Many stories are told of Sotboru’s original methods of entertaining his friends at dinner, and possibly the most amusing is that of the belated guest. When, late In the dinner, this friend was announced, Mr. Sothern ex claimed, "Let us all hide under the table," and down they all went save Mr. Sotliern himself, who remained seated. When the tardy guest entered, Mr. Sothern rose and received him with exquisite courtesy, saying, "When your name was announced, my guesls, for some unaccountable reason, all hid under the table.” After a few mo ments of disconffort one by one they crept out and hack to their scats. I heard from both Mr. Sothern and Mrs. Vincent this account of an out burst of fun at a dinner given by him In his parlor at the Revere House: As the guests, ten In number, were gath ered about the opeu fire before dinner a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with short breath, added the last touches to his dinner table, already spread. Ten large, square pieces of bread were placed with mathematical precision one at each plate, and then he left the room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern saw his opportunity and, calling his dog, cried: “Tiger, the bread! Quick, Tiger!" And the nimble little grey hound bounded lightly upon the table again and again as he heard Ills mas ter’s Imperative "Fetch tlie bread!'’ until each piece had been removed to a dark corner near the fire. Upon the waiter's return all was si lence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sothern's face showed only that dinner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, Hie waiter, seeing no bread upon the table, hesitatingly turned to the door, then rcti'iiccd bis steps to the table, examined It carefully and hurriedly left the room, lie soon re appeared with u fresh plate of bread, and again at each plate n piece was carefully placed, and he retired with the empty pi ite. ‘‘Quick, Tiger! Fetch It again! More bread! More bread!” And once more each piece was re moved before the grave waiter reap peared, and all were again silent. Ono look at the table and one at the guests, and there remained no doubt. Those poor, hungry actors had eaten it! With a look of contempt he an nounced dinner, and after all were safely seated at the table lie brought a third plate of bread and with a fork placed it, with a gesture of scorn, piece by piece for each person and for the host. The merry scene soon dis armed his hostility, and before the evening wns over the bread in the cor ner was revealed. Mrs. Lucy Derby Fuller in Century. MeftMleN mid Ammonia.

Brunswick has in her midst a firm ot contractors that would do credit to any city on earth and one that has [ very substantial monuments to their efficiency, in the way of handßome residences and busines houses In all i sections of the cftjjf, the result of their skill and scientific ability. | Tne News refers to the firm of Bowen & Thomas, composed of W. H. Bowen and J. W. Thomas, two of Brunswick’s most prominent business men, who have only recently formed a co-partnership in the contracting line and have at once taken rank among the leading commercial con cerns of runswick. For a number of years Mr. Bowen has ben in the contracting business and lias erected some of the finest homes in Brunswick and vicinity. He built tho handsome Jekyl island club house, which, by the way, Is one of tho handsomest structures in the state, and to show that the million aires were pleased with his work, he was given more yon* tracts Among tho residences Just finished by Messrs. Bowen & Tnomas may be mentioned the handsome Candler home and among those nearly completed are the residences of Mrs Waff, F. D. M. Strachan, and others. The firm has also just completed the Kaiser j building now occupied by J. M. Bur net, and a pretty outage for Charlton Wright. On the later, the record for quick building has been broken. Bowen & Thomas put their men to work Tuesday morning and last night the house was finished. This does not. mean that only the wood work was done, but everything, painting, plastering, in fact, the keys were turned over to the owner. Another building started a few days ago liy Bowen At Thomas was the Catholic convent on Richmond street, immediately In tne rear of the church. This building will be one of the hand somest in the city and is sure to re flect credit upon the contractors, In securing the contract for erect ing the government building, Mr Bowen plainly demonstrated his abil ity in his line, rtc ’had to bid against the most active contracting firms In the north aud the fact that he got the work, only hy a smal margin, speaks only higher for him. But Bowen & Thomas will do even greater things in the future, as The News teams from a reliable aoudee tuat they are at present contemplat ing the enlarging of the business in a great degree and this means that runswick, too. will come in for her share of the prosperity thay may hying, because what helps tne indi viddual helps the town aud vice versa. Tlie News sincery hopes that the firm of Bowen & Thomas will continue to thrive. Julius May is selling Wilson Whis key at SI.OO per quart.

There Are Many Name* For the Toothsome Palate Tickler. Considering its universal popularity and excellent standing in agricultural circles, it is remarkable how many aliases there are under which the pea nut travels. Whenever it is introduced to anew community the toothsome offering of the sod adopts anew name and comes forth with an additional sobriquet which makes it almost un recognizable to Its old acquaintances. If the “edible fruit”—ns tlie dictiona ries call it—had ever done anything to be ashamed of, the public plight under stand, but as things are tlie eccentrici ties of peanut nomenclature are abso lutely astonishing. Here In Virginia we designate our little friend principally as tlie peanut, but quite often we likewise allude to him as a “ground pea” and occasionally as a “goober.” Over iu England they caU the same fruit ground nut, while it is variously known elsewhere as “earth nut,” “Manila nut,” “jurnut” and “plndar.” The scientific patro nymic, as we understand it, is Araehis pypogsea, and the family belongs to the genus of leguminous plants. But, be Its name what it may, a pea nut Is a peanut tlie world over, so far as its virtues go, and few are the hu man palates which decline to receive an Introduction to it.—Richmond Dis patch. A Different Sort of Leather. A Pennsylvania physician tells a story about his servant which reminds one in a vague way of the “skinny side out and tlie woolly side In” rhyme. He had just hired a servant who. says tlie Philadelphia Telegraph, bad some of the “otlld dart” still clinging to her boots. One morning he noticed his office windows were rather dirty, and, call ing Bridget, he instructed her to clean them before he returned. At the same time he told her that he would stop and purchase anew chamois skin and send it home, and with this she was lo clean the windows. After he had gone his rounds tie re turned to his office. Glancing at the windows, he found them thickly streaked with grease. He called Bridg et, and the following colloquy took place: "Bridget, didn’t 1 tell you to clean the windows?” "Yes, sor.” "And didn’t I tell you to use the new chamois?” “Yes, sor.” "Well, did you use It?” “Sure, I did sor.” “Let me see the chamois.” said the doctor, and Bridget promptly brought It, Then for the first time he learned that his wife hail left the house a half hour before him and had sent home aome tripe. Rlnek and White. Every crow Is said to think Its own nestling the whitest, but a white cat that had four kittens, of which three were white and the fourth was black, gave the first place in her affections to Booty. Once they were all brought Into the drawing room to be “shown off.” Besides the humans the room contained a great Newfoundland dog. Hitherto eat and dog hail been on friendly terms, but now pussy showed much anxiety lest the dog might harm her black pot especially. At last she seized it by the neck and bore It be neath the lowest piece of furniture, where the dog could not possibly crawl, but she merely mewed to the others to follow her as best they could. The black kitten owed all this care to its color, more happy in this respect than the black sheep which Is said to be in every flock.—Exchange. Holland. Holland, known as North and South Holland, forms part of the northern jwrt of the Netherlands. These prov inces are composed of land rescued from the sea and defended by immense dikes. Holland was inhabited by the Bntvi in the time of Csesar, who made a league with them. It became part of Gallia Belgica mid afterward of the kiudgom of Austria. From the tenth to the fifteenth century it was gov erned by counts under the German em perors. Holland was at one time a Dutch republic. It was created a kingdom in' 1806, and Louis Bonaparte, father of Napoleon 111., was declared king.

The opera bouse this season will not bo opened until Friday, October 3, when one of the most remarkable contributions coming here this season will be seen, Mrs. Brune, in L-e fasci nating romance of oriental life "Unorna” from the fertile brain and magic pen of F. Marion Crawford, and prepared for the stage by Espy Wil liams. remarkable in the tact that the play has escaped the clutches of the theatrical octopus who absorbs everything good, and again from the fact that Mrs. Brune gives a per formance that places her upon the same artistic pedestal with Bernhardt, Duse, etc. When this brilliant conservative press of the Hub open ly and unanimously, proclaimed the "American Bernhardt” and rare ly had that offi temple o. Thespis, the Boston theater witnessed such a scene of enthusiasm as rewarded her efforts after the third act when she fairly carried her audieneee "off their feet” and received fourteen curtain calls. 1 ,ie play is a wonderful one and the player even more so. nieeiltiiK hy BiMVHhot. That all diseases can be cured by bleeding is still firmly believed by sev eral savage tribes, and especially by the Rapuaii negroes. When one of their physicians be comes convinced that It is necessary to bleed a patient, tie goes several feet in front of him and then, drawing his bow, lie fits a sharp pointed arrow to It unil after a careful aim tires the ar row into the vein which he desires to open. The arrow. It is said, invariably goes straight to the mark, and the thorn or splinter of glass with which it is tipped does the work as success fully as a lancet. Moreover, the patients never show the slightest fear, since they are con vinced that from the moment the ar rows pierce their veins they will begin to recover. The Kind of n Man He Was. "i was In Washington once," said n man at tlie club, "when Tom Heed was tlie czar of tlie house of representa tives. lie was holding forth with ear nestness mi some theme to a group of friends when that man you see over there hy the cigar counter pushed his way through the crowd, grasped Reed by the baud and said effusively; ‘Hello, Tom, old boy! How do you do?’ "Reed responded in a manner that was more of a the man than for his hand and went oil with his talk. When our friend over there had edged out of the crowd, someone said: You didn't seem to be happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?’ “Reed drawled out, ‘He’s a fellow from New York who knows more tnen who don’t want to know him than any other inau in tlie United Stales.' ’’—De troit Free Rress. Thrifty Sqnandrrrrs, When Napoleon entered Genoa in 1805, tlie rich patricians of tlie city exerted themselves to gain the favor of tlie conqueror hy all sorts of flat tering attentions. The most elaborate of these was a banquet patterned after the famous one offered by Antony to Cleopatra. The tables were set in an artificial garden, floating on pontoons, which were towed out to sea during the prog ress of the feast. At the conclusion of tlie banquet—again in imitation of An tony and Cleopatra—all tlie costly gold and silver plate was flung into the sea. This little tribute of honor to the em peror was not so expensive as it seem ed, for the floating garden was sur rounded with nets, aud tlie plate was subseq uenll y recovered. Whnt Men Like In Men. like in men these traits: The honor that ennobles, the justice that Insures tlie right, the reasonableness that mellows and makes plain, the courage that proclaims virility, the generous instinct that disdains all meanness, the modesty that makes no boast, the dignity tiiat wins respect, the fineness and the tenderness that know aud feel. But when one thinks of it more carefully may he not sum it up in just a single sentence ami ac cept it as the truth that ail men like a gentleman ? —Cosmopolite u. A Prescription. A schoolteacher in Frotue, England, simt this to the father of one #f his pupils: "1 beg to inform you that in my opinion your son is suffering from myopia, aud his ease requires prompt attention.” The next day the boy brought back this written request: "Mister, please knock it out of Jim, as 1 ain’t got time.” Tl* SHinotin I.anguaKt*. Speaking of the flexibility of the Sa moan language, Mrs. Isobel Strong says that the little word “ta” means: I, we too, to beat with a stick, to play on a musical instrument, to reprove, to tattoo, to open a vein, to wash cloth ing by tienting aud to turn a somer sault. .

Thousands of people actually think themselves to death every year by al lowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects. Asa rule, the thought that kills re lates to something the individual drea'cls more than anything else in the world. There is the germ of fatal thought in ninety-nine persons in every hundred, and the exception is only proof against the thought disease by liaving been Inoculated with the lymph of optimism or philosophy. The Idea that one has some Incipient disease in one’s system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on In life without improving prospects—any of them or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes Itself upon one’s mind needs as much “doctoring” as physical disease. It needs to be eradi cated from the miud or it will have just the same result as a neglected disease would have. The thought dis ease sometimes cures itself after run ning its course: so does smallpox. But who would settle ilowu to suffer from smallpox and chance recovery, as thou sands of foolish persons settle down to let the thought disease, which has at tacked them, do its worst? Every melancholy thought, every morbid notion and every nagging wor ry should be resisted to the utmost, aud the patient should be physicked by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a store in every one’s possession, bright companions—cheaper than drugs and pleasanter. There have occurred scores of dozens of cases where healthy persons have thought themselves Into having tumors and cancers—cases which admit of no doubt whatever that tlie diseases re sulted from constant morbid fear. There might possibly be fewer cases of cancer if some great doctors could assure tlie world that it Is not a hered itary disease, hut morbid minded per sons on hearing that there is cancer in their families generally do tho very worst thing they can do under the cir cumstances they conceive ail awful dread that they will be afflicted with it. They dwell upon the fear constantly, nnd every trifling ailment which trou bles them is at first mistaken for the premonitory symptoms of cancer. The morbid condition of mind pro duces a morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be In the system it receives every encourage ment to develop. POULTRY POINTERS. The best eggs are the result of a meat diet. Weak legs come from forced growth, high feeding and close confinement. Use no deformed or weak fowls breeding and do not keep the sn mV cock more than one season. A molting hen seldom lays. She can not be supplying eggs while the strain of growing new feathers is upon her. Avery fat hen seldom lays anything blit soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy anil egg bound are the result of excessive fat. Leaves and hay chaff make excellent litter for the doors, nnd by throwing grain among it fowls are often kept busy scratching. Keep the fowls away from the barns, stables and carriage bouses. In such places they are nuisances; besides they are more comfortable in a place by themselves. Hens must have carbonate and phos phate of lime for their shells, and these will be found In old plastering, broken oyster shells and bones, with some of the meat and gristle attached. A reriian Dinner. A traveler in Persia thus describes a dinner served in the household of a wealthy Persian; “The chief dish con sists of a fowl boiled to rags, surround ed by a toothsome mass of rice, hard boiled eggs, fried onions, almonds and raisins. There is a Shiraz wine, clear, golden red liquid that has traveled over the mountain passes on mulebnck in a huge glass carboy. Among the dessert manna has a conspicuous place. This delicacy Is somewhat akin to nougat; It Is studded with walnuts ami aiinpnds and Is jaw sticking to the last degree. Like the mango, it is best eaten in private, for it renders the mas ticator speechless. It is made of gum that exudes from a tree and is said to be engendered by a worm.”—Chicago News. Fertile Cuba. In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh as much as twenty pounds. All vege tables do well. Radishes may be eaten from fourteen to eighteen days after sowing, lettuce in five weeks after sowing, while coni produces three crops per year. Sweet potatoes are perpetual.
