method Of locomotion which is the pop
ular ideal Of what q woman's walk
should be.
Aside from her character a woman's
walk is an index to her breeding. The
girl who walks down the street swing
ing her arms like pump handles may
have the happiest disposition in the
world, but little restraint exerted over
her flying members would give the pass
ers-by a more favorable impression of
her bringing up and self-control.
A woman's walk should be light and
buoyant with head erect in a natural
position and chest up. All the move
ments should suggest ease. The leg
should swing out from the hip, and the
ball Of the foot should first strike the
ground-never the heel. The young
peasant women of southern Europe, who
are used to carrying baskets on their
heads, walk more like daughters Of the
gods than most Of our physical culture
advocates. and usually balancing a jar
or basket on the head will help one gain
q firm and erect walk, provided one prac-
tices in a room Of sufficient size or out
OF doors.
1t takes more practice to walk well
than to do many a more difficult feat.
but a graceful walk is a peculiar and
rare charm in either man or woman and
one worth seeking, for to achieve good
carriage is TO go long way toward de-
veloping those good qualities Of mind
and spirit that are indicated by the cor
rect walk

Woman Soldier.

Women, disguised as men, often
served as soldiers. The following
inscription is on q tombstone In the
English town Of Brighton: In mem
ory of Phoebe Hassel; born 171S, died
1921, aged 10S years. She served for
many years as a private soldier In
many parts of Europe. and at the bat
tie of Fontenoy, fighting bravely, she
received . bsyonet wound in the Left

the placing OF flowers In the senate
chamber. Speaker Cannon took the
matter into his own hands so far as
the house is concerned this year and
instructed the employees not to allow
any floral display on the floor OF the
house.
The giving Of flowers had been car
ried to a ridiculous extent. The desks
of members were so piled up with
floral pieces that nothing else could be
seen and the crowded hall looked more
like a floral exhibit than q legislative
chamber. It got to be so that the
friends Of various statesmen attempted
to outdo each other in the size and
gorgeousness Of the floral gifts that
were sent in on the first day of the
session.
It became q common practice that
secretaries to members and senators
would institute a regular campaign for
funds from clerks in the departments
who were from the district or state,
and these contributions were In q small
way a sort of blackmaiL. The poor
clerks believed they could improve
their standing with the senator or
member by giving up from their hard
earned stipends one to five dollars for
flowers. This practice became known
to leaders in congress and they deter
mined to put stop to II, and there
will be no more ostentatious display of
flowers on the members desks. The
exhibit always detracted from the dig
nifty Of congress, and 1t was a common
remark that men Of the least promi-
nence and ability usually secured the
biggest bouquet.

mob.
Il passed through a jealousy
guarded door and found myself in a
courtyard full of police officials, one
of whom promptly searched me for
weapons or bombs. Then l went
through a second court leading out
from the first and down twelve steps.
'In an atmosphere reeking with the
smell of carbolic acid, l came to a
sickening spectacle. There were
twenty-eight corpses laid out, stripped
to thS waist and with their upper gar
ments lying in a heap over their hips.
Eight of the number were women. The
face of n girl, who appeared to be
still a child, was badly disfgured. One
man had a gaping wound on the left
side of the forehead. The majority
were wounded in the mead. None had
the appearance of having been power
ty stricken. On the contrary all wore
good clothes, evidently holiday gar
ments. Not one appeared to be more
than 80 years of age.
"All the time there were urgent
calls of move on on the part of the
police, mingled with the bitter wall
ing and sobhing of the women over
bodies lying on the cold concrete floor.
Outside I heard angry %utterances,
entreaties and threats of the populace,
anxious to obtain admittance, while
the soldiers forced them back with
%bayonets. Demagogues seized the op-
portunity to address knots of people
on the subject of vengeance"
One of the widest scenes Of this
disorder followed the explosion of a
bomb lear the Vienna railroad sta
ton. Four persons were instantly
killed and a dozen were seriously in

DEATH OF FITzHUGH LEE

active life, being a veteran of three
wars. He served in the Mexican war,
was in the Confederate army during
the civil war. and his conspicuous
service in the Spanish war is current
history.
Gen. Lee, U. S. A., was one of vir-
ginia's foremost sons. He was born
in Claremont, Va, Nov. 10, 1885. His
father was Capt. Sydney Smith Lee,
who left the United States navy at
the outbreak of the civil war. Gen.
Lee was a grandson of Gen. Henry
Lee, Or Lighthouse Harry" and a
nephew of Gen. Robert e. Lee, and,
like him, saw active service in the
C%onfederacy.
He was appointed a cadet to West
Point in 1852, was graduated in 1856,
and assigned to the Second cavalry.
While on duty in the West he fought
a duel with a Comanche chief.
Gen. Lee had the proud distinction
of having twice held commissions in
the army of the United States and
once in that of the C~onfederacy.
81 wonder what Jubal Early will
say when he sees me marching up in
a blue uniform on judgment day?"
Gen. Lee used to ask his old comrade
in the ~Confederacy, but now a retired
officer of the regular army, Gen. Joe"
Wheeler.
Gen. Lee was appointed Consul Gen
eral at Havana by President Cleve-
land in 1896, when the Cubans were
making their final struggle for indie
%pendence. The blowing up of the
Maine precipitated war with the Unit
ed States. He was commissioned by
President Mckinley as an officer of
the army, and was present at the sur
render Of Havana.
At the time of his death Gen. Lee
was president of the exposition com.
pany engaged in concentrating the
settlement at jamestown, Va.
