BOYS IN THE CIVIL WAR.
A Sturdy Young Soldier of Twelve and II


A Sturdy Young Soldier of Twelve and HI.
Rough Experiences.
There were many boys who entered
the army as young as fourteen, fifteen
and sixteen years of age. On the con
federate side the proportion of youths
from fourteen to twenty was larger
than with us. 1t was declared tina,
Gen. G.. w. Smiths last command il
Georgia reported from eight thousand
to ten thousand strong, was made ur
altogether of "old men and boys" that
they marched to the field and showed
an ardor and devotion to their cause
which can not be moderated.

the author of ''Hardee's Tactics" ]
was stationed with him three years at
West Point, n. Y, where ne command
ed the corps of cadets I became init
mately associated with him and his
family. He had a little boy who was
about ten or eleven years of age when
the family left West Point-Willie Har-
dee. Willie entered the confederate
service the last year of the war, and
certainly was not more than sixteen
years of age. He was fine, manly lad,
l heard of his death, slain in the battle
of our column, the battle of Benton

mand. and Willie's father had a wing OF
Johnston's army. l once met his faith
er in Alabama after the war. He spoke
to me cheerfully. but the sadness of MS
face was too evident not TO be noticed.
and he hardly smiled as he spoke to me
and mentioned his remaining family.
The breaks between us the north and
south occasioned by the great war were
the most affective of all.
Charley Weise was German lad
He was about twelve years of ags

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES.

All Wastefulness Is Not Necessarily thu
Result of CareIessness.
"Of course. do not suppose" said a
veteran housekeeper, that anyone
imag1nes that wastefulness and ex-
sravagance are always the result OF
carelessness, for it is not this by any
means A great deal of unnecessary
cost OF living comes from inexperience,

know of a number of instances where
the household consists of two or three
grown persons. They have not robust
health, and their eating is perpetual
strain on the inventive faculties of the
genius of the kitchen. One of these
women said to me- not long since, that
her market bills were quite enough to
supply family Of four or five persons.
1T is amazing she said, what an
amount of food we bring into the
house, and, as a matter of necessity,
think at least half of it is wasted; and
the worst Of it is don't see any way to
help it. We are all of us very capricious
feeders; we get ideas in our heads that
we want certain thing and we want
it very badly. OF course we get it,
take two or three tastes out of it, and
that's the end of it. It's impossible to
buy good meats in very small quanti-
ties, and as consequence we must
either eat inferior qualities, which we
are of course unwilling to do, or waste
about half of the purchase. In a really
first-class steak there Is sometimes more
than half which is not available, and
this must be thrown away. Our bread
is about the same way, and, really, it's
a problem to know just what to do
AN economical friend of mine buys
half a dozen pounds of good meat,
roasts it down in a pot, cuts it into
pieces of suitable size and cans it just
as we do fruit and vegetables. Her
family seems to relish it; but we have
tried it, and the plan is failure. / try

The original package seems to be the
only available thing at our house, and
think there are great many families
who are similarly situated.
Il have of late learned little econ
omy in the bread line that 1 think may

am not sure. When there is a surplus
of bread, cut it in slices. put it in tho
oven and slightly brown it, then crush
it with rolling pin and grind it

BLAVATSKY'S ASHES.
Distributed Among Three Cities
and Three Countries.
Peculiar Distribution 11ade Of Tho Mertal
Remains Of tho High Priestess of
Theosophy-The Aims of
au Occult Creed.

To have three places contending for
the custody of ones ashes is an honor
accorded to but few persons, truthfully
observes the New York Advertiser.
Mime. Fl. P. Blavatsky. the founder Of
the Theosophical society, died in Lon
don a little less than one year and a
half ago and her body was cremated.
She had never expressed her desire with
reference to the final resting place of
her ashes, and lively discussion at
once arose among the different branches
Of the society, each one of which want
ed to have the honor of the custodian
ship of all that remained on earth of
the dead high priestess.
AS Mime. Blavatsky had died in Lon
don the theosophists of that city
averred that her ashes should rest there;
the East Indies thought that her dust
should find its last abiding place there,
because the high priestess had received
her inspiration from the traditions of
the east, and had, moreover, always
looked upon the Bombay society as the
leading one of the world. while New
York's claims were urged on the ground
that it was there that Nine. Blavstsky,
had organized the society, and it was
submitted that the ashes Of the founder
should logically be returned for their
everlasting rest to the place where the
seed had first been planted and tho
tender shoot nurtured into life.
So earnest did the discussion becomeI
that . consultation was held in Lon
don by representatives, of the rival Sec
tions, and it was finally decided that
the ashes should be divided into three
equal parts, and that New York, Lon
don and Bombay should each have one.
This decision has already been carried
into effect.
The Londoners have completed their
shrine, and Mime. Blavatsky's ashes

Blaine's Warming from His Mother.

The wife of an army officer who
comes from Maine tells an interesting
and impressive anecdote Of Blaine's
early career. 1t was shortly after the
statesman had been elected to congress,
and small party of invited friends were
gathered at the homestead to celebrate
by dinner party the bright political
outlook. Congratulatory speeches were
made. toasts were offered and respond
ed to, until finally one very ambitious
toast was offered, locking to the great
possibilities opened up to the man from
Maine. Blaine, flushed with the pride
of success. glanced about the table at
the appraised glasses, and was just about
to drain off the contents of the vessel
he held when he noticed that his mother
alone sat silent with her eyes fixed
upon the table. At her sons request,
however. she lifted her glass, but as he
lowered his she paused, impressively
laying her hand with sigh on his arm,
and said in voice that none of the COM
pany ever forgot: My son, don't let
ambition eat your soul away"

A STREET CAR EPISODE,

1he Two Girls That Were Left Standing
by the Cruel Men.
The car was full of the usual six
O'Clock crowd At the corner of Madison
street pair Of voluble, gum-chewinp
girls entered. The men kept their seats,
waiting to see who would rise first.
The young women began to talk to
each other in key loud enough to be
heard all over the car.
"Oh, how wish could sit down, I'm
awfully tired"
"But those men are tired, too" re-
turned her companion, with a giggle.
81 suppose they ar e, but how would
like to sit down"
Seeing that her 'taffy" had no effect,
one of the girls became cross. "WeK, l
think they're as ugly as can be or
they'd give us girls seat. It's r,al
mean"
But all this lecture was without avail,
and the men kept on reading the papers
attentively. A couple of blocks farther
on an old lady and a little girl boarded
the car. She stood for an instant look
ing for place. Three or four men rose
to give up their seats. With pretty
old-fashioned bow and a sweet Thank
you," she accepted and took the child
on her lap 81 don't want to take UP
any more room that / can help" she
said, smilingly to a young fellow who
wished to have the pretty youngster
take his seat
And the two loud girls were still
standing.-Chicago News.

Snspenders Here to STAY.

The dressy woman will not surrender
her ''galluses." She continues to use
them with full waists, and they are
now deliberately jetted and embroid-
cred. They are shown in solid and
open work designs of bead work Often
these suspenders are straight, crossing
at the shoulders, their ends being tipped
with fringe which falls below the waist
line at the back and front Belts and
bodices of jet are elaborate in design
and of facet and tiny cut beads. Corse-
lets. suspenders and girdles are of silk
cord and Milan balls, with an admix-
ture of silk and satin. Passementeries
and fur fringes and bands of astrachan
are used for wraps and gowns Silk
rulings are worn in profusion either of
the color of the gown or of contrasting
shades. Ribbons are festooned at the
waist, falling even to the border of the
skirt in loops. Waist fronts are cascad-
ed with ribbon, and sleeves are fur
nished with loops that fall toward the
wrist Lace holds its popularity as
evening garniture and is beautifully
embellished with finest cut beads

Theosophy has been brought into
prominence in connection with the
cholera scare by speech recently de-
hvered in New York by Mr. William Q.
Judge, the leader Of the American
society. The subject was: "Epidemics
from the Theosoph;aal Standpoint"
Cholera came in for its share Of treat
ment, and it was sought to be shown
that there are mental and psychic cpl
denies, and that all can be traced to
the evil thoughts of men.
According to theosophy, thoughts are
stored up as pictures in the ether
recognized by scientists, and exert a
hypnotic effect on the minds of men,
There is also theory that the vast ac-
cumulations Of evil thoughts have so
polluted the ether that when conditions
are favorable they become the cause Of
plaques of various kinds. 1t is claimed
that a five-thousand-year cycle will end
in few years, when a great deal of
this stored up psychic force will be pre-
cipitated, causing wars, epidenics and
cataclysms.
The only permanent escape from all
such calanities. theosophists argue, lies
in the publication of the thought plane
and the spreading of the doctrines of
reincarnation and karma as basis for
ethics, and they advocate the formation
of nucleus, at least, Of a universal
brotherhood.
