WORLDS FAIR DRESSES.
Sensible Pointers for Those Who
Will Wear Them.

Navy, grayiSh-blue, gray and golden
brown serge of a light weight are serv-
iceable, inasmuch as they shake the
dust, do not wrinkle nor soil easily, and
dye well when the owner is ready for
remaking them, writes Emma NJ. Hooper
in a valuable ARTICLE on travelling
Dresses" in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. Mixed and striped chew
lots are as staple as serges and
share their good traits, while being
newer in their mixed appearance than
plain color is. These are in navy and
Russian blue. brown, tan, gray, violet
and green effects, the last two not APP
pearing liz the inexpensive goods. Hop
Sacking mixtures are similar to chevlot,
but are OF a more sleaZy weave, and
might be called thin hOmespun were it
not that hOmeSpun is out of fashion and
hOp-SackIng is in.
These mixtures are in every possible
combination of TWO or three shades or
colOrs, and cost from 81 to $3.50 yard,
with width of forty-two to forty eight
inches. Serge is from thirty-elght to
sixty inches in width, aud costs from 80
cents to 81, with an excellent quality at
rs cents and 81. Cheviot may be had for
40 cents to $3.50 yard. and from forty
to forty-eight inches in width; the popu-
lar qualities cost 10 cents and 81. For

A Sensible Fashion.

The growing fashion OF giving girl
children but one name. as Helen" or
Katherine" so that when, if they
marry, they may retain, with their new
signature, their full maiden name, is
part of TINS subject of identification of
signature, writes Frances E. Lanigan
in the May Ladies' Home Jour
nal. 'MoIlie Irene Brown" is not
as euphoniouS nor as sensible
as "MolIie Garfield Brown or Nellie
Grant Sartoris." This custom has the
further advantage of securing the
woman's immediate recognition not only
as her husbands wife, but also as her
fathers daughter. Mrs. Brown or Mrs.
Sartoris signifies but little, but Mrs.
Garfield Brown or Mrs. Grant Sartoris
tells lis own story.

IN one way most fathers OF daughters
are very forgetful, as well as negligent
OF the best interests of their daughters
future; aud that is in the way in which
they neglect their financial education.
How many wealthy fathers in st. Paul
Go you suppose give their girls a stated
monthly salary for their own use, re-
curing them TO supply all their personal
wants as to dress, charity, religion and
pleasure from it, requiring, in short,
that they should manage this sum just
as they would be obliged to manage a
salary if they had to make their own
living, or their husbands salary or in
come if they were married? l am
afraid the number is aStonishingly
small, and yet from an economic
point of view, it should be money in
their pockets TO do so. Someway men
enjoy the feeling that they are looking
out for their women folk, and keeping
the seamy side of life out of their view
so well that they resist the least in
timatiOn that they shOnld instruct
them in financial way as bitterly as
they would deadly insult. Bless their
dear kind hearts, Its lovely of them to
feel that way. and women love them
better for feeling that way, but all the
same it is a cruel kindness. if not
criminal neglect to raise girls in that
way. How do yOu expect your daught-
eTS will learn the value of money. my
dear sir. if you put into her hand just
enough for the moments use? She may
not like to ask for it-nO woman does,
but she will have no incentive to plan
and manage to see how far she can
make it 90, if she has only the
price of a dress or a pair of shoes
at ore time, and can have the same by
asking again. Some fathers complain
that their girls look upon them simply
as machines to make money for their
spending. Can yOu blame them if you
have raised them that way? When you
cone home tired out and beSet with
perpleXities as to how this or that bust
ness venture will turn out. if you go
into your own den and fret by yourself,
or worse. sit like deaths head at the
family hearth, with never a word to
these women who love you to explain
the reason for your care. can you be
surprised if some time you hear your
pretty young daughter wonder What
papa is mad about nOw?" OF course
you can't. Take my word for it. my
dear sir, that if you should say to your
daughter that you were worried about
business. no foot would be so fleet, no
eye so vigilant. no tongue so cunning
as hers to do all that in them lay to ease
your care. Then, if you told her when
she wanted money that you feared that
she was not spending her money Judi
ciously, and suggested that she try liv-
ing on an allowance, you would be sur
pTised to see how gladly she would try
the experiment. She ShOulc be required
to say what she thought she could live
on, and, after consultation with both
mother and father, the sum decided
upon, and then both sides should abide
by that decision. The experiment will
be educational on both sides.

AMERICAN RANK OFGENERAL
1t Has Been Held Only by Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan.


The following communication was re-
ceived some days ago from reader of
this paper, says the Rochester Post-Ex-
press:
Will you be kind enough to tell me
what officers of the army of the United
States held the rank of general and
what ones held that of lieutenant gen.
eral?
This question is often asked of the
newspapers and it is seldom answered
correctly. In order to get official infor
nation, the Post-EXpreSS sent letter
of inquiry to the war department and
received the following reply:
Sir: Replying to your letter of the
Goth inst. beg to say that the only
officers of the American army who ever
held the full rank of general were
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. These
also held the full rank of lieutenant
general previous to their appointments
to the grade of general.
Gen. Washington was commissioned
lieutenant general July 4, 179S, but he
was never appointed to the full rank of
general under the authority conferred
by the act of March 3, 1913. Gen. Scott
was commissioned brevet lieutenant
general March Z, 1855, but he never held
the full rank of lieutenant general.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE D. RUGGLES,
Assistant Adjutant General.
The World almanac gives Washing
ton the rank of general. Other books
of reference that we have seen do the
same. The popular impression GER
tainly is that Washington held the rank
of general and that Scott was lieuten-
ant general, but the letter from Assist
ant AdJutant General Ruggles shows
that this Is a mistake. Washington,
only ones who held the rank of lieuten-
ant general, and Grant, Sherman, Sher-
ldan were the only ones vino held the
rank of general.
1T may be added that during the war
of the revolution Washington had no
higher title than that of major general.
He was commissioned lieutenant-gen-
eral by President Adams July 4, 179S,
under the act of May % OF ttat year.
War with the French directory was
threatened, and the young republic
was preparing for hostilities. March 3.
1899. an act was passed by congress con-
tanning this provision: THAT a com
mander of the army of the United States
shall be appointed and commissioned by
the style of general of the armies of the
United States, and the present office
aud title of acknowledgement shall
thereafter be abolished" War with the
French did not come. however, and the
nomination of Washington to be gem
eral of the army was never sent to the
senate and lie was never commissioned.

A LOST PLEASURE HOUSE.

Love built for himself pleasure house
A pleasure house fair to see;
The roof was gold, aud the walls thereof
Were delicate ivory.
Violet crystal the windows were,
All cleaning and fair to see;
Pillars of rose-stained marble upbore
That house where men longed TO be.
Violet golden and white and rose,
That pleasure house fair TO see
DId show to ali; and they gave Love thanks
For work of such mastery
Love turned away from his pleasure house,
Aud stood by the salt deep sea;
He looked therein, and he flung therein
Or his treasure the only key.
Now never man till time be done
that pleasure house fair to see
Sh..ll ill with music and merrimenL
Or praise II On Bonded knee.

1t was dense fog; moreover, it was

Jack Fabert trudged along.
Amy stephanotiS today. Nellie?" he
asked, suddenly hating. 1t was only
tine morning before that he had learned
her name.
Yes" she answered, peering into
her basket.
He watched her hand grope among
the flowers; it was small bat red. He
pitied iT.
He dropped the penny among the
flowers and went on his way to dot up
figures.
The rain continued and the mire
thickened. Umbrellas and mackin-

Everybody wanted to get away from the
weather.
Some one accosted her after midday.

here any longer" she continued.
Roses are scarce" he remarked,
dropping coin into the basket.
She watched his umbrella until it got
too mixed with others to be recogniZ-
able; then she looked for the penny. 1t
glittered brightly amongst the moss and
fern--very brightly.
"a shillingr' she murmured. The
girl glanced eXcitedly round for his UNI
brella; it was quite lost to sight. He's
made a mistake: he
The shilling lay III the palm of her
hand; her fingers closed convuISively
over it. For the first time that day her
lips quivered and her eyes filled with
tears. In few moments she was trudg-
ing back to her garnet at Stepney.

THEIR ROMANCE.

Tit-Bits
He dotted up figures at the London
and Surrey bank. She sold flowers at
Charing Cross corner.
-Four times day he passed her to and
from his occupation. In wet weather
or fine he daily expended one penny
upon 'button-hole." In wet weather
or fine she was there to provide him
with the pOsy.
The man had no vices, and only one
eXtravaganee-that daily expenditure
which made deficit of sixpence in the
weeks salary.
The girl had no vices, and only one
mlSfortune-her poverty.
The clerk lived alone in shabby
combined room off the embankment.
The flower girl shared garnet with a
sister vender in court at Stepney.
The day was hot; the streets threw
up clouds of dust. The girl saw the
clerk making his way rapidly.
Between the multiplicity of human
shoulders she caught Intermittent
glimpSeS of scarlet geranium. As he
passed she noted that some of the petals
we're missing, and that the green leaf
curled at the edges.
lie nodded to her; she smiled at the
fading pOsy. He looked back as he
stepped on to the opposite curb. She
was blushing.

A SeasOnabIe Hint.

In putting down oilclOth you do not
tack as you go, as with carpets-plan
out the whole room first, putting in a
tack here and there to hold il all in po-
sition until ready for the final lacking.
1t is disagreeable work to fit oilcIoth,
and you will need very sharp knife to
cut it in shape. A good way of keeping
a keen edge is to have piece of fine
emery paper, and every once in a while
lay the blade of the knife fiat on it,
drawing it along as if it were all oil
stone. After the Oilcloth is fitted put
in as few tacks as possible. Mating is
laid in the same way, and here again
staples will be found better than tacks
to use at the Jennings to prevent fray
ing.

IF CHOLERA COMES.
Some Simple Suggestions That
May Be Valuable.

1t is well to keep in the medicine
chest, or where they may easily be
found, a bottle of the spirits of camphor
and one of the old standard remedy
known as the Sun Mixture" the pre-
scriptiOn published by the New ork
sun, under official direction. in the time
of the great cholera epidemic, writes
Helen Jay in timely article on ''If the
Cholera ShOld Come" in the May La
dies Home Journal. This medicine is
not expensive, and can be bought of
any druggist IN country, town or city.
= Experienced psychologists say that
i've drops of fcamphOr in a small glass
of brandy is the best medicine to give
until the arrival of physician. For
little children there are camphGr pellets
sufficiently sweet TO be palatable. The
use of these pellets is said to be an eX-
cellent ''ounce of prevention" for those
acting as nurses or otherwise exposed
TO contagiOn. To absorb disagreeable
OdOrS in sick room, nothing is better
than caScarilla bark sprlnkled upon hot
Goals. For an ordinary disinfectant
rosin is excellent; but care should be
taken not to place too much at a time
upOn the fire.
