Mrs Mat tie Littlefield, nee Graham, after an absence of 1 v twenty-eight years, is revisiting 1 the scenes of her girlhood in Williamsburg county, being the guest of Mr and Mrs WG Gam- * ble. Mrs Littlefield was reared ( in the family of the late Julius ! P Gamble, of this county, but 1 has made her home in New York and Boston for nearly three 1 decades. After being absent : for so long a time so many changes have taken place in her 1 old hdme surroundings that her return here is almost a visit to a 1 strange country.. ] 1 t , ( ^ Lyceum goers were entertained very pleasingly at the 1 Auditorium on Tuesday even- i ii^gbyMrW PoweJl Hale. Mr i Hale's strong points are his im personations of the old woman i and the boy. His renditions 1 ^ along this line are above the ] average impersonator and when ; enlivened with ginger and snap 1 bang forth volumes of laughter. Ihis was Hale's second appear- ] ance in the . Kings tree audi- J torium and those who heard him 1 a year ago, anticipated his sec- i ond coming with much pleasure. 1 The weather was favorable and i the attendance fairly good. I On last Thursday evening a jolly party of frolicsome youug folks were gathered at the home of Mr Robert Fulton where a y few delightful hours were spent. Dancing was the primary amusement; yet those who did not * .dance declare that the evening . ^ waa a most pleasant ene. At aboat the midnight hour the party w^s invited to the diningroom where were two immense tables, veritably groaning beneath their burdens of delicious eatables. Soon the merry clanging of knives and folks, accompanied by the mirthful laughter of the sportive crew j told the story of the gladsome scene within. After the ap petites had been thoroughly ap- < peased and the hospitable host ' f burdened with thanks and congratulations the jovial company ] repaired to the waiting wagons ' and began their homeward journey. The soul-inspiring moon was in the fullness of its glory and brought forth joyous songs to disturb the stillness of the night. 1 ! c / The "bride-to-be" referred to 3 y in the following is well known 1 in Xingstree and in the course i of human events this being her 1 future place of abode, the appended article will be of interest not only to her admirers here, 4 <ingstree. t ~ :|g bit likewise to the numerous ' friends of the prospective^ jroom, a popular young busi-j ness man of our town: ' J A Linen* Shower. ! t Miss Lydia Smith entertained; on last Saturdav afternoon in 11 honor of Miss Margaret Burns, j one of Georgetown's attractively brides-to-be.

There was a vacancy in the ministry of a west highland parish,,for which three candidates preached in the church on three successive Sundays. The first was diminutive in } stature, the second smaller still, and i the third was the smallest of all. A ? lady in the congregation spoke with E a member of the church committee \ dAmnndod to lrnnw whv such , mall candidates had been selected. < The explanation, as a writer in the \ London Telegraph gives it, was this: ] "Weel, mum, ye see the steepends < hae become very small, and they're ] no bringing oot such big ministers as they used to do." < 1 A oold taken at this time of the * jrear is generally hard to get rid of but it will not be able to withstand Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar.

A huge, finely mounted antlered lead hung just above the aideboard n the dining room. This trophy of iome huntsman's skill was fastened 10 firmly to the wall that the glistening neck seemed to be coining ight out through the plaster. Robert, who was seeing this decoration lor the first time, eyed it with livey curiosity and very evident uneasiness. it looked almost too lifeike for comfort. Finally the boy, asking to ba ex;used, slipped from his chair, tiptoed into the next room and then, flushing with embarrassment, returned to his place at the table. "What's the trouble, Robert P" Lsked his host "I wanted to see," explained canlid Robert sheepishly, "if that anmal's legB were really as long at that or if he were standing on something in another room." A Gladstone Story. Of Mr. Gladstone it was said by lis detractors that he had something of the schoolmaster in his wmnosition. and this trait was ant ly ilfuatrated when daring the summer holidays on one occasion he net the late Duchess of Aberoorn a a country house, accompanied by aer schoolboy son, Lord George Hamilton. Not many mornings had itapeed before Mr. Gladstone said to the boy's mother: "Duchess, lon't you think it a pity that yoor K>n should spend his holidays in entire idleness? I should be happy to give him an hour's Homer enar morning." The offer was accepted, md the foundation of Lord George's lifelong hostility to the liberal leader was securely laid.

The first man on actual record as having used the kite is Archytas (about 400 B. C.). For what purpose he employed it I have been unable to ascertain, but it is not probable that he accomplished anything of scientific importance, and it was not until 1749, when Dr. Alexander Wilson and Mr. Thomas Melville in Scotland used it for taking the temEerature of the upper air, that the ite showed possibilities of becoming a useful and scientific apparatus. Franklin's well known experiment of obtaining atmospheric electricity by means of a kite again drew attention to it. It is, however, within the last decade that the kite has gained nearly all of its importance, and this is due to its development by men who have studied it and the forces acting upon it in a scientific way. Among others may be named Marvin, Langley, Hargrave and Eddy. By their labors a hitherto useless toy has be come an important scienuuc apparatus.?Exchange. The Caterpillar. If any schoolboy were asked to give the derivation of "caterpillar* he would say that it had something to do with "cat." And he would be right. The common explanation of "caterpillar" is that it is the old French "chatepelose," which means literally "hairy cat" and is very like the English "woolly bear." The last two syllables suggested the English "piller," a plunderer, and "caterpiller" was the regular spelling until the seventeenth century. Dr. Murray's dictionary suggests that the word may have come straight from "cat" and "pillar." A Lombard word for caterpillar is "gatta" (cat) and a Swiss word "teu felskatz" (devil's catt while a "catkin" is the vegetable imitation of the caterpillar. * Kneeling Down to Die. Though a camel is supposed to have carried Mohammed in four leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven miles an hour is the latter daj camel's limit It cannot maintain this rate for over two hours either. Its usual speed is five miles an hour, a slow pace beyond which it is dangerous to urge it, lest, as Asiatics say, it might break its heart and die liberally on the spot When a camel is pressed beyond this speed and is spent it kneels down and not all the wolves of Asia will make it budge again. The camel remains where it kneels, and where it kneels it dies.1 A fire under its nose is useless. Juttioo In Turfcoy. The following queer case of legal jurisprudence was told by a Turkish diplomat: It appears that a mechanic fell from a roof into the street upon a wealthy old Turk and killed him. The son of the deceased caused the arrest of the workman, who was uniniured. and had him taken before the cadi, with whom he used til hit influence to here the prisoner condemned. But the man's innocence was eleaily established, and nothing could satisfy the deed miin's en save the law of retaliation. Therefore the venerable cadi gravely directed that the workman be plaeed upon the exact spot where the victim of the aoddpt had stood. When this was done the^dhdi turned to the son and said, "Now you mat ro to the roof of the house, fall down upon this man and kill him if you can."
