Familiar Songs.

At every music hall from twenty to
| thirty songs, or even more, will be sung
in the course of the evening, and of all
these perhaps two or three in year will
catch the popular favor, be played on
barrel organs, whistled by street boys,
adapted for burlesques and pantomimes,
and overrun the entire country in mar.
velously short time, until it pals upon
the very villagers. Some fifteen years
ago, for example, it was impossible to go
anywhere in the United Kingdom with
out hearing certain Tommy being
yocally adjured to make room for his
uncle. 1t would be curious to resusci-
tate Tommy and his uncle now and see
how much success they would obtain
with the public of today. The tune was
irresistibly catching, but it would prob
ably fall on deaf ears now. No super
animated thing is so utterly dead and
forgotten as once popular music nall
song. compared to which Jonah's gourd
was hardy annual.
Who compose these ephemeral tunes?
Their names seldom or never appear, any
more than do those Of the gentlemen who
write the songs, though it is safe to con-
clude from internal evidence in either
case that they are not persons of exalted
musical and literary eminence. And what
are the songs like? Do they show any
graphic or satirical power. any command
Of the pathos and humor which appeal to
popular tastes? One would hesitate to
answer in the negative. since these ditties
are found acceptable by those whom they
are intended to delight, and yet to hear
or read them is apt to produce convic-
ton that the music hall public is enter
tanned with the same facility as excited

A New War Story.

This story of how thirty-six brave SOL
diers on the one side put TO utter rout
and rapid fight 5000 brave soldiers on
the other side is from the lips of a pri-
vate who fought in the ranks through
the stirring scenes of the sixties and
came out with an honorable discharge
In 1862 Hanover Junction, little town
between the forks of the North Anna and
South Anna rivers, was held by a body of
troops from Longstreet's brigade There
We're about 5000 of them, and as the
post was vantage point about the same
number of troops were sent from Nc
Clellan's army to attack the place.
Among the first to cross the North
Anna river was Private Mccarthy, of a
New York regiment, now a resident of
Kansas City. With him We're thirty
four members of the same company,
commanded by Capt. Fitzpatrick. The
5000 defenders of the post were drawn
up in battle file some distance from the
river. Hardly had Kilpatrick's men
reached the bank when he commanded
them to charge. and the little troop Of
thirty-siS went charging directly in the
face of 5000 troops drawn up in line of
battle. The sight of the little body
charging alone was too much for the
nerves Of the 5000 raw troops and they.

they thought there must be some trick
in it. and they cut at once for taller
timber.

complished without the loss of man

No Need of "Beauty SIeep,"

1t is all nonsense about beauty sleep"
coming in the hours before midnight
and that the rosy cheek on the country
lass is the reward for retiring at the
time when the proverbially pale faced
city girls evening commences. The late
hours of fashionable life would not neces-
sarily scatter the roses from the cheek if
the late hour for retiring could be the
same every night without variation. 1t
is irregular hours and meals that cause
pale and haggard faces. The handsom-
est couple ever saw retired regularly
at 80, and always INDUCED in light
lunch just before retiring They were
both pictures of health.
The lady did not look over %, though
she never hesitated to say that she was
3S years old, and the husband looked at
least ten years younger than he really
was. They were both devOtees to the
laws of health. For years they had al
lowed nothing to interfere with the reg
ularity of sleeping and eating hours.
Almost the midnight hour was chosen
for retiring, because it allowed them
evenings at the theatre and an houraor
so at even the most fashionable recep-

One of the common mistakes made by
the tyro in public speaking is that of ex-
hausting his subject and his audience at
the same time. BY too great discursive-
ness the pith of the subject is lost, and
what might have been Il victory is turned
into signal defeat. To save such dis
aster one should think carefully upon
any subject before attempting to talk
upon it, and i'll the thinking keep strict
ly to the salient points and the simplest
possible form Of giving them express
sion.
Only the born orator, the genius, may
safely venture into the flower garden of
speech and indulge in glowing and
highly colored perorations To the or
binary speaker close attention to facts
and simple statement in well chosen and
convincing language are the safest and
surest means of winning golden opinions
for self and success for ones cause at
the same time.-Jenness- Miller Maya

An infant may be as old as Methuse-
lah or as Young as a baby ephemeron for
all YOU can tell. Now. you need just
one suggestion to help you out. 1t is
this: If the baby is in long clothes call
it a year old. 1t won't be, but that's
part of the diplomacy. If it's in short
clothes and can't talk call it years. 1t
won't be that. but that's more diplomacy
If it can talk call it anywhere from to
3 years old
This is the course which things may
then be confidently expected to take:
The mother proudly exhibits her off

laid down You say of long skirted
youngster, ''What a remarkably devel-
oped child for one year oldr'
But it's really only six months, you
know" answers the mother. indulgently
rnnindful of your mistake because of
the hattery it implies.
In the case of short skirted, non
locomotive youngster you will be safe
in saying, Isn't this wonderfully fine
baby for one four or five years old?' You
may be years out of physical reckoning
again, but the mother will soon see that
it is the precocity of the infant that has
misled you, and as before she will par
don much.
Remember this as you would the Ten
Commandments: Always add to the age
of baby and subtract from the age of
its mother. No matter how far astray
you may go it will never be treasured up
against you.-New York Evening Sun.
