ENLIsTING IN ,s1.

The manner of enlistment of the
United States volunteer army in re-
Spouse to the call of the president and
the red-tape requirements, as we'll as
the manner in which the members of
the state militia do not enlist, forcibly
bring to mind the manner of enlistment
upon the reception of the presidents
call in 1861. One of the well known
citizens of this city-a prominent city
official, by the way-tells the following
story: Fort Sumter was fired on on
April IL, and the presidents call for
troops was issued on the 18th, as he re-
members it, though some historians
state that the call was issued on the
18th.
At all events, Monday morning, April
Is, he came down street before break
fast and visited the armory of the old
Pawtucket Light Guards. He found a
deal of excitement there. The COM
pany had voted to tender it's services
to the president, and the men were
putting down their names. OF course,
, there were some who could not go or
who did not want to go, and, finding
one of these, he offered to take his
place. The offer was accepted and he
put his name down. Then he started
out to get his breakfast, but, to his
surprise, he found a guard at the door
who would allow no one to pass with
out the countersign-"Yo Yorktown" or
"Norfolk" the commanding of

and then returned to the arnory and
at once began drilling. He remained

( ington as part Of the 1st Regiment,

people, who were residing in Connecti-

ficials by the extraordinary develop
ment in the number of women who
habitually ride in railway trains quite
unattended, Women nowadays, 1t has
been noticed, have no hesitation in talk
ing journeys, OFTEN considerable In dis
lance, without masculine escort. The
rising demand for compartments mark
ed Ladies only has emphasized this
fact; for while the mothers, wives, and
daughters of Englishmen are beginning
to make freer use of their liberty than
they have hitherto done, they still re-
tain natural reluctance publicly to
advertise that they are unaccompanied.
They seek each others company. All
railways have recognized their obliga-
tion to provide waiting rooms set apart
for ladies, but in very few instances
can such accommodation be described
as fitting to the gentle sex for which 1t
is reserved When ladies' waiting
rooms are not deplorably dirty, they
are insufferably dull, generally dark,
ill-ventilated, and cherries, Many la
dies hold them in so great adherence
that they will not enter them, so dis
graceful is the neglect into which they
have fallen in the absence of proper at
tention.
Ladies are even worse off in regard
to refreshments. There are railway
bars where a women coming alone will
not be served. for very good reasons;
and, as a rule. no lady will push her
way through the lettering throng of
men to the refreshnent counter Wo-
men, too, at great functions are at
disadvantage. They will rather starve
than rush to the refreshment bar for
the food which thew cannot get else
where. 1t was for the ladies' especially

A WORD or CAUTION.

Sad to say, there are people mean
and wicked enough to steal the livery
Of patriotism to serve themselves in.
This being so it is we'll enough for
those who are honestly patriotic to be
on their guard against schemers who
may try to collect money from them
for patriotic purposes" Those who
can and will contribute money for
such purposes should be careful that
their contributions get into honest
hands. Plausible circulars and plausi-
BILE agents should not be carelessly con-
fided in. Investigate before you give
unless you know that everything is
all right Some suspicious appeals"
are already ahoat and there will be
others.

A noted English physician has dis
covered an absolute remedy for in
somnia. Go to bed and lie on the fiat
of your back with the legs straight and
uncrossed. Place one hand on the
breast. The other should be held in
the air at slight angle from the body,
SO that the arm has no support other
than that given it by contraction of the
muscles. Let the mind busy itself in
maintaining the position of the arm.
Do not give in to the desire to rest the
arm, when it grows tired, by letting it
fall on the bed. Hold it poised in the
air. The result will be sound sleep.
This position may be changed to any
other in which any set of muscles are
used, leg or arm, with the same result
The patient soon finds out the best way
and presently, when the habit of quick
~ falling to sleep is acquired, forgets
all about his insomnia.
