some amusement
Because one Of the best sermons I
have ever heard has been preached to

Then he watched her as she went
from one bed of mignonette to anoth-
er, looking eagerly for the choicest
sprays, holding them up to him with
wistful, eager face and sweet, pathet-
ic eyes.

he will be pleased! I shall tell you
how I get on. l am nervous about

In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared, and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
A man might lay down his life for
such woman as that" he said, with
what was almost a sigh
Lord Caraven stood in. the billiard
room at Ravensmere; he had been
playing with one of his friends, who,
having received a telegram, had gone
to answer it. He stood alone, leaning
carelessly against the open veranda,
something more than his usual indif-
ference darkening his face; he never
liked interruption during game.
"A most unpropitious moment"
thought the young countess, as she
caught sight of him; but, having CIV
en- her word to Sir Raoul, she would
have marched up to the mouth of O
loaded cannon rather than have brok-
en- it,
Looking up, the earl could not but
confess that he had seldom seen a
lovelier picture than his young wife at
that moment presented, with a flush
on her face, and her hands filled with
sprays Of fragrant mignonette.
She would not reveal her hesitation.
but went straight to him, smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
TO happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in soft.
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.
"There!" said a laughing voice. "You
said this morning that this was your
favorite flower. I have been looking
for the most fragrant sprays of it that
l could find"

NAME FOR TIE BATTLE
 OFF SANTIAGO BAY.
lieutenant whitlessy Suggests .rho
 Battle of July ThIrd,n and It Meets With Approval.

Washington, July 28.-A name has been found at last for the remarkable battle between the American and Span. lsh fleets that resulted in the destruction of Ceryera's 5 squadron. The absence of name has been felt in the clumsy at. tempt made in official reports to refer to the engagement, Lieutenant Whitle- sey of the navigation bureau has evolved name that is likely to be formally adopted for the engagement. It is aThe Battle of July Third. /"
 He does this for the reason that some Of the most famous battles that the world has known have been christened as on the date on which they were fought. Thus, sThe Battle of July First" was attached to the famous naval engagement fought ill midocean between Lord Howe's fleet on the one side and the combined French and Spanish fleets on the other, which resulted in the mem orable victory of the British navy.
 Louis Kempner has been designated by Postmaster General Smith to act as postmaster at Santiago. This action was taken because Major Stuart who had been selected for this place desired to remain with the army. He has Q commission as major in the Eighth Hi nois. Instructions were issued to MT. 
 kempner to administer the postal affairs at Santiago under the supervision of the military authorities.
 Postmaster General Smith gives notice that all letters addressed to sol- diers and sailors of the United States i'll Porto Rico, Cuba or Manila will con tinue to be sent as heretofore at the 2- cent rate. The recent order opening general postal communication with San- tiago and fixing the 5.eent rate for let ters and the other rates of the postal union for other articles, applies only to the general services which is entirely distinct from the army and navy sery- ice.

A Remarkable Cure.

Mir Alexander Moore, a reliable busi- ness man, of 1230 5. 18th St, Philadel- phia, Pa, says: 'I contracted violens cold which settled all over me. The pain ill my chest and side was excruci ating. The doctor gave me medicine and blistered my side, but only grew worse. Then you gave me bottle or Brazilian Balm. l had little or no faith ill it, but decided to try it. I took 5 or 4 good doses before bed time, and rubbed it well over my blistered side. That night I slept like top-ny first gooe. rest for over week and awoke in the morning ezt1ed. Brazilian Balm is sim. ply invaluable"

colors- England with rubies, India with
diamonds, tho sea with emeralds. and so

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY.

How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George B. Mcclellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1861, to March, 1862, and most of it in
Virginia as far down the Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up az Chain bridge
and as far out toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill. Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers
That year there was Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
homes of the large cities had come the
best in the market From tens of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare.
On Christmas, 1868, the army was
shiyering along the rivers Rappahan-
mock and Rapidan, and as far out as Gull
pepper Court House. It was too cold, and
the men were too poorly housed to en-
JOY the day. It was not holiday to
many-a day of misery, instead. That
was the coldest Christmas the south
had seen for so years, and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order of
the day in 1864 The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, a distance of nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
commissions had arranged to supply the
army with a Christmas dinner. Few
men were overlooked. Except that in
1861, it was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began.
There were many signs that the next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
and so it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 80 to the evening
of April 9, after Grant and Lee met at
Appomattox. Milwaukee Sentinel

The foliage of Christmas tree may
be brushed here and there with muci-
lage and then sprinkled with common
salt and very pleasing result is OBJ
tanned. A pretty drapery for the tree is
made by cutting long strips. about four
inches wide, of tissue paper, then cut
ting it closely, partly. but not entirely,
across the widths, making fringes. If
the strips be dampened and held over a
hot stove, the fringed edges will curl
and look quite ornamental. Omaha

MERRY MOMENTS.
His only Rival.


Now, George. please don't be cross
Nor get your BRAN asfhirl.
OF course twould be a dreadful loss
Were to Steal your girl.
Please send that silly frown away;
We just went TO a matinee.
Yes, we went to see a show;
Had just a single seat you know
Strange? 1t may seem so TO you
But it was big enough for two.
Because, old boy. she held me tight
And fondled me with great delight
Though others saw, she did not care,
As she caressed my silken hair.
While going home through lent street
She said to me. You're Just too sweet!'
And all the while her BIT of lace
And purse had in my embrace.
And listen. George. I held her hand
Upon which shines the jeweled band
You gave to her that fateful day
When she said She q be yours for aye,
And in her eyes there shone a fire.
Be patient, George; dom show your ire
Perhaps I've gibed you quite enough.
I'm only MabeI's new fur nun.

a Christmna Eye Idxl.

The hour was late; the lights burned low,
The fire but half dispelled the gloom;
A youth and maid. with cheeks aglow,
Sat silent in the room.
Twas Christmas eve, and half in jest
They would not say good night. because
They'd vowed to watch and do their best
To see old Santa Claus.
Slow ticked the clock; they said no word;
The solemn midnight hour drew near,
And still no telltale sound was heard
OF Santa coming near.
Twelve struck; and then. all suddenly,
A guest came in. surprised the pair:
1t was not San u ,laus, not he,
But Cupid thar stood there

And up and down 'twixt heaven and

The time draws near the birth of Christ:
The moon is hid; the night is still:
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in the mist.

But let it whistle as it will
We'll keep one Christmas merry still.

When we love and bless the hand we
press,
When the Christmas log is burning.

Avery pretty decoration for the table

and silvered walnuts make it bright

with the powder that comes for the pur-

be trimmed and prepared for you by
any florist and should be planted in a
fancy low vase or dish. The picturesque
dwarf evergreens that come from Japan
are most effective when used in this
way, and yet they are such costly treas
