Presence Of Mind.

It is easier to talk about presence of
mind in trying circumstances than 1t is
to practice it. 1t is often easier TO
practice it in the face of impending
danger than when surprised by a mere
cOntretempts. London society relates an
amusing instance of imperturbable cool
ness that is worthy OF emulation. At
leading theatre where a certain gentle
man had the entree ia the stage, he was
once coversing with the pleasing actress
who was to open the play, and was al
ready seated at he inevitable table. The
conversation was interesting. Suddenly
the curtain rose, and revealed to the
audience an unexpected tablesu. OF
course the gentleman rushed away in
the conventional fashion, pursued by
wells from the gallery and the nOt-at-
tempted-to-be-suppr oath of the
staqe manager. Nothing of the kind.
He rose deliberately and with a low
bowie was in evening costume - said:
90 shalt let Sir Charles know Of your
arrival. Goodbye. Au revOiTl" A
mazing composure! OF course, there
was some speculation in the audience at
the excessive brevity Of the frst scene
and as to what had Become of "Sir Char
les" whose name was not in the bill /;
and, indeed some wonder why the gentle,
manly actor did not appear again But
the gentleman by his ready wit not only
made a good impression, but saved a
scene" of far different character.

DeadenIug the Roar of Steam.

Everybody that travels has expert
enced the annoyance OF having his ears
deafened when on board a steamboat by
the roar of steam. Sometimes accidents
have occurred during the racket of
" blowing-of" simply because the cap
tain cannot make his orders heard, and
" srythiRg s to be done in dumb show
while the disturbance lasts. Happily an
invention called the spiral exhaust noz-
&c, is destined to choke off this noise
1t operates by breaking the waves OF
sound, the escaping steam being suTound
ed with wire helix. a TePO adopted
by the committee on Science and Arts o.
the Franklin Institute says: In view
OF the annoyance, fright and danger
arising from the roar Of escaping steam
and Of the completeness with when the
nozzle destroys this roar, we are OF the
opinion that Mr. Shaw hes done a great
service to the community, and especially
70 the transportation interests, IN over
coming an obnoxious and dangerous Tea
ture in the use Of steam and we recomend
the award to him CT the Scott legacy pre-
MUM and medal for his spiral exhaust
nozzle.

UnendurabIe

Twelve days ago the first real battle
since the fall of Ardahau took place. Six
days ago there was another. In these two
engagements probably not less than two
or three thousand men were wounded
There were no ambulanCes on the field,
no surgeons; in fact no preparations what
ever for caring for the wounded. The
poor fellows, afUef lying for hours, per
haps days, where they fell, we're finally
loaded on to OK carts and started of for
Erzeroum, fifty miles away. After lying
for three or four days on these carts,
under the burning sun, and covered with
dust, they finally arrive in ErzerOum and
are put into a khan, where they spend
the night lying on the bare floor, with
not so much as a blanket to cover them.
About eight o'clock this morning Mr.. @.
and myself, with two native assistants,
gained admittance to the khan, having
the day previous succeeded, after much
yexatiOus delay, in obtaining a paper
from the government, without which we
should be unable to do anything. I'M
mediately ON entering we saw a sight
which can never be forgotten. 1t was a
man wounded in the face. The ball had
entered the left cheek, making q fearful
hole, and passed out just under the nose.

was still undrcssed. Such a sight hope
never to see again. The stencil was some
thing fearful, and the mans cheek,
tongue, mouth, and nose literally alive
with worms. For want of better instru-
ment, l took my pocket knife and sue
ceeded in dislodging a number of white
worms half an inch long. After awhile
/ got a very small pair of tweezeis, with
which at least one hundred were taken
out By the aid of a surgen, who hap
pened in, the wound was cleaned as
much as possible, boUud up, a clean shirt
put on the man; and a blanket procured,
OH which we left him. The poor fellow
was afterward taken to the hospital,
where he will probably die for want Ot
care. One other poor fellow, whose leg
was shattered by rifle ball, was in much
the same condition, though the worms
were not quite so numerous as in the
other case. We remained in the khan
till one o'clock, during which time we
helped to dress at least sixty wounds,
providing our own bandages, lint, sFOnges,
etc, distributing quantity OF shirts,
and also bread, for the men were hungry.
Thanks to the Red Cross society, we
have some twenty-five shirts, a small
number of bandages, a very little lint,
and also a few pairs of drawers. But

French Dress in San Francisco.

The native California women OF earlier
days were excessively fond of dress, and
for the fineries and fripperies they fan
cied they would pay almost any price.
Years and years ago, before this coast was
Americanized, the hats, ribb0ns, scarfs
and dress goods which the olive com plex-
iened senoritas wore were the ventures of
B ,stou Yankees who took their pay in
hides and tallow, aud who got rich out
of their speeulatiOnS. The mania fer
dress has never abated, and to day the
modern fashiOnables OF San Francisco in
dulee in an extravaganza OF silks and
laces and gems and gewgaws which would
have crazed the head OF Spanish belle,
and bankrupted the Mexican treasury.
| don't believe there is any city in the
world where women dress more eXPen-
sively than they do here. Tney seem to
run to fashion and to milliOnaiTes, the
latter of course being expected TO foot the
bills without a murmuT as soon as the
nltptiaI knot Is tied. NotOnly are the
costliest of fabrics worn, but they are in
stantly changed with the advent of the
latest Partisan novelties, no matter how
often the transition. The wardrobe oi

her labor, directed in her choice by a
mothers grief aud guided by motherly
sympathy. Some years ago the Countess
Ebersburg-the lady in questiOn-lost
her two children, and her morbid grief
manifested itself in a longing to study
the statistics of finfant mortality through
out the kingdom. She found that 2O0,-
600 children under FIVE years of age die
annually in England. and thaG three per7
cent. of the victims might be ssved with
ordinary care. As her own home was
desolate she determined to do something
to save other homes threatened bv ig
norance and poverty. She established
meetings at which mothers OF the poorer
classes might assemble and be taught
how to preserve their own health and
that of their infants. ana sne issued
sanitary tracts giving directions IN re-
gard 10 household management. This
machinery for disseminating good ad-
vice was supplemented by q plan for
distributing material aid; and the
Countess, partly out of her own means
and partly through contributions from
her friends, procured and give away
prepared food for ailing children, finally
arranging the poorest parts of London into
districts and distributing 5000 pounds
of baby food annually, In due time. too
she secured q sanitarium in the country,
where those to whom pure air offered the

and a day nursery. where mothers who

that the baptismal register did not con

it afforded no proof Of biTth---hence she
was entitled to call the midwife and

replied that the point now TO be estab

countess, and her right to rank as Cardi-
nal Antonelli's heiress. As regarded the
mother, that was a matter for after con-
siderstion. The plaintiffs counsel re-
trained from mentioning her name, be
cause his clients were anxious TO avoid
the painful Consequences which would in
eyitably follow, involving persons other

theless, if it could not be avoided, he
should, when the time came. he prepared
to reveal her name, leaving the response

He Had Been in the War.

An old soldier, who went through the
war of the rebellion, doing duty at Antie-
tam, Pea Ridge, Lookout Mountain, Get
tysburg, etc, was in Pittsburg on the late
dreadful Sunday. He was struck in the
small of the back with a lump of coal,
but you could not discover that he took
any note of it. A bick-bat hit him
alongside of the head, and a smile stole
across the old mans face. Then q dozen
pistol shots were heard, and bullet car
ried away the warriors left ear. The old
man held his sides and laughed until
they heard him over in Allegheny. As
he wiped the blood from the side of his
head he fairly yelled with delight
% That's business" he exclaimed. Z" That
does a mans sOal good. If somebody
will only have the kindness to shoot me

How to Write an Agreeable StrIe.

Dryden found himself one day after
dinner party il company with the
Duke of Buckingham, Lord Rochester
and Lord Dorset. The conversation
turned upon the English Language, on
harmony of numbers and the elegance of
style, which merits each of the three
lords believed himself to possess in the
highest dSgree. After a good deal of
diSputing it was determined to refer the
matter to Dryden. The proof was to
consist in each writing an article on the
first subject that presented itself, and the
pieces of paper having been placed under
the Caudlestick, Dryden was to draw
them out and determine which was the
best. The three lords set to work, and,
while Rochester and buckingham were
exerting their brains to invent some
sparkling epigram or turn of thought,
DOrset was observed to write few lines
carelessly aud without the least hcsita-
ton.
Dryden, having examined the papers
gave his judgment. Gentlemen,
said he to the Duke of Buckingham and
Lord Rochester, ''your style u excel
lent, and has pleased me extremely, but
am perfectly delighted with that. o.
Lord Dorset. ] leave you to judge,
listen" Dryden read:
"On the lst of next May ! will paw to
John Dryden, or order, the sum OF five
hundred pounds sterling, value received.
April Is, 1886.
(Signed) ''DORsEr"
Lord Rochester and the Duke OF
buckingham confessed that they could
not write like that, and that Lord Dor
-et's style was the best they had ever
heard of.
