READY FOR WAR.

Among the first Confederate veterans
to take official action on the possibilities
of war with Spain were those OF the
Turner-Ashby Camp, Of Winchester,
who at their regular meeting last week
unanimously adopted aresolution offer
ing their services to President McKln-
lev in case of war between this country
and Spain. The resolution was adopt
ed after the usual routine business had
been disposed Of, and after general
order from headquarters, signed by
Grand Commander John B. Gordon,
had been read. This order contained
the request that the camps throughout
the South would solicit their respective
congressman to use their influence to
secure additional appropriations from
Congress for the purchase OF the battle
fields in the South to be turned into
national parks. The resolution, which
was enthusiastically adopted, was as
follows:
RESOLVED, That the services Of the 100
members OF this camp, the majority OF
whom are tutored in warfare by Gen
erals II. E. Lee, T. J. Jackson, and j..
E. B. Stuart, are hereby rendered the
President of the United States in case
of war between the United States and
Spain or any other country.

In Peru they drink mate, a tea made

holly. This is the only mate tea, but
there is a Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call

Of ledum. Oswego tea al made from
the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea

tea and catnip tea and mint tea are
used, though not as beverages.
In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to

said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves IF an orchid, Angroecum

Charles Guscott, the Latimer school

Latimer just previous to the shooting.
After this Guscott pointed out by

the shooting, just where the deputies
stood, where the strikers halted, where
the sheriff met the strikers and where
the dead and wounded had fallen.

shooting, and that there was some

1 Waiter Who Can Tell q Mans Occu>
patton by the Way He Eats.
There is a waiter in a Dearborn street
restaurant who has discovered the sci
ence of reading a mans occupation by
his manner of eating. He can look into
the calm eye Of a customer engaged in
disarticulating a cham and" and de-
termine with wonderful accuracy
whether the man is a scissors grinder Or
e State street merchant.
Of course one must be a close observer
20 do all this, and it isn't everybody
shat is afforded a lunch counter for a
field Of study. Yet if the student will
avail himself Of opportunities while
seated at the mahogany board he will
find that when the business man is at
the table some habit acquired in the
daily pursuance of his profession will
be sure to show itself.
For an instance. the banker may come
N and order wheat cakes. If he does,
the waiter declares he will invariably
Zip his fingers i'll to water and run
Ger the cakes to see If there is a mis-.
count
The gambler will look around to see
if any one is watching and then palm u
slice Of bread. If he orders iapjack>, he
is sure to slip them one by one from the
bottom as he eats them. The clothing
salesman will hold his fapjacks up to
the light and feel the texture, while the
keen observer will notice that the jew.
eler, upon ordering pie, will hold it to
his ear, shake it and then listen, after
which he will lift off the top crust with
the point Cf his knife and examine the
insides.
During an interview tho other day
the waiter stated that he called his new
science 'eatlstry.'
