War.

War.
Washington, D. c., July 24.-Liv-
ing in a room at No. 800 Twelfth
street, Northwest, the furniture of
which is three chairs, a single bed,
some books, writing table and
little oil stove, on which he cooks his
food, is Colonel John Singleton Mos
by, famous in the annals of the Civil
War as leader of the Partisan Rang
erS.
The famous old warrior, stern and
strong as in the days of the war, but
with tear in his eye, told to-day
how he had been dismissed from the
Department of Justice for no reason
known to himself. He was asked
whether he wouldgo on a vacation
this summer, and he said:
IA vacation? Why, am on per-
manent vacation. Attorney General
Wickersham gave no reason for dis
missing me. The newspapers said l
was superannuated."
A faint tear stole into the eye of
the brave old man of n years. He
surveyed his bare room, and the
tears came too fast to be wiped away
with his hand.
Il shall write my memoirs, out of
which hope to realize something"
and then his voice trembled for his
spirit was Inundated.
His gaze conferred on little bare
pine table, GU which was small oil
stove. On the table were a few
pieces of toasted bread and on the
floor under the table stood a can of
coffee.
They say am superannuated. 1
am no such thing. | am strong as l
ever was. lam old, it is true, but |
am strong, nevertheless.

fend Richmond from Grant, | still

Do Not Erinhten the Child.

There are some stories on the order of
Jack the Giant Killer which it were
quite as well not to admit to the nurse
nv. Unless the story is of soothing
nature it should not be related just be-
fore the child goes to bed. This is not
good time for stories, especially with
sensitive children The stories are apt
to awaken the imagination and leave
the brain too active, with the result
that sleep is slow to come and likely to
be restless and disturbed. Stories that
arouse fear should be avoided. How
ever. what will brighten one child will
not so affect another. To the child who
has never experienced the sensation OF
fear. stories very seldom awaken that
emotion, but if, on the other hand, the
child has been frightened 1t is necessary
10 he very careful not to stimulate that
emotion. for there is no other that mas
such a blighting effect on child. Inc
child who has never been taught to fear
bugaboos, ghosts, hobgoblings, bears
and other terrors that are permitted to
disturb children's minds, will not be
ovarsensitive about these things in
stories but if he is it is well to make
him understand that such things do not
bannen to children now. Such fears
have been known to be productive of
very serious results both physically ana
mentally. and the child should be most
% refuIlv guarded from them.
Another point to be considered is Inc
ending of the story. This should al
WAYS be pleasant, for a sad ending Is
FOO depressing to the child and leaves
him with q sense Of Dissatisfaction

Bran Bath Worth Trxinu.

One of the latest things for the nerv-
Gus woman who is trying to reduce her
fracuous nerves is the bran bath just
before retiring at night This not only
has a soothing effect, but incidentally
sottens and whitens the skin. To make
the bath buy ordinary bran at feed
store and keep it in a tin box away from
mice. Make a bag of cheesecloth, from
twelve to eighteen inches square, and
stuff it with bran until about as full as
a pine pillow. This bag is put in a
bathtub half filled with warm watel
and squeezed until the water is brown
and bubbly. 1t is not well to remain in
the water longer than five or six min
utes and, if possible, the bather should
rest ten minutes and then be massaged.
If there is one to do the massaging one
can rub the body thoroughly with a
rough towel and knead it with the
hands

Woman Won Worlds Admiration.

The ex-queen of Naples, Emperor
Francis Joseph's sister-in-law, is the
only woman who has received the Rus
- St George. which is only
conferred for acts of conspicuous BRAY
cry under fire, and the eX-queen re-
ceiYed it in recognition Of the courage
she displayed in connection with the
magnificent defense Of Gaeta against
the armies Of Garibaldi and King Vic
Tor Emmanuel One day during the
siege a bomb fell into the room where
Francis and Queen Sophia were
dining King Francis retreated to the
cellar trembling with fright. Queen
Sophia rose from the table and walked
% looking glass that hung on the
wall and, noticing that her hair was
Vhitened by the plaster dust raised by
the bursting bomb, said, quite calmly:
What a pity it is that powder is no
longer fashionable? Don't / look quite

Whitened hair2 I must keep it so while

Sophia conducted the entire defense OF

The laxative Woman.

There seems to be in the majority Of
women some instinct which urges them
n tell everything they know to at least
p large half Of their friends. Diplomats
NJ large affairs have Il motto-which
-hey are said to carry in their hats
containing five words: do not talk TOO
-nuch.n These silent gentlemen, skilled
IN the practice of conducting negotia-
-ios betwaep nations, have learned that
p talker pitted against one who can
keep his own counsel has the worst Of
The matter. He puts his adversary in
rossession of his weak and strong
points Chowever much he may try to
cover then) and gets nothing in return.
The loquacious man, then, proceeds on
his way quite as much in the dark as
before, while the man who sat with
closed lips is furnished with a very
strong searchlight for the expedition.
Might not the diplomats motto be
helpfully inscribed in the hat-crowns of
some less important personages?
The woman who talks necessarily
must pay something, and the chances
ere that she is forever making trouble
for herself as well as for others. The
habit Of talking becomes fixed. She
cannot keep a secret, and from the very
love Of hearing her own voice she is
very apt to elongate and interpolate
sewing-circle condolences past recogni-
ton She is therefore, forever in hot
water She is not quite lovable as a
wife, not quite wholesome as mother,
nor quite safe as a friend. On the other
hand, the habit Of holding ones counsel
may be carried to an absurd extreme;
there is a time to speak as well as a
time to hold ones peace. The happy
medium is to be desired wherein we
think as we'll as talk, where sincerity is
considered before the love Of words,
where we stop to ask ourselves 1t is
really better for anyone that 1 should
give utterance to the thought in mind.
The mental pose is strengthened by this
habit of thought, we talk with more in
telligence, and we viii soon find that we
ere listened to with more consideration
and interest. It is not as easy to form
the habit of thinking as the habit of
talking without thought, But it can be
done and is it not worth while?-EX-
tension,

Take Time to Think.

Many a poor soul has laid down her
life in fear of the miseries that never
happened and the hard luck that never
materialized. The sweetness of evers
day existence is totally destroyed by
anticipating the dreadful things that
are not likely to occur. You can over
come the inclination to worry and fret
if you will pull yourself together in
stead of swinging with the current of
everv foolish thought. When you are
an old woman and you realize that
your days are few and limited, you
will wish that you had invested your
fortune of months and years so that it
would have brought you a steady in
come of happiness and content
