WHEN GRANT WAS POOR.

Time In His Career When He Needed the Wherewithal. General W. H. L. Barnes, one of the -@pecers of the San Francisco bar, at a gpeeting cf the California commandery i the Military Order of the Loyal Le- wap'cu, told the following story about general Grant. It was told years ago to neral Barnes by Captain Richard L. Bien, once a clerk in the office of the Jmited States. quartermaster at San 5 Tancisco, and General Barnes recently ‘PPopied it from Captain Ogden’s diary. Bi was that when Grant resigned his mMMission as captain, at the age of 32, pong then in Oregon, he went to San Tancisco on his way home and present- to Captain Ogden a certificate of per em service on acourt martial amount- Pe to about $40. The certificate was in- = tly drawn, and Grant with a look g f despair asked Captain Ogden’s per- an to sleep on the lounge in the '8 Office, saying he had not a cent =. Shame, He slept on the rickety @“e lounge, and Ogden agreed to cash @ certificate personally and to send it kK to Oregon for correction.

THE QUEENS’ INFLUENCE

As the Queen grows in years we seem to realize more and more that her } erronal influence in foreign affairs is very consider- able. A recent article in the London Daily News shows that Her Majesty has alro , had a long standing and eometimes active eympathy with the advocates of a feder- ation of the Empire. The writer says: “In the interesting series of articles which Mr. Poultney Bigelow is contributing to Harper’s Magazine we find the following testimony, from that unbiased eye witness, to the native estimate cf English rule. “Every chief of the Basuto couutry,” he says, “and throngh him every black war- rior—I might almost say every black man from ihe Zambesi to the Cape—is brought up in the faith that there is, far away, a white Queen, who, like a goddess of the ancients, can be invoked for the protection of the black. English rule in South Africa bas been rough and ready in many cases, but 80 far asthe black man is concerned, has been vastly more humane than thatof the black man towards his fellow blacke. Even today the black man prefers English rule to that of Portugal, France or Ger- many, and this not merely because the English Government has more jeaslous)y guarded the rights of black natives, but because Ungland is credited wiih greater powers of enforcing ber wishes than any other Government that has so far attempt- ed to colonize the ‘Dark Continent.’” There are two persons who may be called the pioneers in spreading this cult of the Great White Queen. Ore is the veteran Sir George Grey, the best of all south African Governors. The other is Her Majesty the Queen hereelf, who was ever Sir George Grey’s warm admirer. The personal interest which the Prince of Wales is displaying in South African affairs just now is hereditary. His royal mother has always exhibited the same, aod forty years ago, when Cabinets and Parliaments were blind to the trend of events, the Queen warmly espoused those ideas of expansion and federation which are now the common property of us all. The relations of the Queen and Sir George Grey, as bearing on this point, form the subject of an interest- ing chapter in the curreat number of the Review of Reviews.

DRESS PARADE. ‘ aes cs Many of the newest bodices are draped on the cross and are pointed back and front.

In dressy evening toilets the pretty but- terfly sleeves ure very frequcntiy made te match the skirt.

Toques, by which are meant bonnets without strings, are just now more Cs- teemed than huts for dressy afternoon wear.

New very pretty inch wide squares of

open canvaslike silk that require a taffeta ,

lining are among the novelties in summer fabrics.

New dress skirt models are finished with flounccs at the hem, with row after row of tiny frills, with long overskirts caught up at one side.

There is a rage for tucked bodices of silk er very light wool materials, and for the summer organdies, swiss, muslins, india linons and other thin textiles.

The toreador waistband, cut on the cross and formed of three, five or seven appar- ently carcless folds, is a most charming finch to a ecft, full fronted bodice.

Very beauillul natural looking violets, with leaves and stems apparently a trifle wilted, exquisitely shaded and very faintly perfumed, aro still the great rage as a gar- niture for clegant spring hats and bonnets. »

Ceatsand skirts of tweed and cherio?' are renewing their youth, and instead of representing a vogue that is at least a doz- en years old, might, judging by their pres- ent very fashionable attitude, be almost entering on their first season. :

Among the minor adcitions to spring gowns imported or made by high class mcdistes arc noted very small pad bustles and rather narrow graduated dress ex- tenders, formed variously of moreen covy- ered with silk, mchair or rustle percaline.

Entire skirts are cut in circular shape, then accordion plaited. Other shapes are gored or have fancy side panels, and so on ad infinitum, and there is neither shzpe, height, style nor taste that cannot be ex- actly suited this season.—New York Post.

THE PASSING SHOW. |

The modern warship is a very dangerous looking machine—in a drydock.—Indian- apolis Journal.

After the run on the banks made by the rivers thcy are making deposits again.— Pittsburg News.

The X ray is young yet, of course, but it is doing enough work to entitle it to be nemed pretty soon.—Pittsburg Times.

According to official figures, lately pub- lished, ‘'76,000 persons in Vienna live, sleep and cook in one room.’’ It must be a very large room.—Chicago Tribune.

Paul Krnger made no impression when he appealed to British honor, but when he asked for money cOmpensation he hit John Bull where he lives.— Buffalo Express.

The Sons of Delaware in Philadelphia have decided, as the result of a debate, that the whipping post in their native state ought to be abolished. That settles it.—Wilmington News.

One trouble about the United States ariny and militia is that they have too many kinds of rifles to choose from, and none of them warranted to discourage a soldier about fighting after he is shot.— St. Louis Republic.

An article entitled ‘‘How a Woman Should Conduct Herself at Home’’ was written by a lady living in Springfield, QO., and its publication brought her a hus- band from Whitehall, N. Y. If you want a husband, write fer one.—Utica Press, .

A North Dakota farmer claims that strips of newspapers soaked in sour milx and fed to hens greatly increase their lay- ing qualities. This explains the flavor of some of the spring chickens. They have not been fed on the religious exchanges.— Minneapolis Journal.

THE POULTRY YARD.

With early broilers sex cuts no figure. Dark feathers usually cover a dark skin. Usually fat fowls are uncertain breeders.

Lazy hens lay on fat, but busy hens lay eggs.

Coal oil applied to the roosts will kill all kinds of parasites. Hens that are laying regularly should have a little extra food. Provide the laying hens with plenty of shell producing material. ; Young puillets rarely make good moth- ers. Old hens are better. Tobacco stems put in with the straw in

the nests will prevent lice.

Fowls require a variety of food. They get very tired of any one kind.

In selecting the breeding cock see that he is of good size, broad chest, strong wings and legs and carries his head high.

If the rooster is faulty, do not breea from him, even if the pullets are of the standard. Everything in point of plumage and sym- metry depends upon the sire.

If an egg is chilled, its vitality will be destroyed. For this reason care should be taken to gather the eggs frequently, espe- cially when they are wanted for hatching, —t. Louis Republic.
