Is some tendency to Individuality. "A

A husband and wife may have both

when husband and wife call together

When the daughters Of a family are

Origin of n Phrase,

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with
their forefeet. They paved 1t out
sometimes to the depth Of several
inches, sometimes a foot or more.
These holes were called "scrapes," and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
were careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laughed
at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud, and, as
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit, they were said to
have got into a scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this express
sion, and thus 1t came to be applied to
people who had got into difficulties of
various sorts.

There Is one case In which it is
proper to send In a persons card to

the call Is made on business, the ladies'

acquainted. If you wish to introduce
a stranger TO a friend by card, simply
write on your visiting card the words,

Blank may then send your card with
one of her own to the friend to whom
you introduce her, or. if it is a bust

call in person and send her card to

During my college days our family

Rod l understood that my sister had a
love affair, but since h was older

Their my sympathy nor my Judgment
was in demand very little was said to
me about the affair.
A few years later the Spanlsh-Ameri-

tenant In the national guard, went out
to fight the dons. In the very first en-
counter in which l took part 1 was
wounded and taken prisoner. / had the
good fortune to be located near n of
the best Spanish hospitals, to which l
was taken INT treated with every at
tention. One morning the officer of the
day went through the ward where

geon. When the officer passed my bed
l noticed that my face caught his at
tention. Indeed he stared at me as IL
he had known me before. The next
day | received a basket of fruit to
which was attached the card of Major
Adelberto Angelo.
Major Angelo anne to see me every
day after that and loaded me with at
tentions. Naturally l became very
fond of him | e~ndeavored to gain from
him the cause of his having noticed
me and of his attentions, but failed
signally. He declared that it was the
result of fancy. The intimacy lasted
five weeks, at the END of which time l
was discharged from the hospital and
very soon after exchanged.
The next time l saw Angelo he was
lying MORALLY wounded on the battle
field. We were pressing the Spaniards
before Santiago, and having cleared
a way directly In front of our regi-
ment with Il Calling gun we pushed
forward over a field. Stepping over
what l supposed was a corpse, l
glanced down to be sure that l should
not touch it, and looked into the livid
face of Major Angelo. 1t was not per-
missible for me to leave my company,
but l did. STOPPING, l raised his head.
Angelo opened his eyes, and a loving
smile told me that he recognized me.
I saw him try to move his lips to speak,
but the effort was a failure. Then he
fell ~back-dead.

DESKS OF FAMOUS MEN.
There Are Many of Them Scattered
About the Country.

About the Country.
The desk of Salmon p. Chase, a plain
piece of furniture made from mahog-
any, is In one of the rooms of the treas
ury department at Washington. There
are many of these old desks scattered
about the country, their chief claim to
interest being hat once some well
known man leaned over them.
Alexander Hamilton's travelling desk,
made of mahogany and measuring y
by 16 inches and 10 inches high, Is an
interesting object. Upon this desk was
written much of his literary work, and
the worn green baiZe with which it Is
lined attests to the use to which 1t was
put. There Is a drawer In II side and
several compartments for pens and
ink, while upon the top is inlaid a sill
yer plate with the name General Al
exander Hamilton" engraved upon 1t.
Within the top is a strip of parchment
which says, "Given by Mrs. General
Schuyler to her daughter, Mrs. Cen
eral A. Hamilton" No doubt the con-
yenient size was what recommended 1t
to the general.
Nathaniel H~awthorne's desk Is pre-
served at the custom house, Salem,
Mass. A desk at which he wrote some
of his inimitable romances was just a
board standing out from the wall at an
angle. This is still in the tower room
at Wayside, his home at Concord,
Mass. Victor Hugo had in his Guern-
sey house a study built almost entirely
of glass and perched upon the roof.
Like Hawthorne, he. too, stood at his
writing, and his desk was a mere shelf
fastened by hinges to the wall.-Deline
