"Shabby Old Coat"

West Point was for the last ten years
of his life the summer home of Gener
al Scott, of whom Mrs. Sherwood in
her "reminiscences, pleasantly gos-
sips;
The hero of the Mexican war always,
on the Fourth of July, wore his old
military coat, the one i'll which he rode
into the Mexican capital ION top of a
picnic, " as he used to say. VERY shah
by old coat, madam, very shabby old
coatl" the gratified old man would ex-
claim as he felt a lady's hand laid gen
tly ON his army as she asked to touch
the sacred cloth. He wore the coat on
many historic days and was pleased to
shoulder his cane and fight his battles
over again.
Once, while telling the story of Ar
nold's TREASON and pointing out from
the hotel piazza the spots associated
with the traitor. he said, referring to
Mrs. Arnold's devotion to her husband,
"She chung like ivy to worthless

THE DUNKERS' LOVE FEAST.
Feet Washing, the Great supper and the
Kiss of Peace

Kiss OF Peace.
1.-THE most important and the most
beautiful custom of the Dunkers is their
love feast, which they celebrate i'll com
memoration of the Lord supper, after
the manner of the primitive Chris
tians, writes Clifford Howard il de-
scribing the customs OF the Dunkers of
Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa, in The
Ladies' Home Journal.
1.-The celebration is held at nightfall
and begins with the rite of feet wash
ing. in imitation of the act performed
by the Master ut the last supper, when
he washed the feet of his disciples
Small tubs of lukewarm water are
brought in, and those about to receive
the ordinance remove their shoes and
stockings. The brothers then in turn,
each one girding himself with a towel,
wash and dry one another's feet, the
sisters at the same time doing likewise
among themselves in their part of the
room.
After this follows the supper, the
feast of love, which is spread ON long
tables and consists of lamb soup and
bread and other simple yiands. 1t is
eaten in deyout solemnity and reyer-
ence. At the close of the meal the broth
ers turn to one another and extend the
right hand of fellowship and the kiss Of
peace, each one shaking hands with his
neighbor and kissing him, while the
sisters at their tables perform the same
beautiful rite among themselves. The
communion is then administered. "

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Assistant
Secretary Howell of the Treasury De-
partment was heard before the Com
mittee on Ways and Means to-day on
the need of extending the tariff laws TO
Hawaii as soon as possible. He read a
letter from Harold Sewell, former
United States Minister there, and now
special agent Of the Treasury, stating
that this immediate extension of the
laws was imperative, in order to pre-
vent the irregular entry of goods to the
United States by way of Hawaii.
The committee agreed to the imme-
date extension proposed, and Hawaii
will be established as one of the GUS
toms districts, with three supports of
entry, viz: Hilo, Mahukana and Ka-
have headquarters at Honolulu, and
will receive $4,000 salary. Speedy ac-
ton by the House will be secured
Later the Hawaiian tariff bill was
perfected and introduced by Mr.. Ding
ley. There is necessity for the prompt
passage of the BILL says the accompany
Ing report, because it is said that there
is a concerted plan of foreign dealers
to send large quantity Of merchandise
and enter it under the Hawaiian tariff,
with a view of taking advantage of the
nominal duties, and subsequently to
ship it TO other ports of the United
States as articles of domestic commerce.

matter which came before the meeting g

was the report of the Committee on
Reciprocity and Export Trade. The
resolutions embodied in the report,
which was adopted, recommend that
reciprocal treaties should be nogotiat-
ed, especially with the countries of the
American Continent. The resolutions
also urged the establishment of COM
plete reciprocal treaty relations be-

of Canada and the colony of New
foundland
A report from the Postal Committee
was also adopted, favoring the enact
ment Of the Loud bill or some similar
legislation amending the postal laws
relative to secOnd-class matter. which,
at the present rates, is calculated to
make heavy drain on the postal reve-
nueS.
A committee also reported a resolu-
