SAVED THE GOLD.

Surgeon General Sternberg had a
peculiar experience at the battle Of
Bull Run. Just before going in he was
approached by an Irish sergeant-maior
Of his regiment, who handed him bag
Of gold coin weighing three or four
pounds. Doctor" said the Irishman.
II know Pm to be kilt enthirely. an /
want you to take care Of this money
an see that it gets to the ould folks
at home in ould Ihreland" The doctor
had no time TO demonstrate or make
any other arrangement, for the Irish
man dropped the bag into the surgeons
lap and hurried away TO his place at
the head Of the column. All through
two bloody days DR.. Sternberg carried
that bag Of gold with his surgical in
struments. and it was a burden and
embarrassment to HIM He tried to get
rid Of it, but he couldn't find any one
willing to accept or even share the
responsibility, and he couldn't throw
1t away for the sake Of the "ould
folks at home"
Toward the close of the second day
the surgeon was taken prisoner. He
lost his surgical instruments and his
medicine case, but clung to the gold.
and making a belt of his necktie and
handkerchief tied it around his waist
next to the skin to prevent its confisca-
ton by his captors During the long.
hot and weary march that followed.
the gold pieces chafed his flesh, and his
waist became so sore and blistered as
to cause him intense suffering. but he
was bound that the "ould folks at
home" should have the benefit of that
money, and by the exercise of great
caution and patience managed TO keep
1t until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington.
Here he found his regiment in camp,
and one of the first men TO welcome
him was the Irish sergeant-major, who
was so delighted to learn that the doc
tor had saved his money that he got
drunk and gambled it all away the
first night.-Washington Star.

1t is a familiar statement that women
who go to the country for the summer
seem to find more delight in their trips
to town than their sojourn at the
summer resort. The frequency with
which they come into town depends on
their ingenuity in inyenting some press
ing necessity for seeing the dress
maker, the dentist or the doctor 1t
is usually the dentist who serves them
bess as an excuse, for he may be made
the pretext for visit to town at any
time.
The superiority of the girl who goes
oftenest to town over her associates in
the hotel is always noticeable. She
shares temporarily the continued tri-
umph Of the engaged girl, who, as ev-
erybody knows is looked upon by the
other young women as worthy Of envy
in the highest degree.
Next to the girl who is engaged and
the girl who goes oftenest to town, the
girl who is most frequently called up
on the telephone is regarded as a
favorite of fortune. To be called up on
the long-distance phone from New
York must mean something serious,
summer boarders say. 1t is expensive
enough to imply that the engagement
is almost ready to announce.
70 be called up once a week to the
phone will fill the other young women
at the hotel with excitement, while to
he called up daily fills the hearts Of
The others with chagrin, not excluding
the engaged one and the one that goes
oftenest to town.
1t is only by these vicarious methods
that girls may be bellies in the summer
hotels to-day. The number of men in
these places is so small and most Of
them are so young that actual superior
ity among the girls struggling for their
attention is hollow victory. Indian

in, and men looked wise as we started
that morning, predicting all kinds Of
unpleasant weather. The road was
abandoned during the winter, because
it led over a great waste and no pro-
vision was made for travellers. Fifteen
miles from our destination an accident
befell our horse. Darkness was fast
gathering. The only possible refuge
was the Kings tomb, which we had
started to see, so we decided that the
'only thing TO do was to walk the dis
tance. | have always been fond Of
walking, but / cannot truthfully say
that / enjoyed that fifteen-mile tramp
through the cold AMI darkness. Reach
ing the tomb at last, we decided that
II would be best FOR me to take up my
quarters within the tomb, the guide
remaining with me, while the coolie
walked to a village some miles farther
on in search of another horse. 1t was
dark beyond description inside the
tomb, and when the footsteps of the
coolie could no longer be heard. every
sound, save one, died away on the still
ness of the night. / made my way
cautiously to the farthest corner, CROP
ing along against the wall Of the tomb,
thinking to take what comfort could
be had from so miserable a situation.
No sooner had l settled for fne night
than heard the most weird, unearthIy
sound that ever pierced human ears.
The uncanny place had suddenly taken
on the atmosphere of life. There was
a sound of rushing Of wings that froze
the blood iii my veins. My heart
seemed TO have stopped beating Sud
denly discovered what it was. A
horde Of horrid bats had awakened
from their letharGY and simultaneously
started on a tour of investigation.
Bats are ugly creatures. Z would
rather have sixteen active babies all
clutch my hair at the same time than
surrender my locks to one sportiye bat,
especially Of the milan variety. Their
wings and shrieks became a rhythm to
which my tired senses kept time until
blessed slumber came, and the morn
ing brought a pair Of fresh horses and
a coolie laden with breakfast for two.

NEW WINDOW DRAPERIEs.

By economy is not meant to buy the
cheapest or the highest priced foods.
In meats the cheapest is not the most
economical, since it is apt to be inferior
and tough, in which case it would be
the most expensive. The old saying
that the best is the cheapest applies es-
pecially to meats.-American Queen.
The question of window and arch
way draperies is particularly live one
to the present day householder. We
are entering upon what an English
writer terms "a renaissance of interior
decoration" and the food tide Of
French and italian designs that mark
all new fabrics quite sustains his con-
clusion. There is no phase Of this
study in which the impulse of inven-
tion IS felt more strongly than in that
which deals with new draperies and
their counterfeits, wall papers. The
richest of to-day's novelties in furni-
ture coverings and draperies are all in
combinations that initiate the subdued
tones of the late sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries Moire damask in
palest tan, or the green Of the mignon-
cite, over which are impressionistic
cream or pink flowers, and designs in
leaf and scroll that unite the pale
shades of green, blue, rose and brown
ish tans, is conspicuous. In all the
new brocades and damasks, whether
costly or Of medium grade and again
repeated in lace embroideries, wall
papers and the more beautiful Gre
tonnes. the tendency is toward the ex-
quisitely detailed conventional garland
and basket and lovers knot designs
which characterized French decora-
tons of every class for 100 or more
years preceding Napoleon. At the same
time there is to be seen in draperies of
high texture, and on embroidered net
curtains, a revival of Venetian and
Florentine ornament-Harper's Bazaar.

things in their best condition and in
their season and in not buying l-iore or
less of perishable goods than what Is
needed for each day Violation of this
most essential rule is a source oE much
waste of money. Economy does not
mean stinginess. Enough is enough.
Generosity does not consist in lavish
superfuity of food or drink.
Flour. grains and dried fruit will
keep for an indefinite time if stored in
a dry place. Beef and mutton should
be kept in a dry, cool place for some
time before cooking, but veal and lamb
should be cooked when freshly killed.
Fish and vegetables cannot be bought
too fresh. Poultry should be cooked
when fresh, but game requires more
time to develop the flavor.
The best place to market is at the
large stores, where there is large pa
tronage and quick sales. In smaller
stores goods get stale by standing SO
long on the shelves.

Don't scorn to learn of an almond

cret is that she displays nothing in the
drawing room except a lovely flower
and a screen.
Don't get tired if you care to preserve
the pristine beauty of a rose-leaf com
plexion.
Don't shop-that is. don't shop the
whole day long in feverish excitement
running bargains to earth. Not only
are dress and temper ruined, but COM
plexions as well.
Don't wear gloves too new or too old.
New ones cause wrinkles because of
their newness; old ones because of
their want Of respectability. Gloves
are worn too much anyway.
Don't always be doing something;
have intermittent attacks of idling.
Don't neglect the afternoon forty
winks." If you don't rest your mirror
will show a new line in your face ev-
cry day.
Don't sleep with the hand under the
cheek; it will numb and wrinkle the
skin.
Don't let the jaw drop just at the
moment of falling asleep; it tends to
make lines on either side Of the mouth.
Don't use powder on the face. 1t digs
its way into every line and digs it
deeper and deeper.
Don't be afraid Of friction for the
face; freshness is produced by the
tepid bath in which bran has been
stirred followed by long friction. This

Don't indulge in the essentially femi-

The Chronicle of September con-
tains the following:
Recent advices from the City of Mex
leo say that the late visit of c. Hede-
mann, the eminent Sugar engineer Of
Hawaii, to Mexico has been followed by
that of j. II. Hancock of Honolulu,
who is reported to represent Ha-
waiian syndicate that is considering
Mexico as Sugar producer, with
view to making investments. Mr.. Han
cock and his friends are attracted By
the large, tracts Of arabic land in Mex
leo capable of producing Sugar, and
their interest is heightened by the labor
difficulties in Hawaii making the in
dustry so expensive. They spent some
weeks in the Tehuantepec section, but
not finding the transportation facilities
at present adequate to the handling Of
the large acreage contemplated, they
are now in the vicinity of Tamaulipas
examining plantations offered them
and which are located closer to rail-
roads than the rich but isolated sugar
lands of Southern Mexico In about
eighteen months railroad facilities will
be more adequate in Tehuantepec, but
at present they are too limited.

IRIS BROUGHT
WATER BARGE
TOWED CRAFT FROM MARE ISL
AND TO THIS PORT-WAS ELEV-
EN- DAYS OUT.

The U. S. s. Iris with the naval water
barge in tow arrived this morning
from Mare Island after an uneventful
trip. If smooth weather had not been
encountered considerable trouble would
have been experienced. AS it was the
chain parted last Saturday and much
time was lost picking up the tow The
barge is a new craft and was originally
intended for Guam, but will be sta
toned at Honolulu. The Iris brought
100 tons of general naval store, 20 tons
of which are for the marine guard at
Midway. The Iris will take on $50 tons
of coal and depart Thursday or Fri
day for Guam and Cavite.
Captain Wilton is her commander.
He was originally commander of Dew
ey's dispatch boat Zahro during the
Spanish war and later took out Ameri-
can naturalization papers and is now
regularly employed by the government.
He is not a member of the navy how
ever.
