WITH MISSISSIPPI WATER.
Heir of Duke of Manchester to Be Chris
tened

The Duke OF Manchester's son and
heir is to be chrstened with water taken
from the Mississippi river just below
Nicksburg, the water to be used having
been shipped from there last week by
Manager Archer of the Southern EX-
press company.
The water was ordered by telegraph
by Manager Williams of the express
company at the New York end of the
line, the message having merely read to
express q jug of Mississippi river water
duly sealed and sworn to as the genuine
article by a justice of the peace, and
stating that it was for expectation and to
rush it that same afternoon.
Manager Archer took a buggy, drove
to the river and secured the water, sealed
it. and had the official stamp of Il justice
of the peace placed on the jug, and eX-
pressed it.
A letter was received telling that the
water had been sent to London to be
used in the christening of the Duke Of
ManchesterS baby son.
This incident brings back to mind the
fact that the Duke of Manchester is the
grandson Of Nine. YZnaga, who resides
Just below Vicksburg on the Mississippi
river, and evidently it is the desire to
christen the son with this water in token
of the esteem for the elderly grandpa
rent. by whose home the great river
flows. He has visited her at her home
often with his bride, who was Miss Zim-
norman of Cincinnati.

may be understood that there was no

Charninn Endurance Walter.

There are many records of sorts, and
an Italian with passion for dancing has
added another-that of the endurance
waltz. This novel champions name is
Signor Guattierro. and he made his dis
play in Paris during Sunday with five
competitors, lured by the challenge offer
of Signor Guattierro to give t4O to the
man who could dance him down.
incidentally the event established
romething like record for the single
pianist who played the contest through,
for it was part of the plan that the sue
cessive dances should be played without
the slightest break OF interruption, as if
they formed successive movements III a
single composition. This was necessary
because it was stipulated that a single
fault in step or time on the part of the
dancers disqualified: The bali opened
at 10 a. m. and it closed at 1870 yester-
day morning For an hour before that
time al other dancers but Signor Guat-
tiorro were merely shutting their feet.
The number of dances played was ~.

NEW BATHING SUIT.
Princsess Style Destined to Become
Popular.

4 most effective bathing suit is a prin-
cess. but showing a trimming arrange
ment that suggests a corselet skirt with
suspenders or bretelles. The material, of
navy blue Sicilian, is made to fit the fig
ure by means of seams, the material
springing from these at the line of the
hip. forming the necessary skirt fullness.
The bottom is trimmed with wide band
of bright plaid and second band passes
around the figure just below the bust
suggesting q corselet skirt. The square
neck is finished with a narrower band of
plaid and then plaid suspenders cross
the shoulders and button down to the
band around the bust. The skirts are lit
tie capes slashed their entire length and
the edges connected with little plaid
bows. Navy blue stockings, white shoes
and cap, little more than a bow of the
plaid completes this striking costume.
FrOcks OF tartan for general wear will
be more seasonable if made in suspender
or pinafore models, the white lawn blouse
providing suggestion of GOODNESS to
such a toilet.
For older girls, the Peter Pan suits in
white linen may be made very smart by
the addition of plaid cuffs collar, belt
and patch pocket flap, especially if a tie
and stockings to match of the plain color
prevailing in the plaid were made fin

man married Mathilde to Mr.. Christian

to be paid at once. In the suit against
the city Mr. Nordstrom is acting as his

TO Drive Away the Green Fly.


Next to clean water for the destruc
ton Of green fly upon the majority Of
plants, gardeners value soft soap the
most; when judiciously used it is an
unfailing remedy and attended with no
risk. Dissolved in water, at the rate
of two ounces of soap TO one gallon of
water, and the plants dipped in the
liquid, or Syringed with it, SO that 1t
reaches insects in sufficient quantities
to thoroughly wet them, it will do its
work in the most effectual manner. 1t
is, however, q remedy that requires the
exercise of little fOrethOught. If it
is to be used in houses it should be ap-
piled in the evening. when the house
will he closed for several hours, and
when 1t will not dry up too quickly.
When the liquid is to be applied to
plants or trees growing in the open air
1t should be done in the evening of
warm and still days. If there is only
n little wind blowing the liquid SO
quickly disappears that it is dried up
before it has time to complete its work

Young guinea fowls are quite tender

lar to turkeys or young chicks with a
variety of feed, including small seeds
etc. They must have pure water and
shade and some animal feed, such as
worms, grubs, or green bone. Mrs. Tate
wrote to Farm and Home that her
chicks are fed equal parts of bran, corn
meal. crushed rice, and a little bone
meal, and some ground raw potatoes
each day after the first week. Chicks
are fed all dry food in hoppers, SO none
is wasted or soiled. They are fed all
they can eat of the dry corn, meal,
bran and crushed rice. Gravel and fresh
water are kept before them all times.
Water must be in tin and galvanized
drinking fountains so chicks can just
get their heads in, but not their feet.
