HIS MILITARY TERMS.

Not Strictly in Accordance with Army Reg
ulations, But Effective.
"A war story L saw recently" said an
eX-volunteer colonel, reminds me of
one that came under my notice. 1t hap
pened down on one of those low-banked
rivers that come down to the sea along
the coast of South Carolina. A con-
federate captain, unslilled in military
matters, but enthusiastic in his de-
sire to wipe the entire north off the
map, had about 100 men down on the
shore or beach watching a gunboat
lying out in the stream. Back of his
force was the sedge, and beyond that
again was the brush, which scarcely
ever in that locality ever reaches the
dignity of timber.
HE had rot been in plain view on
the beach very long till the gunbcat
was onto him, and pretty soon a shell
came whizzing along his way. His
men yelled and fired musketry volley
in return in derision. Then another
shell came, for the gunboat people
didn't know what was behind the force
on the shore, and several more shells
followed, till it got so hot the captain
couldn't stand it. He didn't know
just what kind of command to give TO
get out of range, and it was impera-
tive to get out, so he roared:
"'Unbeach and sedge.' This wasn't
in any book of tactics, but it served
it's purpose with the nondescript force
the nondescript officer had, and the
men broke for the sedge. The shells
followed them there in few minutes,
and the officer found it necessary to
move again, and this time he sang out:
"'Unsedge and brush This COM
mand was obeyed with promptness,
and the men took to the brush, where
the shells soon made it hot for them
again. just what to do was not very
clear to the officer, but his NapoleoDic
genius came to his rescue, and getting
himself ready for prompt action he
shouted:
"'Unbrush and squander.' Then the
entire force 'squandered,' and a shell
couldn't have found one of them in q
week with a search warrant" Wash.

CORRECT STATIONERY.
Suggestions That Will Be Appreciated by
Letter Writers.


Striking novelties in writing paper
are plaided, blocked and brocaded in
elaborate and not-to-bc-commended
fashion. Pale tints are also popular
delicate blue, pink and cream. Pale
gray, lettered with black or silver, is
used for second mourning. Mono
grams grow smaller; they are inclosed
in ring not larger than a ten-cent
piece, and frequently backed with
green or blue enamel. These are most
expensive designs. Long, narrow en-
vclopes are superseding the large
square ones for wedding and other invi-
tations, with, of course, the sheet to
correspond.
To seal q letter properly, one should
have an alcohol lamp, or roll of the
wax taper sold for the purpose, and still
air in the room. With the seal and en-
velope before you, turn one end of the
stick of wax rapidly over the flame,
not near enough to ignite it, until it is
creamy and ready to drop, then deftly
rub it round and round over the point
OF the envelope flap until enough is de-
posted, when the dab of wax may be
held a moment Immediately over the
fame. Then firmly press the seal into
ii. If drop of the hot wax is first
placed under the point of the flap, the
seal will be less likely to break. Awell
cutseal willnever stick, and practice will
insure a firm impression, with the wax
nodded neatly and evenly around the
seal. In all this, pray be careful! Blaz-
I'M: wax in some hands is dangerous.

most dainty silver lamp, which is to
take the place of the tiny silver candle-

graceful that the chances are every

colonial, but the shape strongly resem-
bles the small Roman lamps. AS yet

will not be long before it will be re-
produced in all the different materials

the outfit is complete silver seal is
added to the lamp, but either will prove
un acceptable gift.-E. i. Herald.

BEAUTY IN THE BUSH.

Australian Types Becoming Famous the
World Over Girls In tho Antipodes Imi-
tate Their English Sisters--Art, LItera-
ture and Drama Are Regions Unexplorod
by Them.
A good deal has been written about
the American girl, the English girl and
the girls of other countries; but the
Australian girl, up to the present, has
not come in for much attention. Per-
haps it is, says London Sketch, that,
coming from English stock, she has al
ways been regarded as too essentially
British to be dissociated from the
daughters of John Bull. Yet she is n
distinct species, as different from the
average English girl us the American
girl. In personal charms she possesses
all the attractiveness, but, owing large
ly to the prevalence of sweltering suns
and parching hot winds for eight
months out of the twelve, her face has
not that freshness, that pink, rosebud
coloring which are ut once the JOY and
sovereign possession of the English
girl.
But it is in the exquisite contour of
her figure, in the smallness of her hands
and feet and in the perfect molding of
her features that the daughter of the
sunny south is able to hold her own. If
her face lacks the freshness of the
green fields and pastures of England
there is in it the warm sun of Australia,
which gives to the countenance look
of perpetual pleasure. The small but
clearly chiseled features of the Austria
lian girl are always pleasant in express
sion, indicating a light-hearted, care
less, irresponsible character under
meath.
The innate shyness of the English
girl has no place in her temperament,
nor does she pay much regard to the
culture, the self-contained dignity, the
gracefulness which sit so easily on the
girls of the west. The unrestrained
spirit of an independent democracy
seems to be ingrained in her. She is
essentially sociable; indeed, the life of
the average Australian girl seems to
be made up of a round of social func-
tions-balls, 'at homes," parties. She
elevates gossip to fine art, and in the
little world in which she resides she will
be possessed of an encyclopedia knowl-

edge of everybody figuring in social
circles. She achieves distinction in
vo!ubility. "She can talk, but she has
no conversation" as Mrs. Allonby re-
marked. To her, art, literature, drama
and politics are uneXplored regions.
Dress is the dominant note of her char
acter. And in this, as in almost every
thing else, she is an imitator.
There is little original about the Aus
tralian girl. England is her fetch, and
particularly the English fashion jour
nails. She will wear cumbersome and
trailing skirts under pitiless sun, and
with the thermometer over 100 degrees,
If they have been worn in England. And
in her affections she dearly loves an
Englishman. She doesn't stop to in
quire about his character; if he comes
from the old land he has the key of her
heart. But, above ali these super
fatalities, which are unavoidable in u
new country, rough and uncultured,
there is much that is good and useful
and practical about the Australian girl.
In her domestic qualifications she is un-
approachable. Hard-working, indus
trious, economical, capable with her
needle, good-tempcred, and, above all,
generous, the Australian girl makes an
| ideal wife.
AS the artistic and refining influences
of the old world become more and more
ingrained in the people of the vast
southern continent the Australian girl,
| by her grace and winsomeness, will be-
come keen competitor with her Ameri-
can cousin for recognition in the social
spheres of London and Paris.

serrated leaf and you will see why. The
directions given by one who learned the
various stitches at the famous South
Kensington school are: "a long stitch
forward Ton the right or upper side),
and a short backward stitch on the un-
der side" The illustration will show
how this is done.
The same method is applicable for
outlining flowers, such as pansies or
daisies. When n center is required, the
proper finish is the French knot. This
looks complicated to those who do not
know how this is done, but it is very
simple. 1t is made by pushing the
needle up through the cloth, just where
the knot is to be, then winding the silk
round the needle, two, three or four
times before pushing it back through
the cloth to the wrong side. The num-
Der of times you wind the thread round
will regulate the size of the knot. Twice
is sufficient in ordinary work.-Brook-

WOMAN WAR VETERAN.

lIrs. Kady Browncn Was Color Bearer at
Bull Run.
Mrs. Kndy Brownell, the only wom-
nm on record as having regularly en-
listed in the war with the south, be-
came an employee of New York city n
few days ago as an attendant of one of
the cottages in Central park. Mrs.
Brownell was obliged to pass a civil
service examination to get the place.
II was bound to get it," she said,
".and did get it. You see, my hus-
band has been out of work for nearly
a year. 1t was necessary for somebody
TO go to work, so thought 1 would see
what / could do. But woman has
got to hustle in these times to get n
decent chance"
Mrs. Brownell's appearance is thor
oughly inconsistent with her war rec
ord. She served under Gen. Burnside
for three years, and was color-bearer
at Bull Run; but she is as sprightly and
cheery as woman of 80. II never
know what it is to feel tired" she de-
clared.
Mrs. Brownell fell in love with Rob-
ert S. Brownell and married him in
Providence, R. 1. The day after the col
ors were sent down at Fort Sumter

Island volunteers and went to the war.
His wife went with him.
Her young husband joined the First
Rhode Island regiment, which was at
once ordered south. Mrs. Brownell de-
riined 10 be left behind, and on maxi
ing an appeal to the governor of the
state was regularly enlisted and made
color bearer OF the regiment, the gov
ernor himself providing her with a
uniform.

gray silk full trouser boomers, Over

"a white feather?"
-'No." she replied, proudly, "I never
showed the white feather. 1t was
black. Over my uniform 1 wore an
hrmy coat, with cape"
The longest march this young hero
inc had to endure she made in the be-
ginning of her military career. This
was from Greencastle to Fredricl
City, distance of SO miles, made with
out halt, starting Mt three in the
afternoon of Saturday and arriving OF
