoke
back and front, from which to the waist
are laid side plaits The plaits vary in
size according to the figure. There is
difference of opinion as to whether the
collar made on high band a turn
over is more becoming tina the bro
sailor collar and vest front, Ike the sal
or suits, but certainly the trim, nea
look Of the former when finished with
neat tie of black silk is very fetching.
A safe way to make suit is to have
the waist firmly attached to the knick-
erbockers, fastened at the sides and
reaching just above the knee. If it
preferred to have them below the knee,
they must be short enough not to show
below the skirt. Elastic bands run
through the hem will keep them i'll place
and at the same time be an additional
support to the stockings. The skirt
should be long enough to come below
the knee and should be carefully hung.
When laid in plaits, it looks particularly
well, and the best fni / is deep hem.
Trimmings of braid are not satisfactory,
and if it is desired to have some color
about the dress it must be supplied
by the collar, necktie Or head covering
and not by the trimming.
What stockings are to be worn is a
serious matter, for Of course the feet
and legs show so prominently. A size
smaller than is generally worn is best,
for the feet cannot then spread. The
openwork and ribbed stockings are very
attractive. Too thin a stocking is not
desirable, for it will soon give way
When expense is no object, heavy silk
are the best
Very few women are there in this
world who are fortunate enough to have
hair that does not become hideOus when
wet with salt water. For the fortunate
one, she can go i'll without tying up her
head in q silk cap and handkerchief,
and every dip into the waves will but
make her curls look better. But for
women generally oiIskin caps, over
which is tied a bright square Of silk,
are necessary. Fortunately this head
gear is very fetching and rarely unbe-
coming, says a writer in the New York
Herald, authority for the foregoing.

and was formally done. after which Judge

him as County Clerk. ordered him to
bring the jury-box into court the next
day and draw iherefrUm a venire of jurors
