ed against direct current of air, the
wind-curtain will be valuable,
About foot above the window-stool,
on both edges of the castings, insert
diagonally pair of two-inch screw
hooks. Being on the outside edges of
the castings, they do not mar the wood,
and are unnoticed during the day.
Prepare light curtain pole, say an
inch in diameter, and insert screw
eyes to correspond with the hooks.
This pole may be regular curtain
pole with brass knobs, or a bamboo
pole, or a humble broomstick-painted,
however, we will hope.
Hang upon this pole, either by rings
or by broad hem through which the
pole is thrust, short curtain of burlap,
as indicated by the dotted line in the
cut. This coarse cloth is suggested be-
cause of its very opepness; while break
ing the force of the wind, it admits
much of it in gentle way. This
may be trimmed tastily with half-inch
hempen rope, or wis, cat stitching.
To prevent the curtain from tapping
in the wind, sew 20 it pair of small
rings, which can be loosely attached to
another pair of small hooks screwed on
the under side of the window-stool at
its eXtremities.
The chief admission Of air will not be
through the interstices Of the coarse
burlap, but above and around it, from
the three or four-inch space between it
and the sash. A shawl or afghan may
be thrown over the pole instead of
regularly hung curtain, and will an
swer the purpose equally we'll In
the morning the pole is lifted from its
inconspicuous hooks, and stored away
in the closet out of sight.
If it is preferred to have the window
opened at the top, the same contrivance
may be used-the window-shade being
run up out of the way, and thus pre-
served from tapping or from damage
by the rain.-Harriet Benton, in

more disposed to regard comfort and
freedom of action of the limbs.
There is no good reason indeed why
the female riders should not wear the
abbreviated skirt, all classes of them.
The Chippendale class can easily
enough place themselves upon the same
footing with their more favored sisters
by the skillful use of padding. Sym
metry of all sorts can now be procured
at the shops. If it be allowable for
less favored sister to conceal the raw
ages of time by the appliances of art
and to compensate for the cruel indif-
ference of nature by the skill of the
chemists and cunning artificers, if she
can go to the studios where female
beauty is compounded for sale and pur-
chase hair, eyebrows, complexion,
cheeks, neck, bust, arms and fingers,
which vie with the highest efforts OF
nature, why should she not purchase
also the requisites of symmetry for the
motive power of the treadles and thus
enjoy all the pleasure of the most
favored class? 1t may be averred that
she is flying figure of deceit, impos-
ing upon the public as she speeds along
the park or the boulevard, but that is
matter between herself and her con-
science. and if the spectator is none the
wiser, as most certainly he will not be,
the conscience will And it difficult to
rise superior to innocent vanity.
Therefore there Is no reason why the
entire world of female cyclers, young
and old, shapely and unshapely, lean
and fat, handsome and ugly, should
not adopt the abbreviated skirt and
have as good time as the male pa
irons of the bike" who are grossly in
different as to their looks. The COM
ing woman In her competition with
man will surrender many of her pre-
negatives, but it may be assumed she
will never abandon her pride in her
natural or artificial charms, as the case
may be. She will never be content to
make as ridiculous an appearance as
most men do on the bicycle, and she
never should, for it is every woman's
duty to be as beautiful as nature or
money will allow, whether on or off
| the flying wheel. In word, let wora-
en- dress as they please for this health

A BRAVE WOMAN SOLDIER.

Sarah seclyo Drawing II Pension orService
In the Second Michigan Infantry.
Sarah f. L. Seelye enlisted about
May 25, 1861, at Flint, Mich, in Com
pany f, Second Michigan infantry, As,d
was mustered into the service by Lieut..
Col. j. X. Smith, L. S. A. At first ,he
enlieted for three months and after
ward for three years or during the
war. She shared all the trials and
privations which befell her regiment,
participated in the first battle of Bull
Run, followed Mcclellan through the
peninsular campaign and was never
absent from duty while wearing the
blue. Her captain said years after the
war that she was driven from home by
stepmother when only sixteen years
old and that she adopted male attire
and was a publishing house canvasser.
He also says that she made tour of
Canada, reaching Flint, Mich, in time
to enlist. Her sex was never suspect
ed, and her desertion was the topic of
every campfire, for Franklin was a
great favorite. This desertion was
never satisfactorily accounted for. She
claims she was constrained to dress as
a man and became soldier through
strong impulse which she could not
resist.
There is only one other authentic
case besides that of Sarah Seelye of q
woman being borne on the rolls of the
war department as having served as
soldier during the war, and that was a
woman who enlisted in the Fifty-second
Ohio ,,nIar NJ NfC 81
man. She served, however, only six.
teen weeks, when her sex was discov-
cred.
About twelve years ago Frank
Thompson-Sarah E. E. Seelye-sur-
prised his comrades in arms and
friends in peace, the veteran survivors
of the gallant old Second infantry, on
the occasion of their reunion with
kind letter and his photograph. The
letter was dated Fort Scott, Kan, and
the writer stated that he was all right
in spirit, but his health was giving
away and that he was then the mother
of four healthy children
AT reunion of the survivors of the
old Second infantry, held in the cap
itol at Lansing some time ago, reso-
luton was unanimously adopted re-
questing the war department to strike
the name of Frank Thompson, borne
on the muster rolls of the regiment as
deserter, and reinstate Sarah L. E.
Seelye as veteran soldier of the Sec
ond Michigan infantry. After an in
vestigation this request was complied
with by the war department and by
special act of congress she was granted
pension, the only woman on the rolls
drawing pension as a soldier in the
rebellion. t'. .'s Ee 1s
Frank Thompson not only succeeded
in hiding his sex from his comrades in
the company, but Gen. Fighting

WOMAN AND HOME.
BICYCLING COSTUMES.
An Entertaining and Important Subject
Instructiveiy Dlscusaed.

An Entertaining and Important .Subiact
Instructiveiy Discussed.
The interesting discussion which is
going on in the newspapers as to the
most convenient and becoming style of
bicycle costume for adult female ~iders,
during the progress of the fad, Illus
trates peculiar weakness of the sex,
or to put it more correctly, psrdona-
BILE vanity. Time was when there
would have been no discussion of this
kind. In the old days girl or woman
found riding n bicycle, if bicycles had
been known in those days, whether in
a full or abbreviated skirt, would have
met with dire punishment at the hands
of the elders, while short skirt would
have provoked as stern an outburst of
anger as did the display of limbs before
that redoubtable old KniclSerbocker
governor of New Amsterdam. But the
world has progressed since those days
and the display of those members with
which, according to the poet, the devil
baiteth his hook, no longer occasions
surprise, unless it happens that they
are unshapely.
Hence the discussion of this problem
has, according to the Chicago Tribune,
taken exactly the shape which might
have been anticipated. 1t will be OBJ
served that all the girls, married wom-
en- and widows who have symmetrical
lower limbs are inclined to favor the
short skirt which will not obscure that
symmetry. On the other hand, all
those who have spindling or the Chip
pendale style of combinations are firmly
set upon having the long skirts. Be
tween these two classes there is still
another which is neutral as to SYM
metry. 1t is conscious that it has no
occasion for vanity and at the same
time it knows it is not subject for
ridicule. This class is in profound
doubt about the skirt and how far it
should come down. Again it is notice
able that the girls are more particular
about these aspects of the case than
the married or older women. The
former are actuated by the aforemen-
toned vanity, which is entirely par
donable, which is condoned by every
poet from Shakespeare to Swinburne,
and which is limited at even by sanity

woman's Ideas OF Figures and Measure-
ments Usually Unreliable.
However accurate in many things the
average woman may be, her idea of
figAres and measurements are pretty
sure to be vague and unreliable, says
the New York Evening Sun. She has,
seemingly, no compunction whatever
about declaring a thing to be two
yarda long when she means two feet. A
woman once came home from yachts
ing trip and described 30-foot mast
as measuring 800 feet, and all with such
calm assurance that not one of her ass
founded listeners dared contradict her.
Mr.. Howells, who knows something of
feminine nature, has not failed to touch
upon this frailty. "Why, Agnes, that's

who triumphantly announced that

statistics, couldn't stand that. He

LARGEST CIRCULATION.
A Currency System That VIII supply the
Demand.

Demand.
Silver monometallists don't seem to
be aware of the fact that countries
whose currency is on a silver basis
have small per capita circulation in
comparison with the circulation of
those using both gold and silver.
The position of France is similar to
our own, except that she keeps rela-
lively more gold on hand than the
United States. France leads all ma
tions in her per capita circulation. Her
currency averges S36. 70 to the inhabit-
ant The gold portion is S2l.54; silver,
$12. 50, and paper, $23l.
Belgium and the United States have
about the same per capita circulation.
The former consists of Ss.S7 in gold,
So. s5 in silver and $500 in paper, a
total of $25.9 % per inhabitant. That of
the United States amounts to $25.07-
50. 90 in gold, 50. Os in silver and $500 in
paper.
The per capita circulation of either
of these countries is considerably
larger than that of any on an exclus-
lively gold or an exclusively silver
basis. England's circulating medium
averages $19.9s per head. Russia is
generally classed as silver country,
but she is boarding gold now with
view of going to the other extreme.
She has IA per capita circulation of
So. 81, only 3s cents of it in silver, The
rest is in gold-$3 3.67-and paper. The
latter represents silver rubles, but is at
present irredeemable.
The circulating medium of Mexico,
the most progressive and prosperous of
the silver countries, is $4.71, OF this
amount 81. 13 is in silver, leaving only
So cents for both gold and paper circu-
lation. India, which was on a silver
basis until year or two ago, has only
So. 38 to the inhabitant, and China, an
other silver country, has still less
only $9.02.
The conclusion to be drawn from
these facts is that a currency system
that will keep both gold and silver in
circulation will give larger per capita
circulation than any other.-St. Louis
Republic.

A Massacre of Twenty Confederate oniccrs
bY Indiana In Knnsns,

A Massacre of Twenty Confederate Omccrs
by Indians in Kansas.
The recent reunion of ex-confeder-
ates in Texas adopted a resolution
which calls to mind bit of the unwrit-
ten history of Kansas. The resolution
in question suggested to ex-confeder-
ntes everywhere that the graves of
those who had fallen in the cause of
che south be sought out and marked
with monuments, after the manner of
the union dead. over which annual
ceremonies should I've held in commem-
grafton of their services. There is a
spot in Kansas which contains all that
is mortal of twenty ex-confederate Of
ficers. Their death was tragic in the
extreme, accompanied, as it was, by all
the horrors and barbarities of Indian
warfare.
Early in the conflict between the
north and south, confederates were
dominant in the Indian territory, and
well-nigh succeeded in suppressing
every spark of loyalty among the In
dians there aud in Kansas along the
southern border Several bands of the
Usage tribe, however, remained loyal.
They were hunted out by the rangers
from Texas and the guerrillas from
Arkansas, and finally sought refuge
within union territory. On the march
to the north many of them travelled on
foot distance of three hundred miles;
q great number froze to death on the

Best Use for Silver.

ports of the United States for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1895, S4s,@@6,6l2
worth of silver was sent abroad,
against only S9,51s, ,92s imported. Here
is almost $40, 200, 900 to the credit of the
United States on account of silver as a
commodity. 1t more than offsets the
excess of $40, 146,734 on gold imports.
