BY ISABEL M. ASHTON
Copyright, 1901, by 7. G. Mcclure

Out on the wide veranda of Wash
ington Manor an Italian orchestra was
playing Hungarian air Within the
great white pillared house on the
heights the annual reception of the
Daughters of the Perpetual Evolution
was being held in strict accordance
with the traditions of an impressive
and patriotic order. Fifty youths In
bun and blue uniforms We're Fastening
about over the wide lawn with no ap-
parent object other than to show their
powdered hair in the clear light of
day. On the steps were standing some
of the Washingtonian guards, all I'M
conscious of the fact that their uni
forms were modelled after the garb of
British officers in the reign of George
III.
Taken all in all, it was day of tri-
umph for Mrs. James Henry Melton,
She had always longed for ancestors,
and now that she had established the
fact that she had a revolutionary one
her cup of joy was filed to overflow
ing. The house in which she lived had
belonged to an old American family
which had long ago lapsed into hope
less bankruptcy.
The way of Mrs. Melton to prefer
ment as the descendant of revolution
airy stock had been the road of the
rough. She had at first applied to the
Daughters of the Real Convolution,
who required that all candidates for
admission must be descended in the
male line from an officer who fought in
the war for American independence.
Shall l send in my family records?"
she asked of the secretary of the order.
1T will not be necessary" was the
reply. I'VE have your name. and it
will be so easy to find out all about
you, my dear Mrs Melton"
Mrs. Melton was overcome with
vexation a week later when she re
ceived notification from the grand sec
rotary that her application could not
be granted for the reason that her an
cestor. Colonel Bainbridge Tarlton, had
been so unfortunate as to have COM
manded a regiment of Hessians.
On this disappointment the Daugh-
tiers Of the Perpetual Evolution had
been founded and Mrs. James Henry
Melton became the first regent of a
new chapter. Ancestors from the
feminine side of the house were ac-
cepted. She had purchased the old
house on the outskirts of the metropo-
lis, for it was said that General George
Washington had once used it as his
headquarters. 1t was far from COM

POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy. and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make a good food for poul-
try. but If wet up alone it Is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying infiu-
ence- 1t may be applied as often as
once a month to advantage.
The properties of sunfower seed are
peculiar. and small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage of adult
fowls gloss that no other grain will

THE sAVoUR's BLOOD.


. ReIic of the CrucinxfOn Preserved
at Bruges.
Many cities profess to possess as a
relic some of the blood Of Christ, pre-
served from that which flowed from
him during the crucifixion. st. Louis
brought particles to Paris which he
had received from the emperor of Con-
stantinople. The Church of st. John
Lateran, in Rome; the Imperial mon
astery at Weingarten. church in Man
tua and the Chapel of the Precious
Blood, in Bruges. all put forward SINH
lar claims.
The precious blood at Bruges enjoys
the widest fame and is reported to
have been collected from the Saviour's
wounds by Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus when they took down the
body from the cross. 1t was brought
to Bruges by Thierry Of Alsace in 1147.
He had received it from his brother-in-
law, Baldwin. king of Jerusalem.
Nearly six centuries ago the extraor-
binary devotion paid to this relic at
Bruges by the inhabitants and visitors
had induced the ecclesiastical and civil
authorities to institute a solemn pro-
cession In which it should be borne in
the streets.
A confraternity of the precious blood,
consisting of thirty members, with a
provost and four chaplains, was estab-
lished to guard it at all times.
The procession takes place annually,
and the blood, contained in a crystal
cylinder and inclosed in it's shrine, is
carried about with much pomp and
ceremony

Remarkable Reasons For Due1s.
Colonel Montgomery was shot In a
duel about a dog; Colonel Ramsey in
one about a servant; Mr.. Featherstone
in one about recruit; Sterne's father
In one about goose, and another gen.
tleman In one about bottle of an
chovies. One officer was challenged
for merely asking his opponent to pass
him a goblet; another was compelled
to fight about pinch of snuff. Gen
eral Barry was challenged by a Cap
tain Smith for declining wine at din
ner on steamboat, although the gen
eral pleaded as an excuse that wine In
variably made him sick, and Lieuten-
ant Cowther lost his life in duel be-
cause he was refused admittance to
club of pigeon shooters.
In 1777 a duel occurred in New York
between Lieutenant Featherstonehaugh
of the Seventy-ffth and Captain Nc
Pherson of the Forty-second British
regiment In regard to the manner of
eating an ear of corn, one contending
that the eating was from the cob and
the other contending that the grain
should be cut off from the cob before
eating. Lieutenant Featherstonehaugh
lost his right arm, the ball from his an
tagonist's pistol SCATTERING the limb
fearfully, so much so that it had to be
amputated. Major Noah lost his life
in 1927 at the dueling ground at Ho-
boken in a simple dispute about what
was trumps in a game of cards.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

Whether we consider beauty of form
and color, gaminess, food quality or
abundance and size of individuals, diff
ferent members of the salmon group
stand easily with the first among
fishes. The salmonidR are confined to
the northern hemisphere, and north Of
40 degrees they are everywhere abun-
dant where suitable waters are found.
In North America alone not fewer
than sixty-two species and subspecies
are now recognized by ichthyologists.
Some of the species, especially the lar
ger ones, are marine and anadromous,
living and growing in the sea and en-
tering fresh water only to spawn.
Such are the five species Of salmon of
the west coast of America. Still 9TH
ers live In the smaller rivers and run
ming brooks, entering lakes or the sea
as occasion serves, but not habitually
doing So Such are some of the spe-
cies of trout of the genera salmo and
salvelinus. Others, again, are lake
fishes, approaching the shore or enter
ing brooks in the spawning season, at
other times retiring to deeper waters.
OF these are the whitefishes and her
rings of the great lakes and north

At the ancient ceremonies Of corona
hon Of the French kings. after the
amounting had been performed, some
white doves were let loose / n the
church. This was supposed to symbol
lie the power of the Holy Ghost in d.
recting the kings actions. A similar
idea seems to have inspired all early
kings, for among the English regalia
is the rod Of equity or the scepter with
the dove. This is simply a golden rod
with a mound at the top. which sup
ports a cross. On this cross is a dove,
fashioned of white enamel. with ex-
banded wings. Some fine diamonds
ornament the rod in various places.
