In person Miss Gladstone Is tall and
rather ungraceful, a defect which is inten-
sified by her carelessness In the matter Of
dress, a very unlmportant item In her busy
life. But one forRets her want Of grace in
the charm OF her face, which without be-
ing really handsome fascinates by its ear
nest expression. The spirit Of her fathers
genius shines through her eyes and causes
one TO forget that her features are wanting
in actual beauty,
She wears her hair brushed from her
face In rather severe style and cooled In q
knot at the back a her head. Her fore
head Is low, but well shaped; her mouth
rather large, with full, expressive lips.
Miss Gladstone Il Of a very retiring nature,
having a great dislike to publicity Of any
sort, and Is by no means the strong mind
ed" woman whom one would expect TO ind
ct the head Of a college.
She Is an indefatigable walker, and en-
deavors to make her girls follow her ex-
ample. Although her nature Is q reserved
one and she Is as a rule rather silent, she
q, when interested, most brilliant talk
or, and her powers Of conversation consti-
tute one Of her great charms. Even the
most frivolous don" would feel delighted
at being requested TO take Miss Gladstone
into dinner.-Cor. Omaha World Herald.

Shelby's advance guard was an institu
ton In itself 1t was specially recruited
for the purpose from scouts and border
men. The motto was Never retreat"
and IL soon became an honor for a man to
be promoted from the line into the ad,
vance corps. Shelby possessed every quail
ication for rallying about him the most
daring spirits Of the west. He was Of that
class called 'hustlers" and "boomers," full
to bursting with action and enthusiasm.
His hatred Of shirks and idlers was so
deep that when he found himself in the
White river region Of Arkansas, where
there were at least 10000 refugees Of mill
tary age, he determined to drive into the
Union army those who couldn't be coaxed
into the Confederate. In a proclamation
addressed to those men he said: "You
shall fight for the north or the south.
will enlist you In the Confederate army or
drive yon into the Federal ranks You
shall not remain idle spectators Of q drama
enacted before your eyes"
The order allowed a period Of grace in
which the men could choose which side
they would serve, and closed with the
striking appeal, Come up like men or 60
TO Gen. Steele (the Union commander) like
men,"
Gen. Forrest added To his celebrity as a
cavalrymAn by an attack on a feet Of
Union gunboats at Johnsonville, Tenn.
That was in October, 1854. Some weeks
previous Shelby made q successful attack
on the Union tinclad boat Queen City, at
Clarendon on White river. It was during
his occupation Of the district as a recruit
ing ground. The Union forces held Du.
wallis Bluff and the navy patrolled the
river below that point. Shelby led his
men stealthily to the waters edge at
Clarendon. masked four cannon and a
body Of his soldiers, dismounted for the
purpose, and at daylight opened Gre upon
the unsuspecting sentinel.
II was a short fight and the Queen City
struck her colors. Shelby dismounted her
batteries and then applied the torch. The
ships guns were hauled ashore and placed
in battery near the scene, and in a
short time feet headed by the gunboat

According to the Moslem creed, the rea.
son why every Mohammedan lady eonsid-
ers It her duty 10 wear earrings Is attrib-
uted to the following curious legend;
Sarah, tradition tells us, was so Jealous Of
the preferences shown by Abraham for Ha-
gar that she took q solemn vow that she
would give herself no rest until she bad
mutilated the fair face Of Der hated rival
aud bondmaid. Abraham, who had knowl-
edge Of his wife's intention, did his utmost
TO pacify his imbittered spouse, but long
In vain. AZ length, however, she relented
and decided TO forego her plan Of revenge
But how was she TO fulfil the terms Of the
vow she had entered intoi After mature
reelection she saw her way out Of the din
Guilty. Instead Of dishguring the lovely
features Of her bondmaid she contented
herself with boring q hole In each Of The
rosy lohcs Of her ears.
The legend does not inform rs whether
Abraham afteFward felt it incumbent
upon him to mitigate the smart Of thesG
little wounds by the gift Of q costly pair ol
earrings, or whether HAgar procured thu
trinkets for herself. The TACT remains
however, that the Turkish women, all d
whom wear earrings from their seventh
year, derive the use OF these jewels from
HAgar, who b held In yeneration as thu
mother Of lshmael, the founder Of theiI
race.-JewelerS Review.

LITTLE REAL OVERW0RK.


DR.. Pye Smith holds that there Is nc
fear OF the ordinary man using his brains
too much for health, and be does not be-
Iieve that mental labor or honest work Of
any kind interfefes with health or short
ems life day. He maintains that ex'
cessive eating is what tends to the in
jury Of brain workers more than any
other cause.
Many active brain workers have sud
denly broken down, and fancied that il
was due to brain fatigue, hen. as a mat
ter Of fact, 1t was due to overstufing their
stomachs. The furnace connected with
mental machinery became clOgged up
with ashes and carbon in various shaped
forms, and, as a result, disease came in,
and before the case was fully appreciated
demoFalized condition Of the nervous
system was manifested, and the pFosaic
cause Of the collapse was suppressed un-
der the emphatic mental overwork."
DR.. Smith insists that Il 4 man will
take nutritious, digestible food, in iudic-
iously, lives and works regularly and
rests when fatigued, eultivating at the
same time 4 philosophical habit and
keeping himself aloof from fret and an
noyances, the chances are that be can do
an almost unlimited amount Of work for
an indefinite length Of time. He must,
however, bear in mind that when weari-
ness comes he must rest and not take
stimulants to work up false capital.
