How chamberlain First Met His wire

The speech Of Joseph Chamberlain,
advocating an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States, attract
ed so much attention that many per-
sons in discussing the subject recall
the visit which Mr.. Chamberlain made
to Washington in 1887 as chairman Of
the fisheries commission. He was the
social lion Of the hour. A Baltimore
lady who met him tells the following
story to the Sun:
"He was big, burly man, caring so
little for his appearance that at one OF
the most fashionable dinners Of the sea-
son his cravat got turned to almost
under his ear and his shirt stud came
unfastened, and he sat calmly obliv-
ious to either accident. His brains and
charm in conversation won him friends
wherever he went.
Zone day he called on lady who
happened to be giving a girls lunch
con. She went out at once to see him,
and laughingly said that if he did not
mind being the only man present she
would be delighted II he would come
in the dlningroOm and take the va
cant place of one Of her young friends
who did not come. He was not afraid
to face lot Of American Beauties 80
he accepted gayly, and the vacant place
happened to be next that Of Miss Endi-
colt, daughter Of Secretary of War
r, William G. Endicott, of Massachusetts,
a dove-like, slender girl, one of the
greatest bellies Of the day.
"The outcome of this was the mar
rage of the English statesman and
the Puritan maid as she was often
called, his neighbor at an entertain
ment to which he had only been bid
den by that fate which shapes our
ends. rough hew them as we WILL
Biting the Nails.
A simple and very effective way to
cure children of the bad habit Of bit
ing their nails Is to wet the fingers
with quassia tea and allow them to dry
When tasted 1t will be bitter remind
err to cease the practice. If there are
no sore places on the finger tips, very
little colocynth powder, which Is in
tensely bitter, may be busted over
them. When, however, dipping the
finger ends in some bitter tincture fails
as it sometimes will, each finger end
ought to be incased In stall until the
propensity is eradicated.

into n seething mass Of flame and spluttered
