Take Mothers Advice.

Deliver US from the smart young miss
who considers her knowledge Of life, its
ways and It's wickedness far ahead of
anything that her mother can tell her,
SAYS the Philadelphia Times; and who
with a little evaporation, all-wise look,
shrugs her shoulder and declares that
"Mother has such old fashioned IDEAS"
Every mother living can undoubtedly
look back upon some period of her ex-
istencc when she felt that she knew it
all. This time Is generally from four
teen to eighteen, and il she manages to
weather that period with no greater
mishaps Detailing her than a great blow
to her sell-esteem she is doing well, for
experience many times is bought at
much higher price, and the girl realizes
when too late that though mothers
advice was old-fashioned ii was sound
and based on knowledge of the world,
the ways Of which do not materially
change from generation to generation.
Girls, listen to your mothers; they are
your " iscst teachers, your best counsel
ors. Even though you have received q
college education, and the dear one who
in all probability has denied herself to
give il TO you has never gone beyond
the third reader, you can rest assured
that it is not book learning that will

that she can warn you from in tender
loving fashion that YOU would do we'll
to heed.
The girl who feels herself superior to
her mother in education and who shows
her contempt for the lack, is figure we
are happy to say that is not met with
often, yet it does exist, and whenever
we see a self-compIacent Young woman
openly correcting her mother we feel
like giving her good shaking and tell
ing her that the plainspoken, INGRAM
NAUTICAL and possibly unrcfncd woman
who has never had her advantages is
III reality wiser than she Will ever be,
and that to impress outsiders little
more consideration is necessary.
No matter how your mothers may
speak, their hearts are in the right
place, If their attire is oId-iashioned
and their manners not up to the frilIs
Of the nineteenth century standard,
they have had experience of more value
than all the schooling and extra
accomplishments that you may think of
such shining excellence. Heed your
mothers-you will never regret it

HAPOLEON's USE OF ARTILLERY.
How He Deceived tho Enemy by the
Number CT Ills Field Pieces.

I'm all the recent discussion Of Ma
poleon and his methods" sad 4 gentle
man who helped TO settle the late I'M
pleasantneSs and is still deeply inter
ested in military science, Il have not
seen attention called to 4 feature of
his style of fighting. which undoubted-
~ had much to do with his wonderful
success. 1t WAS an essential part OF
, his great art of being the strongest,
TO use his own happy phrase. to give
the enemy. wherever possible. m eN-
aggcratcd idea Of his forces. This is
part Of the secret of his victories over
superior numbers. which military tao
ticians love to write about.
He placed great reliance upon ths
artillery arm u the service, not only
for breaking an army into sections, but
for dealing with each section at a
time. He preferred comparatively
light. smooth bore field pieces to the
heavier guns which created more
havoc when once in position, but We're
hard to move about. The execution
Of his lighning-likc mancuveTs re
Quired that his guns should be moved
lapidly.
In cqUippirg m army there is
certain fixed proportion preserved be-
tween the number of men and the
number of cannon in each division, so
that If YOU know how many guns an
enemy is training on you. You can
usually form Il fairly accurate idea Of
the number OF men he has. Napoleon
took advantage of this rule by vio-
lating ii. That is to say. the number
Of his cannon as out OF all proportion
to the number Of his men. When he
had succeeded in separating the forces
of the enemy into, SAY. three divisions,
either by sheer hard lighting or by
strategic movements he would open
up with his cannon at close range on
the first division. The opposing com
mander, judging from the number of
pieces, would suppose he had $4,000
men, when in reality he had 10000.
and rush Il courier as quickly as he
could send him to the next division
with the news The commander OF
the second division would send It on
TO the third, probably adding few
figures Of his own, 50 that Napoleons
fighting resources We're magntticd out
OF al proportions. In this way he FREE
Quently had the other sections half
whipped before he got around to them.
From his use of these smooth bore
field pieces they came to be known rs
Napoleons. They were employed cx-
tenSively during the civil war"

A very remarkable thing happened yes
terday. Senator Stewart spoke for fifteen
minutes without mentioning tine crime
of '7S"
The persistency with which Mr.. Stew
art harps upon this topic has led the cor
respondents in the press gallery to wager
with each other as to the number Of min
utes which will elapse before "the crime
of 49, bobs to the surface when the Ne
vada senator is making speech. Yester-
day Mr.. Stewart followed Senator Cor
man.
''Fll bet you he mentions the crime Of
'73 within fifteen minutes" said one news
paper man to the other.
The bet was eagerly taken and both men
waited. Five minutes passed, ten minutes
went by. twelve minutes, and at last iif.
teen minutes. and still the crime of 'I3
was unmentioned. The bet was lost.
At sixteen and a half minutes the famii-
lar words dropped from Senator Stewards
lips. He was minute and a half late.
