The General Homework Lady.

She has arrived at last, the general
homework lady She has been for some
time expected. We have had the sales
lady-a great many of her-the wash
lady and the scrub lady, and now the
lady of all work has appeared. She has
appeared in cold print, too, and there
is no installing her. The following adj
yertisement appeared in one Of the New
York morning papers in the Help
column on Wednesday:
"Well recommended lady for general
homework; good cook and laundress
reference.
There is no mistake about it, and the
homework lady demands her perquisites
Immediately. She is recommended, and
she asks for references. If she does nos
intend to duplicate her own assertions
Of worthiness, that is certainly the
meaning Of the last word of the adyer-
tisement. That may not be so unreason-
able, and no one would wish to deprive
the homework lady Of that or many
other perquisites if her assumption Of
the title was not such bitter, biting
satire.
4 real homework lady, with neat,
dainty ways, a kitchen faultlessly clean,
food perfectly cooked and faculty for
handling dishes without ornamenting
them with unnatural scallops, would be
welcomed with open arms. But tho
homework lady as her confreres have
been Of old All hail to the first public
ly announced lady Of all work May
she be something better and no worse
than those of her kind who have gone
before New York Times.

A SOLDIERS STATURE.
The Physical Proportions of Uncle Sans
Fighting Men.

An Apollo is all right from the stand
point of beauty and serves well the pur-
poses of the sculptor. But he is not the
model for a soldier. OF the latter en-
durance is wanted, and he has model
Of his own. He need not be fair to see
(Belvedere), but he is terrible to the
enemy
An official publication by Lieutenant
Colonel Woodruff of the medical de-
partment Of the army gives a number Of
points with reference to the physical
accomplishments of the soldier that are
of interest at this time First, howev-
er, there is a question of age. The ideal
age for cavalry is 30 years, for other
arms Of the service 80 years. Soldiers
under % years are considered undesira-
BILE, not being sufficiently mature.
The minimum height for soldier is
3 feet 1 inches. the maximum for cav
airy feet 10 inches. For infantry
there must be a proper proportion be-
tween height and weight. Taking feet
z inches as a point OF departure, the
ideal weight is considered two pounds
20 the inch. Seven pounds are added
for each inch above feet inches.
Thus soldier Of the height last named
that is 81 inches, should weigh 1874
pounds. Should he be g feet tall %
pounds should be added, making 1863
pounds. Should he be feet 3 inches in
height his proper weight would be 1870
pounds. As 1870 pounds is the maximum
weight soldier measuring more than
6 feet 3 inches would be too heavy If
properly proportional.
It is not to DO understood that these
precise weights are to be exacted from
men who enlist. \ reasonable approx
nation to them is sought and is de-
manded except in cases where the de
sire TO get recruits rapidly relaXes the
rule, or where special exceptions are
made by reason of the desirability OF
the recruit in other respects For
though the main aim is TO make n fight
ing machine out Of the best physical
material obtainable, yet it is impossi'
BILE to ignore altogether mental and
moral qualities which may happen TO
count for more in some cases than the
most perfect physique. As an illustra-
tion Of this it may be noted that the ap-
plication Of the rule rigidly would have
excluded both Napoleon and Nelson
and relegated them to civil life.
The question whether men from town
or country make the better soldiers has
been much mooted. The general opinion
is that the hardy farmers are best fitted
for endurance, but there is good deal
Of evidence to the contrary. Colonel
Woodhull's Judgment hits the medium
between the extremes. With two years
for preparation the farmer is better;
for immediate service, the city man.
This is the reason assigned: "Open air
military life is physical promotion to
city men accustomed to irregular hours,
unwholesome meals ana poorly ven
tilated rooms. To country lads the If
regular and sometimes scanty meals,
broken rest, necessity for prompt and
exact action, and, above all. the GER
tainty of acquiring such diseases as
measles, whooping cough and humps
which town boys always have IN child
hood, are very eEhansting. Louis

Two prayers parallel each other in
uuaintness OF thought and speech. The
first il that Of La Hire, Joan Of Arc s
choice rufiian, but, according to Mon
strelet, no worse than any other OF his
time:
Fair Sir God, | pray thee do 70 La
Hire as he would do to thee vert thou
La Hire and he were God.
A curious parallel this with:
Here neth Martin Elgnbrod;
Have mercy on his soul, o God
As he would have II he were God
And thou vert Martin Elginbrod
Quoted from memory, on the authori-
ty Of George Macdonald, an epitaph, l
think, in an Aberdeen burial ground.
But a nobler prayer, paralleled by
some passages in our own Bible. is that
of Socrates in the Phedo;
80 beloved Pan and all ye other
gods of this place, grant me TO become
beautiful in the inner man and that
whatever things havs may be at peace
with those within. May deem the
wise man rich and may ! have such a
portion Of gold as none but prudent
man can either bear or employ. "
Is this SO very unlike that lovely
prayer of Agur where he says "Give
me neither poverty nor riches, " and is
the one holy and tho other not?-Iem-

Thanks, Mr.. LabOuchere.

The old world in its dealings with
the new assumes an attitude of conde-
scension which is as ridiculous as it is
unwarranted. When the Spanish-Amer-
lean war broke out, the Spaniards treat
ed their American opponents with aris-
tocratic contempt, referred to them as
"flibustering vagabonds" and gener-
ally assumed an attitude of incompar-
able superiority. One Of the salient
features of the late war, apart from the
ease with which the Spaniards were
overcome and the gross corruption that
has been shown to exist in official cir
Giles in Spain is the manly, honest, gen.
erous and chivalrous conduct OF the
United States government forces and
people from the beginning TO the end OF
the campaign. 1t is only just to give ex'
preston to the general feeling Of ad-
miration which the new chiyalry has
created throughout Europe. London

fOUNDEROF THE RED CROSS
Who Spent Fortune and n Lifetime to
Establish This Movement.

ITO Mr. Henri Dunant, IA Swiss gen
tleman, belongs the honor of inaugural
ing this movement" writes Belle NJ.
Brain, telling 1.-The Story of the Red
Gross" in The Woman's Home Com
panion. "Being i'll Italy at the time Of
the battle of Solferino, June "a, 1859,
he visited the battlefield. Appalled, by
the needless and terrible suffering, he
remained many days, doing all in his
power to relieve it. During these terri
BILE days Mr.. Dunant conceived the idea
of system of organized relief whereby
aid could be given under such circum-
stances. Returning home, he published
a little book called 'Recollections of
Solferino' that aroused great interest.
His appeal touched responsive chord
in all hearts. Being invited to address
the General Society Of Public Utility
on the subject, he unfolded to them his
plans. From that time forward he la
bored indefatigably to win adherents TO
his cause, writing articles, delivering
addresses, travelling from place to place,
consulting officials high in authority at
the European courts. By the pro-
vision Of the Red Cross treaty surgeons,
nurses, ambulance trains and all hos
pital supplies are considered neutral,
provided they display uniform badge
and flag, accompanied by their national
flag.
"In compliment to Mr.. Dunant and
the Swiss government the protective
sign and flag agreed upon was red
Greek cross on a white ground-the re-
verse Of the Swiss flag. Turkey alone
has objected to this. Her soldiers, in
their intense hatred of the Christian
symbol, refused to work under banner
with a cross and they were allowed to
use a red crescent in its place.
"Mr. Dunant is now about 70 years
Of age Having spent half his fortune
in establishing the Red Cross and hay-
ing lost the other half in unfortunate
business ventures, he lived for many
years, poor and forgotten, in plain
district infrmary in Switzerland Of
which he himself was the founder.
Now, however, through the pensions
granted him by the dowager empress Of
Russia and the federal council Of
Switzerland and the generous gifts Of
money sent him by the citizens Of SUIT
CART, Germany, he is spending a peace
ful old age in comfort and plenty"

Edible Birds Nests.

in small cottages high up in some nook
Of the limestone rock, like Norwegian
hut, or down on the spotless sand Of
the single little cove. beneath a palm

effected by these men three times in she

care has to be exercised that the nests

has happened the birds are said not to
build again.
The collection Of the nests is risky.

Prince Bismarck's Will.

The Dantzic Gazette says that il has
seen Prince Bismarck's will. The late
chancellor bequeathed all his estates in
Pomerania to Count William, with the
exception of Rheinfeld in Rummels-
burg, which falls to Prince Herbert.
All the valuables, consisting chiefly
of presents deposited by Bismarck at
Bleichroeder bank in Berlin, are made
over to Prince Herbert Their total
value is said to amount to 1000, 900
marks, and in consideration of their
worth Prince Herbert had to hand over
in money to Count William the sum Of
800, 900 marks. The daughters Of Count
William, three in number, each inherits
100. 900 marks, and the Countess Rant
Eau receives 900, 600 marks. The value
of the property disposed Of in the will
is said by the paper i'll question to have
been estimated at 1000, 600 marks at
the time the will was made. but the
late chancellor's real and personal es-
tate is now valued at 1000, 900 marks,
or 81, 600, 900.
Thus Prince Bismarck left 81, 600. 900
under a will made at time when his
fortune was considerably less than that
sum. Those who hold that the laborer
is worthy of his hire will rejoice to
learn that he did not have to save his
country for nothing As he reproached
Moltke for avarice it is to be supposed
that he was himself able to lay by this
considerable sum without any infirmity
of that sort. His manner of living dur
ing the later years of his life offered no
temptation to extravaganza He lived
on his own country estate like a glori-
fed squire and kept far from him the
inevitable unthriftiness Of the town aud
the court. London News.
