HARMONY CLUB HOP.
The Harmony Club will give a hop at
Harmony Hall to-night, and ample pre-
parations have been made for a grand,
good time. The hops and balls of this
club have become proverbial for their en-
joyable features, and this will prove no
exception to the rule. The club is plan-
ning to give a grand masquerade ball in
the near future.
A MAMMOTH TAPEWORM.
Mr. J. O. Nelson, of Clifton, Texas,
was seen «t che Washington this morning
and was perhaps the happiest man in the
city at that moment. He had been suf-
fering from tapeworm for two years past
and had just succeeded in getting rid of
his pet, an ugly looking reptile over sixty-
five feet in length. Mr. Nelson stated
that he had been varinly trying for
months past to secure relief and that this
morning he sought out Mr. Hennch
Berger and that within three hours after
taking a medicine which that gentleman
gave him he was a well man. Mr. Nel-
son has the worm bottled up and it is
enough to give a nervous person the
“shivers” to look at it.
AT THE TREMONT.
A fair-sized audience greeted the open-
ing performance of that favorite come-
dian, Roland Reed, at the Tremont last
night, Humbug being the bill. Mr. Reed
is well-known to Galveston theatre-goers
and comment is therefore unnecessary.
Humbug is being given for a matinee
performance'this afternoon. Cheek will
be the bill to-night, which performance
will close the company’s engagement
here.
To-morrow night Miss Myra Goodwin
will begin an engagement at the Tremont
and will doubtless be greeted by a full
house. The St. Louis Dispatch of recent
date has this to say of Miss Goodwin:
“The play as a whole is full of life and
action, and the audience last night were
thoroughly delighted with the perform-
ance. Miss Goodwin has a bewitching
presence, a delightful voice, and is the
best ballad singer and one of the best
dancers ever seen on the St. Louis stage.
She will grow upon the public, as it is
easily apparent that she possesses uncom-
mon ability as a soubrette. There is
nothing else for it but to use the old and
time-worn description to indicate that
Miss Goodwin’s voice is full of laughter
and tears. Her encores last night were
numberless.” Friday night the Little
Nugget company.

and is the best remedy for diarrhoea.

MORE HOPEFUL.
Just now the proposed amendments to
the city charter forms the all absorbing
topic of conversation among Galveston
tax'payers. The much discussed and at
one time greatly misunderstood amend-
ments are now before the aggregated
wisdom of the state at Austin and their
fate is a thing of the near future.
At present it is doubtful if a score
of prominent tax payors can be
found in the city who oppose the amend-
ments in their entirety. Many there are
who take exceptions to certain sections,
that providing for a board of fire and
police commissioners to be appointed by
the governor seeming to be most in dis-
favor. The amendments have already
been introduced- in the form of a bill by
Mr. Gresham and referred to the commit-
tee on towns and corporations, of which
Major Plumly is a member. To this com-
mittee has likewise been referred several
able-bodied remonstrances from citizens
of Galveston against the passage of the
amendments in their present shape. It
is thought that both Senator Claiborne
and Representative Gresham look with
disfavor upon some sections of the amend-
ments and it is altogether likely that
they will be changed in one or two im-
portant particulars at least before receiv-
ing the stamp of approval by the legis-
lature. On the other hand there are
many, if not a majority,of Galveston tax-
payers in favor of the passage of the
amendments just as they are, without the
change of so much as a comma or semi-
colon. This feeling has found expression
in a memorial to the legislature, signed
by one hundred representative busi-
ness men and tax-payers, praying
for the passage of the amendments in
their entirety. The petetioners do not
arrogate to themselves infallible wisdom
however, but suggest that the senator
and representative from this district give
the matter earnest consideration and mafke
such changes as to them may seem ad-
visable in order to accomplish the ends
sought. This memorial was brought to
the attention of the leading tax payers
by Alderman Albert Weis, than whom
there is not a more energetic or conser-
vative worker for the public weal in the
city. The paper will be forwarded to
Austin in a few days and will doubtless
have much to do in determining the fate
of the amendments, as neither the legis-
lature in general nor Galveston’s direct
representatives in particular can afford to
ignore the plainly expressed wishes of
the men who pay the burthen of the city
taxes.
--
REWARD OF PATIENCE.
There is an old saying that patience
will accomplish anything and a piece of
work now on exhibition at John Niland’s
saloon, corner 27th and Mechanic proves
that there is some truth in the saw. It
is a frame, if frame it can be called, for
photographs, is composed entirely of
Spanish cedar, is 22 inches wide by 24 in
height, contains 9000 peices of wood and
weighs but 3 pounds. It is the work of
a German sailor who spent nine months
time in whittling it out with a jack-
knife. While it is unquestionably a
wonder, in looking at it one hardly
knows whether to commend the patience
of its builder or condemn his wanton
waste of time.
Too Mach Sweeping.
The advisability of giving every apart-
ment a vigorous “broom cleaning” at least
once a week has been so strenuously insisted
upon by sorue notable housekeepers that it
has by many been converted into an im-
perative duty. But looking at the matter in
an unprejudiced light, one cannot clearly
see why a drawing room, inhabited perhaps
only a few hours of the afternoon and even-
ing, or an unoccupied guest chamber, should
requiro the same amount of purification de-
manded by a sewing, sitting or dining room.
The dustpan and brush are labor saving ma-
chines that do not receive due appreciation.
By their aid in removing a little dust here
and a little there the business of sweeping
a whole room may be deferred at times, when
at the first glance anything less than a
complete routing out of furniture and dirt
would seem impossible.—Marion Harland.
Conforming to European Style.
There is a strong movement among
Japanese ladies in favor of the speedy
adoption of the European dress. A native
journal of Yokohama recently contained a
letter from a Japanese woman correspond-
ent, who pithily expressed the motive for
this change. She said: “We dress not for
vanity, nor for healthfulness, nor for any
other motive, but in order to get our rights
as in civilized Christian countries.” To en-
force the new custom the female students
of the Tokio higher normal school have
been ordered to dress in foreign style, but
the use of rich materials has been forbid-
den. A scheme is also proposed for the
erection of a theater in the foreign style in
Tokio, to which only those in European
dress will be admitted.—Harper’s Bazar.
To Tell the Age of Eggs.
We recommend the following process,
which has been known for some time
but has been forgotten, for finding out
the age of eggs and distinguishing those
that are fresh from thosq. that are not.
This method ii based upon the decrease in
the density of eggs as they grow old:
Dissolve two ounces of salt in a pint of
water. When a fresh laid egg is placed
in this solution it will descend to the bottom
of the vessel, while one that has’ been laid
on the day previous will not quite reach the
bottom.
If the egg be three days old it will swim
in the liquid, and if it is more than three
days old it wall float on the surface, and
project above the latter more and more in
proportion as it is older.—Chicago News.
How to Serve Tea.
A cup of tea or coffee should not be filled
to the brim; it is, as you suggest, in bad
taste, and certainly ungraceful, as the liquid
slops over into the saucer and causes the
bottom of the cup to drip as it is lifted to
the mouth. You will find it convenient to
have a little bowl of hot water beside you
when you are pouring out tea. In this you
dip the cup before filling it; in that way it
becomes sufficiently damp at the bottom
not to slip, and, perhaps, upset in the sau-
cer. In filling the cup a second time the
dipping in the bowl of hot water removes
any residue of coffee grounds or tea leaves.
On English tables the “slop basin” is con-
sidered as necessary a portion of the tea
set as the teapot.—Philadelphia Press.
To Cook a Small Roast.
Small families often complain that they
cannot have good roast beef because they
are obliged to buy such small pieces, and it
come* upon the table dry and overdone.
To prevent this the smaller the piece to be
roasted the higher the temperature to
which its surface should be exposed. It
should be crusted, or browned, as quickly
as possible, so that the juices within shall
be held there under high pressure and only
be allowed to escape by bursts and sputters
rather than by steady evaporation. No
more fuel need be consumed, since it would
take a shorter time to cook.—Chicago News.
A Girl «f the Period.
Gail Hamilton says: “Certainly I am a
girl of the period. Why notP I must belong
to my own period, and, at any rate, my pe-
riod belongs to me. I disdain to have peo-
ple any longer speak for me or explain for
me; I will explain myself. I believe in all
women’s colleges and the annexes. I believe
in the latter’s higher education, and the
woman suffrage and the equality of the
sexes. I adore politics and I consider but
a relic of barbarism the old fashioned notion
that women care for nothing but dress and
their babies. ’ ’
Corn Pone to be Revived.

The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health
Even when a good remedy for disease is
selected, depends in some measure upon
the manner in which it is taken. Irreg-
ular, interrupted doses can afford no fair
test of the efficacy of any medicine, how-
ever salutary. Taken in proper doses at
prescribed intervals, a reliable curative
will effect the object of its use. Among
remedies which, systematically and per-
sistently used, accomplish thorough and
lasting cures, and prevents the recurrence
of periodic disease, Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters ranks specially high. In cases of
dyspepsia, debility, rheumatism, fever
and ague, liver complaint, inactivity of
the kidneys and bladder, constipation
and other organic maladies, it is a tried
remedy, to which the medical brother-
hood have lent their professional sanc-
tion, and which, as a tonic, alterative
and household specific for disorders of
the stomach, liver and bowels, has an un-
bounded popularity.

It is whispered that the new “Southern
society’ ’ is established to revive or trans-
plant and perpetuate the “Corn Pone” (it
should always be written with capitals—
its merits entitle it to their use.) Long life
and much joy to the new society. There
are few better things in this mundane exist-
ence than a light, rich and toothsome Corn
Pone, prepared by the hands or the recipe
of a good old fashioned, dark colored south-
ern cook, and if she wears a bandanna and
calls you “honey” the Corn Pone tastes
even better.—New York Graphic.
Miss Evarts’ Chocolate.
The secret of Miss Evarts’ popularity as
a maker and dispenser of chocolate when her
father was secretary of state lay in the
fact that the chocolate - was exceedingly
rich, and callers relished it greedily in the
tiny cups in which it was served. More
chocolate was used in one of those small
cups than ordinarily enters into the com-
position of two coffee cups of this beverage.
Beaten white of egg and cream was served
with it, and the mixture was so toothsome
that it gave the young lady a national repu-
tation. —Restaurateur.
Portraits of Women.
When an artist exhibits at the Paris salon
a portrait of a woman her name does not
appear on the frame or in the catalogue.
All that the public knows is that it is a pict-
ure of Mme. A. or Mile. B. But at our
National academy exhibitions her name is
printed in full, and enters into the news-
paper discussions as to the artistic merits
of the work.—Harper’s Bazar.
Unconventional but Poetical. ’
Ella Wheeler Wilcox carries portraits of
her husband, Mr. Robert M. Wilcox, of
Meriden, with her wherever she goes.
“You seem to be in love with your hus-
band,” some one said to her a few days ago.
“Oh, yes,” she said: “I am very uncon-
ventional in that respect. ”—New York Sun.
Care of Silverware.
Put camphor gum with your new silver-
ware and it will never tarnish as long as
the gum is there. Never wash silver in
soapsuds, as that gives it a white appear-
ance.
To take stains from white goods: Rub the
juice from ripe tomatoes with 6alt on the
stains and expose to the sun.

THE PERSIAN’S POLISHED MANNERS.
The Etiquette of Gift Giving—The Per-
sian’s Coarseness and Vile Language.
The Persian, just the reverse of the Turk,
is proverbial for bis polished manners. He
is very fond of polite phrases and terms of
endearment and welcome. But you must
not take him too literally. “Saalem alei-
kom,” (peace be with thee) he will greet the
enemy with, and the latter will respond,
“O aleikom essalam o rahmet Allah!” (also
with the® be peace and the forbearance of
Allah!) In parting he will say, “Khosh
Amad!” (thou earnest propitiously); “Sofa
awurdee” (thou broughtest comfort),
“Musharaf muzaiu” (I am honored by thy
visit), etc. And the reply will be: “Lotfo
Awli kem neshawad!” (the kindness of tho
Most High to thee may never diminish).
Which will not prevent either of these gen-
tlemen from cutting each other’s throats at
the first favorable opportunity, nor from
doing each other any other bad turn. Even
tho servants are ridiculously polite toward
each other. In addressing another servant
a man will use the equivalent of “Your
highness,” and will express tho hope that
his highness will continue to let the sun of
his countenance shine upon him.
There is only one Persian phrase that must
be and is taken literally. Never admire too
warmly a Persian’s goods, house, horse,
arms, etc. He would at once burst out:
“Pishkish. Malesshoma est!” (accept it as
a present!) And he means it too, and will
be offended if you don’t accept it. This in
itself would be good enough if there were
not one little inconvenience connected with
this ancient and honorable custom. The
Persian expects a counter present, and that
must be at least of double the value of the
gift.
Once the Persian throws off this cloak of
politeness and affability, though, he becomes
terribly coarse and vile in his talk. As
with most Orientals, curses and terms of
approbation are generally hurled vicar-
iously—that is, directed against the father,
the mother or the ancestors of the person
adressed. The most common expressions of
this kind are “pader saag” (son of a dog)
and “pader sukhte” (son of a heathen).
When swearing to the truthfulness of some
asseveration of his, the Persian will invoke
his eyes, his beard, his father’s grave and
“Fsheshm” (by my eyes), and “Rishey
mera Kaffau Kerdee” (May you put my
beard in the winding sheet—grave) are
very common oaths. Once their torrents of
abuse are let loose they will compete with
any denizen of Billingsgate. Two women in
Teheran I once saw hurling the most terri-
ble string of invectives and imprecations at
each other, standing in the middle of the
street and giving vent to their unbridled
passion and jealousy, until a eunuch came
out and drove them away with a few strokes
from his whip of rhinoceros hide.—Wolf
von Schierbrand in New York Graphic.
Persian Antiquities in. Paris.
It has been found necessary to close the
gallery of antiquities which have been lately
brought to Paris from the excavations
among the mins of Susa, the old capital of
the Persian kings. Tho atmospheric influ-
ences were rapidly destroying the beautiful
terra cotta objects, which had existed un-
injured since the times of Darius and Ar-
taxerxes, some 2,300 years ago. The won-
derful enamel was blistering and cracking.
After some consideration among the ex-
perts it has been agreed to try a remedy
that has been found efficacious in similar
cases. The endangered objects will be
thoroughly smeared with pure spermaceti
and then rebaked at a temperature of 200
degrees centigrade. The spermaceti will
penetrate into the enamel, and a fine trans-
parent glaze will be formed that will defy
the influences of the weather.—Paris Letter.
She Accepted It.
He was a masher. She was a woman
who was spoiling a $14 hat in the rain.
He raised his umbrella, hurried along and
overtook her and began:
“Madame, permit me to offer tho use”--
“Oh! thank you ever so much!” she in-
terrupted as she took it from his hand and
walked on, leaving him to skip for a door-
way.
A newsboy who had noted the perform-
ance from his position under an awning
looked from one to the other several times,
and then approached the masher and que-
ried:
“Under the circumstances, you don’t
want to buy a neswpaper, do you?”
And the answer was such a melancholy
shake of the head that the boy recoin men le 1
a change of climate.—Detroit Free Press.
Fred Archer’s Grave,
Fred Archer is still talked about. While
at Newmarket the other day the Prince of
Wales made a pilgrimage to his grave,
where he sent for Archer’s sister and baby
daughter and sympathized with them.
Patriotic indignation has been expressed be-
cause French papers have said that English
ladies loved Archer for his fine eyes as well
as for his riding. A proposal to erect a
monument to the dead jockey has been
made by a minister, and numbers of par-
sons have praised him in their sermons.
A more sensible proposition to perpetuate
his memory by founding a reading and
recreation room for stablemen and boys in
Newmarket is meeting with mu-h favor._

The man who writes tlie Miekey Finn
stories in Tho New York Sun is Ernest
Jnrrold, a compositor on Tho Evening Post,
Ho is about 28 years old, and aspires to be
a journalist. His stories require very littlo
editing The force in them lies in their
naturalness rather than in the Irish dialect.

America’s Engines.
America excels, if not in the building of
steamships, at least in tho manufacture of
locomotive engines for railways. The
largest output by any firm in Europe is
that of a German manufactory which an-
nually constructs 800 engines. The largest
one in America, a Philadelphia house,
turns out 600 machines annually.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
The Proper English Walk.
Something new appeared in New York
a short time ago, but though it is English
i and lias apparently come to stay, it lias
not met with'"a 'fervid reception. It is the
lurching English walk. Peru a; - the most
proficient of its votaries is a Londoner
named Benson, who came here with a lot
of letters recently and has spent all his
time since in dashing up and down the
steps of Fifth avenue residences, leaving
vast quantities of cards upon the citizens
. of New York. His manner of walking
was recognized at once as distinctly the
thing in London this year, and club men
and anglomaniacs lay in wait along Fifth
avenue to see him pass by. Of all the
walks this is the most absurd.
To begin, in good form, the knees must
never be straightened under any circum-
stances, and the toe should be turned out
as far as possible without putting the heel
in advance of them. This gives a rather
parenthetical look to the legs from the
front elevation, but it is indubitably cor-
rect, neverthless. Having assumed this
posture, the walker should lean his body
forward from the hips, draw his shoulders
over in front, elevate the chin as far as
possible, and then start off with the arms
hanging straight at the side. Bend the
knees outward at every step and move as
rapidlj as possible. Repeat as before, and
then rest eight minutes in a horizontal
position. Altogether the walk is not un-
like that affected by variety actors
mimicking old plantation darkies, and I
am told that if a man hums gently some
such strain as “Climbing up the Golden
Stairs” while perfecting himself in the
minor details of the walk he will be vastly
aided thereby.—Washington Star.
Wholesale Cruelty to Animals.
We suppose that no winter passes with-
out causing a shudder in the breasts of all
right minded people when they read in
the newspapers that thousands of cattle
have perished from starvation on tin; wes-
tern plains. This particular form of
cruelty to animals has seemed to be and
probably is beyond the reach of law and
of local public opinon. Neverthless the
recent national convention of humane
societies at Pittsburg took the matter up
and delivered their opinions upon it in
very proper terms. They say truly that
nobody has a moral right to bring into
existence a greater number of cattle than
he can reasonably expect to find food and
some kind of shelter for in winter. Yet
the practice is to estimate for a certain
percentage of loss by lingering torture,
and then trust to the chances of getting
through the winter with a better showing
than the estimate. This is cruelty to
animals reduced to system. Acts which
would be severely punished if committed
in the older states and visited with loss
of social consideration are the principal
trade and calling of large territories.
The suggestion of the association was
that since the ranges are mostly on public
lands, unsettled by the emigrant, and still
less under the direct aud immediate con-
trol of congress, it should be made unlaw-
ful for any one to range cattle on public
lands without making provision for them
in winter by food and shelter.—New York
Evening Post.
One of Nature’s Revenges,
I remember seeing Fred Archer when
he made a flying visit to this country two
years ago, and thinking what a wiry, sad
faced half grown little chap lie was. He
was ill then, ill at heart, which is the
cruelest of all ills when one is young, and
I fancied Bend Or must have carried
extra weight when he won the Derby on
this account. That strained, woebegone
expression and a showy checkerboard
ulster that accompanied it have always
been associated with the great English
horse races ever sinc«. Very likely he
consoled himself, let ns hope he did, at
least, and the outrages of prolonged star-
vation, constant Turkish baths and riding
in the teeth of a cold wind clad only in a
silk shirt and thin breeches were the
legitimate causes of his death. Neverthe-
less, though man flouts at nature, she can
be kind in being cruel. She allowed
Archer to slip out of the world.—Boston
Herald.
Put His Foot in It.
“She sings divinely, doesn’t she?” said
che sentimental male admirer of music as
she left the piano.
“Yes,” said his lady companion, rather
testily.
“I always think that the soul comes
<mt in the voice, and that a woman who
can sing like that must love passionately,
wildly. ’ ’
“Some people who can’t sing can love
just ns well when she finds a sensible
man, ’ ’ and she flounced off and sat by an
old maid. It was only when he got home
that it struck him how he had put his foot
in it.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Cannon ball and bomb shell relics of
the war of 1812 have become scarce and
are much sought for by antiquarians, and
yet probably there are a great many of
them to be had in the marshes around the
village “if a feller only knew where to
dig. ” It is stated that the year after the
attack by Commodore Hardy in 1814 sev-
eral tons were collected and sold to an
old ironmonger who came here in a ves-
sel.—Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin.

ment as counsel for the Southern Pacific

He Wasn't Built That Way.
A tramp who had succeeded in inducing
the cook to give him-a breakfast, during
the eating of which he indulged in a great
deal of talk and used the expression “I
seen” very frequently.
“Why don’t you say‘I saw’?” asked the
cook, who was something of a gram-
marian.
“Because I don’t,” was the satisfactory
answer.—Pittsburg Chronicle.
Blocking Out Sermons.
De Witt Talmage is quoted by The
Pittsburg Chronicle as saying: “I pre-
pare my sermons usually by walking the
floor or on a railway train. I can think
better when in motion than when station-
ary. I sometimes jot own notes on a
train, though I generally carry them in
my head. When I go off on a journey,
by the time I get back home I have ser-
mons blocked out for 150 years.”

Another Life Saved.
Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: “Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with a severe cold
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do hen any good, but she continued to
get worse, and finally raised a large
amount of blood from her lungs. We
called in a family physician, but he failed
to do her any good. At this time a friend
who had been cured by Dr. William Hall’s
Balsam for the Lungs, advised me to give
it a trial. We got a bottle and she began
to improve, and by the use of three bot-
tles she was entirely cured.”

ever cost.
