THE WOMAN OF PoIsE.
Her RestfuIness Is Not the Result of
Accident But of SeIf-EducatiOn
Along Right Lines.

The woman of poise is restful to
those with whom she comes in contact.
To the woman aspiring to this enviable
state of mental equilibrium, of con-
trolled power, would say: First, re-
member to be saving of your nervous
force. Do not dissipate your strength
upon meaningless movements of
hands, feet, eyes or head. Let each mo-
ton have a purpose, and expend no
more strength upon it than it calls for.
Learn to relax and keep the body in
that state except so far as some mem
Der of it is called upon for action. Do
not give strong grasp where light
touch will do the work. Learn to be
like an elastic band, which stretches
no more than is required, and the
strain removed returns at once to it's
normal condition. Second, it is trite to
say: Don't worry so I shall modify
the advice and make it possible to fol
low by saying: Don't worry unneces-
sarily." With most women worry be-
comes a habit, and habits are hard to
break, this one particularly. But it
can be done. Sit down some day and
think how few impending calamities
ever get beyond the potential stage.
Worry if you must, but do not begin
before it is time. Lies tangles have
way of Strengthening out when we
come close to them. Third, talk much
or little, as is natural for you, but be
sure that when you speak you say
something. Endeavor to put individ-
uality, which is a very different thing
from eccentricity, into your remarks.
Let your speech, even though it be
about trifes, have pith and point. In
conversation, as in most things, it is
well to have goal. The mention of a
goal suggests a word about what is
perhaps, aside from nerves, the great
est enemy to poise. This is aimless-
ness. Too many women are aimless in
their talk, aimless in their actions,
aimless in their lives. Thus they fritz
ter away the forces which, if concen-
trated, would result in that useful and
tremendously beautiful product of
civilization, the highest type of wom-
an-the woman of poise.-Ina Bre-
WORT Roberts, in Woman's Home Com
panion.

WAS no PICKET LINE.
Capt. Harbre, of the Texas, Contradicts
Both schIey and Higginson Regard
ing Blockade at CieBfuegos.
WASHINGTON. Sent

Washington, Sept. 22.-Admiral
Dewey observed his usual rule of
promptness in calling the Schley court
of inquiry to order at IL o'clock Sat
urday. All the members of the court
were present on the minute and Ad
lnira1 Schley sat with his counsel at
the table set apart for them on the
left OF the witness seat. The first
witness called was Capt. Harder, ex-
ecutive. officer of the Texas during the
Spanish war, and who was on the
stand when the court adjourned Fri
day. The judge advocate asked no
questions of him and he was imme-
diately turned over to Mr.. Rayner, of
counsel for Admiral Schley, who qucs-
toned him concerning his statement
that he did not recall that there was
any picket line established inside the
line of blockade at CienfuegOs. A re-
port by Admiral Schley was read to
the effect that picket line had been
maintained, but the witness declined
to change his statement. Asked if the
Brooklyn had not, on May "A, sig
nailed the Texas to go alongside the
collier and coal, he said he did not re-
call anything of the kind. Mr.. Ray
ner read the signal message as fol-
lows: $50 alongside the collier and
coal us rapidly as possible but no
amount of pressing could bring the
witness to say that he remembered
the incident.
Continuing his testimony Capt
Harder insisted that the weather May
rs was moth rough He also main
tanned that it was his recollection as
stated yesterday that the feet was
further out at night than in the day
time.
Commander Schroeder said that he
had not known of the order to Schley
to proceed from Cienfuegos to San
tiago if satisfied that the enemy was
not at the former place. On redirect
examination Mr.. Hanna asked if, in
accordance with the terms of this
order, the fleet had proceeded with
all dispatch" to Santiago. The witness
replied that it had not. He thought
that the speed was nothing like as
great as it might have been.
In reply to a question by the court,
Commander Schroeder said that he
fire of the Spanish batteries had no,
been heavy enough to seriously en-
danger the American fleet.

to US in the future"
Sure enough, says the New York
Herald, before the eyes of the wonder
ing maiden the roses changed color
and were crimson at sunset that even

seemed to her, for how could she know
that the roses were originally red and
that her lover had simply bleached
them white by holding them for some
time over a pan filled with smoking
sulphur before he handed them to her ?
