THE BIG BABY SHOW.

Will Be Held at Savin Rock To-Day.
 The big prize baby show at Savin Rock to-day will be one of the most novel incidents of the season at the shore. Over 100 babies are entered, and everything is in readiness for their comfort. Costly prizes are to be award ed, and as the Judges and referee are to be chosen from the audience no charge of favoritism can be made. The exhibition and contest will take place in the ball grounds under large tent with no side walls, thus affording the darling dimpled babies plenty of air and comfort. All mothers who have babies entered should report at the bureau of information not later than 3:3O Though the day may be cloudy the weather man says it will not rain. Anyone in doubt had best come to the green and inquire of the starter. Baby carriages, decorated or not. will be car ried free and should be at 200 Meadow street as early as possible.

BELTS AND BUCKLES.

At this moment the girl whose father fought in the civil war, who can go to his old army chest in the attic and bravery of his long forgotten uniforms, and bring forth big emblazoned belt and buckle clasps, is the envy of her companions. The war is the dominant note is the music of the day. What ever else we are about, our hearts are in Cuba, in Tampa, in Chickamuga, and our thoughts are with the splendid fellows who are enduring hardship, wound, and pain, without single mur- mur. for the sake of their country. The tragic undertone of life now is irf sharp opposition to the gayety of other sum- mers, when we had no such reason for anxiety.
 All which girls can do to show their full sympathy with the men at the front they take pains to do with their might. Enthusiasm is the significant fact of the period. It influences every thing-our social occasions, our plea- sures, our church services, and even our church services, and even our dress. The young girl clasps her belt with a. broad bronze or silver shield on which are emblazoned the arms of her state, of her country's eagle, and she proclaims to every beholder that her support is given to the cause for which men are fighting and dying.
 Belts and buckles are among the most useful and graceful gifts which may be sent from friend to friend or bestowed upon a bride. A jewelled belt Is a possession which a woman prizes; belt clasp of gold and silver is kept among a girls particular belongings, and it usually takes on something of its owners Individuality. We know how associations gather around certain adjuncts of dress, how we learn to con- meet a brooch or chatelaine with the girl whose property it is. So with a belt or buckle, a clasp gemmed or engraved or decorated, comes in our minds to be linked with the dainty presence of the Enid or the Dorothy to whose toilette it lends a charm.
 The girls white gown, filmy and cloudlike as she glides through the dance, has no remote suggestion of camps and marches and the stubborn siege. But the soldiers emblem at her waist. the soldiers button at her throat remind of drum beat and cannon's crash, and have a poetry of their own, which tugs at the heart of the most ntimental.-Harpers Bazar.

varying fortunes of the Army of the Potomac, and by faithful service rose to the rank of sergeant.
 After the disastrous battle of Fred erieksburg Swackhammer's name ap- peared on the long roll of the missing. Months and years followed and no tid- lnss came from the sergeant, and his Wlfe and little ones mourned for him as one dead. A few months ago the youngest of Swackhammers sons left the old farm and enlisted in a Phila- delphia regiment to help whip the Dons.
 While at Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va, a few days since, the young sold- fer entered a little restaurant in a little village near by. He entered into con- versation with the proprietor of the place, and soon learned that he had formerly lived in Pennsylvania. The soldier said that was his home state.
 From what county do you come?" inquired the old man.
 From Susquehanna," was the reply. DO you know the Swackhammers up there?"
 T should say I did!" was the reply. My name is Stephen Swackhammer.' ''
 What was your fathers name?" ex- citedly cried the old restauranteur.
 His name was John Swackhammer He was killed in the war of the Rebel lion.''
 My God! am your father!'" cried the old man as he tottered to a chair.
 After he recovered his composure he said that after the battle of Fredericks- burg he languished in the rebel prisons at Andersonyille and Florence for a long period, during which he was wrecked in health and mind. Then fol lowed years that are dead blank to him. When memory was partially res tored he had forgotten his own name his family and the State from whence he came. Within month all the varied happenings of his life have passed in panorama before his troubled vision.
 The young soldier will get furlougt and accompany his father back to the lonely ones among the rugged hills o1 Susquehanna county.-Kansas City Journal.

THE WHITE HORSE OF WEST.
 BURY,
A Singular Old English Landmark
 Gets A Grooming"


 Gets A Grooming"
 The White Horse of Westbury is landmark we'll known to those travel ling to Weymouth. At the present time it's well-proportioned form on the face of Bratton Hill is undergoing thorough grooming.
 The chalk exterior has been thoroughly cleaned, the foundations strengthened and the stone outlines re- placed It is quarter of a. century ago since the old horse had it's last toilet, so that the present attention it is receiv- ing comes none to soon. The color had begun to run, while the purity of the coat was marred by the elements. To the fund established for the renova- ton the Marquis of Bath and Lord Ludlow each subscribed G10. In ad- dition to the edging of stone which pre- serves the outline, it is intended to have layer of concrete to insure a more lasting foundation. The work of handling the stones on such a steep gradient is a difficult one and they have to be lowered from the summit by ropes.
 The stone drains which many years ago were introductsd at the the ex- tremities of the four legs to carry off the water from the surface have long been checked up, and to this was large ly due to dishgurement which had set in about the eye of the famous monster, making that essential portion of the anatomy shapeiess mass of rough Jumps of almost bare turf.
 To insure still greater protection than hitherto 1t is proposed to erect a small wire fence around the outside to keep excursionists and animals, parti- cularly sheep, from straying over the surface.
 Unwonted liberties have been taken with the history of the old landmark but according to the accepted legend it was first carved to commemorate Alfred's victory at Ethandum over the Danes. Originally it measured 100 feet by 54 feet, and in it's early days it distantly resembled, as MT. Pickwick says of the white horse over the hotel at Ipswich, an insane cart horse. In IT'S the animal had become practically obscured, and it's resuscitation was ac- complished by an agent of the Earl of Abingdon, with the assistance so it is said, of a local schoolmaster and his pupils. The change the figure under went was nothing short of revolution. 1 The figure was turned into the repre- sentation of an animal of almost Ara bian slenderness of limb, and it's size was increased to 175 feet by 107 feet London Mail.
