A Birthday Celebration in the Old
Southern Style.
A jolly stag party assembled at
Muth's garden on Government hill
last night at o'clock to assist Mr..
Chas. Muth to celebrate his 10th
birthday anniversary with a 'possum
and wine supper.
There were present Prof. William
Muth, Sr., Prof. William Muth
Jr., Geo. Muth, Chas. Muth, officers
Yost, Foster, Grimes and Lacey, Geo
Nickerson, John Pollen, Geo. Sheets,
Phil. Eggling, VIM. Miller, Walter
Johnson and Light representative.
A beautiful birthday bouquet, a la
Africaine, graced the centre of the ia
BILE, while two 'possums, embedded in
a royal bed of baked sweet potatoes
and holding an apple each in their
mouths held posts of honor at the
head and foot of the table. After the
guests were seated the young host pro-
ceeded to carve dat 'possum" and
serve each of the company. The de-
licious manner in which the meats
were cooked was praised by all and
each and every one picked the bones
clean and anxiously inquired if there
were more 'possums anywhere. Then
when the generous wine came on. the
remainder of the time up to o'clock
W. spent in making toasts and receiv-
ing responses, and Officer Foster told
how the 'possums were cooked in his
young days on the plantation, and how
this supper reminded him of the de-
lights of those times. officer Yost de-
clared no old black nanny or planta-
ton cook that had given such spien-
did 'possum, taters and corn pone sup
pers down in his fathers big farm De
fore the war had ever eoualled the
cooking of the 'possums they had just
enioyed and he offered poetical toast
TO Mr.. Muth and delivered an original
poem prepared extemporaneously
After the final wine-up music was
heard and the young host was given
a serenade by party of friends.
The affair was delightful in every
way and the earnest wish of all who
had partaken of the hospitality of the
evening was that Mr. Muth would i've
long and prosper and become the lead
ing citizen of the community. and fol-
low his father in qoint of popularity
and the high esteem of friends.

IL Was the Bull.

At village near Accrington there
is certain Wesleyan chapel where "A
bass viol has been introduced to assist
the choir On recent Sunday, while
the parson was in the middle of the
sermon, big bull got out of his pas
ture and came swaggoring down the
road, growing as he came. The min
lister heard the low below, and look
ing up toward the singers seats with
grave face, said:
81 would thank the musicians not
to tune during service time; it annoys
me-"
The choir was surprised, but moth
ing was said. Pretty soon the bull
gave another grumble, and then the
parson became frantic. He stopped
short, and looking directly at the bass
viol player, said:
81 now particularly request Mr.. L.
that he will not tune his instrument
while l am preaching"
This was more than the fiddler could
stand. Popping up in his seat, he
snapped out:
''lt isn't me, parson-it isn't me |
It's the old town bull. "-Loudon Tele

SHE DANCES AND LApoRs.

There is a type of Mexican woman
more Indian than Spaniard, and this
mixture produces always a rather
stdnted, though interesting, result.
These men and women nre both short,
thick set, with heavy features, black,
beady eyes and high cheek bones, but
their physique does not make them
like the corresponding type of cob
horse Englishmen. The woman is live
and a wonderful bearer of burdens,
for she has the thews and sinews of a
Sandow. Like that little Mexican
mule which can carry burden weigh
ing three times as much as itself for q
day with patience, she has the endur-
ing power which enables her to take
upon herself the arduous agricultural
laboIs of q man. She dances, too, and
very we'll, and her silk and cotton
garments of rainbow hue are embroid-
cred in gold patterns. The tiniest feet
and ankles are hers and slim little
hands, with tapering, artistic fingers,
that tell one she is dainty in feminine
arts as well as sturdy worker, New

CANCEL OF THE ToNBs."

1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Ernestine Schaffer, the CANCEL of
the Tombs,' New York City, is a
wealthy woman living in a fine house
near Central Park. She is the owner
of a great deal of property and on
Sundays and holidays may be seen
driving team of beautiful ponies in
front of one of the finest little road
carts in town. Mrs. Schaf'ner's time,
however, instead of being spent in
idleness or in seeking recreation, is
devoted to cause to which she has
resolved to give the rest of her life.
This is nothing moro or less than the
work of helping people unjustly ac-
cused of crime and as sisting others
who have been guilty of wrong doing,
and whose sentences have expired.
Scarce q day passes without the
''Tombs angel extending a helping
hand to some unfortunate victim of
over-zealous guardianship. She has
two offices down town and engages a
lawyer by the month to assist her. Or
several occasions she has loaned out
more than $4,000 for bail, and she
declares that her losses are less than

One womnn,s Trio Of TrInIeis.

In On almost inaccessible mountain
fastness, in Mendocino County, eight.
cen miles northeast of Ukiah. is the
home OF nine children, all triplets.
The mother OF this remarkable family
is Mrs. George Walters. All the
family are well and happy, and the
last trio are as healthy set OF young.
sters as can be found anywhere.
The Walters home is in an out-of-
the-way part OF the Mendocino forest
district Two OF the sets of triplets
were by Mrs. Walters's first husband,
Orville Orrin Oates, Missourian.
Three years elapsed between the birth
of the first and second triplets, and
twelve years between the birth of the
second and third sets.
Mrs. Walters's maiden name was
Ellen Elaine Emmery. She was born
in Quebec about 1855. She met her
first husband during the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia. After
their marriage they moved to Alton,
Mo. II was at Alton in 1879 the first
triplets were born. They we're named
Wheeler Henry, James Rutherford and
Martha Christine, being two boys and
one girl. The family moved TO Cali
fornia in the fall of 1880, and settled
ut first in 1nyo County. From there
they moved to the Little Bear Valley,
San Bernardino County. There, in
October, 1882, the second triplets
were born. They were all girls, and
were named Matilda Ann, Rebecca
Elizabeth and Marie Louise. While
out on o prospecting tour, seeking a
fortune for his fast.growing family,
Mr.. Oates became lost in the vast
deserts of Western Arizona, and was
never again heard from.
The widow then determined TO move
to the upper part of the State with her
six children. They travelled north by
easy stages, and on the way she met
Mr.. Walters. He helped her and her
children along the way, proposed mar.
riage, and was promptly accepted.
They kept on their way north, seek
ing for some far-away valley where
they could set up their home. They
found it in the location already de-
scribed. There, in June, 1894, the
last triplets were born. They were
named Grover Eldred, Jasper Otis and
Ruth Ellen.
The children of the first two sets of
triplets do not resemble one another
at all, but the last, the babies, look SO
much alike, that they cannot be told
apart. The only way to distinguish
them is TO dress them differently, and
when put to bed they wear different
kinds of night dresses, so that the
mother in the morning can tell which
is which. San Francisco Examiner.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Variety is the best culinary spice.
A good cleanser for paint is weak
lye or saleratus water.
Always buy rye in small quantities
and keep it well covered.
Butter should be kept in stone if
possible and never in tin.
Lard and drippings should be kept
in earthern ware and should not be
salted.
Sugar is just as cheap in small
quantities as in large, and it is better
to keep only little on hand at
time.
Provide on Saturday for Monday,
so as not to take up the fire with cook.
ing or time in running errands on
washing day.
Arrowroot, tapioca, sago and all
such articles should be bought IN
small quantities and kept in glass jars
or covered boxes.
Battle your eyes frequently in weak
alum water If they are weakened by
close work, such as painting, embroid-
cry or reading.
Buckwheat, rice and hominy should
be kept in small tightly covered boxes
or in tin cans, and should be ex-
amined often as vermin is apt to infest
them.
Cook a peeled white onion in the
same pot with your mushrooms, and
if they do not turn black you may eat
them with feeling of tolerable Sc.
curity.
Never put away clean clothes with
out examining every piece to see if it
is in any way out of order. Stock
ings, especially should be carefully
darned.
Vinegar is best purchased by the
half barrel or the keg, Ond should be
made of wine or cider. 1t should
never be put in glazed ware, as the
glazing is eaten off and forms with it
a poisonous compound.
