"I know I'd oughtn't to mind it.'
whispered Lucinda repentantly to her
self as she pushed another pit- into the
oven. "John an' rue done been mar
ried six months now, an' 'cept for one
thing I ain't got a sorrer."
She shut the door resolutely on tin
pie, as though to inclose her secret care
in the oven also, and then went deftly
around t lie sunny kitchen putting house
wifely touches here and there.
No prettier girl than Lucinda was
ever born In quiet little Greenville, j
She was so pretty indeed that when |
John Logan, a widower of thirty-eight,
married her and bore her away to his
home in a Georgia village there were
many to predict that Lucinda woultf
speml most of her time "primping."
lint no girl was ever more anxious
to win her liu band's praise, and it
was the qua 1 ideations attending that
praise that troubled her sorely.

To th- Memory 112
MARTHA I.OGA.V.
i In Remembrai ■ c of Her Unexam- j
pled Virtues as a Wife
Merely the word "virtues" was a
crown of praise indeed. Ilut "unex
ampled" before it gave crushing
weight to John Logan's constant re
cital of his dead partner's perfections.
No matter how flaky I.ucindu's pies
and biscuit, the utmost sin- could win
from John was a gentle—
"Nearly as good as Martha's, dear.
Jest keep on—-you'll set there."
Once when Lucinda, provoked over
some little thing, raised her sweet
voice a trifle shrilly John said slowly:
"Martha used to get fretted some
times, I guess, but she had a motto
she kept pasted up on the wall. Took it
from n play actor's book, but 'twas
good. Ran about like this: 'Her voice
was low and soft allers—an excellent
thing in woman.' "
And Lucinda had bins lied scarlet and
lowered hers. A hatred which she felt
to be inexpressibly wicked swelled at
last in the girl's heart. Often when she
passed the cemetery on her way from j
the village -tore -he f■ !t an urgent de- :
sire togo in and defy the deeper with !
scornful words.
She put away the thought again and
again, but at last it overcame her. One
musky -uniiner ■ citing, John not being
due till late, she found herself standing
beside Martha's stab !y tomb in the
cold moonlight.
"I hate you!" she cried. "I Late you
you detest; ble woman!"
The sound of her voice echoed
through the pale little congregation of j
the dead and terrified her, but -he ral j
lied.
"Yes; I mean it! I want you to hear! i
I don't believe you are in heaven. |
You're under that stone, putting ideas i
In John's head every day!"
"Ahem," said a voice dryly.
"Why, I'ncle Lemuel!" gasped Linin
da, recognizing a village patriarch uni
versally called by that name. "Was
you listening?"
"Don't have to do much llstenin'
when folks is shoutin' like you was," ;
returned I'ncle Lemuel, still more dryly.
Lucinda hung her pretty head, then
burst into a Hood of tears.
"She takes it all—all!" she wailed.
"No matter how patient I am, I kain't
tie as patient as she was nor so low
voiced nor such a c-c-c-cook."
Uncle Lemuel seated himself on a
•convenient cone t of the tombstone. j
"\S that so'-" be remarked, with aj
curious Inflection in his voice. ' Waal, i
I kin tel! you -omethin' of her cook
in'
Lucinda sat upright, with blazing
eyes.
"Be quiet." she said, beside herself.
Was she to hear Martha's praises even
now ?
"Her cakes," went on I'ncle Lemuel,
untroubled, "would have made ex'leni :
military fort'lications; her pie crust
wuz n cross between injer rubber nn'
glue, sin" fer her b - nits"— lie paused

"TTn-cle Lemuel." stammered Lucin

I nele l cmucl broke into a lit of
laughter that rang scandalously clear
through the graveyard After a short
pause Lucitiii i. among whose rare gifts
was a sense of humor, joined him
II was !i o'clock before John Logan
came home. As he sat down to the
daintiest of «upp< is and fell to. Lucin
dy. sitting opposite with dancing eyes
<tnd rose pink check-, asked smilingly:
"How's your coffee. Jot -i V"
"Best I" he began. Then, true to
bis formula, he said kindly, "Nigh as
good as Marthy's used to be."
"John," s;till Lucinda, with a sudden
gravity, yet belied by her still dancing
eyes, "John, I've sad news for you."
Then, as lie hold his cup in midair, she
added mournfully, "Martha is dead!"
The coffe-. cup went crashing on the
floor as John sprang up.
"Dead! What do you mean, Lucin
da? You know she's been dead five
years!"
Lucinda smiled serenely.
' No. she hasn't, John, but she died

A MOUSE THAT : SINGS."
Mint Who « nuiilil It Say* It Warble*
Like u Canary.
Singing mice are rare, but a corre
spondent writes from Yorkshire asking
whether wo can give him any informa
tion about a specimen he captured.
lie adds, "It has been warbling just
like a canary for the last mouth in our
workshop, and although 1 have it in a
cage it still continues to sing."
That mice do occasionally "sing" is
undeniable. Some observers say that
their "song" is softer, sweeter and
more delicate than that of the canary,
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as to compare it to
that of a warbler or even a piping bull- |
finch. Hut the question as to why they
lift up their voices in this tuneful man- '
ner still remains to be answered.
Three explanations have been sug- j
gested:
First.—That all mice are potential vo- j
calists and can learn to sing, by imita- ,
tion. from singing birds.
Second.—That many mice possess an :
exceptional talent for mimicry, together i
with a keen sense of the ludicrous.
Third. That some mice are subject
to bronchitis and that the so called j
"song" is only ttie wheezing of rodents
which suffer from the distressing com
plaint.
A certain amount of color is given to
the last theory by the fact that a iuousb
which was caught by the neck in a
wire trap not sufficiently strong to kill
it "sang" while its throat was under
compression, but never again during ;
its subsequent life as a captive.—Lou- j
don Mail.
JADE AS MEDICINE.

Everything in China of any rarity ;
whatever is certain to be dragged into j
the pharmacopoeia of the Chinese physi- |
cian. Jade is no exception to the rule. ■
It may be swallowed as a powder or in i
little pieces the size of hemp seed for j
various stomachic complaints. Even ;
pockmarks and scars may be obliterat- i
ed by being daily rubbed with a piece j
of pure jade. It is silso considered to I
be of a moist nature, and we read of !
an imperial favorite of the eighth ten |
tury who was cured of excessive thirst ,
by holding a fish shaped jade in her !
mouth. And so when the tomb of the !
great commander. Ts'ao Ts'ao, third
century, A. D., was opened 200 years ;
after his death, among the usual ob- j
jects found in such circumstances was |
a large silver bowl full of water. That j
the water had not dried up ac
counted for by the presence in the bowl
of a jade boy three feet in height.
Jade is chiefly brought from the
K'un-lun. or Koulkun, range, between
the desert of Gobi and Tibet; from
Khoten or Ilcld in Yarkand, and from i
Lan-t'ien, on the Belurtagli mountains. \
still farther to the west, ln the tenth
century, A. I>., the latter was actually
known as the Jade hills district,
though it does not appear that any jade
has ever been found there.—Professor
Herbert A. Giles in Nineteenth Cen
tury.
VALUE OF LEMONS.
Hot* 'I lit" l-'rult May He I Ned F or
Hex my and Health.
It is now timely to administer to all
women a little sermon on the value of
l«ulions ou the dressing table, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, if you appre
ciated its many uses you would have a
lemon always at hand. In the morn
ing. before you are out of bed, its use
fulness begins not merely as a beauti
tier, but its a medicine, for the juice of
half a lemon squeezed into a tumbler
of water (no sugar) is a most excellent
cure for bilious complaints.
The fingers or linger nails may have
stains that refuse to yield to soap and
water, in which case a little lemon
Juice will usually prove successful. Be
fore manicuring the nails you should
always soak them for at least live min
utes in a basin of water in which are
a few drops of lemon juice. The skin
which grows so offensively around ttie
nails is pushed back by orange wood
sticks first dipped in lemon juice. And
as for the teeth, no more effective
cleanser or purer mouth wash can lie
found than half a dozen drops of lemon
juice in a wineglass of water.
After washing the hands lemon Juice
and water make a splendid bleach, but
it Is a fact that lemon juice pure
darkens the skin, so do not make the
mistake of rubbing In plain lemon
Juice instead of diluting it with water.
Lemon juice and glycerin are good for
chapped hands.
If you have a hoarse voice in the
morning lemon juice squeezed into snft
sugar till it is like a sirup and a few
drops of glycerin added relieves the
hoarseness nt once, while a cold on the
chest or consumption itself finds a
formidable enemy in the following pre
scription: Squeeze the juice of three '
lemons over three whole egas. shell and

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence, j
The new congressmen like togo to
the White House receptions. Take any
reception immediately after a new con
gress convenes, and all the new lueni
bers are always on hand. Some of
them have evening clothes made or
rented for the occasion, while others
are not so particular and attend the
receptions in frock coats or even the
ei taways of ordinary day wear. The
ii w congressman and his wife fall In '
line in the ••subway" or "tunnel" or j
whatever it is that leads toward the
White House proper They are pulled
and jammed along with ambassadors,
senators, representatives, government j
clerks, the Washington smart set and,
in fact, with all others who are on the
invitation list. They crowd up the
stairs; they remain In line for an hour;
they arc finally announced to the presl- j
dent; they shake hands and then are !
pushed into the east room. Here they j
wander about looking decidedly uncom- j
fortable and ill at ease. Presently they j
see some one they know, generally from j
their own state. Then they form a 1
group and make an effort to appear j
cheerful and think that they are hav- j
ing a good time. This is at the first
reception. Before tlie season Is over
they have "caught on."
CoNtly Local I'rlde.
Representative Nic Longworth Is a
sadder and a wiser man than when, i
not long ago, lie met Representative j
Gardner of Massachusetts in the Re- i
publican cloakroom. "For the honor j
and the glory of Cincinnati." he wager- i
ed a bunch of money, which promptly ;
went into the inside pocket of the Bay
State congressman.
A conversation started about the man
ufacture of shoes, just how It does not
matter. Mr. Longworth precipitately
asserted that outside the Lynn district
Cincinnati shod more people than any
other congressional district in the broad
land.
"I'll lay you fifty it doesn't," rejoined
Mr. Gardner, with alacrity.
"Well, just 'for the honor and the
glory of Cincinnati,'" said Mr. Long
worth, using a phrase which is very
popular among all loyal Cincinnati peo
ple, "I'll lay you a like sum it does."
There was an eager consultation of
statistics of the last census as affecting
the making of boots and shoes in divers
parts of the country. Thereby it was
established that the Haverhill district,
which Mr. Gardner represents, ranks
second, or next to the Lynn district,
and that Cincinnati comes in third,
with a product about $111,000, 000 less
than the product of the city on the
banks of the Merrimac.
Site of I'otaskl Statue.
The commission authorized to select
I a site for the statues of Count Pulaski
and Von Steuben, for which appropria
tions of $50,000 each were made by the
Inst congress, consisting of Secretary
Root, Senator Wetinore and Repre
sentative MeCloary, the chairman of
the senate and house committee on li
brary, and T. M. lleliuski. chairman of
the control committee of the Allied
Polish Societies of America, lias select
ed the triangle at the junction of Penn
sylvania avenue and Thirteenth street
northwest for the statue of Pulaski.
Mr. Casimir Chodinski of New York
has been selected by the commission as
the sculptor for the Pulaski statue. lie
Is a Polish American and is required to
furnish the commission with a model
1 of an equestrian statue of Pulaski
within twelve months. If this is satis
factory a full sized model in clay is to
i be furnished within the succeeding ,
twelve mouths, and, if approved, the
\ statue iti bronze is to be completed dur
i ing the third year.

Ex-Senator I'ugh of Alabama, feeble
and reminiscent, stalks about the
' streets of Washington this winter 1
watching the passing throng. There j
are few men at the national capital
whose public life runs back as far as j
bis. He was n presidential elector in j
IS4B, when Tyler was elected, and
again in In."i<>, as an elector, lie voted
for Buchanan. He has held so many
offices that he cannot remember them
all. A few days ago he wandered up
to the door of the house of representa- j
! tives and was about to enter when one
1 of the doorkeepers turned hiui back.
"But I am au ex-senator. I am en- j
titled to the floor," protested the old
man. The doorkeeper reminded bins
that ex-senators were entitled only to
the floor of the senate. I'ugh walked
dejectedly back to the other end of
the capitol. Just as he entered the sen
ate cloakroom lie recalled that, after
all, he was entitled to the floor of the
house as a former member, lie was
elected lo the house of representatives
just before the war and resigned at the
outbreak of the civil war, but he had
forgotten till about it.
OH ii the Floor.
In the lobby «»f the house the other
day Representative Mann, who has
charge of the Hepburn pure food bill
on the floor of the house, entered arm
ed with samples of pure and adulterat
ed concoctions, bottled and canned.
He dropped a bottle of olive oil on
the marble floor. (Jeneral Bingham of
Pennsylvania, the father of the house,
came along and after some contortions
quite surprising in so old a man fell
heavily. He was helped to his com
nilttee room. He was not hurt.
Chairman Cooper of the insular com
mittee came along next. When he got
up he had well wiped up the oil. Then
the spot was roped off until the porters
could clean the floor.

New Linen Fabrics.
The beauty and originality of the
new linen and cotton fabrics for the
coming .spring are something to excite
enthusiasm. Unquestionably the fa
vorites will be the cotton and silk com
binations, many of which are unsur
passed in silks.
Of these the airy material called silk
tissue and the embroidered mulls are
especially lovely. A pale blue mull
embroidered with tiny crescents is
charming.
An exquisite fabric is printed and
bordered French mull. This is wide
enough for a long skirt, and the bor
der, of course, forms the trimming
around the hem. An example has a
white ground covered with loose vio
lets. pinkish mauve in color, the bor
der. twelve inches wide, showing deep
er tones of violet and mauve.
These bordered mulls, eight yards of
which make a generous dress pattern,
come in two qualities.
Bordered linens are also shown. ■
Gowns made from them have that ap
pearance «>f exclusiveness which be- |
longs to dress patterns or robes.

Dull silver and gold ornaments which
have been so much used as an embel- j

linery earlier in the season are now
quite eclipsed by new bright gold and j

ornaments are in the form of thick j
cords ending in either large or small
tassels and wide hands of woven gilt, j
Large gold eabochous made of finely I
plaited gold gauze ribbon are being
used as centers for white tulle, black
velvet and other rosettes for the adorn
ment of both wraps and hats. One
Mack velvet toque has a lover's knot

"1 considered that the day of trial !

'■ the old fellow, as every one else was.
Hut the time had come for me at least
to play the man. So I mustered up
j courage and informed the captain that
1 desired the main topsail tilled away
in order that we might close up with

' would shoot any man who dared to
touch a rope without his orders. He
would go his own course and had no
' idea of trusting himself with 'a blasted
nutshell,' and then he went below for
his pistols.
"I called my right hand man of the
crew and told him of my situation. I j
also informed him that I wanted the
main topsail filled. He answered with
a clear 'Aye. aye, sir,' in a manner that
was not to be misunderstood, and my
confidence was perfectly restored.
"Front that moment 1 became master
• of the vessel and immediately gave all
i necessary orders for making sail, no

Ills Ardann* Ontlrt.
Captain Sigsbee tells of a conversa
tion he once overheard between two
marines who were arguing as to who
had the least work to do on board a
man-of-war.
"It's the chaplain," said the first.
"How'd you make tl at out*/" asked
the second.
"I'.eeause he ain't got no work to do
and till ilay to do it In."
The second marine snorted his dis
gust. "You ain't got it right, Jack,"
Siiid he. "It's the cap'n of marines."
"How's that?"
"Well, me boy, as you say, the chap
lain's got notliin' to do and all day to
do it in, t»ut the cap'n of marines he
ain't got anything to do and all day
to do it in and a lieutenant of uiurin*!*
to help him do it."
Ilou to Cure I u wornnia.
One of the best and simplest cures
for insomnia Is said to be the odor of
raw onions. They should be crushed to
a pulp in order to free all the Juice.
Smell this substance for ten minutes
after retiring. It is said to quiet the
most nervous person and relax the most
overwrought nerves. It is hardly pleas
ant. but is said to be efficacious.

It w:i< the in.i in Ireland at one i
time thai after an execution tin* body :
slioulil haiij; an hour, but tin- sheriff,
froiu mistaken l< nity. would on some
occasions IOIIU away after the prisoner
had been turned off, while the friends
of the culprit would hold up their com
panion liy the waistband of the trousers ,
t- i that thi' rope would no! pri >- ii|»in j
his throat.
When the hour was expired the j
deceased was put into a cart, which j
was driven at a pi I lop along the stony |
road. The jolting generally brought j
the prisoner to. One such recovery
was complete that the resuscitated !
man sat up in the coffin and gave three !
cheers.
»>ne of his friends was so shocked at j
this indecent conduct that he lilt the
ex-corpse Oil the head with his shillalah
and finished him. The question then
arose whether the assailant could be
tried for murder, hut it was ruled that
no man could be successfully charged |
with the murder of a man who was al
ready dead in lavs. Pearson's Weekly.
