The Embroidery of History.

One Of the bits of history most
familiar to Americans is jackson
battle of New Orleans, where, from
behind MS breaSt-work of cotton bales
ca material which the enemy's cannon
could not pierce, he repulSed with
prodigious slaughter Packenham's
veterans, fresh from their european
victories. This story of the rampant
of cotton, as related in both English
and American histories, Is, however,
purely apocryphai. Its origin seems
to have been the fact that, many days
before the battle of January (for
Jacl sons troops had been working
steadily at the intrenchments since
thristmaS), about fifty cotton bales
were taken out of a neighborlng flat
boat and thrown into line of earth
works to increase its bulk. About a
week before the assault, in "A prellmi-
nary Skirlsh, rs Walker tells.us in his
Jackson and New Orleans the
enemy's balls, striking one of these
bales, knocked it out of the mound,
set fire TO the cotton, and sent II Tying
about. to the great danger of the ann
munltiOn. All the bales were cOnse-
quently removed. After this" con-
tinueS the account, mo cotton bales
were ever used in the breastwork.
The mound was composed entirely of
earth dug from the canal and the held
in the rear. The experiment of using
cotton and other articles in raising the
embankment had been discarded"
Again, tor eighteen years after this
battle it was gospel with us that the
British officers at dawn promised
tueir troops plentiful dinner in New
Orleans, and gave them Booty and
Beauty as the parole and countersign
OF the day In 1898, Gen. Lambert
and four other British officers, who
had been engaged in the lucklesS eNpe-
dltion, denied tins story, which accord
Iugly has meaSurably vanished out of
history. The absurd fiction of " Booty
ana Beauty" watchword reappears,
however, at intervals in our own civil
war. ast rlbed To Gen. Beduregard and
other Confederate officers,

a great assistance to the mother. or
whoever has in charge the domestic
machinery, is a short sleep in the
middle of the day. Drop all care, steal
away just for little while, and give
the weary muscles and excited brain
and perhaps the unstrung nerves. a
rest. Rest! the very thought of it is
comfortable! How it does tighten the
cares and facilitate the duties of the
afternoon. How much more easily We
can carry the burdens that seem to ac-
cumulate as the day declines. The
little ones are returning from school
and need a mothers attention. The
market man is here, AMI we must
make out our list for the morroW's
wants. Bddy needs directions in the
Kitchen, and we must see that all parts
Of the house are quiet and settled in
order. How fresh and invigorated we
feel to go about all this and a thousand
other trlfles that are the routine of
every day duties, when we have re-
freshed ourselves with an hours sleep
at midday. Do not say you cannot
spare the time, for you are gaining
time by it. You will surely last
longer. You will be spared longer to
the loved ones around you, if you will
orly spare yOurseJ.
They Will need your care for many
years yet, and to this end you must be
economical of your health and strength.

by which the villagers assembled to the
church on the brow of the hill. This
is the narrative in Peters " History of
Connecticut, a book which Dwight
calls "a mass of folly and falsehood."
The story of the stairway is sheer fab
rlcatlon, founded on the fact that COM
mon stones here and there aided the
villagers to ascend the hill; yet there
exist pictures of Putnam charging
down long tier of steps as well de-
fined and regular as those of the
Capitol at Washington, while the di-
comfited dragons at the top pour in a
yolley that does not harm him.

scriptions of "Sheridan's ride" at

Human Nature.

fortunately, many of these. in the
estimation OF very good housewives,

the virtues of these excellent men are
