forded some shelter. Here the advance
(the lines having become spread out
with men scattered) halted to catch
breath and to await the men coming
forward. Two or three minutes after
reaching this point looked over into
the lines of the Second brigade and saw
an officer talking earnestly to the men,
and in a short time the lines moved
forward in the last and final effort
The men of Wagner's brigade lay
directly in front of the battery and as
they moved forward and rose above
the sheltering bank they received a
great holes in their ranks, causing
them to falter for moment, but mo-
ment only. Immediately the files were
closed, and, cneered and encouraged by
their officers and with determination
on their own part, they rushed directly
forward toward the guns Seeing and
knowing what they were about to at
tempt l could only stop and look, fox-
getting my own danger in admiration
of such magnificent courage. On they
went, right into the flash of the guns,
the torn and ragged edges of their
clothes and colors seeming to catch fire
as the flame enveloped them.
''All the regimental flags of the bri-
gade were represented in the charge,

was glory enough wrapped up in the
folds of that flag to make whole state

the guns the line was broken just at
the right battery, and in minute all
were over the works and the enemy
was fleeing down the other side of the

blouses through a window.
In the most exclusive importing es-
adjustments the simple French blouse
is the thing. Simple it is in line, but
1t atones for this concession by an ex-
travagance in handwork that brings it's
est up to distressing heights.
Tiny hand tucks, inset lace, open
stitching, hand embroidery are all Law
ishly used, though eccentricity of
berthe or collar or sleeve is conspicu-
GUS by its absence. Exquisite fineness
Of material and extreme daintiness in
needlework are the making of these
French blouses. which are tucked or
shirred on the shoulders and have bish-
op sleeves and transparent collar and
wrist bands.
They are made of finest lawn, mule,
batiste, ETC., and the most charming of
them are ornamented by delicate trail
ing vines and flower clusters of hand
embroidery and by real valenciennes
lace and insertion.
There are, too, blouses of the same
description made of fine China silk,
embroidered in silk of the color of the
material. Finest openwork embroidery
of batiste and English eyelet embroid-
cry on silk are made up into blouses
cut upon these same simple lines and
trimmed very slightly with valencien-
nes edging.
The tiny frill on the under Pierrot
ruche at the throat is seen upon some
Of the French blouses, and occasionally
little frill runs down center opening
in the front, but generally the blouses
open in the back, in order to give un-
interrupted space for the embroidery
or inset lace on the 'front.'

A REMARKABLE REGIMENT.
The Thirty Seventh Volunteers Were
Known as the "Gray Heads
of Iowa."

We have often heard it remarked,
''old men for council and young men
for war;" but the struggle between the
north and the south proved conclu-
sively that old men were not only fit
ted for council, but that they could also
endure hardships, and fight as we'll
as the younger men, says the American
Tribune.
It was not at all unusual to see men
of so or 60 in regiments with boys
of IS, but one whole regiment COM
posed exclusively of men who had
passed the meridian Of life. is some
what out of the ordinary. and I won
der that the following fact is not better
known among people interested in war
memories:
There was no more gallant or relia-
BILE body of men sent into the war from
either side, than the Thirty-seventh
Iowa volunteers.
The striking popularity Of this body
of men was that .nine-tenths Of the Of
ficers and men had gray hair and gray
boards.
Indeed, they were given the name
''The Gray-head Regiment" and as
such they were distinguished upon some
of the bloodiest battle fields of the Mis-
sissippi valley.
Only one man in fourteen in that regi-
ment, was bachelor; and out of 900
men of the rank and file, 227 had sons
fighting in other regiments, and one old
man had two sons fighting in the con-
federate army.
From this regiment there never was
a Gaze of desertion; during their service
only one man was arrested, and that was
only for drunkenness, and they brought
back their tattered colors after rescuine
them twice from the grasp of the en-
envy.
All honor! say we, to the gallant
"Gray-heads" of Iowa.

saw few new race coats, and great
junction with white and champagne
shades of cloth, with beautifully en-
5roidered trimmings.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the spring modes is the quantity OF
lace used on everything, but especially
IN headgear. The lace veil or scarf
that Grapes the brims of the hats and
falls into a curtain behind has become
an inevitable feature in millinery for
the moment. Some people look very
charming in these lace effects. 1t Is
owing to the fact that lace scarfs and
veils forms q complete trimming In
themselves that so many of the new
shapes in vogue are very simple.
The "Shepherdess" shape and the
old dolly Warden" still continue de
rigueur, while the plain, straight lines
Of the old masters, with the addition
of strings in some cases, give evidence
of the excellent taste of the Partisan
milliners. Nothing after all can be
better style than these decisive lines
in beautifully light, fancy straws, Leg
horns and crinolines, rendered soft and
becoming by this drapery of old lace.
The simplest Breton sailor has same
scarf-like arrangement on it. say, a
simple twist of gauze in shaded brown
chiffon with a broad border, which can
be tackled or pinned on with fancy
pins round the crown and the brim and
allowed to fall over the face or over the
couture at the back, as desired by the
wearer. These wells are peculiarly fas-
chatting and, II well arranged, exceed
ingly chic; they are tremendous i'm
provement on the old idea Of q thick
ace veil coming from poke bonnet!
Some of these curtain" effects make
the plainest hat a thing of real beauty.
or nothing is a more becoming back
ground for either a young or old face
than chantilly or gauze. Possessors of
|'old lace wells have already the essential
part Of the-chapeau Of to-day.
The scarf and the veil are truly in
dieative of the early Victorian period.
AS seen in old-world fashion plates we
do not perhaps realize their beauty,
but to-day what Americans cali the

IKE wells In lace, net, silk. gauze. etc..

Very beautiful are the colorings used
to-day. The fancy for browns and vel
lows has not disappeared, and it fs ex-
traordinary how lovely roses can be
mixed in dozen shades from darkest
brown to brightest orange, blended
with tulle and lace, and forming an ex-

Some Big FLYERS.

OF birds now in existence, probably
the one with the greatest expanse OF
wing in proportion to the body, and
with the greatest power of fight, is the
frigate or man-o'-war bird. This bird
apparently flies more by skill than by
strength, for it har no great carrying
powers. The wandering albatross, the
largest Of all sea blrds, is also one of
our strongest flyers. One bird was
known to fly at least $3.50 miles in
~ days: This bird was caught, tagged,
released and caught again. From ma

A Dukes Treasures

In illustration of the lavishness with
which Chatsworth house is endowed
with art treasures and of the distract
element which is supposed to be feat
ure of the duke of DevOnshire's mind
an amusing story went the round of the
French press at the time of the last Paris
exhibition. The duke. it was said, was
strolling through the loan section of the
English exhibits with a friend and
stopped to look with admiration at a
prophyry table of matchless beauty. He
examined it long with the eye of con-
noisseur and at last exclaimed: Il won
der who is the owner of such beautiful
specimen of workmanship. Ialmost feel
inclined to envy him." His companion,
who had consulted the catalogue,
handed it to him with a smile. It con-
tanned the information that the table
came from Chatsworth house and was
lent. by the duke of Devonshire.-Lon-

No More Barrels Of Matches.
Senator Hoar bewails the innovation
recently introduced at that end of the
capitol in the purchase of matches. Al
most since the time that friction matches
were invented the senate has been re-
ceiving its supply in little, round,
wooden boxes. Matches in these boxes
have been for years kept about the cap
itol. When, in Mr.. Hoar's committee
room, some one asked for matches, the
senator would remark: why, we have
barrels of Matches" and forthwith, at
the utterance of the bon mot, round
box would be produced.
Now the purchasing agent of the SEN
ate has DECIDED to buy matches in the
usual paper boxes with which the gen.
eral public is familiar That is consider
ably less expensive, but it puts an end
to "barrels of matches" in the senate
committee on the judiciary.-Washing
