AS WOMAN'S CHURCH.
First Baptist Sanctuary mt Columbus,
o., Is ms Comfortable rs Any
Playhouse.

The people of Columbus cannot COM
plain that they have no church as COM
Portable as the theater. 1t has for
years been a stock complaint among
the males of any family that church
seats were uncomfortable, and for that
reason they did not care to attend Sun
day services. They have also said that
the air was bad and they were not al
lowed the same liberty as in theater.
If they were uncomfortable they could
not get up and go out few minutes,
for there was no place to 60 except into
the street.
Women have also complained of this
matter and for years the theaters of the
different cities have been a standing re-
proach to the churches. The comfort
able lounging rooms, the convenient
dressing rooms, the easy chairs, and
the resting spots have all been con-
spicuous by their absence.
But church has just been finished in
Columbus which is a triumph to those

THE RHEUMATIC VETERAN.
He Had Tried Everything in the
Charm Line for His Ailment
without Avail.

AT one of the soldiers reunions held
recently an aged veteran, crippled
with rheumatism and unable to walk
except with difficulty, was talking with
comrade he had not seen for long
time and who was hale and hearty"
The former had told his friend of all
his rheumatic troubles when the latter
asked: why don't you carry a buck
eye?" and added. Here is one have
had in my pocket for the past Is
years"
Then the rheumatic veteran turned
an his friend and with tone of infinite
disgust replied: They aren't worth a
d-n. John, look here!" and he
pulled from various pockets IL horse
chestnuts and laid the black hard nuts
on the table. Then he drew from his
hip pocket a small pony horse shoe and
in conclusion reached down inside of
his shirt collar, caught hold of string
and pulled out an old dried rabbits
foot with about half the hair rubbed
off.
Talk about carrying things in your
pocket for rheumatism" said he. Its
all sham. There's collection that I
have been carrying off and on for ten
years and you see the condition l
am in"
Then some one in the crowd started
the Battle Hymn of the Republic" and
the rheumatic old soldier twisted him
self about in his chair and tried to
sing.-Indianapolis Sentinel

COWARDICE AT THE FRONT.
Whole Regiments Have Been Known
to Run Away in Terror from
the Enemy.

There are, no doubt, very many cases
of individual cowardice on the battle
field, said as old army officer who had
fought in a score of battles, but very
few have come under my immediate no.
tice, and the world rarely hears of
them. There are, however, cases on
record in which a whole regiment has
turned tail and fled from sheer fright
before single shot has been fired, and
some of these regiments have atoned
for their lapse from bravery by n reck
less courage which has later covered
them with glory.
One of the bravest of all the regi-
ments that fought in the American civil
war bolted to a man the very first time
they came face to face with the enemy.
1t was at Shiloh that the Fifty-fifth
Illinois regiment received its baptism
of fire. in that battle it was detached
from the main body to take up posi-
tion on the Tennessee river on the
extreme left flank of the army, and
mile distant from supports. 1t was the
regiments first experience of battle,
and not man of them all had probably
ever seen blood shed In anger.
The regiment had scarcely taken up
its position when Chalmers brigade
was sent to drive it out, and made
furious onslaught on it, to the accom-
paniment of murderous fire of shells.
The Fifty-fifth, however, did not wait
for the attack, but, seized by panic,
bolted "like one man" to the shelter
of a neighboring ravine. Here they
were with the utmost difficulty formed
into square, and recovering their
nerve as quickly as they had lost it, re-
ceived the enemy's attack with the
greatest GOODNESS and bravery, repuls-
ing the confederate cavalry again and
again with heavy loss.
During the rest OF the campaign there
were no braver men in Sherman's army
than the Fifty-ifth, and, although in

The Onion ns a Medicine.

Onions are kind of all-round good
medicine. A whole onion eaten at
bedtime will, by the next morning,
break the severest cold. Onions make
a good plaster to remove Inflammation
and hoarseness. If an onion is mashed
so as to secure all the juice in it it will
make most remarkable smelling sub
stance that will quiet the most nerv-
GUS person. The strength of it inhaled
for few moments will dull the sense
of smell and weaken the nerves until
sleep is produced from sheer exhaus-
tion. l. all comes from one property
possessed by the onion, and that is a
form of opium.

less than three years fighting they
lost 157 men, they were always the
most eager to meet the enemy and most
difficult to withdraw.
1t was in the same battle that an
other very brave regiment, the Thirty
second Indiana, showed the white
feather, and came perilously near to
disgrace. 1t fell to this regiment to
clear the front line of battle, a task
calculated to make the bravest SOL
diers blanch. They were formed into
double column, with skirmishers, and
plunged into wood, where they were
Immediately greeted with hail of rul-
let's from the main body of the enemy
on the right and from men in ambush
on the left. AZ man after man fell the
column faltered and broke, and began
to rush to cover in the utmost disorder.
They were rallied with difficulty and
again the column proceeded, only to
break and fly second time.
At this stage Col. Willich again col
lected his men, held them at attention.
and then made them go through the
manual drill as coolIy as If they were
on the parade ground, although per-
feet tornado of bullets was whistling
and shrieking about their heads. This
bteadied the men as nothing else could
have done, and when they had recov-
cred their nerve they reformed column
and shoulder to shoulder they proceed
ed with thir task as coolly as il they
were taking part in maneuyers.

AN ARIsTocRATIc ORDER.
The Noble Ladies of Prague, Bohemia,
Secular Canonesses and Roy
nj Abbesses.

The secular canonesses of Prague be-
long to the proudest religious order in
Europe. To their rank no maiden is
admitted who cannot prove on both
sides 16 quarterings of nobility. 1t
was founded by Empress Maria Theresa,
and has had ever since for its abbess
O daughter of the imperial house.
Intended as a provision for the
"penniless lass, wi a lang pedigree" its
rules are not of the strictness to be
found in less aristocratic associations
Its members are free to marry-if they
get good offer-and though they are
required to spend certain number of
months annually in the royal palace Of
the Hradschin, they are allowed to visit
when they like, to receive visits, and to
seek change of air in summer. Each
canoness has at her disposal n carriage
and horses, and a box at the theater,
while medical attendance and drugs are
provided. In addition, she receives a
pension of over 100 guldens month, or
about $45.
While Marie Theresa's foundation af-
fords retreat for many girls of high
birth, but limited means, it must not
be taken that all the members are i'm
pecunious. To belong to the Stiff is es-
teemed an honor. A sister of the pres
ent Count Taaffe Zone of the many Aus
trian mobiles of Irish descenD, Countess
Walbburga, Clementina Taaffe, was a
canoness. AT the present day Count
Taaffe's own daughter is numbered
amongst the members of the commun-
fly.
Amongst those who have held the
post of abbess have been the unfor-
tunate Marie Antoinette, and the pres
ent queen regent of Spain. The Stifts
Damen are privileged to appear at the
Austrian court attired in black.
Besides the private apartments al
lotted to each lady in the Hradschin or
royal palace at Prague, two fine recep-

tion rooms with paraquet fioorings and
lofty windows are placed at the general
disposal for large gatherings. These
contain portraits of former abbesses
painted on their resignation. In one
of these salons stands a curious fire
screen embroidered delicately by poor
Marie Antoinette with flowers in silk.
From the balcony there is beautiful
outlook on the city beneath, with its
slopes, its innumerable towers, the
winding Moldau, and the height of
Weissberg beyond.
One of the obligations of the ladies
who are so comfortably endowed for
life is to pray for the soul of their
founder. This they do in the adjoin-
ing cathedral of Saint Vitus, remark
able for the huge mausoleum of Saint
John Nepomucen in solid silver, con-
tanning silver coffin inclosing second
in crystal in which are his remains.
At the end of the choir is the hereditary
burial place of the kings of Bohemia.
Beneath a monument of marble and
alabaster lie 12 monarchs with their
queens. The last to be buried there
was Rudolph H., in 1912. Close by is a
second church dedicated to Saint
George, and adorned by fine dog tooth
moldings. 1t contains the crown OF
Saint Wenceslas, which has been worn
only by Emperor Ferdinand (The
Good) since Bohemia became an ap-
panage of Austria. That it should be
once more placed upon the head of his
ruler is the desire of every true-born
czech.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
