vantage by forcing your enemy from
an important position. while they. of
course. are equally desirOus Of repel-
ling vou aud securing your place.
The first and only way of accomplish
ing this end is by demoraliziiIg your
opponent and forcing them to retreat:
There are three ways of demoralizin.
an army--iirSt, the cannonale. which
does comparatively little physical
damage, but inspires in the hearts of
many of an advancing or defen i've
force IA feeling cf fear that often results
in IA speedy panic and retreat; then
comes IL wound, which has more of a
moral effect than you might suppose.
\ wounded man always wants ani
always gets u great deal OF Sympithy
from his comrades, who, seeing his
condition, are very apt to he seizef
with sudden desire to show gener-
osity toward the poor fellow anl help
him to the rear. \ wounded man
often means three ont OF the ranks,
while dead man counts but for one.

izers, as it is considered II useless bar

Powdered Children.


She was telling us the other morning that
during her recent visit to Paris she was
struck by the extraordinary complexion of
the children, and at last discovered that
fashionable Partisan mothers make prac-
tice of painting and powdering their little
girls faces, just as they do their own. They
begin upon the little cheeks as soon as the
small owners begin to walk, coloring them
according to their own ideas of what is
pretty. Is it not too absurd9 In fact, it
seems wicked to apply anything so injurious
to the soft, cool, smooth cheeks of a child,
which feel like rose-petals to the touch.
What insanely silly mothers there arel
| know of at least one case in which
English children have been powdered and
cold-creamed from about the age of II, but
not painted. They were never allowed to
go out in an east wind, or to sit over the
fire scorching their faces, and every night
they were subjected to a process in which
various preparations for clearing" the skin
played a prominent part. These children
are now lovely girls, and there is much dis
cussion in the circles they adorn as to
whether the soft bloom that adorns their
faces is naturally or artifcially produced.
But even supposing that the result of so
much elaborate care was the very loveliest
coloring ever seen, think how bad an effect
it must all have on the little girls mind to
see so much effort directed to so small an
end
