AVOID HURRY HABIT.
Il Destroys Thoroughness, Causes
Worry and Should BE Particulars
" Avoided by Women.

II there is one lesson more than TN
other that Americans, and especially
American women, need to learn, and 1t
once, it is to make haste slowly. Hurry
is the most destructive Of our national
habits. It is the chief cause Of our ma
tional disease, nervous prostration, and
one of the principal allies of the under
taker. Hurry and worry always go to-
gether. In dinterentiating between
haste and hurry q noted alienist cites
the numerous quick-lunch restaurants
which have sprung up during the last
decade in all American cities. The sign
itself, ''Quick LUNCH" or "a meal in q
minute" is enough to set one to hurry
Ing The consequence is imperfect
mastication, dyspepsia and nervous
prostration.
Hurry destroys thoroughness. The
person who hurries cannot have his
heart in his work, says the Housekeeper.
Thinking constantly Of what is to be
done next, the task of the present Is
sighted by borrowing unnecessarily
from the future. Paradoxical as it may
sound, hurry is the subterfuge Of the
lazy. A man or woman who Is lazy at
heart often hurries to make .pretense
of working and detract attention from
real idleness. Little time is required to
compute the results achieved by the
person who bustles breathlessly about
with nerves unstrung and putting every
one within hearing in the same condi-
ton.

SUMMER FANCY WORK
Potpourl Sachets Provide a Delight
full Way of Carrying About
Scented Flower Petals.

New ideas in fancy work are always
welcome when a summer holiday is in
prospect, it's programme including the
delights of sitting out Of doors in the
sultry days. or when round Of country
house visiting is in contemplation, fol-
which a new piece Of embroidery is at
all times a pleasant accompaniment.
Potpourri sachets are dainty notion
which comes very happily with the
fancy for delicious, old-fashioned per-
fumes. Our grandmothers used to store
their potpourri in china bowls and jars,
and of late years silver boxes with
pierced lids have been added to the
available receptacles for It. Potpourrt
sachets provide delightful way of car
rying about the scented petals and i'm
parting their fragrance to the contents
of a drawer or portmanteau.
Two charming patterns are illustrated
One is shaped like square-mouthet
bag, made in white china silk and en-
broidered with a design Of half opened
crimson roses. A separate case sewed
into the lining contains the potpourri
and can be taken out and refilled at any
time with very little trouble. The 9TH
er is pale blue silk, has rounded corners
and is powdered with small roses in rib
bon work.
The lining is delicate pink silk, and In
this also a sonarate case cOntains tho

ls more to be admired than ever before
since the 638 pieces into which it was
broken have been so ingeniously put
together. Student, artist and traveller
when visiting the museum, are always
sure to enter the palace of the Crocet-
to, tarrying long in the center of the
gallery, where since 1866 until the time
of the great catastrophe which befell
it in 1900, and which it was feared was
irremediable, stood the celebrated
Francois vase. This rare old speci-
man of art has a remarkable history.
Signor Alesandro Francis found the
vase in October, 1874. 1t was inside a
vault located within an apartment be-
longing to the grand duke of Dolciano,
at Fon te Rotella, near Chiusi, or, to
be strictly accurate, he found only two
thirds of the body Of the vase, with
only one of the handles, in the first
place. A year later he came across
some other remarkable pieces among
which was the second handle.
Years afterwards another fragment
came to light, and was handed over as
a gift to the museum in 1866 by Mar
quis Charles Strozzi, when the parts
previously found were put together
and so firmly fixed that the vase re-
NAMED undeteriorated until smashed

| c1asping that of the union man, he
said:
Enemies we came into this battle,
let us die friends"
I'm the name of Cod" said the other,
$50 let it be-"
One who lay near them related the
story, and said that he left them with
their hands clasped in death.
In the same battle Maj. Colburn, of
the Second Connecticut, captured Ger
man who had been member of the
Eighth South Carolina regiment.
The prisoner, with tears in his eyes,
said that his brother lay dying a short
distance off, and asked to be permitted
to see him. The major not only con-
sented but went with the man to log
hut but few yards away.
On the north side of the hut lay q
confederate soldier with his eyes
closed and the gray pallor Of death on
his face.
The prisoner spoke to him, and with
an effort he opened his eyes. The pris-
oner fell on his knees beside him, and,
kissing him, cried out in German:
my brother! Oh, my brother! What
will our poor widowed mother do when
she hears that you are dead and am a
prisoner?'
1T is Gods will. Let-us pray-as
when we knelt-beside-he knee"
And clasping hands, the brothers
prayed in whispers till death came to
one, and the thunder Of artillery and
the bursting of shells made it necessary
to send the other to the rear.
It was at Bull Run that stalwart
Irishman brought in three prisoners,
and when asked how he managed to
capture so many single handed, he
quickly replied:
BE jabbers, surrounded 'em!"
Nothing can better illustrate the
power of first impression than the expe-
rience related to me by soldier who
was for the first time under fire at
Bull Run, but who subsequently distin-
guished himself as an officer of unsur-
passed gallantry. He said:
II must confess that I was thor
oughly frightened, though I stayed in
the ranks until we were ordered back.
After the first great fire Of the enemy
upon our troops, great many men fell
wounded all around.
"And from many Of them the cry
went up: oh, God, have mercy on my
soul!' So earnest was the cry, and so
contagious, that I found myself making
almost unconsciously to myself the
same prayer over and over again, as
was fighting: oh, God, have mercy on
my soul!'
"For two or three nights after the
battle, though had the opportunity,
could not sleep. Ringing through my
ears at all hours of the day and night,
for weeks afterward, was the impas-
stoned, earnest cry, which cannot
describe, but never can forget: oh,
God, have mercy on my soul!' Only
men entering into eternity could utter

THEY 0BEYED GOLD JACK"
Sonewall JacksOn's Control Over Men
illustrated by an Ante-Bel-
lum Incident.

The power which was in the personal
presence OF 'Stonewall'' Jackson and
his influence over those with whom he
associated is well illustrated by an in
cident which happened early in 1861.
The convention which was to decide
the attitude of Virginia in the coming
conflict was in session in Richmond.
AS is we'll known, both the union and
the secession parties we're strong in
the state, and the delegates to the con-
vention were correspondingly divided in
sentiment, says Youths Companion.
The students and professors OF the
Virginia military institute, situated in
Lexington, Va, were almost unanimous
ly in favor of secession. At Washing
ton college, now Washington and Lee
university, in the same town, the union
sentiment prevailed.
One Sunday morning it was learned
that the national flag which had floated
over Washington college had been pulled
down in the night, and was lying in the
mud. The students suspected that the
students of the Virginia military insti-
tute were responsible for the outrage,
but having no proof, contented them
selves with cleaning the flag and re-
placing it.
1t was not long before group of STU
dents from the Virginia military insti-
tute stopped on their way by, and, in
the light of open day, undertook to haul
the flag down. This time the Wash
ington boys were on the alert, and, fall
ing upon the depredators, handled them
somewhat roughly and beat them from
the grounds.
The report that number of Washing
ton men had beaten one cadet without
provocation threw the institute into an
uproar, and the whole corps Immediate
ly turned out to avenge their comrade.
Aiming themselves with whatever they
could lay their hands on, they formed in
battle array and proceeded toward
Washington college. Their adversarieS,
although not so well drilled, armed
themselves in like manner, and awaited
the attack.
Jackson, then a major, was in church,
but an excited whisper from frightened
citizen who had hurried in appraised
him of what had happened. He calmly
rose and passed out, to find his whole
corps coming up the street in much dis
order, but with battle in their faces.
One glance at the scene, and his decision
was made.
AS quietly as he had left the church,
he placed himself at the head of the
corps, and began to give commands,
looking to the better order of the COL
umn. The boys we're reused to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm by the lead
ership of "Old Jack" and were quite
ready to kill every Washington boy who
opposed them Promptly came the
necessary commands for their forward
movement, and the citizens stood aghast.
Little by little the cadets fell into per-
feet order, and little by little their ODE
dienca to command became automatic.

German PianOa.

Germany heads the list of nations in
the manufacture of pianos, not only in
number and cheapness, but in average
of quality. A very fine instrument NAV
be bought there for $3.50. There are
435 piano factories in Germany, OF
which 14O are located in Berlin. In the
past 20 years the value of exports has
risen from $1,9oo,00O annually to &c.
100000. About 40 per cent. of these ex-
ports go to Great Britain. Argentine
Republic comes next in order and then
Belgium. Australia, Russia and Hol-
land each import about 81 100000 OF
German pianos yearly.-Trade Journal.

Indian Bride Blaxed Trail.

It is told of an Alaskan adventurer
that he chose a bride from one of the
Indian tribes up toward the 'Chilcoot
pass, took her to large and stately
hotel in a Canadian city, and one day
left her alone in their rooms while he
went out a while. He stayed longer
thar he had intended. aud she missed
him. Finally it became intolerable,
ana SIZE glided forth in search of him,
without paying any. attention to the
elevator. After a while some one re-
marked peculiar traces on the balus-
tiers and doors, when it transpired that
the Indian bride had blazed trail BY
which to retrace her steps. Perhapk
she didn't blaze it with a tomahawk,
but it was effectively done. Her hus-
band paid the damage.

following way it is really a delicious
drink: Put the yolk of an egg into a
dish with teaspoonful Of white sugar
and = teaspoonful of orange or lemon
juice and beat lightly together with a
fork. Put the white on plate and add
pinch of salt; then, with broad bladed
knife, beat it to stiff froth. Now, as
lightly as possible mix all together in
the dish then as lightly transfer it to
a clean tumbler, which 1t will nearly fill
if properly made. 1t must not stand
in a warm place, as 1t soon becomes
liquid and loses its snowy look. Any
fruit juice may be used In place of
orange or lemon.

HEALTH AND DISEASE.
Too Much of Ailments Instead
of Their OppOsites.

A woman physician, in addressing
her audience the other day, gave some
helpful suggestions as to the way of
looking at our bodily conditions. She
said: Health is contagious, much
more potently SO, too, than is disease.
I've about come to the conclusion that
we physicians study disease too much
and health too little to be of best use
to humanity. Why, during our stu
dent years, we have an average of
only one hour week devoted to n.y.
giene, and two, perhaps, to physiology.
All the rest of the time we're studying
disease. Now I believe that's just
the opposite of what we ought to do.
If we'd study health, talk health, act
health, believe disease would take
care of itself. And it's much the same
thing with temperance. If we, as
white ribboners, would make our
selves as lovely and lovable, as sweet
tempered and usefully womanly as we
possibly could land we can be none Of
these things unless we have sound
bodies), believe nothing would so
help the cause we all love- You know
it isn't much use to talk temperance
after your third cup of tea or coffee,
or your one too many helpings of pie
or even roast beef. It is not only in
temperate, it is unchristian, to have
dyspepsia. It is a disgrace to have
any ailment that common sense will
obviate. And it shows a lack of in
tellectuality to make each others all
ments and diseases the chief topic of
conversation. hope to live to see the
