The Anslo-Saxon and the Russian.

Agriculture is still the chief indus
try of Russia, but manufactures are
forging rapidly to the front. The
peasants still till the soil with crude
instruments fashioned by their own
hands and thrash the grain with old
fashioned fails, but in spite Of this
fact Russia manages to produce more
grain than any other country in the
world, with the exception of the United
States. Who can predict what she
will do when the modern agricultural
implements gain q foothold on the vast
Asiatic steppes and those virgin wastes
are peop!ed with thriving husband
men? What will the United States do
with a competitor of this sort? There
is no doubt that with the magnificent

She Ordered the Governor About.

Sick soldiers are constantly passing
through Washington, aud number of
women who live here have left their
homes to administer to the soldiers,
and furnish them with the delicacies
which are not supplied by the govern
ment. These women enter the trains
apdrerform the duties of nurses, which
tie government in many instances
failed to supply.
When New Jersey regimentpassed
through rece tly one of these women
noticed a soldier who seemed to have
but short time to live and endeavored
to cheer his few remaining hours.
She needed a basin of water to wash
the face Of the suffering soldier, and
seeing man dressed in citizens at
tire standing near ordered him to
bring it to her. He obeyel the order
with alacri1v, and several times was
ordered to ':bring more water" which
he did cheerful!y. When the train
was about to depart the woman
thanked the citizen for his services
and inquired who he was. Much to

Children with Nerves.

A word about nervous children. Of
course there might be none. but
there are thousands. Never scold
them nor 'smake fun of them. They
suffer enough without your threats OF
sarcasm. Pretend not to see their
awkwardness when in company nor
their grimances when alone. A case
was discussed the other day of boy
of ten years old, who, on being vexed,
and often without any apparent prov
ocation, will clench his hands and
make the most frightful contortions of
the muscles OF his face and head. His
poor mother fears he is idiotic. By
no means. He is the brightest boy in
his class at school, fond of reading
and of natural history, but he is of a
highly nervous temperament, and has
not been taught to control the little
wires, so to speak, on which he is
hung. This is no single case. There
are thousands of children who give
way to their nerves in like fashion.
Talk to them about these curious little
fellows that should be their servants,
not their masters. Never chastise
them. The man or woman who whips
8 nervous child is on level with
brutes that have no reason. Encourage
them. Help them. Be patient with
them. They are the making of our
successful men and women, for they
will work hard at whatever they un-
dertake. Brace up your own nerves
first and then be indulgent toward the
capers Of your oyernervous children.

The Porter at San Juan.

At the bombardElent of San Jua1l
the Porter toohszIare prominent pau
than was either intended OF desires
but, fortunately, escaped without
harm. From all information that had
been obtained, it was understood that
no guns were mounted on the wall to
the eastward Of the Moro. To this
apparently safe station the Porter was
ordered, being directed to remain
there during the bombardment, pre-
pared to torpedo any armored vessel
that came out Of San Juan entrance.
The assigned position was taken, and
the first round Of the attacking vessels
was completed, when the wall that
was supposed to be without guns de-
veloped strong and active battery.
AS the attacking ships were then max
ing the turn out at sea preparatory to
returning for the second round, the
little Porter occupied a position OF
undue prominence, and in conse-
quence received the attention of this
battery, directly under which she lay.
1t is hard to understand how such a
storm of projectiles could have missed
her; but it was not chance to be
riskel second time, and before the
battery could fire again the Porter was
turning out at full speed, firing back
with her one-pounGers, and swallowed
up in q cloud of black smoke from hel
own tunnels. 1t was a narrow escape;
and it was evident our report Of "ne
damage and no casualties" was re-

deed, it was owing to the sorrows and
misfortunes she suffered. Her daugh-
ter died few days ago, aad her
brother was accidentally killed some
hours afterward These calamities,
instead OF arousiag sympathy, only
led to a belief by the villagers that
she cast her evil eye on them, because,
knowing her own departure was at
hand. she did not wish to leave them
behind. The poor old woman had

Fashion for the Hair.

All the reports concerning the down
fall OF the elevated coifure seem to
have been without foundation. The
hair is still worn perched high on the
head, and by the French women higher
than ever. The knot just below the
crown of the head is also worn, but
the chiguon at the nape of the neck is
rarely seen. A pretty comb is the
only decoration at the back, just be-
low the high knot, and some attempt
at headdress is the feature Of evening
coihures. 1t has not yet attained the
dimensions of the .otd-fIme specimens,
h-+.e.-1o Of the lewelled aigrettes now
look like miniature shrubs.
There are jeweled wings in black,
white and colors, lace wings with
white aigrettes, aud various arrange
ments of flowers with loops and ends
of ribbon drawn in shell shape and
towering seven inches high. A cres-5
cent of violets around the high tnot,
the widest part at the top, is very
pretty, with bow and ends of white
or violet eolored ribbon at one side.
Dandelion blossoms gone to seed are
another decoration fastened in the
hair with a little bow of velvet.
Pompons made of ribbon to match
the costume are another variety of
hair ornament, and jewelled butter
flies, which are to be had in all colors,
and prices between Sl.50 and SIS,
are an exquisite hair ornament.
The mode of hairdressing which
makes the head look as round as pos
sible is very desirable, and the double
knot just below the crown will often
accomplish this. It goes without say
ing that the hair is waved all around
IN wide, loose waves.-New York Sun.

Admiral Dewey's Personality,

Admiral Dewey quite well," said Mr..
George B. Allison of Washington, D.
c., to a reporter of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. "How does he
look?" Well, imagine dapper little
man, always modishly dressed, with
iron gray hair, kept close cut and a
gray moustache rolled to a point at
each end. His manners are courtly,
and he has a habit of inclining his
head to one side in conversation, due,
T believe, to slight deafness in the
right ear. He is very fond of the So
ciety Of young people, and while sta
toned at the capitol was as popular
with the Washington bellies as any
beau in the city. A stranger unac-
quainted with his history would proba-

forms of elegant diversion, but on all
matters touching his profession one is

old sailors that he is the greatest mas

persist in squeezing ones hand upon

he is stamp collector, but that is un-

Spansled Stockings.

A letter just received by one of the
girls from Paris tells Of the most mar
relous ''nouveauties" in the way Of
stockings. Not stockings to be worn
in the street, or in the daytime at all,
in fact, but stockings to be worn with
slippers in the evening only. They are
Of silk or Isle thread and very much
open worked over the ankle and in
step. Sewed en-, running lengthwise,
are spangles aud beads, which gradu-
ate in size from the slipper top to the
end of the open work, tue largest at
the bottom, the smallest at the top.
They are very expensive, costing, even
in Paris, from S. to $40 pair. The
spangles and beads are generally in
silver aud gilt, but can be in colors
as we'll, to correspond with the color
of the gown with which they are worn.
Black stockings look the best when
spangled, but they come also in all
pale shades and even in bright red.
Zone of the best things about these
beautiful stockings is, "this girl writes
from Paris, ''that for just about half
what they are selling them at the mo-
distes aud in the shops you can make
them yourself" It cannot lie difficult
to sew the spangles on, and certainly
the effect must be lovely. Girls who
want to look chic this winter would
better take the hint and get to work
spangling. What with. painting their
gowns, sewing spangles on their
stockings and decorating their mantel-
pieces, the girls will have busy time
this winter if they want to be orna-
mental by learning to be useful

Fashions Fancy.

Fancy silk and mohair braid in open
embroided patterns,in narrow widths,
are seen in the new trimmings.
Velvets are to be popular-velvet
plain, miroired in fancy colors, polka
dotted, with the royal tinish in black
and white and velvet pressed in an
alligator skin design.
Polka dotted effects appear upon
new silks and fancy satins, on laces,
pleated net and chiffon neck trim
mings, velvet ribbons and black and
colored velvets and white and colored
chenille.
Hoods for evening wear have made
their appearance i'll the shops. They
are made Of quantity lowered silk and
lined with satin, turning back from
the face after the manner of the old
time sunbonnet.
A peculiar feature Of dressy cos
tunes is their arrangement in such a
fashion that they can be worn over
guimpe; therefore milady may go de-
collete or in high cut dress with
long sleeves if it please her.
Threads of silver and gold in stuffs
and laces brighten many gowns this
season. Just tiny thread of gold in
the white lace forming the blouse to
gown is pretty, and stripe of silver
or gold gives an added richness to
velvet.
Strappings Of black silk with
narrow knotted braid on either edge
are one Of the modish trimmings for
cloth gown; also applique designs of
white cloth outlined with an embroid-
cred stitch in silk matching the color
of the gown to which they are ap-
piled.

Heirlooms for 4he Next Generation.


Gowns that will be worthy of pre-

are those made this season of the new
evening silks and satins. In the days
of Louise XIV such imperially beauti-
full fabrics were not dreamed of as
Cotele dor, satin sultane and tafeta
broquete. The first mentioned is a
thick silk with broad bayadere ribs
of satin crossing it at short intervals.
Such quality and body has this goods
that the ordinary tafeta lining seems
like tissue paper under it, while satin
sultane is duchesse satin increased in
beauty and richness tenfold, and

fabrics, dyed q solid color, are the
truly exquisite figured and embossed

miration they receive. Over milk

the flowers are closely massed in broad

ORIGIN OF FOOTBALL.
GROWTH OF THE GAME DURING
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.

It rs Now the Most Popular Sport, With
| the Possible Exception of Golf, in the
/ United States-The Game Was Never
Gentle-Footballers as Soldiers.
In America today. the most popular
sport among the classes is, with the
possible exception of golf. football,
and it's origin must alwayaDe mat
ter of speculation. A writer tells us
that the football game, (which is one
, of the most interesting and popular
of sports,'' is one of the oldest games
extant, that it was originated in Italy
in the sixteenth century. and was in
vogue until the year 1870, when its
popularity subsided.
The real origin of football remains
mystery, upon which few historians
care to go on record.
Away back in time, we find that
"Nausicaa of the white arms was en-
gagged with her maidens playing a
game of ball when Odyssey first put
in an appearance. Several centuries
afterward games were played in Eng
land with inflated balls, called the
bollis. They were of q character not
calculated to impress upon the mind
OF the spectator a complete idea of
mildness aad gentleness. Later on
in England Edward II may be found
discoursing upon 'hustllrg over great
balls' as a very dangerous pastime,
and one noxious to the nation. In
1903, Manchester EnglanW has
series of football games, and it is re-
corded that after each contest the
town was devoid of glass in the win
dows. Along about this time it was
Sir W. Davenant, according to Max
Pemberton, who remarked that foot
ball vas not very conveniently
civil sport" Strut, when asked his
opinion on the so-called football of
the day, wrote: "Ihe exercise being
exceedingly violent, the players kick
each others shins without ceremony,
and some are overthrown at the haz-
ard Of the limbs. %

Walter Camp: in one of his most
valuable and interesting works on
football, makes mention of the, fact
that it originated among the Greeks
and Romans in the twelfth century,
and that its progress was very seri-
ously retarded by the triumph of the
Puritans in the eighteenth century.
These deductions, while interesting,
are of course matters of small moment
so far as they relate to tie real origin
of the game, and if$its true origin

AMERICAN COURAGE.
Some of Its Striking and Peculiar Char.
acteristics.

actSrlSticS.
OF course, there are Americans and
Americans, and some of the latter are
not heroes in any sense, but the Amer
ican American is a distinctly coura-
geous individual. He does not face
death with the resigned fatalism of the
Hindoo, or the fanatic f;elzy OF the
Mohammedan. He does not go into
action on stills of rhetoric and melo-
drama that mark the Romance races.
He does not die with the stolid-
ity of the Anglo-Saxon. He has per-
haps merged the stoicism of the In
dian, the stubbornness OF the Saxon,
and the rejoicing Of the Celt, an amaz-
ing GOODNESS and an irrepressible
humor.
The curious thing is that the typi-
cal American hero is able to see the
funny side of his own death, the flaws
in his non-idolized leaders; be can
grasp the whole situation with shrewd-
ness, and yet remain so far from being
overcautious orshrinking that ne does
not count his life a penn'orth when
anything is to be gained.
When the call came for Lieut.. Hob
sons crew of six to man and sink the
Merrimac, q feat whose picturesque
ness equalled its apparently inevita-
bic fatality, there were hundreds, If
not thousands, ready and eager to
answer that call. Under the storm of
shot and shell, and with the imminent
danger of being hoisted by their own
petard, they steered the ship and sunk
her with the precision and aplomb Of
a naval review.
When Spanish projectiles thronged
the air of Manila bay, the commander
of the Boston stood on his bridge,
with his coat Of, tanning himself, and
observing that the cup OF coHee he
was taking was not properly sugared.

Instances of the absolute fearless,
homely, unrhetorical, witty behavior

bristle in history. The robust traiFs
that have made Yankee heroism and
GOODNESS a marvel and warning to
