Tha Mullet la a Food Standby Amang
the Dwellers Along the Mis-
sissippi Sound.
There are all kinds of fishing
along the Mississippi sound from
Bay St. Ixmis to Biloxi, according
to H. C. Ryull of New Orleans.
“The mullet, a small but very
palatable iisli, is the common diet of
the people all along the coast, and is
familiarly known as ‘Biloxi bacon.’
The mullet is caught with a little
cast net familiarly known as the
‘Biloxi life preserver,’ because any-
body can go out in a boat at any
time and catch fish enough for a
meal in a few minutes.
“The Louisiana fishermen are
called ‘cajans,’ the diminutive of
Acadians, ami they are the same
people whoHe pathetic story is de-
scribed in Longfellow’s ’Evangeline.’
They are scattered all along the
coast, and make their homes chiefly
on tlie banks of the bayous and in-
lets, but I have not yet seen anyone
resembling either Evangeline or
Gabriel. They are not a poetic look-
ing class of people, and they live
tho most unpoctic lives, satisfied
with very little.”
LOVELY LADY HAMILTON.
The story of Amy Lyon, the
daughter of the humble Cheshire
villager, who by her wondrous
beauty rose to a pitch of European
renown, is an ustonishing instance
of beauty’s power, the Strand says.
The future lardy Hamilton was
christened Amy, but after try-
ing the various changes of
Amyly, Emyly and Emily, final-
ly adopted Emma, and wish-
ing also a change of surname
christened herself Hart, when at 16
she came to London as lady’s maid.
After an extraordinary career of
vicissitudes she came under the pro-
tection of the lion. Charles Greville,
who introduced her to Romney, who
was inspired by her loveliness to
paint from hpr some of his finest
pictures. Slut also sat to Reynolds,
Hoppner ami isuvrenoo, und t*
numerous artists in Italy when at 26
she had become the wife of tho am-
bassador at Naples, Sir William
Hamilton. There she met Nelson
and thereafter her history entwined
with his own. She was obliged, at
50, to flee from her creditors to
Calais, w here she died in 1815.

albinos are usually normal. He se-
cured the family when Joseph was
eight years old, and his sister a few

satisfied with his venture. But the

tinction of being a freak, and de-

8AILOR’S EMBROIDERED MAP.
A. Henry Peterson of the local of-
fice of the United States shipping
commissioner's department has hang-
ing on his office wall a map of Alas-
ka which is something of a curiosity.
Like most sailors of tlie old school,
J’eterson is a handy man with the
needle, and in the spare time at his
disposal it took him ten months to
make the map. It is all of silk em-
broidery, and nearly 500 skeins of
silk thread were used in its manu-
facture. The different divisions of
country are done in different colored
silk, and all the names are worked
in. The map is complete in detail.—

AN AMBIQUOU8 LAUDATION.
A well-known divine was preach-
ing one Sunday morning on the sub-
ject of “The Great and Small
Things of Creation.” To illustrate
his thought that nothing was either
too vast or too tiny to be of interest
to God, he proceeded in these words:
“The Creator of this immense
universe created also the most in-
finitesimal atom in it. The Architect
of these vast mountains fashioned
also the tiniest thread of gold run-
ning through them. The God who
made me made a daisy.”—Lippin-
cott's.

, “I don’t know about the trials of
city relatives with visiting country
cousins," said Aunt Mary, thought-
fully. "Still, 1 am tired of reading
continually about tbe annoying guest
from tbe country. Some day 1 shall
tell my experience with a city guest."
Her caller laughed. "Aunt Mary,"
she said, "you will never have a more
appreciative listener thun I would be
at the present moment”
"Well, I think I shall tell you about
tt. my dear. Cousin Annie, who was
brought up on the next furm to me,
was my dearest girl friend. She mar-
ried a Chicago man and for a few
years we visited back and forth quite
regularly. Then troubles came in
both families and we couldn't get
away at all.
"Annie's husband made a great deal
of money. I think It did not change
Annie a bit, for occasionally 1 would
get warm, confidential letters from
her. But, you see, different circum-
stances must make a difference with
the children. Her girls were educated
at fashionable schools and abroad
while the country high school sufficed
for mine.
“When my last and youngest mar-
ried and went to the Pacific coast to
live, I was so lomwome that I sat
down and wrote Annie n long, blue let
ter. It wasn’t a we**k before she an
swered, offering me her youngest for
a visit. She said that none of her
children had ever seen the old neigh-
borhood In which she had grown up
and that Eunice was the only one to
send, and that If I wanted her she
would come and try to take my g'rl’s
place for a few weeks.
“If I wanted her! I had never
wanted a girl bo much In my life!
"Eunice was a dear girl, she really
was. But a weakhy city and a pros
perous farming community are far
apart.
"I had sent the hired man down
with the ‘democrat’ wagon to got her
trunk, but he had to make three trips
before he got all her luggage. I was
charmed when she stepped off the
train—she was so fresh and dainty
that I fell In love with her on the
spot.”
"I had Invited all the young people
of the neighborhood In for supper
that evening so that Eunice could get
acquainted at once. I told her about
five o’clock that she would better get
ready for them, as boys and girls
would arrive at six,
‘‘All tho guests were In the sitting
room when she opened the door, and,
my dear, she was a picture! I dis-
covered afterward that she had on her
simplest house gown, although It
seemed very elaborate to us. Her
arms and neck were bare—I think
none of us had ever seen a woman
dressed so before outside of pictures
In novels. She carried her train like
a queen.
"There must be something In what
she calls ‘poise,’ for doubtless she was
B8 dumfounded at their appearance
as they were at hers. Some of the
girls wore dimity gowns, but most of
them had on white waists embroid-
ered after some newspaper pattern
and their best skirts. They were
UIeaiuicns mm muuinsiimeill, nut sue
never wavered for a moment.
"It wasn’t such an Impossible eve-
ning as I had thought It might be,
for she made herself very agreenble.
I think the girls all envied her and
the boys were half In love with her.
I loved her myself when she kissed
me good night and said:
‘"Cousin Mary, I promise never to
wear these clothes in your heiise
again. You know that I didn’t k.«nw
better, don’t you?’
"The noxt day the minister and his
wife called. We haven't Imbibed
many religious fads here, although I’m
not so set as some. But the old oitho-
dox faith seemed new to Eunice.
She told the minister she didn’t know
that any one now believed the things
he did and that she was inclined to
Buddhism, herself. She did so love
mysticism! I know the poor man Is
praying for her nightly!
“Then she went out violet gather-
ing with John Miller and I could see
that he was getting too deeply Inter-
ested in her.
"He invited us to the Cemetery as-
sociation supper the next night. Eu-
nice was convulsed. It hadn't seemed
queer to us to meet once a month fqr
a picnic supper anil dance tq talk
over affairs of our cemetery, but It
did to the city girl. The square
dances tickled her nearly to death—
she had never seen any before. All
the women were busy getting the pat-
tern of her simple morning dresB fixed
In their minds, while the boys were
afraid to ask her to dance, except
John, who didn't seem to see any one
else In the room. 1 am fond of him,
BO I didn’t like it.
"When she was ready for bed I
went In and had a talk with her, Just
as I used to do with my own girls.
She seemed really annoyed when I
told her my suspicions nbout John.
She threw her arms about me ami
Jaughed and cried n bit.
" Dear Cousin Mary,’ he said, 'what
• trial 1 must be to you! Now, you
nrp the most genuine woman 1 know,
except mother, and I know you will
understand me when I say that I nm
going home tomorrow. I think we
ought not try to stay where we make
It uncomfortable!*
"She went away as sweet as when
she came,
"But the minister never has b»en
tbe same to me since. I think he
looks upon me always ns the relative
of a Buddhist 1"
