Ease of Department in Company.
Everything that is useful may be
gained by labor. You may not have
the hereditary gift of good breeding;
you may lack the early training of
schools and home; yet the values OF
these you can take into yourself by
observation, study and practice, pro-
vided always that you realize the eff
cacy as well as the beauty of unself-
ishness. But unselfshness is precise
ly opposite to self-neglect. Make
yourself model man or woman for
the sake of truth, honesty and happi-
into others. 1t is the highest mani
festation of health, this self-shaping
power by which the individual grows
to the full-rounded stature of man
or woman and is able to meet the de-
mands of life without hustle or trep-
idation or any undue show of strain.
Be calm observer for one evening
at any social gathering and you will
be able to detect at glance the
young person who gesticuiates vehe-
mently and laughs immoderately for
want of any other mode of expressing
confusion of embarrassments or in
sheer nervous excitement. The petty
surprises of the occasion destroy the
equilibrium of such a mind and break
it into unmanageable cross currents of
self consciousness and vulgar anxiety.
We must understand, then, that
ease of department is but the ade-
quate and perfectly natural express
sion of inward harmony. The repose
of manner which we all SO much ad-
mire in great men is quite different
from the sphinx-like inscrutability of
the we'll. trained butler; it is the diff
ference between countenance and
face; one is from deep within. the
other is an exterior mask. The soul
must be cultivated to insure that fine
physical poise which like some happy
verse or phrase in poetry, seems too
exquisitely modelled to be artificial.
Ease of department, then, is to be
sought through a knowledge Of life
and of your relation to your fellow
beings. Two apparently antagonistic
elements must be blended to accom-
plish it: the aristocracy of self-re-
spect and the democracy Of self for
getfulness. Respect yourself too
much to neglect your own good; re-
spect others too much to appear So
licitous for their admiration. Eake
for granted that you are an adeoSAate
factor; but.never insist upon your adj
equacy. Leave your diploma at
home, and let others accentuate your
Importance The Chautauquan.

Minced Chicken.

Mince very fine all the white meat
of cold roast chicken. Put the bones
and all the trimmings into saucepan
with a bunch of savory herbs, half a
blade of mace and pint of broth or
water; let this all cook for nearly an
hour, and then strain it off. Chop two
hard boiled eggs very fine; season the
chicken with little pepper, salt and
mace; mix twith the eggs. Thicken
the gravy with a teaspoonful Of flour,
au ounce and half of butter and a
cup of cream. Pour the gravy over
the chicken mixture; let it get very
hot, but do not let it boil. Garnish
the dish with sippets of toasted bread.

and sold them to the people in the
village. A buyer for clothing shop
was passing through the village and
saw the garments. He gave an order
for some to be shipped to his firm.
employs 900 or 300 women. For the
name Mother Hubbard she receives a
certain sum, and has literally laid by
enough money to keep her from want,
even though the demand for these
articles of feminine attire may cease
any day.
Keeping the Baby Amused.
A baby will be attracted for
short time by some fine toy that he can
simply look at, but he will spend ten
times as long in putting pegs into
holes in board contriyed for the
purpose or in taking out one by one
from well-filled basket articles, no
matter what-spools, blocks, clothes
pins-any thing SO that they are some
times changed and he does not tire of
the monotony. Then the task of
putting them all back keeps HIM
busy for still a longer time. AS baby
becomes more discerning and his
fingers more nimble a pleasing device
for his employment is a board with
variously shaped holes, round, square,
triangular, etc, with blocks and
spheres to fit into the various places.
Should these be in bright colors his
love for color may also be gratified,
and learning these colors soon fol-
lows, Little tasks of carrying articles
from one portion Of the room to
another or from room to room will
often keepa child busy and interest
ed for hours, says Elizabeth Robinson
Scovil in the Ladies Home Journal
A small hammer and taclSs, with
soft wood board into which to drive
them, is generally a delight to any
child old enough not to put the tacks
into his mouth. So simple are the
employments that will satisfy the
little tot that almost any mother will
find them constantly suggesting them
selves.

Hint From the Dressmaker.

A dress as we'll as coat should bs
fastened from the bottom up, not from
the top down. The constant tugging
from the shoulders soon gives. any
waist drag down look that may be
avoided if constantly pushed upward,
as it is when the lower hooks or butt
tons are fastened first OF course this
cannot be done if the dress is too
small, another name for what some
people call "good At" But If waist
be properly fitted, no matter how
closely, it can be as well fastened
from the bottom up as vice versa

Robert Elsmere.

When Mrs. Humphrey Wards most
famous book was completed, the hero
bore name which was altogether un-
satisfactory to the authoress. She had
fixed on Robert" but although she
went through long lists of names
could not get surname which pleased
her. Mrs. Ward was in London just
then, and her husband playfully sug->
gested that the fresh air about their
home at Haselemere might bring her
the needful inspiration. 'Hasele-
mere" the novelist repeated, dream
ily; "Haselemere-E Elsmere! I have
it Robert Elsmeres' And so the
novel was named.

Mr.. Coxey made the mistake of his
life when he neglected to form the num-
erous Commonweal armies into a trust
and then send apowerful lobby in broad
cloth to Washington. Instead of a re-
ception with clubs the Commonwea1
magnates would then have received the
freedom of the city and would have been
allowed to trample down the grass with
the same reck1essness with which other
trust magnates trample down the rights
of the people.-Bee.

HIGH RAILWAY SPEEDS.

HIGH RAILWAY SPEEDS
High speeds on. railways formed the
subject Of the inaugural address of NJ.
Du Bosquet, president of the French
Society of Civil Engineers. He states
that the reason speeds are not maintain
ed on the level is because the engines
are not sufficiently powerful for this.
Some experiences with the dynamometer
made with speeds from 81 to rs miles,
and of which the results have been ex-
tended to greater speeds, show that for
ton, a train reaches a speed of rs miles
on a decline of one-half of one per cent,
81 miles on the level and 81 miles at an
incline of one-half of one per cent.
To increase the average speed by a small
amount, the power of the engine must
be much greater. If 300 horse power is
sufficient to draw a train at rs miles an
hour up an incline of one-half of one
per cent, 1850 horse power will be re-
quired to draw the same train up the
grade at a speed of I25 miles per hour.
In high speeds the weight of the engine
per horse power generated is important,
as there is always a limiting speed be-
yond which the engine cannot draw it
self, let alone a train. Really high
speeds, the speaker stated. will be OBJ
tanned only by diminishing the weight,
per horse power, of the locomotive, and
by limiting the load to be hauled to a
minimum.-Railway Engineering and
Mechanics.
The pass question is peculiar phase of
.railroading. A branch train of a Nebras-
ka railroad recently departed from one of
its termini with thirty odd passengers on
board. Ten paid fares for various short
distances. Over twenty had passes for
in the main long distance rides. To be
sure this may be an isolated case. Butt
The high speed cranks are never still.
An elevated electric railroad is now pro-
posed. A speed of $50 miles per hour is
claimed. The line must be practically
straight. The center of gravity Of cars
is below the rails. The lifting power of
aeroplanes is used to overcome the
grades.
Cards are out announcing the ap-
preaching wedding of Engineer Frank
6. Westland of our city and Miss Lottie
Sanburg of Lincoln. This interesting
event will t~ranspire on the 10Th at the
residence of the brides sister in the
capital.
The Southern Pacific will build a
bridge across the Mississippi at New
Orleans. The bridge will be $500 feet
long, for double tracks, of the can't
lever type, and will cost 100000.

1t is probable that Their irrigation con-
vention which met in McCook, Nebras-
ka, will awaken a deep interest in the
subject of irrigation in that state. The
farmers, and in general all the people of
the western part of the state, are very
greatly interested in irrigation, but they
have only recently become aware of how
much it would help them in the c%ultiva-
ton of their farms.-Denver Republican.
