WOMAN AND HOME.
MISS NELLIE ELY.
Appointed Colonel on the stan of
Tennessee's Governor.

Appointed n Colonel on the STAN of
Tennessee's Governor.
Woman's sphere has extended to
every field of human effort except the
field of battle, No states can lay claim
TO better right to extend this preroga-
tive to the sex than Georgia and Ten
nessee. Nearly every foot of soil in
these two commonwealths has known
the fury of shell and fire.
In the absence of any constitutional
prohibition in their respective states,
Gov Atkinson, of Georgia, and Gov.
Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee, have
seen fit to appoint ladies on their staffs,
with the commissions of colonel.
Those martial qualities and those SOL
dierly instincts which Joan dare de-
veloped on the field are not looked
for nor expected from these young
women. They are not asked to buckle
on armor and go forth seeking whom
they may devour. Their commissions
were graceful recognition of the fact
that Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war"
The fair colonel from Tennessee is a
typical representative OF an illustrious
lineage. Col. Nellie Ely springs from
family that has contributed to the
history of two states.
Her antecedent, Gov. Isaac Shelby,
enjoyed the unique distinction of hav-
ing been the first governor of Ken
lucky aud the subsequent governor of
the later sister commonwealth of Ten
nessee. She comes of a race of beauti-
full women. Her mother was Miss
Ruth Whiteside, of Shelbyville, Tenn,
who was noted in her day for being
one of the south's most beautiful and
cultured women.
An aunt of Col. Ely was the famous
southern beauty, Miss Maggie White

fame as bell was coextensive with

GEN. LEE AND PRIVATE SMITH.
Two Occasions on which the Former
Entertained the Latter.


Entertained the Latter.
Henry II. Smith, the well-known
cotton broker of Atlanta, Co., Isl a
model business man, and apparently
the last person in the world to take any
liberties with n stranger. But appear
ances are sometimes deceptive, and
Smith makes out o strong case against
himself in n story which he occasional
ly tells when he attends confederate
reunion.
"In the early part of the war;" said
Smith, II was a private soldier under
Stonewall Jackson in Virginia. At
that time 1 was q mere boy, and my
gun was almost as big and heavy as
was. You can imagine how tired and
hungry L was after l had marched
two days without any food. A driving
rainstorm came on, and l could hardly
drag my feet along the muddy road. A
tent by the roadside attracted my at
tention, and 1 saw gray-bearded face
peeping out at the marching troops.
"'Hello, old mani 1 shouted; got
anything to eat in there?"
"'Yes; what's the matter?' the man
in the tent replied.
81 told him that 1 was hungry and
had been marching two days without
a scrap of food.
"'Come right in,' said the old fellow,
pleasantly.
Into the tent plunged in hurry,
throwing down my gun and smacking
my lips in anticipation of square
meal. The stranger opened camp
chest and invited me to help myself.
You should have seen the way L sailed
into the rations. ate ravenously,
without saying a word, and for the time
forgot all about my kind host.
FINALLY he asked me if 1 would have
drink of water, and handed me a
gourd from a bucket in one corner of
the tent. 1 took a big drink and got
ready to depart.
"'You have been very kind to me- 1
said to my new friend, and 1 would
like to know your name
My name is Lee was the answer.
'Lee-what Lee? asked him-'not
Gen Lee?'
THAT is my name was his quiet
response.
well, L was taken aback, of course,
but 1 was young and cheeky and 1
made the best of it. Soldiers had no
handkerchiefs, and so 1 wiped my
hand on my breeches and gave the gen.

top cut round hole, large enough to
admit a metal lamp fount. A rim
around the top edge of the fount will,
if the hole is made the right size, pre-
vent it from falling into the box.
All over the top and sides of the
box fasten ordinary burlaps with
liquid glue, and when it is thoroughly
dry give the bagging few successive
coats of light olive green paint. Sand
paper the burlaps before applying the
last coat, so an even and smooth sur
face may be obtained.
Bind the edges of the bcx with strips
of sheet iron, allowing about three
quarters of an inch of metal to show on
a side. Fasten the iron on with large
oval-headed brass upholsterers' tacks,
driven at equal distances apart.
On a sheet of paper draw the pat
tern shown on one side of the box and
cut pieces from the thin iron to work
out the pattern on each side. Tack
these pieces on with good-sized oval
headed iron carpet tacks and then give
all the metal work a coat or two of
ivory black paint, thinned with japan

EngIand's After-Dinner Speakers.

Twenty years ago the best dinner.
table takers in England were thought
to be Lord Chief Justice Cockburn,
Queens Counselor Judah p. Benjamin,
Mr.. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning,
Lord Rosebery and Dean Stanley.
Twentyyears before that Macaulay and
Carlyle headed the list. In Dickens
time he ranked as tha best after-dinner
speaker, and Sala enjoyed that dis.
tinction for few years before his
death. There is now rather dearth of
takers and speakers of the first luster
in that country, though both are like
ly to appear at any time. The advent
of new Brougham or Macaulay cam
not be expected every day, Dut the pos
sibility ofitisbynomeans extinguished.

Richmond, Va; at Dallas, Tex; at
St. Louis and other points all who have
come within the radius of her influence
have succumbed to her wonderfully fas-
cinating personality.
Gov. Taylor has known her since
childhood, Warm friendship has ex-
listed between the governor and the
coloneIs father, Mr.. Jesse Ely, for
years. Her appointment is perhaps due
in some measure to this friendship,
but chiefly to the social triumph she
achieved on the occasion of the late
reunion ball, when, as vice president
of the club, she devoted all her ener-
gies to its success. She wore neither
jewelry nor flowers upon this occasion,
but appeared in plain gown of red
satin. Her beauty, however, with her
native refinement and modesty of de-
meanor, made her conspicuous when
least she sought to be. 1t was on this
occasion that Gov. Taylor announced
his intention of commissioning her a
colonel.
She is brunette of medium stature.

and in every glance of her large, bril-
liant eyes there is that peculiar charm

1t was tedious work waiting, and

there was but little game in this vaunt-

tusks till the blood-stained froth flew
in flecks all over his massive chest, dashed
into view, closely followed by De NJ. and
Hans, who were holding back the
hounds. 1t was a critical moment while
the boar stood at bay. To reach my
rifle before the boar would be upon me
was clearly impossible, and there was
nothing for me to do but to stand my
ground and await the onslaught of the
enraged and ferocious brute, rendered
doubly savage by the wound in his
chest. AS he stood eyeing me with his
small, blood-shot eyes, he seemed to
become aware of an enemy in his rear,

Mrs. ROrer Gives Timely Directions
for Putting Up Fruit.
In the Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. S,
7. Rorer writes on Canning and Pre-,
serving" At the outset of her lesson
she emphasizes the value of securing
perfectly sound and fresh fruits, and
the necessity of getting the cans and
canning appurtenances in readiness in
advance. ITO prevent breaking when
filling the jars" Mrs. Rorer advises that
they be slipped 'sidewise into a kettle
of hot water, rolling them so that every
part may be quickly and uniformly
heated. Fold damp towel, place it in
the bottom of pudding pan, then neal
the preserving kettle; stand jar on
the towel, and if the fruit is small ad.
Just the funnel; fill quickly to over
flowing. Run heated silver knife
around the inside of the jar, to break
any air bubbles that may have beer
caught with the fruit, and adjust the
rubber, then lift the lid from the hot
water and place it at once. If large
fruit fill with wooden spoon, arrang'
ing the fruit so that the weight of onS
piece will not destroy the Shape OF
another. Fill to overhowing with the
liquid, water or sirup, and fasten tight
1y. After sealing stand the jars OUT o.
a draft over night. The glass by that
time will have contracted, and the lids
will, in consequence, be loose. Wipe
each jar carefully and give the top an
extra turn. Put away in a cool, not
cold, dark closet. AT the end of week
examine each jar carefully, without
shaking or disturbing more than neces
sary. If you find the lids Slightly
indented, the contents free from all
bubbles or froth, and the liquid settled
you may rest assured they will keep.
If you do not find it so, open the jars to
prevent bursting. Reheat the fruit, be
ing careful to bring it to boiling point
and re-can."
