A combination of cream lace and silver

white lace is quickly gaining favor,
thought it is not SO becoming as cream;
in fact, in my opinion it is decidedly
trying.

Dust Spray or LIQUID snrau

The contest is still ON between the
dust spray and the liquid spray. In
Illinois and other states to the east
and north the Gust spray has made
little advance. but has obtained .
good share of the attention of the

There are only three women who
have the Grand Gordon of the Legion
of Honor, namely, the Queen of Hol-
land; her mother. Queen Emma, and
Queen Christina of Spain. The Ger
man emperor, the King of Wurtem-

are the only European sovereigns who
have not been decorated with the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Curiously enough, there is one of the
Orleans princes, however, who pos

Fear Than Joy.
Prof. Latta of Glasgow tells of a
man who, having suffered from cata-
ract from his birth, recovered his
sight at the age of 80. The patient
before the operation was unable to
distinguish objects, though he could
tell daytime from night and could To-
cate a light For about ten days
after the operation the patient ap-
peared dazed and could not realize
that he was SEEING says Prof. Latta.
1.-The size of everything in the ward
seemed very much exaggerated, and
on that account he had very great diff
fculty in interpreting what he saw.
THE first thing he actually per-
ceived was the face of the house sur
geon. AT first he did not know what
it was, but when the doctor asked him
to look down the sense of hearing
guided his eye straight to the point
whence the sound came, and thence,
recalling what he knew from having
felt his own face, he realized that this
must be a mouth and that he must
be looking at face" He was entire
1y ignorant of color, but learned to
distinguish hues very quickly.
AS he looked out of a high window
he felt as if he could touch the ground
with a stick. He did not retain his,
faculty of moving easily about in the
dark. Before, he could guide himself
fearlessly through a ward, but now
says the physician, he has lost all that
feeling of confidence, and when his
eyes are shut he is afraid to move,
and is impelled to open them to ascer
tain where he is going.

81 entertained a certain bishop last
year at dinner. My butler, an elderly
man, had brought in from a friends
house an inexperienced lad to help
him in the dining room, and it seems
that this lad, during the laying of the
cloth, annoyed the butler beyond en-
durance with questions as to his du-
ties.
How shall 1 hold the plates?'
Do serve the dishes on the right

Must the bishop be served first

so he continued interminably, and
at last the impatient butler said:

stand behind the bishops chair, and
whenever his lordship puts down his

man actually took the buffers ironical

nervousness would permit, he opened

Soldiers Early Experience.

To the veteran every occurrence
through which he passed is dear,
especially SO the little striking events
of his early soldier days, writes an
Eastern veteran. My regiment, the
Fourteenth Rhode Island Heavy Artil-
lery, was stationed at one time at Fort
Jackson, on the Mississippi river, 40
miles above its mouth. l recall that
fully one-third of our battalion were
schoolboys like myself-all willing to
grow boards and to become sturdy
fighting men.
Our officers, too, were new to the
business of war-having been made
such after a hasty study of the first
seventy pages of the army regulations
making it plain that we must have
training as well as pluck! that we
were all supposed to have in order to
escape the whipping and final annihi-
lation said to be in store for us at
the horny hands of our opponents, the
Texas cowboys. A little later 1000 of
these cowboys were compelled to
tether their mustangs and lay down
their arms by uS-but this is a di-
greSsiOn.-

at Fort Jackson will serve to show

he saved the lives of several men
George Hunt prevented a fuse shell
from exploding by crushing handful
of mud into the hole where the fuse
was suffering. He received no medal.
Patrick Gimley, a private in Company
G, First New York light artillery, in
1864 was caught between the lines
when his command retreated. He
crept back to the abandoned works,
put three charges of canister in one
of the guns, and blazed away at the
enemy on the point of entering the
works. This led to the reoccupation of
the works by the Union troops, and
twenty-six years later Gimley received
a medal of honor for that exploit.
Samuel E. Eddy, Company D, Thir-
ty-seventh Massachusetts,, went be-
yond the firing line to bring in the
regimenta1 adjutant, who had been
wounded. Eddy was run through the
body with a bayonet and pinned to
the ground, but he shot his assailant
and saved the adjutant. He received
medal of honor. Two of our boys
who went into the zone of fire after
the charge at Kenesaw and brought
in a wounded comrade did not receive
medals. Orion P. Howe, a 14-year-oId
drummer of the Fifty-fifth Illinois,
went under heavy fire at Vicksburg
to report to Gen. Sherman the need
of more ammunition, and was given
medal of honor. Lieut. s. G. Grub

it was struck by lightning, have no
