All the points that I touch are the «dear that have been presented - to me by questions that have been asked If you are going to be on the trrln * more than one night it is best to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Or course it is advisable for you to have a sleeper even If you are only going to be there one night. Get yourself a k-.mona, one that will not be conspicuous for it is bad taste to wear the sort that •M attract attention, and when the time comes to retire you can slip off your shoes and then got in your berth and undress. Leave on the garments next your akin, and if you are inclined to be slow you may keep on a abort There la a ne: that hangs across the toner side of the terth and to that you 7 can put your collars and small articles. Different people have different places for, their valuables. The beet plan is not to travel With them in sight, and your skirts can be folded and put across the foot of the bed. Slip on your kimona and go to sleep. When morning comes, slip on your clothe* and go to the dressing room early, and don't keep it any longer than you car. help, for nothing shows thor ough selfishmore than one’s conduct to a sleeping car. Most probably the ■ porter will have your seat ready for you when you come out; if not he will show you to a seat or you can drop tn to most any that is fixed up. My plan is to give the porter a dime when «I get on the train or the first time he floes anything for me. and tell him where I am going and that I want him to help me, and that I won't forge*, him when I get off This may not be the Independent way that some have, bat I notice that I get •long about as well as the most of them do; I never have found the place in which a little money and a pleasant word will not nnoothe things, and that last quarter is remembered There is a much debated question as to whether It is better or not to take a suit case; my advice is to always travel with i change of clothes and at least one ex tra waist One never knows what will ’ happen and it is safer to have the bird in hand, or the plumage tn the suitcase than to risk getting to the trunk. I have known trunks to be lost a week. In fact, if I can < leave tbe trunk at home and put all I can in the suitcase;, trunks are a nuisance when one Is trav eling. If your suitcase is heavy, a nickel or a dime pays a boy to help you. But. of course, there must not be a col lection of suitcases, and a small trunk is nice for one's clothes. When you get the ticket you can check the trunk as far as the ticket Is good for; if you have to buy another ticket on tbe way you will need a new check.

Once I was traveling with a girl. We‘ stopped over night in a certain city and after the 7 o'clock dinner I had callers. When I started to my room I thought I would see how she was getting along. Imagine my horror to find her door open at 9 o'clock. I said something to her and she replied that she was afraid to stay in a room with the door locked. Before I thought I said that in that case it would have been better for her to have stayed at home, that a bed room door open at any time in a hotel was n<? .proper, and in the evening it was risky to say the least of it. Lock your door when you start downstairs and if yon are going out for a walk or visit leave your key with the clerk, then he will be able to give you any message that may come in your absence. Go to the office as lictie as possible, ask the elevator boy «he way to the dining room. In large hotels ask the price of the rooms before you take one, always go to the best hotel if you are in a strange city. Some of the others may be all right but you cannot run the risk. Tell tbe clerk that you do not want his most expensive room and it will be all right. See whether you can get your rooms on the European plan or no«t. If not see whether the meals are ala carta or charged whether you are there or 'not. If you are not going to be there long after breakfast as good away as any is to dress for the street before going to breakfast. See that your suit case is packed and ready for the boy to take down, then when you eat your break fast you can go to the office and pay your bill and let the boy git your be longings. Don’t leave them in the hall, tbe parlor or anywhere that is not under the supervision of some one con nected with tbe house. I have heard of people going in hotel parlors and walking off with whatever was in sight. And here comes the question of tips. Some will say that they never give the servants anything. Some are too lavish. I have been told that 10 per cent Is the proper amount to give. I usually leave a dime the first meal that I take. After that I do not give anything until I am ready to go away. Then I let common sense guide me. You will know how much the servants have done for you. Lastly, as the preacher says, let your department be as ladylike as your train ing permits. I say that advisedly, for I never think that a girl who has had really good home training is going to forget it when she is among strangers. Loud talking, flashy colors and trying to attract strangers is more a want of common sense than - anything else and such persons are not altogether respon sible for their behavior.

LOREETA. IS THTB YOUR AMBITION’ Bear Household: A few weeka ago. while reading a popular weekly for young people my eye chanced to fall upon a short sketch of a young man's life.

Last July Barrel (my oldest boy) was plowing and was bitten by a very large copperhead on the ankle. He was bver a half mile from home. A man who was at work near ran to him. took fats whip and corded his leg above tbe bite, and they brought him home. Right here let me thank the one who wrote in the Household to immerse a snake wound or maddog bite In coal oil. I remem bered it and filled a bucket with it till it would cover the wound, then phoned for a doctor. AU night we thought he would die: but he pulled through and could walk in three weeks. Then, the first day- of March, he was playing at school and fell, pulling a larger boy down on him. A small stump was under his leg. no It was broken in two places in the knee and thigh. And how do you suppose fa got home? Why, the teacher put him on a mule (he had ridden to school), with his little brother behind him. and sent him the mile. I could hardly get him off and in the bouse. His leg waa Jnat dangling. The doctor had to come eight miles and it was swollen so it was hard to set right. The knee has knit very well, but is a little stiff. There is a knot on the thigh lx>ne which shows it waa not squarely set, and his left leg lis an ineh or so shorter than the right. It is the same leg the snake bit. Do any of you know where I can have a shoe fixed so he won’t limp so? It seems I have seen advertisements for such, but I can’t find any such now. It seems no hard to think of him being a cripple all hfs life, he Is only 10 now. but he takes It so well, and will show me how he can run—it is pitlfu to see. Mias Thomas.

Please don't let’s get the stepmother question agitated again. As we all know, there are good and not so good. The same as with own mothers. I don’t see that we can make them better by writing them up. Don’t some of yon good teachers want to eome here and teach for us? When I read your letters I will say, “Oh, I wish yon were tbe teacher for my children.” In reading over some old copies today 1 found some good ones from Silas Davis and Frank Snell.

FOUR THOUSAND FARMERS HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga., May !«.—The annual union picnic of the farmers of DeKalb and Gwinnett counties, their friends and relatives from every town and city within a radius of 25 miles of Stone Mountain, assembled here Saturday, May 15. The crowd of visitors were estimated to be form 3,000 to 4.000. Dancing at town pavilion and halll all day. was delightful ly enjoyed by the younger set. The top of Stone Mountain was stormed with the largest crowd for year. The day being an ideal one, the farmers with their wives, sons and daughters, turned out In full force, bringing with them well filled baskets with their hearts set on having a good time, and their success was boun teous. This was not only the largest crowd of visitors, but tne best order pre vailed during the entire day that has ever been witnessed by the oldest inhab itants of our town. The marshal had nothing to do but look on and see the enjoyment of the visitors. Although no reduction In railroad fare, the Georgia railroad hauled about 1,000 persons from Atlanta end of the line and about the same number from points south of Stone Mountain. The second Saturday has been observed here in this way for about 20 years, and the crowds come, without any advertising, for jubilee. Officer Is Shot ASHLAND.

CIOAR nmiuKiow April 25, 1861—The Arrival of the 7th New York Regiment in Washington Ended the Isolation of the Capital—Dark Days in the White House I COL. MABSIALL LEFFERTS, Canunanding ths Seventh Mew York Regiment. Fifty years ago today the Seventh New York regiment reached Washington and was reviewed by President Lin coln. With its arrival, ending the iso lation of the capital and re-establishing communication with the north, the first crisis of the war was brought to a close. For days past the capital had been cut off from the north, knowing noth ing of tfte thousands of men that were being enlisted and dispatched for its defense, but only of secessionist gains and confederate activities; seeing no new northern uniforms, but only the campfires bf the Virginian troops on the farther side of the Potdmac. The secession of Virginia on the 17th had been followed in quick succession by the burning of Harper s Ferry on the 18th, the Baltimore riot and de struction of railroad bridges on the 19th, the loss and destruction of the Gosport navy yard and its ships on the 20th. The evening of Sunday, April 21, had brought an even greater disaster to the union. “The authorities have posses sion of office,” telegraphed the Balti more operator to the manager of the Washington office The latter replied laconically, “Os course this stops all.” Baltimore, having closed the railroad, had now closed the telegraph also, and Washington was completely cut oft from its friends. WASHINGTON’S DANGER. In the absence of actual news, rumors flourished. It was reported that the Potomac was blockaded and that no re inforcements could come by that route, that the Virginians were raising a force that should join the south California troops under Beauregard and come and capture the capital. Conferences with Governor Hicks, of Maryland, his withdrawal of his origi nal proffer of four regiments and his plea that northern troops should keep out of the state, the temper of the peo ple as evinced in Baltimore, all made it appear likely that Maryland was about to follow Virginia into secession and that Washington was doomed. The capital had no natural strength as a military post, and the force de fending it was absurdly small. Col. Charles P. Stone, who as inspector gen eral of the District of Columbia had charge of its defences, had previously enrolled a district volunteer force com prising 33 companies of infantry and riflemen and two troops of cavalry, and the mustering in of these had be- KUn BESIEGED AND DESERTED. Gradually the city came to take on the aspect of a siege. The bridges over the Potomac wer occunpied by colonel Stone’s men. Patrols were stationed on every road, and guards were placed nightly in each of the public buildings. The little passenger steamers that the Potomac were occupied by colonel and picket boats. The doors, windows and stairways or the principal departmental buildings were barricaded and their approaches were guarded. 'The capitol, the the patent office, the state and treasury buildings all had their guardians. Defended for a siege, Washington was being provisioned for a siege as well. No supplies could now come in by rail. General Cooke and his Virginians at Al exandria were moving stores of flour to the interior, cutting oft supplies bound for Washington and sending them back to the farms. Already prices of food were rising, and to guard against actual famine flour and grain in large quantities had been seiz ed by the government at the Georgetown mills and even from the schooners on which it was loaded, and carted to the public buildings. The capitol contained 2,000 barrels of flour, the treasury build ing the same, the pOstofflce a large quantity. Meanwhile the city, once so crowded, had become empty. Unmartial office seekers had fled north for safety, by train while the trains continued, then in any way they might; Willard s hotel was deserted. At the same time southern sym pathizers—department clerks, officers of the army and navy, residents of the dis trict who feared wholesale imprisonment into military service—hurried oft to friends across the Potomac. These last, however, made no long farewell and planned. a speedy return. One clergyman, it is related, left his pet cat locked up in the house with a three weeks’ supply of food and water which he believed sufficient until the time when Davis should replace Lincoln in the White House and the Stars and Bars the Stars and Stripes. WAITING. Nearly all business came to a stand still. Theaters and other places of amusement were closed. Shutters were up and doors were locked. All about were sentinels; here and there marched a platoon of infantry or trotted a squad of cavalry. From General Scott and Colonel Stone, who had formed plans for defending the city to the last gasp, down to the most obscure clerk or pri vate, all were marking time, waiting for what tomorrow might bring. On the president the strain was great er than on any other. As succeed ed day with no news of the outer world, no sign or sound, of Uie regiments he < had asked for, nothing but a repetition of routine duties, of gloomy rumors, of grave faces, and. hardest of all to bear, of desertions among those he most trusted, even he became affected. It is told how ’.‘his countenance wore that peculiar expression, I think the saddest ever shown upon the face of man.’’ » LINCOLN’S ANGUISH. That afternoon as Lincoln paced the floor of the deserted executive office and gazed out of the window down the Poto mac, where the hoped-for transports should appear, he exclaimed in anguish, “Why don’t them come! Why don’t they come!” On the day following the wounded sol diers of the Sixth Massachusetts came to visit the president. He welcomed them kindly, thanked them for their ready pa triotism, expressed his trust in their further devotion, and contrasted their prompt arrival with the unexplained 'tardiness of their fellows. i "I begin to believe," he said in bitter irony, "that there is no north. The Sev enth regiment is a myth. Rhode Island is another. You are the only real thing." * THE SEVENTH ARRIVES. Yet the Seventh was not a myth, and the next day brought it, hurried in by train from the junction, where it had been met by a force of district volunteers that morning after its labored march from Annapolis. And with it came the news of other regiments close behind. An immense crowd gathered about the railroad station as the regiment k de- $ 1 <V 50 Full-Size High-Ann Vxlliy 1U .
