It will in consequence be the privilege of all to make and receive calls any day or evening during the week. Many have felt tho restriction as well an the convenience of having a day in whih their frlenda know they are at hnme. For the former there will be relief, for with tho knewledge that one day must be set apart for home, that has been the day when the day seems the nest irksome and the one for which much ir.Uht be planned.

Down here in Mississippi the scuppernong grape finds its farthest Southern foothold, 1 think: at least. I have not found it fartter aay. Travelers to Asheville and Florida will remember that it is the wine that is served at that celebrated railway restaurant in North Carolina where the proprietor and the waiters vie with one another in forcing "extras" and second portions of the nicest dishes upon the wayfarers. There can scarcely be such another restaurant as that. "Do have another quail," says the proprietor. "Let me give you more of this scuppernong wine. It is made here, and is perfectly rure." "Won t you take an orange or two into the car with you?" or "Here's a bunch of fresh flowers to give to your ladies." The scuppernong wine has even moro of that peculiar "fruity" flavor than the best California wines a flavor that 1 am barbarian enough to prefer to the "pucker" of the imported claret. You may have it with your rncals in Biloxi. Aud if you are a drinking man, whleH heaven rorefend. . you may have "toddy" In the style that obtains from Virginia to farthermost Texas, and that has been imported to Arkansas, Missouri, and the Indian Territory. - It was on the banks of the Arkansas river, in Indian Territory, that I made the acquaintance of this method of as a friend of mine would say "spoiling good, liquor." The famous Indian 'champion. Mr. Boudinot. Introduced me to a planter whose two cabins, sldo by side and joined by a single rooff formed the ' most picturesque home, that T ww on' that splendid river. 1 was introduced as plain "miater," but that would hot do down there. "Colonel Ralph." said the planter, "enjoy this yer boundless panorama of nature. Feast yo eyei, sah; gn the beautitul river." (Then asUe: "Wife, Bet out the mixin's In the back ooao.") "Colonel Ralph, you

are welcome to share with us this grand feast, of scepery and nature's ornaments. But, s.jh. I think my wife has set out something-just a little something in the house. I dun'no what It is, sah, but if you And it good. I shall be delighted, sah." So we went into the back room with this other Colone Mulberry Sellers,' and there on the dining table stocfd a bottle, a bowl of sugar, three glasses and spoons, and a glass pitcher full of spring water. "Serve yourself to a toddy, Colonel," said my host. "I'll watch you first." said I. "I don't know what a toddy is." "Don't know what a toddy is?" said the hospitable man. "Why, sah. that does seem strange to me. Back in gran ole Virginia, sah, we children were all brought up on it, sah. Every morning my revered father and my sainted mother began the day with a toddy, sah, and as we children appeared my mother prepared for each one an especially tempered drink of the same, sah, putting I regret to say a little more water. In mine than the others be cause I was the youngest of the children." As he spoke he dipped some su?ar into hi3 glass, poured in a little water, sufficient to make a syrup when the two Ingredients were stirred with a spoon, and then emptied in an Arkansas "stiffener" of whisky a jorum, as the English would say. That is the drink of the fouth. where drinking. without being carried to any excess that I ever witnessed, still remains a genteel accomplishment, as it was held to be by the English, Scotch and Irish, who were the progenitors of nearly all our Southern brothers. MUSIC AND ART NOTES, The annual business meeting of the Matinee Musical will be held Wednesday afternoon at the Propylaeum. The Amateurs held their last meeting for the season yesterday afternoon, with essays and music of modern composers for the programme. The American Art Journal says: Mr. Alfred Delbruck, a song writer of note in Paris, and who has written the music for a ballet that has been accepted In Berlin, has written a song for the baritone, Charles Holman-Rlark. which has for its English title "All for Her." On its first hearing it had such a success that a repetition of the entire song was demanded. The China painters of the city have bouKht the large Satsuma vase which was the property of the Kindergarten Society, and have presented it to tho Art Association, and it will hereafter form a part of its art collection. Until now the property in art of the Art Association has consisted of paintinKS. Mrs. May Wright Sewall, president of the association, has sent a letter, acknowledging the receipt of the vase, to the donors. There will be a concert given at the First Baptist Church Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Woodruff Place Chapel organ fund. The programme will include piano solos, "An Matni," by Godard, and "Valse Favorite," by Raff, played by Miss Florence Atkins; three songs by Mrs. Carolyn Winter Goetz: "Scene de Ballet" (violin), by De Berlo. .Air. William Atkins; baritone solo, Mr. Nell: soprano olo. "For All Eternity," by Mascherinl. Miss Mary Jeffery, with violin obligato by Mr. Atkins; cello solo. Mr. Irving Swan Brown: "Second Scherzo," bv Chopin, Miss Blanche O'Donnell; duet, Miss Jeffery and Mr. Ogle, and a trio, "Cavalieria Rusticana." by Majcagni, Mr. and Miss Atkins and Mr. Brown. The pupils of Knlckerbacker Hall entertained an audience of friends last evening with an operetta and a play. The operetta was given under the direction of Madame Kltchell and Mrs. Wolff, and the play, which was entirelv in French, was under the direction of Miss Clare. For the operetta, "Panathaenca," there was a Grecian scene. The scene Is laid in Athens and is a festival given in honor of Pallas Athena. There were solos and concerted numbers by the young ladles, which were pleasing. The costumes were of classic Greece and were very picturesque, being in white or delicate colors. There were choruses by the muses, nymphs and graces. The cast included Miss Edith Bingham, leader of the muses, and later representing Summer: Miss Grace Adams, as Euterpe; Miss Belle Bannon, as Fortuna; Miss Thayer, as leader of the sea nymphs; Miss Augusta Hunter, as Spring: Miss Lucy Ranney, as Autumn; Miss Camille Baen, as Winter; Miss Lillie Rannon, as Hebe; Miss Rose Budd, as Echo; Miss Carlesta Von Hake, as leader of the graces; Mis3 Edith Anderson, as Iris; Miss Lillie Bannon, a3 Night, and Miss Von Hake, as Slumber; Miss Grace Adams, as Athena; Misses Anna Boyd, Violet Rhodes, Laura GUlett and Nannie Miller, as train bearers; Miss Alma Stewart and Virginia Shaw, as maids; M'ss Alexandria Hale, as the Traveler, and Misses Mary Kahlo. Ora Sala and Grace Shepard, as the Greeks. The singing and acting were both enjoyable, and the audience testified its pleasure by applause. After the operetta there' was the French play, which showed the froflclency of tho pupils'in this fascinating anguage. The participants in the play, "A Scene from the French Revolution," adapted from Victor Hugo's "Quatre Veingt Trleze," were Miss Edith Bingham, Miss Augusta Hunter, Miss Hale, Miss Grace Cole, Miss Adams, Miss Sala, Miss Shepard and Miss Bannon. The opening of the Art Association's exhibit of the Richards collection of pictures, w-hieh is the principal feature of the May exhibition, will be postponed until Friday night, when the regular reception and first view to members will be given. Mrs. Samuel Richards has been requested to read a paper on "Indiana Art Twentyfive Years Ako," which will include extracts from .the opening chapters of her husband's biography, which she is preparing for publication, and which she hopes to complete in Munich next winter, where she will go to again breathe the atmosphere of art in which her husband lived for so many years, and to write of the artist life and environments abroad, amid the surrounding which so stimulated and helped to make him the artist whom Indiana enrolls as hers. It was said by his professors in the Munich Academy that no other American had ever been to Munich who gave such promise as he, and his untimely death was mourned there as well as here. The studies in oil and black and white which will be on view during this exhibit are snid to be unequaled, and Hamilton Hamilton, of New York, when he saw them in. his Denver studio, said there had never been any such work as some of these heads and figures in America. Mr. Richards was particularly averse to newspaper comment, and it was difficult during his life to get any mention from him of his work. He came home to get well, and his all-absorbing thought was to gain health and strength to do the pictures that existed in his heart and soul, and which lhe poor, weak hands were unable to put on canvas. Among his last wishes were "that I might live only five years longer to do what has been so long in my mind." The sketch of his last picture, which he so longed to have painted, is in the collection. It was to be the "Last Call," a significant title in view of all that came to his own life. In addition to the pictures of the Richards collection there will bo fifty-six pictures by the distinguished Swedish artist, n collection of Hassim's pictures and Florentine and Venetian sketches by Miss Williams..

Mil. .00.AVs XIGGET, It Is Worth $.100 nnd Wn Found In it Heap of Tailings. Portland Oregonlan. Martin Noonan, a Coeur d'Alene mining mnn, arrived in this city from Delta, Ida., yesterday with a $50) gold nugget in his pocket, Mr. Noonan has had nearly fQrty years' experience as a placer miner and prospector all over the West, and although, like the far-famed Reuben Glue, hi3 countenance is ornamented at the lower end by a little bunch of whiskers, there the similitude closes, for, unlike Reuben, Mr. Noonan really knows a thing or two. Mr. Noonan exhibited his big nugget to several persons yesterday. They viewed it with great curiosity, and wondered if it were really possible that so large a sum could represent the value of so small a chunk of quartz and yellow metal. It was about as large, and muh resembled in shape, a fair-sized Bartlett pear. A quantity of dirty-looking quartz was mixed up with it, and its rounded sides betrayed its origin in a bed of gravel. "There's too much quartz in it to be worth so much," said a bystander. "You can tell nothing by the looks of a nugget how much It is worth," said another bj-stander, who looked like a miner himself. "You can only tell by hefting It, you see, and, judging by the apparent weight of this, it is worth fully $300." "It weighs just 27i ounces." said Mr. Noonan, "and what quart there Is in it won't weigh much. It was rather odd how this here nugget came to be found. It lay in a heap of coarse tailings for live years before someone happened to pick It up. You see. it was forked out of the sluice box along with other rocks usually forked out to keep the box from being obstructed. The man that forked it out probably didn't notice its extra weight, or it would have been found much Fooner." "How often can a man pick up stones like this in the Coeur d'Alene country?" "Well, I don't know. It isn't exactly like digging potatoes in the Snake river valley. I have been looking for nuggets of all sizes for thirty-seven years, and this Is a good deal the biggest I have yet found. This one came from Trail Gulch, near Delta, Ida., and I have worked around that camp eleven years without seeing any others like this."
