with homely wisdom is clearly shown
by the following anecdo:e:
A wife once summoned her husband
before an alcalde for having serenaded
another woman.
Bring forth the culprit," said the
judge, "and let him play to us as he
played before the woman he wished to
captivate."
When this was done the judge asked:

Methodist Nuns.

Methodist nuns are to be novelty in
feminine experience. Tney were created
by the Methodist General Conference,
after a careful consideration of the SUBJ
iect by the committee on missions. The
committee reported favorably, and the
conference inserted in the discipline of
the church a section regulating them:
They are to be called deaconesses, and
they will be very pilar to the nuns
of the Roman Catholic Church, except
that they are not to take vows Of life
service or of celibacy. Eve% annual
conference in which these deacSnesses
are established will have a board of
nine members to control this kind of
work. Nothing more definite than that
was done by the conference, but the i'm
preston is that the Methodist nuns will
wear distinctive costumes, and live in
houses by themselves. They will min
lister to the poor and sick, care for Or
phans, and do other work of charity.
They will be required to serve on proba-
ton of continual service of two years be-
fore being made deaconesses, and ,heJ
will have to be at least twenty-five years
of age. 1t has long been desire of Rev.
DIR. Dix, of Trinity, to have such duties
performed by regular orders OF women,
and he succeeded several years ago in
forming an organization of Episcopalian
nuns, but they have not been formally
indorsed by the denomination, and SO
the Aethodists are the first Protestant
Church in America to attempt tho re.
cruiting and uniforming of religious sis.
ters. The first of these deaconesses will
very likely be seen in Chicago.
'And what costumes will the dea'
conesses wear?" was asked of nearly
every member of the committee respon'
sible for their creation.
No definite answer could be obtained.
Naturally sober garb will be chosen

Romances From the Senate Cloak
Room.

Romances From the Senate Cloak
Room.
Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, and
Senator Black, of Kentucky, are great
sportsmen, as everyone knows. Each is
the owner of pointer, the relative
merits of which they are frequently en-
gagged in discussing in the cloak-rooms
Of the Senate. The other day Kenna
said to Blackburn, lighting a fresh
cigar:
"Joe, you may talk as much as you
like about your dog, but mine won't go
out with me when the cartridges don't
fit my gun"
An audible smile went around the
room, and everybody thought, "Well,
for once, Joe Blackburn has been beaten
at his own game" The junior Senator
from Kentucky, however, was equal to
the occasion. He looked at Kenna for
minute, and then quietly remarked:
"Well, Kcnna I admit that your dog
exhibits an intelligence almost akin to
reason, but I don't mind backing mine
against him. I was in the fields one day
with that dog, and man I was not &C
quainted with came along near US. My
dog pointed at him. l called to that
dog. but nothing would induce him to
move. So went up to the stranger.
Sir I said, would you oblige me
with your name2"
"'Certainly,' replied the stranger;
my name is Partridge.
Without another word Kenna took
Blackburn's arm and both disappeared
in the direction of the Senate restau-
rant, followed by the shouts of their
friends. - Chicago Herald.

StOneWall Jackson.

The history of Stonewall Jackson's
life, writes Colonel Burr in the New
York Graphic, is like the history of an
old-time Cromwellian soldier He was
born Puritan and an ingrained fighter.
He taught philosophy in the Virginia
Military Institute and was a pillar OF
the Presbyterian Church. No o:e
imagined him to be much OF a soldier,
and still less was he considered man
who would lay aside his professors
robe and cap to take up the sword
in defense Of. slavery. He was the
superintendent of Sunday-school,
where the black people of his neighDor-
hood were instructed, and he never
missed Sunday from among his slave
pupils. They loved the stern facel man,
and he showed them all tho kindness of
which his nature was capable. If he
had been born in New England and
brought up under the influences which
were potent there in his young days, he
would have been a soldier with John
Brown and an ardent adherent of Garri-
son and his doctrines. As it was, he
was not suspected of any ardent love for
the peculiar institution of the South.
The world was mistaken. Within a
week after Virginia had passed the ordi-
nance of secession, the grim, stalwart,
bony college teacher had offered his ser
vices to the State, and was placed in
command of the troops at Harper's Ferry.
His fame began with the first battle of
the war. lie won his title of "Stone-
wall" at the battle of Bull Run. In the
crisis of that fight General Bernard E.
Bee, who was doing his best to rally his
broken and almost routed division of
Confedcrates, shouted: "See, there is
Jackson standing like stone wall.
Rally on the Virginiansw He died with
the cry on his lips, but the title cluLg to
the sturdy soldier to whom it was thus
given.
From the day of that disastrous battle
until the early spring days of 1868 this
battling hero was one of the most
dangerous enemies the Union armie, had
to encounter. He was here to-day and
there tomorrow. He Stunned no peril,
he avoided no danger. He fought and
gained victories, and he carried his Bible
along and prayed as he fought. When
Hooker moved upon Charlottesville, in
May, 1868, Jackson dashed down around
the right of the national army, swept his
Observation-Disclosures, General Howard, and
his corps almost ont of existence, and
was held at bay finally only by nearly the
whole force of the Potomac soldiers.
He rested on the night OF the I'd of May
near Charlottesville. 1t was quite dark
between and o'clock, and he rode out
with party of his officers to reconnoitre
the Union position. AS he rode back
toward his own lines the men who loved
him as no other commander on either
side was loved poured vo!ley of rifle
bullets into the approaching cavalcade.
They had mistaken Jackson and his
officers for squad of Union cavalry:
Covered with wounds, the dying General
was carried to. his tent, aud five days
after the soul of this gallant soldier
passed to its last account. "Iet lis pass
over the river" said he, as he closed his
eyes forever, "and rest beneath the shade
of the trees"

How to Keep Cool.

Don't get excited.
Battle frequently. -
, Leave alcohol alone.
: Don't over feed. -
If you must drink, drink slowly and
sparingiy. It is the throat not the
stomach that is dry. !:
: Don't drink large quantities OF ice
water. Put oatmeal in it. Lemonade
is better still. =
; Keep your temper even: q.
Cold water poured on the wrist where
the pulse is, is cooling.
Warm baths before going to bed open
the pores of the skin and induce perspi-
ration.
Don't get angry. ::
Don't argue. !
Don't worry.
A contented mind can stand more heat
with less suffering than a fretful one.
Passionate men see everything like a
man standing on his hvad-a very hot
position. =
: Don't be chump enough to sweat fer
fashions sake.
