Tha hero of the popular sone of "Robin
Adair." which Is attributed to Lady Car
oline Keppel, was Robert Adair, n sur
geon (1710(r17t)0), well known to tho
Loudon fashionable circles or 1110
eighteenth century as the "Fortunate
Irishman. "
Ilia detection in an early amour drovo
him from Dublin to London. On his
way he fell in with a lady of fashion who
had been slightly hurt in n runaway acci
dent. He traveled with her in her car-
riaco to London as Bureical attendant, and
on their arrival was presented with n fee
of 100 guineas and a general invitation to
her house. There he met Lady Carolino
Keppel, daughter of tho second Earl of
Albemarle, who, forgetting hor high line
age, fell desperately in love with tho Irish
surgeon at sight
Tho Albcmarlo family, dismayed at tno
project of such a mesalliance, took Lady
Caroline from London to Bath, and tried
every means to make her forgot her
lovor, but in vain. At last their opposi
tion was withdrawn, and the couple wero
united.
It was at Bath that Lady Carolino Is
said to have composed tho words of
llobin Adair, "sottinir tliom totheplalnt-
ivo Irish tune of "Eileen Aroon, " which
sho liad heard her lover sing.
Tho oricinal sonc of "Eileen Aroon" is
attributed to 0110 Carol O'Daly, an early
Irish bard who nourished apparently bo
foro the tenth century. A Muuster ioet
of tho seventeenth century rewroto tho
words, nud in this form it was translated
by John Austin- nud paraphrased by
Gerald Oriniu. It is in Griffln's para
phrase that tho Koiig is known to this
generation. Lippincott's.

"Flense try the left shoe on. " said the
lady who sat next mo in a shoe store.
why was that? I asked the man who
had served her, when alio departed.
"II0I0 in her stocking. Oh. yes. You
would hardly believe how many ladies
have hole in their stockings. We al
ways know it. It's 'try the light shoo
on,' or tho loft, 'never mind the other.'
Some of them say, 'I'm afraid I havo a
little break iu 1113- stocking. I didn t ex-
ppct to Ret my t,hois trird to-day.' And
ofL'U tho little break horrid' them, hav
ing grown to a big break during tho day.
Oh, yes, little breaks come sometimes,
and the lady herself does not know it till
tho shoo is removed. In tho3o cases sho
um.illy says nothing, hut -just blushes.
The liolo is always a genuine case of acci
dent when n woman takes it that way.
Sometimes they gasp, so that wo shall
Eco how surprised they are, but then
some women protend that. We can
usually fell tho real thing. A successful
sh'e salesman necx peculiar gifts of taw
and the genius of patience, " thU 0110 con
tinued. When a woman lias a really
largo foot it's best to bring ashoo slightly
too small, and then appear surprised th.it
it does not fit. 'Somo foot look small'i
than a really smaller foot' is a good ex
planation of your error. Bring to tin
woman who has n genuinely tiny foot a
shoe too big, nnd then lit down to her.
Nothing pleases hor so much. A sales
man inliuences tho buyer tremendously,
I believe n woman would rather have her
foot praisod than bo told sho is clover
Always humor a woman with a big foot
'You can wear a much smaller shoe than
this, of courso, but you want this for
really comfortablo wear.' That makes-
her want to hug you. "Now York Sun
Mlsuaetl -Words.
Tho richness of the English Lingua"!
consists in tho number and variety of i!
synomyms. Thcso synomyms have 1
shade of difference, but their resemblance
of meaning is sufficient to make thorn
liable to be confounded togethor. Ihc
habit of discriminating the shades of
moaning will guard against this liability
The following eight words, which art-
frequently misused by interchanging one
for tho other, furnish examples of this
over present liability.
Between for among. The word "be
tween" is properly used only when It
object consists of two items. "Among"
should bo used if the object includes
more than two items. Between" Is a
corruption of "by twain,? or"by two. "
A father divides his property between his

Constant means occurring all the time
without intermission. "Frequent" means
occurring often. We frequently hear
constant used to denote events winch oc
cur quito often, but at considerable inter
vals of time.
Custom for habit. A person forms a
habit. A community or a peoplo havo a
custom. It is a habit with most person
to confound these two words. Indeed
tills habit has almost become tho custom
in home communities.
Depot for station. The place where tin
train stops to take In passengors is 1

or not. Tho depot (depository) is a stroiv

AU the girls are going in for health am I
athletics. They must nob they simply
must not appear sick. They must liave

to think that they are not marvels of

Does this yellow dress mako mo look
pale or sick?" asked one girl of another
in tho street last week. "When tho sun
shines upon mo I fancy that tho yellow
of my dress makes my complexion appear
bad. Now notice particularly when wo
como to tho next epon spaco between tha
houses, and tell 1110 honestly if you think
I look the least bit sallow. "
"What shall you do with the dress, if
It is unbecoming? "
"Why, throw it away, or put it away,
or give it away, or do something elso with
It, of courso. I couldn't afford, for- tho
sake of my position In society, to wear
anything that makes me apjiear In deli
cate health. I shouldn't bo invited any
where. It wouldn't do nt all, you know ;
it really wouldn't do. It is so out of style
to bo sick or delicate or even frail iu ap
pearance. "
And so tho girls to insure tho health
which is now so necessary to their social
standing havo provided themselves with
chatelains upon which hang half a dozen
boxes of gold or silver, set with jewols
and in which is a collection of medicine,
tonics, and mora or less stimulating
drugs. A gold chatclaino with six or
seven gold bottles or boxes hanging thero-
from containing quinine capsules war
ranted to hold tho Jiangs of la grippe nt
bay, digestion tablets, laxativo lozongos,
purgative pellets, cough drops, silver
coated peppermint cachous, glycerine
cubes, and a variety of tonic pills to keep
the system in general good order.
And so, tho girls of to-day, besides do
ing ovorylhlng elso for herself, has taken
tho reins of her own physical system in
her own hands and bids denanco to tho

that sho knows what is what, and bow

An Italian ethnologist, In speaking of
tho peculiarities of tho Sicilians, says:
"Thero can bo no doubt that thero Is a
Punic strain in tho blood of tho Sicilian
peonlo. In ancient times tho Island of
Malta, which was long held by tlie Car
thaginians, was U10 half way station ho
t-ween Carthago and Sicily, and Sir Georgo
Boweu has recently shown tliat the Mai
tese aro about tho Last surviving remnant
of tho Carthaginian branch of the old
Phoenician people. Tho baso of tho Mal-
teso language as spokon to-day is Cartha
ginian, which was spoken by the father
of Hannibal, who was at ono time gov
ernor of Malta. '
"Many of tho Maltesoof tha Phceuican
stock crossed to Sicily in early times and
mingled with the Latins there for gener
ations ; and somo of tho peculiarities of
the modern Sicilians that do not belong
to other Italians and that havo recently
been much spoken of iu tho United
States, where thero aro now many Sicil
ians, are tho outgrowth of this Phooni
ciau strain in their blood. "

Coal screenings and dust too fine to

dust is used, and tho process consists in
drying tho screenings and then mixing
them with a composition which makes a

through slowly revolving presses and
shaped into eggs. At each revolution COO
of these fuel eggs aro rolled out upon tho

"For tho past eight years, I linvo been
severely afflicted with Catarrh, 110110 of the
many remedies I tried affording me any re
lief, My digestion was considerably Im
paired, and my sleep disturbed by phlegm
dropping Into hiy throat. In September
last I resolved to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
betan to use It nt once, nnd am glad to
testify to a great Improvement in my health."
Frank Teson, Jr., engineer, 171 West
Fourth streot, Now Yolk City.
"My daughter, 10 years old, was nflllctort
with Catarrh from her fifth year. Last Au
gust sho was
TREATED WITH
Ayer's Sarsapaillla, and after three months
of this tacatment jhe was completely em ed.
It was a most extraordinary case, as any
druggist hero can testify." Mrs. 1). V

A Confederate Snrrlwor Who hril n
Irederal Oh.rgr.
Major J. W. McClung, of Sail l-'r u
clswo, tells a Globe-Dtmocrat
spomletit: I think I am the only mi,-
vivor of the Confederacy who led a 1 I-
eral charge. This slucuiar tliinw I
and here's how it was : ItrV3att!i ..t-
tlo of Selma. I waa oftrrylnnr ord. i . a:id
had to pass straight through tin t--wi.
It was terribly hot and I had my en. !.
We hail captured n wagon train u f -v
days beforo, and out of the "i"il; I had
appropriated a Wand new Federal cv-
alry hat, so I did not look uniike a 1 . 11
keo oflleer.
In the main street of Selma I met An
aid named Brown a gallant fellotv. Hi
shouted to mo that our lino liu I ' -ii
broken and that Armstmu mis fn liir-i
back, and told mo to get 011 1 or I'd U f k
Just tlicu Armstrou2 aud. In i,.u . xl-
loped past, and tl.o general rL-n;ii .u"
us called out: "You must hurry u.n. of
this, gentlemon. They are close 0.1 our
heels. "
Brown had a dispatch for Colonel .T.r m-
sou, and ho said I. , would Walt in 1
liver it if ho died for It. While . n -re
talking, pistols in Land, a column nf
Federal cavalry swung into the Kii--, t
where we stood, coming full liit. We
were so taken by surprise that wo couU
not getaway. Uron had on anew uni
form that had just run the blockade, nud
he was a good target. Half a dozen
troopers dashed out from the lino to
catch him.
Wo were riding for our lives, Brown a
litUs in the lead, so that it looked as
though I was chasing him. The pursuers
pasFcd me and overhauled Brown, and I
caught a glimpse of him ns I passed,
down on his back working his revolver,
with a group of the enemynbout him, all
shooting down at him and cutting at him
with their sabers.
By this thno I was at tho head of t'ie
column, which had not slackened its
mad pace. For at least a mile I rodn at
their head, exchanging remarks about ths
rstreat of tho "roba" and joining in tha
cries of "Hurry j ljt's catcli Armstrong. "
As we came to a side street that ran right
down to the river I dashed out and
swerved Bharply, and then I rode for
dear life. In a second they wero after
me, and tho bullets sang all mound 1110.
I never halted, but plunged off a low
pier into the water and swam straight
across to where our peoplo wore trying to
form a new front. The water torn by
a perfect rain of bullets, but I was not
scratched, and my home wa3 only Kliuhtiy
wounded. I would llko much to know
tho namo of my Federal commander.
The Jews In riusaln.
Tho faot that tho Russian Jews ara
usually hotter educated in libcr.il Ideas
than tho majority of the czav's subject,
and ars to bo found among tho reformers
and legal revolutionists of the Itu sian
empire, has sarved to incite tho Mu&curi. e
press to a renewal of the vhafcn that
Nihilism has its focus in the Ru-wo-Jewish
population. The murder of Oenernl
SeilversEolT, a Itui lan ag?nt in "Franco,
who was shot in h!i room nt the hotel
whero he was residing in Paris, presuma
bly in reyengo for the death sentence
pai3ed on certain Nihilists a fow days
previous in St. l'utorsburg, has doubtloss
given fresh credenz a to the idea, especially
as a few Hebrews wore found auunj
the Nihilist ooujpir.itors. Yet it Is not
fair to accusa tho Jews, as a cuu, of
NihilUm, without studyiug the Ru-o
Hebrew queaklgn, Tho St. retiraburj
government appointed a cptuinissioa to
obtain accurate iuforniation about tho
Jewish population, and somo reports of
that commission have already been
handed to the chancellor. Tho St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Parisian news
paper Le Temps, baring possessed him
elf of some of the figures and conclu
sions of this report, has sent them to
that paper. These show that iu tho 13
governments or provinces of Russia
where Hebrews aro permitted to livo
there aro 293,007 yews following mauiial
or industrial occupations, There are,
consequently, in Russia, a proportionately
larger number of Jews than of Christians
exercising an "Industrial trade,
"remosslennlks'' is the word in the offi
cial reports, signifying those who woik
at a manual trade. The etalistias also
show that the Hebrews in Russia support
willingly the military charges imposed
on every cittizen: forduring the period
1875-188G, out of 740,101 mnn drafted for
military servicS. tliera were 37,533 Jews :
thus the number of Hebrews who go
through military serrloo is equal pvopur
tionately to that of the 110 11 Jewish ponu
lation, and this in a country whiih only
grants them very rtutricled rights. The
report of this coiiimiium, when pub
ltshed, will, perhaps, do away wllh tli3
prejudice pgalnijj czars Hebtutv
subjocts.

Beware of the beds! There is a eani
tary enthusiast at Iluddcrsneld, E-Jug-land,
who is warning the world of the
frightful consequences of neglecting this
maxim. It has been estimated, he hi)k,
that 20,000,000 beds ars iu use hi this
country, of which 10,009,000 have nut
been opened for 10 years, and have dur
ing that time remained wholly ttnpuri
lied. As this apostlo of "bedroom sani
tation" puts it, "all sorts land conditions
of poopla have used them.
Sometimes thoy have been beds of sick
ness; deathbeds a vast number of thorn
have been, some many times. But, us
)io mournfully observes, "as soon as
vacated they are again ready to do their
insidious work, " Seriously, the common
neglect of the duty of opening and
cleansing the beds can baldly fail to liq
productive of disease. Wo might do
worse In thie regard than follow the
practice on the Coutiuent, whero the,
bed cleaner, with Ilia twe sticks far beat:
