GENERAL OFFICERS IN BATTLE.
Number Killed In the Civil War Greater
than in the Eastern Conflict.

From the archives of the Confederacy on de-
posit in the War Department the military Sec
retary, Major General Ainsworth has brought
TO light some interesting data concerning the
commanders of the Confederate forces in the
field in the fateful days of 1S61'65-
Deducting eleven names of officers who did
not qualify for reason another, we have
in this list 415 generals. and the records given
show that of these seventy-fOur were killed or
mortaly wounded in action, or is per cent

they must be very few; whereas. the percentage
of casualties among the general oIncerS or the
Confederacy is far in excess of the percentage
of casualties in the rank and file OF the Rus
sian and Japanese armies as given by Gen
eral Bliss, who has the best of facilities for
learning the facts. No fewer than twenty three
general officers of the COnfederaCy were killed
in battle during the eleven months of campaign

ending with Appomattox. Ten brigadier gen

Sheet metal sash and casing have been used before
but having been put together with solder or some
other equally fusble material, the window would
fall apart when attacked by fire. And there have
been other windows with just claims TO be termed
freproof under proper conditions; but to them has
been found the fatal objection that they opened by
raising. and. as often not. sudden outbreak OF
fire would find the sash open, and these otherwise
freproof windows then would present dsfence

Make the Table Pretty.

The comfort and enjoyment of a meal
must tc great extent depend upon the
arrangement of the table.
If 1t is carelessly laid, with unpol-
ished silver and glass, a dirty table
cloth, and no flowers, IT is not likely
that those who sit around il will care
than is absolutely necessary.
Just as much care should be taken
in laying the table for the home meal
as for a dinner party. Doubtless there
will not be as many articles used or
quite such elaborate flower arrange
ments; but everything should be at any
rate spotleSsly clean and bright, and
| flowers of some kind, or plant. should
always be on the table.
1t does not need expensive glass or
china or table linen TO make table
| look inviting. Cheap glass, If IL has beer
chosen with taste, and very inexpensive
china, may decorate the table; but II
these belongings are clean and bright
they will look far better than they
even though ever so costly.
II is no use taking pains. with the
laying of the table If the room is un-
tidy. The first thing TO be done. then
| is to see that the room is quite clean
and free from dust.
The tablecloth is the next considera-
ton. This should be quite clean, OF
course, and as fresh as possible. If il
Is TO look we'll il must never be put
on the table singly with nothing be-
cloth or a piece of thick flannel should
always be placed beneath il.
Besides looking better. anything
spilled is not so likely to injure tbs
touch. and dishes can be placed on il
more quietly.

brown hair should wear a brown hat
and the woman with red hair should
wear q hat in dark red tone, and so on.
If you are going to buy a hat, match
your hair.
1.-The second best thing is TO match
the hat to the eyes. The woman with
big brown eyes should wear a big
