wonder that the result of the war was
 inevitable? The marvel of it all is . that the south with only 600000 men
 enlisted during the entire service, sue ceeded in keeping such an army a. bay for four long years. Today the records of the government will show | that on the Federal pension rolls there . are more union veterans enrolled than l there were soldiers mustered in the Confederate ranks, and still there arc 1 more who want to get on.
 This statement is made without any feeling of bitterness. We all rejoice that the war is over and that peaee i has come back again, but since the south lost in the struggle it is some thing of an unction to the wounded pride of the old veterans who wore the gray to know just how it was.
 But the Army and Navy Journal goes on to give some additional sta. tistics which will probably interest our readers and which suggest in vidioUs comparisons Fofty-eight per cent of the soldiers in the union army were farmers. 27 per cent were me. chanics, 16 per cent were laborers. : per cent were proessional men. and 1 per cent were miscellaneous.
 There is just one thought which oc CUTS to us in this connection. If t9 per cent of the soldiers who composed the rank and file Of the union armv were farmers, it is probable that the same figures are approximately true or the Confederate army, and this be- ing taken for granted, it follows that the country is indebted to the farmers in greater measure thax most of is have been inclined to suppose and that besides being our mainstay and sun port in time of peace, they have also been our protection in time of war. Let us bear this fact in mind when wq dIe tempted to forget them.
 Another interesting fact brought out by this same authority is that the average height of the nion soldier was feet and eight inches. Unfor. tunately we have no way of getting at such statics in regard to the Confed. crate army. We never had time to take them.-Atlanta Constitution.

Messing something out of the ordinary run

from the pen of Theo Kremer and deals
with real happenings in the metropolis:
The plot of the play has been gathered
from incidents that occurred in connec-

in New York some years ago. The scenic
effects introduced throughout the play
are said to be exceptionally fine. Realis-
tic effects are shown throughout the per-

When Reginald DE Koven and Harry B.
Smith wrote Robin Hood" for the Bos-
tonians they gave to the musical world
a comic opera which has since remained
classic of its kind and one which has
not been equaled by any later work. Its
popularity is as great now as when the
famous organization first presented 1t,
and the news that a sequel and successor
to Robin Hood" in the quaint book and
melodious score of Maid Marian" is
soon to be offered by the Bostonians
gives music lovers the assurance of a
pleasure in store.
Maid Marian is the joint work of
Reginald De Koven and Harry B. Smith,
who saw further possibilities of treat
ment in the pretty romance of the Forest
of Arden. The new opera will have its
initial production November in Phiia-
delphia- Until then the Bostonians Will
continue to present Robin Hood, 1.-The
Serenade" and THE Viceroy."
Some changes have been made in the
personnel of the company. Gertrude Tim

promise. has been engaged and Allen
Hinckley, a basso of unusual power, is
expected to do splendid work in the sew
erai productions. The other newcomers
will be Vernon Stiles, tenor, and William

The musical farce Foxy Grandpa, q"
which had its first presentation recently
by Joseph Hart and Carrie DeMar. under
the management Of William A. Brady.
has scored a pronounced success, CON
trary to the opinion of many to whom
the idea of dramatizing these pictures
seemed a hazardous venture.
For some time the career of this old
gentleman has been illustrated in a New
York paper and Joseph Hart conceived
the idea of putting them into dramatic
form, which was accordingly done. and
the result is one of the surprises OF the
new season. William a. Brady, the man
ager. says that it has scored the most
marked instantaneous success with which
he has ever been associated. the receipts
for its first two weeks having been 81. 500.

Evening gowns for young married
women are cut very low back and
front and deficiencies are supplied
with n drapery of tulle.
Pretty ties have deep-pleated ends
of color, say, pale blue and white.
The ties are of good material and well
made, and are consequently worth
while.
Attractive white ties are finished
on the ends with sprigs of embroid:
cry of single flowers, daisies, or for
get-me-nots, or roses. The ties are
Of fine lawn.
The fashion for dressing the hair
low on the nape of the neck is grow
ing in fame and the front hair slightly
waved is parted either in the centre
or little to one side.
Among the new materials which are
coming in the market Is something
called burlap in light gray. 1t re-
sembles canvas, and TO have any style
must be tailor made.
The very latest corset is a cOmprO-
mise between the old model and the
later one with the exaggerated straight
front. The. straight line is not con-
fined to the front entirely, but Is dis
tributed all around, making the curve
at the back more natural.
Ostrich feathers promise to be very
conspicuous In millinery next autumn,
and birds plumage of allsOrts, dyed in
all sorts of colors, is being made up
into breasts, wings and birds, as real
as the genuine solgsters for winter
hat ornaments. Sea gulls and pigeons
are very much used now in hats for
seaside wear, theformer dyed in hues
never seen in the gull family before.
One of the speeiai advantages of the
present fashion for thin materials is
found in Its effect on summer mourn
ing, which Is more pleasing to look
upon and more agreeable to wear
than ever before. With the nets,
chiffons, veilings, China silks, and
crepes de chine in black, there is no
need to burden ones self with heavy
fabrics. Mourning taffetas and mus
Inns are also very much worn.
Long loose driving coats of whitc
linen of the silky quality are one Of
the swagger things of fashion. They
are made simply with a piping of
colored linen, or more elegantly fin
ished with a deep collar Of lace over
which u narrow collar of black velvet
turns down about the neck The
sleeves are full bishops with wrist
bands Of velvet and lace, and some
times there are little revers OF tucked

Dutifui Ways of Queen Helene.

Two stories Of quite recent date
show the sweet complaisancy with
which Queen Helene of Italy tries to
steer the royal matrimonial bark. The
Queen has very beautiful wavy hair,
which may b9 said to be her one van
1ty. During a reception some little
time ago she had 1t dressed so becom-
ingly that one OF her maids of honor
exclaimed: How beautiful your hair
looks this evening, Your Majesty--it
waves so becomingly." The Queen
Iiushed with pleasure, but the King
was within hearing, and as he has an
almost morbid adherence of anything
approaching flattery or praise, she was
unable to thank her friend for com
pliment which she felt was sincere.
Nine. X, of course, felt snubbed and
remained silent for the rest of the
evening, but when she came to take
formal leave, Queen Helene whispered
to her with little smile, Thanks, on
behalf Of my coiffure, madame"
At another time she had been out
alone for a surreptltious spin on her
bicycle, when, as she was entering the
palace gate on her return she had a
severe fall. The King was just pass
ing and ran with others to her assist
ance. Finding her unhurt, his express
sion Of anxiety changed to one Of dis
approval, and he said more than half
seriously: "Ths is what comes from
being too independent. You are COW
cred with mud. How can you go
through the main entrance in such a
State?" The Queen accepted the re-
proof, and very meekly replied: THAT
is true" Then went around the court
yard and entered the palace by back
staircase.-Mainly About People.

tabllshment, though by no means
among the most famous, would seem
in its Alnaschar proportions to justify
them all. TO be sure it is a report to
shareholders, and its publication is in
the nature Of an advertisement, but
the figures given are astonishing. The
concern started modestly in Paris over
ten years ago, and the profits of the
first year were $31GO; they jumped in
the following four to the following
figures; $4,000, $03 1000, $164 ,000 $234,-

that is to say $1,3OOOO0 net profits, or
more than half the amount of the NOM
lnal capital in four years. One cause
for the amount of business is perhaps
the practice of giving credit to custom

is no doubt that the business is profit
able and the bills proportionately high.
