THIRTY GENERALS STILL SURVIVE.
List Compiled Of Commanding Officers
OF Confederate Forces.

Some controversy has arisen among
members of X. E. Lee Camp, Confed-
crate Veterans, and others as tn tho
number of surviving general officers
of the Confederate service. To settle
what has promised to- be a heated de-
bate, the matter was referred to Cen
erai Marcus j. Wright, of Washing ton.
who has access to some official records
and who has compiled list showing
that there now survive of the armies of
the Confederacy one lieutenant-peneral
four major-generals and twenty-five
brigadiers. 1t should be remembered
that the organization of the United
Confederate Veterans has christened
many generals in command of veteran
divisions who were never commissioned
during active service, and these General
Wright bars from his list. He invites
any corrections or correspondence which
will lead to the maintenance of q COR
rect list of the surviving general officers
of struggle which ended forty-fiye
years ago. 1t would appear that manv
very young men reached the distinction
of commission as brigadier-general in
the Confederate service.

DO EYES SEE DIFFERENT?
Strange Theory Says Man With Dark
Optics Sees Different World
From That Of NeiehbOr
With LIGHT Ones.

There is strange theory afloat that
the man who has blue eyes sees an
entirely different world from his neigh
Dor, whose optics are brown or black in
color. The theory seems borne out in
many great paintings and long and
wordy wars have been waged between
blue and brown eyed critics over the
accuracy of certain colorings in the
clouds. the trees or the grasses.
Certain impressionistic souls with i'm
presslonistic eyes paint pictures of
scenes, OF marines. of sunsets such as
the man with the different colored eyes
claim never we've seen on the ealt tn
within the memory of civilized man.
Does the blue-yed one live in a differ
ent world from the man with the ewes
OF brown so far as colors are concerned?
Does the world look gloomy to some
folks and bright and cherry to others
Tor the same reason? The only way to
definitely settle the matter would be to
transpose the organs of sight from two
subjects OF widely different makeup
and get their impressions after the
optic nerves had knitted on the bor-
rowed eyes.
Would the man who had looked ont
on the world through a blue-colored
IRIS, notice any difference when the
light that came to his nerve of sight
was filtered through an opening of
deep brown? Would his nature change
from the gay and possibly careless to
the sober and morOse. Would the man
who had all his life been reserved and
inclined to melancholy grow reckless
and abandoned when the outlook on the
world came through a lighter colored
window?
1t Is we'll known that colors readily
and strongly influence the human mind
Green light falling over a room is rest
full to the tired eye. The peculiar sil-
very light of the moon is productive of
sort of moon madness that accomna-
MES sweethearting days. Red light Of
the subdued sort gives that warm
homelike look to room or a hallway
that no other light can produce.
Certain lights that clash on human
sensibiiities very strongly cause whole
room full of people to be irritable and
even quarrelsOme, where a subdued
light would have meant peace and har-
mony to the final moment of the gath
ering. Certain alienists have argued
that eyes that were untitled to an oppo-
site nervous organization might possi-
bly, be the cause of unbalanced minds
Where nature by mistake gives some
effervescent and buoyant nature a pair
of somber eyes that see things in their
darkness colorings, the result would be
continual jarring upon the natural
feelings. The result of the opposite
combination would be just as disquiet-
ing IL would be like throwing the full
light of a monday sun upon a sleepv
and tired worker who longed for the

THE MARCH.

We must keep the pace of the strongest
| the terrible stride that kills,
That the goddess smile on our endless
ranks as she lures from the golden
hills.
Let the weak of body and soul go down
let come what evil comesi
So we lag no step in the terrible march
close to the rolling drums.
Are any too weak TO maintain the stride?
Pass on March over Set
Your heel on the roadway paved with
souls 'Tis only the weak regret !
A thousand blooms must fade in bud
that one perfect rose may be;
So thousand men must fall that one
may hold the earth in fee.
We must keep the pace of the strong
est-must step as with thews of
Steel
Though the body faint meath the rack
ing stride, though the famished
spirit reel.
Though the day drag on into weary
years, the steps into endless miles,
Keep pace and no for the heights be-
yond where the Turing goddess
smiles
We must keep the pace of the strongest
walk close TO the rolling drums;
Beat down, pass over, break with the
heel whoever before us comesI
Do we sell our souls He wins the world
who harks to the goddess's cryl
WHO wins must march % Keep pace
or else fall out to the rear and die.

Tue CUTTING OF THE JEWEL. BY
THE GRINDING OF THE STONE.

have met lot of people
on my journey here below.
who were always discontented-
6rumbling bout their lot of woe
Never seem to know the blessing
That a trial might secrete.
or IN passing take lesson
From the beggar on the street
but they fancied that the roses
Should be grown without thorn.
That 1T ought to rain at midnight
= And be pleasant i'm the morn.
And they never stop to listen,
Or to reason out alone,
That jewel owes its luster
10 the grinding of the stone.
With the humble and the lowIy,
With the aged and the youth,
with the saint and the sinner,
For the evil or the truth,
With the Monarch and the Noble.
With the naughty and the proud,
With the beauty, or the woman
Who must battle in the crowd,
There is but to learn by labor
And by facing every day,
What there is of JOY or sorrow,
That there may come their troubled
way,
And to know that every struggle
That a tempting fate has thrown
is the cutting of the jewel
Or the grinding of the stone.
In the soul of every moral,
Hidden deep from ever them
Lies buried treasure. waiting.
That shall be n precious gem,
III they will but delve and find it
Meath the surface of the clay,
And will throw the dust and ashes
And the lust of earth away.
Cherish it, and keep it fiawless
Till the Faithful, Masters hand.
With it's skill of love and patience
That we can not understand,
Shall have ground and cut it truly,
And returned it for our own,
And it sparkles like the jewel
by the grinding of the stone.
If duty be unpleasant,
'Tis duty still to do,
And the false that is successful
is but passing, while the true
That has failed to win it's mission,
Shall but yield the better ends
When the battle shall be over
And the victor comprehends,
For the coward knows his measure
And he hates himself theImostl
And the braggart is as empty
AS the echo of his boast.
But to he who is courageous
Shall the honor yet be known
As the luster to the jewel
BY the grinding of the stone.

TO BE WELL-BRED.

breeding is the one thing in our mer
cenary land that cannot be bought. N
amount OF money or position will max
up Tor that indefinable something whicl
we call being well-bred.
The well-bred girl may be as poor a
that proverbial mouse of church,,
haunts, but no one will ever question
her right to be called lady, in the goo,
Old sense of woman of refined feelins
and deeds.
hudeness Is something that the we'll
bred girl never permits herself. How
ever much she may be tempted to be
snubby or cutting when people deserve
IL she remembers that paying one back
In ones own coin is ill-bred.
Good breeding, while often a matter
OF inheritance, is more often due to care
fnl training and a desire not to hurt
another's feelings. The girl who is
weli-bred never presumes upon her
position. nor is she loud and conspicuous
IN appearance or manner.
The well-bred girl rarely apoIopizes
She does not do or say things that make
apologies necessary, and she does not
feel apologetic for her environments
however simple.
III the truest hospitality is To give
strangers exactly what one has without
comment, so it is also sign of good
breeding. To make a splurge for out
siders. that outsiders know to he a
splurge which can be ILL afforded ia a
sign that one does not feel socially
secure.
The well-bred girl does not gossip nor
carry tales nor talk scandal. All the
other girls may do it. and it NAV seem
quite harmless and amusing, but il is
something that the girl of truly refined
feelings finds revolving.
IL for no other reason, a girl should
shun talk that she would not be WILLING
to stand by, because it often leads TO
unpleasant scenes and involves others
in network of disagreeableness that is
anything but sign of good breeding.
The well-bred girl is not boastful. ap-
gressive, nor unduly self-assertive
Above all, she is not a toady. There is
no surer sign of lack of breeding than
to strive to curry favor with one who.
by force of circumstances. may have
more money or influence than you have
Gushing or disclosing ones private
affairs to scoffing world is anything
but well-bred. A quiet, interested.
gracious manner that has it's reserves
leaves no doubt as to the claims of a pirl
or woman to good breeding.
The well-bred girl is the self-respect-
ing girl: she will no more permit i'm
pertinences than she would think of
Offering them. She knows she is a lady.
and asks no more than to act the part
and to be treated as lady should be.
No one ever heard of a girl of good
breeding speak of herself as well-bred.
1t is too much a matter of course. as
much part of her as eyes or hand

LEARN TO USE BOTH HANDS
Some Remarkable Cures Which Are aid
To Ambidexterity.

German educators are deenlv ;ntor
es'ed at present in movement which
mas been started for the cultivation of
ambldexterity. The idea is that the
development of the power to use both
hands equally well means the deyelon-
ment OF the intelligence in general and
the memory in particular. The advo-
cater of the movement states the case
thus; While right handed people have
the language center on the left side of
the brain, people who are ambidex-
trous have two language centers. one
on each side of the brain. The infant
begins life with two speech centers.
but as the right hand is gradually
trained and the left neglected one
speech center gradually grows ineffec-
tive and useless. 1t is argued that bv
the cultivation of the left hand the ca
pacity of the right speech center of the
brain can be revived and that the intel
ligence can be broadened as ambidex-
terlty increases the utility of a human
beings hands.
Instances are cited by supporters of
the movement in which practice with
the left hand has rescued a power os
speech until then paralyzed. A patient
was stricken with paralysis of the left
center of speech and along with it pa
raiysis ofthe right hand. The doctors
started to teach the patient to write
with the left hand. with the result that
the power of speech was awakened in
the right center of speech.
Another case was that of a bow who
at the age of l3 lost his left hand. but
soon learned to do fairly well with an
artificial member. At the age of 30 he
suffered stroke of paralysis which
robbed him of the power of speech. Bv
means of a small ring with a pen at
tached to it fixed to the artificial hand
ne practiced writing and not only re-
covered his ability to converse in Ger
man but also in French and Russian
which he had forgotten.
AS matter of fact ambidexterity is
necessary in several professions and
occupations. Surgery and piano play
ing may be given as examples. Many
military authorities are strongly in ia
vor of teaching soldiers to be ambidex-
trous in the use of the pistol, lance and
sword.

A|RSH|P FOR POPE

Rome, Oct. According to some
of the Rome papers. the pope has been
somewhat embarrassed by an intima-
ton from wellknown French firm
Of manufacturers that they would like
to make His Holiness a present Of an
aeroplane. The pope never likes to
refuse gifts offered by good Catholics,
but an aeroplane would appear to be
about as useful as white elephont
at the Vatican, and His Holiness, &C.
cordingly expressed his appreciation
Of the spirit which prompted the offer
and while intimating that he had the
greatest interest in aviation and con-
fidence in its future, explained that he
really had no use for an aeroplane.
for the present at any rate. He there
fore asked them to await possibly
more favorable occasion in the fu-
ture. 1t Is stated that the same firm
will now offer an aeroplane to Car
dinal Merry del Val, who may posi-
bly, see his way to accepting it.
