Of the army was discussed at an extended

besides the staff officers of Gen. Corbin and
those of each of the two division COM
manders, making a gathering of nearly
forty army officers.
The points settled were that the field or
operation involving the two main maneuver
problems Is to be confined to the map pre-
pared by Lieutenant Spalding and issued by
the War department; that any given opera
ton set for q certain day may begin imme-
diately after midnight Of the day previous,
If so desired; that no civilian scouts or
spies shall be employed by either side, and
that troops may bivouac in the field one
night during each of the two-day actions
planned. These were all points which were
not clearly settled by the general order
planning the action.
May Bivouac at Night.
An important decision was reached yes
terday at the consultation of the division
and brigade commanders with the corps
commander and the chief umpire of the
maneuvers. When the order publishing
the problems that will be given the troops
here was originally drafted it was the be-
lief Of the commanding general that 1t
would be better for all purposes to sus-
pend hostilities during the night, which
breaks into each of the problems, and send
the troops back to their respective camps,
where they could have comfortable quar-
ters for the night and return to the scene
Of the action the next morning, resuming
operations where they left off the day be-
fore. At that time this method of going
about the big war game appeared to be
the best that could be adopted. Since the
in progress the officers in supreme con-
troll have been forced to admit that to
march the troops back to their camps in
the heat of the day after hard work in the
field would be asking too much, even of the
regulars. The camps are too widely sepa-

Tennessee mountain village having such worldwide representation! Scarcely any. of the product is sold in America
 Three of the greatest things in the world are right here before one's eyes, and you couldn't guess them in week. One is the largest wooden bowl ever made, big enough for the three wise men of Gotham to cross the Atlantic in if the weather was calm and their de- pertinent right steady It is four feet across and two and half feet deep. It used to belong to Tennessee giant, for you may know they have giants i'll Ten nessee real live giants. This one must have been 200 feet high, with thou sands of limbs and millions of leaves.
 Another greatest thing on earth is the section of black walnut log six feet nine and a half inches across The third is display of the only butchers skew CT factory in the United States. So when you draw a hesitating skewer from the juicy roast of beef at your next dinner think of Tennessee and her 15, 900, ,OO0 acres of woods.
 Tennessee has forests so old that the trees are dying of senility, and in these woods are people as curious as the naked pygmies on the hill yonder or the Patagonian giants in their decollete summer blankets I would like to add the ginseng hunters of Tennessee to Dr. McGee's ethnological display. With a life so rude that the American Indian is a nabob, the 'seng hunters of the Ten nessee uplands carry on a traffic that rolls up handsomely in money. Ii Nashville alone $5O,OOO worth of gin seng is sold annually, product of the woods
 So while New York state is preserv- Ing her forests and getting anxious about her future timber supply Tennes- see is inviting investors to come down and make money out of the lumber in- dustry. Here. at the worlds fair, Ten nessee has 110 kinds of wood, all of it useful, all of it beautiful, for nature does her work most wonderfully in fit ting together the millions of minute cells into what we call the grain of the l wood. Mir. Foster will call your atten- l tion to panels of mahogany, and you will have to guess which is mahogany and which is stained sycamore.

COLOR SCHEME IN CHICKENS.

Port Jervis Youngsters Gave Town
 a Startling Poultry Show.
 There was consternation recently at Port Jervis, N. Y, among the families of Judge Lee Herman and others who reside near the vacant lots of the Wall lace estate and own chickens, says the New York World.
 The other evening, when the chickens sought their roosts, several youngsters, sons of prominent families, captured the poultry and painted their legs va rious colors. The sight the next morn ing was startling Some of the chick ems had solid red or green legs and feet, while all the Shanghai and other roosters were decorated like barber poles.
 Some owners tried to catch their chickens to wash the paint of, and the sight of woman or man chasing red, green or blue legged chickens added greatly to the gayety of the scene. The paint will have to wear off,
 The youngsters were not spanked. The town was too busy laughing to think of the rod. Nearly hundred chickens were painted.

 The sinewy title of .Old Hickory" in- Separable from the name of Andrew Jackson, is strictly Tennesseean. That's why 1t stuck to the old general.

Foster of Tennessee caught my eye and said, ''Yes, those are old hickory, every one perfect specimen"

 And that suggests" said MT. Foster, sthe story of how President Jackson got the title. In 1872 he organized by government authority military expe- nition at Natchez. Waiting under or ders for many weeks, he and his men became restless and did not hesitate to show that they wanted to do some thing. Finally came the order to dis band, which Jackson fatly refused to no, for 1t meant the abandonment of his army In wilderness without means of support. ''Isll march them into the heart of Tennessee to disband," ]" he said, and away they went, the general march Ing with his men, As they tramped on the way one of his soldiers exclaimed, "See General Jackson there, tough as old hickory

ECHO OF A SONG.

To my fancy, idly roaming, comes picture of the gloaming.

Ah, how well do I remember when by cracking spark and ember The old fashioned oaken rocker moved with rhythmic sweep and slow: With her feet upon the fender, ia & c0@@Hce low and tender, Floated forth that slumber anthem of a childhood long ago. There were goblins in the gloaming and < the half-c1osed eyes went roaming Through the twilight for the ghostly shapes of bugaboos along; Now the sandman's slyly creeping and a tired lad half-sleeping When she sings to him that

 conclude that Ceylon is not looking for immigration, else she would not exhibit in a great show case in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game two hooded cobras with heads erect and coiled ready for the fatal spring fatal to any living thing whose flesh the poison penetrates. AS we'll might Arkan- sas exhibit the poisonous water mocca- sin or Pennsylvania her rattlesnakeS. What an emblem of irreyocable decree is the cobra! The cobra's bite knows no antidote. Who can say but that intimate association with the cobra since times prehistoric, since the period of primitive man, in the ancient east is responsible for the now inborn spirit are exempt?
 Ceylon repels with her cobras, but fascinates with the politeness and in- dustry of her people. The cobraS are but an incident. The beautiful leop- ards in the same case with the cObras, are meant to illustrate the animal re- sources of Cingnlese jungles. An island people from necessity follow the saa, so here we may look upon the water craft-a long step from the Herre- shoffs or the Cramps, but interesting nevertheless and serving well the pur- poses of a people to whom time and effort seem to have less value than to the strenuous deni1ens of colder and more rigorous climes. The catamaran with huge sail and other models with bark or rush awnings are rude but serviceable.
 Ceylon exploits her commerce mod estly. A little case contains samples of a variety of tanning barks, woods and roots, sweet potato meal, plantaan meal and cassava meal and tapioca. Most striking is Ceylon's exhibit of woods. Few visitors overlook it. Out of huge log quarter section has been cut, and then from the interior enough has been taken to leave a roomy compartment which is closed with glass door. Tn here stately row of tonnes with bright backs are labeled with the names of Ceylon woods Each tome is a block of wood, no two alike.

 You and knew the catfish best at springtime when the old inlet boiled over and raised Cain with everything l that wasn't tied to tree. Sometimes l it took the tree Then 1t was all off. l We used to sit on the blunt end of l an old scow, upholding hickory fish l pole strong enough to land a cow l never less than two hooks, baited with l night walkers, and when we brought up

Pretty Lips.

To be really pretty the lips should be
rather full. but without the least suspicion
of thickness. Their color. too, should be of
bright red, not only for appearance sake,
but also as denoting a healthy body. Thin,
colorless lips betray poverty of the blood,
while very thin lips however bright their
color, show irritable, fretty disposition
So many girls when reading pull and
pinch their lips. This bad habit causes
the flesh to swell, and in a very short
time pair of ugly, thick lips is the re-
suit. Unfortunately, this unbecoming
blemish is not easy to cure. The prac-
tice of touching the lips must first be
abandoned and the lips gently rubbed with
cold cream two or three times a day. The
girl who unconsciously plays with her lips
will do well to wear a pair of woody gloves
when reading or studying She should also
get those around her to correct her direct
ly they notice her hand raised to her face
Biting the lips is another habit which
also thickens them, besides denoting a bad
temper. The best cure for this is to keep
white bone penholder in the mouth in
moments of leisure. and this will prevent
the teeth closing on the lips.

on the street is the exception rather than
the rule. 1t is true few white or cream

several weeks since. but the best dressed
French womer are trending more and more
toward sOmber shades for their costumes
especially at outdoor functions. Browns,
from rich golden to russell shades and the
green's and dull reds composing walking
gowns are more or less rich though sub
dued. The point of brilliancy is most no

AS for fur hats, they are generally COM
posed of two kinds of skins, seal and sable
or moleskin and white rabbit and made up
in elongated toques worn a little off the
face. Quaint touches of gold in the form of
cockades are effective trimmings on some
OF these stunning fur hats To wear with a
smart tailor gown toque of beaver trim
med with parma violets and roses is very
pretty.
The gown cut en- princesse is coming in
again. and I have seen a good many ex-
amples designed for the early Riviera sea-
son. This gown very often has the bodice
and skirt cut separately. but the waist is
so skillfully manipulated that the whole
frock has the appearance of being cut in
one and hangs in long, graceful folds.
Concerning skirts. the width and shape
are quite different this winter. for. although
the upper part of the skirt fits quite close,
great many cases this width is achieved by
