While looking through a pile Of old
papers correspondent came across the
following article in a New York paper
of the date Of Feb. 6, 1850, under the
caption Of 1.-THE Smelt Railroads"
ut is well known that the Ports
mouth rqilroad has to turn everything
to account to pay running expenses,
and many are the jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors In reference to
their shifts to get n living. 1t is said
that one of them Inst year was accus-
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to,

I've got left, you're In the nick Of

them and found only five. 'How's this
should have six And he began to
count his fingers and reckon over how

nonsehold Ornaments.

One of the first steps toward gen
eral raising of the standard Of rational
living is the elimination of bric-a-brac
in household decoration. Many wom-
en- have banished every piece of use
less ornament they once possessed.
What vases they now own really hold
flowers. Their candlesticks hold can
dies which are burned every night.
Their pictures are few and are really
worth looking at. AS for little china
statuettes, carved boxes, burned wood
plaques and panels and the like, they
have been relegated to lumber rooms
or sent to enrich rummage sales. This
last course cannot be recommended.
Ruskin was right In condemning the
woman who gave ugly garments to the
poor. If bric-a-brac is artistically Inn
moral it is wrong to be the means Of
another persons acquiring 1t.

sentinel and Huasar.

Two well known military terms,
sentinel" and ''hussar," afford capital
instances of the remarkable manner in
which a nation does its word twisting.
AT first sight there seems little connec-
ton between the Latin word sentina,
eignifying the hold of ship, and
soldier keeping watch over his sleeping
comrades. The connecting link is af-
forded by the word sentinator, the
Roman who pumped the hold Of Cm-
sar's galleys free of bilge water. Upon
his constant vigilance depended the
lives of the entire ships company.
Similarly the word "hussar' Is mere
ly Hungarian term signifying TWEEN
tieth." 1t arose in this manner: When
Matthias Coryinus became king of
Hungary in 145S he was extremely
afraid of foreign invasion. He conse-
quently raised an army by the simple
expedient Of Communicating every
twentieth individual in the land: hence
the hussar.

Morocco, in spite of its close prox-
unity to Europe, is the most fanatical
Of the Mohammedan countries. Chris
tinns are hated by the natives through
out the country, and 1t Is often very
dangerous to so outside the town of
Tangier. The business Of Morocco Ia
entirely in the hands of the Moorish
Jews. who amass considerable wealth
in the coast ports. 1t is not prudent
for Christian to stay anywhere but in
the Jewish quarter. At the capital,
Morocco City, and Fez the natives ex-
pcctorate and hurl stones at tho for
eign infidels." MS they call them, and
no Christian is safe in the streets un-
less escorted by soldiers.

heart was overwhelmed with pride for
the boy who dared to go back to the
place where he had been caught once.
Until late that June night in Nell's
room the boy and the girl sat together,
young lovers attune with each other,
whispering, and the elder Mcbride sat
In the dark behind them, growing oc-
casionally, harmlessly and consuming
great quantities of tobacco.
"Why don't you pick out another

"That amt the only house in town."

81 don't care for any jools, Jackie

standing by the door. Across the dark,
i'll smelling hallway was the room Of
the McBrides. From the street below
assembled family the voices and the
songs of Italy, and between the two
misguided children standing together
at the doorway there was no falsity, no
sordid doubts, only that old and beau
tiful mystery which has survived oil
degeneration to sweeten and sadden
the lives Of men and maids.
AT o'clock the following night jack
lie concealed himself in the same shrub
berry where Pete Dresser had fallen the
preceding summer. His plans, being
absolutely his own, were of necessity
daring and original. In rear Of the
Blocker street saloon, over which the
McBrides and Nell lived, there was q
small barn where hack driver named
Ed Drover kept his horses and vehicle.
Drover was accustomed to drive into
the barn between and each morn
ing, after his nights work. He had q
rare faculty Of keeping out of trouble
and was considered square by both cop
per and crook, which denotes remark
able versatility on the hack drivers
part Upon this man Drover depended

The little things are those which
stamp the well dressed woman. Style
is quality that strikes the eye ut a
glance, but when there has been time
to note the toilet deficiencies there is q
revulsion of feeling. The woman who
pays the strictest attention to the de-
tails, the bindings Of her dress skirts,
the lacings Of her shoes. the condition
of her wells, the spotlessness of her
neckwear and the perfect appearance
Of her gloves can wear the same dress
for two years and nobody Will remem-
Der to remark It A missing button
can mar the effect of perfect coat,
and rip in the finger Of glove will
give an air of poverty which nothing

1mportnnce Of Dressing wen.

1t is every woman's duty to dress
just us we'll us she can. By dressing
well one does not mean deliberately or
extensively or conspicuously. The lit
tie word "well'' conveys far more than
many syllabled adjectives. 1t implies
appropriately, with good taste and good
effect. No woman can be graceful, no
woman can do justice to her conversa-
tional powers and other accomplish
ments when painfully aware TINT the
hue of her dress is fatal to her COM
plexion and that Its cut caricatures her
figure. The consciousness Of looking
her best undoubtedly has much to do
with her power to charm.

which is often forgotten. He is the one
