FASHIONS FOR NEXT WINTER.

1t is a Little early as yet to speak
definitely of the styles for next winter,
but there have been one or two gowns
sent over in advance to show what is
to be tried upon the public. Among
these gowns there have been one or
two tea gowns. One in black satin
is a superb costume, but rather on the
lines of one that was brought over
some few years ago that did not make
a success. 1t is of black satin, tight
fitting until directly in front, where it
hangs straight from the shoulder to
the hem, and then opens to show an
under-petticoat and tight-ftting waist.
The petticOat and waist are of pink
satin, completely covered with rows of
black satin gown-the outside gown
there is an embroidery done by hand
in shaded pink roses, the fronts being
lined with pink satin. There is a
collar quite high at the back, with the
roses going around it, and the elbow
sleeves are finished with band Of the
roses and deep ruff1es of white lace, to
match that on the petticoat There is
nothing particularly new about the
shape of the gown, the novelty being
in the embroidery, which is most ex-
quisitely done by hand Hand-em-
broidery on costumes was seen last
winter. It has been used in Paris this
summer, and may or may not be fash
ionable over here next year. It will
never be generally worn, for it is most
expensive when it is done with the
care that is exhibited in the gown just
described. Harper Bazaar

INSANITY IN GEORGIA.

letter received at the Ordinary's
office from Superintendent T. o. Pow
ell, of the State Sanitarium at Mil
ledgeville, refers to the resolutions
adopted by the trustees of the SAM
tarium calling the attention of the
couny authorities to the crowd
eu condition of the institution
and requiring them to await
notice of acceptance before for
warding insane persons TO the asy-
lum. The resolutions state that as
the institution is now being taxed to
it's utmost to provide room for the
many applicants and is being so over
crowded that patients can only be re-
ceived as vacancies occur, and that the
acute, curableand dangerous cases shall
have precedence and be received in the
order of their application and condi-
ton, and at the discretion of the super
fntendent. The action of the trustees
of the sanitarium shows that the in
crease in insanity, to which attention
has been frequently called in recent
years, is an alarming fact and no idle
supposition. Chatham county probably
sends as many lunatics to the asylum
as any county in the state. Hardly
week passes without one or more ar
rests for insanity, and, taking the year
through, the arrest for this cause will
probably average two week. The
majority Of the lunatics are negroes
and mostly of the harmless class.-Sa-

PENCIL AND PAPER.
They Form a Child's Truest Form Of
Every Day Diversion.

Some pads, a box of crayOns, fools
cap paper and old picture books which
are not too good to be embellished by
childish artists, and liberty to draw
anything the children please will as
sist little people in their indoor hours
The use of such tools teaches a child
nicely and development. In Mrs.
Louise Hogan's interesting volume, "a
Study of Child" one observes how
progressive in the case of the little
one there described was the skill used
in using paper and pencil. Many
mothers are too occupied with other
things to keep a record of their chill
dren's early artistic efforts, and not
every little one who uses pencil and
paper is destined in after life to be-
come a great painter or artist, but the
ability to draw, to sketch, to show
what one sees With the eye 10y the
work of the trained fingers, adds dis
tinct joy to life.
Children need a great deal of variety.
By simply keeping them happy and
busy they are often saved from fits of
temper and crossness which leave them
exhausted and. precipftate endless con-
troversies. For the tempests in the
nursery, which sometimes raise havoc
there, the mother and the teacher and
sometimes the nurse are responsible
rather than the little ones, who are so
responsive to gentleness and SO willing
to be good if only they are happy.
There is a great deal of difference, of
course in the innate ability of children
to employ themselves. One small per-
SON finds engagements and occupations
for himself, and rarely comes with the
battling question what shall we do
now?" Another is dependent on the
suggestions of those about him. There
are children who even in the nursery
show that they are born to rule, while
there are others who are born to fol-
low.
The withdrawal of an amusement
when it ceases to be interesting is de-

VIRGINIA KISSING SOUP PARTIES.

A novel custom, started in the days
of the Civil War, prevails in the east
ern part of West Virginia At Shep-
herdstOwn they have a picnic called
Soups" Each person invited brings
dressed chicken, the host providing
the vegetables. Poultry and vegeta-
bles are placed in large kettles holding
from 10 to 20 gallons, and the combi-
nation is cooked over open fires for
several hours or until it is reduced al
most to a jelly. Pepper and other
sasonings are introduced. The girls
and young fellows stir the soup with
lOng-handled iron spoons, keeping up
a march or walk around the kettles as
they do so. When girls spoon clicks
against the spoon of young man, he
is at liberty to kiss her. OF course
there are many lively skirmishes and a
great deal of fun in the game. When
the soup is done it is ladled out in
plates and eaten. It is said to be de-
Hcious. The custom owes it's origin
to a company of Stonewan Jackson's
men who were recruited in that part OF
the state. These ex-Confeds keep UP
their organization. They have a reun-
ion once year, at which they celebrate
with a grand Soup" 1t is said that

berries; and peel, core and slice the
same amount of apples. Add the rind
of and juice of one lemon. Put all in
an enameled stewpan, with six ounces
of loaf sugar and about a quarter of a
teacupful, or little more of water.
Cook gently till quite soft, probably
about fifteen minutes. Then rub all
through a fine sieve. See that the
pulp is sweet enough. Then thin it
down to the consistency of thick cream
with some thick boiled custard. Pour
into a glass dish. Just before serving

vanilla. Heap this roughly all over the

REWARDS FOR THE WINNERS.
How Famous Generals Have Been Paid
For Victories.

Lord Kitchner's grant of something
over $150,000 for his services to the
British Empire in taking Khartum was
a modest present compared with some
others which grateful nations have be-
slowed upon successful generals. The
American government gave to Lafay-
cite 100000 and township of land for
his services in our revolution.
OF all successful generals, however,
the Duke of Marlborough and the Duke
of Wellington received the richest re-
wards. Besides their dukedoms, to
them were given large annuities for
themselves and their heirs and great
sums of money. Marlborough received
the royal manor of Woodstock, where
the great palace of Blenheim was built
for him. Then to him was granted for
himself and his heirs forever pension
Of $4,000 a year. That $4,000 in the
days of Marlborough was equal to at
least 100000 now. The Dukes of
Marlborough drew this pension UP to
as late as 1883, when it was COMMITTED
for lump sum. Wellington, besides
his dukedom, received grants in cash
amounting to So, 100000 and an annuity
of $4,000. To Lord Napier of Mag
dala, for his success in the Abyssinian
expedition, was granted an annuity of
$4,000 for himself and his successor in
the Ashanti expedition received a grant
of $125,000, and for his Egyptian cam
paigns he was made Lord Wolseley.
General Roberts Little Bobs"-for
his Afghan campaign, received $4,000,
and he was made Lord Roberts.
For his services in the revolution the
American government gave to General
(the baron) Steuben an annuity OF
$4,000 year, a large sum in those days
for a yearly income, and the State ot
New York gave him 10000 acres of land
near Utica. Several other states also
gave him large grants of land. Gen
eral Nathaniel Greene, who had nearly
exhausted his private fortune in the
revolution, received large grants OF
land from the eCarolinas and Georgia
A part of this property was Cumber-
land Island, near Savannah, where he
was building his new home of Dungen-
ess when he died, leaving his estate
much embarrassed. Dungeness now is
owned by Mrs. Lucie Carnegie, sister
| in-1aw of Andrew Carnegie. Many
revolutionary officers after the war re-
ceived state grants of land, and state
grants we're given to many officers who
served in the colonial wars. Among
those who received grants of land for
services in King Philips war was
Major Eleazer Ham1in, an ancestor OF
| Hannibal Hamlin, to whom was given
slice of what is now the State OF
Maine.-New York Press.

VALUE OF TITLES ON CONTINENT

We exaggerate very much the power
of title on the continent. In Italy
every son of a prince is again a prince,
no matter if there are ten sons. This
has a great effect on the diluting of
titles; it is a watering of the stock, as
they say in railroad parlance. We
especially overrate the effect of French
titles. Any body can call himself a
count in France. A certain Jew in
Paris named himself from his province.
We will say his town was Liege, his
name Chabot He called himself
Count Chabot de Liege, which sounds

WOlMANKIND.

When a woman says she doesn't be-
lieve in love it is an evidence that she
once believed in it too much. The
golf skirts the women are prepar-
ing for fall are rainy-day skirts under
a new name. No one plays golf in At
Gibson, but we must have short golf
skirts, and will therefore wear them
on rainy days. The women would wear
low-necked party dresses to go wading
in if no other opportunity offered for
wearing them. Why does
woman rub her face with
"shamkny" skin and get the
ghost look? A young man is compli-
mented when girl shows jealousy,
but an older man gets scared. We Oft
en- wonder if the average preacher
saves any more souls in his career than
the chaperon. Some of the plaid skirts
the girls are wearing look like their
mothers shaWls pinned around them.
An Atchison woman had a husband
and house to care for, and her duties
kept her mind occupied and she was al
ways we'll. Her husband died, left her
some money, and it has had the effect
of cutting a boat loose and letting it
drift; she wanders around from point
to point, is dissatisfied, and, having
great deal of time to think about her
self, is sick half the time as a result.
This has happened in so many cases in
Atchison as to create the belief that
woman is happiest when she has some
one to grumble about the three meals
a day.-Atchison Globe.

gobelink is a picture made by letting a
single drop of ink fall upon a sheet of
paper and then folding over the paper;
the ink runs in very droll shapes and
forms, about which the mother may
easily weave an entertaining story.

EDIBLE BIRDS NESTS.

The nests of the little swift Ca kints
of swallow gathered along the rocky
cliffs with SO much difficulty, and yet in
such quantities on account of the
Chinest demand are formed by a salf-
vary secretion which soon becomes
firm on exposure to the air. 1t is
glutinous white substance with little
red dots. They are clean, the nests be-
ing taken as soon as completed. The
little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is
at last compelled to exc out it's waning
supply of secretion with little sticks
and grass, and is thus enabled to lay its
eggs and hatch it's young, as only nests
free from foreign material are mer-
charitable. Se1f-Culture.
What Ella Wheeler Wilcox SAYS:
Mothers, talk to your daughters;
teachers, talk to your children upon
this important theme-the rights of the
dependent to- our consideration and
care. Before you teach your little
girls music or dancing or snowy ac-
complishments, teach them that it IS
ignoble and vulgar to dock horses, to-
cage wild birds or animals, whom
God intended for freedom; to shoot
any live thing for sport, or to neglecA
any creature dependent on us. Do not
be satisfied with saying this once-say
it every day of the year in some way
or manner, and illustrate it until the
child shall know and feel the truth of
it. For only in this way-and not by
resolutions can the world be bettered"
