INTERNAL EXPLOSION.
Startling Experience of Young Nurse nt the City Hospital at
 Cincinnnti, 0.

Women nurses are proyerbially cool and collected ill danger and at all times, so when one does lose her wits, tenn porarily, 1t is generally very funny. A short time since Miss F-, one of the smartest and best-skilled nurses at the Cincinnati hospital had a very sick man in her care, who was only kept alive by heroic doses of nitro-glycerin, and whose recovery from the terrible conn pication of diseases from which he suf- fered was considered almost miraculous by the medical fraternity. The nurse saw the dose written in her instruction book and questioned the doctor about it, and was told to follow the dose as directed, but she had the idea of it being q deadly explosive so firmly rooted in her mind that she handled him gingerly, with furtive look in her eye, as if she was watching the fuse end of . firecracker.
 One midnight when all were sleep- ing, typhoid patient In another ward arose from bed in delirium, slammed doors, overturned tables and chairs and crashed through a window on to the pavement below. The nurse, hearing the succession of noises, the crash of the glass, the cries of the awakened mem in their cots, without taking look or a breath, with distended eyes and hair upright, ran shrieking to the doctors door and, pounding on it in an agony of terror, called out: "Oh, doctor, doc tor, come quick your nitro-g ycerin has exploded himself" It is needless to say that she was more than pleased when she found he was still intact and not dismembered, while the true cause of the commotion was picked up stunned and bleeding andcared for ten- derlY.

In the pleasant days of old the cav alry was the most important factor in warfare. The knights composing this branch of the military, incased in ar nor. went forth to fight against bare legged peasants, poorly armed and on foot. These they would spit on their lance point after the gallant medieval fashion of the times. It was harmless sort of sport for the knight, and unless he came against some other knight his chance of getting hurt was very little
 That foot soldiers could survive the shock of heavy cavalry, weighed down as it was with boiler plate, was thought utterly impossible until the fifteenth century, when the mountaineers of Switzerland astonished men grown old in camps by sustaining the dreaded shock on their bikes. This demonstra- ton of what infantry might do. and ffe introduction of gunpowder, brought the cavalry into neglect. Indeed. the cavalry had so degenerated by the be- ginning of the seventeenth century as to be a ponderoHs, inactive body. Charges at speed were unknown 10 il. Reliance was placed on the musIfet and pistol instead of the sword.
 It was Gustavus Adolphus, the great Swedish king and hero, who took this nnWieldy body and imparted to that dash and go which to-day gives the eavalryman his air of romance.
 One of the most famous cavalry charges made by that leader was at LHtzen, in 1892, where he met his death. The Swedish army, 2o.ooo strong. was ranged in two lines; the infantry held the center, while the cavalry was post

SPONGING SILK.
How to Remove stains from BInck Dress Goods and BInck or
 GoIored Ribbons.

Remove any grease spots before com meneing with the sponging of either black or eolored silks, using q lump of magnesia and rubbing it on wet if the color will endure water; or tear a visit ing card apart and with the soft inside part rub and the grease will disappear. French chalk removes grease and does not injure coiored silks. Serape a little on the spot, rub it in and let it remain 24 hours and then brush it off. Repeat the process if necessary; some grease spots are hard to remove. X very sim pie method is to sponge the silk on the wrong side with warm water and alco- hol, one-third of the latter to twice as much water, and iron on the same side with barely warm iron until the silk is dry. Sponging with hot strained cof- fee Is particularly good for gros- grain silk, which is very apt to have greasy appearance. Shake the silk in the air to remove part of the liquid, but never wiring it. A French method is to sponge the silk on both sides with spirits of wine and then iron on the wrong side with piece of crinoline between 1t and the iron. \ strong decoction of ivy leaves cleans black silk. Weak gum arabic water will remove wrinkles.
 Black ribbons are cleaned just as black silkis, and may be ironed or rolled smoothly over a broom handle until dry. If the ribbon is really soiled, brush it softly or sponge it with tablespoon ful each of alcohol, soft soap and mo- lasses; mix well, and after using as a cleanser rinse the ribbon in cold water; roll up in all old piece of cloth and iron when partly dry with q moderately hot iron.
 Colored ribbons and neelxties may be cleaned by dipping them in q bath of naphtha ard exercising the care neces- sary when this explosfse is used. Shake them free of ereases and dry in the open air. They should not be ironed. Ladies' Home Journal

GU oh Its right and left wings; facing the sweees was the imperial army of austria under Walenstein. The battle was begun by the Swedes, with a gen eral attack on Wallenstein's position. lhey swept all before them at first; VQstaYus Adolphus led the cavalry in person. He had fallen like a thdnder- ooil on the lightly=mounted Poles and 9foats posted on the enemy's left, when ne was informed that his infantry was being beaten back, where it as sa!led the center.

The great civil war in England pro- duced some notable cavalry leaders. Oliver Cromwell was the pride of the parliamentary force. He entered the army at A years of age, quiet country gentleman, and organized a regiment. This regiment became the famous "Ironsides," and he led it, flushed with victory, from many field where the red flower of war had bIossomed.
 Perhaps the most famous cavalry charge of the whole war was that made at Marston Moor. This battle was com menced by Cromwell, who charged with his cavalry on the left wing of the royal army, where Prince Rupert's horse was stationed. \ fierce fight ensued be- tween the two bodies of cavalry, which was decided in Cromwel's favor only when he brought his reserves into ac- tion.
 Another celebrated charge was at NeerwiHden, where Marshal Luxem- bourg defeated the prince of Orange, in 1893. Three gallant charges made by the French along the front of the ene- my's position had failed utterly in their purpose; en the fourth attempt being made the cavalry in a solid body en- tered the field, and sweeping around to the rear of Neerwinden hurled itself on the Dutch from behind. The charge decided the fate of the day and gave the battle 10 the French.
 At the battle of Zorndorf, Gen. Seid- litz, Frederick the Greats famous cav airy leader. gave the victory to his king by single brilliant charge on the Rus sians, Who had driven the infantry in panic from the field. The day seemed

| lost when Seidlitz, with 5000 men, forced his way through the swamps of the Zobern and rolled in upon the flank of the Russians, who were thrown into confusion, and finally routed by the rushing squadrous. The Prussian troopers hacked and cut at the flying men, as they gallopen back and forth through the disorganized mass, until from sheer exhaustion they were forced to stop the butehery.
 One of the most brilliant cavalry ac- tions of the revolutionary period in France was that of the 17th of Septem- Der, 1792. when 1,500 Prussians charged the rear guard of Dumouriez's army, which numbered 10000 men. The French gave ground and then fell back in confusion on their main body. The Prussians continued to press them and finally ended by charging the whole French army.
 At Nilliers=en-Couchu about S6 Aus trians and 200 English light dragoons' with two pieces of artillery, attacked 10000 French infantry and cavalry The charge was made with such spirit and so successfully that the French were driven from the field with loss of .200 men killed and wounded.
 The wars carried on by Napoleon were famous for great cavalry actions. The charge of the French horse at the battle of Eylau is one of these. The French had suffered fearfully from the fire of a masked battery of 72 pieces, strongly defended by Russian infantry, and Napoleon sent for Murat
 ~Weli, are you going to let those fel- lows eat us up2a he asked. He then ordered his great cavalry chief to gather the ehasseurs, the dragons and the cuirassiers and charge the Russians with 80 sqaadrons.
 Murat collected his force. Gronchy's dragoons charged first to clear the field of the enemy's cavalry. Gen { 'Iaut-

poul followed with 24 squadrons of cui- rassiers, and after him came the whole swarming mass of French horse. The cuirassiers laur,ched themselves on the Russian bayontts, but the stolid le- gions of the czar withstood the shock. Again and again the French recoiled from the iron wall. At length their stubborn antagonists gave ground at one point, making a breach through which the cuirassiers and draeoons strove to be first to pass. Once back of the first line the rest came naturally. The overthrow of the Russian regi- ments followed, and then the horse scattered to slaughter. The Russians still fought in squads and companies, and amongst them the cavalry rode on all sides. To add to the horror Of this charge the Russians trained their artil- lery on their own soldiers and on the French, firing blindly and seemingly not caring whether friends or foes went down.
 Gen. Kellermann's charge at Ma rengo was equally remarkable. He had received orders to attack the Austrian cavalry, and swept down upon it with extraordinary vigor. It was dispersed, and Kellermann threw himself Gil the flank of a column of grenadiers, already assailed in front by the French in fantry. He split the column in two, his dragons sabering to right and left, till at last to save themselves from utter de- strnction the Austrians threw down their arms and surrendered, but Keller mann did not stop. He rushed on the dragoons of Lichtenstein and broke them.
 At Waterloo the first charge of the English cavalry on the French position was gallantly made. The English troops cut a column of 5000 men literally to pieces and swept it from their path. Napoleon, seeing the confusion, ordered his cuirassiers 10 the attack. 4 des- perate fight followed when the two bodies of horsemen came together. At last the English were driven back, but less than one-fifth of the squadron re- gained the British lines.
 Of all cavalry charges perhaps that of tA4S itiitlAOl ldA OVd5 QuItHS lUc Wal Ol the Crimea, is the most famous. It was the result of foolish order, and it was as unnecessary as it was heroic, for it entailed only useless slaughter Of brave men.
 When the order came Lord Cardigan led his troops down the open valley, where they were cruelty exposed to the fire of artillery and infantry in frontt and on both Hanks. Thus they were as sailed for the whole distance of their tragic ride. The fire of the cannon and rifles almost destroyed the brigade. Less than 200 men survived the charge.
 X charge quite as heroic as that of tie 600 was made by Gen. Ere mont,s bodyguafd near Springfield, Mo, in the first year of the civil war. Maj. zagonyi, with 15o of his troops, found the town in possession of q con- federate force of 2,oo0 men. The body
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-06-26

guard had made forced march of 50 miles in F hours. It had never been under fire, and men and horses were almost exhausted But when Zagonyi explained the situation to his little command and asked them whether they wanted to fight or turn back there was only one answer-they asked to be led forward.
 The confederates formed in line of battle on the edge of a wood. To charge them the guard was compelled to ride down long, narrow lane exposed to fire from three sides. They went through this ordeal, men falling at every step, dismounted, tore down a high rail fence, led their horses over in the face of the enemy's fire, re- mounted, formed and charged. The engagement lasted but a few minutes, but it was attended by an appalling loss of life
 What was the most important caval- ry action of the entire civil war took place in June, 1863, at Brandy Station. The confederate force was 12,000 men, while the feGerals numbered about 15,- o0o. The fight was unique in that both sides fought on foot and with their rifles for the most part, though this was varied at times by most gallant charges and counter charges.
 The line of battle extended for fully three miles along the Rappahannock. The fate of the day was finally decided by the brilliant charge made by W. H. Lees and Jones brigade through the woods on the federal right.

 No young woman is strictly up to date without a red, white and blue tie of some description. The most common of the patriotic ties is a four-in-hand of ribbon, striped in the three colors. One and a half yards are required for the four-in-hand, and if the ends are to be fringed yard and three-quarters will not be too much. It is not a Giffi- cult matter to fringe the ends. It is a good plan to have some knotted fringe to look at while fringing ones tie, but with the pattern it is comparatively easy.
 Tiny bow ties with flag ends are less expensive, if not quite so yoluminously patriotic.

 One is the navy cap, with the visor worn by officers aboard ship. It goes we'll with the military suits which many boys are wearing now.
 Another is the Napoleon hat, with cocllade and feathers, which looks like something military, even if it does not belong to this country.
 The other is the marine cap of the "navvies,' and is just now inscribed with the fayorite warship of the one who wears or buys it.
