The ancient Greeks lived almost
their entire lives out of doors. Their
artificial environment, their houses,
their dress and their food was not such
that it required the major part of their
energy to secure it. Thus leisure was
afforded for the cultivation for the in
tellect and the Greeks, largely through
the conditions of their climate, became
the teachers of the world. Before
them the Egyptians, in the valley of
the Nile, under soft skies and in the
mild climate of that favored rdgion,
were the creators and preservers of
intellectual riches that have descended
to our own times. The Romans, in
Southern Europe, had reached high
state and civic and intellectual devel-
opment while the TRIBES of Northern
Europe. who had not learned how to
so build and warm their houses as to

wild breasts something of the cruelty
that nature showed them in their long
cold winters.

A STIRRING BAYONET CHARGE.
How n Handful of British Soldiers Scat
tered n Russian Army.

How a Handful of British Soldiers Scat
tered Russian Army.
At Inkerman Russian column
climbed from the gloomy depth of
Quarry Ravine, relates writer in the
Cornhill Magazine, and swung slightly
to the left, so as to avoid the stubborn
resistance offered by the Thirtieth, and
then moved up between the post road
and the Sandbag battery. 1t was met
by wing of the Twentieth counting
1S0 men under Colonel Horn. The
Twentieth instantly advanced firing.
The Russian line Immediately in front
of them seemed to crumble under their
fierce volleys, but the fanks were
obstinate, and the mass seemed to
thrust out huge lateral claws, so to
speak, along the fanks of the Twen-
tieth, so that they found themselves
in concave of fire. At that moment
their own ammunition gave ont!
Nothing Throughout this Homeric
fight, however, is more wonderful than
the eager promptitude with which the
British-no matter with what inferior
ity of numbers would fling them
selves in bayonet charge on the foe.
The Twentieth cherish a particularly
hideous yell, known as the "Minden
yell;" it ran a wave of ear-splitting
sound down the front of the regiment,
and the men instantly leaped forward
with the bayonet, cleft the mass be-
fore them in twain, and drove it, con-
fused and broken, down the hillside.
The right battalion of the Russian
column, however, still stood massive
and undestroyed, higher up on the
shoulder of the ridge, and against this
moved wing of the Fifty-seventh, 200
strong, who had just come into the
fight, led by their captain, Stanley.
The Fifty-seventh was one of the fa-
nous fighting regiments" of the Pen
insular war; it won the name of ''the
Die Hards" at Albuera; and Stanley
turned the warlike traditions of the
regiment to useful purpose. Just as
the bayonets fell to the charging level,
he shouted. "Men, remember AL
buera!" Stanley himself fell mortally
wounded, but the impulse of his shout
sent the line of the Fifty-seventh for
ward in charge which finally cleared
the whole of what was called the Home
Ridge. Where else in the history of
battles can we find such amazing ex-
amples of the overthrow of the many
by the few?

Father Leaves Him $50, 900.

Thomas Palmer, of Priceburg, q
small mining town, near Carbondale,
Penn. inherits $4,000 by the death
Of his father, in Canada, year ago.
The father came to America many
years ago and settled in Canada. His
family in England never heard from
him, and it was generally believed
that he was dead. His son came to
Pennsylvania few years ago and
settled in Priceburg. Several months
ago, in a casual talk with an acquaint-
ance who had travelled in Canada, he
learned that man who he had reason
to believe was his father lived in small
town near Toronto. Last summer
young Palmer went to this town, and,
while walking in front of the mansion
where he was told his father lived, he
met an old man who, seeing Palmer
look closely about the place, inquired
his business. 1t was soon told, and
then there was joyful meeting

STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkhan. !

Mrs. JOIN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how l suffered before
taking your remedies. was so weak
that could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. had womb trouble
and such bearing-down feeling also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, Inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before had
taken one bottle of Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound felt great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St.,
Warren, Pa, writes: -S 3'TN -
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. 1 had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
1 had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. 1 had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast l would feel as
though I was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I conld not do any
thing.
81 have now taken several uot-
ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta BILE
Compound, and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I am perfectly cured. do not think
I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink

advantages. 1t does not fade and as
a rule takes starch well, which those
made of too soft gingham refuse to do.
On the other hand, white is not so be-
coming generally as some of the soft
shades, and it is especially trying in
thick cotton goods, such as are used in
the swell waist Most women who.
last season, tried shirt waists made OF
washable silk say that they will never
wear cotton ones again. The silk
waists seem extravagant to one who
looks no further than first cost, for
silk at less than seventy-five cents or
81 yard cannot be depended upon to
wash well. But such silk wears at
least three seasons and does not fade
in the least. Added to this, it has
the merit of being soft, cool and be-
coming, and is to be had in the most
exquisite colorings. The plain silks
make quite dressy waists, while those
that are striped have no end OF style.

arrange things, you know. That will
be the best way, for it is silly to pre-
tend you aren't in love with him."
''Shall really write?" said Maud,
with show of hesitation.
Certainly; here are the paper and
pen and everything. Write it here,
and I'll send Jane to the post with it
at once"
Maud succumbed to her friends de-
termination and wrote carefully
worded note to Mr.. Stratton, in which
she gently reproached him for not
having been to see her mother and
herself lately, and she said how glad
they would be if he came to lunch on
the following Sunday.
Phyllis was satisfied with it, and
rang the bell for the maid. ''Now.
darling, everything will come right,
she said. GLOW happy he'll be! I
may call him George, too, mayn't I?"
Maud blushed and said she supposed
she might, and just then the servant
came in.
''Take this to the post at once,
please, Jane" said Phyllis.
''Yes, miss, and this letter has just
come for you," answered the maid.
Phyllis took the letter and the girl
left the room with Maud's note.
Whom is yonr letter from? seem
to know the writing" said Maud.
''Only from Ethel Jervis- Carter;
she does write to me sometimes about
nothing in particular, answered Phyl
lis. She had not read many lines of
the letter before she gave little cry
of dismay.
"What's the matter?" asked Maud,
seeing her emotion.
Nothing, stammered Phyllis. Sat
least, nothing interesting, and don't
believe it's true"
Don't be silly, Phyllis; tell me
what it is"
There; read it'' said Phyllis, and
Maud read:
''You will be glad to hear of my en-
gagement to George Stratton; you and
Maud know him, so you will under
stand how happy / am. We hope to
be married soon Maud read no
more; she was very pale.
Thanks" she said, giving the paper
back; SITS very interesting.
'1'm so horribly sorry" began
Phyllis.
For having made fool of me? You
ought to be, said her friend stonily.
81 never meant" said Phyllis.
''You made me write that wretched
note; l never shall forgive YOU" said
Maud, drawing on her gloves and ris
ing from her chair with the air of
casting the dust of her friends house
from her feet.
cit was mere suggestion, Phyllis
pleaded.
''It was extremely bad taste"
''But you agreed with me"
''No; it was entirely your doing"
answered Maud. However, of course,
it does not really affect me at all -
''Of course not, said Phyllis.
Maud swept out of the room, went
home and wrote second note to Mr..
Stratton to congratulate him on the
delightful news she had just heard,
and would he bring Ethel with him to
lunch on Sunday?
Phyllis remorsefully resolved that
she would never again try to provide
consolation for desolate friends.

A Basque For stout Women.

The steel grey broadcloth, May Man
ton design shown in the large engrav-
ing, is stylishly made up with an ap-
piled vest portion of black guipure
over white satin, the closing in centre
front being accomplished with small
round crystal buttons.
Guipure lace employed in this way
over some bright color OF white, is d
feature of the incoming styles that is
decidedly becoming to women of full
proportions, Other basques in this
style have the vest covered with braid
ing in scroll or vervicilli design, or
brocaded satin and silk are sometimes
used as a simpler and less expensive
method than either of the afore-men-
toned.
This basque while generally becom-
ing is especially designed to meet the
requirements of stout women, the
graceful pointed outline, the narrow
vest and pointed revers that roll back
from the fronts giving the best pos
sible lines to counteract the tendency
to embonpoint.
The two scanned sleeves are ar
ranged over close-ftted Innings, the
moderate fulness now allowed by
fashion being disposed in gathers at
the upper edge.
A standing collar finishes the vest
while the rolling collar meets the
lapels in notches. A tailor finish of
machine stitching is given to the
lapels, collar, wrist and lower edge,
but braid, gimp or other decoration
may be substituted. The lapels and
collar may also be faced with velvet,
satin, poplin or other contrasting ma

LITTLE FOUNTAIN BOY
FOUND.

From FL Paso Times.
/ A letter was received by a party
il this city Sunday from George
Bunting at Jarlllas telling Of an al
legged discovery at the mouth OF
Owl Tank canyon that if true may
prove OF tho most momentuous
consequence.
On Friday last young man EN-
ployed at Fetcber's ranch in the
Jatillas, was out hunting antelope
and IN the pursuit wandered far
into the most desolate and least
visited part Of the mountains.
here be WAS horrliied by sud
denly coming upon human
skeleton bleached in the sun. 1t
was the skele on of a child appar
emily about eight or ten years old
Shreds of clothing found near by
showed il to hav. been the form Of
boy The fiesh had all been
gnawed and torn off by buzzard-
and coyotes leaving the bones bare.
The manner OF the chlid's death
Was proven to have been violent
one by the fact that the skuH wac
completely crushed in az if by
heavy blow.
Horrliied by his CHASTITY find the
young man hurried back to the
ranch and told Mr. Fletcher. The
news soon spread over the sur
rounding country and party Wis
tied the place to view the remains
The question at once arose as to
who the child was aud how he came
TO be there Only one answer sug.
gested itself That was that the
little body was that of Col. Fount-
aims little son Henry. supposed to
have been murdered. together with
his father. three years ago. For
years the friends and the officers
have sought in vain for some trace
Of their remains. The discovery.
il true, will settle the fact OF their
death beyond dispute and greatly
the work OF the officers in
their efforts to solve the m mystery
surrounding the affair.
The spot where the discovery is
alleged to have been made is one Of
the most isolated in the long $50
lated Jarilla mountains. The let
ter does not say whether or not the
body appeared to have been buried
