dollars in fines. On the third day he
invaded three private houses where
the %neonle claimed .hs. they had paid
the bills before, and told them that

bring in any money, but the people
sent me word that they would hold
me personally responsible. On the

Tie Care OF the Hands.

That white wonder-a woman
hand-over which artists have ravcd
and poets sung, requires much early
training, as well as great care. The
etiquette Of the hand is as important
as the care CT it. for, no matter how
beautiful the hand, it loses half its
grace and charm if it is awkwardly
and incorrectly and gawkily used.
The well-hred woman should always
remember that her hands should V
be conspicuous. No matter how infor-
mel The occasion, she should v
stand with her hands on her hips.
She may consider it an attractive pose,
but such an action is never becoming
to a gcntlewoman.
She should r,ver use her hand in
pointing, nor should she beckon to an
acquaintance in public places. In
both cases she is not only making her
hand conspicuous. but stamping her
self i'll bred.
Both men and women should always
pay particular attention to the care &C
their hands. They should never
allow their nails to grow long and
they should always be kept scrupu-
lousy clean and like clear pearl. 1t
is vulgar to manicure the nails to cx-
cess. They should never be overpol-
ished, cut to extreme points, nor be
%arti6cially rouged to an unnatural,
over rosy and ';brilliantine" hue. No
woman, no matter how nervous her
temperament. should ever bite her
7ails. BY doing so she not only in
jures her health, but presents Il most
undignified picture. The woman who
bites her nails Immediately puts her.
self upon a level with a baby who
sucks his thumb and SO does a man.
The heavily bejeweled hand is, not
in such good taste as that of the wo-
man who wears a very few, but exceed
~. handsome rings. The Overlooking
of the fingers with rings is the worst
possible taste, and the woman who
wears diamonds on her thumbs is
nothing less than vulgariiy pe%rsonified.
The practice of adopting every FASH
ionable h%and-shake is to be condemn
ed. Strike the happy medium and
always shake hands heartily; never in
a pump-handlc manner; not as if it
were an absolute bore.
The awkward man has no limit to
the troubles with his hands. He
never knows what to do with them !;
consequently they add much to his
aw~kwardncss. What an estimable
blessing his pockets are to him under
such a stress. 1t is not only the awk-
ward man, unused to society, but the
man Of fashion. who needs instruction
in the proper use of his hands. No
man should stand with his hands in
his pocket in the presence of a woman.
1t is at least disrespectful.
Not even in business hours should
a man stand with his thumbs in the
armholes Of his waistcoat. 1t is not
only ungentlemanlike-it is simply
| boorish.
The wcll-bred man never puts out
his hand until the lady first offers
hers.
A man should never shake hands
with a woman while wearing his
gloves, unless she also is gloved..
A man always removes his glove
from his right hand on entering a
d~rawing-room when making a call

W~ashington's Cup,

The following story was related to
the editor of the Natchez, Miss, Dem
1erat and another journalist while on
a visit to the sage Of D~Lnbarton:
MANY years ago." said Colonel
Claiborne, when l had planting in
terests in Madison and Holmes coun-
ties, l used to ride through the coun-
try on horseback, and as | was in fee
BILE health l usually had in my saddle
bag a bottle Of good old brandy. This
l had to economize, as it was not to
be obtained on the route. Stopping
one day at the log cabin Of a good old
mani will cell him Shaw-bcforc
taking the dinner he had prepared, |
drew out my bottle, and, Of course,
invited my host t join Inc in testing
the virtues of my Otard. My host.
looking at the bottle, very considerable
IS, as | thought, declined my invita-
:iom Oh the scorc that there was not
probaly more of the brandy than
would last me to the end Of my Jour
ncy. Really approaching the consiJ-
Grafton Of my friend. | insisted on his
joining me in a drink, and, as further
induccmcnt told him that the cup from
which lie would drink had once been
the property of General Washington,
and that he would have the pleasure
of drinking from a cup which had
touched the lips Of the father Of his
country.
"'This cup, you say, belonged to
the immortal Washington, the father
Of his country? Then | will take IL
drink from it, SO saying, he poured
out a stiff horn, and having smacked
his lips over it, a thought seemed to
strike him, and he called out, oh!
Mrs. Shaw, come here, if you please.
Mrs. Shaw said he, this cup was the
property of the immortal Washington,
and has touched the lips Of the father
Of his country. You must take u sip
Of good brandy from this venerable
relic So she poured out another
drink from my bottle, which was
quaffed with a relish by Mrs. Shaw.
My friend again called out: oh! Polly
Shaw, come here, my daughter. Here
is a cup that once belonged to the i'm
mortal Washington, and has touched
the lips Of the father Of his country.
You, my daughter. must take a sip of
good brandy from this valuable relic
Miss Polly did not object, and another
draft was made upon my supply Of
Otard.
There was now but a single dose Of
my precious medicine left, and l was
watching it with some anxiety, when
a new impulse seemed to inspire my
friend Shaw, and he cried out: Bring
Claiborne Shaw here Flattered by
the knowledge that a scion Of the Shaw
family waa dubbed with my own pu-
tronymic, / awaited the arri yal Of Clai-
borne Shaw, who proved to be a club
by little fellow of two or three years
of age. Claiborne Shaw. said the
father, here is a cup which belonged
to the immortal Washington, and
which has touched the lips Of the
father of his country. You, my son,
arc too young to sip from this vencra-
BILE relic, but your father will sip it in
your stead Saying which, he pour
ed the last drop Of my old brandy into
the cup and devoured it, in honor Of
the immortal Washington, the father
Of his country

Arizona Heads the List.

The bulletin issued by the live stock association at Denver on the movement of southern cattle during the season ending Nov. 10th, shows heavy de. crease for the past season. The total nam Der of head inspected through thls stats were 2Sc, ,994a againss 372, ,6S9t for 1897. The falling off is believed to be largely due to the war scare-at the tom, mencement of the season, many cattle that had been contracted to be moved being forfeited by the contractors and are still In the south. Another cause of the decrease Is the high prlces that have prevailed and which prevented the northern range buyers from taking their usual number. In 185 Montana took 7S,955 cattle from the south, while thls yeae the total number was only lO,Osl, tremendous falling off.
