A PIucky Dame of 177S.

The spirit Of '76, as is well known,
was manifest not only in the courage
ard heroism of the men of that stirring
period but in the bravery Of women
as we'll.
"My grea at-grandmother," said Miss
Anne, 'Hved near Trenton, n. J., not
far from where one Of the great bat
ties was fought. She was married,
but her husband had gone to war; and,
with two other young married women,
cousins, whose husbands had also
joined the Revolutionary Army, she
remained in the old homestead, await
ing anxiously such meager bits OF war
news as might come to them from the
distant fields Of action.
Zone day, at noon, when the three
women were seated at dinner, eacl
with babe in her arms, a little troop
Of British soldiery rode up to the house.
The women heard their nois-. approach
but before they had time to move the
soldiers, an officer and Two men, in
full uniform, ard with jingling spurs,
were in the room. DOning his hat, the
young officer sharply accosted the wife
seated nearest him:
MADAME, where is your husband: ?
"'He has gone to town. faltercd the
tinid creature.
"'Ard your husband, madame?' he
peremptoIily demanded of the next
young woman.
"'He is somewhere out Oh the farm,
she stammerad, equally frightened.
''Then the officer addressed this, same
! query to my ygreat-grandmother:
where is your husband, madame? :?
"Iy great grandmother rose to .hel
| feet, and said boldly:
"'He is gone to fight the British
| "'Gcodr exclaimed tie officer, aE6
he slapped my great-grandmother or
the shoulder, as if she, were a MAI
and a conarade-at-arms; you're the gir
| for me!'
"Then, with his men, the officer with
drew, leaving the old home and it's de
fenseless occupants unmolested."

The True Gentleman.

The late Frederick Temple, the octo-
genarian primate of the Church Of
England, who died last year, once gave
the following outline Of what he con-
sidered really gentlemanly conduct,
says Golfers Weekly:
''The man who is thoroughly unset
fish in all small things, he is the man
in regard Of whom it is quite impos-
sible for you not to feel. That man is
a gentleman. Let his rank in society
be what it may, let him be ignorant OF
the ordinary conyentiolalities Of social
intercourse, still, if the man be truly
se1f-sacriGc cling, if in his ordinary rela-
tons With his fellows there is true and
genuine humility, true and genuine un-
selfshness, it is impossible for any
man who has much to do with him not
to feel, that man is a gentleman I
don't care whether he is learned or
not. whether he is educated or not; I
don't care how ignorant he may be, OF
how low he may stand; don't care if
he be ever SO poor; the man who con
stantly shows that he is giving himself
I'D for the sake OF other people, that
| man is at heart and in reality one OF
natures gentlemen, and this is the way
! in which he shows it."

Oriental spoon, is for mayonnalse dress
Ing; at least think that is what Caro-
line wrote me-, she continued, while
every one at the table stared at the
bowl which I had thoughtfully filed
with powdered sugar, and placed right
alongside the strawberries, where it
would be handy
So long as you don't mind our tell
ing you what the different things are
for said Aunt Mildred, pleasantly,
why, I may as we'll tell you, my dear,
that that long g-handled fork and spoon
are not for salad, but are intended for
olives aid pickles when they are served
in the bottle
"'Well,' honestly confessed Uncle
Billy, I've really forgotten what that
queer-looiing spoon 1 bought at Bif-
fany's is for myself; they have SO
many new tangled things nowadays
that they didn't have when I was a
boy, but it seems to me that it is a
cream ladle or some such thing

rather spoiled the impression I had
hoped to convey-for, upon being ques-
toned as to how I knew, was obliged
to admit that I had seen one in a
silver catalogue that some jewelry
firm had mailed me.
"Well, we all had a good laugh, and
our formal luncheon turned out to be a
very informal one, after all, and
have always felt thoroughly at home

ably due to the fact that the ice having
been broken, as it was at that first

well, what was wrong with the tea
cups?' inquired the girl who never
forgot anything.
"Oh, yes! That was the worst OF
allv' concluded the one who had beer
telling her troubles to the others. "De

Broken pillar with crumbiing stone
Tell of her yesterdays,
Toll Of the time when she stood alone
Mighty in all her ways.
TracSless stretches of heaping sand,
Red in the wasting heat,
Breathe of sinuous saraband
Tripped by the Joyous feet.
Fallen temple and shattered tomb,

cannot conceive how it would be pos

the evidence in the case that she was
not conscious when she received the
mortal stroke at your hands. The
statute making the act Of aiding an
other in the commission of suicide

statute under which you have been in.

Under that statute the superstition

that her wish to die, her consent to
die and her participation to some ex-

absolved you from the graver charge
of murder if you had been indicted for
that offense, because you willfully and
