WOMAN AND HOME.
BRAVE MOTHER IBRAH,M.
a French Woman Soldier who Has Been
In Many Battles.

a French Woman Soldier Who Has Been
In Many Battles.
A woman 73 years of age is an active
and useful me mber of the French army.
She has been wounded many times, seri-
ously in many cases, but appears to
have many years of activity still before
her.
Her last adventure was to fall off her
bicycle, which she had Just learned to
ride, and open an old wound. She has
already recovered from that little acci-
dent.
Mother Ibrahim, as this remarkable
old person is called, is the cantiniere of
the Second zouaves. She has followed
her regiment all over the world, sharing
all its perils and hardships. She ex-
posed herself to fire as cheerfully as the
bravest soldier in the regiment.
The cantinieres of the French army
are famous in song and story, and their
services are often very valuable. They
carry water and other kinds of drinks
and refreshments, and many a wounded
soldier has owed his life to their aid.
1t is peculiarly interesting to call at
tention to this old woman just now, be-
cause many people are under the i'm
preston that women have only begun to
do extraordinary things within the past
few years. The venerable cantiniere
was hard at work, tramping round the
world and taking her part in battles,
years and years before the present craze
about women's achievements was heard
of. 1t will be found on examination
that in all ages some women have been
in the habit of doing strange things.
Mother Ibrahim was born in Egypt,
the daughter of soldier of the great
Napoleon. She married non-commis
stoned officer of Turcos, who is now
dead.
In appearance she is small, upright
and wrinkled. Her eyes are black and
lively, her hair is white, but thick. Her
whole bearing is military and alert.
Her usual uniform includes a zouave
turban and very loose zouave trousers.
She was therefore a pioneer of the
bloomer movement, although no one
thoughtofher as great dress reformer.
She also wears the red ribbon of the
cross of the Legion of Honor, the mill
tary medal and the medals of the
Crimea, Italy and Tunis, all of which
have been conferred upon her.
She has so many wounds that she can
hardly count them. Nine she thinks

TASTE IN JEWELRY.
Glistening Gems Should Not Be Worn
Indiscriminately by Women.

Glistening Gems Should Not BE Worn
Indiscriminately by Women.
Rubies should be worn en- masse to
be effective. Strong-featured women
may affect them, but it is better to have
bushel of garnets than one ruby. Very
delicate women who are dark should
wear moonstones, with few small di-
amonds; if blonde, straw-colored to-
paz. Hammered gold is becoming to
energetic women. Serious, iron-gray
women should wear ornaments OF
blackened silver.
The sapphire which tones best with
blue eyes Sand black hair is the star
sapphire, 5or astoria" 1t is found of
immenseA Size. Its sister, the star-ruby,
has a gray-violet gleam. These beau
tiful stones shine, with morning star
of light, like the dull radiance of cats
eyes. The orientals love them, and say
they flash without giving pain. Both
these gems are effective for stones cut
en- cabochon.
Emeralds are nearly always mounted
badly; they should be the climax to
many other tones of green. The enam-
els of India show them in the best
taste, and they can be associated with
jade, chrysoprase, Alexandrite, beryl
and aquamarine. The opal has re-
turned to favor, and is becoming to
every style. The turquoise mounts
wonderfully with the peacock-blre
Australian opal The opal, with its
mixture of green, red and milky white,
is not only beautiful, but accords with
the chameleon idea of three colors COM
bined, which runs riot in dress mate
rials.
A woman who wishes to appear of
classic culture should wear ornaments
of Castellani gold. The princess of
Wales has wonderful diadem in this
work of seed pearls and woven gold.
The most distinguished jewel is the
pear-shaped pearl; the most patrician,
a parure, is of violet-tinted pearls

Stain and Polish for Floors.

OF all stains and polishes to use for
floors the cheapest and most durable
stain is permanganate of potash. Pour a
quart of boiling water on half an ounce
of permanganate of potash crystals.
Apply this hot to the boards. 1t will
look red at first, but soon becomes a
good brown. See that the boards are
perfectly clean and dry, then with a
large painters brush apply the stain.
When this is dry give n second coating
if necessary. Wash the brush in soft
soap and soda, using plenty of warm
water, dry it and then give the boards
a coat of linseed oil, mixed with good
drying medium. When the oil has dried
in begin polishing with the usual bees
wax and turpentine. Two or three
rubbings with this will be necessary be-
fore q good surface is obtained.

THE BOY PATRIOTS.
They Were Late Corners But Should Not
Be Forgotten.

Don't forget the late comers."
He was member of a regiment that
went out in 1864 and called attention to
the services and losses of the Thirty
sixth Wisconsin, which reached
Spottsylvania for its first experience
under lire just after Grant had said:
''We will fight it out on this line if it
takes all summer"
saw the large, newly uniformed reg
imcnt with its ample knapsacks as it
marched up to the line and took its
place for business. Its first colonel,
Frank A. Haskell, had been our adju-
tant and was made adjutant general of
the Iron brigade when Gibbon took
command. He followed Gibbon to his
division and was Mt Gettysburg. 1t will
be remembered that Hancock, COM
mander of the Second corps, was badly
wounded at Gettysburg. Gibbon took
command of the corps and was also Sc
riously wounded, and right in the midst
of one of the most important battles of
the war Frank A. Haskell, a captain, for
short time bravely and brilliantly per-
formed the duties of major general
commanding an army corps. 1t is the
only instance ON record where captain
commanded 10000 or $4,000 men in bat
tie
The following winter Gov. Lewis gave
him colonel's commission and author
lied him to recruit and organize the
Thirty-siNth Wisconsin.
Yes, he was a martinet-a soldier
from the foundation up-and had to be
known before he could be liked. The
farm and schoolboys, woodsmen, clerks.
railroad boys, printers, teachers and
preachers of the Thirty-sixth Wisconsin
did not like him. He was rigid. He
started in to make regulars of them, as
, he had done with the Sixth Wisconsin
three years before. They were volun-
teers; they didn't want to be converted
into regulars. They kicked and
thrashed, but the harder they kicked
and thrashe1 the more thorough was
Haakell's discipline.
/ Gen. Gibbon called him an ideal SOL
dicr; so did Hancock; 80 did pretty
nearly everyone who thoroughly under
stood him, bnt he was killed before the
| Thirty-sixth came to thoroughly un-
derstand him; killed Mt Cold Harbor at
/ the head of brigade, on the eve of his
appointment as brigadier general.

CUT OFF MY ARM IF YOU MUST.

70 me in the course of little chat,
mot only in time of peace, but on the
battlefield, for on his promptness and
skill depends the fate of many poor fell
lows mangled by shot and shell. Iwell
remember the first battle / witnessed
and the first operation l performed. l
do not hesitate to say that l felt a lit
tie diffident, nor do hesitate to say that
the cold chills ran up and down my back
when the mimic balls whistled close to
where the field hospital was estab-
lished. This was at the battle of the
first Bull Run, when the union forces
had over 400 killed and more than 1000
wounded. There was not much for me
to do during the forenoon, and 1 did not
have a case more serious than slight
gunshot wounds until after three p. m.,
when a number of men mangled by
shots were brought in, and and my as
sistantS were soon engaged in the hu-
name task of trying to save the lives of
the brave fellows. One soldier in par
ticular l remember, for he was my first
patient. He was perfect specimen of
manhood, broad-chested, muscular and
well-developed. A shell mad struck him
OH the right arm. just below the elbow,
shattering the bones and necessitat-
ing amputation. He was laid on the
bare earth-we had no operating table
and sponge saturated with ether
placed at his nostrils; but he objected
very energetically: No, DOCTOR he said,
4 won't be made insensible. Cut off my
arm, if you must, but want to see you
do it, He had his way, and during the
operation he never uttered murmur,
or scarcely moved muscle. When all
was over he coolly thanked me and
said he would go to the front again with
the left arm, if he recovered, if the
government needed dhim.'-Detrott Free

The old Soldier was a woman.

A story comes from Butler county
that while terrific storm was raging
Otto Schaffer, a hermit farmer, who
had lived there many years, took shell
ter in his cabin and was Offering up
prayer for protection when bolt of
lightning demolished the house and
killed Schaffer. Neighbors found the
dead body on the floor and summoned
the coroSer. This official prepared the
body for burial, and in doing so made
the discovery that has been the talk of
the county. He says that Schaffer was
woman. The deceased was an cx-sols
dier and participated in many of the
battles of the war. Despite this dis
covery the grand army veterans turned
out and gave Schaffer a soldiers burial.
AS the comrades fired last salute over
the grave into which the coffin had
been lowered, it was found that gun
was loaded with ball as well as powder,
and the shot killed dove, which was
flying over. The dove fluttered and fell
on the coffin dead. Schaffer leaves con-
siderable property, but no one in the
county knows of relatives of the de-
ceased.-St. Louis Republic.

Frank Haskell ia one of the soldiers

Frank Haskell is one OF the soldiers
for whom shall always mourn. Like
Gen. Edward S. Bragg, he was compe-
ten5 to command q regiment as well as y
company; brigade as well as regi-
ment; division as we'll as brigade, an
army corps or an army. He was brave.
He inspired courage in those who fol-
lowed him. He was quick to see, not a
little spot in the line, but every spot all
along the line of the regiment, brigade,
division or corps. That is what made
Grant Sherman, Sheridan, Warren.
Sedgwick, Bragg and others so success
full as commanders.
But did not start to talk about this
ideal soldier more than incidentally, but
about his regiment composed of late
eomers. Within a few days after it left
Camp Randall, at Madison, it was part
of Grants great army that had taken
the contract to pound the flower of the
southern army, commanded by it's
chieftain, the idolized Lee, into subiec-
ton. From the day it Joined until
Appomattox that regiment was not out
of hearing of musketry, and it was in
a score of great battles, including
Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Har-
Dor and a series of conflicts at Peters,
burg, Deep Bottom, Newmarket,
Ream's Station, Hatcher's Run and
those of the closing campaign. Seventy
nine of it's members were killed in bat
tie, At died from wounds, and los died
from disease. Though they were late
comers there were dozen regiments or
so in the state that went out early
whose combined loss in killed AMI
wounded was not as great as this late
comer's with less than year of service.
Who wonders that member of such a
| regiment, with such record, should
say: do not forget the late comers."
In this regiment there were hun
dreds of boys who had wept as children
in 1861 because they were not large
enough to be received by the first regi-
ments that left the state. More patriotic,
brave and worthy soldiers were not
| found on either side than such late
comers as these. They were late comcrs
| because they were obliged to be late
corners. They were children in 1861,
and only boys in 1864. God bless all such
late corners.
No other regiment from the state had
so many commanders shot in battle.
| Frank a. Haskell was killed instantly.

A Bright-Eyed Flower Roy.

A London paper says that some time
ago Princess Maud went shopping
strictly incog. While she was walking
along. the street she was accosted by a
little street Arab who was the happy
possessor of pair of large, pathetic
brown eyes and tangled crop of curly
brown hair. He was busily engaged in
the absorbing task of earning his living
(and, perhaps, some one else's as welD
by retailing fresh spring flowers, pen
ny and tuppence bunch" The princess
stopped by Lin, and, while choosing
some flowers, she was a little startled
by the lad saying, in an excited and
familiar whisper; "It's all right, miss,
1 knows yer" The princess smilingly
shook her head in denial. "Yes,
do knows yer" (more emphatically).
"Yes, Princess Maud, twigged yer di-
dectly."-Detroit Free Press.
