After reading Of the brilliant exploits
OF our gallant troops at Omduriuan one
may be pardoned Tor doubling. the ex-
istence Of towards IN the British army,
says the London Mail.
Unfortunately, however, every now
and then amid the din and crash OF
battle recruit is seized with a MT OF
cowtudice, which he boldly fights
against. The attack is oftentimes
quite inexplicable and nearly always
momentary. &
Tho majority OF men arc brave by
instinct, especially when in the thick
OF a fight. Thore are, of course, cx-
captions to the rule, but generally the
feeling that the soldier is not y separ-
ate unit, but a Cog in d vast fighting
machine tends to mako even tho most
timorous stand shoulder to shoulder
with his comrades
Then the fear of being thought afraid
steels the nerves of many'a falling sol
dier, and there is no doubt that tho
dread of the contempt and Indignation
Of his follows is q most powerful stimu-
liant.
Very rarely, indeed, does a British
soldier allow fear to overcome his sense
of duty; but some old veteran will &C.
casionally admit that he has known
perhaps one such instance, and inreply
to the question, 4 How is it we never
read of such cases?" hc will answer
Zone dead man is "a small loss to a
regiment. Besides, ono man running
off may cause another 10 follow him,
and q panic may thus set in. Before
any ono has time to think about IT OF
issue an order, depend upon 1T, one oil
| his comrades, for the honor of the reg

Sir Charles Napier had an effective
method of dealing with towards. Or
one accession flying soldier was
stopped by his fellows, who were about
to shoot him, when the general inter

"Give the man another chance" hi
ordered. "Place him in the front rank
and if he turns again let him be shot.
The man eagerly embraced this
chance for life, overcame his fears and
fought bravely for the rest OF. the day
Bravery is sometimes largely duo L
mere lack Of sensibility.
''There goes the bravest man in thu
army" said the old Kaiser wilhelm Oh
the battlefield Of Sadowa, as pal
young officer chenred his luen on to tn
charge. He is terribly afraid of beini
shot, and he Knows it; but then he love
his duty and country more than his per
sonal safety, and that is what make
him lead his men on SO calamity

aUaa1xG I'm rIm CHAINS.
The Latest Fad Among Women of the
Fashionable Set.
phiindnli,lin. kacnrd.


Women hugging their chains may be
seen at all fashionable assemblies; also
sometimes in. the street. The chains
are of gold in exquisitely fine work
manship, and when thrown over the
neck, extending from shoulders to
waist, afford excellent opportunity for
display of the jewels with which they
are often studded. The latest elegance
in this line is gold chain set at inter-
walls with beautiful pearls of different
colors. Pink pearls are rare and pre-
cious, but don't come near the fabu-
lous prices asked for black pearl.
Black pearls are pearls which have
been struck by lightning, and to be
perfect they must just be struck enough,
for if tho bolt Or shaft is too strong
the oyster shell OPENS, and the pearl
gets lost, while IL not strong enough
the electrical shock gives them mud
color. Practically the black pearls are
really gray.
One gold chain possessed by Phila-
delphia woman, in which there are
white, pink, yellow, blue and one black
pearl, cost S275. This is not more beau
| tifnl than chain of opals possessed by
| the lady's sister. The, opals are round
in shape and show all the colors of the
rainbow as the light shines upon them.
These chains have been struggling
into favor for three or four years past
but as plain gold chains they did moi
find general adoption. As soon, how
ever, as the idea of stringing jewels OF
them was suggested ladies began tc
like them. The impetus given to thei
sale by the recent acquisition Of Asiati'
possessions is only a coincidence.

This delightful CONNECTION which is
know yariously as fudge z ..chocolate
fudge, and "Vassar fudge'' is made
in the following simple manner; Put
in a porcelain lined saucepan two cups
of granulated sugar. four sections of
unsweetened chocolate tbrolsen into
bits), two heaping tablespoonfuls Of
butter, and one cup of milk. Cook all
together, stirring constantly to prevent
burning, for 20 minutes. At the end
of that time dip ont alittle OF the mix
ture and try 1t by putting iton cold
plate. If it is done " will form q soft
yet friable paste. Flavor the contents
of the saucepan with vanilla, beat hard
for few minutes, and turn the
fudge" into greased candy-pans. Gut
into squares while warm. Many per-
sons cat this popular delicacy while
still hot, at which time tits particu-
larly delicious; but before venturine
upon this daring act one must be very
certain as to the enduring powers Of
his digestive apparatus. - Harper's

stream, more than 500 miles long, and
receives the waters of the Bahr ell Arab,
Bahr Dembo and other streams. Tho
country of the same name is the region
drained by that river and its tribu-
taries. 1t lies in the heart of the con-
tinent, at the southern edge of the

diately north If the Congo Free State.
1t is in form triangle, with one side
extending along tho Nile from Mokren-

Two German investigators, NM. Elm
horn and Heintz, have lately discovered
u new anesthetic which they call oroth-
form. 1t belongs to the group of aro-
matte cmideothers, and is light
crystalline white powder, tasteless,
odorless and of weak solubility. With
acids in forms soluble salts, which are
also anesthetic, but too irritating to be
employed locally on mucous mem
branes. Applied in powder or ONT
ment to wound or raw surface, ortho-
form renders them insensible--a fact
confirmed by repeated clinical observa-
ton. In extensive burns, especially,
orthoform allays the seyerest pains in u
few minutes, andthe relief endures for
hours. Being non-poisonous, there is
no danger in reapplying it as often as
it may be required after the first
effect has ceased. Thus, in a case of
liberated cancer of the face, where
constant and excrutiating pain rendered
sleep impossible, orthoform TO the
amounts altogether of 50 grammes, was
busted over the sore for whole week.
Pain ceased, and no i'll effects followed.
The remedy is equally safe and effectual
when administered internally as an
anodyne in cancer of the stomach.
Moreover, it is powerful antiseptic.
| Orthoform has no effect on the I'M
broken skin, but owing to its decided
1 action upon mucous membranes, may
prove valuable as q local anesthetic

sANTI4G0's SERVANTS.
Not Perfection, ann With Peculiar Style

Our servants match the kitchen to
It, says writer in the st, Louis
Globe Democrat. They are elderly ne

and, like mother birds, they nightly

of food not carefully locked up in tho
wardrobe. Their everyday costume is
distinctive, if not appropriate. 1t con-
sists of single voluminous white
skirt, very short in front and trailing
far behind, with low-nccked bodice
and short, pulled sleeves, leaving the
skinny arms bare to the houlder. The
front of the corsage is deliberately cm-
broidered and secured by a string ut
the top, tied SO loosely, it tied at ALL

woolly heads, gray with the weight of
years, arc topped with gaudy turbans;
the bare feet are thrust into slippers
OF white canvas, and when my lady
walks abroad she covers her gaping
back with bedraggled white silk
shawl. Both women consider them
selves monuments of virtuous industry
in consenting to lend helping hand
to las Americanas, for could they not,
like all their neighbors, be well fed
without work so long as Cuban relief
supplies hold out? But they are not

labor. When not sitting in the FIR mt

WASHINGTON. Sept. o, 1898.
I Gag the soldiers and ~whmewash
every Official, is the rem ,rkable
policy that has been adopted by the
administration in dealing with all
complaints made as TO htrdsmps
caused by mismAn cement and in
efficiency in providing supplies for
the troops. IL would hardly have
been possible to have adopted "a
more foolish policy. The mouths
OF the men can only be stopped
while they remain IN the service /;
as soon as they are mastered out
they will tell everything they we're
made to suffer. The idea of those
who persuaded Mr.. Mckinley to
adopt such'a shortsighted policy is
b keep the mismanagemeat,of the.
War Department from figuring IN
the congressional campaign. They
think that when Congress meets
arrangements can be made to have
an Investigation Of the conduct Of
the war make by a picked commit
tee that will whitewash everybody
aud everything. If the people
were all fools aud there were no
such things as newspapers such a
scheme might succeed. Mr.. Nc
Kinley IS likely to live to bitterly
regret that he did not have every
complaint investigated and every
mar punished who was found gull
ty of having caused unnecessary
suffering among the soldiers. in
stead OF allowing himself to be
made to ssum the role of apollo.
gist for and protector of the guilty
officials.
