THE EVENING GALL.
v.l. I *■ 202
SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY reported FOR
THE EVENING (’ALL.
The thrifty feminine mind just now
focused intently on the getting up cl
things comfortable for summer, is liar
rassed to a degree over the question of
skirts. Woman who do careful 1 shop
gazing” are coming to the conclusion
that there is no faith to be put in the
present cut of skirts, with its lanky
tail and close hip fit, and the lurtune
tellers of fashion a&v:.- •v< modified
imitations of the wondrous skirts worn
by the wax ladies in the show
windows. They don’t believe itis ex
actly safe to run with one's expensive
silk or satin to the present extreme,
and as a matter of fact it is not. Cling
with cheerful conviction to your modi
fied skirt if you would be wise, and if
you wish to wear or make it over next
season, let the rear width merely
brush the floor, cut the front to easy
stepping length, not as if you were
making an old style riding habit, and
don’t, as your reputation for taste and
elegance depends upon it, close your
pocket hole with ornamental pins or
buttons. Let your frivolous friends
waste their pin, money and deface
their gowns with such eccentricities,
which no more than arrive in the
arena of fashion before they become
hopelessly vulgarized,

Wednesday was Memorial Day, and
a softer, fairer, more brilliant day
never blessed Griffin. The beautiful
blue canopy of heaven beamed brave
ly, but not more so than the memo
ries awakened by the time—memories
of those scenes which were enacted
nearly forty years, ago when the silent
heroes, with burnished steel and fly
ing flags and screaming bands, went
forth to victory or death. There was
the flash of sabre, the clatter of char
ger’s hoofs then—and we saw the one
and heard the other in the velvety
sunshine of the glorious day ; but they
meant blood, mingled with tears then.
Now, only tears and flower.-—tears for
the bravest who ever bled and died ;
flowers for the fairest names which
ever adorned the temple of fame—the
sweetest memories that ever shed their
perfume from the loved and lost upon
the assembled people who flocked to
the city to pay the yearly tribute to
the Confederate dead, who, dying, still
live in the hearts of all true southern
men and woman! A more notable
Memorial day has never been witness
ed in Griffin. The exercises of the
day were arranged by the Daughters
of the Confederacy, of which Mrs.
James S. Boynton is the president.
The eloquent address of Judge James
Pace, of Covington, was delivered in a
charmingly impressive way, and was
heard with enthusiasm by the great
crowd, It went home to the intellects
and hearts of his hearers, at times
calling forth unstinted and tremen
dous applause. Judge Pace was in
troduced in a most graceful manner
by Judge Robert Daniel. At the con
clusion of the program at the opera
house, a line of march was formed in
which the Confederate Veterans,
Daughters of the Confederacy, Griffin
Rifles, schools and organizations of
the city proceeded to the cemetery
and the graves of the dead ht rots
were covered with flowers.

Smoking Hefore Tol»ti<»<»<».
There Is -»me reason to think that peo
ple smoked 1,« fore tobact o was inttodm ed.
In several old I oksof housewifery certain
herbs named tire to be “smoked, " which
means perhaps inhaling, as we should -ay.
but the other signification is by no means
impossible. A vast number of elay pipe
have been found under conditions which
seem to prove that-they Were deposited
long before Raleigh’s birth, and a pipe of
early date is so utterly unlike the modern
form that these could not have been drop
ped by laborers of the present day.
If people were already familiar with the
practice of smoking herbs, we should have
an explanation of the astonishing rapidity
with which they took to tobacco. It may
bo noted that Cartier found the Indians of
Hoehelaga, <m the St. Lawrence, smoking
a herb which we recognize from his de
scription as lobelia as well as tobacco.
His sailors did not care for the latter, but
the former met with their approval from
the first, for it was “as good as drink" to
them. The medicine men smoked lobelia
before prophesying, and under its effect
they raved.— London Evening Standard.
Two Crank Siicß,-sli<ni..
A crank wrote thus to Mayor Ashbridge
of Philadelphia the other day: "I would
like to say a few words on typhoid fever.
If the people of this city would stop eating
celery and raw fruit of all kinds and stop
drinking ice water, there would bo less
sickness. If they don’t stop eating celery,
we will always have typhoid with us."
Another crank suggested that, electrio
light wires should be placed in the reser
voirs and in the bed of the Schuylkill riv
er, and at slated periods every day heavy
alternating currents of electricity should
be run through them. By this method,
the writer argued, all fever microbesand
germs would be shocked to death.
