Her Bad Braak.~

A pretty little German lady who is not yet
thoroughly conversant with the English Ian
guage and its peculiar idioms goes out in
west side society a good deal, and her only
source of uneasiness is that in conversation
she will make what is popularity termed "a
bad break" Her mother accompanies her
wherever she goes, and when they return
from a party or tea they sit up together for
an hour or more, while the little lady ques-
tions her mother as to whether she has made
any ludicrous slip of the tongue during the
evening. She usually gets along pretty well,
but one evening not long ago she attended a
private party with her mother. During a
chat the proposed marriage of a young Amer
lean girl to a German baron was discussed.
The little German lady did not believe in
marriages except between social equals, but
she expressed herself naively in this way: II
believe that to gain true happiness a girl
should marry n of her own SEX" And she
did not know why the young man with the
blonde p%ompadour fell off of the piano stool
at this j%uncture until she reached home and
her mother told her that she had used the
word "sex" instead of ''station. "-Chicago

As to Toes.

Many people, especially women ard chill.
dren, sufferer the whole winter through with
cold feet. This is mainly due to the fact
that they wear their shoes too tight. Unless
the toes have perfect freedom the blood
cannot circulate properly, hence follow stiff
fened and benumbed toes, cold feet and often
a numbness up the limbs. People who wear
rubbers the whole winter through generally
suffer with their feet. Rubbers make them
very tender by overheating and causing
them to perspire. They should only be worn
during stormy or slushy weather, and even
then should be removed as sasn as one enters
the house. They draw the feet, keep them
hot and wet with perspiration-then as soon
as one goes again into the air the feet are
chilled. In the country I lave noticed that
the farmers put some dry straw or pieces of
newspapers in the bottom of their boots. l
myself lave often tried the latter, and can
assure you chat it is a good preventive
against cold feet. This is doubtless because
the paper or straw absords the p%erspuation
and keeps the feet dry.-Philadelphia Re,

A CONVENT

st. Joseph's Covent at Milwaukee De-
stroyed by Fire.
MILWAUKEE, March 31.-Fire broke
out this evening about 9 o'clock in st.
Joseph's Catholic convent on Greenfield
avenue, and the entire building and it's
contents we're burned, seventy-ive occu-
pants of the building barely escaping
with their lives and having no time to
save any of their belongings. The fire
started from the furnace and was carried
quickly through the building by the ven-
tilator shafts. Sister Banker, who was
on the fourth floor, finding escape cut off,
jumped from a window, breaking her left
leg and all her ribs. She cannot live.
Two young candidates, Rose Minet and
Mary Werner, jumped from a third
story window and were seriously in
jured. Two fremen we're also injured
by falling but not seriously. All the
other inmates succeeded in getting out
safely under the guidance of the sisters,
who prevented many Of the young girls
from finging themselves from the win
dows in their fright. The building and
all it's furniture we're burned, entailing a
loss of $4,000, on which there is only
$4,000 insurance.

the levees to-day. It Is greatly feared
the heavy wind and rain now prevailing
will cause the levee to give way in new
places. The water from the Austin
break will have an outlet into the Yazoo
river, which will inundate a large section
of country in Sunfower and Yazoo coun-
ties. The water at this hour has reached
Wabash avenue, one of the principal
business streets of the city, and people
are navigating in skifs. No lives are re-
ported lost and no actual suffering is an

the water poured in upon the city, which
since its existence has been above the
level of the Mississippi at it's present

and the volume of water that is pouring
in from three breaks above is spreading
out in all directions, inundating planta-
ton after plantation, which in the food
OF 1882 were above water. It is esti-
mated by engineers that a large portion
Of the city will not be flooded and that

Civilian Control.

Our system of military administration has
been growing more and more civilian in
character since the days of Wellington. Then
the commander-in-chief had far more power
and influence in the decision Of military ques-
tions than at present. Then the supply of
guns, arms, ammunition and Of all sorts of
military materials was in the hands of an
officer selected on account Of great experience
in war. He was styled the master general of
the ordnance. He was a member of the gov
eminent and often a cabinet minister. He
was, in fact, the adviser of the government
on all military matters. That Office was
abolished, and at presentsall this duty of sup
ply, which requires great technical training

Acknowledge the Corn.
The phrase acknowledge the corn" is va
riously accounted for, but the following is a
true history Of its origin: In 1928 Alexander
Stewart, member of congress, said in a speech
that Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana sent their
haystacks, cornfields and fodder to New
York and Philadelphia for sale. Wicklife,
another member, called him to order, de-
claring that those states did not SEND their
haystacks and corn fields to the eastern cities
for sale. "Well, what do you send?" asked
Stewart. "Why, horses, mules, cattle and
hogs" swell, what makes your horses,
mules, cattle and hogs?' queried Stewart. /
"You feed 800 worth of hay to a horse.
In doing that you just animate your hay
stack and get on top of it and ride Off to mar
ket. How is it with your cattle? You make
one Of them carry $50 worth of hay to the
eastern market. How much corn does it take
to fatten a hog, Mr.. WickliffeY' Thirty
three bushels" replied the man from Ken
lucky. "Then you just put thirty-three
bushels of corn into the shape of a hog and
walk himoR tx market, = said Stewart. At this
point in the debate Wicklife sprang to his
feet and exclaimed, very hurriedly, aMr.
Speakerl Mr.. Speakeri I acknowledge the
corn. The incident caused quite a laugh
among the members and Yves never forgotten.

have but twelve e"NAAo" "ANohnooN'
companies of fifty men each in time of peace,
with all the facilities for prompt expansion
to a regiment of 1900 men in the event Of
war. In short, he adopts the familiar idea
of q perfect skeleton organization, " to which
recruits may Instantly be called and the regi-
ment made effective in a short time, but re
jects the regiment of 1000 men.
During the civil war it often proved i'm
possible for q colonel to command a whole
regiment effectively, as at present organized,
and the difficulty will be vastly increased by
the breech loading rife, with the much more
rapid firing and the longer alignment which
will be found profitable. His plan would in
volve the advancement of so captains to ma
jors, 100 first lieutenants to captains and $50
second lieutenants to first, while 200 new Sec
ond leutenants would be commissioned-all
this at an extra annualc cost Of perhaps 81, OOO,-
600. Nevertheless, says Senator Henderson
and his military experience gives him the right
to speak with some authority-it is necessary
to maintain all the machinery of a complete
army in perfect readiness, for war always
comes when no one ant or expects it. He
will press his bill for reorganization, and it
will doubtless be a leading subject of interest
in the present congress.

CONGRESSMAN BoUTELLE- sea at an early age.
He must nave liked it, for he chose a sea voy-
age instead of entering college, as his friends
desired. In 1852 he entered the United States
navy and took part in many a hard fight.
While an officer on the Sassacus he was pro-
noted to a ~lieutenantcy "for gallant conduct
in the engagement with the rebel ironclad
Albemarle, May 5, 1854" He afterwards
won still higher distinction and remained in
the service till 1886.
After some years in business and as editor
Of The Bangor Wing and Courier, he was
elected to congress in 1880, and has been re-.
elected biennially since. One of his colleagues
has ~iocularly said that NJ. Boutelle on his
entrance into congress looked around for
''some big job to tackle" and thereby win
fame, and found it in the navy. It certainly
was a ''big job" nor is it yet certain that Mr..
Boutelle's attack on Secretary Whitney's
methods resulted in any gain.
A very curious episode in Mr.. Boutelle's
political career was that at the Chicago con-
vention Of 1888, when, as one of the Maine
delegation, he received a dispatch from Mr..
Blaine, in Scotland, peremptorily forbidding
any further use Of his name as a candidate
for the nomination for the presidency.
The ordinary politician would lave laid
the dispatch before the Maine delegation at
once, but Mr.. Boutelle was altogether too
cautious for that. He first proceeded to
prove that it was not a forgery-for there
nave been forgeries at critical periods in
American politics-by cabling Mr.. Blaine for
a veriication. Meantime, however, the lat
ter had left Edinburgh for Linlithgow, and
much time was consumed in finding him
time enough for Blaine's friends to get in
some '1ne work" with the Indiana and Cali.

STORIES OF TWO MEN.

resentative Boutelle, OF Maine.
Senator Charles Frederick Henderson, of
Nebraska, who is, like 50 many of the public
men of the United States, an Ohio man by
birth, possesses one distinction held by very
few in the history of the United States gov
eminent.
His election to the senate for a second term
was by the unanimous voice Of bis party in
Nehraska. As the time drew near for his
first term to expire 06aroh 8, 1880, the Re-
publican members Of the Nebraska legis-
lture Joined In a letter assuring him
that 1t was unnecessary for him to leave
Washington or even to ask a reelection-he
could and should have it anyhow, and with
q western "whoopl" So he is seated till
March 8, 1895. 70
He may be called an "Ohio man" because
he won fame in the military service from
that state, though he was born in Philadel-
phia Feb. 8, 1887, and located in Omaha in
November, 1869. It does not take a man Of
talent long to be an ''old settler" and found
a ''frst family" in the rapidly growing states
Of the northwest; so, in less than two years
after locating there, Mr.. Manderson was a
leader and All official, and for six years he
was city attorney. He volunteered in Ohio
under the first call, and served continuously,
except when disabled by wounds, to the last;
began as a lieutenant in the Nineteenth Ohio

receiving soon after the high compliment of
