In the "reminiscences of Gen. Sir Ev-
elyn Wood, himself a brave English
soldier, a touching instance of courage
and ~self-sacrifce is given, says an ex-
change. One June day in 1885 a detach-
ment of English marines was CROSSING
the Woronzow road under fire from the
Russian batteries. All of the men
reached shelter in the trenches except
a seaman, John Blewitt. AS he was
running a terrific roar was heard. His
mates knew the voice of a huge cannon.
the terror of the army, and yelled:
Look out! 1t is Whistling Dickw
But at the moment Blewitt was
struck by the enormous mass of iron
on the knees and Thrown to the ground.
He called to his social chum:
"Oh, WEIGH, a v me"
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
WEIGH ran out Of the trenches and.
selling the great shell, tried to roll it
on of his coinrade.
1t exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom Of the bodies of Blew
lit or WEIGH was found. Even in THAT
time. when each hour had its excite
ment, this deed of heroism stirred the
whole English army. One Of the Off

Two of Grant,s Anec,,,..

IN the Century Gen. Horace Porter
sives the Following anecdotes that were
related by Grant at the headquarters
mess:
I was with Gen. Taylor's command
IN MEXICO when he not only failed to
receive re-enforcements but found that
nearly all his regulars were to be sent
away from him to join Gen. Scott. Tay-
ior was apt to be a little absentminded
when absorbed in any perplexing prob
lem, and the morning he received the
discouraging news he sat down to
in a brown study, poured out
a cup or coffee, and, instead of putting
IN the sugar, he reached out and got
mold OF the mustard pot and stirred
half a dozen spoonfuls of its contents
into the coffee. He didn't realize what
he had done till he took a mouthful
and then he broke out in a towering
rage.
We learned something at Shiloh
about the way in which the reports of
losses are sometimes exaggerated in
battle. At the close of the first davis
II Sherman met a colonel of one of
his regiments with only about 100 of
his soldiers in ranks and said to him:
why, where are your men?' The col
onel cast his eyes sadly along the line,
wiped a tear from his cheek and re-
piled In a whimpering voice: We went
IN SUI strong and that's all that's left
OF u.s. You don't tell me! exclaimed
Sherman, beginning to be deeply af-
fected by the fearful result of the car
mage! Yes said the colonel. the
rebs appeared to have a special spite
against u.s. Sherman passed along
some hours a%fterward, when the com
missary was issuing r%ations, and found
that tie colonel's men were returning
on the run from under the bank of the
river, where they had taken shelter
from the firing, and in a few minutes
nearly all of the lost 700 had returned
and were boiling coffee and eating a
hearty meal. with an appetite that
showed they were still very much
alive"

1t. The dress material was pale gray
wooden stuff, and both skirt and blouse
waist were accordion plated. Mauve
taffeta furnished the vest and revers,
the latter being trimmed with narrow
BRUSSELS lace; a narrow frill of taffeta
edged the gray stock collar, and chit
fon frills finished the sleeves.
A genuinely odd accessory for the
waist is very like the thick leather dog
collars, its fastenings clumsy and Curl
Gus. This makes a stunning belt for
the summer girl, though a slender
waist is a necessity. If she has a big
dog, then her belt will exactly match
his collar and the two will go out to-
gether that no one can possibly miss
the fact, that she wears a collar around
her waist. These collars come in dark

Suit yourself. Saw, Fash,on

A great secret of being well dressed
is being dressed according to your
style. Time was when everyone to be
in the mode had to dress along certain
lines, whether those suited her especial
ly or not. but now it is not so. A wom-
an may dress as best suits herself, gen.
eral current rules being observed, of
course, and if she understands at the
start what is becoming, the result is
good, even though it places her in a
different style of femininity from her
neighbor. Just now the women who
take kindly to perky frills and fluffy
daintiness are favored, but the roman
tic maid may affect the princess gown,
the empire and the fichu and Marie
Antoinette fashions. There is a great
trick of course in following only the
graceful outlines. but the present fash
Ions allow that. To accomplish this.

Cunninsly Adjusted Bodices.

Beautiful bodices that take the out
line of folded belt, extending from just
to the hips. swathed in at the waist and
widening in graceful folds as the figure
rounds to the full curve of the bust, are
SO cunningly adjusted that they seem
to be carelessly wound about the fig
ure. Such a belt or bodice is of great
value as an accessory in your wardrobe
Just now. for it cannot only be worn
with your early spring cloth costume,
but with the very daintiest muslin of
next August. Nothing is more be-
coming to any figure than such a belt,
The bodice to be worn beneath need be
really nothing much besides pretty eff
feet of sleeves and yolk. Often a fchu
effect is secured, the fichu ends disap-
pearing under the belt, to appear at the
waist below the belt, where they hang
free as far as the knees.

lzed and and calls in the forces o1
nature to assist him. The German nat.
uralist and traveller Brehm witnessed
IN Central Africa fights that were con
quoted in as orderly a manner as il
the warriors had been really men in
stead of only somewhat like them in
form, says the Youths Companion.
The actors in the play were balloons
and their enemies were in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons

and he wed his exemption solely to
the fact that the balloons could not
OFTEN gain a point of vantage.
The naturalist himself was once
stoned out OF a pass in a very few min
utes by these creatures, who sprane
upon Lodges and stones, looked down
for a few moments on the valley, growl-
ing. snarling, and screaming. and then
began to roll down stones with so
much vigor and ad~oitness that the in
truders took to flight. The balloons
evidently knew the value of co-opera-
ton, for the naturalists saw two of
them combine their efforts in order to
set a particularly heavy stone rolling.
One monkey, bent on making the most
OF his missile, was seen to carry a STONE
up a tree that he might hurl If with
greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs at
tackled the balloons the balloons were
crossinga valley, and, as usual dnrinp
a march, the females and young were
in the center. the males heading the
column and bringing up the rear. AS
the dogs rushed upon them only the
females took to flight.
The males turned and faced the on.
emy, growing, beating the ground
with their hands, and opening their
mouths wide SO as to show their glitter
ing teeth. They looked SO fierce and
malicious that the dogs-Arab grew
hounds, accustomed to fight successful
~ with hyenas and other beasts OF prey
-shrank back. By the time they were
encouraged TO renew the attack the
whole herd had made its way, covered
by the rear guard, to the rocks, one
6-months-old monkey alone excepted.
This little monkey sat on a rock, sur
by the dogs, but he was not
long left in his perilous position. An
OLD Daboon stepped from a cliff near by.
advanced toward the dogs, keeping
them in check by threatening gestures
and sounds. picked up the baby monk

ana shouted their battlecry.

DR.. Spencer, in a recent publication
on Niagara, says that, in his, opinion,
the Niagara river was formed 81, 900
years ago, and that 1000 years later
the falls We're in existence-for some
1920 years their height was about 200
feet. He says the drainage of the lakes
ilrst flowed through the Niagara gorge
1000 years ago, and that the water in
Lake Ontario first rose to its present
level 5000 years ago. Prof. Lyall es-
t'mated the Niagara rivers age at 35.-

the London Daily News. It. has re-
1ected, by 100000 to- 100000, the pro-
posal to establish a., federal nationa,

of these national consultations. The
parts are extremely suspicious of the
whole; the voters rarely fail to make
short work of all proposals, to increase
the federal power. Their first impulse
and usually the last. is to, say No"
OF twenty-seven laws referred down to
a recent period fifteen were vetoed and
only twelve approved. This probably
accounts for MI. Balfour's known pan
TALLY for the measure. The refercn-
dunn made its first appearance in the.

the "facultative" form; that Is to saw

Lifting Stree. Skirt. Easily.


While it is considered bad form for
a woman to carry her skirts when
walking, there are conditions and cir
cumstances when she must do SO. In
the first place, unless one is a woman
of luxury, with those in her service
with nothing but her wardrobe to look
after, II is not eXcusable for wearing
skirts thai in consequence of their all-
round exaggerated length are verttable
street sweepers. For women who are
not thus luxuriously conditioned, walk
ing skirts should be made Just to es-
cape the ground. and then they should
be allowed to hang free, unless the
or crossings are too damp
or otherwise dirty. when it would of
course, be most u%ncleanly not to lift
the skirts. The way to lift them most
enectually and conveniently is to throw
the extra back fullness of the skirt
over the back of the hand, which
should be closed and placed as a nam
ole on n side of the body, and slight
ly bend the forearm forward. The full
ness of the skirt will thus be found
to remain in place, and will not CAUSE
the fatigue to the hand and wrist that
n experiences in the old way OF hold
ing SO much weight of material in the
hand. This is a decided saving ON
gloves, since it does not stretch them
or soil them or cause the hand to he
come overheated. and skirts lifted in
this way look more graceful than when
they are held in the hand. Ones anat-
omy is less liable to be emphasized, and
1t gives an ease and certainty that all
the fullness is properly looked after.
