In her old age, Mmc. Jerome Bona
parte, of Baltimore, the American
beauty who married brother of the
great Napoleon, and was repudiated
BY him, demanded a great deal more
admiration than she got. AT an enter
tainment she considered herself neg
lected by the gentlemen, who paid the
most of their attention 10 couple of
newly married young ladies. She en-
dured it for some time, and then re-
marked to the first one VINO found a
little time to spare with her:

slider it the most foolish thing in the
world for gentleman 10 pay atten-

change in her position. She went

There was no one down Mt the station

member of Washing society came 10

its time had been published in the news

Women who served n. soldiers.

war, says a writer in the Chicago In

passed down the line of company
formed in open order for muster and
inspection, noticed rs the hands were
held out one set that, to my practiced
eye, belonged to woman. l said
nothing at the time, bnt after consulta-
ton with the Colonel had the rccuit
with the feminine hands brought to
headquarters. Tho bright-looking
young soldier in the new suit admitted
that she was woman and in two days
she was at home. A year after that
was at ball in Washington. As l
stood little aside from the main party
wishing that l was in front with the
army, y young lady came toward ME
bowed with exaggerated stiffness, and
as she Strengthened up went through the
motions Of obeying the order Ewes

thanked me for something that she
supposed that had done and walked
away. She was pretty enough to be
the belle of the occasion, aud | saw
that she took considerable delight in
my confusion of mind, all Of which |
understood later when | learned that
she was my recruit with the lady-likc
hands. She afterwards told me that
sne owed ME a debt of gratitude for
stepping in at the right time to break
down her romantic notions. A good
many women went into the army an
got out Of it without any notorictv.
They probably are not ashamed Of their
experience, but it suits their purposes

Gail IIAsniiSOn.

Gail Hamilton has written the fol-
lowing against woman suffrage. in her
customary decisive manner: ''Woman
suffrage is an artificial cause, and IS
just Us hard to keep up as slavery was
to put down. Convention, discussion,
legislation, fail to arouse any cnthu-
siasm for woman's rights, because
there is no organized, insistent, radical
woman's wrongs. Individual women
suffer. and concrete laws are unjust to
women rs class. As men increase in
refinement and virtue, women share in
the improvement inevitably because
man is compounded of men and wom-
en-. Whatever women suffer, they
suffer from an imperfcction of human
society, not from any combined in
territorial oppression by the stronger
sex. Women suffrage languishes, not
because men will not grant it, but be-
cause women do not wish it. Women
can not be made to wish it, because
they do not suffer from tho lack of it.
Whenever they want il, they will have
it. There is more danger that they
will have it without wanting it, then
they will want it without having it. I"

A New York young man in three
months gave his seat in car to fifty
nine women and girls-young women,
old women, pretty girls, ugly girls,
shop girls. cash girls, rich girls, color
ell girls. washer-womcn, women with
diamonds and seal-skins. and very
shabby women. Every one of these
thanked the young man. One grateful
old soul gave him doughnut from her
basket; several OF them held his satchcl
and bundles while he stood. He had a
cough once and kind-hearted old
woman told him what to do FORT, and
on one occasion grateful old Irish
woman announced to the car that he

Jamaica Ginger prlnkser.

Georgia newspapers have drawn at

age since the Prohibtonisls captured

JAMES ID. FISH.

Ex-Presidcnt Fish, Of tbs cx-marine
bank, New York now at Sing Sing. is
modest and bashful convict. He
avoids publicity as much as possible
and is aided in this respect by his GUS
todians. Although his Office is located
in one Of the main halls, easy Of access
to visitors, he is seldom ever seen. It
annoys him to be gazcd at by specta-
tors. One afternoon last November a
party Of actors from New York were in
town and called at the prison. The
Office door was accidently left open,
and while passing though the hall one
Of the company saw Fish standing ut a
desk. He announced his discovery to
the others, and all halted to look at
the man. Their act appeared to dis
turb him, and have it upon the au-
thority of an eyewitness that the old
man walked boldly from his place to
where they were standing, and address
ing them. said: Eyes, l am Fish. Look
at me. DO you see mc?" and then
slammed the door. Fish is not privi-
legged convict, and is shown no more
favors than his fcllow-prisoners, unless
in the matter Of retiring at night, the
clerks in the Chaplain's Department be-
ing allowed until 7:3O before going to

other men. Fish eats his meals in
the dining-rOom, one of the LOO
uniformed human wrecks comprising
the prison population. He worships
in the same chapel and at the same
time with the rest.
One afternoon, nCt many weeks after
Fish's arrival. clerk in one of the
city stores entered the keepers hall
and deposited strip of Brussels car

an elaborate affair of its kind. and

painted figures. A row of prisms
hung gracefully from gilt band, and
the chain and rod shone like a mirror.
Major Boyle. the head keeper, sat
close by, and after the young man had
put down his burden, he exclaimed.

clerk.

It's important that the foal should
be full fed from birth, and in case the
dam does not yield milk enough to give
strong and steady growth, this should
be supplemented by cows milk. The
foal can easily be taught to take warm
cows milk, and it will still take all
the milk of the dam. The foal should
be handled from the first, and learn to
regard man as its friend. 1t can usual
" be taught to drink warm milk from
a pail. Some, however, think it easier
to teach it to suck from bottle. II
will not be necessary to give it new

little boiled tlax-seed in it, will produce
