~ Is to Always Look Pleasant and DO No
Grumbling.
"What is the first duty of a good
traveler" asked a young lady who was
about to start from New York ON an ex-
tended European tour.
''To look pleasant and never to grum-
BILE, " was the answer of veteran wan
derer who had crossed the ocean 20
times and gone twice around the world.
It was good prescription and will
help to make a good traveller of any
novice. The fatigue of the longest jour
ney can be patiently endured if one can
only be amiable and avoid the weari-
ness that comes from fretting over what
is unavoidable and worrying over trifles.
An American girl not long ago spoil
ed the pleasure Of party of tourists by
complaining of everything on sea and
on land. The ship was dreadful roller,
the cabins were badly ventilated, the
cooking was abominable, the service was
shocking, the officers were uncivil, and
the passengers were disagreeable and
stupid Nothing suited her, and she
had not a good word for anybody.
Every member of the party was indig-
nant over her want Of amiability.

ladies.
''Perhaps she will cheer up, was the
charitable response, "when she reaches

But she was as unhappy ON land as
she had been at sea. She was angry
with the customs officers and told them
that they had mauled and ruined her

Weighed bitterly against the weather
and the climate. She was not interested
in oathedrals, castles, palaces, pictures,
colleges, ruins or country roads. She
was bored by everything she saw.
One night she received round robin
signed by every other member Of the
party, expressing regret that she was
not enjoying her journey and Offering
their sympathies in her vexations and
discomforts. 1t was bold stroke ON the
part of her friends, who were worn out
by her tiresome peevishness. Fortunate
ly it was not unsuccessful. Not another
word of complaint was heard from her
during the remainder of the tour.

HERALpRY.
One View Of the Shorthand Of History
and Chronology.


One View Of the Shorthand Of History
and Chronology.
Heraldry can make the world a glori-
fed world. 1t is a quarry where every
one may hew and a sea where every one
may dip his oar, and if heraldry be-
came again a fine art she could be once
more the bride of history, while art
with her tumult Of enthusiasm alone
can deck her fittingly. Without art
heraldry is an uncouth and dead thing;
with art she liveth for every one and is
truly a snience.
Heraldry creates intelligent curiosity
and stimulates historic imagination.
She awakens interest in generations
gone by and should be taught says Mr..
Ruskin, to the young men and maidens
of the street and lane, for heraldry
helps to deoipher the forgotten hand
writing ON the wall and the glorious
record Of our ancestors doings and
strivings and progress and upward
climbing in the long crusade against
tyranny and slavery and ignorance and
intolerance.
That heraldry is the shorthand Of his
tory and chronology seems to be now
allowed, and heraldry, in a sense,
should be the application Of the fine
arts of sculpture and painting to family
history. It is the silent language which
Christendom adopted and developed at
the time Of the crusades. In silence and
in hope she spake, through the eyes, to
the heart Of Ohristendom, Of the noble
deeds Of her children, and she is alto
gether indispensable if the heraldrio al
lusions in Dante, Chaucer, Spenser,
Shakespeare, Scott, etc., are not to be
entirely lost.
Heraldry has received the sanction Of
centuries, and herald Of the true strain
is neither finioking, fretful nor faulty,
but full Of goodly joy and at times even
Of pious mirth. And if some peep and
mutter at abuses. forgetting that the
abuse of anything is no argument
against its proper use. others see and
learn that heraldry has educational
value, is to many a race a wayside sao-
rament and blazes broad its potent in
fiuence--namely, that nothing must be
done to tarnish the family escutoheon.
In England also, in the absence Of
hereditary rank, coat armor is the only
distinctive mark Of birth and high
blood for the untitled nobility.

A BONAPARTE WEDS.
DESCENDANT OF NAPOLEON UNITED
TO A DANISH NoBLEMAN.

The Bride Is the Daughter Of the widow
OF the Late Colonel jerome Bonnpnrte.
The Groom Is Count Adam de HIoitke
HuitfeIdt.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s9.--The wedding Of
Count Adam de Moltke- Huitfeldt Of Den
mark and Miss Louise Eugenie Bonaparto,
daughter Of the widow Of the late Colonel
Jerome Bunaparte, took place today in st.
Paul's Roman Catholic church.
1t was one Of the most interesting inter
national marriages which have taken place
In Washington for many years, and much
regret was felt that owing to the recent
death of the father Of the groom while
Danish ambassador at Paris, the plans for
an imposing ceremony had to be aban-
doned. As it was the invitations TO the
church numbered scarcely 100 and the
party which sat down to the wedding
breakfast following the ceremony at the
home Of Mrs. Bonaparte on X street, was
restricted to members Of the family.
The church was handsomely decorated
with flowers and plants suggestive of the
Christmas season, holly and mistletoe be
ing used In abundance, but with fine ef-
feet. The national colors Of the United
States and Denmark were blended In the
wall panels. The ushers were Messrs.

THE PROPER WAY TO FRY
FOOD.
MARY B. KEECH.

Have a wire frying basket that
will fit nicely in a flat-bottomed iron
kettle. Fill the kettle three-fourths
full of lard and set on back of the
stove so that it may become gradu
ally heated. If you must set the
kettle directly over the Goals so it
viii heat quickly, watch it closely
or it may boil over and take fire.
When the fat smokes in the center
or if a piece of bread dropped into it
will instantly burn, it is just the
right temperature to scar the out
side of the food, thus preventing the
grease from penetrating, and rem
dering the food light and digestible.
First, dip the frying basket in the
hot fat, before putting the article to
be fried into it. In frying chops,
doughnuts, potato chips and all food
that requires long cooking, after a
few minutes, draw the kettle back
on the stove, where it win not boil
so rapidly. Doughnuts, croqnettes,
ETC.. should not touch each other
The fat should be kept smoking hot,
and enough to completely cover the
article cooked in it.
Croquettes should be rolled in
gand fine bread or cracker crumbs.

The winters woolens are handsome

drews, Charles McCawley and Robert Wal
lach, all of this city. The bridegroom was
attended at the altar by his brother, the
Count Leon de Moltke Huitfeldt
The bride was escorted to the altar and
given in marriage by her uncle, Mr..
Charles Bonaparte Of Baltimore.
His eminence Cardinal Gibbons, arch
bishop Of Baltimore, an old friend Of the
Bonaparte family, performed the cere-
mony, and Father Foley, priest of the par
ish Of St Paul's, was celebrant of the
nuptial mass which succeeded the mar
riage ceremony During the singing of
the mass Count Adam de Moltke- HUT
feldt and his bride occupied seats within
the sanctuary.
The bride was attired in an exquisite
gown OF white satin, the trimming OF
which was priceless old family lace. Her
veil was clasped to the hair by diamond
crescent, the gift of ex-Empress Eugenie,
the brides godmother.
Handsome wedding Gifts.
The gifts showered upon the bride were
exhibited to the breakfast party at the
home of Mrs. Bonaparte. They comprised
one Of the most elaborate and superb col
lections ever bestowed upon bride and
included remembrances from almost every
family in the diplomatic corps and many
in official life.
Count de Moltke-H Huitfeldt and bride
will proceed to st. Petersburg, which will
be their homo for a time at least. The
count held a diplomatic position in Paris

enough to make them a very pale

cles that have already been cooked,
it is only necessary to heat them
through nicely.
The fat should be clarified after
each using. While it is hot, drop in
thick slice of raw potato and

sediments in the bottom of the fat
it should be strained. When cold,

for plaintiff in error, and by Alfred =.
Barnard for defendant in error, and sub
mitted
This is an action Of ejectment brought
by the defendant in error to recover
certain lands described in the complaint.
There were two cases against different
defendants, of whom the plaintiff in
error was one. The cases were consoli-
dated. and tried before Judge Simonton
and a jury at the June special term Of
Circuit Court, Western District Of
North Carolina, at Asheville.
The controversy was as TO the title to
the tract Of land described I'm the grant
OF the State of North Carolina 10 VIII
liam Cathcart. dated July 20, 1896, de-
scribing g 600 acres. but containing an
exception therein Of 1900 acres.
The defendant In error claimed that
this tract was located south Of what is
known as the Wilkes line. This conten-
ton was denied by the plaintiff In error
who claimed that the said tract could
be located at ALL the beginning corner
and the closing line must be on the
Wilkes-county line, and all the land lying
north of said line, and that the plain
tiff in error had never been in pos
session Of any land north of said Wilkes
county line. The land which the de-
PENDANT claims, that the plaintiff wrong
fully holds Is shown by the evidence and
the plat TO be far south Of the Wilkes
county line. There IS a further conten-
ton that even II the defendant in error
could locate the 59OO0-acre tract south Of
the Wilkes-county line, the evidence
showed that it was too far west to cover
the land of which the plaintiff is In pos
session.
