1t was in an uptown confectionery store


1t was in an uptown confectionery store
last evening that richly-dressed young
man, accompanied by young lady,
came in and asked for two glass
es of pop. The attendant was unable
to open the bottle. The would-be.
purchaser, anxious to show his superior
knowledge, took the bottle, pressed it to
his bosom and pressed down on the wire
holding the cork. 1t would not bulge, and
he pressed harder. Suddenly came sound
like the report of a gun and red pop began
to fly from the bottle deluging the young
man, drenching the hat and dress of the
young lady and creating ruin and devasta-
ton generally. The young man was too
badly frightened to let go, but chung to the
bottle until the force of the gas had spent
itself. By that time there was no pop in
the bottle, and the two young people went
into an adjoining drug store and drank
plain soda.

Giving q Dog a Bad Name.

Some months ago a Washington socie.
ty lady presented Capt Smith, United
States army. one of the military dudes
stationed at the national capital, with q
beautiful little dog. The son of Mars
was very much pleased with his present,
What a beautiful little animal he is,
Miss Blank; just like youl What lovely
eyes he has, just like you! And such
little white paws, just like you!''
Miss Blank laughed, and said:
"Just-like-you would be good name
for him. Suppose you call him Just
like-you."
"An excellent idea, ha! ha! ha!-Just-
Hke-your'
Not long afterward Gen. Jinks, who
is very much of martinez, called at the
quarters of Capt. Smith, and, seeing the
dog, admired him very much, and
asked, ''What do you call him?"
Il call him Just-like-you"
Young man. said Gen. links.
sternly, II never permit my interiors to
joke with me. resent your familiarity,
sir.'
Il am not joking general. That is
really the name of the dog. He is called
Just-like-you."
You shall hear from me, SIR ex-
claimed the general, Withdrawing from
the canvas.
Gen. Jinks called on the secretary of
war. and now Washington society will
miss Capt. Smith, who was so useful last
season in leading the german, for he
has been ordered to report for duty at

Only Rehearsing.

An amusing case has just been tried
in st. Petersburg. The wife of the sec
rotary to a Russian minister and her
daughter were visiting at the house of
another ministerial official. The son
of the latter asked the young lady to go
with him into another room, which she
did. Shortly afterward the mother
heard the young man exclaim: you
shall be mine, or ] will kill your Her
daughter called out as though in great
terror: leave me. leave mer' The
mother ran at once to an adjoining
room, where she saw her friends son
embracing her daughter. and apparent
ly under the influence of the feeling ex-
pressed by the language he had used.
She tore her daughter away from him
and from the house, insisting that she
would put the law in motion for this in
suit to her child. Over and over again
the daughter tried to explain what had
happened. but her mother would hear
nothing. She carried out her threat,
and the case came before the court.
Then, but too late to prevent an anus
ing scene, it was explained that the
young lady and young gentleman had
only been rehearsing a scene in a play
in which they were going to perform.

One-Legged Statesmen.

The new Congress, writes a Louisville
Cour1er-Jouradt correspondent, seems
likely to have an unusual supply of
war veterans. Last congress had two
men who had lost legs in the war. while
this one win have four or five one-legged
statesmen. Congressman Brown, Of
Cincinnati, is one of them. Mr.. Stone.
who succeeds Oscar Turner, of Ken
lucky, is another. In the senate there
are the two South Carolina senators,
Butler and Hampton, who have each
lost leg. They wear wooden legs,
however, and you would scarcely sus-
pect their misfortune. Brown and
Stone. however, go on crutches, being
unable to make use of artificial limbs.
MIR. Hawk, of Illinois, who died a MEM
Der of the Forty-seventh congress, had a
similar experience. His leg. which he
lost during the war, was amputated so
far above the knee joint that he was un-
able to use an artificial leg, and he used
to stump into the house on a curious
wooden crutch, which he hung over the
side of his desk. Wilson, of Iowa, who
was in the last house, walked with
wooden leg. Oates, of Alabama, who
has been a member of congress fol
years, has but one arm. and enjoys the
further distinction of having been
wounded no less than six times in the
twenty-seven battles in which he was
engaged during the war.

American Girls at Milan.

The American girl comes to Milan
not quite as numerously as she used to,
but still in considerable numbers, to
learn the art of music The ambition is
an honorable but often mistaken one.
1t indicates most creditablc DISPOSE
ton on her part to earn her own living
and achieve a reputation, but unless
there are good voice, striking talent,
time to devote to study, industrious
habits and sufficient money, it would be
better if the aspirant remain the prima
donna of the country choir and the vo-
cal leader Of the little village which had
the honor of giving her birth.
American girls in Milan and the rest
of Europe are quite as good as or, per-
haps, morally somewhat better than
their European sisters. But they have
been accustomed to a freedom of move
ment to which European conventionali-
ties are a stranger. They have been in
the habit of travelling from Maine to
Texas without being insulted by so
much as look, whereas in Milan they
can scarcely walk alone, or even in COM
pany, across the street without receiving
the amorous attention of some distin-
guished-looking stranger. Nowhere are
men SO VIGOROUSLY offensive in their
bearing toward women in public as in
Milan. In Paris it is no uncommon
thing to see woman well and modestly
attired walking rapidly along the street
pursued by an elegantly dressed man
whom she evidently does not know and
is most conspiciously anxious to avoid.
She turns the corners. The man pur-
sues the same course. She quickens her
pace; the man quickens his. She accel-
crates her movements until the two
seem to be running race, and so
they disappear in the distance. Sights
like these are to be seen in other Euro
pean cities. But there is this difference
between the European roue in general
and the same class at Milan. If young
lady is with chaperon she is generally
free from insult almost everywhere in
Europe, and no gentleman ever thinks
Of making disrespectful demonstrations
to lady who is attended by another
gentleman. 1t is not so at Milan. At
Milan the young lady is never safe from
insult. If she is at restaurant with a
male friend she is stared out of counte-
nance by coterie of Milanese aristoc-
racy. If she appears in public prone
made in company with gentleman,
one of the gilded youth will walk round
in front of her companion and take a
good, long, vulgar stare full in her face
If it were in America the coarscness of
the insult would make the offender the
prompt recipient of what is known as
''whack over the head" But in Milan
nothing can be done. No notice can
be taken of the offense, for if the person
administering punishment on the spot
were brought into court for assault, the
public sentiment that permits the in
1elicacy would infect the tribunal, and
the insult to the lady would not be re-
,ognized as the slightest justification.

Wagner as a Boy.
Wilhelm Richard WAGNER was

Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born
at Leipzig, March %, 1918.
When he was nine, he went to school,
where he was the despair of the teacher
who instructed him in music; he paid
no attention TO his practicing, but seized
every opportunity of repeating the mel
odies that he had heard, especially those
of der Freischutz,' which had already
kindled his powerful Imagination. An
Gent history, mythology, Greek, and
Latin were his favorite studies, but his
heart was really in none of these. for
he had secret aim which absorbed all
his thoughts and feclings-he was a
poet! In his eleventh year. he won a
prize for the best poem on dead school
mate, and soon after this he translated
the first twelve books of the Odyssey.
He taught himself English, and immed-
lately became so absorbed in Shaks-
peare that he decided to write trag-
edy. For two long years he toiled, and
during this period he contrived to kill
off forty-two people in his drama. He
was forced to relent, however, and to
recall them as ghosts in the last act in
order to have performers enough to play
bnC pdi bltdntlillt ut uuu ltlC DTGS-
den. where he had been living, and en-
tered school ut Leipzig, but he had SO
neglected his studies for musical COM
position, that he was put back a class;
this so discouraged him that he gave
himself entirely to his tragedy. When
he had nearly finished it, he first heard
Beethoven's music. This had so strong
an influence over him that he deter
mined to set his tragedy to music, and
purchased book on thorough-bass to
prepare himself for his task. So fasci-
mated did he become with the study,
that he determined to be poet no
longer, but that music should have the
devotion of his life. When his family
learned of his tragedy, they were much
troubled, for they felt it was the cause
of his backwardness at school; but
when they found him to be writing mu-
sic, they were in despair, for they be-
lieved it to be nothing more than a
fancy, and that it might do the boy
great harm. He was not to be discour-
aged, however, and composed in secret.
But at last he was placed under the in
struction of Theodore Weinlig, a man
stepped in the spirit of Father Bach"
who put him through six months
study OF counterpart Now he learned
and loved Mozart.-St. Nicholas.

Recipes for the Sick.

Milk and Lime Water. four tea
spoonfuls of milk put one of lime water
and give to the patient ice cold. This is
especially valuable in cases of prolonged
nausea, as the stomach rarely fails to
retain this, even when it rejects every
thing else.
Peptonized Milk. - Dissolve twenty
grains of bicarbonatc of soda and five
grains of the extract of panoreas (the
latter prepared by Fairchilds Brother &
Foster) in half cup of warm water,
poured into large wide-mouthed bottle.
Add to this two cups of fresh milk, cork
the bottle tightly, shake well and set in
a warm place for an hour The tenn
perature should not go above 100. At
the end of the hour set on the ice until
needed. Milk prepared in this manner
can be taken by those with whom the
beverage disagrees when drunk in its
natural state
Milk Porridge. One pint of milk,
two tablespoonful of flour. Heat half
the milk to boiling, and stir into it the
flour, mixed smoothly into the remain
ing cold milk. Boil steadily half an
hour, and salt to taste five minutes be-
fore removing from the fire.
Indian Meal Gruel.-One quart boil
ing water. Half cup of sifted Indian
meal. Wet up the meal with little
cold water and stir it gradually into
the boiling water. Boil slowly for two
hours, stirring often. The secret of
making palatable Cruel lies in cooking
it thoroughly. Before removing from
the fire beat well with a Dover egg
beater, thus breaking up all the humps.
Strain, salt and pepper to taste. The
latter condiment must not be given to
fever patients. Oatmeal Cruel may be
prepared in the same manner.
Panada.-Two half slices nice stale
bread. one tablespoonful white sugar,
salt to taste and little cinnamon or
nutmeg, one small teacupful boiling
water. Lay the bread in a china bowl,
sprinkle with salt, sugar and spice
Four over all the boiling water, cover
with plate and set in an open oven for
ten minutes. If preferred, split Boston
crackers can be used instead of bread,
but these must lie in hot water half an
hour. Panada is soothing in case of
painful sore throat.
Dry Toast.-Cut a slice of moderately
stale bread about half an inch thick.
Trim off the crust and toast quickly
over clear fire, taking great care not
to scorch the bread. Butter very lightly
or not at all and serve Immediately aft
er it is made
Meringued Toast - Dip a freshly
toasted slice of bread into boiling water.

deep saucer. Pour over it sauce made
OF half cup of boiling milk, tea
spoonful OF butter and the stiffiy whipped
white OF an egg, the latter stirred in Just
before the milk is taken from the fire.
Set in the oven for five minutes until the
meringue is delicately Drowned.
Toast with Chicken Boullion.-Lay a
crustless slice of toast in deep dish,
and pour over it cupful of chicken
boullion, made as directed in former
article. Let it stand in the oven for a
few moments before serving Christine

Ensign Ems. the Color.Bearer.

Ensign Epps, at the battle of Flanders,
Sowed n seed of glory and duty
That flowers and flames In height and beauty
Like crimson lily with heart of gold,
To-day, when the wars of Client are old
And buried as deep as their dead commanders.
Ensign Epps was the color-bcarer--
No matter on which side, Phillip or Earl;
Their cause was the shell-his deed was the
pearl
Scarce more than lad he had been a sharer
That day in the widest work of the field,
He was wounded and spent, and the fight was
lost:
His comrades were slain or scattered host,
But stainless and scatheless out of the strife
He had carried his colors safer than life.
BY the rivers brink, without weapon or
shield,
He faced the victors. The thick heart-mist
He dashed from his eyes, and the SILK ne kissed
Ere he held it aloft in the setting sun,
As proudly as If the fight were won,
And he smiled when they ordered him to yield.
Ensign Epps with his broken blade,
Cut the silk from the gilded staff,
Which he poised like a spear till the charge
was made,
And hurled at the leader with a laugh.
Then round his breast, like the scarf OF love,
He tied the colors his heart above,
And plunged in his armor into the tide,
And there, in his dress of honor, he died.
Where are the lessons your kindlings teach?
And what Is the text of your proud command
ers?
Out of the centuries heroes reach
With the scroll of deed, with the word Of a
story
OF one mans truth and of all mems glory,
Like Ensign Epps at the battle of Flanders.
