PEKIN DOVES.
Musical Cooing That Makes Foreign.
 CTS Wonder.

One of the first things that surprised foreigner in visiting Pekin, says Facts, is the strange sound that seems to emanate from the celebrated musical doves of that city. Overhead on all sides are great fiocks of these birds, and ever as they sweep to and fro the weird music is heard. Compared with the plaintive coo of ordinary pigeons it seems mysterious, and yet 1t is easily explained. To the tail of each bird is fastened an instrument known as the choa the 'choa" signifying pipe and "the" mechanical. The instrument Is composed of several small reeds, and It is so light that the birds flight Is not impeded thereby. It is fastened to the tail. between the two middle feathers. and is kept in place by small stick which passed through the instrument. During the birds rapid flight the air passes through the reeds. causing con- tinuous shrill sounds. It is said that these instruments were invented by a mandarin and that the object is to pro- tect the doves. which are highly prized everywhere in China. from birds of prey. If this be true the object has certainly been attained, since only a bird of great courage would venture to attack a dove capable of making such a noise.

Confederate Reunion Will Begin in
 Memphis This Morning.

Memphis, Tenn, May 27.-The elev- enth annual reunion of the United Con- federate Veterans will be formally opened in this city tomorrow morning. From present indications, the gather ing will be one of the most notable ever held by the organization.
 It is expected that immense crowds will be in attendance, and that fully 1O0. .00O people will be here before the end of the week. The only possible drawback to the success of the reunion will be the weather. which set in to- night with a sharp thunderstorm. which damaged some of the decorations and tore down a few flags and strips of bunting Every possible provision for the comfort and welfare of their guests has been made by the people of Mem phis. An immense tent has been erect ed close to the reunion hall. in which at least 18.000 free meals will be served every day. A spark from passing To- comotive lodged upon 1t so high up

A GOOD WOMAN
Has Gone to Her Heavenly Re-
 ward

Has Gone to Her Heavenly Re-
 Mrs. Elizabeth Crenshaw Brown, wife of MT. Warren D. Brown, died at their home, in this city, about o'clock last evening It has been expected for some days that fatal result would follow from her sickness, yet it will be hard for those who have known and loved her so long to realize that she is no more. She was born in Montgom- erv fifty-seven years ago, and her whole life has been identified with the city and its people. There was no fairer- faced young girl or one who possessed to a greater extent the affection of the entire community. The same beautiful traits of chara cter which attracted friends in her youth remained with her to the last, and it is safe to say that there Is universal regret here, where she was loved and honored by all the people.
 She was happily married about the time of the beginning of the war in 1861. Much of her time and attention was given to work for the sick and wounded soldiers who were brought here, and otfers fer whom supplies of clothing were needed at distant places. Wher the noble women of Montgomery inaugurated the memorial movement, she was among the first to respond. With her beautiful voice and
 fine talent. on many occasions she aided in raising funds for the relief of the distressed and helpless. She was greatly interested in the establishment and continuance of the great charity. The Woman's Home" and from first to last, she was an untiring worker for the City Inf1rmary. In addition to great goodness of heart. she was pos sessed of splendid business qualities. which were recognized by those asso- ciated with her on the Board of Lady Managers of the City Infirmary It was at home and in the midst of friends. however, that her lovely quail ties shone most resplendently. She was veritable sunshine wherever she appeared, and in times of sorrow and distress. her presence was a benedic- tion. Rarely are such qualities of head and heart as she possessed bestowed upon any of Gods creatures. That she used them for the bettering of man. kind and womankind is attested by life of goodness and unsefhshness. There was no wife or mother more af- fectionate and devoted. and no friend more loyal and considerate.

To Take Out Mildew Stains.

New York Evening Sun.
 To remove miidew stain Is sometimes a difficult thing. They are among the most obstinate and will only yield often to such strong measures as are apt to in jure the material. Stretch the stain over a hard, firm surface and rub of as much as you can with a soft. dry rag. Then rub 1t well with salt and lastly with a piece of lemon. The combination of salt and lemon may. do the work. If not, make a thick paste of French chalk and water, apply 1t liberally to the spot and let it dry in the open air. An old-time remedy was to make paste of soft soap. powdered starch, as much salt as starch, and lemon juice to moisten. This was to be applied thickly and left to dry on in the open air.
