tests such as delight the collegiate
brain were given a due place on tie

After the wants OF the intellectual
man were sufficiently satisfied the
party was treated TO a most appetiz-

or woman will ever refuse. At a
seasouable hour the guests departed
for their homes averring Miss Cornell

or OF inventing the cocktail, and this is
how it oil happened: Near Culpepper
Court House there used TO stand ar
old inn, built TO initiate the famous
roadhouses of England, and bearing
the stored sign of Cock and Bottle"
The former word in the old ~vernacul1r,
stood for the tap. The point is that
the man who got the last drink and the
muddy portion Of the tap, was said TO
have received the cocktail" Col.
Carter was once subjected to this H.
dignity, and threw the stuff upon the
floor. "Heahaftah," he said, "lll drink
cocktails of ma own connection, sah."
And, starting TO .'clean out the shop
he dashed together bitters. sugar. bits
of lemon peel and Holland gin. Great
oaks from little acorns grow, and this
was the genesis of the cocktail.

He Cleared the Gun.

Harry MacNeal, a Philadelphia boy
who was on the Brooklyn during the
naval fight off Santiago. writes to his
mother a letter in which he tells, with
becoming modesty, the story of one or
his own exploits. The letter is printed
in the Inquirer.

damned shell. Well, it was this way.
When the shell got damned In the gun,
and after Corporal Gray and the gum

gun and failed, / had just come from
where young Ellis was killed and told
the captain of Ellis's death.
The gun crew were starting to dis
mount the gun. / asked the captain
to permit me to have a try at clearing
1t. He said it was no use; that the gun
was disabled and that it would take an
hours time to dismount the gun and
eject the shell. Finally got Captain
Murphy's permission.
I pushed myself through the gun
port and reached the Jacob's-ladder
and climbed outside. The eight-incn
turret guns were fired just at the time
and the shock nearly threw me over
board. / was handed q rammer and 1
found that it would not enter the bore.

the bore. Again the big guns overhead
belched out and 1t was all that | could
do to steady myself. 1t was pretty
warm work. The Spanish inner
were not idle. Their shots were hum
ming through the air, a o~ne-pounder
shot from them going through the bow
about one yard'from me.
l finally succeeded in clearing the
gun, and she didn't go out of commits

out the fight. After l had cleared the
gun / thought that would be the last

A Touching Incident.

The tender heart that keep in its sa-
cred places the memory of a little
child, who is no longer here, finds
many things every day that rouses
that memory to life and thrill it anew.
One such occurred last summer,
when a lady got on a trolley car TO go
down town. She was dressed in VIII te
from head to foot, the purest white one
can conceive-gown, gloves, hat, veil,
all white and without blemish-except
that on the collar of the jacket there
was n black mark, as black as the rest
was white-showing the print Of a
childish hand. There II was-the little
thumb, the palm and four stumpy lin,
gers. all spread forth in token OF tie
last hug before mother left home.
Every one who saw ii smiled, and
some had dim eyes for a little WHILE

wihout Anything Feminine.

There is only II territory of any
size-and never has been but one-oc-
cupied by any considerable population
from which woman is entirely exclud-
ed. Yet such a place exists to-day, and
has existed for centuries. AS far back
as history reaches, TO all females il has
been forbidden ground. This country
without women is situated on a bold
plateau between the old peninsula of
Acte, in the Grecian archipelago, and
the mainland. Here, in the midst of
cultivated fields and extensive wood
lands. dwells a mOnastic federation OF
Greek Christians, with twenty-three
converts and Numbering more than
1000 souls. Not one of the monasterles
dates from a later time than the
twelfth century. A few soldiers guard
the borders OF the land, and no woman
is allowed to cross the frontier. Nor is
this all; the rule Is extended TO every
female creature, and from time lmine-
mortal no COW, mare, hen, duck or
goose has been permitted to enter this

Real Superiority.

1t is the first duty Of every woman
TO recognize the mutual bond of uni
versal womanhood. Let her ask her
self whether she would like TO hear
herself or her sister spoken of as q
shop girl or a factory girl or a servant
girl. II necessity had compelled her fol
a time TO be employed In any one OF
the ways indicated. If she would
shrink from it a little, then she is a liz
tie inhuman when she puts her un'
known human sisters who are so COM
PEELED. into a class by themselves. e
ing herself 80 be somewhat their su-
parior. she is really the superior per
son who has accepted her work, and Is
doing il faithfully whatever 1t is
This designating others by their casu-
al employment prevents n from max
ing real distinctions, from knowing
persons as persons. A false standard
is set up in the minds OF those who
classify and Of those who are ciassi'
fed.

ern towns of New York State. a man
died who had not lived a very good
life. His family insisted that n ser
mon be preached at the funeral, how
ever, and all due respect paid to the
dead mans memory. No minister in
town would officiate, as all were SEEM
ingly engaged. However, a retired ell
der, rich and kind-hearted, agreed to
attend. The house was filled with
neighbors, all rough and mostly igno-
rant. A short prayer was offered and
a hymn sung. Then the elder, folding
his hands in front of him, began: MY
friends, If this man was a bad man, !
have said too much: If a good man, !
have said enough. Let US pray

pine away and die from home-sickness.
Horses are more susceptible to the dis
ease than men-tnat Is, they were so
in the civil war; and I don't see any
reason to suppose that their tempera-
ments have changed since.
"of course. when a poor, four-legged
brute. with no shoulder straps. comes
down with Ii, the doctors simply report
that such and such horses in such and
such a troop are OF their feed and ret
II go at that. But ii Is precisely the
same thing, the disorder develops in
equine victims of it manifest identi-
cally the same symptoms, and, what is
more, the chances of their dying from
1t are infinitely greater than are those
OF a soldier, simply because 1t is inn
possible to bolster up their courage by
telling them they are going home soon
That Is the only medicine that Will
keep the disease in check. and, OF
course, you can't administer ii TO a
horse unless you speak its language.
Loss of appetite is the first symp-
tom. Horses that at home were the
mostly hearty feeders become dainty
and particular, and refuse to look at
anything offered to them. Then they
become restless and nervous and pound
their feet to pieces, if you don't watch
them. Two weeks will fix them gener-
ally. Working without nourishment is
as disastrous as fighting on an empty
stomach, and the beasts soon contract
a cold or a fever, and either die or are
killed.
Out of a consignment of 200 horses
sent TO the army corps with which |
was stationed in Tennessee, more than
one-third of them became absolutely
useless from sheer inconsistencies in
less than a month. Twenty or thirty
died, and the rest we disposed of as
best we could.
Another circumstance which pro-
duces the disease among army horses
is the fact that a great majority OF
them have been separated from a mate,
with whom they have been accustomed
to work for years. The moment they
realize their partner is missing, they
go into the most AFFECT mourning and
refuse to be reconciled. Time and time
again l have seen horses literally
grieve themselves to death in an army
camp because their teammate was sep
arated from them.
And when you come to think about
1T, the prevalence of the disease among
army horses is the most reasonable
thing in the world. AS is the case
with the volunteers, a great majority
or the wal horses come from the coun-
try. They were bred and raised in the
country, and until they were drafted
into the service they spent their days
In the restful quiet of the farm. The
government prefers to buy country
horses both for political reasons and
because the animals are more likely
to be free from the pavement soreness
n other disorders which affiict city
horses. 1t also has its buyers select
animals pretty well along in years
anywhere from five to nine years old.
When these rustic beasts are torn
suddenly from their rustic homes ana
plunged into the hustle and confusion
of camp life, it affects them just as it
does their masters who have enlisted.
Most natural thing in the world that
1T should, because both have been
brought up in the same way"
