the story was written.
Lewis George Clark, the prototype
OF George Harris" the most promi-
nent figure in the novel, was owned
by Gen. Thomas Kennedy, Garrard
county's first representative in the gen
eral assembly OF Kentucky. He first
belonged to John Banton, who was
party to the famous Banton counter
feiting plot
Banton's detection led TO the sale OF
young Clark TO Gen. Kennedy, then the
wealthiest man in the Blaze Grass sec
ton OF Kentucky, and a large dealer
in race horses and slaves. When Gen.
Kennedy died he bequeathed 100 slaves
TO his son, Thomas Kennedy, Jr. Among
them was Clark. A house boy, Nor
man Kennedy, was given to Robert
Argo, and he still lives to tell OF
George Harris" 'Uncle Tom," and
other characters in Uncle Tom S
Cabin"
A correspondent visited the old Ken
lucky homestead, yet a comfortable
residence, and found old Norman work

which he IS never left, though freed
more than score and half of Year,
ago.,
Norman is a midget. He is 80 years
old, only feet and inches tall, and
weighs less than sixty pounds.
When Gen. Kennedy had stable Of
running horses Norman was brought
to ride for him, but his legs were so
short he couldn't stay in the saddle,
and fell off in more than one race.
The old man remembers Clark well,
for he had slept and worked with him.
When young, Clark was weaver,
Hnitter and sewer, and cooked well.
Because of these accomplishments he
was not sent to work in the field dur
ing Gen. Kennedy's life, and Norman
Kennedy, being house boy, got init
mately acquainted with the hero of
Uncle Toms Cabin
Young Tom Kennedy did not long
survive his father, and Clark was again
about to be put up at auction with the
other negroes when he determined to
gain his liberty, whatever the cost, in
forming Norman that he could soon
bleach himself from the mulatto that
he was to a fairly white man. He be-
gan to wear gloves and big hat to
work in order to avoid sunburn, and
in few months he escaped by steal
ing a mule. He went north.

bathing costumes, many OF them Dl-
zarre beyond words, and others dainty
enough for the wearing of any belle.
The fashion OF dawdling on the beach
in bathing clothes, of lolling on the
sands for hours, with no idea of enter
ing the water. reminds one of gay Trou-
willie or Dieppe, where the bath dress Is
only an excuse for an exhibition of the
form and not at all for use.
The girl who prepares herself for n
genuine tussle with the waves is quite
a different creature from this fluttering
butterfly, who poses for admiration.

no fly-away toggery and not useless

Color. sham and Trimming.

Fashion is now making for herself a
middle course between the two ex-
tremes of tightness and bouffancy.
Sleeves and skirts are decidedly mod
Grating in size, but have not yet be-
come mere close cases for the limbs.
There 10 much room for the exercise
OF individual taste in color, shape and
trimming. We are not commanded to
wear all brilliant or all dull colors I'M
der the penalty of being out of date.
Everything considered. this is a very
satisfactory season as far as the ward
robe is concerned.

Capes continue to be worn In spite of
rumors that they are to be discarded.
Their disappearance has been foretold
many times, but they are as fashion
able to-day as ever and show no symp-
toms of declining from favor. They are
more and more trimmed-ruches of
gauze, plaitings. light ornamentations
OF all kinds, bows, beaded embroidery
and applications of guipure. Capes of
silk as well as other cloth are embroid-
cred in openwork over a contrasting
lining or lining Of the same color,
but different material. There Is quite
a fancy for combining different goods
of the same shade, a new cape model
being composed of mastic cloth en-
broidered in openwork over a silk lin
ing OF mastic, the trimming being ruch-
es of mastic gauZe.

she is the daughter of John Lothrop
Motley, the famous historian and au-
thor of the Standard History of the
Dutch Republic. Lady Harcourt was
Elizabeth Motley, and was Mrs. ]. p.
Ives when she married the English
statesman in 1876. Sir William was
married first, in 1859, to Lady Theresa
Lewis, the widow of Sir George Corne-
wall Lewis, Bart. He met his present
wife during the time her father was
the American minister to London.
Lady Harcourt takes a keen interest
in English politics and follows the
campaigns with no little concern. She
is something of student Of English
methods of legislation, and her figure
is a familiar one in the ladies' gallery
of the house of commons.

Although sent out under a mask OF
benevolence, this bill is aimed directly
az the vivisectionists of the Scientihc
Bureau OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. This bureau. some years ago
began its Investigations OF the diseases
of swine. Their researches have SO FAR
been so successful that they are able
to control almost all of the maladies
that afflict these animals, and hope In
time entirely to stamp out many OF
the most serious diseases. The hui
name parties to whose charge is COM
mitted the work of urging this bill 10
It's passage claim that experiments con-
Quoted for the purpose OF research are
cruel and unnecessary, and should be
stopped at all hazards. They seem to
lose sight of the fact that there are
various operations to which animals
are subjected that may be quite as
painful and cruel as those to which
they strenuously object; but these are
customary and time-honored, and
therefore are not interfered with. They
do not object to killing animals for
food, but their batteries are leveled
directly at those operations that are
conducted purely in the interest of sci
entific research. The branding Of ami
mails is certainly painful process. but
this and other things equally so are
not taken account of by these ono
sided humanitarians. Nature recog-
nizes the sacrifice of the few for the
good of the many. and one might with
excellent reason ask; What is man
that he should protest against law
which is older than his memory or his
knowledge?

The finest wire in the country Is
made at Taunton, Mass. This metal
cobweb of minute diameter is exactly
the 1-5OOth part of an inch in thick

Ordinary wire, even though OF small
diameter. is drawn through holes IN
steel plates, but on account Of the wear
such plates cannot be used in making
the hair wire. The Taunton factory
mentioned uses drilled diamonds for
that purpose.

necessary to iron them every day be-
