Is. 1t is interesting to note that in
the month of June, 1886, sixty-s1x
years ago, Mrs. Norton, then Miss
Anna ]. Allyn, of Bennington, VT, was
visiting with an uncle at Galena. Ill.
She joined an excursion party there
who came up the Mississippi by boat,
stopping on the way at Prairie du
Chen, where Colonel afterwards
General and President Zachary Tay-
lor, was in command of a military
post. Colonel Taylor accompanied
the party to Fort Smelling, where they
landed. ne next evening they gave
reception and dancing party to the
officers stationed there, which proved
to be very enjoyable.
Mrs. Norton is a member of the

INDICTMENT AGAINST SLANG.
San Franciscan Says it Has Spoiled
Many PASSAGES of Poe+rv


Many Passages of Poetry.
The last word in slang has not yet
been said and probably will not be
until the last slang phrase is coined,
and that will not be for q long, long
time. Meanwhile the subject AFFORDS
chance for debate, like punning. 81
had no objection to slang" said
Thomas Chadbourne, of San Francis
co, at the Manhattan, until it began
to ruin certain passages of poetry for
me, and then [ objected seriously. In
its essence, slang is but an expression
OF the sense Of metaphor which is in
herent in us all, and hence allied to
poetry But slang never hits upon a
beautiful metaphor, always an ugly
one, achieving humor too often by
making the sublime ridiculous
There are, probably, no more
beautiful phrases to be found
IN all poetry than these
which relate to the human eyes:
Heine, Tennyson, Rossetti, are full of
such phrases, which you will at once
recall. But l for one, connot read
these beautiful passages now without
having pop into my head that awfully
expressive slang phrase, Goo goo
eyes What poetry can resist such a
suggestion? When my sister read to
her Sunday school class the story of
Lots wife. and one of the small bows
whispered to his fellow Rubber neck,
there was another beautiful story
spoiled forever for him and the rest
by slang. The list might be extended
indefinitely. Macaulay might have
changed a line in the Lays had he
foreseen the song about retiring to the
rear and being seated, for instance.
Indeed, slang has much to answer for"

that it was all over with me, but be

being able at the distance l then was
from the beach to touch bottom, he
gave me such an impetus toward the
shore, that with taking long strides
with him onward through the water
we were soon out of the man-eater's
way.
Had We been obliged to swim the
whole distance there would have been
no help for my comrade or myself, fo1
our comrades on, the edge, shouting
words of cheer and encouragement

coming to share the find of their fel

us.

THE AUTUMN CHECKS,

Checks viii be seen not only in
gowns, but in fall umbrellas and
checked silks will trim fall hats. You
can scarcely carry the check vogue
too far; and the more checks there
are, the more in the style the costume
will be. Very pretty little white silk
handkerchiefs with check borders
come for carrying with the check
gown and the check parasol.
Straps and bands are on the in
crease as trimmings for street gowns.
They are used in many ways and
treated in new methods, one Of which
is by crossing the ends of the straps
and thus making an X-shaped trim
ming. The belt, which matches the
straps, is merely a little strap itself
crossed in the middle Of the front.
Mrs. c. Oliver Iselin, whose fame
as a yachts-woman has spread over
the universe and who has been
Americas cup mascot for so many
contests, has been out yachting this
season in black mohair made with
white straprings and white pipings
and a great deal of white stitching.
| Under the square sailor collar there
! is knotted a sailors tie Of white
taffeta with very long ends that float
down over the neat white canvas belt
put on without buckle but with
ends crossed in the front. Mrs. Iselin
wears the wide brimmed sailor hat
with new smart up-rolling sides and
with a band around the crown and a
pOm-pOm at the side.
There is a very bright way of finish
ing shirtwaists so that they look like
bodices. Get out a piece of your
shirtwaist goods and make frill of
the goods, long enough to go around
the waist and attach it to your blouse
so as to make a bisque ripple. When
| your belt is on this ripple will make
the waist look very much like a

Humane Society Steps In,
The humane society is strange aid
for Cupid, but in the following case
it was not only an aid but was the
salvation of the bride 1t was a
young Italian girl who was most
deeply concerned. Her mother had
sold her to Webster, Pa, barber for
$40 and the barber intended to marry
her, Notwithstanding that Josephine
Josephine Reggeo was her name
was inclined not at all to the barber,
but much to young Italian, who
would have been willing to pay much
more than. $40 if it had been a ques-
ton of currency.
Josephine was employed at the resi-
dence of L. L. Love of Aspinwall, Pa,
as a servant. One night determined
effort was made to kidnap her. The
man in the case was found to be the
barber who had bought her. The
barber failed, but he went to the
humane society with a complaint that
the girl was being Illegally detained
in the Love household, and that he as
her finance demanded her
The humane society officials became
interested and made an investigation.
Then it was learned that the mother
had sold the daughter, and that the
barber was endeavoring to carry
home an unwilling purchase. By
further investigation the society found
the young Italian who was Miss
Josephine's choice and arrangements
were made at once for the wedding.

A CHILLY HONEYMOON.

There is no really sensible way of
going visiting during the honeymoon
except where the people at whose
house the visit is to be made vacate
it in favor of the happy pair and
leave them to enjoy themselves alone
as they please. But not many people
have learned this. One story relating
to the vicissitudes OF the newly
welded illustrates the hospitality of a
Boston family. The wedding took
place in the dead of winter and during
the coolest part Of it. The Boston
family were relatives of the young
couple and were blessed with warm
hearts, much warmer, in fact, than
their guest chamber. This latter was
in one of the upper stories of the
house, and so situated that it was en-
tirely without heat. Not a wave from
the lower stories rose to that height,
through the penetrating east winds OF
the city and everything else cold did
The room had the atmosphere of a
cold-storage chamber, and all night
through the unhappy couple shivered
and shook and found the next morn
ing that there was pressing need of
making trip south. They did start
for a warmer climate Immediately,
only stopping overnight to get a. little
thawed at one of the city hotels.
They really felt that nothing but
stay of some time in the south would
relieve them of the effects of that
awful chill.

BAD FOR THE LIVER.

The mercury goes up today
And fills my heart with sorrow;
And it is solace small to say

In fever Or a-shiver;
The weather, any way it goes,
Plays havoc with his liver.

LAWN GAMES IN ENGLAND.
Comparisons of English and American
Enjoyments of Country Life.

We get nothing like the pleasure
out Of our lawns which the English
do, says Country Life in America.
Where we are at fault is that we dc
not use our lawns to anything like
their full capacity Of enjoyment.
Here and there we use them as the
framing of lawr tennis or crouuuet
courts (Which we make either of dirt
or a.sphalt), and here and there we
mark out upon-t their surface base
ball diamond. Still rarely and only in
limited localities, they are used for
