10 Learn True Patience.
IAN things considered" said Mr.. StoRgleby,
~ think. perhaps. the highest school OF patience
may be found in the work Of the pushcart. l
have seen men driving big wagons with big
teams take pains to cut around a pushcart man
without disturbing him. But the average
driver considers that, so far as the pushcart men
are concerned. he owns the street. and besides,
as he has the superior weight of metal, he can
drive over and smash the pushcart man II he
wants to do 30. He does not hesitate 10 take
full advantage OF his power. The pushcart man
has 10 get out Perhaps It's right that no should
get out, but whether it is or not no has to go,
and he goes as a rule without even u scowl Tor
the man who is driving upon him.
Its the same when the policeman orders him
on; he picks up and Coca without q word or a
look, and he does this forty times q day. It's Q
part Of his daily life to move on. and to be
crowded away, and he takes IL philosophically.
He may hurry sometimes. but II no does II is
because he has Overstayed his time, and he fees
tho policeman. But as to the mere being
ordered on or driven on he 10 quite undisturbed.
1t 10 all the same whether these things happen
to him forty times q day or four times forty
for he has learned patience, which has been so
instilled into him that 1t IL a part of his being.

Ono of tho show houses OF Fifth avenue,

the country, Is just now vacant. The windows
are destitute Of any draperies. and since the
time that the house was first built the general
public has never had such an opportunity to

everything has been removed and only the bare

One of the best known hatters this year put
on the market a straw hat which was just the
Kind that had boon demanded for several years.
The popularity Of this specimen of headgear
was that 1t Is perfectly normal. 1t has no
brim that stretches out for several inches all
around 1t, nor Is the crown abnormally high or
low. There is nothing Of this bizarre charao-
ter about the thing. There has been a clamor
for the style during the past two or three sea-
sons. But the public found II difficult to get
them. The hatLerS were making shapes for
their own amusement aud the public refralncd
from buying them. But this year there has
been an unprecedented agreement between the
tastes of the makers and the public. The ro-
suit Of this fortunate combination OF circum-
stances was shown one afternoon last week.
Then 800 hats of this new style were sold with
In three hours and this will show that
they are libely to DO general whether they
are select or not. The colored hatband
is. as usual, conspicuously absent at this
season of the year. 1t appears later In the
season. One style Of the ColorSd ribbon has
been popular, however, this summer. although
the number of those that are seen in the streets
has greatly diminished and they seem to have
lost some of their old-time JauntineSs. These
are the blue and yellow ribbons OF Troop A,
which were 30 pervadinR q year ago. Those
that remain In town to-day seem lonesome aud

Intelligent enough to recognize the fact
that they needed very. rough breaking
in in order to be quickly changed from
ease loving civilians into soldiers fit for
the hardships and dangers of the cam
paigns- The Jersey brigade was one Of
the best fighting corps in the army.
When the army reached the PENN
sula, Kearny was placed in command
of division in the Third Army CORPS.
He proved TO be a very active division
commander. In the battles at Williams
burg and Fair Oaks he displayed great
gallantry in hurrying forward the troops
where they were needed and leading
them into action In the battle at Fair
Oaks his division was one of the most
conspicuous. It was at Fair Oaks that

when he offered his sword to the gov

The Confederates always made tar

lived through many battles in 1891 and
1862. At Fair Oaks he told a subordi-

fell Kearny, the hero Of the most bril-
liant personal exploit performed at the
gates of Mexico. He had just sent his
orderly to the rear to mail letter TO
his wife, and his fate was not known
until the body came into the lines un-
der a flag Of truce.
Kearny's genius stamped itself upon
the First Jersey brigade. This body of
men was organized by Kearny at the
request Of the governor of New Jersey.
His name was always associated with
it during the war, although he never
led it in battle. The veteran survivors

enemy's lines when killed. When boy
at college, Kearny had with him q war

soldiers, artillery train, spring guns,
elaborate field works and Notifications.
His leisure was spent in exercising on
mimic battlefields. One of the great
soldiers idolized by the boy warrior was
Tilly, German of the seventeenth
century, known as the ''Old Devil -
In after years Kearny was to bear a
nickname quite as significant, for while
