ness of temper and all those things

ness of temper and all those things for which the American young woman is noted. She is cosmo- politan in her possession of qual- ities that win. She is born and ever afterwards lives in an atmos- phere of sunshine and independ- ence. Self-dependence is the great developer. She acquires strength from doing things for herself. She is not dwarfed by being petted and coddled and re- strained. The glorious American young woman is the product of intelligent surroundings. She will continue to improve until she reaches the limit of human perfec- tion. She has much yet to learn, but she will learn it, and when she shall have adopted it she will be at the head of all created things. And when that day comes, if the sons of God be still surviv- ing, they will once more descend to earth and take wives from among the daughters of men, this time without the penalty of deluge.

The American Girl.

Wisacres are now busily dis cusslng the superiority of the American girl over all other girls in the world. All people admit this fact, some enviously and some admiringly. There is no particular problem about it. The American girl is product of evolution. She is born well and as soon as she can toddle she engages in the con- tact and association described by the philosopher as resulting in the survival of the fttest. As there is by the improved processes of mingled nature and civilization no possibility of an extinction of even the unfittest, the result Is simply higher grade of develop ment. After all the raving about beauty, the charm of the woman
 is in the mind. The mind makes grace, brightness of eye, intelli- gence, aptness, frankness, even

Five Generations Living.

There is at Marne, Class county, Iowa, the rare case of five genera tions living at the same time. On October 29th a girl was born who is the fifth generation on her mothers side and the fourth on her fathers. On the mothers side are the great-grandmother, Mrs. Ruth Smith, of Center Sand wich, N. H., aged 90; the great grandfather, Isaac Smith, of Gid den, la, aged 65; the grandmother, Mrs. B. H. Klmball, of Glenp Rock, Wy. T., aged 39; the mother, Mrs. c. Rollins, aged 19, and the little lady herself. On the fathers side are the great-grandmother, Mrs. Mary A. Wilson. of Norwalk, O., aged 76; the grandmother, Mrs. A. B. Rollins, of Avoca, Ia, aged 52, and the father of c. H. Rollins, station agent at this place, aged 22; all we'll and showing signs of living many years to come. Little Miss Rollins has six grandmoth- CTS, a distinction not enjoyed by many children, and from her pres ent healthy and lively condition gives promise of becoming at least a great grandmother herself some day.

THE OLD REBEL YELL.
How an Argument in a Southern
 Court was Interrupted.


 Court was Interrupted.
 Houston (Tex.) Post,
 A singular dramatic incident occurred in the Superior Court room at Wanesboro during the trial of the Rogers brothers for the killing of the Symses, father and son. The killing occurred at McBreen's station in October last. Eminent counsel had been engaged by the prosecution and the de- fense, for both parties are promi- nent and wealthy. The evidence closed and the speaking began Friday morning, continuing all through the day. When the court assembled after tea the seats and the aisles within the bar were crowded with ladies, while without a dense throng of men filled up the auditorium. It was before this audience that Mir. Twiggs began his argument.
 Twiggs is an eloquent speaker, practiced in and noted for his ora torical graces. In the course of his three hours address he at one time referred in the most feeling manner to the courage and devo- ton of women. The hour, the oc- casion, the audience and the dim light from which the rapt faces were bent upon him all combined to form surrounding well calcu- lated to inspire the orator to his greatest effort. He closed his ad- dress upon women as follows: "At the battle of Gettysburg Gen. Pickett was ordered to begin the charge that was to make him fa- nous. As he went into the terri ble battle his young bride on horseback followed him. When the hail of death was beating down men on all sides and the plunging shot and shell mingled their fierce screams with the moans and cries of the mangled, Pickett suddenly found himself in the presence of his wife. In an agony of fear for her safety he cried out to her as she sat cool and collected as a veteran: sGo back! Go back! For Gods sake go back sto the rearp
 "'No,' replied the devoted woman, fin the hour of danger, the wife's place is by her husbands side.'"
 At this moment through the courtroom there rang out the wild thrilling cry which nearly lifted the excited throng to it's feet. It was the old Rebel yell, heard upon a hundred battle fields and never to be forgotten. A deep silence followed. All eyes were turned towards the outer circle. Then Judge Royne's cold voice was heard bidding the Sheriff arrest the offender. A man was seen lodging through the crowd and the Judge continued: "The man who is leaving is probably the one wanted" "No, Judge" exclaimed voice slowly, "I am the man." The speaker stood in the aisle with folded arms contemplating the Bench. II shall have to fine you $10 then for disturbing the court" 'Very we'll, your honor, I shall pay the money" said the man, "but I meant no disrespect. I was Confederate soldier at Get tysburg, and just could not help hollering" The ladies present sprang to their feet and in an in- stant the money was made up and paid to the clerk. The involun- tary yell of the old soldier was an irresistible tribute to womanhood.

Professor Chandler Roberts es inmates the weight of the smoke cloud which daily hangs over London at about fifty tons of solid carbon, and two hundred and fifty tons of carbon in the form hydro carbon and carbonic-oxide gases. Calculated from the average tests made by the smoke abatement committee, the value of the coal wasted in smoke from domestic grates amounts, upon the annual consumption of five millions of people, to @, 2,257, ,500. The cost of carriage on this wasted coal is cal culated to be f26S,75O, while the unnecessary passage of about l. 5O0,000 horses through the streets Tn drawing it adds seriously to the cost of street cleaning and repair ing. Then there is the cost of taking away the extra ashes, f43,- 900 per year. Summing it all up, the direct and indirect cost of the wasted coal may be set down at e2,600,0OO, plus the additional loss of damage done to property, caused by the smoky atmosphere, esti- mated by Mir. Chadwick at e2, 2,000,- 900, the whole aggregating f4,- 6OO.OOO. or S23.OOO.OOO.
