a LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ,
l was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
l do not know what was playing,
Or what l was dreaming then;
But I struck one chord Of music,
Like the sound Of q great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close Of an Angels Psalm.
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With a touch of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
AS if it were 10th to cease.
l have sought, but I seek it yainly,
That one lost chord divine,
Which came from the soul of the
organ,
And entered into mine.
h may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again,
It may be that only in Heaven
1 shall hear that grand Amen.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Invitations to all formal affairs
well as his wife. This ~ the law, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Picayune
A girl of 16 or less has no possible
use for visiting cards, since she is not
yet in the social whirI. Yet some
have them.
When one has a clergyman as a
guest it is customary to ask him to
ask a blessing" upon the food, even
if you are an unbeliever; it is cour-
teOus to do so.
Never arrive at a luncheon or dn-
ner earlier than five minutes before
the time set, and upon no account a
moment late.
A well-bred man who calls upon a
family where there are a number of
young ladies will not only inquire for
them but leave his card for each.
Never omit a note Of thanks to any
person who has sent you a gift
great or trifing. Should you do so
you are self-confessed ignorant of all
rules of etiquette and gratitude
When your hostess serves wine do
not make open protest if you are a
white ribboner. An almost imper-
ceptible motion will tell the waitress
you refuse it, and you will be re-
spected for your golden silence.
If a country friend runs into town
In
point to meet her in the shopping dis
trict, so as to save her needless look
Ing around after what you know ex-
actly where to buy to advantage.
If you wish a man to repeat his
visit do not seek to detain him when
he has once risen to depart. Ask him
to come again at some future time
You can never become a successful
hostess if you do not keep informed
upon the principal topics of the day
Read the best newspapers and good
literature.
While regular features are only
possible to those to whom nature has
given them, in these days days adj
pose tissue is either the slave or mas
ter OF the will. Mind over matter
Cheshy) is not a myth.
After all, posture is the very axis
Of physical comeliness. Given
lovely Cupid's mouth, if it be al
lowed to hang idioticaIiy loose, the
face is hideous. So with the form.
The replica of a perfect Venus, whose
body is held careIessly, shoulders and
chest dropping, might as well be a
harpie.
Children who are ''stooped' or who
throw out the abdomen unduly are
sadly numerous these days. Forum
ately, their redemption is not impos-
sible, physically speaking. Stand
tall" instead Of Throw back your
shoulders" is the magical word of
command.

and is adorned with four big buttons.
A large, square collar of the material
extends over the shoulders to form

vers and collar Of black satin.

CORAL AGAIN THE FASHION.
Coral is all the fashion. Strings of
coral beads, such as were in high
favor with cur grandmothers, are
shown at the jewelers.; the identical
yariously looped strands and medal
lions that are seen about the necks
and waists Of old-time daguerreotype
portraits, and belonged to the age Of
tippets and undersleeves. A number
Of Albany women possess notably
handsome sets of coral necklaces, ETC..
that are v5ritable heirlooms. A neck
lace OF coral beads, graduated In size,
but all Of uniform color and quality
is sold today for $3.50. The pale pink
coral, even in small-sized beads of
superior quality, is held at a high
price because Of its scarcity. A neck
lace Of it, the beads being Of moder-
ate size, costs SIS. Chains. formed of
two or three delicate strands, linked
together at intervals by a single large
bead, are much ia favor and can be
had for $40 or $50. Strings Of beads
varying in shade are of much less
value and are sold as low as s12 and
SIS. The coral In these is compare
lively lustreless and looks ordinary.
Long links Of tiny coral beads no big
ger than pins head are used for at
taching fans. lorgnettes, eyeglasses,
purses and the like, to the safety hook
on the front Of the corsage or to the
belt. These are not expensive.

BILIOUS HEADACHES.

4 bilious headache is a somewhat
common complaint, but no less disa-
greeable On that account. There are
remedies for it by the dozen, but
probably none simpler or more effect

filing a breakfast cup with black
coffee, squeeze into it the juice of one
lemon and in a very short time after
this has been taken relief will be ex-
perienced.

cordial gravity. She noted that he
took not moment longer at the

THE body of a Spanish citizen, who went down on the French steamer Borgogne, was found sfioat by an American skipper few days after wards and on the body were checks to the value of over 8 quarter of 8 million pesetas. The skipper claims the checks on the ground that his country was at war with Spain and he captured the body and checks; he claims large portion of the find on account of salvage, if the first proposi- ton don't stick. French law comes in on the ground that the deceased was sailing on vessel of French registra- ton and was therefore within French jurisdiction at the time of his death. At any rate it Is safe to say that by the time the law get through with the case the shippers find will be scarcer than Q run of cod in bad year.

OUR VICTORIOUS FLEET
Arrives In Now York Harbcr and is Enthu siassicaily Welcomed by Over
 Million People.

The greatest display of patriotic en. thusiasm ever witnessed in this count ry occurred in New York City Saturday last, the event being rousing recep- tion to the victorious fleet. Sampson's and Schley's ships were sighted ct daybreak and entered the harbor at g o'clock. At 9 o'clock Sampson's flag ship, the New York, was boarded by Mayor Van Wyck, who welcomed the heroes.
 The fleet formed in proce ssion and passed through the many thousands of overcrowded boats up the Hudson river to Grants tomb, where Q nation al salute was fired by all the ships at noon. The city was decarated splen- didly. Over million people witnessed the naval parade.
 While the officers and men of Samp- son and Schley's fleet were highly pleas- ed with their reception, their greatest joy was on learning the news of the fall oi fdanila. When Schley learned that not man of Dewey's feet was hurt during the bombardment he led the cheers which the sailors on the Brooklyn and other vessels joined in.
 The health of tue feet is excellent. The ships need docking badly, the In- diana, Iowa and New York especially. Toe first nEmed vessel will probably require through overhauling of hex machinery. Twice on hes trip from Guantanamo her coadersers broke down.

Lieutenant Hobson's Busy Day.
Igsom Hsrper,. weekIr.l

This has been great month for Constructor Hobson. He had to come home on official business to plan for raising the sunken Spanish war-ahips, and though he has gone about that business with devoted diligence he has not been able to avoid great deal of miscellaneous recognition. He must have found this trying country for a modest man, but, after all, he couldn't hsde for the rest of his days, and as his tellow-Americsls had accounts to Esettie with him, the settlement might as well come first Rs last. The culmi- nation of his endorsements came on the evening of August 4, in New York, when, with the consent of secretar Y Long, he presided at the public meet ing held under she auspices of the New York Soldiers and Sailors Fami- lies Protective Association. The object of the meeting YVES to raise funda for the relief of tine families Of soldiers and sailors who have gone to the war ftom the city of New York. The means used to raise tae money was to put Lieutenant Robson on exhibition as presiding officer, to have speeches rnads by him and other eminent gentle men, and to charge from fifty cents to . dollar for admission. The meeting was highly successful. Lieat. Hobson told beautiful stories about the Jackies, and told them very, very well. He was cheered, praised, end admired; some thonsands of enthusiastic citizens can now boast that they have seen him and heard him talk, and fund for aa eniaently worthy and patriotic pur- pose has been increased by thirty-fve hundred dollars.

Mastering Out.
tBrom the Los Angeles Times-l

tEEOm LNc AOs a h8r rApE AaAAc7-t
 Now that the war is over, the muster
 ing out of troops has already begun,
 and will doubtless be continued as fast
 as practicable until only enough men
 are retained in the service to carry out
 the plans of the government in the new territory over which we have acquired control, and to maintain our national
 defepses. The number of men who |
 will be required for these purposes
 cannot now be accurately determined,
 but it is not at all probable that the | number will be less than 100, ,000. If l
 this number be retained, 10000 meu,
 approximately, will be released from the service. Most of those who have
 not yet seen active service will natur- 1 ally be mustered out, US the seasoned itroops will be more valuable for the
 service which will berequiredhereafter. The mastering out of this large body
 of troops will greatly reduce ths ex- 2 penses of the military establishment,
 witch have necessarily been extremely
 heavy since the beginning of the WAT. :. But for some month to come these ex- penses will continue to be heavy as compared to ordinary expenses on peace footing The evacuation of Cuba and other possessions which recently
 belonged to Spain can not be accom- : plished in 6 day, nor in week. It will } require several months; and in the meantime 1t will be absolutely 5 necessary for us to maintain at all 2 principal points sufficient forces to con- g trol the situstion--to preserve order Q and to see that the terms o9 the peace Q agreement are carried out in good Q faith. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has estimat- r cd that not less than 45 900 men will be q required for this purpose in Cuba alone
 The number which will be required ir s the Philippines Is indeterminste as yet .e but 1t is not probable that the force D. assigned to Gen. Merritt will be re- }: duced, at least not for some time ); Thus, altough the war Is ended, VI
