About Mrs. stowe.

1t is not many months since Mrs.
Stowe put her autograph upon each of
the300 copies of the large per edition
/ of Uncle Tom which Houghton *
Miffir have in preparation. 1t was
very much desired that she should
sign them. so one day Mr.. \. Smith
asked Miss Stowe if it would not be
possible to get her mothers signature
for these books. The daughter under
took TO arrange it. and succeeded very
readily Mrs. Stowe signed about
twenty-five of the books every day un-
til all were done. and seemed to come
out of ner distractions and enjoy the
task
In the latest edition OF the Lie Of
Mrs. Stove. by her son. Rev. Charles
Edward Stove the book which has
the force Of an autobiography. so
much of it was dictated by herself
is given the letter which tells of the
severe wound received by her son.

''Th@ wound in Capt. Stoves head
was not fatal, and after weary months

touched the brain of the young officer,
and never again was he what he had
been. Soon after the war his mother
bought Il plantation in Florida. large

connected with its management might
be beneficial to her afflicted son. He
remained on it for several years. and
then being possessed with the idea
that 4 long sea voyage would do him
more good than anything else. sailed
from New York to San Francisco

Thin Bread and Butter.

Many physicians. according to Il
lecturer on dietetics. are ordering thin
bread and butter for delicate patients.
especially those suffering from dys-
pepsia. consumption and anacmia. or
any who need to take on flesh. This
thin bread and butter insensibly in
dUces persons to eat much more butter
than they have any idea of. 1t is en-
traOrdinary. says the lecturer. how
snort a way Il pat of fresh butter 90 if
spread on a number of thin slices of
bread. This is one advantage, and Il
great one. in the feeding of inyalids.
for they are hereby provided with an
excellent form of the fat which is so
essential for their nutrition in way
that lures them 20 take it without re-
bellion. But the thin bread and but
ter has another advantage equally a.
gI'eat-it is very digestible and easily
aesimilated. Fresh butter made from
cream : very much more dtgestible
when spread upon thin slices of bread
than the same amount of cream eaten

1t seems to be fact that the bicycle
is ousting the dog from its oldtime
| place as an Outin" companion with
men. Whether large or small Il dog
may. with the best intentions in the
worI,.. become Il danger to his owner
by running against the wheel. or by
causing an accident in some similar
way. In tho country one sometimes
notices 4 dog running witha bicyclist.
but on the city thOrOughfares they
are generally tabooed. Besides the
trouble they might cause, few dogs can
live with a bicycle for a ten-mile run.
ana they would be utterly done for Il
longer Journey.
The men who once took pride and
pleasure in their dogs lis companions
on pedestrian jaunts are now wheel
in@. and their CANNES have vanished.
SO it seems that dogs are suffering
from the rivalry of the machines as
we'll Is the horses. An exception to
be noted here. is that of Il Harlem man
who races whippets ana trains the llect
and 1.-the dogs by giving them syste-
matte runs after. his wheel over the
Westchester roads. But. as rule.
dogs and bicycles go better apart.

HARRODSBURG, KY, Dec. GA mob
OF between forty and sixty men, armed
with shoiguns and axes. rode through
Mercer last night and chopped down six
toll-gates. The gatekeepers were warned
not to repair the gates or collect any more
toll under penalty of being burned out.
The mob passed through this city at
o'clock this morning en- route from Macks-
vile for Harrodsburg. and they destroyed
every gate in the line OF march. At Salt
River, one mile from here, Dave Barnett,
gatekeeper. was made 10 chop down his
own gale, and was told to notify the turn
pike directors that if the gate was repaired
and money collected the raiders would not
only burn the dollhouse, but the private
property of tine board of directors. These
gentlemen have ordered the gates repaired
and toll will be collected by an armed
force if necessary. tt same warning was
given at some OF the other gates.
Over three hundred toli-gates have been
burned or chopped down since the turn
pike war began in Washington County
three months ago, and as yet only five
arrests have been made. No convictions
from these. The gates destroyed
1900 miles of turnpike, val
ued at 81, 600, 900 and the State and county
have furnished no protection
whatever.

late bill SO that 1t will be all ready to
submit to the House when the Fifty-ifth
Congrass meets in extraordinary session,
about the middle of March The Ways
and Means Committee will be constituted
in the Fifty fifth Congress practically as it
is now. The members are familiar with
the tariff schedules, and 1t is believed that
they could have the tariff bill framed by
the time that the extra session meets.
The Republicans. it will be remembered,
sharply criticized the Democrats for not
allowing fuller hearings TO manufacturers
when the Wilson bill was being framed,
so that it is believed that the Republican
Ways and Means Committee will now
accord lengthy and exhaustive hearings to
the manufacturers and others interested.
notwithstanding this it is the Judgment
Of Mr.. Dingley that the pill will be ready
in time and that there will be little delay
in acting upon it in the House, but the
Senate, a more deiiberative body, will
take its tine, and 1t is expected that the
extra session will be protracted one, and
may last until the fall of next year.
Statements made by Mr.. Dinglev since his
talk with Major Mckinley indicate that
the bill will be moderate one, at the
same time being "ampy protective"

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Dec. 6.-The
movement of the business interests of the
country toward National currency reform
npon wholly non-partisan lines, which
has resulted in call by the commercial
organizations of the Central West for a
convention in this city in January, prom
ises to become one of the notable things in
the history of the country. 1t is doubtful
whether any of the delegates to the con-
ference last week have any idea of the
breadth of the pan Hugh II. Hanna.
chairman of the executive committee, has
in mind for accomplishing this reform.
During the conference there developed
sharp line of difference between those
favoring the adoption of currency plan
by the convention, which is to meet on
January u, and those who believe that
the convention should simply discuss the
various plans presented and refer the
whole matter to a commission. This diff
