an apparently well authenticated story
OF a girl who has been discovered in

There have been many women war
riors in the world, but it must be ad-
mitted that there have been very few
whose deeds were such as to claim the
admiration Of the country for any
great length Of time. In the annals
of woman's warfare there are gener-
ally stories Of oyer-zealousness, lead
ing to fanatieism and subsequent
punishment and disgrace. Seldom,
indeed. has a woman warrior been
gratefully recognized by The govern
ment of her country Within the
memory of our grandparents there
lived in England a woman named
Hannah Smell, who, when but a girl,
took the strange resolution of enlist
ing as a soldier. She served as a ma.
rine on one OF the vessels Of a fleet
bound for the West Indies, and
showed so much courage that she was
repeatedly promoted. Her sex was
unknown, and therefore il could
never be claimed that Hannah SHELLS
success was due to partiality or favor.

wounded, she extracted the ball her,

service she returned to her native
home at Worcester, England, where
her adventures soon became spread

cation Of her really great career,
granted her a pension of $50. She

The Sound Of a SUNBEAM.

One Of the most wonderful discov-
sries in science that have been made
within the past year Of two is the fact
that beam of light produces sound
A beam of sunlight is thrown through
a lens on a glass vessel that contains
lampblack, colored silk or worsted or
other substances. A disc, having Sits
or openings cut in it, is made to re-
volve swiftly in this beam Of light, 50
as to cut it up, thus making alternate
flashes of light and shadow On put

sounds are heard SO long as the fash

Gently more wonderful discovery has
been made. A beam Of sunlight is
caused to pass through prism, 50 as
to produce what is cnlled the solar spec
trum or rainbow. The disc is turned
and the colored light Of the rainbow is
made to break through it. Now place
the ear to the vessel containing the
silk, wool or other material As the
colored lights Of the spectrum fall up
on it, sounds will be given by differ
ent parts of the spectrum, and there
will be silence in other parts. For in

Stirring Events Resulting from Johnnie's
Exhibition of Youthful Pride.
Johnnie started out with good In
tentions, lust as older persons do,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
His father had told him not to leave
the yard on pain Of dose Of peach
tree tea" Having been a small boy
yourself you probably know the ting
ling properties Of this heroic remedy.
Early in the afternoon Willie came
along.

that young man with the ready inso-
lenee of unrestrained freedom.
NO, l mustn't, answered Johnnie.
Yes, you mus.
Hope er may die.
@Dare you like er black dog to come
out.
Double dare?' cried Johnnie, hop
ing against hope.
@Double dare n cross myself
This was too much for any spirited
person to bear, so Johnnie climbed
over the fence, exclaiming as he
touched the ground;
sNever took er dare, n never viii.
The FIRE bells sounded just then
and Johnnie and Willie started to go
to the fire. but found it was too far
away Coming back Willie said:
NY pap-y's going to buy me a
pony

This argument could not be settled
with mere boasting words. They
struck out together and soon were
rolling in the dust Then after much
scufiing and the tangllng and un-
tangling Of fat, little legs:
@Nuf?n from Johnnie
No answer; more ufling and the
desperate wigglinG of the under pair
of legs, which finally became still.

cred accents

Johnnie got back in the yard just
ten minutes before he saw his father
coming out in the street. Johnnie
opened the gate and waited for him.
why didn't you run and meet me,
soma asked ~pap-y.
~iCause you told me not to go out
the yard
That's so-that's so, patting
Johnnie on the head. as the Goals OF
fire burned deep in that young mans
conscience. Johnnie's behavior was
beautiful that evening, and his efforts
to avoid all reference to the morning
command most sknlful and success

Cures For Indigestion.

The best relief for a bad stomach is
heat. One authority prescribes hot
drinking water, gallon if necessary,
to relieve the system of the waste ma
terial, taken by the cupful at intervals
of five or eight minutes, This draught
will excite perspiration and promote
the action of the skin and kidneys, at
the same time flushing the stomach and
intestines Another cure for the indi-
yidual with ''the blues, lucky enough
to be able to indulge in the luxury OF
invalidism, is an application Of heat in
the form of flannel right out Of the
oven, rubber bag filed with not
water, napkin full OF hot bran, OF a
paper bag containing brickbat, well
done, or sand as hot as Sahara. All
the cures imply a holiday or two holi-
days for the overpowered organs Of di-

Grown old, the mother is sometimes
sorrowfully clearsigbted and frsed
from the blessed Illusions Of youth.
When her children we're little things
playing about the door, and tucked in
to bed at night, all safe and sweet and
rosy, she had her dreams of their fu-
ture. There was nothing too bright,
too brave, too beautiful, for her i'm
agination and her hope as she looked
at her darlings, sleeping or waking.
As they grew older, went to school
and to college, or into the shop and
the counting-room, the mother still
dreamed and planned, still wove her
enchanted stories, in the centre of
which she saw her children, heroes,
professors, scholars, benefactors, cham
pions of the weak, defenders of the
helpless, ornaments of the age, and
renowned-to-be. Her Frank, herCharles,
her Sydney, whatever others might do,
they were bound to excel, to stand in
the van, to reap the rewards. to scale
the heights, to discoved the long-hid-
den secrets.
But there dawns a day upon the
mother when, grown old as wrinkles
and gray hairs testify, she renews the
wonderful keenness and aenteness of
childhoodi she sees the dropping Of
many masks; she comprehends things
as they are. Past the hour of dream
ing and castle building, past the clouds
and the mirage, her vision is like that

A well-known music-hall comedian
once entered hatter's establishment
in Regent Street to have his hat
ironed. While standing bare-headed
in the shop certain bishop came in,
and mistaking him for one OF the as
sistants, handed him his hat with the
remark "Have you hat like that?n
The comedian took the hat, which
was of the shape usually worn by
bishops, and after turning it about
and apparently we'll examining it, he
handed it back "No, he said, ''but

A FINANGIER'S WIFE.
BY EDWARD S. VAN zrnE,


Mrs. Adolphe Mortimer had made
up her mind that if was her duty to
become sacrifice. If there was one
thing that this worthy woman prided
herself nit was her mind, and when
ever that organ reached decision it
clung to it with tenacity worthy OF
almost any cause. Mrs. Mortimer's
will power never slipped its trolley.
She had decided in this instance, to
cast herself as an offering on the altar
of her husbands higher welfare. She
had watched him grow morbid, self
absorbed, restless; and, aftera tedious
but, on the whole, satisfactory process
Of ratiocination, she had reached the
conclusion that it was incumbent upon
her, as his better nall, to revive him,
to enliven his dropping spirits by the
refreshing waters of her own mental
ity.
Having established herself firmly
upon this proposition she cast about
her for some effective method whereby
she could bring the old sparkle back
to his eye. the color to hiswan checks,

was very heavy She decided, after a
time, to try another tack Looking at
him meekly, she asked:
"Adolphe, my darling, what does it
mean when it saws that stock has

Il don't know what it is, my dear,
but almost any stock is glad to get in

This was not especially lucid, but
Genevieye felt that her husband was
thawing a little.
"And what is a gilt-edged security,

He smiled-ay, actually smiled.

This was delightful. He had not
paid her compliment in many days.
"What do you mean?" she asked, at

rested on her kindly.
She blushed like ase.loolgirl. Could
it be that she had really broken the ice

no; again he was lost in thought and

spoke again she might lose in mo-

gain. She sat silent for a while. Fl
