WOMEN WARRIORS,

Many Have Fought BrnveIy-Esea-
pades of a Queen.
The muster rolls of the civil war
show number of cases OF soldiers who
were discovered to be women.
One OF the most remarkable women
was Christian Cayenagh, who lived in
England In the nineteenth century. She
was married and had three children.
Her husband was carried off to Hol-
land, where he had to enlist as pri-
vate soldier. His wife dressed as n
man and enlisted so as to be near her
husband She was wounded at the bat
tie of Landen, made n prisoner by the
French and carried to ST. Germain-en-
Laye, where she remained until she
and fought Il duel with her sergeant
and was transferred to another regi-
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 as a surgeon at the Cape, at
Malta and at Barbados. At the Cape
"he' fought duel with an officer who
had called him" a woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife of 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, Antie-
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 boy from her
birth because her father was disap-
pointed at not having son. She was
more a 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.-Sayannah News.

SLEEP O.. A COLD SMOKE.
Pcmng AN Empty ripe Said TO he an
Ingomnin Cure.

Pcfnng AN Empty fipe sEtd TO he an
Insomnia Cure.
After giving u fair and patient trial
to each of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness the writer stumbled across
simple method of inducing somno-
lcnce that has the merit of being harm
less and inexpensive. To smokers the
remedy involves no cost whatever but
of nonsmokers the capital outlay of
the price of pipe is required. 1t must
be wooden pipe and curved, not
straight.
Having retired for the night. the suf-
ferer should lie perfectly fiat on his
back, disearding pillow rests, and puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired result
usually Is achieved after from about
sixty TO hundred puts have been
made. The putting should be done
slowly. with deep inhaling movement.
The expelling motions must be made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
should not be removed, as each dlsplac-
ing and replacing movement tends to
wakefulness.
Those capable of great concentration
of thought should, If smokers, imagine
they see volumes of smoke, and those
who eschew the burning weed Will be
helped by counting the pufTs
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe Is In the mouth,
bowls of meerschnum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming Of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there Is no danger in falling
asleep with the stem edge of a curved
pipe caught between ones teeth Sleep
always occasions the grip to be re-
moved. That may hold also Of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea.
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.--New York Mai

Maorf wouAeu.

Maori women of New Zealand know
nothing about kissing. Nose rubbing
is their form of salutation. and when
two friends meet they hold each other
by their hands, bend their heads until
their noses touch and then rub them
gently from side to side. This form
Of greeting is not confined to the wo-
men. but is practiced by the men.
Hhey seldom meet without rubbing
noses. In times of iamentation the
Maori women will sit for hours with
their noses touching and moan for
the loss of some chief whom they have
in all probability never seen. The loss
of a brother or friend 10 enough to

LONDON'S LORD MAYOR.
HIS Power us Well ms the Area ue
Rules Is Limited.

The lord mayor of London Is not the
all powerful official he is thought to be
on the continent. He is not the mayor
of all London, but only of the city of
London, and the City is but frac-
ton of the whole. Greater London has,
roughly, a population Of 100000, but
In the $50 acres that comprise the City
there Is a resident population at night
of only $4,000 and by day of little over
100000. And even within this area the
powers of the lord mayor and of the
twenty-six aldermen and the two hun
dred odd common councillors are by no
means autocratic.
Much Of what used to lie within his
and their province has been taken over
by the London county council. In fact,
the average Londoner never thinks of
the lord mayor as an edict making,
law giving official He stands altogeth-
er apart in the popular mind from ques-
lions of rates and assessments, schools
and police. Very few people could say
what legislative functions, II any, he
fulfills. They may have heard that he
Is tue cnieI uuElSlTdte OI tue COURTS,
but beyond that their knowledge of his
precise duties does not stray. 1t Is the
social and decorative side of his posi-
tlon that impresses the public. The
lord mayor Is never without his badge
and rarely without his robes and chains
of office He rides abroad in a magnif-
icently gilded coach, with powdered
coachmen and footmen in cooked hats
and silk knee breeehes, sending CLEAN
Of gold through the dirty drab of Lon
don.
The lord mayors show on Nov. 0 Is
one of England's few annual pageants
and, uncouth as it is, has warm place
In the hearts Of the populace and, be

Her Trick.

A cantankerous old farmer, who
hardly ever agreed with anything his
wife said to him, came home one wet
day and, placing his back to the fire,
stood up to dry.
After some little time his wife turned
to him and said:
John. you'd better watch yourself or
you'll burn your flannels."
To which John replied:
~ think I'll need to burn my trou,
sers first"
Indeed, John, you'll need to do naeth-
ing of the kind. They're burnt al
ready."-London Tit-Bits.

MENTAL TENSION.
Hard 40 Realize the Dimculty OF
Keeping Natural Pose.


Keeping Natural Pose.
We never know how active our i'm
aginatlons can be till we let them out
or till they get the better of US for
some reason. A major In the army
recently admitted that when he went
into action for the first time he was so
scared that he did not know which
way was north, but he had an over
whelming desire TO reach 1t, wherever
it was. Yet, after six or eight battles
and after being wounded n couple OF
times, he regarded battlts very much
as people hcrcabous regard the evening
fight at the Manhattan end OF the
bridge, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Cases OF wanting TO run when bullets
fly are by no means difficult to find.
But young soldier In Brooklyn con-
fesses to more queer experience. His
regiment was in camp and had been
ordered ont for dress parade, as usual.
When lined up for inspection. every
man as stiff MS ramrod and not
white glove moving, this young man.
a lieutenant. began to ask himself.
Suppose | should slip. or anything, to
break the quiet? Suppose | should
fal? The Idea of falling kept grow
ing In his mind till before the inspec-
ton was over and the regiment was
allowed to use Its feet once more he
could hardly keep on his legs and was
In great sweat of agony from the
dread CT tumbling over and making an
exhibition OF himself.
People who have never tried 1t do not
realize how hard 1t Is to stand abso-
lutely still and yet appear interested
and ut ease. Artists models succeed
at II, especially those In Italy and will
hold pose not too difficult for an hour.
Actors, when they group about the man
In the center OF the stage, who Is en-
joying all the llmelight-and how they
hate them for it-are required to keep
still, 50 as not to distract attention from
the great mans sayings and motions,
and because they must group In such
way as to form picture and keep 1t
till it can be realized by the eyes In
front. But this enforced statuesque-
ness Is hard on the supes. They are
not used to It, When they are put I'M
der the strain, and when as Roman
warriors they must stand at the back
without winking while Brutus or Vir-
ginlus or some other ponderous person
unbosoms himself respecting love or.
politics, they are in n small torture.
One such last season who could no Ion
ger abide 1t to listen to the soliloquy by
the head man pitched over on his face
and had TO be lugged out by the arms
to the spelling Of the scene.
