FRosTBuRG, Md, Dec. ,, /

Editor FOrHW-DEAR SIR
had made resolution to keep out of all
newspaper cOntroVerSles-in short to keep
out OF print, but an article in your paper of
last week compels me in self-defence to break
it.
You state, in effect, that |, through my at.
tOrneyS, made the proposition to settle nv
suit against the Forum Publishing Co.
But the facts are these:
Tuesday, January 8, last, while in Cum
berland one OF my attorneys informed me
that he and his colleague had received a pro
posal to settle the suit outside of Court The
details OF your company offer Were-that
you would pay all expenses, sign a retractiOn
to be drawn by my attorneys and publish
same prominently in your paper.
| replied that | did not want the COM
pany's money, but good, strong, complete
retracton would satisfy me.
No definite conclusion was reached at that
time, but after coming home and consulting
with my friends, took the advice of those
who thought | should accept your offer, as
that step would show that | was not seeking
any pecuniary consideration for the injury
done me.
Accordingly, | wrote to my attorneys to
settle on the terms proposed by your COM
pany.
| heard no more of the matter until Mon
day evening, January 10, when ! received Il
message from my attorneys calling me to
Cumberland next day with my witnesses, as
your attorneys did not want to sign the draft
OF what my attorneys regarded as a sufficient
retraCtiOn.
Obeyed the call and on that day Jan. II }
after some pickering between counsel, draft
was made by my attorneys and delivered to
yours as our utjmdtIuH
You "tumbled to it, and thus succeeded,
fortunately for you in getting ont of the
trouble with the least possible hurt.
Now, then, you might as well deny that
you agreed to pay the court costs and my
counsel fees; you might as well deny, in fact,
that you printed the retractiOn we wrote for
you, as to deny that the offer to settle also
first originated with and also came from YOU.

MEMORY CHAINS.
Soldiers Buttons Are Now in Grea,
Demand Among the Young
Ladies.

From present Indications the soldiers
will soon be buttonless brigade, for
the brass buttons have caught the femi-
nine fancy, and every young woman
wants a collection of these glittering
trophies.
In the days of our grandmothers each
little girl had long string of buttons
of every description, called memory
string" 1t was the dearest treasure of
the little maid, and she Went over the
Kaleidoscope collection of bone, glass,
steel and pearls, saying: "Auntie gave
me this one, and Cousin Mamie sent me
this" and SO on through the chain,
touching each button as fondly as a nun
telling the beads of her rosary.
Now it is the big girls who get up
memory strings, and they call ther the
souvenir chain" The modern maid,
however, only wants buttons from SOL
diers' uniforms for her memory string.
These bits of brass she first strings on a
long ribbon and then adds an extra bow
of narrow ribbon-red, white and blue
in turns-to each button. Upon this
how is written the givers name and
company, the date, and occasionally a
line that says: Worn in the charge at

MORAL VALUE OF A. QUEEN.
a Good Example in Life for
Her Subjects.

In addition to political there is also
clear moral gain in the fact that the
constitutional throne is filled by wom-
an. 1t cannot be doubted, says the
London Spectator, that the court of a
queen makes more obviously for hui
manity and for morality than does that
of king. AT the present time, it is
true, most of the European monarchs
have singularly good record, and
some of them are clearly on higher
level than the average of their sub
jects. All are humane men, some are
even men of an austere morality, and
the presidents of the two great repub-
lies of the world are embodiments of
the homely virtues which are the bull
warks of national strength. But we
cannot forget that it has not always
been so; nay, that it was not SO but
few years ago; that the world has not
forgotten the orgies of Louis Napoleon
or of the great galantuomo of the house
of Savoy, and it knows that what has
been may easily be again. But it is i'm
possible to-day for the first lady" of
any land not to be force making for
morality; it is impossible for her to be
other than woman of purity of life,
and so an example to the nation. We
pardon Victor Emmanuers amours Cor
at least we overlook them) for the sake
OF his courage and devotion; but no
pardon could or would be extended to
woman on the throne who had lapsed
from virtue or had even given reason
able occasion for the tongue of scandal.
Who will deny that this is a great gain
for the great sovereignty ofa crowned
republic?"

Cream Salad Dressing,

An American cream salad dressing
that is most delicious calls for the
yolks of two hard-boiled eggs worked
to paste, using wooden spoon and
moistenfng with the yolls of an egg
beaten smooth; add at the same time
salt and pepper, then tablespoonful of
melted butter, gill of thick cream and
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. A still
more economical dressing is made by
boiling cup of milk, and into this
stirring two even tablespoonfuls Of
cornstarch that has been wet with d lit
tie milk; let this cook in a double boiler
for IS minutes, when add butter the
size of a walnut and the beaten yollss
of two eggs; cook after the eggs are
in for one minute, take from the fire,

cayenne, and stir in half gill of good

Hot-water bags of rubber are inval-
liable, but few homes boast of more

if set in pan containing little warm
water boiling water may be poured into
them without cracking; and if the
water is allowed to run over the cork

ofleakage. Small bags may be made to
cover these bottles, or in case of sudden

fit closely, and may be pinned together,

BEFORE BELLS.
The Sounds Which Were Made IN
Olden Times to Call the Esyp-
tians to Prayer.

Before the time of bells various in
struments were used to summon con-
gregations to worship. In Egypt they
are said to have followed Jewish Gus
tom in using e trumpet. In some ORR
entail churches a kind of rattle gave
the signal. In monasteries monks
took it in turn to go round the cells
calling the inmates to their devotions
by knocking with hammer, which
was called the awakening instru-
ment." Bells of one kind or another
are, however, of very great antiquity.
having been used in religious cera-
monies by many of the ancient nations
as a means of honoring their gods and
summoning them to the feast. For
example, the feast of Osiris and Isis
was always announced by bells. Pliny
says that bells were in use long be-
fore his time, being called "tin tin
nabula.' The use of small bells (nolae)
in this country, says William of Malmes-
bury, may be traced back as far as
the fifth century, and it is clear from,
Bede that even those of the larger kind

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-03-07

Many new gymnasiums and gymna-
stun classes for women have been
opened this season in our large cities,
and smaller towns are not far behind
in providing opportunities for women
who have become interested in their
bodily development to take up such
practice work.
Women generally go into physical
culture with great enthusiasm, and
well-appointed gymnasiums used by
them are fitted up with parallel and
leaping bars, and rowing and riding
machines, the bicycle school, the rum
ming track, the bowling alley, the
swimming tank and plunge bath are all
provided for the woman who wishes to
become an athlete.
Even the lighter apparatus, clubs
and dumbells, are used of about the
same weight by both sexes. The light
apparatus is thought to give better de
velopment, and is used even by men
who are training for professional ath
letes.
Ball playing in gymnasiums has be-
come quite fad. In old times our
great-grandfather went out modestly
and threw their balls against the side
of house. To-day their great-grand-
sons and Observation-Disclosures are
taught to play ball scientifically, and
have walls carefully erected in gym
nasiums to practice on. "Teams" of
girls trained to play all sorts of ath-
letic games are no longer novelty,
and our granddaughters bid fair to
equal our grandsons in skill and
strength.
An excellent feature in good gym
nasiums is the medical examiner, whose
duty it is to prescribe the proper ex-
ercise to correct physical imperfec-
tons and to improve imperfectly de-
veloped and weak bodies. No violent or
excessive physical exercise should be
undertaken except on the advice of
some one well qualified to understand
the human body, and the best means
to improve and strengthen it in any
given direction. So guarded, women
can find great pleasure and benefit in
the various sorts of physical exercise
now open to them, and women who are
looking for some amusement for the
coming season, as we'll as women whose
health and nerves need bracing, would
be wise to turn their attention to phys
ical culture.-Harper's Bazaar.
