The ex-Blares of Alabama are prepar ing to organize an association to which Bone of the late-day negroes will be ad mitted. After the afisociatioa has beco organized It Is Intended to have state associations, and then take In all the old-time negroes of the slave-holding Utes. And why not, pray? These ex-slaves belonged" to the best families of the south, and they base their claims to ocial auperiorlty upon their aristo cratic connections before the war. In good breeding and Imposing bearing .ou.u oe Hard to And their equals mong the best educated of what they ometlmes condescendingly call "the late-day negroes." Many of them en Joyed social advantages of the highest wuer. i ne old house servants had con tantly before their eyes some of the best types of ladies and gentlemen to be found In the world. They studied the manners of their masters and mis tresses, Imitated their style of conversa uuu, ana insensibly modeled them selves In all particulars after the fine examples before them. Many years of ireeaom nave not Impaired their good breeding nor their pride in the social school in which they were brought up. They feel that they belong to a socially distinguished class, that they have a past worth cherishing and preserving, and that they have a right to be ex clusive. Why should they not found a society of their own. based on their social traditions? Possibly, if they were to Investigate the subject closely they would be able to discover many deeds of merit and courage performed by their ancestors In colonial and revo lutionary times which would entitle them to form revolutionary and colon ial societies. At present they only pro pose to go back to the general period in time designated by the phrase "before the war." The colonial and revolution ary pedigree may and probably will come later. BEES AT ASCOT. Race- They Made Things Lively at the Trark for a While. A curious Incident occurred at Ascot While a large number of pleasant luncheon parties were enjoying the de lights of an open-air repast In the gar dens behind the grand stand a great swarm of bees settled down on the guests around a table In a corner, says London Telegraph. They buzzed and buzzed everywhere. Ladies had bees In their bonnets and gentlemen found their hats turned Into striking like nesses of "Catch-'em-allve-oh's." Some of the swarm settled on the cold sal mon, and other members of it tumbled Into the champagne cup. In fact, the bees created the greatest consternation among the ladles and gentlemen in that portion of the grounds. They were gradually drawn off the luncheon party by a gentleman, to whom occurred the happy idea of treating them to a. little music on a metal tray under a tree. After the tapping or tinkling on the article had continued for two or three moments the queen bee settled on the branches above to listen to It, and was at once followed by all the swarm. It was an extraordinary sight to see hun dreds of the insects hanging lfke great black and gold clusters onthe tree while the tinklink continued. It ceased ' with the luncheon, and the bees did no more harm. In the earlier part of the performance a lady was pretty severely Uung. Oaa of iha War la M Mr a a Maa IVriHMaata Ilia Mvsaory. A man may win wldegpread and long-enduring fame by founding an In stitution of learning which shall bear his name, says New York Sun. The cry "Cornell" was heard over England last week It had long been familiar in the United States; and the years have added lustre to the memory of Ezra Cornell, who founded the university at Ithaca, ti. V., which was chartered thirty years ago, and opened for stu dent In 1S6S, during the Presidency of Andrew Johnson. The name of the Rev. John Harvard of England and Massachusetts has been commemorated for more than two centuries and a half as the founder of Harvard college, now known as Harvard university. The name of Elihu Vale, born in New Haven, Conn., died In England, is era balmed In Yale university, formerly known as Yale college, which enjoyed his benefactions In the first quarter of the eighteenth century. In California there Is Stanford university, named af ter a son of the late Leland Stanford; there Is the Johns Hopkins university In Baltimore; then is Vanderbilt uni versity in Tennessee: there Is Vassar college near Poughkeepsie called after Matthew Vassar, and there are many other universities or colleges called af ter their founders or benefactors. The Rev Dr. Marcus Whitman, a pioneer in the farthest west, Is commemorated la Whitman college, soon to be university, In the state of Washington. If one can not found a university or a college, a seminary may serve to perpetuate his name. At East Hampton, in Massa chusetts, there is Williston seminary, named after their founders. It may be ton; and there are in the country hun dreds of other Institutions of the kind named after their founders. It may be inferred from the examples here that the man who desires to perpetuate bis memory would do well to establish a university, college, seminary, or other institution of learning, and give it his name.

"In view of the recent changes," saia Mrs. Bloomer decidedly, "there should he some alterations in the old nursery rhymes before they are allowed in any modern house." "Such as what, my dear?" asked her husband. "Well, 1 was thinking of that rhyme, 'Polly, put the kettle on,' " replied Mrs. Bloomer. "It does sound absurd in these days," admitted her husband. "Absurd!" she exclaimed. "It's ab solutely idiotic. It should be changed to read 'Willie' or 'Harry' to make It eem sensible." Would Contract Hank Currency. At the treasury department It Is said that Sovereign's plan for boycotting na tional bank notes, if carried out, would prove more harmful than beneficial to the Interests of the country, as it would contract the currency to the extent of $211,000,000 without injuring national banks. "It would not hurt the national banks at all," said O. P. Tucker, deputy comptroller of the currency. "If people should refuse to receive their notes the banks would simply present them to the United States treasury for redemp tion and receive legal tender notfs, which they would continue to use in their business. There are only $211,000, 000 of national bank notes in circula tion, while there are $950,000,000 of other kinds of money outstanding." Ex. They Were Real One, bnt 11a Signed the 1'ledK. A good story is told about Major Bar tow of Georgia. This gentleman's eX' citing war reminiscences, together with his ability to absorb the product of the still' without apparent Injury to his constitution or impediment to his loco motion, earned him fame and great prestige among the convivial spirits in his native town. The major, while sup erintending the cultivation of his to bacco crop, one day found six pretty round eggs, and so greatly pleased was he at their beautiful appearance that he picked them up, and carefully wrap ping them in his handkerchief stowed them away In his pocket, Intending to take them home as playthings for his grandchildren. He forgot all about them, however, and Indeed for several days thereafter the eggs remained undisturbed. In the meanwhile, assisted by the warmth of the surroundings, nature had wrought a change the eggs were no longer eggs, but so many animate creatures destined to give the unconscious owner of their birthplace such a shock as he had never experienced since the hour of his first battle. It happened thus: One evening the major was entertaining a group of his admiring friends with most exciting chapter from his experi ence on the tented field, when in the course of his naratlve he paused, drew out his 'kerchief to wipe his face, and lo! six very lively little snakes wiggled j down the front of his waistcoat and j onto the table at which he sat. The major's face was a study for the cam era; his eyes bulged out till they ap ' peared twice their natural size, his mouth became a cavern, and his com plexion changed from a brick red. to a leaden hue. He remained tranfixed for the space of twenty seconds, then with a yell that could be heard half over the village he fled out into the night. Rumor has it that he signed the pledge before morning, but the rumor has no foundation in fact. An Indignant Mother. "Look here," said a lodger to his land lady, "your daughter has been using my comb and brush again!" "I beg your pardon," said the land lady, indignantly. "I never allow my children to meddle with my lodgers' belongings in any way." "Eat I am sure she has been using them," said the lodger, "for there are long black hairs on them and she Is the only person with black hair in the house." "Oh, now I remember, she did have them to comb and brush our dear old poodle," said the landlady, "but I am quite sure she did not use them for her selfshe's too honest to be guilty of Uiat sort of thing." Jlcr Nerve Failed. Mrs. Agnes Dickinson, 65 years old, of Philadelphia, attempted to com mit suicide recently by cutting her throat with a knife. She failed in her purpose becaue -'-"'s too fat. She suc ceeded In lnflIlf.fe?r&Veral gashes, how ever, but her nerve failed her before she could cut through the great folds of flesh on her throat. Then she fainted. Frnlt Son. Fruit soups are more common abroad than here. They are served cold of course and are a pleasant and easily prepared novelty for the' company sum mer luncheon. Mrs. Rorer's recipes for cherry soup calls for one quart of sour cherries and one quart of cold water over the fire; when boiling add half a cup of sugar and press through a colander and return to the fire, Moisten one tablespoonful of arrow- rood, add it to the boiling mixture, cook a moment, add one tablespoonful lemon juice, and turn out to cool. Serve cold In glasses with a little cracked ice. w CO i i P3 D Ph & J O t w 3 02 n a C5 W 9 J. to TS o : to : 2 2 : : K . : tc Z : : " m to Ah I o o : . . . w g . 9 ; ; CONTRIBUTORS. Hon. John V.
