VOLUME of remi
niscences by a
veteran nuthor
and editor.
George Cary Eg
g 1 e s t o it, tins
made Its appear
ance and receiv
ed much com
mendation from
the critics. The
volume is en
titled "Recollec
tions of n Va
ried Life." which
gives n fair Idea
of the scope of
the narrative. The many parts that
Mr. Eggleston has plnyeu are emorareu
in i. ia rrvpniioptions. Including his ex
perience as n Iloosier schoolmaster, his
life as a young man in Virginia ueiuiu
the civil war, as n Confederate rol
dlcr for four years and then hi"" many
years as a newspaper man unu wncer
in Now York.
Tim render Is brought face to face
with such national characters as Gen
erals Jeb Stuart, Kitzhugh Lee and
iiinni-P''nrd of the Confederate service.
Grant as general and president, au
thors like Franl; u. stocuion, .iouu
TTnv Hilinuntl Clarence Stedman. Wil
liam Cullen Bryant nnd Mark Twain
and newspaper nnd literary men like
Cnrl Schurz, Joseph Pulitzer. Tarke
Godwin and W. M. Lnnan.
Mr. Eggleston wns born in vevny.
Tnrl In 1RM nnd tauirht school in that
cin to T.ntnr he nrnctlced law In Vir
ginia and served throughout the war
in the Confederate army, tnen iook
up writing in various ways, being
literary editor of the New York Even-
GEOIKIK CAIil XdOLKSTOX.
Ing Post for six years; then editor of
the Commercial Advertiser, now the
Globe, of the same city, nnd then went
with Joseph Pulitzer on the World,
where he wrote editorials for eleven
years.
Ad anecdote of John Esten Cooke of
the Confederate army, setting forth tho
mnnncr in which ho waB made a ma
jor, Is typical of Mr. Eggleston's style,
running as follows:
On Stuart's state be (Cooke) distin
guished himself by a certain laughing
nonchalance under fire and by bis eager
readiness to undertake Stuart's most per
ilous missions. It was In recognition of
some specially daring service of that kind
that Btuart gave him bis promotion, and
Cooke used to tell with delight of tho
way In which the great boyish cavalier
did It.
"You're about my size, Cooke," Stuart
said, "but you're not so broad In tht
chest."
"Yes, I am," answered Cooke.
"Let's seo If you are," said Stuart, tak
ing off his coat as if stripping for a box
ing match. "Try that on."
Cooke donned the coat with Its three
stars on the collar and found It a fit.
"Cut off two of the stars," commanded
Stuart, "and wear the coat to Richmond.
Tell the people in the war department to
mako you a major and send you back to
me In a hurry. I'll need you tomorrow."
In "The Doctor's Christmas Eve"
James Lane Allen is said to hnva
written a work worthy of standing
besido "The Choir Invisible" In hla
famous series of Kentucky storlea.
Tho characters are much the same as
are met In "The
Bride of the Mis
tletoe," but the
story Is rated as
being much finer
In caliber. It Is
told in a series of
word pictures
rather than the
usual narrative
and dialogue, but
loses nothing by
this handling.
Tho storv re-
rolves around the ,AUEB I'ANE AIXX(f
love of Dr. Blrney, the faithful coun
try physician, for Mrs. Ousley, "tho
bride of tho mistletoe" nnd wife of his
lifelong friend, nnd the effect it has
on tho children of the two families.
There are no villains In the story, but
there Is the desolate homo of tho un
loved wife. Tho doctor's struggle la
tho mainspring naturally, but the
dramatic features nro furnished large
ly by the half grown children, espe
cially In the case of the doctor's little
son, who, gradually perceiving the
true state of affairs and siding with
hla father, brings affairs to a climax
with one of those terrible remarks
that only a child utters.
SlttfAR MilIWi YOU GROW.'
Americans nnd Britons Increasing
in Height and Wcitfht.
English and American glrla Just
reaching womanhood, and the next
generation in Its early teens, are un
usually tall, standing a head or
mere above their mothers. This has
toon remarked on over and over
again, and has been the subject of
learned disquisitions. Yet no gen-e-Miy
ncceptud cause for tho fact has
been given up to this time.
N'nw comes a London phjslcian of

'sweetness" in this particular enso
the nature of the young ladles Is
not referred to, but their diet. In
f.'Tt. statistics of recent years show I
that Americans and Britons of both

weight. Why? The physician re

Spotting Smokeless Powder.

glasses with the device in question,
which 1. provided with screens of the

Girls Allowances.
Parents should give their girls an
allowance, however small, from their
earliest years. To learn economy it
is necessary to spend, and how can
one spend what one has not got?
Keeping accounts is an admirable
practice, though the great Dr. John
son scoffed at it. You won't eat

In Paris, shoplifting has become a

the Parisian shopkeepers are flndlug

NEW TALES '
THAT ARE Tl
The Point of View.
Mrs. Mary T. Metcalfe, discussing
tho pure food question at the Gotham
club's recent meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria in Now York, smiled and said:
"I heard a food dealer once declare
that chemicals in food must be nil
right since salt Itself was n chemical.
"A queer, argument, eh? It depends,
you see, on the point of view. What

"Once, at Niagara, a gentleman said
to his hotel proprietor, pointing toward
the falls:
" 'Glorious, isn't it?'
" 'Ah, but it ain't what It used to be,'
the proprietor sadly returned.
" 'No? Why not?' said the guest.
"The hotel proprietor shook his head.
" 'Too many hotels,' he said."
A Tactful Niece.
Miss Violet Oakley tells of n lady
friend In Philadelphia who was excep
tionally tactful always, and particular
ly so when she had visiting her an
uncle whose table manners were very
bad. She caused his knife to be
soaped, and when he tried to eat with
It he exclaimed:
"Mary, tills knife tastes soapy."
"That's too bad," was the reply; "try
this one."
"Soapy, too, Mary, Just like the other
one was."
"I'm very sorrj-, uncle, but the city
servants are very careless. Try eating
with your fork. Maybe that is clean."
Peppered ice Cream.
"There's pepper In that," said a res
taurant waiter, pointing to a small
silver shaker he had placed besido a
heaping dish of Ice cream ho was enr-
riug to a guest. "Sure, it's to put on
the Ice cream, too," he replied when
an inquirer failed to see the connec
tion between the two.
"Lots of folks want to put peppe:
on their Ices. You seo. If a mans
stomach Is sensitive the cold cream
hurts him, but pepper Is stimulating
enough to overcome the effects of the
cold. And the funny thing is that you
don't taste tho pepper at all. The Ice
cream Is so cold that It kills the oth
er. If you don't believe it I'll give
you some with pepper, and you'll (lnd
that there's no taste of pepper there
at all."

The Earliest Irish Immigrant
It may interest some of your Celtic
readers to know that certainly ono
Irishman accompanied Columbus on
his voyage of discovery. Ho is so
ubiquitous it Is not surprising that ho
Btiould be found In any country or In
any climate.
In a "list of the persons who were
loft by Columbus on tho Spanish ls
lrnd (Santo Domingo) nnd found
killed by tho Indians when ho re
turned to sottlo it in the year 1493"
(Navarrete) we find tho name of
Gtilllermo Ires; natural de Calnoy.
en Irlanda." It may bo n question
whether "Ires" was Intended for Irish,
but Gainey was ovldently meant for
