How Miss Cleveland Looks and Acts.
Philadelp hia Press.

correspondence Philadelphia Press.
Miss Cleveland has thoughtful, refined face,
not at ali handsome and not at all ugly. She is
decidedly sallow, and looks as if she might be
about forty eight or forty-nine years old. She
came here with short hair, rather gray. and
slightly waved all over her head. No woman
ever looks dignifed with short hair but it was
not urbecoming to her, and did not give her an
absolutely aggressive 'woman-lecturer" look. LIZ
she was so soon going to succumb to popular
opinion on the subject of short hair for women,
it is pity she didn't ''pin on" her 'coils and
puffs" before she came here for so marked a
change here would have caused comment in pri-
vate life, and in her case it has made no end OF
talk. The women who laughed and sneered at
her for wearing short hair, now do the same
thing because she has followed the fashion. Poor
woman! She looks anxious and worried, and
the sooner she learns to follow her brothers ex-
ample and gang her ain gait" the sooner she
will be happy.
Her dresses are not remarkable in any way;
she has quite pretty figure, and might look
better than she does if she would hire some
woman who has perfect taste to dress her, and
to stand over her dressmaker when her clothes
are fitted She appears like woman who has
given her attention to better and higher matters
than clothes but, then, clothes are one OF the
minor matters that women in her position must
attend to herself or have some one else to at
tend to. Her manners are perfectly courteous,
but not cordial; she has no society manner or
any kind. and it is quite easy to see that al
though she means to do her duty as the mistress
of the White House, it is simply duty to her,
and no more; that she is really very much bored
and very tired; that she receives guests every
day because she must, and that she is thankful
woman when her hour is finished.

Making Militiamen of Fair Maidens--Their
Readiness in Learning

Making Militiamen of Fair Rfaidens-Their
Readiness in Learning.
Washington Republican.
My experiment of instructing young ladies in
military tactics has caused more interest in the
matter than 1 thought it would" remarked
Sergeant Major Dunn, of the Marine Corps, last
night, to reporter for the Republican.
What led you to make the experiments"
asked the reporter.
"a mere freak of fancy. For many years I
have drilled both officers and men of the Marine
Corps, and also the Washington Light Infantry
and the National Rifles and their cadet
corps. / met with such success in
these undertakings that the thought occurred
to- me to turn my. attention to making
militiamen of fair maidens. | judge, though,
that the impression forced itself more firmly on
my mind by watching the stage drills of the
ladies in various plays of the Kiralfy troupe. I
am more than satisfied with the results of my
training of the amazonian manipulators A
curious name this to take, but if you could see
the way they handle the broom, a la militaire,
you would say that they we're % success"

None at all. / find that they enter into the
spirit OF the drill with more earnestness and zeal
than men do They are quicker to catch on

for ladies' 1t gives them an erect posture, devel-
ops the strength and gives free motion to the
body and limbs In the foot movements, such as
marching and wheeling, there is constant yet
regular movement and the cadence is governed
by the order of the instructor. When the man

is called for, the arms and body are kept in per-
petual motion There is also to bc added that
the eye and ear are trained to be quick and
sharp and the mind frightened will venture
to say, from my experience in drilling young
ladies, that it is not impossible to train them to
march and drill with neatness of execution
that would startle the veterans. I would not be
surprised to hear added, some day, the name of
some female corps entering into competition
with male companies for prizes. Ladies have

Fifty Clerical wheelmen ON a Tour in Canada.

There are in the United States about three
hundred clerical wheelmen, including twelve
some twelve authors, several editors and many
pastors of prominent churches. About forty or
fifty of these gentlemen are to unite in tour Of
three weeks in Canada, wheeling over 62l miles
of the best roads on this continent. The ar
rangements have been under the supervision of
Rev. Syivanus Stall, of Lancaster, Pa. The
start is to be made at Niagara Falls, August ).
and the route, by daily stages, leads through
Hamilton, Gait Woodstock, London, Goderich,
Stratford, Guelph, Toronto, Newcastle, Brighton,
Napanee, Kingston, by steamer among the
Thousand Islands, and return to Niagara Falls,
August 26. The entire expense OF the tour, IN
Guiding hotel bills and transportation, while IN
Canada. is not to exceed $780, A Western di-
vision, starting at Detroit is to join the Eastern
party at London. The trip is unique inexpen-
sive, and amid new scenes, with roads of supe-
rior excellence, can but afford pleasure and
profit to such gentlemen Of the cloth as have
mastered the matter of gravitation.

Looking After One Soul.


'He first fndeth his own brother Simon"
Now am sure that tits good plan to go look
ing after one soul. Every soul in the world be-
longs to our Lord He made em every one and
he bought em every one with his precious blood
They're his every way; and the devil is thief.
I've very often thought what poor master the
DEVILS servants have got. Why, when he came
up to tempt our Mother Eve in Paradise he
hadn't got any bit O a little thing for to bribe
her with, and all he could do was to steal her
Masters apples. He hasn't got anything of his
own. y y Andrew didn't say, 'I'll try to
do all the good can" and then do nothing be-
cause he couldn't find any to do; but he says,
There's Simon, I'll go and catch him." That's
the way; pick out one soul, and set your heart
pom it; begin to pray for that one. and go on
tryin' till you've got it, and then try for another.
We might do good deal of good in the world if
we didn't try to do so much. I've heard folk a
singin', and meanin' it, too,
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That we're present far too small.

didn't give anything at all

why Women are Always Tired.

jenny June.
II is the common thing nowadays to talk of all
men and women who work as being overworked
and always tired, and always needing 'srest. =
Why don't they take itl Because people do not
even want rest unless it costs a good deal of
money. An old-fashione1 rest, in rock
ing chair, with the doors closed and
the windows open does. not suit mod
ern ailments. You must go long way
and take an infinite amount of trouble to get
proper and suitable rest, sort of rest la mode,
and then you are supposed to be ready to rush
again into the thickest Of the fight, and meet
and conquer every obstacle Why there are
fights, and why there are obstacles, is not ex.
plainable. Life is supposed to be easier from
the household point of view than formerly-why
it is not has not yet been discovered. great
deal of breath has been expended in showing
how and why living has been made easy, but the
fact still remains that people take it harder than
ever, and die of it with less provocation.
One of the reasons suggested itself the other
day, when cloth dress for travelling was sent
home 1t was for a tired woman, and it
weighed at least fifty pounds. 1T

Canon Kingsley.
1t is wise at night to read, but for
a few minutes, some book which will compose
and soothe the mind; which will bring us face to
face with the true facts of life, death and eter-
nifty; which will make US remember that man
doth not live by bread alone; which will give us,
before we Sleep a few thoughts worthy of a
Christian man with an immortal soul in him.
And, thank God, no one need 60 far to find such
books. 1 do not mean merely religious books,
excellent as they are in these days l mean any
books which help to make us better, and wiser,
and sober, and more charitable persons; any
books which will teach US to despise what is vul
gar and mean, foul and cruel and to love what
is noble and high minded pure and just
In our own English language we may read by
hundreds books which will tell US of all
virtue and of all praise. Thestories of good and
brave men and women; of gallant and heroic ac
tons; of deeds which we ourselves should be
proud of doing; of persons whom we feel to be
better, wiser nobler, than were are ourselves.

friendships. Some are incapable of any deep or

School Dresses for school Children


Philadelphia Record.
Children should be sent to the public schools
properly but plainly dressed There should be-
an attempt to carry the equality of right which
exists in the school-room into an equality of APP
pearauce. The envy and distress of the poor
little ones who are not old enough to conceal
their emotions, and the pride and conceit Of
other little ones clad in silk and laces who are
not old enough to know better, work double
injury. In many private schools it is an estab-
lished rule that the pupils shall wear clothing
of a similar make and quality. In military
schools the same rule obtains the object
being to establish footing of uniformity in out
ward appearances corresponding to the actual po-
sition in other respects. If by general consent
the dresses of children attending the public
schools could be so fashioned as to do away with
the too obvious contrast between the elaborate
frocks of the curled darlings of the rich and the
patched pinafores of poorer children it would be
a boon anda blessing indeed A cause of real
heart burning and trouble in the schools would
be made less mschieveous in its results, and the
children would learn lesson of fraternity that
would be both elevating and advantageous in all
their future lives
