Arthur Hayter later said that he had

had called his presence to the attention
of Sir Henry Campbell
who, it is presumed, also noted the att

Now, neither Sir Gilbert Parker nor
Sir Albert Hayter thought then that
they had seen Sir Carne other than in
the flesh. 1t wasn't until the invalid
received fluctuations from his friends
over his improved condition that it be-
came known that he had been at home
all the time.
His family was appalled, when Sii
Frederick narrated the story of his "ap-

doubt that he had gone in spirit to the
House, since he had hoped SO sincerely
to attend the session.

the ground that in body no larger

Lemon With Fish.

We have long used lemons with fish
because of the great contrast in flavor
between the acid of the fruit and the
blandness Of the fish. There is, how
ever. a sound dietetic reason for this
combination. Fish is an acid forming
food and therefore it is necessary that
certain other foods which are alkaline
in their reaction on the body oe eaten
with it. Lemons are among the foods
that have this alkaline reaction, though
they are sour to the taste.

BEAUTY AIDS IMPORTANT
AS FROCKS FROM PARIS

Improved methods of giving facial
messages and manicures promise to
be as important announcements to
women of the future as new show
ings of Paris frocks in the opinion
of Hazel Rawson Cades, beauty edi-
tor of Farm and Fireside, writing in
the May issue.
Discussing "that awkward ache"
"a sense of feeling ill at ease
Miss Cades says that this is one of
the most uncomfortable feelings in
the world. Cultivating Indifference
is acceptable as a remedy for awk-
wardness, she admits, but she sees
such self-sufficiency as possible
only when the woman knows her
finger nails are well manicured and
her nose isn't shiny.
"The sense of good grooming that
comes from a facial or a manicure
is worth more to a woman than a
Paris frock," she says. "Of course
the effect is temporary. If you start
once you just have to keep on. But
you wash your floor again and again.
And you don't give up cooking
breakfasts because the family eats
them up. If you'll keep up the good
work you'll see that results will far
outshine the results of either your
to floors or breakfasts"

Everyday Law Cases
Does Deposit OF Money in An
others Name Constitute a Gift?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Upon Mr.. Maddox's death, the ad-
ministrator discovered among his papers
savings bank book. which disclosed
that Mr.. Maddox had deposited $500
in his sons name.
When the son heard of the discovery,
he Immediately made claim for the
fund, contending that it was apparent
that his father had by the deposit in
tended to make a git of the. money
to him.
The administrator, uncertain of his
legal obligation in the matter, disputed
the sons claim, SO that the question
could be settled by the court.
The facts were admitted, and at the
conclusion of the case the court rend-
cred a verdict against the son, stating:
"A gift may never be upheld upon
evidence which merely establishes an
intention to give There must be a
delivery Of the gift to the donee and
acceptance of it by him. The title
must pass and the gift must be ir-
revocable In this case there was no
delivery to the donee and no acceptance
by him"

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December IL, 1S61.-Manager Can

made arrangements for through train
from New York to Washington, to run
every ~ hours, especially to bring re-
cruits here for the Union Army. The
recruits, it is announced today. will
hereafter not be permitted to occupy
the regular express trains.
The change in the method Of bring
ing recruits from the North to this
city is the result Of many complaints
to the effect that the regular express
trains on the New York Washington
route have frequently failed to make
the necessary connections, owing to the
fact that they have heretofore been
to the Capital City to join the Union
Army. The new train, especially for
recruits, Is intended to obviate this
difflculty.
The rush of men of all kinds to
Washington is bringing here many un-
desirable characters not connected with
the military operations. The local
police today are looking for man who
picked the pocket of William Johnson
brother of former Gov. johnson OF
Pennsylvania. The theft occurred yes
terday afternoon at the railroad sta
ton.
The unknown thief took from Mr.
Johnson's pocket two Government
drafts-one for $4,000 and one for
1900 check for $685. on a Pitts
burgh bank and $500 in cash.
It was announced today that portable
gas generators have been constructed
to remove the inconvenience that has
attended upon the operations of Prof.
Lowe, who has been making observa-
tionS Of the Confederate positions in
the nearby section Of Virginia in his
Captive" balloons.
Heretofore the balloons have had to
be inflated in this city and then trans
ported, under great difficulties, to the
points from which the observations were
to be made Of the Confederate Army
positions Not only was this a hard
task, but 1t has been slow and very
tedious.
Two of the new gas generators are
already in Washington. They are at
tracing much attention from visitors
to the armory lot, where they have been
placed temporarily. The apparatus is
contained in q box. which is fixed to q
four wheeled carriage. It Is easily
moved to any desired point. where the
gas may then be generated and the
balloon inflated on the spot.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday. December IL.

According to astrology tomorrow will
be a day of i'll omen and for that reason
a time to watch ones step.
Under this rule discomfort and rest
lessness may be accented. This Is
likely to affect many lines OF industry.
Venus afflicting Jupiter and Saturn
until after sundown Is believed to make
the rule adverse for social affairs and
for financial matters.
Theaters for both the spoken drama
and the screen, which now talks, will
pass through period of cropping under
this direction of the stars which pre-
sageS for the future great achievements.
Persons who shop should exercise
care in making selections, for there may
be tendency to be impulsive and even
tooliShly extravagant.
While this rule prevails, persons may
feel rheumatic twinges that center in
the knees. Medicated baths and warm
er climates will be much in the minds of
the middle-aged.
The annual movement to Winter
Summerlands this year will be ex-
traordinarily large, it is foretold, for
severe weather is to prevail in many
parts of the country.
Diplomacy now is likely to be test

is to come to American ambassadors or
ministers
The rule which threatens harmony in
international relations also has its in
fuence In domestic affairs. The home
Is place where the best tact should be
employed at this time.
Both hospitals and jails may be un-
usually crowded under this sinister
planetary government, which not only
is supposed to be responsible for ac-
cidents, but for many crimes.
Theft is to be more widespread than
ever before, it is forecast, and highway
men will flourish despite police precau-
tionS
Rise in the tide of crime is to bring
about great reform movements.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of much good fortune In the
coming year which will bring tests and
rewards.
Children born on that day probably
will be extremely conscientious and
studious. Many churchmen are born
under this sign.
