Decoration of Mounds at Ar
lington, Soldiers Home,
and Other Cemeteries to
Be on a Larger Scale Than
Ever.
Officials of Grand Army of
the Republic and Spanish
War Veterans Engaged in
Preparing for Historical
Annual Event.

The members of the c. A R. commit
suitable observance OF Memorial Day,
May 80. have almost completed the ar
rangements, and 1t is not improbable
that this years celebration Will surpass
those of many previous years. The COM
mitteemen are working harder, and the
celebration viii be conducted on q much
larger scale than ever. One fact which
enhances the probability OF the observ-
anceS eclipsfng those of past years Is
the fact that work on the arrangements
was begun much earlier this year than
usual.
The hoary veteran of the civil war.
and the younger boys in blue who saw
active service beneath Cuba's sunny
skies. in 9S. will alike observe the day.
Many of the comrades Of tho I'm
ion Savers" and the "Spaniard Chasers"
rest beneath the sods of Arlington. SOL
diers' Home, Glenwood, Fort Stevens,
Harmony. Georgetown, Anacostia. and
other burying grounds in and about the
National Capital. It is a well-known
fact that in no other place in America
are so many heroes sleeping as In Ar
lington. and the other cemeteries above
named. For that reason, and for the
love OF their fallen comrades. the vet
Grams of the Grand Army of the Rcpub-
lie, and the Spanish War Veterans pur-
pose to observe the day here as it is not
observed in any other city in the Union.
Work of Committees.
The subcommittee of the G. "A. r. re-
Gently made their report. and it was as
tory work had been finished and the
plans had assumed definite shape. Owing
10 the fact that there are about thirty
thousand soldier dead in the cemeteries
near Washington, and the grave of each
is TO be decorated with a floral tribute
the task the committeeman have before
them is difficult and entails great deal
OF work. a general committee has beer
chosen, composed OF department COM
Inanders, and a representative from eact
Of the posts of the Department of the
Potomac under command OF Ivory G.
kimball, the department officers. and the
captains of the Spanish War Veterans
and the colonies of the camps of the
Sons of Veterans. The subcommittee
appointed by the general committee have
the detailed arrangements in hand
There is a committee OF music, recep-
ton, decorations, grounds, transporta-
ton. and other things. These subcommit-
teemen are aided by the members OF the
numerous patriotic organizations OF
Washington, composed chiefly of mem
bers OF the gentler sex, who have taker
upon themselves the immediate and Am
portant duty of decorating The graves
CT sthe fallen soldiers, On all sides
hearty cooperation Is seen, and for thai
reason, if for no other. it is believed
that the observance of Memorial Day
this year will be far more grand thar
persons anticicate.

1t was said of Barry. the player, thas
he had a voice which might lure a bird
from a tree and at the same time an
address and manner the most prepos-
sessing and conciliating. The Dublin
theater Of which he was proprietor
failed. and he was considerably indebt-
ed to bis actors. musicians. etc. Among
others. the masXer carpenter called at
Barry's house and WIS clamorous in
demanding his money. Barry, who was
i'll at the time. came TO the head of the
stairs and ASKED what was the matter.
Matter enough replied the carpen-
ter. Il wait my money and can't get
it,
Don't be in Il passion" said Barry.

There was a certain young minister
in Maine who on his first charge was
called upon to preach a funeral sermon
over a woman. 1t was his first funera!
sermon. and he laid himself out to
make an impression and succeeded.
The pms had had her faults, but
the minister forgot them. This was to
be expected, but he eXtolled her SO
highly that the poor bereaved husband,
sitting there listening. couldn't recog-
niZe her by the description. Finally, in
a glowing peroration. he pictured God
and the ~archangels and the angels and
all the hosts of the redeemed jOyously
forming a parade to welcome to heaven
this one of the very best of all WON.
en-" The husband could stand it nc
longer, and, leaping up, interrupted
him with reckoning hand, gasping out
"No. 10. elder. Not quite that! She
vas only bout middlin'."

trouble is not with the law but with
some of the druggists, who violate the
law and thus cast odium upon the
whole medicinal permit law. Then.
too. the fault lies as well with patrons
of the druggist who are insistent upon
the purchase of liquor, and make re-
fusal difficult for the druggist. The
complaints of illegal sales of liquor are
in line with many complaints that
arise under any system of prohibition.
When there is demand, there will be
supply. and it remains yet for any per-
son to frame any prohibition law that
shall be wholly effective.

COVERED Dishes.
The Reason They We're Introduced
DURING the Middle Ages.

h Reason They We're Introduced
DURING the Middle ages.
From the days when our ancestors
took their food IN their lands and ate
it With as little ceremony rs a dog
gnaws Il bone to the present time OF
elaborate dinners is Il long step. but IL
gradual one. 1t was Il number of cen
turtles before dishes of any kind were
used. and knives and forks rs adjuncts
10 eating are later still. The fear of
poison which haunted the mind of
every person OF quality during the mid
die ages ave rise to certain curious
customs and ever to certain SuperSti-
tons. When dishes are now served
covered. it is understood that it is
merely for the purpose of keeping them
warm. This was not. however. the
principal reason why they were not
served covered during the dark ages.
1t was the fear that poison might be
introduced into them surreptitiously
between the kitchen and the table
where. they We're to be served to the
kings or the lords or ever to persons
of inferior rank.
The covers were not removed till the
master of the house had taken his
place. All dishes afterward served
We're brought on the table i'll the same
manner 1t was the custom originally
when the dishes were uncovered for
some of the servants to first partake
of them. but this custom was after
touching the food with II Of several
objects which We're regarded as infalli-
BILE preservatives against poison.

Not In Society.

dame Of the Victorian period Lady Bull
wer used to relate this incident:
The conversation turned on literature
one day, and this lady, who aimed at
forming a salon, got rather out Of her
depth.
"Who is this Dean Swift they are
talking about:" she whispered at last
to Lady Bulwer. II should like to in
vite him to one of my receptions"
"Alas, madam" answered Lady Bull
wer, "the dean did something that has
shut him GU of society"
Dear me! What was thatY"
"Well about a hundred years ago he
died"
