OUTPOST nat, In the Ru s.ian Army.

Outpost nuty Ia the Ru ISLAM Army.
In the German army every soldier Is
taught to act intelligently on outpost
service and in scouting operations, and
this is not too much to require in coun-
try where every soldier reads and writes
and can readily understand map and
compass. In Russia, however, where
nine -tenths of the people cannot read or
write and have lost the faculty OF think
ing consecutively, the army cannot teach
the soldier much more than to move as
with a machine. In order to have force
of good men for picket work and ad-
vance skirmishing they have adopted
this plan:
Each company sends four Of its most
intelligent men to select body called
the scouting corps, and as the Russian
regiment has four battalions, with four
companies each, that gives regimentai
scout force of Gi. This service is very
popular, for it is full of variety, and
though the hardship is great the food is
good, for hunting and fishing are in the
programme. The men are practiced in
every kind of woodcraft and are expect
ed to develop as much ingenuity and
self reliance as an Indian scout in our
service. They must sail, row, swim,
climb, find their way by map and COM
pass, slip through the enemy's lines,
procure every variety of information
and escape capture at all hazards

1t may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form Of
art, or even that we allow it any place
among the fine arts. To many it will
seem kind of sacrilege to combine in
the same category, however broad, such
extremes as dancing savage and a
painting of the last Judgment, and If
the connection must be made some
would choose to make it along other
lines than those of art. But, in truth,
the dance supplies US with the key, so to
speak, of the development Of the fine
arts.-David J. Hill in Popular Science

Kissed bv bismarck.

Bismarck has won the hearts of all the
German women by his exhibition of that
fondness for kissing fresh young faces
forwhich your General Sherman was fa-
nous. Lilli Finzelberg, young Ger
man sculptress, went with her sister to
call upon Bismarck in Kissingen. His
habit is to let devoted women kiss his
hand. When leaving, these young wo-
men tried to kiss his hand, but the prince
said: "Hold on. We will do that much
simpler" He then laid hold of the two
girls and gave each several loud, hearty
kisses. The result is that both young
women have become famous throughout
the empire.
Bismarck's habit of letting women kiss
his hand has given rise to a strange Gus
tom. In certain circles women make
collections of kisses of celebrated men.
Some of these are valuable and most in
teresting-more so than all the stamp
and coin collections in the world. Real
Bismarck kisses, however, are exceed
ingly rare, and the Finzelberg girls are
the envy of all kiss collectors. Berlin

A Pretty Bad Picture.

For vulgarity, for boldness, for folly,
ignorance, want of principle, petty weak
ness, intrigue and positive vice, you must
so to the average society woman. Her
one motive is self seeking. She is bad
wife, bad mother and false friend.
For intellect she has fair supply of
shrewdness and cunning; for religion, a
rotten conglomerate of emotional euDer-
stitions that do not improve her cong act;
for virtue, the hope of not being found
out, while for charity, good feeling, mod
esty and every womanly attribute She
substitutes tact-the tact to respond out
wardly to what she sees is required Of
her by different people.-Sarah Grand in

The Lorgnette,s Rival.

The lorgnette seems to have given
place this season to the Louis Quinze
eyeglass, which is a sort of compromise
of the two extremes of lorgnette and
prince nez. This is worn attached 70 a
cord, or, if one likes things d title
snowy, to slender chain of gold c. sill
yer matching the dainty trife. To many
persons the lorgnette-the long handled
shell affair which is thrust in the cor
sets, to be drawn forth at unexpected
moments and transfix its victim with a
level stare-is an intolerable imperti-
nence. There is an air about it certain
ly, but it is not a good air, except when
it is in the hands of the most well bred
and refined women.-New York Sun.

died at good old age, after doing much
thinking and good deal of hard work,

she concludes her argument with: 81

wbx we Do Not Take scalps.

If war is unhappily still prevalent, it
is at least not war in which every clan
is fighting with its neighbors, and where
conquest means slavery or extirpation.
Millions of men are at peace within the
limits of q modern state and can go about
their business without cutting each 9TH
er's throats. When they fight with other
nations, they do not enslave nor mas
sacre their prisoners.
Taking the purely selfish ground,
Hobbies can prove conclusively that
everybody has benefited by the social
compact which substituted peace and
order for the original state of war. Is
this, then. reversal of the old state of
things-a combating of ''cosmic proc
ess?' l should rather say that it is u
development of the tacit alliances and a
ternecine conflict. Both were equally
implied in the older conditions. and both
still exist. Some races form alliances,
while others are crowded out of exist
ence. OF course cease to do some
things which should have done before.

guests are always finding themselves
short of fork or spoon; whose dain-

AT EVENING.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold.
The sweet young grasses wither on the void,
And we. o Lord. have wandered from thy fold.
But evening brings us home.
Among the rnists we stumbled, and the rocks
Where the brown lchen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered
tiocks,
But evening brings us home.
The sharp thorns prick us, ana our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pitiful complaints-oh, rest Is sweet
When evening brings us home.
We havc been wounded by the hunters darts.
Our eyes are very heavy. and our hearts
Search for thy coming--when the light departs

The darkness gathers Through the gloom no
star
Rises TO guide us. We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp we know not whore we are.
At evening bring us home.
The clouds are round us. and the snowdrifts
thicken.
o thou. dear Shepherd, leave us not to sicken
In the waste night; our tardy footsteps quicken

Putting Away summer Clothing.

It is an accepted fact among women,
founded upon good reason, that when
ones belongings are valuable and costly
the services of a maid are not a luxury,
but q necessity and really an economy.
Delicate fabrics need great care in han
ding and preserving, and fine boots,
shoes, gloves and handkerchiefs are not
to be tossed about carelessly and still
preserve their freshness. But without a
maid and with q comparatively simple
wardrobe need of care even will be
found a great protection.
In putting away summer wash dresses
they must be rough dried, then folded
and packed in box or trunk by them
selves. 1t is an excellent idea to go ovol
each one and take the few mendind
stitches that are sure to be needed
Challies, crepons and summer sill
should be carefully shaken and brushc
spots sponged, bows of ribbon taken
and unmade if possible, or the dust car,
fully wiped off with bit of silk dipped
in weak ammonia water and packed
away in separate boxes. The same rule
applies where laces trim the dresses. If
these are washable, they should be
washed, otherwise shaken and wound
around bottle or wooden roll
1t is a good plan to let the dresses hang
wrong side out in the air all of a sunny
morning-if you live in hotel to hang
in hot room the same length of time is
a good substitute. Rumpled rucEes
shields and bent bones should be taken
from the waists, and skilled maid says
the waist Innings should be brushed down
every seam, with cologne and water
Feathers and flowers should be talSer
from the hats and bonnets, wrapped
carefully and separately in tissue papol
and consigned to boxes where they vii
not be crushed. The flowers should hal
each leaf pulled out, and if breathed G.
before using again will be found as fires
as ever. Parasols ought to be rolled, bu
have loose slip cover put on after thcl
