Charming Use of Postal Cards.

A novel example of the great many so- cial uses to which postal cards are put in Europe has been received by Henry Pe- terson of Birmingham. Upon the non-ad- dress side of this ''postecarte" from the Fatherland Is a most artistic photograph of handsome young man. MT. Peter sons cousin, together with the young mans bride, at the seashore of far-famed Cuxhaven, two hours and a half from Hamburg the home of this bridal couple of Germany.
 The photograph, which is truly excel lent, represents the bridegroom and his bride standing by an upturned rowboat. She wears a sort of watching costume and is very beautiful. He wears a yachting costume with the familiar white flannel cap. which the German Emperor first made popular throughout Europe and America. In the background is the break water of Cuxhaven, familiar to thousands of American travellers in Germany.
 Under this admirable and suggestive picture is the German greeting, Be loved" and it is addressed to Heinrich and Henrietta"-Mr. and Mrs. Peterson and in German the bridal couple say "In our joy here by the sea we send loving greetings to thee.'
 It is as pretty little thing as the pho- tographer's art could make, because 1t is nature in art. All over Europe, outside of Russia in Europe, the postal card is uni versally used for social greetings. It may bear a single word, or a letter-often in private cipher. One charming custom is ix. sY, ,ata lures, by means of postal cards, one card being sent each day bearing scene or sentence in the story until the whole story be told, running sometimes through ten or fifteen days. It is a little surpris- ing that we emotional Americans have not caught on' to this pleasing custom. George Washington's Summer Home.
 Everybody knows of Mt Vernon, where George Washington lived and where he died and was buried. but com paratively few persons are familiar with the history of Harewood, in Jefferson County, w. Va, Washington's summer home," said Virginian in the lobby.
 "Harewood is magnificent old colonial estate. and around 1t cling many charm ing memories, not only of Washington, but of other illustrious Virginians. The , Washington Manor Association for the Purchase and Preservation of Historic Harewood' has issued a beautiful pam phlet containing a sketch of the grand old place, together with illustrations of the house, groves and drives. It was at Harewood that James Madison was mar ried to Mrs. Todd Dolly Payne). It is stated that at the wedding the young women present, in their eagerness to have mementoes of the event, cut bits of mech- lin lace from MT. Madison's shirt ruffies.
 'Harewood was first in Orange County, va, then Spotsylvania, Frederick, Berke- ly and Jefferson. as the counties were made smaller. Grover Cleveland is the president of the association formed for the purpose of purchasing and preserving Harewood and has made a most liberal contribution to its treasury. Admiral Dewey and other distinguished persons are taking an active interest in the asso- citation"

Accident to Hon. Henry B. Gray.

Hon. Henry B. Gray, county treasurer of Jefferson, and president of the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust Company of Bir- mngham. is confined to his South High lands residence with an injured knee, and he is likely to be kept indoors for possi- bly, many days. The accident occurred to MT. Gray week ago. since when he has been confined to his house.
 About fifteen months ago MT. Gray suf- fered from a sprained ankle, which kept him confined to his house several weeks. It seems especially hard that he should now suffer from similar affliction in his knee. MT. Gray being very busy man of great energy, his enforced confinement at home Is very trying upon him, and he will receive the cordial sympathy of all the people of Birmingham and Jefferson. for they have manifested in the ballot their high esteem for him.
