Weary Weeks Of Waiting.

and months, it seemed TO some

the men, organizing the companies and
getting the recruits uniformed acted on
me like tonic. ceased TO brood over
my disappointment, and, while my love
for Miss Ellen was as great as ever,
yet felt that had regained my man
hood, and the war spirit, once aroused
in me, drove me like master. The
day Of quitting the state was a sad one
for many, but it was not so for me.
My heart bounded with Joy when the
order for our movement was read at
headquarters. OF all the officers I
think | was the only one whose de
parture was not blessed with tears of
mother, sister or sweetheart. My IA
ther, now old and feeble, came to see
me, and his eyes became wet as he
beheId me for tho first tine in my uni
form and folded me IN his arms. My
mother had long been dead-in fact, /
could scarcely remember her at all.
Before saying goodby to my father l
gave him letter and made him prom
ise that should anything happen to me
he would send it to the address on the
envelope.
He looked at me sadly for a moment
and-said:
docs she 1--we in tho south, Howard,
and is that why you have stayed away
so longT'
l told him yes and turned away my
head that he might not soc what It had
cost me to speak Of her. He laid his
hand gently on my shoulder and said,

there, my son." and thought / under

knew thon why he never had anything
but what was kind to say OF that south
ern country when he heard 1t under
discussion. l grasped his hand and
held II for moment.
May God protect you and bring
you safe to me again." was all he said
and left me.
Our regiment was only ordered to
Camp Meade, bot il was start. The
shall never forget the shout our boys
put up when the order which turned
our face TO Camp Thomas, at Chicka-
mauGa, was read to them. Ii set our
blood on fire, and cannot reprcSs my

WASHING RIBBONS.
How to Make Them Look New and
Fresh.

Fresh.
Ribbons which are not really dirty,
but Just crumpled or out of condition,
may be freshened by being rubbed on
both sides with a soft muslin to free
them from dust, then pressed with
hot iron under piece of fine wet mus
lin If dirty they may be STEPPED first
for few minutes In cold sailed water
Ito set the colors), then put into warm
soapy water, moved about in 1t and
drawn through the hand without crum-
pling until quite clean, then rinsed In
nearly cold water. Gum arabic solu-
ton may be put into the last rinsing
water to give back to the ribbon Its
former slight stiffness Squeezing is
not allowable, so a towel must be used,
the ribbon being spread out smoothly
and rolled up In 1t.
For silks of delicate colorlng the old
fashioned method of washing In potato
water Is recommended, two or three
large potatoes being grated into pint
of tepid water, left to steep awhile and
the water strained or poured off clear.
This may be used either Tor Washng
or sponging. the ribbon in the latter
case being laid out on a table, sponged
well on both sides, dipped in clear wa
ter and, If of one color, hung up to
drip and dry. Soapy water may be
used in the same way, or for ribbons
which ara aot really dirty sponging
with gum arabic solution will be a
good IBaah MS of revival.
In any case the after process of iron
ing should be. done over covering of
fine muslin or tissue paper, the bare
iron being used for finishing off when
the ribbon is quite dry. If not requir-
ed for use at once it should be rolled
around cam hcr or cardboard cylin-
der or anythiD which will prevent its
being pressed INTO hard folds.

an eminent Shakespearian scholar
dwelt on the virtues of his favorite
author. At the close of the meeting
the Scot approached the lecturer, and
the following dialogue took place:
"Ye think a fine lot o. Shakespeare,

"An' We think he was mair clever

A Great Age.

Every era In the worlds history has
probably thought of itself as just a
little better than any other. which we
may ascribe to sort of temporal van
ity akin to provincialism. Yet 1t Is
not wholly vanity or shortsighted
glorification of the present to magnify
our own times. MOmentous events are
now taking place in the world, not
only in the political realm, but in sci
ence, invention and industry. The
Chinese revolution, the Balkan war
and the taking over of Morocco by
France and Of Tripoli by Italy are
drst class events that will take their
place in history. So of the invention
of the aeroplane and of wireless, to
say nothing of the important advances
In medical science and the spread of
commerce.
In the creation Of great literature.
art and music, perhaps we are weak.
At least, IL we are producing master
pieces, we do not ourselves recognize
them. Sometimes 1t requires fifty or
a hundred years for the world to ap-
preciate a genius, his own generation
passing him by with Indifference and
neglect. Yet 1t is safe to say that no
Shakespeares or Goethes, no Raphaels
or Da vincis, no Mozarts or Beethoyens
are now working among us. With all
the search for new talent some one
would surely recognize them If they
were here.
In the world of art, music and poetry
we yield the palm to the great ages
that have gone. But in political, In
dustrial and scientific progress we
need not be so modest.
