WOMEN OF THE sEDe HOUSE.
English Home Where Fashion Has
Not Changed In 500 Years.

Not Changed In 800 Years.
The bede house (which means
praying house) was founded in tbs
reign Of James I, by Henry Howard.
the eccentric Earl OF Northampton,
and the Howard badge is still worn
by the inmates on Sundays and holi-
days. Nor Is this the most curious
detail OF their attic. for the old ladies
are garbed now just as they were In
the first days OF the foundation
blue gowns, scarlet cloaks and high
peaked hats, like these worn by
Welsh women.
At Rising then, more than at any
pace l know, we can fancy ourselves
back in early Stuart days. having
around us these ''bedes women"
dressed In the identical costumes OF
900 years ago. Nothing has been
changed In the fashion OF their
clothes, nor In the dear little rooms
they inhabit. As for the inmates
themselves, surely they are pretty
much the same as we're those first
fortunate old creatures who proflted
by Henry Howard's charity and Of
fered up their prayers for his bene-
ut. For In this world OF change
nothing changes so little as the hui
man heart, and the kinship Of hui
manity runs through every age. The
rules under which admittance is Oh
tanned were drawn up by the found
er.
Every applicant must prove herself
to be OF ian honest life and conver-
sation, religious, grave and discreet,
able to read (lf such an one may be
had), q single woman, her place to
be void upon marriage, to be fifty
years OF age at least. no common
beggar. scold. haunter Of taverns,
inns or alehouses." Once In. she
must hear prayers read by the gov
erness twice q day and be very reg
ular in her attendance at church.
Furthermore, she must never be
found guilty Of atheism, heresy: bias
phemy, neglect OF duty or misbe'
havior in the performance Of it, or
she will be expelled, sent out into
the cold world again, far from that
haven Of peace and rest.
But ] am quite sure that none OF
the old ladies' would ever do any
thing to merit dismissal; they live
apparently In the most delightful
bonds Of sisterly love. taking any do
nations you may give them for the

A cold spring, four weeks of dry wealth
er, and the possibility of heavy rains dur
ing the working season, makes the farmer
feel very blue, and as all other business,
professional and commercial, beats &C
cording to the agricultural pulse the News
suggests that politics, senatorial, state coun
ty and beat, be shelved until the farm
crop of next year are laid by.
The partisans of both senatorial factions
have INDUCED in numerous charges and
counter charges, as to the honor and hon
esty of their rival chiefs and nothing
can be gained by keeping the political
temperature at boiling point for a year
and a half.
Long before the time arrives for the
decision to be made as to who is best
to represent the Magnolia State in the
greatest deliberative body in the world
the hight will have been turned on and
the people will know whether the charges
made so freely against certain men are
true or false, and win be in position
to decide as to who is entitled to the dis
tinction of representing Mississippi.
OF course, as long as red blood runs
In the veins of the true MiSsissippian,
politics will be talked, but this advice is
offered, to do it quietly, at low tenn
perature, devoid of bitterness, and all
will work out for the best interests of the
state and her people.

Don't Fool with Cartridges.

Washington physician relates an
amusing incident in his early career.
when he praciiccd in the Tennessee
mountains. An elderly patient in
that region was suffering from a
malady the remedy for which the
doctor prescribed in the form OF cap
sules. The old woman trusted her
medical adviser, but for the medicine
she evinced suspicion. Some time al
ter she had taken the capsules she
was asked by her son how she fell.
"Poorly." "Don't YOU want nuthin'
to eat?" NO" Soon. however, the
old woman arose from her bed and
took her seat in a rocking chair.
Thinking that the attention would be
gratefully received, the son filled her
pipe, and taking a live coal from The
hearth, carried both to his mother.
Take that away, s0n!" yelled the old
woman in the utmost fright "Don't
YOU know bctter'n to come near me
when I've got those cart .Iges in
mc?"
