friends and they are legion welcome
the return of Mrs. T. o. Deaderick for
quite visit. As "Josie Heiskell" she
held very special territory in the
hearts of her electromagnetic. 1t

her brother, Mr.. Samuel Heiskell, at
Hotel Flanders.
Mrs. FL. r. Gibson, who has made her
home in Washington of late, has been
in the city for several months and will
remain yet month longer. Mrs. Glib
sons departure left void in the liter
airy and social life of Knoxville. AS
ex-President, and always interested
member of Ossoli Circle, her absence
has made itself especially felt. We do
not wish either the Congressman or his
wife anything in the nature of misfor-
tune, but it will be a pleasant day for
Knoxville when Mrs. Gibson returns to
once more identify herself with club
interests. Mrs. Gibson is deep thinker
and writer Of exquisite delicacy and
yet Of great force. 1t is with pride and
pleasure THE ECHO announces Mrs.
Gibson as one Of it's future contributors.
Her exceptional opportunities to watch
and mingle with the varied life at the

Mr.. Cable and the best man, Mr.. Mer-
rill, had met them under the bridal-bell,
presented a picture long to be remem-
bered by the hundreds of friends who
thronged to do homage to sweet Kath-
crime Woodruff, whom many had watch
ed develope into the charming girl she
il today.
The maids dresses were soft white net
oyer white silk, the skirts trimmed in
rlbbon-edged ruffies, put on like sue
'cession of large rose petals. And very
like flowers they were themselves, with
the dear little pink roses trimming bod
ices, and covering the quaint, tight,
short sleeves. They all carried big
punches of white chrysanthemums.
Miss Margaret Woodruff's dress was
OF soft white Liberty chiffon, the entire
dress, skirt and low waist mass of
daintiest tiny puffs, while a large white
satin lily at one shoulder was not fairer
than the face it caressed. The dress
was vastly becoming, the soft folds
cGnging to the girlish form as though
they loved their abiding place.
But the bride, with herpretty flushed
checks and the light of happiness in
her eyes but half hidden under the
masses of tulle, in her elegantly simple
co fin rro1u,, ,rrit h par+bo IF ,,oroe+ 1ooo
was the one perfect touch of high light
needed to complete the picture. She
was sweet bride, a tender, womanly
bride, withal an old fashioned one; with
her bright smile and word for all, her
gentleness and sympathetic gracious
ness, there has rarely been so young a
girl with such number of real friends.
We give her up reluctantly, but with
a feeling of pleasure that Knoxville
will have such worthy representative
in far-away Iowa.
The bridal table was covered with a
snowy damask cloth, and here and there
lace doylies. Numberless candles, in
lsilver candelabra, flung their white
lights cheerily over the immense bowl
| OF white chrysanthemums, or cleaned
fairy-like through the filmy meshes of
the white tulle suspended from the
chandelier and fastened at each corner
of the table with single large chrys-
anthemum.
The presents received by this for
tunate young couple were beautiful and
numerous. The brides veil was fast
ened by the exquisite diamond sun
burst, the gift of the groom, while on
one large table among the presents was
the case containing the complete set of
heavy silver, the remembrance from
Capt, and Mrs. Woodruff. Near by
were two attractive pictures of the
charming home in Davenport, just COM
| pleted, the gift from the groom's par
ents. The table of curios, statuettes,
| odd bric-a-brac, was especially beauti-
| fdl and interesting, and many express
lions of wonder and admiration We're
beard at the collection. An especially
Inpticeable present. was the handsome
willow silk table cloth, hand embroid-
efed in designs of cranes, the product
OF Liberty's shops in Paris. A.

To Harness the Ocean.

1t has been matter Of observation
these many years that the ocean could
DO any amount of work if only har-
ness could be devised that it would
work in. The tides rise and fall, but
it is only IN rare cases that tide water
turns wheel The waves are never
at rest. and motion is force, but the
motion OF the waves is rarely put to
harder work than blowing a horn Or
ringing a bell on buoy. At this
time. when the state of business tavors
all sorts of new industrial ventures, it
IS interesting to notice the appearance
Of two schemes for making the ocean
furnish power for use ashore. One IS
an invention patented on January 81 :,
which asplres to turn the tides to ac-
count IS power for driving water
wheels, running electric motors. and
making compressed air. 1t calls tor
an inlet or pond which the tide shall
fill, and in which the water shall be
retained by dam. A big float, with
a series of reservoirs on it, supported
by frame work, is part of its appa-
ratus, and the general idea is to fill
the floating reservoirs from the pond
at low tide, and get power as long as
the tide continues to ebb from the
waters thus stored. The other scheme
for the utilization of wave-motion pro
vides for collection of buoys
anchored off shore, which are to com
press air which is to be stored in a
reservoir and used to run engines.
Some large buoys are making now fol
use IN testing this plan, and it is an
| nounced that the device is to have an
elaborate trial next summer on the
south shore Of Long Island. Both o
| these schemes are said to have enough
/ capital behind them to make thor
ough test of their possibilities. -Har

Farm life may often he made moro
attractive by the use Of taste in the
growing Of flowers and shrubs around
the house. When we went out of
town upon our farm d few years ago
we set ont a purple clamatis. AS we
intended to make some changes ia the
house, We at first gave the plant q
place III the yard, putting up ladder
for It's support. The shrub bios
somed the very first year, and how
beautiful it was When we had fin
ished the changes in the house, we
took the clematls up and set it out at
the side of the porch, with wire net
ting to climb upon; there it has since
grown. Every year it has blossomed
profusely. l dc:not think there was
another plant Of the kind for miles
around. People passing by would
stop to admire the beautiful thing and
ask what it was. In short time
number of such plants were intro
duced in the neighborhcod, so that
now many homes are made more at
tractlve by its lovely blossoms.
Nothing adds more to the beauty Of
lawn in summer than a few growing
plants. They do not require great
deal Of time, but they return tenfold
for all labor expended on them. They
| speak volumes for the taste and good
ness of heart Of those who rear them.
We have all passed by many places
where the only ornament about tho
| house was long row Of weeds or un-
slightly bushes along the dooryard
| fence, sure refuge for worms and in
sects of various kinds. Why not cut
these ont and put In their stead few
| flowers? We must learn to do all we
| can to make the home attractive if we
would keep our boys and girls on tho
farm, and flowers will go good WAYS
toward doing this For the money
and time expended upon them, moth
ing will return greater reward than
flowers. E. l.. Vincent, in the Epit-
| omist.

CHARACTER OF THE TACALES,
Not Incapable of Adopting Our Modern
Civilization.

A writer in the Neuesten Eachrich-
ten, Munich, describes the Tagales,
the dominant race In the Philippines,
III the main as follows:
They are not incapable of adopting
civilization III the modern sense, az
they are very mixed race The ad-
mixture of Chinese blood has produced
me3tizos whose father was white is
also very large, and it is these descend
ants of the Spaniards who fight the
battle of freedom. Nor are the iagales
themselves without civilization. They
have shown much natural strength,
have advanced from their original
home in central Luzon to every part
of the Philippines and assimilated
many Malay tribes. Two enemies
they have, which are more dangerous
than either the Spaniard or the Ameri
cans. They are indolent and their
morals are lax. The Spaniards have
done much to civilize them, but to
this day many return to the life of
hunter after some years residence IN
towns and villages. They were,
nevertheless, in a pretty advanced
state Of civilization when the Span
iards came This is easy to see in the
Igorrotos, kindred race, which re-
mains heather to this day. The
lgorrotos live IN fne villages Of we'll
built houses, and their agricultural
system is really worthy of admiration.
The Tagales themselves are ardent
Catholics, but they retain many
heather customs. Their highest aim
is to get a son into the church, but
they do not observe celibacy very
strictly. Many Of the mestizos,
Chinese as well as white, are wealthy
men, and as these lead in the move
ment for independence, it will be diff
ticult to conquer the islands.

Evil OF Imperfect Milking.

Cows that are impectly MIXED from

perfect milking from the fault Of the

that which is held by the small pouches
or milk-vesicles high up in the bag,
and will form a curd which will excite
inflammation and destroy the secret
