Indifferent About Letting His subOrdI-
Mates Soc His Ignorance.
A few days after the thirteenth ven
demaire l happened to be at the Office
of the general staff in the Rue Neuve
DIES Capucines, when Gen. Bonaparte,
who was lodging in the house, came in,

l can still see his little hat, surmount-
ed by a chance plume badly fastened
on, his tri-color sash more than care
lessly tied, his coat cut anyhow and
a sword which, in truth, did not seem
the sort of weapon to make his fortune.
Flinging his hat on large table in the
middle of the room, he went up to an
old general named Krieg, a man with
wonderful knowledge of detail and the
author of a very good soldiers man
ual. He made him take a seat beside
him at the table and began question
ing him, pen in hand, about host of
facts connected with the service and
discipline. Some of his questions show
ed such complete ignorance of the
moEt ordinary things that several OF
my comrades smiled. I was myself
struck by the number of his questions,
their order and their rapidity.
But what struck me still more was the
spectacle of commander-in-chi per-
fectly Indifferent about showing his
subordinates how completely ignorant
he was of various points of the bust
ness which the junior of them was
supposed to know perfectly, and this

Jean Inge1ow's Last DAYS

Late pictures Of Jean Ingelow show
rather commonplace face with broad
brow and kindly eyes, and a prim lace
cap, the fires of enthusiasm burned to
ashes as white as the neatly parted hair.
For twenty years she lived alone with
her mother in the solitude of big house
and garden in London. She had wealth
and she cared for flowers and birds.
Three times a week she gave her copy
right dinners to the poor just discharged
from the hospital. Thus she lived the
latter half of her life-quiet, useful,
tranquil, charitable, seemingly undis-
turbed by the surge of passionate song
that shook her young heart and almos;
won her fame.
The poet was not precocious as a
child, but she had retentive memory.
She was timid and would retire to cor
ners to write down her fancies and
treasure them in box. She spent many
lonely hours on the beach watching the
pillows of the sea and the passing of the
ships. There Is a sad note in many of
her songs, and 1t has been surmised that
she was disappointed in love in he.
youth, but the world has never learned
whether she was ever in love. When
her first book came out it was thought
she had written under pen name. She
was ranked as the peer of Mrs. Brown
ing, and it is difficult for the present
generation to realize that she created
such furore in her early career.-Lon-
don Letter.

As the season advances blue seems
more than ever in favor although the
cornflower shade, still seen to some ex-

the periwinkle, known as "perwonche. "

covered with Holland colored grass

Children Like to Burrow

A woman who has spent several years
abroad greatly misses the Fairgrounds
that are reserved for children in the
parks of Germany and France, and es-
pecially misses the piles of clean sand
in which her little folks delighted to play
in foreign towns. These, in several of
the German cities, are under the watch
full eye of the soldier police who see that
the rights of the children are preserved,
that the sand is renewed when needed
and that no monopoly exists among the
youngsters In the vacation Fairgrounds
e-s tablished in this city of late summers
these piles have been found and the keen
pleasure taken in them by the children
should convince the authorities that
their multiplication would be well. 1t
is suggested to any city mother who has
backyard where a corner can hold a
sand pile to put one there. She would
find it an economical investment, almost
At one of the settlements managed by
nurses no one thing provided for the

boys, children play there literally all day

LOCKJAW FROM TIGHT SHOES
Fatal Case in st. Louis Which May
Serve as a Warning

Tight shoes caused, the death of Philip
Schreiber at the city hospital yesterday.
The same fatal disease that resultedf from
tight shoes in Schreiber's case, accord
ing to Superintendent Otto Sutter of the
city hospital, threatens every man and
woman whose vanity is stronger than
their desire for comfort 1t Is also a
possible result from the wearing of cor
sets too tightly laced.
The disease was lockjaw. 1t overlook
Schneider in its most horrible form. His
death was agonizing AS to whether 1t
will serve as a horrible warning, DR..
Sutter does not care to venture an opin-
ion.
Schreiber's death was not the result
Of vanity He was a. molder, in poor
circumstances. Recently he purchased
a new pair of shoes, which seemed to fit
when he bought them, but proved too
small when he had walked in them
awhile. They caused him considerable
pain, but he could not discard them and
buy another pair, because he had not
the money. In this he differed from ia sh-
ions followers, who have the money
but retain their tight shoes from prefer
ence, regardless of the fact that death
turks IN the calfSktn.
Besides being tight across the foot,
the part that laced across 1ne instep
bound Schreiber's feet securely, and by
Tuesday a sore began to form on the
instep of his right foot. 1t gradually
developed into an abscess, and on Thurs
day Schneider decided he needed, medical
attention. The a'becess seemed to affect
his entire system.
He applied at the city hospital for
treatment but it was too late. Short
ly after his admission lockjaw devel-
oped His jaws became fixed, his mus
cles rigid, and he was seized at intervals
with convulsions. He died in horrible
agony.
That such a fate awaits the greater
portion of the feminine population of ST.
Louis and large number of the male
persuasion seems improbable, but DR..
Sutter declares it to be a fact
Tight shoes are more apt than not to
produce sores upon the feet said the
hospital superintendent, land lockjaw
is more likely to result from such sore
than from one on any other part of the
body. The reason is that short walk
sufHces to fill the shoes with dirt and
dust, particles of which are apt to re-
main in the sore and cause lockjAw to
develop. Even with the advantage of
anti-toxine in the treatment of the dis
case it is still dangerous and must be
taken in time to prevent death, even
with the anti-toxine
Another possible source of danger is
the wearing of corsets. Women addict
ed to tight lacing are in considerable
danger, aside from that arising from the
compression of the vital organs. An
exposed corset rib (they are usually OF
metaD may chafe the ekin until an alb
scess forms, and, while the danger of
lockjaw would be slight as compared
with that in the case of a sore on the
foot, 1t would be likely to result seri-
ously. st. Louis Republic.

Some Valuable Hints in
the Art
THE SUMMER NOVELTIES
THE SHIRRED HAT OF CHIFFON
GAUZE
Satin Straw as q Garniture-Hats to
Match Heads-High and
Low Crowns

The ruches so universally worn last
winter have been relegated to obscurity
| and row not one is seen on any hat. So,
too, with heron and osprey aigrettes;
they are very seldom seen now, but
these, no doubt, will arise Phoenixlike
with the advent of cold weather.
One of the latest small hats is capote
with a fancy straw brim and full crown
of white glace kid striped with black.
This will not be generally adopted by
conservative women, however, on ac-
count of it's eccentricity. By the way. II
is rumored that kid and leather will be
used both for hat and dress garMture
next winter.
Here Is hint for home hat trimming.
Ths cleverest milllners stif1y wire the
tall;. graceful punches Of flowers or TO-
liage to prevent their collapsing after
few times wearing. Gauze ribbon too.
should be wired, but the loops and ends
of the huge bows now in vogue in the
heavier ribbons are so knotted and
twisted that wiring is unnecessary.
One of this summers novelties is the
shirred hat of chiffon gauze or NOUS
seline de sole. These are always large
picture hats. A pretty one seen was in
this seasons particular shade Of scarlet
and was of silk muslin shirred on a
Rembrandt, with black ostrich tips. It
was very striking, but the dampness Of
the seashore would ruin it, 80 that 1t II
only suitable for town or mountains.
Satin straw as a garniture. and hats
fashioned from it gain rather than lose
in popularity as the season advances. It
is pretty, If a little dear, as it costs more
to have hat made than to get blocked
one. 1t comes in every color imagin-
able, and as the hats of 1t are made by
hand, they can be shaped in any odd
and charming way, and therefore have
an air which is lacking in any other
kinds.
Milliners, importers and manufacture
ers have at last been clever enough to
decide that several styles Of hats and
trimmings shall be in style, so that all
shaped heads Apd faces can be becom-
ingly fitted. 1t used to be that the
edict would go forth that a low crown
was the newest shape, whereupon every
woman, whether it looked we'll on her
or not, would adopt low crown. Now
this Is all changed, and each season one
can get high or low crown, medium or
broad brim, trimmed all over In the
| front, back or sides, and all are equally

Men Object to Powder

With rare exceptions men enter a
strong protest against the lavish use of
powder by their feminine relatives and
acquaintances, and they are remark
ably quick in detecting it's presence The
time has gone by when beauty seekers
daubed cheeks and nose and brow with
pasty enamels and washes. Fastidious
taste demands that such toilet articles
as are used be of the daintiest and most
hygienic. AS for powder, there isn't a
well-equipped dressing table nowadays
which lacks box of it.
Every woman admits that in summer
time she depends upon her puff ball, not
to conceal complexion defects. but to
give to the face feeling of refreshment.

small boy Is likely to brush sticky hand
across the powder spot exclaiming: sis,
your nose looks as if it had been poked

man of the family. By this time the
guilty one has fed to her room, snatched

Sailors Bright With Tartan Plaids

According to Alex les Bains, If you
want to be truly fashionable and quite
up to the last wrinkle, you must have a
sailor hat trimmed with tartan plaid
ribbon and quills. These hats are quite
the smartest hats for undress wear, and
they make a woman look perky and
pretty. 1t is not necessary that your
hat should be like everybody else's, for
the plaid ribbons are so varied that one
may be sure of picking a novelty if she
tries.
One of these hats that I saw yester-
day was trimmed with the new plaid
ribbon in a most wonderful combination,
blue, white, yellow, purple, pink and a
half dozen other shades meeting on most
amicable terms. The ribbon was tied
in Tam O. Shanter crown of Panama
straw, and a lot of white quilts and
feather osprey decorated the left side.
An equally dashing hat of this style
was a cream white Panama straw, with
plaid taffeta ribbon in yellow, green and
