Draping a Mirror,

Let not her to whom nature has been
niggard of charms despair.
If she would see herself in the deceptive
mirror as others sec her with the eye, or as
nearly so as possibly, let her hasten TO a
dry goods shop and buy a quantity of soft,
pure white material, gauze If possible; If
not, swiss or india muslin will answer
very well.
BE sure and have it pure white, and after
polishing the surface Of the mirror gather
the material at the center of the top and
bring 1t down softly at either side, franz
ing the glass in folds of pure white.
When this is lone to artistic satisfaction
peep in and see what a transformation
The true tints of the complexion, the
expression of the countenance and eyes,
the correct color Of the hair will be very
accurately reflected.
This is one of the milliner's oldest Sc
crets. Many of them drapo the glasses on
opening day in the softest drapery Of pure
white. 1t is done with the view of giving
the fair patronesses the best view of them
selves possible, administering in this way
a little subtle ~fattery, thereby disposing
more easily of a greater amount of goods.
Then the white draped mirror and the lace
covered toilet table make a dainty spot IN
any girls room.-Philadelphia Press.

Spain demand an indemnity from the
United States he says that If Spain asks for
500, OO0,O 600, the government at Washing
ton Will pay, because wal with Spain would
result in American suffering to
the amount of over 800, 900, 900, and the
complication which it would bring about
with the great European nations who are
friendly to Spain would cause another loss
of 800, 900, 900.
ADDITIONAL details received at Victoria,
B. O., of the recent tidal wave that swept
over a portion of Japan, show it to have
been one of the most fearful disasters OF
modern times. The death list has been
greatly augmented since last advices and
will undoubtedly go far beyond 10000.
The distress among the survivors of the ter
rible visitation is appalling. Thousands OF
injured are dying from lack OF medical as
sistanCe and many are upon the verge OF
starvation, subsistiug on fish washed ashore
by the waves and eating them raw, having
no cooking appurtenances. The wave orig
mated not far from the Japanese coast and
appears to have visited an extent Of oyer
300 miles OF coast line.
SPAIN is canvassing Europe for allies in
case OF a possible war with the United
States. The former negotiations with France
have abruptly ceased. 1t Is supposed that
this is due to the refusal Of Russia to enter
the Franco-Spanish alliance, preferring the
friendship of the United States. 1t ia I'M
derstood that the rupture was not declared
by France, but by Spain, whose govern
ment had received from another country
more favorable offers. 1t is as yet impos-
sible to ascertain IL the offers came from
Germany or England, but the haste IN ami
tested in the direction of the re.establish.
ment of commercial relations with Germany
is significant. A German alliance would
probably not force Spain to send an army
outside of Spanish territory, as a French
alliance would in case OF a European war.
Spanish politicians consider it more likely
that the offers came from England, whose
interest ii is to prevent the Franco Russian
alliance from becoming stronger. England
has the same American interests as Spain.

Honorable Artillery Company of Boston

Woman in the East.

The degradation of women among orr
entail people has gone on until it has
reached a degree not easy to be imagined.
An old Arab proverb shows that it Is no
new thing. 1t declares, 1.-THE best son-in-
law is the grave" Mr.. Neil devotes sew
eral pages of his book on Palestine to this
subject. You cannot, he says, insult a
Moslem more than to ask after the health
of his wife.
If a woman Is so much as mentioned in
conversation, oven though she MAJ be the
speakers own wife, politeness requires one
to add the words, MAY God elevate YOU
that Is, above the contamination of such
a subject. The same expression Is used
after the mention of a dog, a donkey, a
pig or a shoe, all Of which are held vile
and unclean.
Nor is this feeling confined to the Mo
hammedans. DR.. Jessup tells how a Greek
Christian In Tripoli came applying for
help to an American physician. Said he:
"There Is "a woman here who is i'll. 1 beg
our pardon for mentioning SO vile a sub
3ect to your excellency."
"Who may it beP" inquired the doctor.
"May God elevate you, it Is my wife,"
DR.. Jessup also tells of overhearing the
following conversation between q Moham-
medan and DR.. Van Dyok:
Your excellency must be- aware that 1
have a sick man at my house. May GOO
grant you healthl He has pain in his
back, headache and he will not eat"
"Has he any fever?"

An Army Nurse.

The first trained nurse TO offer her
services to Uncle Sam at the outbreak
of the Civil War lives in Ell Cajon Val
ley, San Diego county, Cal. She is a
wideawake Scotch woman, now seventy
years old, who, prior to the war, was a
head nurse in Bellevue Hospital, New
York. While there a wounded thief
was attended by her. He stole the
DOCTORS silver probe, after it had been
used to locate a bullet in his arm. The
nurse manifested such a kindly interest
in the thief patient that he relented,
and when discharged from the hospital
returned the probe, although previous
vigorous search had failed to reveal the
missing instrument, Years afterward,
while dressing gunshot wounds on the
field of battle, the nurse was recognized
by a severely-wounded Union soldier,
whom she did not at first know. He
proved to be the eX-thief. He had re-
formed and was fighting for his country
like a man.-Boston Transcript.

A Genuine FrOntiersman.

A pension has been granted to Derrick
Updegraff, the founder of Medicine
Lodge, who is now in his ninetieth year.
Tom McNeal says the old man has
been a resident of Kansas for nearly
half a century and during the border
troubles was a follower of John Brown.
He was the original pre-emptor of a
quarter section of land near Tecumseh,
out of which grew the famous contest
suit of Jordan V. Updegraff, decided by
the supreme court of Kansas in 1860.
In the days of the border strife Derrick
Updegraff was known as the most pow
erful man, physically, in the territory.
1t was said that in his prime he could
with one hand take a chair, with a
good-sized man sitting in it., by the
rung, raise it from the floor and hold
man and chair at arms length. He
was brave as he was strong and the
man who fooled with him found that
he had walked the wrong passenger.
He was a frontiersman by instinct and
when the east halt of the state became
populous and began to put on the airs
of advanced civilization he gathered
his little mes about him and pulled out
for the front. He was the first probate
judge of Barber county and entered the
TOWNSHIP of the historic city of Medi-
cine Lodge. He built and kept the
first hotel in the village.-Kansas City
Times.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
A Strange Meeting.

In addressing an audience in Indian
apolis on the evening of October 81
last, General John B. Gordon told anew
this incident of his experience In the
battle of Gettysburg:
"As / rode over the CORY field L
found a majOr.general of the Union
army lying as if l%ifeless, with the broil-
ing sun shining upon his face. / had
seen him fall, and as l rode by | dis
mounted from my horse and gave him
water. A bullet had struck his spinal
column and had paralyzed him. | did
not suppose that he could last an hour,
and ordered a litter to carry him to the
rear. AS l stopped down beside him
he babe me take from his side pocket
some letters, which l found were from
his wife. AS his eye, strained with
suffering, rested for the last time, as
he supposed, on the beloved signature,
he said:
"' General, if you live through this
wal and meet my wife, Mrs. Francis G.
Barlow, remember to tell her that you
saw me. Tell her that you Jaw me
fall and that fell fighting at the front.
Tell her l freely gave up my life for
my country, but that my one unutter-
able grief is that l must 90 without
looking into her sweet face.' Where
is she?' | asked. Very near me- he
said. she is with General Meade's
forces And as be spoke / was touched
by a peculiar sympathy, for she who
bears with me the sweet relation of
wife shared with me the dangers and
the privations of the camp, lowering
like an angel of protection and of in
spiration to duty. l replied that if l
lived through the conflict l would
notify his wife in accordance with his
request. AT the instant the battle
ceased | sent a note to the wife, not
telling her that he was dead, as l be-
lieved, but that he was desperately
wounded and a prisoner in my hands.
l told her she could have safe escort
through my lines to see and attend her
husband. And she soon arrived.
Early next morning the battle was re-
newed, and then, in that hasty retreat,
l thought no more of the gallant
Barlow.
"The wal progressed and ended,
and, strangely enough, Barlow re-
covered. He saw in the ewspapers
that a Confederate General Gordon,
bearing my name and initials, and who
was a cousin of mine, had been killed,
and 80 he thought l was dead. Fifteen
years later l was invited one evening
TO take dinner at the house of a friend
in Washington, and was informed that
| would meet General Barlow. That
fact did not impress itself upon my
mind, for was not General Barlow
dead? Had l not left him dying in his
blood-stained bed of clover? General
Barlow had a similar reflection about
General Gordon. AS we were sitting
at the table l asked General Barlow:
Are you related to the General
Barlow who was killed at Gettysburg?'
"'I am the man. he said, and turn
ing 10 me he asked:
"'Are you related to the General
Gordon who killed me?'
"'I am the man, said. The scene
which followed beggars description.
Truth, indeed, is stranger than fiction.
But it is not strange that the friend
ship born in the midst of battle is more
sacred because of this circumstances

THE HOUSEHOLD.


Mothers, I see you with your nursery light,
Leading your babies all in white,
To their sweet rest;
Christ, the Good Shepherd. carries mine tonight,
And that is besti
I cannot help tears when I see them Irvine
Their fingers in yours, and their bright curls shine
on your warm breast;
But the Savior's is purer than yours or mine;
He can love bestl
You tremble each hour because your arms
Are weak; your heart ia wrung with alarms,
And sore oppressed;
My darlings are safe, out of reach Of harms;
And that is best.
You know over yours may hang even now
Pain and disease, whose fulfilling slow
Naught can arrest;
Mine in Gods gardens run to and fro,
And that is best.
You know that of yours the feeblest one
And dearest may live long years alone,
UIloved, unblest;
Mine are cherished of saints around Gods throne,
And that is best.
You must dread for years the crime that sears,
Dark guilt unwashed by repentant tears,
And unconfessed;
Mine entered spotless on eternal years,
Oh, how much the besti
But grief is selfish, and I cannot see
Always why I should so stricken be
More than the rest;
But ] know that as we'll as for them, for me

Foreign.

THE Spanish embassy at London has pro.
tested at the foreign Office against the al
legged shipment of arms and ammunition to
Cuba from English ports.
DISASTROUS floods have occurred on the
west coast of Japan. Three thousand
houses were destroyed at Shiga and To-
gama, and the loss of life was frightful to
contemplate.
SPEAKING in the chamber of deputies at
Madrid last Thursday, Senior Mella de.
clared that the Spanish government ought
TO be energetic in preparing for the newt
able conflict between the United States and
Spain, in which Spain would prove her vi.
rility and her greatness.
SIR JOHN BENDER, we'll known as one of
the chief promoters and organizers Of
ocean telegraphy, died last week in Lon.
don, Eng, from the effects of a second
stroke OF paralysis, he having had a similar
attack last January which compelled him
to resign his seat in parliament.
THE British troops made an attack last
week upon the Matabeles at Theba Imamba
and were repulsed. They made a second
attack the next day and were successful in
capturing the native stronghold and driving
the defenders away. The Matabele loss
was 100 killed and the British loss twenty
three killed or wounded.
THERE were 377 fresh cases of cholera re-
ported in Egypt last Wednesday and 278
deaths. OF these numbers, there were
thirty-two cases and seventeen deaths at
Wada Halfa. Among the civilians there
were twelve cases and seven deaths among
the Egyptian troops. and two cases and one
death among the British troops there.
The ignorance Of the Spanish people re-
garding the United States is colossal. A
prominent merchant of Madrid urges that
the Spanish government ought not TO allow
naturalized American citizens to remain In
Cuba. Referring to the suggestion that
