Gifts That Are oAppreciated.

Gift-making was the subject under dis
cussion as the quartette sat eating ice
cream at the close of a luncheon in the
coy club-room and the youngest woman
in the group asked: why is it that when
woman is thoughtful enough to remem-
Der her relatives or friends with q gift
on some special occasion that she does
not exert herself little more and try
and set something that she thinks will
please, or, at least, not give the same
thing every time and to everybody. I
have in mind one woman whose gift
hobby is spoons. Every one who gets a
present from her gets spoons and some OF
her favorite relatives could about set up
a spoon shop. Another runs to pocket
books-very nice things to have, but a
change is agreeable occasionally-and a
third dotes on a certain make OF cologne,
so all her souvenirs take this form. OF
course. there are some things, fine lace.
for example, that one can never get too
much of, but I like variety in my presents
and I guess most other women do, too. 1t
means extra trouble to look for something
special when making a gift, but II think
it's worth it. for I know | like to feel
that no matter how small the gift it was
chosen with particular reference to my
preferences and under such circum-
stances one is inclined to believe that it
is almost4as blessed to receive as to give.

Across the Atlantic Ia Small Boat-A
hionth On the Ocean.

A few weeks ago we announced that
Captain William Andrews, who has made.
himself famous by several voyages across
the Atlantic in small boat, Intended
starting soon on another adventure of the
kind. On this occasion he was to be mar
rfed Immediately before setting sail, and
to spend the honeymoon on the ocean.
# all has gone we'll Captain and Mrs.
Andrews will now be on their adventurous
voyage They We're married a fortnight
ago The bride is Miss a. NJ. Sothran.
The boat in which the bridal pair are
at sea is only II feet long, scarcely larger
than an ordinary 1'owboat. The bow and
stern are rooted over for a distance OF
two and a. half feet. thus forming two
diminutive cock-pits. a series OF lock-
ers are besides arranged along the sides
fog storing water and provisions for the
voyage. The cabin or shelter OF the lit
s tie craft is but two feet in width. and
runs practically the entire length OH the
boat.
It would be difficult to conceive more
curious bridal chamber than the one pro-
yided by Captain Andrews for his bride:
THE forward cabin is reserved for her
use. The entire length of this little shell
ter is but nine feet, and the Captain has
calamity allowed five feet of this @yalu-
ai,le space for his brides ca bin, reserying
only -four feet of cabin for himself. The

AFFAIRS IN KING GEORGE.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.


KING GEORGE, Oct r. Rev. J. II.
Amiss. presiding elder of Rappahannock
District, left to-day for Montross to hold
his next quarterly conference. He held
his last quarterly meeting on KING
George circuit OF this conference year
last Saturday and Sunday at TRINITY
Church. There was a good attendance
of the official body. The collections OF
the year We're fairly UP to the stahdato
of this season, as was also the pastor
salary. On Sunday Mr.. A1niss preached
2, fine sermon to a large congregation at
II A. NJ, and administered the holy com
munion. after which three persons united
with the Church.
At night he again preached to a very
large congregation that quite filed the
commodious church. Prof Oden, oilnd
music teacher from Fredericksburg, mas
a hourishing singing school at Trin1ty
Church, and also at three other Churches
in King George.
The heavy frosts of the past week
have set the farmers busly to
work gathering apples and winter pears
The crop has greatly diminished in the
past few weeks on account of high winds
and heavy rains, but the quality OF the
fruit is very fine. Many farmers have
ground large quantities OF cider from ap-
pies that were not salable or IN a con-.
dition to pack.
All game is very plentiful, and the
huntsmen are having fine sport. The
large quantities of sora that filed the
marshes along the Rappahannock and
Potomac Rivers all disappeared after the
frost Friday night.
The sora season has been unusually
short, much to the disappointment of
those who enjoy hunting those fat little
birds.
Politics are running quite high. and
much interest is being evnced in the
elections so soon to take place. All eyes
are on the Constitutional Convention, and
our neighbors in black are watching
the proceedings with deepest interest.
Many of them are turning away from
their lifelong Democratic friends and
alIying themselves to the Republicans. A
crisis is. it seems. about TO be reached
in our politics never known before The
leaders of both parties are very active.
