Children's Tnquisitiveness.

Little children are naturally inquis-
tive, it is right that they should be in
terested and curious about things which
they see, and it is one of mothers
chief duties to see that these questions
are answered properly. But in pub
lie place as car or restaurant or among
older people this inquisitiveness should
be restrained. 1t is well to say to a
child eve will talk it all over when we
get home," and to urge the little one to
keep both eyes wide open for the sights.
But be sure to keep your promise about
the confidential talk; encourage the
child to describe what he saw or heard q,
and explain the why's and wherefore s
until he is satisfied and well paid for
his restraint in audible questioning. l
sometimes wonder if the woman who
" fried hers in lard" and the people
who talk loudly of personal and family
affairs while travelling or at public en-
teltainments were not as children al
lowed to think cut loud and ask unnec-
essary questions in public places.

Says the Sun is Blue.

Opinions differ on the subject. Pro-
fessor Langley, distinguished Ameri-
can astronomer, having studied solar
radiation and made numerous observa-
tons, came to the conclusion that the
pristine, or extra-terre strial sunlight,
is BLUSH, or, in other words, that the
sun, if seen beyond the absorptive at
mosphere of the earth, would appear
blue. On the other hand, Captain Alb
ney, another scientific authority on the
question, has arrived at quite differ
ent result to that of Professor Langley,
showing that the sunlight is white. The
principle was illustrated by a fine ex.
pertinent which Captain Abney called
an artificial sunset. Through solution
of hyposulphite of soda clear circle OF
electric light was thrown on the screen
and the image was like the sun at noon.
Then few drops of hydrochloric acid
were added TO the solution. This pro-
duced turbid mixture, and, as the tur-
bidity or muddiness increased, first the
violet and then the blue, the green and
the yellow rays were successfully cut
off, Il image varying with every grada-
tioD, until finally there was the dull
red of the sun setting in wintry or a
smoky sky.

A Soldiers HerOism.

There are some acts so full of spirit
OF generous devotion, often done under
conditions where selfshness would be
not only excusable, but quite natural.
that they are difficult of belief, were it
not that they are we'll authenticated.
OF such was that which is related in
the following story: Louis Ahear was
private in Company H, Fifth Michi-
gan Cavalry, and was accounted a good
soldier. At the fight at Trevillian Sta
ton he was taken prisoner, and before
his release he was confined in five diff
ferent prison pens and two jais. While
he was in the Millen (Ga) prison, an
exchange of sixty prisoners was to be
made. The officer of the day told off
sixty names at the door of the pen, but
for some reason, probably because he
was too i'll or was perhaps dead, one
man did not come forth. At that mo-
ment Louis, who had been sent after
fuel, under guard, of course, cane
through the gate, pushing forward a
wheelbarrow loaded with wood.
Here, Louis, here's a chance for
you. We want sixty men to go North,
and are short one. Jump into the ranks
herel" exclaimed the fficer.
ITO be exchanged?" asked Louis,
trembling worse than he did under fire.
Yes; be quick"
Then take Hank. He's sick. and
will die if he remains here" and Louis
darted into the hospital ward. Hank
had pair OF pantaloons and shoes, but
no coat or hat. Louis pulled off his.
put them on Hank, and brought him out,
weak and lettering. AS Hank filed cut
the gate, and once more breathed the
air of freedom, Louis, hatless and coat
less, took hold Of the wheelbarrow and
started for another load of wood. He
had performed heroic act of devo-
ton TO sick comrade, but it cost him
seven months of living death, and a
for man with whom he was not even
Intimately acquainted.
The sequel to the story is almost in
credible. After the close of the war.
for more than twenty years, these two
men lived in Wayne county, Mich.
not far apart. Hank had home and
family and was fairly well off. Louis
had neither home nor family and WIS
poor. They encountered one another
occasionally, but at no time when thew
met did Hank ever refer to the act in
Millen prison that set him free and
saved his life; never invited him to his
home, never alluded TO the past or adj
dressed his savior and deliverer as other
han mere acquaintance. On his
death-bed, however, Hank told the
story and asked his relatives if they
ever had an opportunity to befriend
IL uis for his sake. 1t was a tardy
acknowledgment of one of the noblest
acts the world has ever known Boston

Her Personal Choice.

"Now that have emerged from the
kitchen, and taken NY rightfu place inI
the family" was a sentence in a
friends letter that fastened the atten+
ton. No description of the writer OF
that sen.en is necessary. The sen
tence proves that she was first of all d
well-trained, int lligent woman, capa.
BILE of meeting an emergency, and yet
using every care to- avoid emergencit s..
The sentence seems worthy of being
called gospel to housekeepers. So
many women fail utterly to understand
what their rightful place in the home
isl Many women-even intelligent
women-seem to think their rightful
place in the home is that of sort of up
per servant, who has a certain author.
ity delegated to her because of her abil-
tiles in certain directions. Every hour
of their day is filed with some work or
care that has to do only with the mate
rial things in the home. Yet these
same women wi quote with fervor,
"Is not the life more than meat and
the body than raiment?" Has not the
home life to be nourisbed? Has not
the house body more important than
the rameht? And is it not possible to
make the meat and raiment of so much
consequence that the life and body of
the home suffer for lack of spiritual
sustenance? How many mothers are
unconscious martyrs They sink their
own personality so out of sight that the
family-those who love them most-for-
get it. If any one remains at home, it
is the mother. If any one goes without
proper clothes, it is the mother. And
these women, when too late, find that
what they gave Willingly is taken with
out leave and as a matter of course.
They have preached gospel of selfish
ness. Every mother should be the
most important person in The home e,
and it is the mother who is able to com
mand this without demanding it that
retains until death the respectful and
reverent love of her husband and chill
dren. Emergencies may make it nee
essary for her TO descend to the kitchen,
and if she is what she should be, she
will know how to meet the emergencies
there as tactfully and graciously as she
does those of the parlor. The nursery
or sewing room may demand all her at
tention in emergencies, and a we'll
equipped mother will know how To
meet them. But if the family life is
what it should be, the mothers rightful
place will be in the center of the family
life; she will not be merely the head of
departments.

Something that Boy Can Make.

An easy thing for boy to make for
mother, sistersor invalid friend is writ
ing-board, which is far better than a
portfolio, and for an invahd's use is
invaluable, as the things are all held
securely in place and in no danger of
being overturned.
A plain pine board twenty-three
inches long by fifteen inches wide
should be covered with dark felt cloth
of any color dc sired.
In the center of the board arrange a
sheet of blotting paper, held down by
strips of the felt and gilt-headed nails.
Pockets of felt to hold paper and en-
velopes may be put on to suit the taste,
and places should also be made to hold
pencils, penholders, knife, etc.
The leather inkstand may be at
tached by cutting several notches in
the felt, and setting the bottle on the
bare board. Then glue the notched
pieces up on the Gather of the bottle,
and this will hold it firmly, and have a
neat appearance at the same time.
Make pen-wiper, and glue to the
left of the pad.
These boards, fitted out with ink.
stand. pencils, ETC., may be bought for
IS; but, aside from the satisfaction,
the expense of making one at home
will be far less.
A papCr-holder made of the straw COW
ering which is sewed around the rolls
of Chinese mating is convenient and
ornamental.
Take piece which is twenty
inches square and tack the upper selv-
edge with gilt nails to strip of pine
wood-that which is used in window
sashes will do.
Turn up the lower selvedge to form
a pocket nine inches deep, and tack
the upper edge of this to another pine
strip in the same way.
Sew piece of satin ribbon to the
upper edge of the pocket at either end -,
and another at the corresponding place
at the back, and tie together with big
bow.
Three screw-eyes fastened in the
top serve to hang it up by. The fringe
which edges the mating at the sides is
left Oh, and has a good effect.
The nails should be put on at equal
sistanc es, and quite close; and if the
points come through on the under side,
they must be filed off.
Any handsome flower branch may be
painted on, or only the word GO Papers +"
done in gold paint lin which case

PatriOtiSm'and Pensions.

Comrades, a new Guty is ours. II
calls US TO enroll for conflict requiring
finer courage, a truer perception of
patriotism, nobler loyalty than that of
1861. 1t requires us to defend our honor
from defamation of character which
has come upon us Unawares, through
the unholy greed Of corrupt men who
have made use of the gratitude of
generous people and our silence to
gain their selfish ends. 1t requires us
to verify the fact while we can-that it
may be known and appreciated now,
and taught to posterity-that the con-
ditions, associations, and Influences
under which the loyal volunteers of
1S6l-65 served their country did not
render it necessary for any man to
over his moral standards or to con-
tract habits of vice; that the men who
had the intelligence, courage, and per-
slstent energy TO win victories on the
battle. field, by virtue of these same
qualities of character, are able success
fully to compete for the rewards of
civil life with those who did not enter
the service; that the majority of men
whose terms of service exceeded one
year had their life heightened, and
their earning capacity increased, by
reason of their army experience. Such
a lesson it is our right and duty to
teach. In doing this, we shall make a
contribution to the cause of good gov
eminent of the highest and most en-
during value. - Lieutenant Allen r.

A Graceful Act.

One of the rules of good society is
that, when you are the hostess, and a
guest has been brought by a friend, you
must make her feel welcome.
Louise Chandler Moulton, who is
authority in society matters, tells the
story of city girl who showed such
grace and tact in difficult place that
she declares, &" 1t was enough to change
the climate of east windy Boston" to
know such one lived here.
A girl had come here to visit from the
country and had brought letter to a
very fashionable family, by whom she
was soon after invited to party. She
was staying with quite old people, who
did not realize the lateness of the hours
at which an affair of that kind begins
at present as compared with those OBJ
served by society in their own youth.
If go at half-past eight, it won't
be too late, will it?" the girl, with her
country habits in her mind, asked of
the old lady whom she was visiting.
"Oh, mol" the old lady said; "and
will send Jane with you"
Jane was madame's maid, as vener-
able and respectable and solemn as
madame herself. 1t was about quar-
ter to nine when the carriage deposited
the old maid and the young maiden at
the door of stately house on Common
wealth Avenue. The house door opened,
and they went up to the dressing.room.
Not cloak, not wrap of any sort,
only well-traiped person who took off
our country girls wrappings, and then
disappeared.
ooh, l dare not go down." the poor
little thing said pitifully. az can't; Pm

appeared radiant white vision,-the
daughter of the house.
"Christine said you had come" she
cried, huttering in as if it were the very
pleas ante st and most charming surprise
in the world. 81 am so glad. Mamma
and l were wishing we had some one to
help us receive. And you didn't see
papa the other day. You must come
right down and see him, and be one of
u.s."
There were tears in the country girls
eyes when she told me this little story.
Don't you think it was the very
loveliest thing?" she said. "There |
was, half an hour before every one e Sc,
and they made it seem as if l was heir

And everybody was introduced to me :;
and don't you know l could quite fancy

Wall Papers and Hangings.

There should be DO striking contrast
between carpet, wall paper and hang
ings. They should be rather quiet in
tone, reserving bright colors for the
smaller pieces-table covers, lambre-
gums, cushions, picture scarfs. etc.
Soft shades OF brown warm grays, ecru
and the various tints of olive are good
eolors for the grounds of carpets,
frightened by arabeBque designs in old
rose, old blue, pa be yellow, shrimp
pink, dull gold or light red. Avoid
floral patterns which are conspicuous
and harmonic with nothing. MANY
people like a plain carpet, with a
figured border; but whatever is chosen
for the center, the border should be
darker and richer lin tone, while the
hangings and wall paper should COM

several bright cololrs may be used in

Heavy Regimental Losses.

According TO "Fox's Regimental
LOSSES" only forty.ive out of The thou
sands of regiments in the Union army
during the Rebellion lost 200 or more
men killed in action Ofthese forty. five,
four, nearly one-eeventh, were in the
original Vermont brigade. The Second
lost 224, the Third 206, the Fifth 213,
and the Sixth 203. The loss of the
Fourth, in the same brigade, falls but
little short of the 200 line. These
figures represent the numbers who
were killed on the ED of battle or died,
from wounds, on the field. If accurate
statistics could be obtained Of the num-
Der who died in hospital from wounds,
the aggregate would be enormously in
creased. No state in the Union suffered
so severe losses, in proportion to pop
ulation, as Vermont, with the possible
exception of Michigan.
