A Drill That Seemed Easy.

From the "RecOliections of a Pri-

quote the following: ''After enlsting

time thought the drill-master need
lessly fussy about shouldering, order
ing, and presenting arms. The mus
ket, after an hours drill, seemed heav-
ier and less ornamental than it had
looked to be, The first day went out
to drill, getting tired of doing the
same thing over and over, l said to the
drll-sergeant; Let's stop this fooling
and go over to the grocery His only

The Stampede From Bull Run.

From the '.Recollections of q Pri-
vate," in the November Century, we
quote the following: THAT was the
fault of the officers who allowed the
baggage wagons to come to the front,
instead of being parked at Centreville.
The stampede and confusion began
among them first. Why, the men were
so little frightened when they began to
fall back in groups scattered through
the fields that | saw them stop fire.
ened men don't act in that way. At
Cub Run, between the Stone Bridge
and Centreville, the irresponsible team
sters, with the baggage-wagons, were
all crowded together near the bridge,
and We're in desperate hurry TO cross.
A Rebel bait ry began dropping shell
in among them, and thus demolished
some of the wagons and blocked the
way. The confusion and hurry and
excitement thens began. The drivers
on the south side, finding they couldn't
cross with their wagons, now began to
cut their traces and mount their horses
and hurry away. Those who drove
baggage-wagons on the safe side of
Cub Run then, began to desert them
and cut the traces and shout and gal
lop off. The infantry, seeing this con-
fusion and not understanding the cause
of it, quickened their pace. Soon the
narrow road became filled with flying
troops, horses, baggage-wagOns, and
carriages. Then the volunteers began
to throw away their muskets and equip
ments, so as 10 stand an even nance
i'm the race. Here and there, all along
the route, abandoned wagons had been
overturned and were blocking the way.
One Whitehead ed citizen. an old man,
looking very sorrowful, stood directing
the soldiers on their way to Washing
ton, saving: You'd better hurry on, or
the cavalry will cut off Your retreatr
The houses all along the route were
filled with wounded men, while the
ambulances were filled with officers
fastening to Washington. Soldiers
here and there marched in groups. and
sorrowfully discussed the situation and
its causes. The expression heard on
every side among them was this: Why
were not the reserves brought up from
Centreville to help usP" Why didn't
they bring up the troops from Fairfax
Court House? it seems to
me, hard to answer, even if they did
come from private soldiers running
away from the field Of Bull Run"

The Lessons in Chess.


o. the ancient game OF the Persian race, what
mystical, curious thing
The queen with her glorious, mnlchIess
strength, the feeble. protected king.
The castles, and knights and bishops, the ar
ray of devoted pawnS, ~
The rapt and silent sages who play TIL the
morning daMiS. .
The bold and brilliant gambit the skilirul and
strong defense
On tue miniature field OF battle, the hourS Oh
deep suspeRSel
But not with such zeal We played it, but only
when evening came
We bent o er the board together, and taught
you the grand old game.
The moves were learned but slowly. and too
often were wrongly made.
And We whispered over the chess board, half
forgetting the game We played;
Then, with blush, quick starting, you turned
to the board once more
And checked my king with a bishop that was
not on that line before.
You broke my host for 1.-THE scholars mate -
though the simple foil knew,
But 1t often brought me quick defeat when
the moves were made by youi
a nd many game was lost by me that might
with ease have won,
To watch the innocent pride, my love, In your
eyes when the play WAS done.
Do you think you could play the game to-
night, as the shadows of twilight die?
Instead OF my king would you check yoar own
as you did in the days gone by?
You may have forgotten the moves, indeed,
but know have cause to hless
The love-fft hours of long ago, when taught
you the game of chess.
U, little 1t mAttered who won or lost, SO long as
your eyes met mine,
With the sweet. shy look that knew well,
while d smile on your face would shine.
And. whether in victory or defeat, my heart a
fond hope held fast,
And fortune smiled ON the game T played, for
captured my queen at last.

Three Kinds of Shoes.

Nothing can be so injurious to
growing girls foot as to put it in a shoe
pointed at the toe, thereby turning the
great toe inward, and producing one
of the greatest plaques of life-corns,
or worse still, bunions. Young child
rem should invariably wear straight
shoes, with ''elastic waists" as they
are called, giving play TO the muscles,
and which in adults permits the wear
er to walk long distances without IA
tiGue. If heels are used at all, they
should be low. There are three kinds
of boots and shoes-thOse made on
purely hy@icnic principles, without any
consideration as To fashion; those that
are purely fashionable, and the happy
medium that combines the two. L
should suggest TO my readers to con-
suit their interests by turning their at
tention TO the third class. for it is de-
cidediy the right path There are some
new inventions in waterproof soleS,
some new pe@9ed sOlcs for running
shoes. and many for the riders on BIZ
cycles and tricycleS. The 'cyclist shoe
seems to combine all the merits requir-
ed, for it prevents slipping and gives a
powerful grip on the treadle, enabling
the wearer TO ride up hill with compar-
ative ease. y An excellent invention is
the damp-proof boot sole, which con-
sists of light metal plate, or skeleton
frame, provided with solid projections
or teeth, which are forced into and
through the outer sole from the upper
side and are thus permanently imbed-
ded in the leather. 1t is an ineXpen-
sive article, and suitable for all des-
criptions of boots and shoes, and per-
fectly pliable to the motion of the foot.
The sole is prevented from running
over and the upper kept in place with
out the inconvenience of heavy nailed
boots. They are light and indestructi-
