F. 1). carriers went out on the Uh, on their usual rounds, but were badly hacked and greatly disappointed, as they were not "ca.led off." If there Ik any one class more than another who should have this national holiday, it seems to us it should be employees of the U.' S. government, for it seems to us to be on regular duty this day would be in violation of i constitutional laws, for If It is set apart hbr national holiday then it should be so observed by all classes. We ero indebted to I'ncle i Sam for the day last year, hot thin time he slipped up, and either forgot, or Ignored his faithful little band or K F. D.'a In Abbeville, but it may be he Is golr.,; to surprise us with a holiday for a week or t vo this summer, and let our pay go on, and<-ur substitutes take our places at regular pa>*. Wall this would almost tempt us to vote for him. It is too good to think about as it will only enter into our dreams. Route No. 8 seemed deserted an:J looked as if everybody had gone avay to "celebrate" the fourth?houses closed and but few at work. Our patrons uttered many kind expressions as to our having to ride the 4th, and said they were not looking for us, and really thought we should have had the day. and our thoughts ran in the same channel. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY. Sunday hours were observed at the post office on the -itb, and our merchants opened their hearts half way and closed their stores from one o'clock p. m. Many other towns and.cities close all day. Several barbecues were on and lovers of "pot bash" were in the swim. Candidates, of course, were "doing about," as politics?JNa tioual, County and Stare- are getting almost as hot as the Russo-Japanese war. Let tbeui go ahead as there's always room at the top.

Wells ol the Methodist church selected for his subject "The importance of faithfulness lu little things," taken from St. Matthews gospel, 16 and 10. He showed by many timely aud apt Illustrations that the "little things" of life * were not the great things, but that the "great things of life" were made up of the "little things," all of which made up and sealed our destiny at the last day. He spoke of Christ's life and said, "He only raised three from the dead, calmed the wlndB, and walked on the waves once, while his wbole life was taken up la tbe "little things" of life. In conclusion to* prayed that all might be careful of, and ftltaful In tbe "little things of life." fh* singing was good and was done by Cochran and \V. E. Hill, a duet choir. "Ib? selections on tbe organ by tbe organist were \erp aweet and beautifully rendered. For handkerchiefs, hosiery, soz, night shirts, suspenders, we can supply your wants.

A man accompanied by his wife should not drag her iuto the crowd j that hangs around the office, as two- ; thirds of them do. He should lirst take j her to the parlors, leave her there aud j go to the office alone. When he has j registered and been assigned a room, J he should go and get her. When the hoy has shown them the j room, the guest should not hesitate to ; say so If he does not like it. There are j doubtless others empty, and it is the j clerk's place to try to ploa.se. Another great blunder is not to ask j the price of the room before looking at It Many a man feels reluctant to do this, but it is purely business. If the j price does not suit, he can kick, but | there is no use complaining after the i bill is sent in and saying that he has | been overoharged, that he has been there before aud always had a lower rate and all the many things that a man Is apt to think about wnen ne is ready to leave. When a woman is alone, she should not go to the office. All that is necessary is to take a seat in the parlor and send her card to the clerk, stating whether she wants a bathroom or not and exactly the kind of accommodations she wants. She should frankly say if she wishes a quiet, room, a small room, au inexpensive room tor any preference she may have. Despite all the printed warnings on hotel walls it Is almost impossible to get women to send their valuables to the office safe. Why? It is a mastery. But the owners prefer, as a rule, to take the chances. Then, if a loss occurs, they blame not their own carelessness, but the hotel management. Another thing: Trunks should be kept locked. Every hotel tries to got honest help. No hotel can guarantee that all its employees are or always will be proof against temptation. Every hotel asks Its patrons not to tempt them. How to Make Cocoa Cordial. One-half teaspoonful of Dutch cocoa, some boiling water, two blocks of loaf sugar and two tablespooufuls of port wine. i'ui iue cuuua uun ou^ui ?uw china cup and pour directly upon tbem some boiling water and add the wine, making in all the usual amount called a cupful. Serve at once. This is au excellent drink for those who are chilled or exhausted or to take after a bath. Hovr to Make Squirrel Pie. Six squirrels, a quarter of a pound of salt pork and a pint of oysters. Cut tbe squirrel into meat joints and put into a stewpan with water enough to cover them. Add the pork, cut into slices, and half a medium sized onion. Cover close and simmer until tender. When done, take up the pieces of squirrel, strain the gravy and set both away to get cold. Line the sides of a deep pie dish with a good paste, put a little gravy in the bottom of the dish, then a layer of squirrel and a few oysters and some of the oyster liquor. Sprinkle with flour, season with salt, pepper and a little inace and cover with bits of butter. Repeat until the dish is full. Cover with paste, cut a hole in the center and bake half an hour. How to Decorate the Table. A charming dinner table arrangement is of La France roses and maidenhair ferns, with striped grass. A wavy line is formed down the middle of the table of the ferns and grass, and the roses are deftly intermingled Ln the curves. Another pretty scheme is of holly berries and leaves, with asparagus fern. In the first case the candle shades are pink, in the second red. How to Core For the Eyes. "When the eyes ache, relieve them by closing the lids for five or ten minutes. When stinging and red through crying, they should be bathed in rosewater or wet a handkerchief with rosewater and lay it over them for a few minutes. If they are bloodshot, you need more 6leep or have been sitting Ln a draft If they have a burning sensation, bathe them with hot water to which a dash of witch hazel has been added. If tho whites of the eyes are yellow and the pupils dull, strict attention should be Daid to diet. How to Cook Hashed Clnnin. Melt pat of butter in chafing dish; then put in three dozen Little Neck clams, hashed fine, and their juice. Add a teaspoonful of chopped chives and two of parsley. Cook over open fire until it boils up twice, cover on; thicken with bread crumbs, add two tablespoonfuls of sherry, season to taste and serve on buttered toast How to Make Peppermint Cordial. Peppermint cordial may be made at any time of the year, for the chemist always keeps the necessary preparation of peppermint Put GO drops of essential oil of peppermint on to three or four lumps of sugar, pound it in a stone mortar, with a tablespoonful of brandy, till all is thoroughly mixed. Add this to one quart of proof spirits of wine and the same quantity of white sugar sirup. Color the cordial with beet root and you will have a delicious sirup. How to Clean Lamp*. Soak lamp wicks in vinegar before using them in a lamp. Wash smoke stained chimneys in warm water and soap and rub while wet with vinegar or dry salt They can also be cleaned, as may be globes on gas fixtures, in warm water and soda and then in warm water and ammonia. How to Serve Oranges. Cut seedless oranges in halves, take out the little piece of white in the center with a very sharp pointed knife and : fill the cavity with sugar. THAT TIUEI) FEELING!

Mr. It. E. Jones, buyer for Parker A Brldeet, whose larue department stores are located at nth and Penu. Ave. Washington. I). C., writes, under date of April 14, '01. as follows: Last February, one yn?r, while in New York on business lor my house, I cuugbta severe cold, which laid me up for several weeks and left me weak and nerveous. I had little or no appetite, and my digestion was very poor. My physician could not get at the cause of my t rouble, as my digestion seemed bo much impaired. I decided to try Kydale's Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend, they were a Ko<id dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, J becati to realize that I was getting better, i gave up the doctor's nrescriptlon and have ualned 20 pounds while using two boxes of thesa tablets. I never felt better in mv life, and accredit ltydale's Stom- ,, qcIi Tabids with having cured me. I can *-> recomend them, .most heartily, to sull'erers from nervous indigestion and general rundown conditions of Ibe system. C. A.
