Our Tennessee Boys.

In the Easter Examiner of San Fran
cisco, Miss Muriel Bailey, correspond
ent, who was in the midst of the battles
at Malati, PAGES and Caloocan, writes
full-page letter describing the scenes
she witnessed. The following lines are
of especial interest to the Tennesseans
"All the way from SingalOn to Malate
we met those carts until | grew to shut
my eyes from the horror, and all along
the way we met the wounded being
carried in, as patient and uncomplain-
ing as their litter bearers. The Ten
nessee battalion, weary and dusty from
its twelve hours in the trenches, came
along the narrow road cheering and
content. / think those Southern lads
were born into fighting. In closing,
Miss Bailey says: "These wondrous
boys of ours! How l wish you could
have seen them as | did-those of you
whose hearts are yearning with tender
ness for loved ones! How you would
honor them and love them and thank
God for their coming into the world.
How smaller sins of earth one can for
give in the face of such courage and un-
daunted heroism! l am proud to be an
American for their sakes."

USEFULNESS.

Those mighty herculean tasks
We dream of in our youth,
Are not the things the Maker asks
OF lives to prove their truth;
For grand results are oftener wrOugh t
In processes of time,
By constant and unselfish thought,
Than by some act sublime.
We must not wait to do great deeds
Which all the world shall see;
Our part is just to SOW small seeds,
And God will grow each tree.
Look not to see the branches MOUNT
Just leave it with the Lord;
Who tolls for God and keeps account,
Shall never reap reward.
We must not wait for heaps of gold,
Before we give to need.
The warmest hearts grow hard and
cold,
When once they practice greed.
God makes no bargains, waits no plan,
Accepts no poor excuse;
But every day asks every man
To be of some small use.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

ton. The waist, which fits tightly
in the back, is rather loose in front,
and Las a square yoke effect, encir-
cled by o rufil4 of the guipurs lace.
The lace also edges the fronts of the
waist, and falls in a jabot on either
side Of Il very narrow tucked front
of pink Liberty silk. There is a rib
bon belt of pink silk, and tied in at
the wrists are little bows of pink
silk showing through the lace ruff
fles. A very fine grass linen with
no color is made up over a light
green lining. This is trimmed down
the front breadth with rows of lace
insertion. The back is plain, rather
on the circular. skirt effect, with no
fulness in the back at all, except
where it flares out at the bottom,
but the long pettcoat is made wit
very full rutfle tlounce, and Is so
wide that 1t looks full and yet cling
ing. The waist is almost tight fit
ting, quite tight fitting at the
back aud sides, and in front is
trimmed with lace barbe that
down the front of the waist, and then
is slipped through two bands of the
linen, the ends falling down over
the waist on to the skirt. This waist
has vest Of green Liberty silk very
finely pleated. A dark blue linen,
almost like a lawn-it is so light in
Weights a very attractive gown
for travelling or for hard wear. 1t is
trimmed with bands Of red and
white Russian embroidery; the
waist is cut in an Elton jacket with
long pointed fronts, the fronts one
mass Of the Russian embroidery, land
there is vest of red crepe cloth.
This is a very curious combination,
and is made still more curious by a
little row of gilt buttons down the
front of the jacket.-Harper's Ba-
Zaar.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS.
n Bird That Lived Fifty-TwO Years
without Tasting Water; Snakes
Never Close Their Ey+s.

The oldest living creature in the world
belongs to Walter ROthschild. 1t is a
giant tortoise, weighing quarter of a
ton, and it has known life of $50 years
One of the longest lived birds Oh rec
ord died recently in London. 1t was a
parrot named Ducky, the property of
the Prince of Wales, and was century
and quarter old. Up to eighty years
of age elephants are useful members of
society.
Some animals can live many years
without water. y parOquet lived fifty
two years in the London Zoo without
tasting drop of water. A number of
reptiles live and prosper in places where
there is no water.
That sleeping or waking, snakes new
er close their eyes is a curious fact
When cameleon is bindfolded it
loses all power of changing it's color,
and its entire body remains of a uni
form tint.
The lantern fly Of Surinam, South
America, has two sets of eyes, so as to
catch the light from all directions. 1t is
much more brilliant than our FREELY.
Ants have brains larger in proportion
to the size of their bodies than any
other living creature.
There are several varieties of fish that
can not swim. In every instance they
are deep sea dwell ers, and crawl about
the rocks, using their tails and fins as
legs.
There are three varieties of the dog
that never bark-the Australian dog,
the Egyptian, shepherd dog and "ilon-
headed" dog of Thibet,
The elephant has 10000 muscles in
his trunk alone, while man has only
577 in his entire body.
In China carrier pigeons are protect
ed from birds Of prey by an ingenious
little apparatus consisting Of thin bam-
boo tubes fastened to the birds bodies
with thread passed beneath the wings.
AS the pigeon flies the action of the air
passing through the tubes produces a
shrili whistling sound which keeps
birds of prey at a distance.
The land crabs of Cuba ran with great
speed, even outstripping a horse.
1t takes snail exactly fourteen days
and five hours to travel IA mile.
The California woodpecker will carry
an acorn thirty miles to store it.
The heron seldom flaps his wings at
a rate of less than 120 to $50 times
minute. This is counting only the
downward strokes, so that the birds
wings really make from 240 to 300 dis
tiDct movements a minute.
The dragon fly can fly backward and
sidelong, and can alter its course on the
instant without turning.
1t is estimated that there are 81 900
horses in the world; 1876, 100000 cattle
and 434 100000 sheep.
There are oyer 5000 animals in the
London Geological garden.

From out the country spaces cool and
clear
We Hash into the maze of city streets.
What pageant tins that straightway
doth appear?
What lana of fairy that our vision
greets?
A feas of lights! And as we roll along,
AS ID each one some lovely dancer
held,
They Intervene as to some choric
Which from the dark mysterously
welled;
70 whose soft tune the dancers round
and round
Move in rapture tremulous and in
tense,
With languorous PAGES that make faint
est sound
And ever duller and more drOwsy
sense.
The dancing lghts Too lingeringly
ga2ed
On their warm motions, till as one
who reels
When by some beauteous, binding
vision daZed,
And then, back to himself returning,
feels
Right glad of heart so, then, it was
with me
AS, looking up, | saw the heavens
calm
Shedding the light of stars so silently
That on my heart that stiffness fell
like balm.
Far off and cool, EACH in his perfect
sphere,
Held, as if motioness, his awful way
Star unto star discoursing crystal
AS when they sang creations primal
lay.
All me! would that when the dane
ing lights
OF hayward passion seek my soul to
sway
With their wild motion, from those
meaner sights
might be strong to turn my eyes
away
70 where tn eternal stars so purely
shine
Truth, Beauty, Good-and by that
vision blest-
lifting my heart to make its clearness
mine,
Taste then, earth-bound, the everlast-
rest

The habit of suspicion usually
dominates us before long, unless we
resist it successfully. 1t is far bet
ter to be imposed upon now and then,
and to suffer some real material loss,
than to become soured and over
critical, to have ones whole life
rendered miserable by the convic-
tiOn that confidence cannot be given,
that promises Will not be kept, that
homer Is delusion. He who thinks
no evil of others will find his trust
abundantly justified in most in
stances. Men are not wholly given
ever to evil. Deception and trick
cry do notrule the world, and never
will. Let it not be forgotten that to
think no evil often is the surest way
to stimulate an evil-minded person
TO what is honorable and right
GOngregationalist.

If you are supremely Indifferent

HOW TO WASH YOUR FACE.
Here's a Way That viii Insure a Girl a
Good Complexion.

Here's a Way That VIII Insure Girl a
Good Complexion.
Telling girls How to be Pretty
Though Plain" Mrs. Humphry, in
the April Ladies Home Journal,
guarantees any girl good complex
ion who will wash her face every
night and morning, and twice a dey
besides, according to her directions:
The water must not be quite cold
in winter, and soap should be used
but once day. The fingers are bet
ter than any sponge or glove or fan
mel, and they should be used as the
masseuse uses hers, pressing them
firmly but gently into the skin, and
passing them two or three times over
every inch of the face. More partic.
ular pains should be devoted to
the corners, where dust is always
liable to lodge, around the eyes,
nose and mouth. If a washcloth
is used it should be of the sOftest
and finest, and plenty of water
should be applied after the soap so
as to wash it all away. The drying
process should be equally thorough
and effectual, hurried rub opening
the way to all sorts of TOughnesses
and chappings. Not one girl in
twenty knows how TO wash her face
and that is the reason why massage
tiOurishes. 1t Thoroughly cleanses."

breadth, for the iatUed yoke fits
down over the shoulder seam.
The smart little jackets of black
silk and satin, shirred and tucked :,
that were introduced here last spring,
will be worn again during the spring
and summer season. This year they
are made more in the EtOn shape
that is, with the back like an Elton
jacket and the fronts in square tabs.
One of the newest of these is mad
of rows of tucks-the entire jacket,
sleeves in tucks about half an inch
in width overlapping one another.
They can be worn with any costume
cloth, silk, or even with a wash
skirt, but look smartest when worn
with a skirt of taffeta to match.
Some of these jackets are lined, but
most of them are unlined. or have
only very thin lining that helps to
keep the shape. They have revers,
narrow or wide, as the case may be,
faced with white satin stitched like
the revers on the cloth gowns, but
the revers are made SO that they can
be taken off and replaced by other
more elaborate ones of lace or of
satin with rows of baby-ribbon
stitched on. They have collar
that stands up at the back of the
neck or turns over and curves back
ward, making becoming frame for
the face.
There is every indication that the
hair is be dressed low again, and of
course, under those circumstances
high collars will very shortly go out
of fashion. On all the new gowns
there is no trimming to speak of at
the back of the neck.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Not Stingy, But

"Would you call Uncle Amos a

Extra jackets are in iaunty shapes
and very becoming to the figure.
They are of very light colored cloths,
either gray or soft tans. Over the
bright blOuses these neutral shades
look best, and bright blouses are
worn almost exclusively.
The dressv jackets are plain and
those for golf and outing generally
are very fetching, cut short and sin
gle breasted, with turned-up cuffs
and turned-dOwn collar Of contrast
ing material, chiefly checks.
The Elton is popular scalloped at
the edges and cut up in a V at the
back to show the belt. The Elton
jacket usually goes with skirt to
match, or at least to harmonic in
trimming
Modistes tell me that for women
no longer youthful black taffeta
jacket lined with white or a soft
shade of satin is quite the correct
thing and will be worn upon dressy
occasions as well as with the palmer
everyday jacket. The taffeta jacket
must be of the best grade and we'll
fitted and finished, else it will be
a clumsy instead of attractive gar
ment.
So much has been said of the capes
that there seems nothing to add. No
doubt as the season advances there
will be many pretty new points to
make note of. All that are shown
at present fit close about the should
ers and have deep and narrow frills
of airy fabrics, whether the founda-
ton is of cloth or silk.
