oVERTAKEN BY TIE STORM.
What Happened to Sheridan's Hessepge
When His Horse Stumbled.

A group of old cavalrymen were
gathered in the smoking room at their
post headquarters one stormy day, en-
gagged in narrating marvellous tales of
the speed and endurance of the horses
they had owned or handled during the
famous struggle when Gle, whose
fame as q good story teller is not
strengthened by d reputation for We
racity, spoke up, saying:
you remember that big chestnut
| rode when attached to Sheridan's
headquarters III GAP" A smile passed
around the circle, and the Major, with
wink, replied. No, what was he
Gile?"
what was he? Why, he was the
fastest horse in Sheridan's cavalry. He
had but one fault-he wasn't sure
footed-and that was what cost me
these scars / CARRY to remind me of
the hottest race | ever took part in"
His hearers remembered the many
ways in which Gle had told those
scars were received, and knew good
story was coming.
Il got him of a Southern planter"
Gle continued, land the stories of his
speed soon got to headquarters.
Whether this helped to bring it about
I can't say, but twas but a short time
before they had me engaged in carry
ing important dispatches through the
enemy's lines. The surrounding
country was infested with guerrillas,
aud Mosby's men were especially act
i've in capturing our detached pickets
and scouts. AS you may see my work
was of an exceedingly hazardous ma
ture, but, as I was familiar with the
country, and always kept my eyes
open, had little fear of being drawn
into an ambush, and when it came to
a chase | knew they hadn't the horse
that could overtake. me.
But one morning as | was riding
leisureIy down the Brownsville turn
pike / heard hoof-beats behind, and
turning saw a squad of JOhnnies
| coming down on me on the gallop.
touched the spurs to my horse and
was off like the wind, and soon | heard
| the pop, pop, pop Of their carbines be-
hind me- They fired till their ammu-
| milton was exhausted and never touch
ed me, and | should have got off all
right, but just then my horse stumbled
and fell. Before | could rise and
mount again | was struck by storm
| of bullets"
why, how was that?" the Major
broke in. "yCu said their ammunition
was exhausted"

FACIAL PECULlARITlES.
The Left Side Is the Prettiest, But tho
Bright Shows Most Character.

The other afternoon | was in the
studio of well known photographer.
With me was an artistic friend who
called my attention to a popularity If
the photographs arranged around the
walls. There were pretty women in
abundance, and children and men In
all kinds of poses and costumes.
did you ever notice." said my
friend, chat nine out of ten of tho
pictures one sees show the LETT side of
the face?"
"No," | answered, never did, nor
can | imagine why such should be the
case"
There is very good reason for it,
which lies in the fact that in the vast
majority of cases the left side Of the
face is the good looking side. Every
photographer knows this and takes
advantage of it. Now look around the
room and see if it is not as | tell you"
A careful investigation showed mo
the absolute correctness of my friends
observation. In the whole studio there
were not more than half dozen photo
graphs showing the right side of tho
face, and none of them seemed to be at
all HdJJeTlhS.

artist, eff you want to get at the real

ugly side, as portrait painters some
times call it. There you vii! find the
lines bold and harsh, with every defect
accumulated. On the left side, how
ever, everything is softened down and
the face is at its best.
"Whenever you suspect a man of
trickery or deceit, and this rule APP
plies equally to the fair sex, stand on
their right and watch the expression
closely. There never yet was an actor
skilful enough to cover up the marks
of his real personality, which are
stamped by nature for the man who

HOW WOMEN TRAVEL.
The Wise Have Learned the Art of Going
with Light Luggage.

There is nothing so inconvenient as
the conveniences of travel. says the n.
Y Eveni1ag San. A bride may appro-
priately have an orthodox travelling
bag equipped with cut-glass bottles,
for in the first flush of enthusiasm her
husband viii carry the bag. But
women who travel much, if they have
no maids, soon get down to light
marching order.
Emergencies, to be sure, may arise
for which they are unprepared. but
that is of less consequence than always
being prepared for emergencies. The
accustomed traveller desires nothing so
much as to be hand free, and If she
carries a bag it is so small that it will
hold nothing more than comb, brush,
soap, towel, pair of slippers and
dressing-sack. Another will spurn
bag and carry only a shawl-strap, into
which she crowds her necessary be-
lOngings and which will expand or
contract as the occasion requires. A
shawl-strap, moreover, is more easily
carried than a bag. Everything else
goes in trunk, of which she frees her
mind by seeing it checked from post
to post.
1t is curious to find out just what
women do consider essential to their
comfort in travelling. Waving the
customary articles of toilet, one woman
says she must have macintosh and
a bottle of cologne water. Another in
sists only on novel of Anthony Troll
lOpe or one Of Old Dumas and pair
of slippers. Inquiry of a third discov-
ers that the important things are
little flask and a hand mirror. A
fourth must have box Of peppermint
lozenges and q soft felt hat. Another
never stirs without a box of mustard
leaves, and another sees to it that she
has an eye stone. a hOt-water drinker
must have a tiny spirit lamp Not
one of a haIf-dO2en women toward
whom inquiry was directed carried an
umbrella, but all took something to
read and to eat, chocolate lozenges be-
ing preferred as highly fortifying and
of small compass.
Although our distances are much
greater than those of Great Britain
we travel far lighter weighted than
EngIishwomen. Among the small ar
ticles recently recommended TO be
taken by Englishwomen travelling is
down quilt. One woman encountered
carried her bath. 1t was of zine or
japanned tin, covered with black oil
cloth. She carried it into the COM
partrnent, although it was as large as
champagne basket She used it as
small trunk by fitting it inside with a
square calico lining. This had draw
string around the edges. When she
wanted to use it as bath she pulled
the draw strings and lifted the bag
and her wardrobe ont.
TO be sure her things got Stirred up,
but she didn't mind chat 50 long as
she had her tub; she preferred her
bath to sisters; it was lighter. sis
ter's had wicker lining, which could
be lifted out without disturbing the
contents. No. she didn't mind carry
ing it so long as she could have what
she needed by her. And she went off
bowed like a porter.

English Song Birds for Oregon.

The climate of Oregon and Washing
ton is so much like that of England in
its mildness and moisture that the
plan of importing song birds of the
latter country bids fair to be sue
cess. In a consignment of birds re-
ceived the other day were skylarks,
nightingales, thrushes, fnches, and
the English robin. They are to be
kept in an aviary until the spring,
when they will be released in the Will
lamette and other sheltered valleys
near the coast. A story went the
rounds recently that the song of a
nightingale had been heard in Oregon,
and many persons who read it were
incredulous, believing that the night
ingale was never seen or heard out OF
Europe. The only explanation posi-
bic was that this nightingale was a
newcomer that was being acclimated.

The EaseI-Desk.

Some person, whose inventive genius
would insist upon asserting itself, has
invented new mbination in furni-
ture which will recommend itself, no
doubt, 10 many persons who have a
liking for furnishings that have a
touch Of mystery about them. When
it stands upright it looks like an easel
holding a portfolio. But there is a
knob on the top, which, being pressed,
lets down the front of the portfolio.
A pair of slender steel legs let them
selves down from somewhere to sup
port the front of the portfolio, which
proves to be the shelf of the desk.
Back of that are numerous pigeon
holes, boxes, and conveniences for
holding things, with inkstands, pen
ellis, rulers, calendars, and other equip
ments OF a desk. In the top of the
easel frame also is a tiny clock. An
other easel of the same design lets
down into dressing table with pale
blue upholstery, a large bevelled mir
ror, and many brushes and boxes.

A Remarkable Brain.

at is remarkable" said Mr.. Andrew
Morgan, what great strain the brain
will sustain; for example, that pro-
duced by championship game of
chess in which the player is blind
folded. ReceAtly medical authority
has given his views to the world upon
the subject aud he supports his views
by citing several cases which have
come under his observation. The ten
sion on the brain is enormous, as any
one can understand who realizes what
blindfolded play really is. Imagine a
man concentrating his thought on
twelve chess-boardS and then on the
positions on each board and then you
can conceive what such an effort must
be. One famous player stated that his
plan was this: He formed twelve
mental boards. Each had, as it were,
a little closet of its own. When the
door of number one was closed that of
number two was opened and so on to
the last. After one of his games it
was always three hours before he could
obtain sleep.
A remarkable discovery has recently
been made with regard to the brain of
one Vi Ghe IdHiouS CLess-pidy GLE
young doctor made post-mortem ex-
animation of the cells and arrived at
an interesting conclusion. Under a
microscope, he says, these cells were
exactly the shape of chess-boards. The
brain examined was that of a man
who could play twelve games simulta-
ueously and who had tried fourteen
but without success. On twelve of
the cells the boards were quite distinct
but on the other two they appeared
blurred and indefinite.
Here is food for reflection. Sup
pose the brain of the spring poet be
examined, will the doctor be mortified
by reading off the effusion which the

Discoveries at Pompeii.

While prosecuting the excavations
at Pompeii few weeks ago the work
men discovered small room used by
a private family for the worship of the
gods. The architecture, according to
reports, was exceedingly graceful and
attractive. Beautiful frescoes still
adorned the walls. On one side of the
room was figure of Hercules, while at
the other end was an altar still show
ing marks of the sacrifices which had
been made upon it. Bronze figures re-
presenting half-clad priestess in the
attitude of prayer and Mercury were
also in the room. A gold-bronze amulet
was also found. The various articles
have been placed in the Museum OF
Naples, where they can be seen by
visitors.
