TIE ENGLISH G1R1s, Walk.

There is popular idea that teaching
girls to dance improve their manner of
walking. This notion is a relic of the
days when the waltz was unknown, and
the stately measures of the gavotte and
the minuet necessitated careful training
OF the limbs and much instruction in
department. 1t is possible that our
great-grandmothers may have walked
we'll; but it is certain that their great
grand daughters do not Half an hour
spent in the Row on any morning will
convince the most incredulous. Some
people are inclined to throw the blame
upon the dress improver. Others re-
member that English girls walked no
better before it came in. They sway
from side to side; or they unnecessarily
move the whole body, or they take i'm
mensely long steps; or rush in the OPP
posite extreme, initiating the movements
Of mincing machine. There is a
curious fashion just now in the manner
Of carrying the arms. The elbows are
thrust out as far as possible from the
body, giving a sort of square look to
the whole figure, which is far from
pleasing. SO long as the elbows form
All angle, things must be in a concaten-
alton accordingly. Hence the long,
handled sun-shades that look so awk-
ward in the hands of abbreviated beauty.
All these things initiate against a grace
full gait, and, though Englishwomen
may claim superiority to their country
men in every other respect, they will
admit that the time has yet to come
when they excel them in the art of
walking. -London Daily Ne,6s.

Found ON the Batt.e-Field.

An Albany man tells of strange
experience related by friend of his.
It was during the battle of Gettysburg
that hie friend, just before entering
the action, took his canteen from his
shoulder and hid it in crevice in the
rock. Then came the fiery hail of shot
and shell that swept down regiments
like fields of wheat before the reaper.
At the close of the battle the soldier
forgot all about his canteen, nor did it
ever occur to him again until he visited
the field at the late reunion. Then it
flashed through his mind, and after q
few minutes search he found it where

CHxLDREA's APPErIrsx
My Jennie has such q dainty an,,o.;.
ldon't know what to do with her, sh
just won't eat anything but swcatmaa a0
and the like!"
Thus exclaimed foolish mother :,
my hearing the other day. Yes lame,.
ably foolish is she for allowing s,,cb
condition Of things to exist. We au
told by the matchless bard that des;rs
grows upon what it is fed. The chill,
desires danties, and the mother Otto,
gratities that desire. Soon the misch;at
is done, for the dainty appetite i.
quickly formed. Apropos of this:
ruddy German girl of Z summers wac
adopted by childless people of means
The indulging process was early begun
by them, for it was pleasure to give
the child all the goodies that she could
we'll eat. Ere long scorn for substan.
tial food possessed her, and the mere
thought Of the plain but healthful fares
of her German home excited great dis.
gust. Danties formed her daily living
but think you that her robust German
parentage preserved her from paying
outraged Mother Natures penalty? No
indeed! She fell victim to consumn.
ton while yet in her teens. The poor,
abused digestive apparatus could not
manufacture good blood; the great waste
was not supplied, and "galloping con-
sumption" claimed another victim.
While on the cars en- route to one Of
Minnesota's beautiful lake resorts, I
was attracted by an anxious mother and
her unfortunate invalid daughter who
occupied seats near mine.
The wan cheeks, the hollow eyes and
the languid air all told their own sad
story of disease and death. The weary
one often had access to the stimulating
flask to sustain her to the journeys end
At length the mother and child partook
of a morning meal. A large lunch
hamper indicates long journey. Ibid
not observe the mothers choice of fare
but the delicate girl who had so aroused
my sympathies made hearty (?) meal
of real cake and pickles. Yes. she de-
voured three whole pickles and piece
of cake. Think of it, mothers-of sup
plying the enormous waste that was ap-
parently going on with only cake and
pickles! Could one drop of good blood
emanate therefrom? Would disease
have attacked the poor child had the
mother prevented such unnatural ap-
petite? She seemed a woman of cult
ure and retinement-not always accom-
panied with common sense, it seems
and I would fain remind her that she
could take her loved one to the most
healthful cline of earth, but she would
not keep her long if her diet consisted
of cake and pickles. Indeed, in this
instance I fear that nothing could avail,
for the blood-which. you know, is the
ife-had already become impoverished.
See to it, mothers, that your children
are not forming pernicious habits of eat
ing what will perchance take them to
early graves OR render them dyspeptics
for life.

II entertained General Sheridan for
three days sorely against my will" said
Professor Cabell, of Norwood Insti-
tlte, in Virginia. "It was during the
war, and he had his command with him
at my place in Virginia on the James
River. The soldiers dug trench
through my farm to divert the river at
that point and prevent it carrying sup
plies to Lee. It was the fortune of
war, and my sympathies were all with
the Union, but the devastation was
very serious to me-"
Have you forgiven Sheridan for his
part in it?"
"Long ago. We have talked over Il
many times since he was my enforced
guest, and always without any bitter
ness. He abandoned thousand horses
on my farm, where his soldiers killed
hands Of the Confederacy. I gave nv
men orders to have them removed and
buried. Some time after came upon
an old darby belonging to the place
who was blowing with a remarkable
looking horse. In place of an eve il
carried lead bullet. I found several
others with disfgurements of various
KINDS, which had been saved from the
carnage and We're put to work by the

A WALK OVER.
WHEELING PLAYS AN ERRORLESS CANE
YESTERDAY,
And Shuts Dat the NcKssSpOrt Pa, Club-Ths Heavy
Batting Of Dslshanty and
Stsrzsl.

The base ball game on the Island Park
yesterday afternoon between the McKees-
ports, Pa and the home teams was pretty
genefally uninteresting, and only about
$50 people turned out to see it. Several Of
the McKeesport players missed connections
and failed to get here. Mike Warner, Of
this city, played in the field for the visit
ors, and two other men who came with
them filed other vacancies. 1t was nc
ticsable fact that the substitutes play ed
good ball, and out Of the five hits made of
Lemons Warner made two doubles and
Martin single.
Lemons was in the box for Wheeling,
and he certainly pitched 3 strong game.
His curves are good and his speed is in
creasiDg wonderfully. Another thing is, be
has good control of the ball. Jacob Stem
z Il was behind the bat. and he officiated in
bis old-time style. The features of the
game was the sluggiDg Of Delehanty and
Siepzsl, each hitting safe every time they
walked up 20 the plate, and the errOrless
fielding OF the home team. Jones, for the
visitors, pitched a very fair game.
In the first with two men out, Delehanty
hit safe, stole second and went to third on
passed ball. StapletOn's death at fiat
left him there. The visitors were retired
| in short order. In the second BEOdie got
life ON missed third st.ike, sole second
ard scored on Stencils hit. TIE latter
stole second and went home on Lemons
hit. Lemons got as far as third, where he
vas lett. In the third Delehanty bit safe,
went TO second on Stapleton's cut and
home OH wild throwing. In their hall OF
the inning three of the visitors struck cnt
in succession.
In the fourth Brodie got life on Quinn's
error, went to second on q passed ball and
scored on Van SAINTS siugle. Van SAINT
died at second, Steuzsi pounded out two
hsgger, went on to third on let's error
and scored on Lemons single.
Ia the eighth Van SAINT hit safe. Stensel
hit bot one 10 third, which that gentle
man didn't attempt 10 stop and both went
over the plate on Lemons hit and Bakers
error. 10 the ninth Stephans got life on
balls, went 10 third on BrOdie's single and
home on Van SAINTS sacrifice. Stencil
then pounded out another beautiful one and
Brodie vent home from third where Re had
Travelled TO-
In .hsir half of the ninth the visitors
came very close 10 preventing a sLut ont.
Warner pounded out fine one to lsit fer
two buses, Gibbons followed him with a
tine drige u lef. and Warner broke f1r
home Brodis made a great throw from
deep lett aud caught him at the home
plate, although these was kick on the
decision. This ended the game, the score
