A correspondent who recently visited
nichrnond , Va. , was given a Rllmpio of the
hccno life of General Lee's family. I wan
tmhcrcd Into ( lie parlor , says tlte writer , and
found It to bo a typical Leo room , Un tlu
wall hung a large painting of Geufr.tl Rob
ert E. Lee. A miniature of Mm wag on the
old-fashloncd mantel , and the ficc.i of the
other Lees were everywhere strewn nbjut.
In ono corner stood an old spinet. The
furniture was In white and Ljlli , and covered
with golden damask. Everything was In per
fect taste.
I was received by the general's eMtst
daughter , Mies Ellen Lee , a dainty young
woman , slight of form , with a ncaHti ot
auburn trcrecs , floflilng eyes an.l the unmis
takable Lee chid , bespeaking couraqo end
determination , I was naturally curb.IB to
know how the members of Hie family re
garded the gcnrtal's absence ro a mission of
euch gra\o Import. I asked Miss Lee If she
did not feel anxious , knowing the dangers
of her father' . ' ) position ?
"Not at all , " replied the daughter of the
house ot Lee. "I dcti't know why It Is , but
wo Just don't. Pcrhapo It Is because he
always writes to im Jolly , cheerlul letters.
Mono of us feel at all alarmed about him ,
and wo are looking forward to Ills safe re
turn. Hero Is an lnteretllng picture-he Lent
tin. " '
Miss Lee took from the mintel a small
photograph of the Maine entering the har
bor at Havana. "It was tent to all of us , "
Bho explained , "tout I have appropriated It
by writing my name on the back. You know
I am very fond of photography. I have a
camera mycolf and take almost everything I
ece. "
"Do you get many letters In rofcrenco to
your father's mission ? " I asked.
' * Yen , Indeed , wo get any number every
day. Homo of them are most affecting In
appreciation of my father's work , but some
of them arc more than funny In their warn
ings and misgivings. But we only laugh at
these.
"Wo can't help feeling proud of the ap
preciation of my fother's work as expressed
In sonio of the letters sent to us and in so
many of the newspapers. Of course , we feel
doubly proud that , as a southern man who
fought for the confederacy , my father has
been able to show how truly patriotic and
, d voted the southcir'nera ' now are to all of
the United States. This thought has come to
us by word of mouth and In some stanch let
ters from personrt wo never knew.
"And some of the people I meet do make
I the strangest remarks. Only the other day
some ono said to me , 'Da you know , I heard
your father was assassinated the other diy ? '
But I only laughed , for what could I say ?
"It will not bo Ion ? now , wo hope , before
ho returns to us aafe and sound , but mean-
tlmo wo have not the fllghtest misgivings
oa to his safety , and after all ho is but do
ing his duty. "
Ono would scarcely look for so heroic a
spirit In the little woman sitting before mo.
Hut the fire In her eye and the enthusiasm
of her voice betokened the daughter of a
eoldlcr , ready to oeo him do hH duty at any
cost. It Is not remarkable that t'ho should
Idollzo her father , and perhapa It Is no more
remarkable that all who know him love and
honor him.

Bar pins are In again. About fifteen years

BENEFACTION OF THE MAIDS
Qnilnt Easter Custom Prevalent in an

ANCIENT DOLE OF TWO SPINSTERS

On Easier Sunday there \a \ always great
influj. of visitors In the Kentish village of
Dlddenden. The people of the country from
and near gather In the quaint old church
o witness a distribution of cakes known as
ho "Blddenden Maids Benefaction. "
The dole had its origin about SOO years
ago. when there lived and died In this town
wo slaters called "tho Illddcndcn maids , "
who were born like the Siamese twins , Joined
OKCthcr by the bios and shoulders.
They were named Eliza and Mary Chulk-
hursl , and lived to be 34 years of age. Tra
dition states that Mary died first , and that
Eliza lived twenty-four hours Inseparably
olncd to the body of her dead slater.
illy their will they bequeathed to the church
wardens of the parish of Blddenden and
their successors twenty acres of land In
five parcels , which arc commonly called
"Dread and Cheese Lands. " The rental ot
thes-o lands , 40 guineas a year , Is spent In
buying cakee and ( bread , the former to be
distributed to all who attend service on
Easter Sunday. The bread , 270 loaves , is
given to parishioners.
Thcso gingerbread cakes are Impressed
with the figures of the two slaters side by
side. Over the figures arc their names ; 0:1 :
the body of one. "A 34 Y. " ( aged 34 } cars ) ;
on the body ot the other "In 1100 , " meaning
that they were born In 1100 at Ulddendcn.
In olden times the cakes were distributed
by the rector from the roof of the church ,
whereupon there ensued such a scratching
and scrambling that life and limb were In
danger , llev. W. Peterson , the present rec
tor , has arranged to make the distribution
of the cakes from the church at the close of
the service.
Frequently there Is a special service con
ducted for this purpose , and t'hc ' mementoes
of this unique charity are carefully handed
to the audience. Six hundred cakes are
usually made for this purpose , but many a
time they have fallen short , and many a
disappointed visitor has gouo away empty
handed.
Another quaint rlto and old-fashioned
ceremony , said to be the oldest OooJ Fri
day custom extant , Is one which takes place
In the ancient parish of St. Bartholomew the
Croat. It Is a picturesque function , oncb
seen to bo long remembered.
Upon a tombstone In the churchyard arc
set out twenty now sixpenny pieces , and by
the side of each a bag of hot cross buns
and an Easter card. At the proper moment
there inarch In goodly proceeslon from the
churoh twenty venerable , widowed women of
godly lives , who , a they pass the tomlbstone ,
take each of them ono of the sixpences , nno
of the buns and one of the cards.
It Is to be noted In this connection that
no bequest orglnally Instituted the usage.
Indeed , Ito origin Ifl now burled in the mlsta
of the dim , dark ages. Nevertheless , it Is
to a bequest It owes Its present resuscita
tion and vitality.
A few years ago Mr. J. W. Butterworth ,
F. S. A. , the celebrated antiquary and stu
dent 'of folk loro. Invested a sum sufficient
to perpetuate the Good Friday dole at St.
Bartholomew the Great for all time. Twenty
deserving widows of that parish are , there
fore , to enjoy sixteen cakes and buns rt
leai't ouco a year so long as the world
movee. .

A year ago last November I gave birth to n
10-pound baby boy , who is well avl | hourly ;
and I am doing my own housework. I ca-i
never give Pe-ru-na too great praise. I
think It the best meJlclne 1 ever hoard of.

Mrs. Brewer , of Westerly , R. I. , Is well
known la that "beautiful city. It would be
very difficult to find a moro enthusiastic
advocate of 'Pe-ru-na ' than Mrs. Brewer.
Her culture and popularity made Pe-ru-na
a favorite remedy In the State of Rhode
Island long before It was advertised In that
section.
Mrs. Llzzlo M. Brewer writes In a recent
letter to Dr. Hartman : "I was very much
pleased to read In our dally paper for the
first time that your remedy ( Pc-ru-na ) Is be
ing advertised 'In our city. I have been doIng -
Ing for years all that I could to make the
people of our city understand the virtues of
your remedies , and you Judge how glad 1 am
to see your remedies advertised In our
papers. I have used Pe-ru-na In my family
for over four years. I find it a sure cure
for all catarrhal affections so common In this
part of the country. It curca a cold at once.
There Is no cough medlclno that can at all
equal Pe-ru-na. As for la grlppo there Is
oo other remedy that can compare at all
With Pe-ru-na. "
When the baby has any trouble with its
liver or bowels , Instead of experimenting
with t'ho deadliest nostrums recommended for
children. Dr. Hartman's celebrated remedy
( Man-a-lln ) should be used. This remedy
saves the lives of many babies. At least
thla Is what Mrs. Rogers , ot Illinois , thinks.

In regard to my baby I will say that your
Man-a-lln saved hla life , and It was cerUiuly
a miracle , as ho had the Jaundice ( cause ! by
catarrh of the liver ) so bad that his life was
despaired of , and before I wrote you ho was
so thin his bones were pricking through his
flesh o bad I had to pad lib bands and
carry him on a pillow , illo then was three
months old , and when ho was seven months
old ho weighed 25 pounds. We sloped all
other trealment but yours , and now ho Is a
beautiful baby. Mrs. C. T. Rogers.

came routU as the escort of the dark-eyed

dropped of their marriage , both taking their

existed between them but warm friendship ,
The secret all came out last week , when
Bedell received a telegram calling him homo
