Kd win Booth, Ho was lu some respects greator than his brother ICdwin. tie w^ih of a melancholy dis|)osltlon and was especially Milted to the character 'of Hamlet, a inolaiicholy Dane. John Wilkes was more hrllllant ami dashing than his brother Kdwiu ami superior to him a* an actor playing Uh'hurd th$ Third. It was said that some of his lines in that play on the stage were startling and would almost tiike the breath of his amllence. Ho was one of the handsomest men, with the most graceful figure and culturcd manners that ever lived. No lady could ever look at him ami not love hint, he was so handsome and attractive, lie became acquainted will) the bent) tifUl daughter, of Senator John B. Ilale of New Hampshire, and they became 1ov?th. She was so Infatuated wit It him that she would marry him under tin- gallows Heal, after entering the Confederate etpy, went up. to the city of Buffalo, on La,ke Krie, and captured and de stroyed some . northern vessels. He was captured and was placed in jail and was tried by court martini and was sentenced to be "hung. Booth lov ed Heal as ITt? did himself and deter mined to make an effort to save bis life, Ro he saw some prominent He publican senators and military officers of the government and among the num ber was Senator Hale, his sweetheart's father, who wont with him, with prom inent Republicans to see Mr. Lincoln and asked Mr. Lincoln to pardon |$eal. Hooth made an earnest plea in behalf of ills friend Beal, on his knees before Mr. Lincoln. Booth lielng an actor, threw his whole soul and efforts, made a plea so pathetic and earnest that he overcame the sympathies of Mr. Lin coln, being a sympathetic man. Mr. Lincoln promised to pardon Beal. The nejet day there was a meeting of the cabinet and the president told the cabinet that he had promised to pardon Beal. Mr. Seward, secretary of state, arose from his seat and pac ed the tloor like a mad lion and told Mr. Lincoln that if hie did pardon Beal that he would resign Ids seat in the cabinet and would denounce him on the stump as in sympathy with the re bellion. Seward said that if the gov ernment could not hang such traitors and pirates as Beal he had as well turn the government over to the rebels. Mr. Lincoln did not have the nerve to resist this threat of Seward's so Beal was hanged. Now, it was natural af ter being deceived by Mr. Lincoln in sacrificing tlie life of his friend, he should seek revenge. So Booth organ ized a plot to kill Mr. Lincoln and did do It. The details of the assassina tion are so well known that it Is not necessary to repeat them here. ? W. B. Fort in Scottish Chief. St. Albans, Vt. ? \V. L.

Our modern housewife, be she bride or matron. does not prepare breakfast in a be-rlbboned and he-ruffled morn ing Jrobe, or dinner in a passe after* nooif frock. She delights iu her trim morning dress, with ope'h throat, short skirt, and sleeves, developed in some fresh material which may lie tubbed every Monday morning. Her hair is drawn back daintily and becomingly, and often confined under a cap of the ? same material as ihe housed ress, to protect the hair from dust or cooking odors. Gingham, chambray and percale are the staple fabrics (or these dresses, but someone who deal red to simplify mat ters atlll further, decided that plain white soiled no (juieker than starched gingham or chambray ; that soft, white cotton crepe, Which washes so easily, requires no ironing, does not wrinkle, and i? fresher looking, was more prac tical, fot these dresses than the old time. fabrics Which require starch and careful laundering. Of course, many an old-time house wife laughed at Ihe idea and consider ed the very thought of housework in white ridiculous, but many have taken it up and find cotton crepe, whether in pure white, or patterned in color, a most satisfactory and practical mater ial for the workdress. The gardening fad, which took a strong hold upon the fancy of the city dweller and the suburbanite, this sum mer, was resi?onsible for the Introduc tion of the smock. It has become de cidedly popular with housekeepers and promises to find a permanent place in the wardrobe. These smocks are fash ioned of dark blue linen, chambray, duck, and similar materials, often ! trimmed with smocking In contrasting Charming Hea Martin who play* "P ,,r>? i" supremo Huoreaa of upeee&ijfcn, "IVk ?'

Muttons are ? used to trim these dresses, too; hut they must be a wash able button ? bone or crocheted. Pearl buttons, which are not removable, are apt to breftk when the garment is laun dered. The large pearl or bone hut torts, however, the shanks of whicli may be slipped through buttonholed eyelets, secured with a bar, and removed when the frock goes to the tub, are the height of the practical. The German Estimate. A (ierman estimate of the physical results of the first year of the Euro pean war was received by the bureau -of foreign and domestic commerce on last Wednesday in a report from the American association of Commerce anil Trade of Herltn. The rej?ort said : "It is of interest at the close of the tllst war year to record tlio amount of hostile territory occupied by the bel Jigouts. In regard to prisoners taken, only (ierman data is available. The territory occupied by the Allies con sists of : In (WLtola, 8,8(11 Hquare tntles; in Alsace Lorraine, 405 square utiles, a total of 4,20(5 square miles. This territory is about the size of the state , of Connecticut, The . territory occupied by the central jK>wers con sists of: In Belgium, 11,107 square miles ; in France, 8,108 square miles ; In Hussln, 50,193 square miles f a total of 00,498 square miles: This territory is about the size of the state of Mis souri and about one-third the size of the German empire." The estimate tixed tho number of prisoners taken by the. central powers at 1,094,800, of which 8,tl)0 are officers, and the num ber of guns captured at 8,000 field pieces and 3,000 machine guns. New Bern, N. C.^ ? A 3 gallon carboy of "monkey rum" in the office of U. S. Commissioner Chas. B. Mill, showed the color of the liquor to be milky and the smell like that of molasses. Moonshiners' in North Carolina are making and selling it in large quan tities. It is made or water, molasses and certain* unknown chemicals. Af ter wording, the liquor is 100 proof, and a saucerful will bum for five min utes when lighted. The "monkey rum jag" lasts three times as long as a whiskey drunk, and ends with fright ful delirium tremens. t London, Eng. ?
