THE HANDS IN WINTER.
1t Requires Considerable Care and
Some Work to Keep Them in
PresentabIe Condition.

Cold weather and the ashes of fires
are especially irritating to the hands
in winter, and special care must be
taken of them by those who do kitchen
work. A soft hand brush and mild
soap must be kept conveniently in the
kitchen. After handling ashes or ex-
posing the hands to alkali soap suds,
such as are used in general scrubbing
or dish washing, they should carefully
be washed in warm water and thorough
1y dried. Where it is necessary to use
some lotion to heal the hands that
show signs of irritation a preparation of
glycerin, rosewater and citric acid
usually is successful. The proportion
to be observed is two parts glycerin,
two parts rosewater and one part citric
acid. The citric acid counteracts the
effects of the alkai in the ordinary soap
suds or in ashes, and the glycerin and
rosewater assist in healing. Two parts
lemon juice may be substituted for the
citric acid, or even sharp vinegar may
be used A preparation of common
vinegar and cream or milk in equal
parts may be used to counteract the
effect of ashes or any irritating alkali
soap suds, but this has little healing
principle, and therefore must not be
depended on to heal hands badly
chapped.-N. Y. Tribune.

corn when they could for their horses.
''As the weeks went by, however, no
relief came, and more than half of the
finest artillery horses that ever
dragged gun died of starvation. That
| is simple sentence, but no old artil-
| leryman will read it without heavy
| weight on his heart. The boys loved
| their horses, and if they could have fed
them by denying themselves food they
would have done so. When we were on
half rations l have seen poor fellows
slip off and divide their short supply of
hard tack or potatoes with the horses.
1 have known men to go secretly
through the lines and risk capture to
get an armful of grass or hay to save a
starving horse. Nothing distressed the
men more than to see the great, strong
animals go down slowly to living skel-
etons and then to death.
"This went on until in two months we
had not in that whole command enough
artillery horses on their legs to handle
three full batteries. Some of the bat
teries stationed on Moccasin point. Jared
| better, and the horses of the seven field
batteries kept on the line in front were
better cared for, but even these were so
emaciated they were almost useless.
When it became necessary, on the 23d
of November, to put the batteries of the
army of the Cumberland in position,
Gen. Thomas was compelled to borrow
horses of Sherman. The first month
of our experience in Chattanooga told
heavily enough on the men, but if they
could have kept the suffering, starving
horses out of mind the burden would
have seemed lighter.
"Many of the artillerymen were, of
course, on duty in the Notifications,
handling heavier guns as well as some
| of the lighter ones that had been put
in position, but to most of the boys the
starving horses were always before
them as a nightmare. Certainly no
more pathetic scene was ever witnessed
on a battlefield than we witnessed
in the camp at Chattanooga between
| the battle of Chiclamauga and that of
Missionary Ridge. We saved one of our
best horses by the hardest work. We
fed him all sorts of things, and if a man
could manage to steal an ear of corn
the old horse was made glad
During the battle of Missionary
Ridge we lost sight of the horse, and the
boys insisted that he had been toled off
to the boneyard, but we found that one
of our men who was on the sick list had
stood by the old horse. He got him
across the river, located near some of
the supply trains, and by the time we
were again in quarters the old horse
was in pretty fair condition. He was
from that time the mascot of the bat
terry, and he was the property of one of
the battery boys for several years after
the war."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

out the country. Some admirer of the
patriotic woman sleeping beneath has
placed little flag, ornamented with
the harp of her country, over the dis
appearing mound, and with that ex-
ception there was nothing else, short
time ago at least, except the little
granite stone on which the number of
the lot is carved, to indicate who sleeps
beneath.
1t is believed that the movement now
on foot will in good time result in
having the bones of Fanny Parnell
transferred to Glasnevin. Then it
could be sung of her, as Moore did of
Sarah Curren, Robert Emmett's be-

OF make her grave where the sunbeams

Where they promise a glorious morrow,
They shall smile DER her sleep like ray

CINDERELLA PARTIES.
Something Comparatively New In the
Way OF "A Fashion able Even
Ing Entertainment.

London society has been amusing
itself with Cinderella parties, and it is
said functions of similar character
have taken place recently at some pri-
vate houses in New York. The Gin
derella party is not the usually accept
ed variety by that name where the
guests are bound to say "Good night"
just at the stroke of midnight. That
sort of entertainment has proved itself
almost impossible except among the
youngest set, for where guests do not
arrive until the unholy hour of II or
thereabout it is hard to have castiron
rule concerning their departure.
This Cinderella party owes it's name
to the chief source of amusement
namely, the wooden shoe which is fur
nished by the Oriental store, and which
in its primitive condition is used by the
eastern woman in going to her bath.
The shoe is sometimes highly orna-
mented with painting, gliding, ETC., and
the trick is to find foot that will ex-
actly fit its rather unusual proper
tions.
The masculine sex is not debarred
from this form of entertainment, as
the committee of arbitration and final
court of appeal are formed of the male
members of the entertainment, and on
them devolves the tremendous task of
deciding when fair ones disagree. The
wooden shoe, so familiar to frequent
ers of oriental bric-a-brac shops, is mar
row and quite long, and the foot on
which it is tried must not protrude an
inflnitesimal portion of an inch over
the edge. Opportunities for dainty
foot gear, for limitless discussions and
coquettish attitudes are immune rable,
and are usually made the most of. On
the hostess devolves the pleasure of
providing a suitable gift for the for
tunate possessor of the prize foot and
the fortunate Cinderella gives the shoe
as a souvenir to some member of the
committee.
There has always been charm about
the story of Cinderella which no
amount of matured intellect is able to
destroy. The prince and the slipper
have formed the basis of many girlish
dream, and society, always amiable to
pretty foibles, has taken this fact into
consideration, apparently, in providing
the latest form of entertainment for its
votaries-N. Y. Herald.

FANNY PARNELL'S GRAVE.
Patriotic Womnn's Remains
Removed to Ireland.

Fanny Parnell, the unselfish, poetic
and self-sacrificing sister of one of
Ireland's greatest leaders in this CEN
tury, lies in an unmarked and neglected
grave in peaceful and historic Mount
Auburn, at Cambridge, Mass. Atten-
tion to this fact, so shameful to the
race for which she and her brother
laid down their lives, has recently been
drawn, an movement has been set
on foot by certain patriotic Irishwom-
en- to either build a monument over
her resting place or have her remains
transported to Dublin and laid by the
side of Charles Stewart Parnell, in
beautiful Glasnevin cemetery.
The grave of the young Irish heroine
is situated at the base of large mound,
on which stands a tower, within which
an ascent can be made to height of 200
feet, and from the top of which. view
can be had not only of the surrounding
country, but for miles out on the At
lantic. AS has been said, the resting
place of Fanny Parnell is unmarked,
a fact which is a disgrace and lasting
reproach to the Irish people of Boston
and to the followers of Parnell through

The Passing of Artillery Horses
After the Battle of Chick
nmnugn.

"The army of the Cumberland re-
tired from Rossville on the night of
September 21, and marched down into
the narrow quarters that were to be
its home for two months. The con-
federate army pressed close in front
and on both fianks, so that it was soon
impossible to get forage for the horses
and mules, and almost impossible to get
provisions for the men. When it came
to choice of feeding mules for the
wagons or the artillery horses, the pref
erence was given to the mules. At
first this did not trouble the men.
They thought that that condition of af-
fairs could not continue many days,
and they made frolic of gath ering all
sorts of grass and roots and Etealing

they cannot be kept fresh for several
seasons if they are worn more than
three months at time.
An exceedingly pretty ribbon collar
cite and one that is at the same time
Inexpensive, can be gotten up at home
with very little trouble. The affair will
not cost more than three dollars, to
place the highest figure upon it, which
is very cheap when one stops to con-
slider the prices asked for those ready
made at the stores.
Six yards of ribbon and two yards
of netting are all that need be pur.
chased. The foundation band. OF
course, is the first step towards the
making of the collarette. After this
is cut to fit the neck. a few extra
inches being allowed since it fastens
over the coat collar, thick ruffle of the
net is sewed on. Then the ribbon is cut
in separate pieces, doubled and sewed
upon the baud. The top of the ribbon
is box-plaited, so that the ends ruffit
out over the frilling of net, and in this
manner most beautiful effect is OBJ
tanned.
The ribbon in the case is of gros grain
silk, white and black striped, and costs
40 cents yard. The net is also of black
silk and can be bought for 80 cents
Two yards are all that is required.

HOBSON'S GRANDMOTHER.
An Incident of the Civil War Which
Shows the HobsOn Fam
lily Spirit.

By the daring feat of Lieut.. Hobson,
1 am reminded of an incident in my own
experience a few days after the sur
render of Gen. Lee at AppomattoX,
nothing thrilling as to myself, but il
Illustrative of the grit that seems to
have descended in full measure to the
young lieutenant, whose name is now
in everybody's mouth.
l was passing homeward, accom-
panied by my friend and comrade, Bob
Leak, in the wake of Stoneman's raid.
The people of Rowan and Davis knew
what that raid was. So vague and un-
certain were the reports touching
Lees surrender that had preceded us,
Bob and 1 were the subjects of sus-
picion as we rode through the town
of Mocksville in the late afternoon of a
day of wearisome travel.
In the absence of a proffer of hos
pitality on the part of anyone, we ac-
costed gentleman on the street corner
for information and direction as to
where we might lodge ourselves and
horses for the night. Evidently any
where farther on" seemed to suit the
mans purpose, if not our own, but he
suggested incidentally that six miles
below there Mrs. Ann Hobson lived,
who, by the way, was great friend to
confederate soldiers.
With the latter specification wildly
impressed upon our minds, we rode
just at evening twilight boldly into the
spacious grove that fronted the beau
tifully embowered mansion as a back
ground.
''See, Bob, they're coming to meet
and welcome us" said, as movement
from the house to the yard gate struck
our anxious vision. That movement, as
recall, consisted of an old lady, one or
perhaps two younger ladies, several
children and lot of darkies of various
sizes. intensely high-wrought excite
ment sat upon each face in that group
at the gate, which by mo- means was dis

we rode up.

Few hostesses understand the art of
pouring tea and coffee, simple as it ap-
pears, AS rule, the guest of honor is
offered the first cup, which is the
weakest, and the children if served at
all, are given the last and strongest.
When it is desired to have all the cups
of uniform strength one should pour
little into each, and then begin over
again, reversing the order. In England
this is so well understood that a
pourer of tea or coffee does not begin
to replenish the cups till all are be-
fore her.
