EdIson,r Fellow worker.

President Henry Morton Of Stevens
institute is fitted for his place In the
Hall Of Fame committee by his wide
personal acquaintance with famous
men. AS a worker and an expert In
electrical science President Morton
fought shoulder to shoulder with
Thomas A. Edison In electricity's
march of progress.
He was an associate and cowOrker
with the Stevenses Of HOboken, who
gave to the world the Stevens battery,
the original ironclad that has found its
evolution in the modern battleship, and
the yacht Maria that defeated the IA
nous America in New York waters be-
fore she sailed the first Of the interna-
tional cup races.
President Morton is proud Of his
'bOys"-Stevens institute students past
and present. Perhaps the chief source
Of that pride is the fact that fOur-ffths
Of the great electrical and mining insti
tutlons In all parts Of the world have
his former pupils at their head.
Besides being an electrical and engi-
neering enthusiast President Morton is
an artist of ability and possesses an ex-
cellent collection of modern paintings.
Andrew Carnegie is a great admirer Of
President Morton, this being the reason
for the several gifts that the institute
has received from him.-New York

A large number Of hat boxes are

fire to boil and In the meantime pre-
pare a sauce as follows: Melt a tea

To Clean Carved Ivory.

There was a time when ivory boxes,
caskets and ornaments Of every de-
scription were the fashion, and as per-
haps some Of my readers even now pos
sess a similar relic Of the past the fol-
lowing hint may be useful: Make a
paste of sawdust molstened with water
and a few drops of lemon juice. Spread
this quickly over the carved wood and
let It dry on. Then brush of with a
soft plate brush until every bit of dirt
is removed. The lemon Juice tends to
whiten the ivory, so do not be too Law
Ish with 1t, or you will spoil the natural
tint Of the ornament.

keen and realizing sense Of how weari-
some the eternal diet Of broths and
eggs may become and how necessary II
Is that everything should be prepared
IN as appetizlng a manner as possible.
One good way of preparing an egg Is
TO separate the white from the yolk,
keeping the latter unbroken. Add
pinch of salt to the white and beat 1t
to a stiff froth. Put 1t in a very small
baking dish and drop the yolk In the
center. Place the dish in a hot oven
for a few moments. Add bit Of but

HIGH TIDE AT GETTYSBURG.

A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky shield;
Atrwart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horsemen
dashed.
And from the heights the thunder pealed.
Then. at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchless infantry;
with Pickett leading grandly down
To rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
cry across the tumult runs:
The voice that rang through Shiloh's
woods.
And Chickamauga's solitudes,
The fierce south cheering on her sons.
Oh. how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrewi
A khamsin wind that scorched and singed
Like that internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo!
"Once more in Glory's van with thee"
Virginia cries to Tennessee:
I'VE two together. come what may,
Shall stand upon those works to-day.
The reddest day of history"
But who shall break the guards that walt
Before the awful face of fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled by the cannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were deSolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet;
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
A tigress in her wrath, uncaged,
Till all the hill was red and wet
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle-cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death-cry of a nation lost!
The brave went down, Without disgrace
| They leaped to Ruins red embrace:
They only heard Fame's thunder wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburnt break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face!

A UNION JOAN OF ARC.
Sinetecn-Yenr-Old Schoolgirl Who
Enlisted in the Army of
the Cumberland.

Almost every regiment owes more to
the help of women than they can ever
hope to pay, and it was not always
or alone in the way of nursing, either,
said a war veteran at the Chicago
reunion to q Tribune man. There
were women scouts and spies, and
more than once woman fought
alongside the men in the ranks. One
of the queerest cases l ever heard of
was that of a young woman from
Brooklyn, n. Y, only 10 years old
and just out of school. 1t was in
1868, when the cause of the union
was darkest. She was an ardent
union girl, and as result of much
study and worry she conceived the
idea that she was born to be the
Joan of Arc of the union army. She
wanted to go directly to Washington
and ask President Lincoln for the
command of the federal forces. Her
parents did what they could to re-
strain her. and finally sent her out
to Ann Arbor, Mich, in the care OF

was at last found necessary to put
her under restraint. She was not al
lowed 20 leave the house except when
accompanied by her aunt. One day
she disappeared. The greatest detec'
tives in the country were employed
to search for her, but they found

no trace, and it was finally concluded
that she had committed suicide. She
had, however, disguised herself, put
on mems clothes, and enlisted as a
drummer boy in Michigan regiment
at Detroit, her sex being known only
to herself. With her regiment she
went into the Army of the Cumber-
land and endured all the hardships of
the Kentucky campaign, in which
many strong men succumbed.
"She was in the thick of the great
fight at Chickamauga on Sunday, and
was fatally wounded by mimic ball.
When carried into the surgeons tent
her sex was for the first time dis
covered. She was told that she was
dying, and reluctantly gave her name.
A dispatch was sent by the colonel of
the regiment to her father in Brook
lyn over her name, Emily in which
she begged him to forgive her. Il
had expected to deliver and save my
country the dying girl wrote, but
the fates would not have it so.'"
