Bow It I* Observed In the South. IN the North they sometimes call It Decoration Day, but In the South it is always Memorial Day. Both have the same' meaning, however, to the old soldiers of the country, who remember the dark years of the early part of the six ties, and Memorial Day In the South Is being more generally observed each year, for the custom is being handed down from the veterans themselves to organizations of their sons, who Join In the process ions and take their part in the beau tifying of the cemeteries. Each year Unds thousands of those who wore the gray uniforms falling In line on Memorial Day, to tramp perhaps three or four miles in order to pay this annual tribute, not only to their dead comrades, but to many of the men in blue who were burled near the scenes where they fought. The United Confederate Veterans, which is the main organization of the old soldiers of the South, still number about 70,000 In camps scat tered all the way from Maryland to Texas. In recent years many of the largest camps situated near burial grounds of Union soldiers have re UK DELIVEItKD A POWERFUL BLOW. - membered In this way those who fell on both sides as well as their own For a number of years past the hundreds of graves of unknown dead in the cemetery at Winchester, Va., been beautified, although In not m few repose the bodies of Northern tnen who lost their lives in the sev eral battles which were BO bitterly fought in this portion of Virginia's ▼alley. Some years ago a monument was erected, largely through the sub scriptions of the people in the vicin ity. which is one of the most attrac tive in the South. On it is this sig nificant inscription: "None knew who they were, but ail knew what they were." As may be- imagined it was erected to these nameless ones. While the Government has done much In recent years in adorning auch cities of the dead as those which are located at Antietam, South Mountain, Arlington and oth ers famous in history, the Southern people have also engaged in the same work for their own, and although most of the funds raised for the pur pose have been through private con tributions they have effected a great Ma'ttte Flag of Flrrt Tminnareo Keglnicut **pturej at. Battle of Gettysburg, July .1,1 WW. JEfPERSON DAVIS' TRIBUTE TO SOUTHERN WOMEN l!ie Confederate Government," President Jefferson Davis pays a liaiid stic.o tribute to (lie women of the South'. The Dedication is as follows:- To the women of the Confederacy whose pious ministrations to our wounded soldiers soothed the last hours of those who died from the ob ject of their tenderest love; whoso domestic labors contributed much to «39>ly the wants of our defenders in the field; whoso realon3 faith in our cause shone a guiding star undimincd by the darkest clouds of war; transformation. This is especially notable at Atlanta, where the resting place of nearly every Southern sol dier has been marked in some way. It also contains several of the finest monuments of this character in the United States. At Marietta, Ga., where nameless South ern troops are burled, the graves are marked with blank stones in order that they may not be forgotten, and yearly these are decorated as well as those which oqutain inscriptions. • A MOSBY : : VICTORY : The accompanying spirited picture illustrates the fight at Cabletown, near Harper's Ferry, between Captain Blazer's company of picked Union men armed with the then new Spencer repeating guns and Colonel John S. Mosby's famous Confederate Guerril las. Of this battle Colonel Mosby wrote: "For a few minutes there was a hand to hand fight; but each of my men had a pair of pistols; these were as superior In a close conflict as the Spencers were at long range. Many of Blazer's men fell killed and wounded; at last they gave way In a tumultuous rout. Blazer, of course, had to go with them. He made an attempt when he reached the village of Myerstown to rally the fugitives; but in vain; they kept on in a head long flight. "Blazer rode a fleet horse and was one of the last captured. One of my men, whose horse was the fastest, a youth, Svd Ferguson, at last over took him. Syd had flred the last shot from his pistols. The flying horse man leaned over on the neck of his steed. Syd rose In his stirrups and delivered a powerful blow on the neck of his foe. "Blazer fell from his horse; the race was over; and his career ended there. "This affair was as fatal to Blazer as Culloden was to Charles Edward. The Spencer carbines had *been of little use at close quarters. "Blazer's loss was twenty-four killed, twelve wounded and sixty-two prisoners and all their horses. The extraordinary number killed was on account of the flght being hilt to hilt. "However great may have been Captain Blazer's chagrin at this de feat, he took his capture In good part. : ' The victors and vanquished were , soon on the friendliest terms. Blazer 1 and each of his men carried a canteen of old whisky. They shared the con j tents with my men, and before they j had crossed the mountain it was a i merry crowd. That night they had a high jinks at a farmer's* house in Loudoun."

Jefferson Davis stood the test of true greatness; he was the greatest to those who knew him best. One of the marked traits of Mr. Davit* pri vate life was his exquisite courtesy. He was one of the most approachable of men, as polite and affable to the JEFFERSON DAVIS. humblest as to the most exAlted. la his old age In Raleigh, N. C., he ex cused himself to all calfers, In order to receive the visit of his former slave. It Is characteristic of the man that he closed his farewell address to the Senate by apologizing for any pain which in the heat of* discussion he might have inflicted. His last words on earth were, "Please excuso mo." Such gentleness usually mark a man of courage. On a memorable occa sion he uttered the characteristic maxim, "Never be haughty to the humble, nor humble to the haughty." In seven days no less than 287,- 000,000 herring have been landed at Yarmouth, England. i' i. \■. whose fortitude sustained tliem under all the privations to which they W(#e subjected; whose annual tribute expresses their enduring grief, love,, and reverence for our sacred dead \ andjwhose patriotism will teach their r revolutionary sires; are children to emulate the doeds of on dedicated by their countryman.—Jefferson Davis.

Scarce had he spoken when he fell. First victim of a section's hate. Who heard the cry of victory swell, And passed to Heaven through Glory's gate. ■ • The name immortal Beo had given Was sealed in storm of shot and shell; / The foe at Bull Run, panic-driven, Learned Ktonewell Jackson's tactics well!

But Barbara Frictchie'a palsied hand Ne'er waved a Union flag that dav; And Jackson, leading his command. Passed tlirough another street and way. Where Fredericksburg lies on the plain He dealt a swift and deadly blow, And drove an army back again Whose blood encrimsoncd winter's snow. Then came the fatal Tenth of May; And as he rode outside his line, A hasty volley from the Gray Came e'er they heard the countersign. Wounded to death, yet patient, calm. They bore him from the battlefield; He blessed his baby with the arm That nevermore a sword should wield. A Christian pure, n hero strong, His genius passes writer's praise. Virginia still in poet's song Shall magnify Old Stonewall's" ways. —Mrs. H. S. Turner, Washington, D. C., in Confederate Veteran. Don't bo afraid to think before yon act. Don't be afraid to tell the truth. It is a- part of your honor. . Don't be afraid of imitators. Ori ginality always bears a trade-mark. Stained Woodwork. Many house* have highly Tarnished yellow pine. If the woodwprk is gone over with ammonia and immediately covered with a stain, a beautiful dull finished wood is the result in any color desired. Olive green, black, brown or silver gray are all suitable*. For $lO a large dining room can be thus Btained by a painter, including the shutters, and the change is decid edly worth the outlay. A blue and green dining room is a delightful combination. There are quite a num ber of most artistic English papers with this combination of colors, and with green stained woodwork and mahogany furniture, a delightful room may be evolved. —Indianapolis News. Care of the Lamp. To prevent a lamp from smoking soak a new lamp wick two or three hours in vinegar. Dry well before using. Lamp wicks in lanterns or carriage lamps that are not In dally use should be treated In this way. Oil in lamps should not be allowed to get down to less than one-half the depth of the reservoir. The wick should be soft and com pletely All the space fol- It, but with out crowding. A lamp should be neither suddenly cooled, nor exposed to draught. In extinguishing the flame the wick should be first turned down, and then a sharp, quick puff blown across and not straight down upon the flame.— New York Press. Hotv to Cook Rice. Few housewives understand how to cook rice so that It puffs into a snowy mass, each kernel distinct. I have found a way. First wash It thor oughly through several cold waters, rubbing the kernels between the hands. This Is to remove all the .loose flour on the outsldo of the grains. After the water runs clear, turn the rice Into a colander, and drain; then lowing one quart of boiling water to a cup of washed rice. Add a tea spoonful of salt, and allow It to come to a boll. Cook steadily for twenty minutes, lifting the rice occasionally with a fork to prevent its sticking. Shake the kettle also for the same purpose, but never stir or mash with a spoon. Take it »rom the fire, pour off the water If any is left, and place It on the back of the stove, In the oven, or even over a pot pf hot water until It finishes swelling. Cooked in this way you will find the rice plump, light and white, each grain distinct and separate.—M. N.,. in Harper's Bazar. >9 Pure Water. To purify water add powderea alum to the water in the proportion of one teaspoonful to every four gal lons. If you will stir this In briskly you will find that all Impurities will be precipitated to the bottom, whilo the rest of the water will be left pure and clear. ~7~~ If you are sitting at a desk or sew ing Bteadlly for hours at a time it is well to rise occasionally, stand erect. Inhale a full breath and raising both hands as high as possible, bring them down on top of the head and bend backward. Repeat two or three times and you can not imagine how much it will rest you. Better than a tray is the llttla drop leg sewing table which Is high enough for the top to rest across the bed while an Invalid Is eating. Turn back the legs on one end of the table, allowing the others to rest on the floor, supporting tome of the weight. This gives ample room to spread out the dishes and the table being rather light the weight is not noticeable. It can be propped at one end with a pil low.—New Haven Register. Cranberry Pie.— Two cups cranbe. rles cut In halves and washed well to take out the seeds. Put in stew pan with one cup sugar, one heaping ta blespoon cornstarch, one-half cup wat er, one tablespoonful butter, one tea spoon vanilla; COOK a few minutes, then bake with two crusts. Bacon and Apples.— -Slice bacon thin and fry It crisp. Transfer it to a platter and keep it hot while you fry thick slices pf unpeeled sweet ap ples in the bacon fst. When thess are tender, drain and put in thg cen tre of a hot platter. Lay the fried bacon about the hot platter. Lay the fried bacon about the edge of the dish, sprinkle sugar over the apples and serve. Orange Puffs.—Cream one-third cup of butter, add one cup sugar, then add two beaten eggs. Add arter nately one-half cup milk and one and three-quarters cups flour, three tea spoonfuls baking powder, a dash of •aIL Beat- thoroughly; turn into buttered individual dishes, and bake twenty minutes. Orange Saruce: JUeat the whites of three eggs stiff, add gradually one cupful powdered sugar, then add Juice, grated riqd of two oranges and one tablespoonful of lemoa Juice. - - - - Jr ww.oMni ---- CREAM OF TARTMi y ■ - {RoYAX) A BakinqPowdar/l ABSOLUTE!.* ; I HARRY THAW IS Mil Gets at Least Temporary Re lease Prom Asylum FURTHER EFFORTS ARE PUNO Aj aKm tilt of .MondAj'a Tiai—if inga on A Writ of Habeas Onf Sued Out In an Effort to Hnn lbs Declared Locally Sane, Ha is Transferred to Jail to Await Final Decision en the Writ. —- Ponghkeepsie, N.
