The Cashmere shawl.

In the glittering but chilly salons of
Versailles doubtless it was for comfort
that Josephine wore the cashmere shawls
that the Egyptian expedition introduced
into France, and which her husband,
with his characteristic regard for the
rights of others, pulled from her Shout
ders and put upon the blaze of an open
fire. These properly folded, or any long
narrow piece of good fabric, worn as a
long scarf, will add flowing lines to the
front of the figure and short horizontal
ones not too rigid to the back.
A good critic says of it: ITO wear it is
a proof of grace, and it imparts great
elegance, especially to tall woman. In
the old portraits by Sir Joshua Reyn-
olds, by Gainsborough, by Stuart and
Copley-further back, in the empire
days, by David-the scarf has been very
effectively used. the long, straight scarf
drawn tightly across the small of the
back, passing over the elbows and drop
ping down in front as low as the knees
or lower. Nowadays one sees them worn
by ladies who have relatives in the east
who send them scarfs of Grape or camels
hair, and occasionally the French ap-
proach the scarf in the style of spring
or autumn wraps. 1t would only take
half dozen ladies who have reputation
for good dressing to persistently adopt
the scarf for others to recognize its grace
and elegance. "-Harper's Bazaar.

speaks of a tree eighteen inches in
diameter being cut down by musket-
balls. want to tell you what know
about that We of the Seventh
Indiana were in line before the Johnnies
near Spottsylvania Courthouse on the
morning of May IL, 1864, when the good
news came down our line that Han
cocks Second corps had charged that
morning just before daylight and cap
tured four thousand prisoners, two
field officers, twenty cannon, great
many small-arms, and several stands of
colors. OF course we were much pleas
ed at this news, and threw up our hats
and shouted with all the force of our
lungs. About this time our regiment
wss ordered to make forced march to
the left; and after marching four or five
miles we heard the roar of heavy mus
kerry in our front, and pushing for
ward across hollow and up a hill, we
came up to and relieved regiment that
had been firing in front of a rebel fort
since early morning which had not yet
surrendered to Hancock. We were
drawn up within one hundred feet of
the fort. and our orders were to fire as
fost as possible and we kept a constant
stream of balls pouring over this fort,
so that the Johnnies could not raise
their heads above the breastworks to
fire at US without being hit by our bull
lets. We continued firing until late in
the evening, when, after our guns had
become so dirty we could hardly get
ball down them, we were re-
lieved and moved back to our
old position in the line just beyond
the fort, and in line with our firing
stood large tree. which, when our reg
iment was relieved, appeared to be al
most cut down. and when the regiment
started back to its old position, Capt
Jeffrey requested me to stay and see II
it did actually fall In about two hours
after our regiment left the fort, the
Johnnies shot up the white flag just as
the tree fell to the ground. | was so
glad it was over, and started up the hill
to the fort where Hancock's corps had
charged early in the morning. 1t had
been raining all day and part of the
night before, and the mud was deep.
The dead and wounded had been re-
moved. l5napsacks, portfolios, writing
paper pens and ink, letters, etc, were

There are few things that are so care
lessly handled and which give so little
satisfaction for this reason as a bathing
sponge A large sponge is always a
somewhat expensive item, and when it
becomes odorous, as it sometimes does
after little use, one hesitates to throw
it away at once, expecting to restore it.
This is very difficult matter to accom-
plish Repeated scaldings will often fail
to make a sponge sweet and soft as it was
originally.
The best way to do is to take care of
it at first. If the sponge is freed from
soapsuds and hung where it will get dry
each time after it is used, it will not be-
come sour. In order to do this, wash
the soap out with warm water after
using it and rinse it in cold water
Squeeze it as dry as you can with the
hands, but do not wiring it, as that
would break the fibers.
1t is a good thing to dry sponges in
summer in the bright sunshine. Irwin
ter they must be dried by artificial heat,
and for this reason special care must be
taken to rinse them clean after using
them. 1t is great mistake to shut a
sponge up in close box, even though it
may be one of solid silver. A sponge
shut up in this way with the least damp
ness is sure to acquire an impure odor in
time. The best place to keep sponge
is on hanging earthen tray or in an
open basket of wire near the bathtub,
where it can dry and is always conven-
ient.-New York Tribune.

Selling old Gold.

In the face of the much prophesied
gold famine, old gold isin great demand
1t is bought by the refners for mechan-
ical purposes and is paid for with spot
cash of the greenback variety.
Old gold is very rich, not only inmon-
etary value, but in strange and interest
ing suggestion. Most of it is in the
shape of dilapidated jewelry. A worn
band of gold comes in. 1t was once a
wedding ring and must have been held
as precious beyond all price by the bride
who wore it during the honeymoon. In
after years, rs it was worn and worn till
it was almost worn away. it must have
fiuctuated many times in value.
The ring does not say whether its own
er was happy or not. The link of gold
may have bound together loving hus-
band and wife, or it may have connect
ed widow with heaven or with the
GOODNESS of a steel it may have held her
like galley slave chained to compan-
ion that she hated
The ring tells none of these things. 1t
is old fashioned and worn, and that
shows that it has seen long service. Per-
haps it was worn by strangers, being SUI
perseded by another wedding ring, or
perhaps it was a precious family heir
loom handed down from generation to
generation.
The purchaser rubs it on a smooth
stone until it leaves a yellow mark. A
dropof nitric or compound acid discolors
this mark so that the expert assayer can
tell the purity Of the gold. Then it is
carefully weighed and paid for at the
rate perhaps Of or cents a carat
