A Woman of the confederacy.

"A Woman OF the SOnIcucTdSys
"a brave woman is braver than q

his book, -Four Years Under Marse
Robert" He tells this story as an IL
lustration of woman's courage: Dur
ing the bombardment of Fredericks-
burg he was sent into the town with
a message for General Barksdale. AS
he was riding down the street that
led to the Generals headquarters 1t
appeared to be so fearfully swept by
artillery fire that he started to ride
across 1t, with view of finding some
safer way of getting to his destina-
ton. Just then he happened to glance
beyond that point, and saw n lone
woman walking quietly and uncon-
cernedly along the same street, and
approaching General Barksdale's head
quarters from the opposite direction.
She apparently found very interest
ing the projectiles which were scream
ing and exploding in the air, and strik-
ing and crashing through the houses,
and tearing up the streets. She step
ped a little aside to inspect a great,
gaping hole which shell had just
gouged out of the sidewalk, then turn

sion in the air.

avoid a fire which was merely inter-

street. On reaching the house, rode

the woman had gone up on the porch
and was knocking at the door.
One Of the staff came, and on see

you doing here? Do go to some safe
place If you can find one
She smiled and said, Young gentle
man, will you please say to General
Barksdale that lady at the door wish

The young man assured her General
Barksdale could not see her, but she
persisted. General Barksdale Is a
Southern gentleman, sir, and will not
refuse to see a lady who has called
upon him."
The General did come to the door,
wringing his hands in excitement and
annoyance "For heavens sake, mad
am, go and seek some place of safety.
I'll send a member of my staff to help
you find one"
She smiled again, and said, "Gener-
al, my COW has just been killed in my
stable by shell. She is very fat, and

ONCE A MONTH IS ENOUGH.
A Sensible Talk About Shampooine
Which Should Be Needed by
Every Woman. II

Except for unusual conditions, not
even the most oily heads of hair should
be shampooed often than once in two
weeks, and usually once month IS
quite often enough. In the case of very
dry hair even a longer interval-say
six weeks-is a good rule. In favora-
BILE weather sun baths are excellent for
the hair and so it is good plan to go
bareheaded as much as possible In
summer.
There is no better shampoo for the
hair than an egg, we'll beaten with
about an ounce of water and rubbed
thoroughly into the scalp, for it is not
merely detergent, cleansing the scalp
and hair of the dirt, but is tonic in its
effects and strengthens the scalp. The

the forehead and going back to the
crown, then forward to the temples and
back and forth, until the fingers OF the
two hands meet at the nape or the
neck. The ends of the fingers (not the
nails) must press the scalp firmly but
gently, so that you will feel it move
under them.
The hair must be thoroughly rinsed.

secure reaction. If the head can be
held under running water or sprayed
with douche, so much the better.
Long hair should be gathered up in
loose locks and well lathered and
rubbed between the palms before the
| rinsing begins. Wipe the hair as dry
as possible in warm towels. In warm
weather, finish the task in the open

massage and when every particle OF
moisture has evaporated rub in little

presence with SO little warning, and
she surmised the British officer had
persisted in following at his heels.
1t was somewhat haughtily, there
fore, that she drew down the sleeves
of her gown and turned to meet the:
visitor, who stood in the entrance.
He looked both astonished and en-

face came within range of his vision.

The Force of Imagination.

: Max O'Rell died as he had lived,
passing humorous messages about
among his friends During his tour
through Australia some years ago
death was once close upon him, as it
seemed to him at the time. Lying in
bed one night in a Bush hostelry,
worried by mosquitoes and thinking
of the snakes against which he had
been warned. he became aware of the
presence alongside him of a cold,
treacherous snake, probably a death
adder. as it was only about three
feet long. Death from the bite of
this playful adder is rapid and pain
less. and the Frenchman recorded
afterwards his reflection that it was
better perhaps to die that way than
of govt or rheumatism. After an
hour of agony, however, he slipped
out of bed, struck a light and went
about the room searching for the fa>
vorite walking stick he had carried
specially for defense against reptiles.
After weary and nervous hunt he
found it at last among the disor.
