the South, the result will astonish
our friends, and viii be IN itself a
monument to the devotion and the
power of Southern womanhood.
In order to give unity and ystem
to our efforts, it is necessary to per-
feet some plan of organization.
Whatever is done must be begun at
once. The following is the plan pro-
posed and urged:
/. In every state and territory in
which there is an organization of the
Daughters of the Confed deracy let the
State President and the presidents
of the local chapters 90 to work at
once. See that an organization is put
to work in every county and town in
the State. Correspond direct with
suitable ladies in each locality. No
tify Col. R. c. Wood. A Perdido ST.,
New Orleans, La, and notify this
office.
2. In every State in which there is
no organization OF the Daughters of
the Confederacy let every true South-
ern women go TO work ut once to es-
tabllsh an organ. Correspond at all
points in the State. Furnish this
office and COL r. c. Wood with lists
and names and information. CO.
operate with the camps or bivonacs
of the United Confederate Veterans.
3. Let any true Southern woman
who may be unconnected with any or
ganiz alton not hesitate on that ac-
count but 60 to work at once to pro-
mote this sacred cause by such means
as may be within her reach.
The following general plan of
work is suggested.
To Sc cure subscriptions; this is
Che first and immediate work. Secure
all you can Independently or in CO.
operation with the agent of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans.
2. Memorial Festival Day, May 1 !,
1896, has been set apart for Memo
rial Day, and is placed entirely in
control of the women of the South.
Work to make this great day, loug
to be remembered in every s'city,
town, hamlet and neighborhood of
the South" In many places two or
three days may be devoted to out
door exercises at the fair grounds,
or at some enclosed park. Tourna-
ments, atletic sports, sham battles,
May Day exercises, tables for the
said of mementoes, lunch stands,
etc, will yield pleasure to the peo-
pie and handsome profits from gate
fees. From time to time lectures,
concerts and other entertainments
will aid in the general receipts.
If the women of the South in every
locality will enter promptly, jealous
ly continuously upon this work, its
success will be assured, the Battle
Abbey will be erected, the noble
confidence which the Confederate
veterans repose in the women of the
South will be justified and we shall
have the satisfaction of feeling that
we have discharged a sacred duty.
Mrs. JOHN G. BRowN,
President United Daughters of the
ConfederacY.

ABOUT MADAGASCAR.

There is plenty of opportunity for
exploration and scientific discovery in
Madagascar, which is the third largest
island in the world, and nearly four
times the size of England aud Wales,
having an area of 100000 square miles.
The true lemurs arc found in NADIA
gascar, and nowhere else in the world
They are regarded by naturalists as
the link between the monkey and the
lower mammals. The biggest are about
three feet long. The most remarkable
species is called the specter, because II
is white and appears only at night.
Madagascar was never seen by Euro
pcans until within the last 400 years,
although 1t was known TO Arab traders
at least 1000 years ago. Al times they
presumably saw there some eggs Of n
gigantic fowl. the aepyornis. and
brought back accounts which were em.
balmed in the fables OF the roc.
Crocodiles swarm in every river and
lake of Madagascar, and as they are
man-eaters the natives have super,
Stitious fear of them, though they use
she eggs for eating purposes. The giant

LATE MILLINERY.

Blue must be reckoned as u fashion
able color for millinery, but only in it's
dark shades-principally French blue
and sapphire.
Several shades OF red promise almost
as well. They are all tints of vivid
dye, whether of the peony, ripe goose
berry or poppy varieties. Bright deep
pink and cerise are also in demand.
In spite of this marked preference for
gay colors the trade is well provided
with black velvet; still, IL is likely to be
used less than might have been expect
ed for covering shapes. Black felts are
not much asked for by the best houses.
As matters now stand in the millinery
world greens and violets hold the first
place. These are the colors that are
produced in the greatest variety Of
shades; moss, blue greens, metallic
greens, reseda and water greens are
all equally the fashion. The violets
run from eveque to blush mauves, and
from aubergine TO reddish violets and
lilacs.-Dry Goods Economist.

Had the master of the house on the
knoll been other than he was, this
latest precaution might have served ia
excite suspicion that his mind was
beginning to give way under the de-
pressing influences of his manner of
existence. Afterward, it is true, sus-
picions of the sort came to me, though
they were never long-lived, but at that
time, while wonder was aroused, the
feeling carried with it no suggestion
that he was not actuated by some suf-
ficient reason for the step he had taken.
Sc far as ! knew, his safety was not
threatened; but i had to confess N.Y.
self in ignorance of the character of the
peril he dreaded. and to note his ar
rangements, without appreciating the
need of them, much as a raw recruit
might watch the many and seemingly
excessive precautions of veteran in
charge of a magazine.
About a fortnight after the adven-

Guthrie Leader: A sensation pre-

the uncaled for words and deeds of a
travelling evangelist named Rev. Lang.
Tuesday night Lang accompanied by
his wife, arrived in Seward to assist in
revival meeting in progress there.
Rev. Lang was called on to deliver u
sermon During his remarks he
said: ANY woman that would dance
has no virtue" Now the people of
Seward and vicinity like those of the
rest of the world, are pleasure loving,
and after days hard work the honest
folks assemble at some farm house and
worship at the shrine of Terpsichore.
Hence, they were enraged over Lang's
cold-blooded remarks. He was invited
to leave town. Thursday morning
Lang and wife rushed TO the depot to
take the north bound Santa Fe tram.
They were followed by n crowd of
farmers and their wives who hurled
