There is no doubt that Maude's great
grandmother would be shocked at the
"goings on Of these latter days. The
old lady would faint at the sight of her
descendants ways; but, after all, isn't
the change for the better? Certainly
the dress is better than the terrible
laciug of revolutionary days, and if
Maude does go "low neck" to a ball, she
appears on the street in "a stout cloth
gown. How any woman ever lived to
be thirty in we olden time is Il mystery.
Why, the way they trampod about in no
sleeves and low necks and tasted them
selves then and fed supposedly on
lilies is enough to make a galloping con-
sumptiyo invalid pale with envy.
Evelena, pale and languid, read poetry
all day, except when she tloated about
like a sylph in the rose garden. It is
bad to rashly judge, but ones private
opinion is that the aforesaid Evelena
had her chunk of beef in the pantry.
Why did Evelena spend all day in
rose garden, Was she supposed to be
studying the beauties Of nature, or had
the old man really sent her out TO spray
the bugs off the bushes:
Another weakness Of Evelenas was
her relapsing ON all occasions into
floods of emotions" and. tears of sweet
sensibility." In fact, one is tempted to
believe that she wandered about clothed
in 'her regal beauty" and an old pale
green calico wrapper. But one fails to
find reason for her emotions
Doubtless they were kept "on tap
and didn't lose their sparkle by frequent
turnings of the spigot, But it must
have been real uncomfortable to sit up
at night learning how to weep and faint
Just at the right time.
But Maude irreyerently thinks the
"goings on" of her great maternal an
cestor triae stupid, and there is no
doubt that she finds the healthy fash
ion far more enjoyable than the dying
in-lcafy-June' style of beauty. Then
Maude walks, rides, drives, goes boat
ing and plays tennis till the blister on
her nose murmurs of "cold cream.

Within year past the recruiting flag
has been hung out in many of our New
England towns and villages by officers
of the Irregular army detailed for the pur-
pose of gathering volunteers to fill up
the ranks of Uncle Sam's forty regi-
ments of infantry, cavalry and artillery.
Once recruiting stations We're maintained
only in big cities like New York and
Boston, but the material secured there
was not Of the best. Secretary Proctor
had an idea that the country youth were
better qualified morally, mentally and
physically, for Il soldiers life than the
lrcgs of our floating urban population,
and under his direction recruiting par
ties, each headed by a commissioned Of
fccr, were sent into rural New England,
New York and some portions Of the
west.
The experiment is said to DO working
admirably so far as the welfare of the
army is concerned, though the officers
do not enjoy the necessity Of moving
from one town to another, drumming
up recruits rs Crommercial traveller
drums mp trade. Tho new system Of en-
listment and the various minor reforms
have had IL marked and instantaneous
| effect upon the character of the army.

Of sensational advertising he succeeded
in gathering a clientele of forty or fifty
ancient DANES, who were assembled, on
a certain day, in long sala, tricked out
with astrological symbols, crucibles,
alembics and all the paraphernalia Of
charlatanry. The conjurer presented
himself before the ladies and addressed
them in hamboyant language, ending as
follows. And now, senoras Of my soul,

With an oath Sturdivant placed him
self at the table and bado his challenger

singular dialogue now gathered around
the table, expecting to see a scene Of
more than usual interest Tho stranger
had not raised his hat brim and none of
us had seen his face, but we all felt from
his general air and manner that Daniel
Sturdivant had at last met his match
1t did not take long to show us that the
stranger was an unusually good player
For am hour or more the playing went
ON in silence, The stakes were high and
the contest marked with rare skill.
Sturdivunt cXertcd himself as ho had
never done before, but in spite of all his
efforts he lost steadily. By tho expira-
tiou of the time indicated above he had
lost over 1000. noticed the flush
upon his face deepen and a strange light
come into his eyes. At last, with an ex-
clamation of triumph, he drew toward
him the hoapof notes.
"That was well done, said the strang-
en- "You are an expert at cheating,

Sturdivant said nothing, but dealt the
cards again. The hand was played and
Sturdiyant was about to seize the stakes
again when the stranger laid down q
card and checked him.
The gambler uttered sharp cry and
sat motionlcss, with his eye fixed on the
card, worn and faded ace Of hearts

divant's face worked convulsiyely as he
gazed at it, and the spectators gathered
more closely around the two, wondering
at the strange scene.
"In Gods name, who are your asked

"Loob at me-" said tho stranger
quietly.
As if powerless to resist, Sturdivant
raised his eyes to the speaker.
The stranger raised his hat and sat

which blazcd with fury. Sturdiyant

An electric storm at sea is one of the

it is one that is least fruitful in disas-

of lightning, especially in the merchant
service. Ships Of war are usually fitted
with lightning conductors, "a precaution
