know many of her characteristics.
She is modern girl-well read, smart

who can ride with the hounds, shoot, golf,
and swim, as well as pay calls and drink
pink tea. And yet she is a society belle,

her formal dinner and dance. Not only is
she the well-bred, cultured society girl
OF other cities, but she has that sangfroid
which comes of meeting with the cosno-

and her dignity and poise are worthy OF
a queen-and, no less of her.
And yet, after all. is it not wellnigh
useless to talk of her to you? Like those

Some time ago my daughter caught
a sever cold. She complained of
pains in her chest and had bad cough.
l gave her Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy according to directions and in two
days she was well and able to go to
school. I have used this remedy in
my family for the past seven years and
have never known it to fall" says
James Prendergast, merchant, Annato
Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands. The
pains in the chest indicated an ap-
preaching attack of pneumonia, which
in this instance was undoubtedly
warded off by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t counteracts any ten
dency of a cold toward pneumonia.

for people to call for it when again in
need of such a remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating, when
you have a bad taste in your mouth,
feel bilious, have no appetite or when
troubled with constipation, and you
are certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief which they afford. For

How a Handful of Soldiers Fooled
t. General EARLY.
"Did I ever tell you how clouds Of
dust once saved Washington city from
what many people believe would have
been certain capture at the hands of
the ConfederatesT' asked a member Of
the old Veterans Reserve corps, which
was on duty at Fort Stevens during the
war. .-
1T was when the Army of Northern
Virginia was just outside the Capital
City. You may remember that General
Early, who was in command of this
particular division of the Confederate
forces, in writing to refute statements
published in northern papers to the eff
feet that he could easily have marched
into Washington, said: I knew the de-
lenses were weak when I arrived, but
my troops were SO exhausted from the
enforced march that a halt was abso-
lutely necessary, and the next morning
I knew, by clouds Of dust, that re-en-
forcements had arrived 4 "
"That dust, gentlemen, was raised by
q Lew ncu, uOl oACeeUAlS lUU, Oh TIE
Veteran Reserve corps. The Temporal
ry commander of this company, a stout
man of medium height, whose nametor
rank I did not learn, because he wore
no blouse or insignia, placed the men In
line in the e a of and between Fort
Stevens and Fort Slocum. After max
ing a short speech in which he urged
every man to do his best he directed
US to march down some distance on the
grass past Fort Stevens. Once there
he told us to break ranks and right
about, returning in the middle of the
road and kicking up all the dust we
possibly could.
We doubled on the line, marching
down on the grass and coming back in
the dusty road. It was a dry season.
and we all had on broad soled shoes.
We made the dust fly, I tell you, and
it is no. wonder General Early thought
re-enforcements by the thousands had
come to the relief of the handful on
duty at the forts."-Washington Star.

building in contravention of an ordi-

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position of Carver to the
PRINCIPAL Seat,

From h Position of Carver to the
Principal Seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at a side
table. In Elizabethan times at private
dinners it became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end Of the table, above the
salt, SO the chief guests could see the
joints and secure choice helpings. We
have something Of this kind in the hab-
it which prevails at restaurants Of first
showing the game, poultry, ETC., to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed from the mental posi-
ton Of carver to the occupiers Of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed it an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty of semiprofessional cary
er lies n of the first causes of the
paper frills for legs of mutton, etc, for
it was used in every ease where the op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1858
a grand dame suggested that it would
appear more comely and decent to use
a fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time, too. that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion of seating men and women
alternately, the adoption Of which put
an end to lady carvers Then the au,
thor Of "The Cooks Oracle" suggested
that joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion OF
carving ait the side table.

MansReld's New Play.

Richard Mansheld's new play,
"Ivan the Terrible" may become
one of the historical classics in his
hands, Victor Smith thinks, for
Ivan the Terrible was the Louis Xl.
of Russia, and for him there is as
much to be said as for the cruel
king of France, who united her
fragments and made her great.
Mansfield has gone up long ways
since he was in Gilbert and Sulli-
vans comic opera sixteen or seven
teen years ago, the writer men
toned continues. In the same COM
pany with Mansfield in his comic
opera days was Hattie Delaro, who
married Billy Barnes, the latest
and the most popular man in Har-
ward in the middle of the Sos. He
was president of his class for four
years and grand marshal at the
clasS-day exercises. Billy Barnes
father, Gcneral Barnes, of San
Francisco, and the most prominent
lawyer on the Pacific coast, moved
heaven and earth to break off the
match between Billy and Hattie
Delaro. He cut off Billy's allow
ance in an attempt to starvc him in
to surrender, but Billy's heart was
true to Pol. He went to work for
himself and made a hit at practicing
law in San Francisco. He married
Hattie Delaro and was elected dis
trict attorney of San Francisco
against the opposition of his father.
The match was not a happy one,
and Mrs. Billy Barnes sued for her
rights and for damages.

Novel Irrigation Plant.

Beeville, Texas, April 90
There is being unloaded from the
cars here today the machinery for
an immense irrigation plant to
be put in on the Nueces river in
Live Oak county by DR.. G. F.
Simmons, the we'll known ranch
man. The machinery is some
what unique in many of its fea-
lures, the boiler, engine and pump
being mounted on big broad-tired
wheels, so they can be hauled
from place to place. The entire ma
chinery was made on special specifi
cations gotten up by DR.. Simmons,
his intentions being to run the
machinery down to the waters
edge and do the pumping and then
have it hauled out above high
water whenever a rise comes down
the river. He is preparing to If
rigate about 1000 acres of fine
Nueces river bottom land, which
for fertility is not excelled on the
continent, and on this will raise
principally forage crops for his
cattle.
