squeezed Between the Cars.

Conductor Zollinger was caught be-
tween the cars and painfully squeezed
while engaged in switching in the B. &
M. yards Wednesday. He stepped be-
tween two trains of freight cars near
where the two tracks come together
and the moving train crowded him into
the wedge shaped space and pressed
the breath out of him in short order.
His arm and shoulder were consider
ably bruised but luckily no serious in
jury resulted. DIR. Adams, the local
b. Il N. surgeon who is attending him,
says that he will have his patient back
to work in four or five days. Conduc-
tor Jay has charge of this run during
Mr.. Zollinger's disability.

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
Unusual Advantages offered to Those
willing To Serve Uncle Sam.

Unusual Advantages offered to Those
willing to Serve Uncle Sam.
The United States army is by law lin
tied to $4,000 men, exclusive Of officers.
At the date of the last roster the num-
ber of soldiers in the United States
army was 27,500-2, 100 officers and 49,
700 enlisted men. About one-half the
army, exclusive of the engineers, sig
nal service, Indian scouts, hospital serv.
ice and West Point cadets, is composed
of the infantry, 25 regiments in all
There are besides ten cavalry and five
artillery regiments. The pay Of Uncle
Sans soldiers is poor (private soldiers
get $t3 mouth), their work is hard,
consisting not only of drills, sentry
duty, marches and maneuvers, but also
while in camp of manual labor to
large extent; and the posts to which
they are sent Gre either on the extreme
western frontier line or at isolated
places in the east. Service in the
United States army in the camps near
est the Indians is attended with serl'
Gus bodily danger. In consequence OF
he hardness and monotony of the Amer
lean soldiers life, the small rations and
the poor pay, desertions are frequent
and the depleted ranks of Uncle Sam's
small army have, from time to time,
TO be filled by new enlistments, and it
Is to secure these that the recruiting
offices are maintained.
Special inducements have to be Of
fered to the intending soldiers. In
front of every recruiting Office is pic
ture representing the future soldier In
uniform, while over the door CT the
office the American flag floats continu-
ously in the breeze. Among the induce
ments held out by the United States
government tn volunteers for the regu-
lar army are free hospital service while
sick, public burial in the event of death
during the time of enlistment, the main.
tenance of soldiers savings bank pay
ing four per cent. interest, free use OF
the books and newspapers of the camps
or forts, free transportation from the
place OF service to the point OF enlist
ment at the conclusion Of the period OF
service, which is five years, and pen
sion to any soldier who serves consecu'
lively for 25 years, or Is wounded in
battle in support Of the government
Notwithstanding these alluring offers
continuously held out by the war de.
partment to nble-bodied male citizens
between the ages Of 81 and 30, enlist
ments are few in number, and the fact
is not to be disguised by any false spirit
of patriotism that many Of the soldiers
who enlist do 50 under what may be
called a misunderstanding, joining the
United States army in time Of difficulty
or danger, real or fancied, and leaving
the service afterward, in good many
cases, by desertion. An enlisted soldier
can buy his own discharge from the
army for Sion. Y. Sun.

THE BLOUSE WAIST.
In Spite of Determined Opposition IL Is
as Popular as Ever.


Although writer's, importers and
nodistes have condemned the blouse
waist, it continues to thrive and APP
parently gain by its condemnation. 1t
certainly has not disappeared, for at
recent high class dress exhibits it was
one Of the decided features of the ele'
CANT and wonderful ;ssplay. Fitted
and draped blouses in silk, satin, chif-
fon, lace, Indian muslin, velvet and
brocade were ,ariously shown. The
blouse, once chiefly recommended for
its economy, is now costly confection.
Once it was merely and strictly used
for neglige costumes, now it appears at
the most fashionable evening functions,
worn by the most fastidious, and made
OF the most expensive textiles; and
granted that It's vogue in this domain
will be short and that the blouse has
really become too general to be elected
for by the very particular ones OF so
ciety, still Its trimness, usefulness,
freshness and adaptability will prevent
it from going out of vogue, or at least
out of very general use. Ultrafashion-
able women may possibly abandon it
after this summer, but for cool, neat
wear under the jacket of travelling
costume, for tennis, boating, golfing,
cycling and indeed all simple uses,
what can take its place? ?-N. Y. Post.

ing to the left side; in like manner paste
to the inner side of one of the satin
covered pieces other ribbons so slanted
as to cross each other, extending TO the
right side.
Now lay the reverse pieces on each,
turning under the ribbons at the edges,
pasting the parts together, and when
complete you will find you have set
of hinges which will work either way
like a swinging door, and the case will
open from either side. In other words,
the ribbons should be attached to each
cover only at the places in the illustra-
tion indicated by the cross (X).
In one side slip piece of fine, white
flannel, pinhed at the edges, for needles,
and under the crossed ribbons on the
other put one of the varl-colored silk or
thread glove-menders so much in vogue.
If neatly executed this will make an
extremely dainty gift, and the little pc
cuiarity about the hinges will puzzcl
the uninitiated and enhance the value
of the trihe considerably.-Chicago Rec

When Properly Prepared 1t Is a Healthy

Whcn Properly prepared AZ Is ucaithy
Article OF Food.
Women have always been more or
less willing to show their skill in max
ing cake and fancy desserts, but it Is
only recently that they have appreci-
uted the value of good cookery. The
simple, everyday things are usually
considered of the least Importance, and
entirely neglected. Even the cook
books give little, and some no informa-
ton, about the things everybody should
know. Among these is cornmeal. When
Il is properly prepared II is healthy
article of food, But rs it is often cooked
1t is indlgestible and unfit for even n
strong stomach. The usual way of
making cornmcal mush, for instance
is to stir the meal, without measuring
it, into boiling water until II Is thick,
and when it has cooked five or ten MIN
utes 1t is done. BY this process 1t Is
hard and raw, and wholly unfit to eat,
1t is surprising how much it is improved
by little extra cooking, and 1t can be
made delicacy with very little trouble.
Take one quart of water, add one
teaspoon of salt. When 1t boils stir lii
slowly one cup of yellow cornmeal. Let
1t boil for ten minutes, then set it back
on the stove, where it will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour, stirring
occasionally. Pour into mold and
let stand over night. In the morning
1t will be firm enough to slice well, and
when it is dipped in grated bread
crumbs and quickly fried it will be a
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating 1t the old
fashioned way.
Corn-bread, or "Johnny cake" as II
is often called is greatly improved by
the following directions:
Put the milk that the recipe calls for
on the stove, and wien it is hot stir in
the cornmeal and let it cook for ten OF
Is minutes. An easy way to prevent II
from burning is to set the dish on ar
asbestos pad. This extra cooking re.
moves the raw taste of the meal, and
greatly improves the flavor of the
bread, besides making it entirely di'
gestible.-Chicago Tribune.

PHILADELPHIA NEAR NEW YORK.

of tho Two Cities Union.
II would be interesting, if it were
possible, to make n census, classified as
to occupations, OF the people, part of
whose daily life is a journey to and fro
between New York and Philadelphia.
Two lines of railroads, each running
many swift trains, have brought the
two cities into comparatively easy COM
rlunication. Many of these trains have
cut their time down to two hours, so
that Philadelphia is not much farther
from New York than is Harlem from
the Battery. Wall street and the Drexel
building, at Fifth and Chestnut streets
are connected during all the hours Of
business day by II network of wires.
Telephone bells are constantly ringing,
and telegraph instruments are ever
clicking. But these intimate electric
connections do not prevent the necea-
sity of an enormous passenger traffic
each way between the two cities.
Both night and morning the trains
that rush past each other are heavily
crowded, and in almost every case these
trains are largely made up of parlor
cars, showing that their patrons ato
prosperous business men, not few Uf
them with great capital at stake In
these frequent intermunicipal jour
neys. The extension of the business in
terests of New York over into Long
Island and New Jersey finds fitting
further expansion in this shuttlc-lil1e
movement to and from Philadelphia.
One effect of this is seen in the respect
full tone that the commercial and social
forces of New York have late assumed
toward Philadelphia. 1t is no longer
thought joke to speak of Philadelphia
us "slow' or SLEEPY" or "dead' or
swell laid out" All these quips have
had their day. Philadelphia is as prac-
ticaily a part of New York as the an
initiation Of time and distance has
been able to make it, and the future
promises still more instant communica-
ton and yet swifter transportation

The Burning of Moscow.

When the Russians evacuated Mos

dino, the ear ordered the city to be
fired, and a large number Of convicts
were released from the jails on con.
dition that they would do the work OF
setting fire to the houses. 1t was well
done; the entire city was reduced to
ruins on September IA and the eight
following days, and the destruction OF
property is estimated to have exceeded

born she became desirous that every adj
vantage should be placed before him,
that he might attain to wealth and
honor. She convinced Mr.. Crawford, in
thousand nameless ways, that the boy
would need most of the property for
business, to marry well, and to carry
down the family name. The girls would
doubtless marry and be well provided
for by their husbands. She talked with
Mr.. Crawford about the uncertainty OF
life, and, with tact, urged that other
things besides a spiritual preparation
for death were necessary. A man should
think of the younger members of his
family, who would be left comparative.

"You never can tell what folks will

"Youth and tact are great forces in the
