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.. ]

( ^ 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.

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

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. The home of Mrs!
T W Brightman on Bay street
was the scene of this happy 1
event, which was in the nature '
of a card party and linen show- '
er for the coming- bride.
An artistic scheme of decora- 1
tion was used?delicate strands ]
of Southern smilax were every- i
where clinging to the draperies
and climbing in graceful fash- .
ion over windows and doorway. ^
Crimson, berried holly was effectively
used and the lights
were softened with hoods *f
scarlet paper.
Crimson hearts were signifi- ^
cantly placed everywhere and '
when the guests had assembled 1
little heart-shaped score cards
were distributed and the merry \
game of hearts began. I
A mysterious heart of enor- j
mous size was suspended over ;
one of the tables and kept its
secret closely until Miss Burns
reached this table?Misses Em- (

showered with a beautiful and
costly array of linen. '
When the merriment was over 1
and the scores collected it was "
found that Miss Emmie Owens '
was the winner of the first prize, 1
a plate of exquisite china in
beautiful design. This she pre* t
sented to Miss Burns. A dainty t
pin tray in red was the consola- <i
tion prize and was won by Mr6 I
T W Brightman. 1
The guests then gathered in f
the dining room where tempting
refreshments were served and ^
the health of the future bride a
was pledged. Many candles j
thrrw a soft glow over the t
table, which was beautiful ar- ^
ranged in the centre and decor- t
ited with sprays of holly tied ^
with red ribbons.

The Last Run.
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." <

A4_ong Legged Deer.
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

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 History of the Kite.
The invention of the kite is usually
attributed to the Chinese. 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."
