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. » » » After the close of Memorial exer cises on Wednesday Capt. J. Henry Her Life Was Saved- Mrs J. E, Lilly, H cit . ■ :i of Hanoi' ble, Mo, lately had a wonderful de* o a frightful death In telling of it she says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into ’neuin inia. My lungs • dened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up iu bed. Nothing helped me, I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Dis* covery.

Mrs. Nail is most happily possessed of many No Eight to Ugliness. The woman who is lovely in face, forth and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attract ive must keep her health.

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. - ■ v -*T f" ■’ ■ ■ “Z Excellent Combination.
