Women who are giving dinner parties and
things Of that sort would do we'll to think
of the tactfulness displayed by Madam
Washington in the arrangement of her
menus. According to DR.. E. E. Hale in
his lecture yesterday at the Old South,
this remarkable woman had the oysters
in the stew from one State, oysters for her
fancy roast from another and oysters fried
in crumbs from another" And all this in
order that no delegate might be offended be-
cause the oysters were all bought from
enc State. 1t is not any wonder that chron-
iclers OF those times spoke of Washington S
hospitality and Madam Washingtons excel
lent and diplomatic dinners in the same
breath. Together they made perfect
state of things for guests. and no one has
been foolhardy enough to hazard a guess
as to which was the more potent.

A Queer War Incident.

Speaking of these short rushes forward,
a queer thing happened at Guiguinto, where
perhaps half of the soldiers in one regiment
found hens. Before there was time TO kill
the fowl orders came to go forward. A
little farther out the regiment lay down
under fire for some minutes. Then the or
der came to charge. Up and forward with
a yell rushed the soldiers, but over the
cheering rose another sound. Three or four
hundred hens. Directing to being carried
head down with feet tied TO the strap of a
haversack. set up frantic squawking such
as was probably never heard along a line
of charging military before.

The army paper published in New York
comes to partial defense of Secretary
Alger. 1t asserts that, he is accused of no
corruption and that his errors are such as
other men might have made. 1t declares
that he is the victim of a malignant press.
If that authoritative paper had said as
much months ago, it might have been
listened to. In time, however, the public will
see the injustice of such newspaper assaults
and give them no heed.

inevitably form bad habits and

from the street. The best kind of
