WOMEN WARRIORS.
Many Have Fought BraveIy-Esca-
pades of Queen.

The muster rolls Of the civil war
show a number Of cases Of soldiers who
were discovered TO be women.
One Of the most remarkable women
was Christian Cavenagh, who lived in
England il the nineteenth century. She
was married and had three children.
Her husband was carried OF to Hol-
land, where he had to. enlist as a prf-
vate soldier. His wife dressed as a
man and enlisted so as to be near her
husband. She was wounded at the bat
tie Of Landen, made Il prisoner by the
French and carried to St Germain-en-
Laye, where she remained until she
was exchanged. Then she quarreled
and fought duel with her sergeant
and was transferred to another regf-
ment Again she was wounded at Ra-
MILES, when her secret was discover
ed. She was, however, permitted to
remain with the regiment as a cook.
Many English officers recall the case
of "Dr. James Barry" This woman
served in the British army about fifty
years ago otS Il surgeon at the 1dpe, dC
Malta and at Barbados. At the Cape
"he' fought q duel with an officer who
had called "him" a woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife Of a soldier,
went through some Of the sharpest en-
gagements of the civil war. She en-
listed in Company D, Sixth Ohio cav
airy, and fought at Fort Magruder,
Hanover Court House, Bull Run, Ante
tam and BoOnsboro. She is said to be
still living and the mother of several
children.
Christina. queen of Sweden, was edu-
Gated and dressed like a boy from her
birth because her father was disap-
pointed at not having a son. She was
more king than a queen and after
four years of rule resigned her crown
and went off to amuse herself in Eu-
rope. She was dressed in mems clothes
and acted as uproariously as any man
who ever owned his clothes by right
Of sex. She was only twenty-eight at
the time.-Savannah News.

The Extinct Northern "sea Cow"

The Extinct Northern "Sea Cow"
In the year 1854 the Bering explor-
ers discovered gigantic species of ryti-
na, or northern sea COW. These enor-
nous manatees were similar in gener-
al habits to those of the South Ameri-
can coast and were from twenty to
thirty feet in length and from ten to
twenty feet in girth. They were very
stupid, harmless beasts and lived by
browsing on seaweeds and other ma
rine growths near the land. The sail
ors were not slow in finding out that
a sea cow steak beat seal meat "all
hollow" From 1854 until 17GS they
were the principal food of the sailors
and explorers ON our western coast.
This being the case, it is not at all sur
prising that the northern sea COW, nev-
CT a very numerous species, should be-
come extinct in the short space Of -FOUR
teen years. The last of the giant man
atees was killed in September, 1868, a
few months less than fourteen years
after the discovery of the first one.

A Valuable Lesson In the Gentle Art
of Omitting.
''It was this way" was explaining
quite fresh and young appearing
gentleman to much older companion
as l took a seat near them in the res
taurant. II thought that it was quite
a clever short story, and as the pro-
fessOr had asked me to read it to him
for the purpose of criticism he listened
patiently for the thirty minutes that it
took me to go through it.
"'Good for the first writing he said,
but you must learn the art of emitting.
You have unnecessary sentences. Find
them omit them and come and read it
again
Il followed his advice, and the next
time it took me twenty minutes to
read it.
Better he said. Try it again. for
there is more you can omit
Il didn't show the annoyance that
felt, but did some more cutting and
condensing. Then l read it to him
again in fifteen minutes.
THAT is nearer to the correct thing
he said, with an approving nod, but
there is chance for little more prun-
ing
ut was with an effort that re-
strained myself, but knowing that he
is an authority in literary matters for
the third time went to the slaughter
of the innocents and, returning the
next day, read it to him in ten minutes.
THAT is something like he ex-
claimed, slapping me on the back.
Another little emitting seance will fix
it

swered as l seized my manuscript,
with a show or feeling. You had bet
ter tell me to omit every word Of it
"'That's it, my boy. that's it, he re-
piled. 1t is too much. Omit the rest,
and you will never hear a word of adj
verse criticism

advice again and throw the story in

WANTED TO CLIMB THE. GATE.
Story Of Secretary Moody and Iisushty BOs-

They are telling story in Washing
ton about the new secretary of the
navy. Mr.. Moody was riding on one Of
the Boston surface cars, and was stand
ing on the platform on the eide next
the gate that protected passengers from
cars coming on the ether track. A
lady--a Boston lady--came to the door
of the car, and, as it stopped, started to
move toward the gate, which was hid
den from her by the man standing be-
fore it.
"other side, please, lady," said the
conductor. He was ignored as only q
born and bred Bostonian can ignore q
man. The lady took another step to-
ward the gate.
"You must get off the other side" I"
said the conductor.
81 wish to get off on this side, came
the answer, in tones that CONCEALED the
official into momentary silence. Be-
fore he could either explain or expostu-
late, Mr.. Moody came to his assistance.
"Stand to one side, gentlemen" he
remarked quietly. "The lady wants to
climb over the gate. New York

Many Of the men were in the colored

When said this they all turned and
looked at me.
"You know summat about this, do

"pm thinking this that you've shown
tonight in tn pictures is TIL same busi-.
ness as my lad raved about.
80 my connection with the pictures
had been discovered.
In silence the newer picked the
bricks loose, pausing now and then to
let comrade throw the debris aside.
Soon space was cleared, and he began
carefully to pick into and loosen the
soil. A shovel was brought into requi-
sition, and the earth and rubbish were
thrown aside: And the old ventil-
ating cowl overhead kept grinding
stiffiy and slowly about, with painful,
long.drawn means, as il it were op-
pressed with the spirit of the scene.

the newer, pausing abruptly and speak
ing in a hurried whisper.

the soil, and fearfully sounding it.

and he began to tug at it.

mustn't disturb them-not tonight, at

"Yea, parson," said the man, 'but

is he's done for like this. There's Jim
Riley gone missing, and Job Kershaw."
