conspicuously overeating at dinner
some years ago, excused himself from

Boileau's well known line, 'In eating
well, l praise the food" "Ah, sir"
said one of the guests, significantly,
'you carry praise to the point of

Their Drill.

While an order from military h~eadquar
tiers demands obedience, there may be more
than one way of obeying it, according to
the statement of an old time member of
Michigan regiment. Early in the year 1861
there came an order from headquarters,
central district of Texas, requiring COM
pany drills twice each day in every regi-
ment in the command.
AS the weather was hot and the regiment
was soon to be mustered out, the colonel
thought compliance with this order useless,
and so ordered wv daily drills of five min
utes each.
knowledge of this evasion of orders
reached the general commanding, and
forthwith there came an order for a drill of
two hours each day, in compliance with
which the following order was read at even
ing parade:
Headquarters ID Michigan infantry
volunteers. In obedience to orders from
superior headquarters, there will be COM
pany drills from half past 8 to half past 10
O'Clock a. m. each day. The commander
OF the regiment desires that the most shady
spots be selected for drills, and that the
men shall not be exposed to violent exercise
in the heat of the sum-
The drill took place. A shady spot was
carefully selected, and for two hours the
orders to 'stack arms" and rest" were
c~heerfully followed.-Youth's Companion.

The Girl.

The really popular girl always knows a
lot. She knows enough not to gossip about
people who have one her ~favors, and who
are in a way Of doing her favors. She
knows enough to dress appropriately at all
times and never to be overdressed. She
knows enough not to wear diamonds, dis
cuss religion or politics, boast about her
ancient lineage or tell long winded tales.
She knows enough to keep silence, and she
knows how to talk we'll. She knows how
to dance, swim, row, sail a boat, play the
piano and banjo, sing negro melodies and
college songs. She knows enough not to
''giye away" all the funny condolences the
boys give her when in the blues or feeling
particularly good, and she knows how to
cook when they are stranded on an island,
becalmed and without oars or a stick with
which to pole home. She knows just how
to catch a fish and then to cook it, and she
knows enough not to growl and whine and
complain until they are safely home.-New

Home Millinery.

If you try TODD any millinery at home. be
sure in covering a buckram frame to first
bind the edge with a double bit of crown
lining or some soft silk; cut it on the bias
and hold pretty tight while sewing.
This binding takes away the thin, sharp
look from the edge Of the hat and gives a
good, firm foundation to take hold of when
slipstitching the velvet together; moreover,
it takes away the "homemade' appearance.
