mourned Predooosaor.
He had asked her to be “his’n," and
she had made np her mind that she bad <
“worked out” long enough anyway. So ■
she accepted him. She was perfectly '
satisfied with her place, but she wanted ,
to have u house of her own. So they
were married.
It wasn’t long afterward that she '
came back to see her former mistress
about something, and the latter noticed ,
that she was wearing mourning. Oi ,
course she was sorry for her and was '
rather surprised that she made no men

Finally the former mistress brought ;
up the subject herselt
“You are in mourning, Maggie, ” she .
suggested.
••Yes,” replied Maggie complacent
ly, and with no show of feeling at all.
“I t’ought it was the least I could do
fer ’im.” ,
“It is showing no more than proper
respect of course. lam very sorry. It
must have been a great shock.”
“Great shock!” exclaimed Maggie in
surprise. Then as she grasped the idea .
she went on, “Ob, he ain’t dead,” with ,
the accent on "he.”
“You haven’t lost your husband?”
Maggie shook her head.
“Then why are you in such deep ,
mourning?’ *
“Just to please the poor lad,” an- ‘
rwered Maggie. “Yon see, it’s this ,
way,’’she went on when she had de-,
aided to tell the story. “After we wan

GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE.
Saahea Worn by Army Sturgeons and TheiJ
History.
A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
It is not so much an insignia of rank as
it is a protection to the wearer. Accord
ing to the code of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To delib
erately shoot a surgeon while he ii
wearing his sash is considered a viola
tion of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons of
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army if it is possi
ble for them to do so. During the civil
war it was often the case that after a
battle the field hospitals would contain
almost an equal number of men dressed
in blue and gray. The Federal army
bad the best surgeons and the best
stores, and a wounded Confederate con
sidered himself in great luck if he was
removed to a Federal hospital to be
cared for by Federal surgeons and phy
sicians.
But in the heat of battle a green sash
is not much protection, and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But thia
did not keep the surgeons at the rear
until the battle was over. They were
often found in the thick of the fray,
dressing wounds and sending the wound
ed to the rear. Theirs was a perilous as
well as a noble duty, and they perform
ed it well. —Omaha World-Herald.
A Popular Choice.
Lady Castlerosse heads the list of tbs
newly elected poor law guardians oi
Killarney. She Was nominated by her
father-in-law, the Earl of Kenmara.
Her election, it is said, has aroused ths
greatest interest among Ireland’s poor,
who hope that if members of the aris
tocracy take np such duties larger meas
ures for the relief at distress will fol
low.
If you would be well spoken of, learn
to speak well of others, and when you
have learned to speak well endeavor
likewise to do well, and thus you will
reap the fruit of being well spoken of.

SHALL THE WALTZ GO!
profaaaws Think Our Froneneaa to Romp
Haa Killed It.
The best known dancing masters of
New York gave Tha Journal the follow
ing statements of their views oonoem
ing the waltz:
Professor Augusto Francioli said: “B
is true that the waltz as a society dance
is a thing of the past It will always
hold its own so long as dancing is done
on the stage. The reason for its disap
pearance is the popularity of the min
uet, than which there could not be a
more stately or refined dance. My opin
ion is that the quality of grace is to be
developed to the exclusion of romping,
which has nothing but the exhilaration
of exercise to recommend it Society
people will now affect the minuet and
the gavot; will learn to use the arms
with grace in the dance and abandon
that harnm scarum, degenerate, vulgar,
ungraceful thing, the nineteenth cen
tury waltz and its hoidenish compan
ions, the quickstep and polka and the
like.
“I believe we are to enjoy a renais
sance of the beautiful costuming of the
middle ages, a necessary accompani
ment of the reform in dancing. ”
Professor Lawrence Dare said: “The
waltz has become a romp. lam sorry
to say it, but I must put the blame
where it belongs, nt the door of the col
lege boy. College boys presume upon
the amount of their fathers’ money.
They claim a freedom that no gentle
man should want. They back a lady
about without fear or fever. I have
found in my 20 years’experience as a
dancing master that the college boy is
the one I need to watch in my classes.
“He does not realize that the rule of
dancing is always to take care of the
lady. He violates this by backing her
about as though he were moving fur
njfore. Go to any college dance to con
firm this. Bo long ss the college boy’s
"rule on the dance floor continues the
waltz will be in abeyance. The two
step in slower time will be its succes
sor.”
Oscar Duryea said: “The two step is
the leader. The secret of its success is
that it is easy of accomplishment. It
requires no art to acquire it It can be
easily learned in one lesson, while it
takes a season or two to thoroughly.,
master the waltz. There is more inspi
ration in the music of the quickstep,
because it is quicker, and the American
must hurry, even in his amusement. A
waltz is not such unless it is danced
to slow, dreamy music. You cannot
hasten the tempo of a waltz without
spoiling it The reason for the present
decadence of the waltz I take to be two
fold. Its rival, the two step, is more
easily learned and can be danced with
greater rapidity, thus appealing to the
American love of rush. ”
Professor T. George Dodworth said:
“The disfavor shown the waltz is due
to the romping introduced into it of late
years. The two step brought out much
boisterousness that was carried into
other danoes, the waltz among others.
The very young set is chiefly responsible
for this. There have been those who
have always waltzed and danced the
step in a sedate manner. A great inter
est is being shown in the old fashioned,
stately dances, as the menuet de la cour,
the gavot and the pavane. These were
the dances in vogue in the time of the
Louis and require much training in
grace of arm and body. It is usually
more difficult for men than women to
accomplish this grace. Classes have
been organized especially for the benefit
to be derived from practicing these state
ly court danoes. The interest in these
old dances has been more marked in New
York. I have been surprised to learn
how little interest has been taken in
them in other cities. New York is lead
ing in taste for these dances. ”
Tennyson's Beligion. '
It was fortunate, says Mr. Mabie in
The Atlantic, that Tennyson’s biography
was not prepared by a biographer who
was anxious to minimize the religious
dement in his life. On the contrary, it
is thrown into the boldest relief, and
the reader is let into those profound
convictions which gave the laureate’s
poetry s .ch depth and spiritual splen
dor. The whole subject is dealt with,
in connection with “In Memorjam,”
with the most satisfying fullness. “In
this vale of time the hills of time often
shut out the nfountains of eternity,”
Tennyson once said. The nobility of his
verse had its springs in those moun
tains, and they inclosed and glorified
the landscape of life as he looked over
it He refused to formulate his faith,
but he has given it an expression which
is at once definite and poetic, illumin
ating and enduring. “I hardly dare
name his name,” he writes, “but take
away belief in the self conscious person
ality of God, and you take sway the
backbone of the world. ” And again,
“On God and godlike men we build our
trust” A week before his death, his son
tells us, he talked long of the personality
and love of God—“that God whose eyes
consider the poor, ” “ Whooatereth even
few the sparrow.” “For myself,” he
said on another occasion, “the world is
the shadow of God. ” In his case, as in
Wordsworth’s and Browning’s, poetry
issued out of the deepest springs of, be
ing, and he made it great by commit
ting to it the expression of the highest
truth.
To a young man going to a university
he said, “The love of God is the true
basis of duty, truth, reverence, loyalty,
love, virtue and work,” and he added
characteristically, “but don’t be a prig.”
Through his verse, as through his life,
there ran this deep Current of faith, but
the expression of it was free from the
taint and distortion of dogmatic or ec
clesiastical phrase.

SUICIDE AND THE SEXES.
Xt Is Mon Frequent With Mm wad IS
Dootlnod tn Imnsm With Wann
At the present day man is much more
prone to suicide than woman. This is true
of man in regard to epilepsy, crime and
other marked signs of degeneration. Bui
it has been observed that as woman ap
proaches man in her mode of life she also
becomes more familiar with those abnor
mal conditions which have previously
been peculiar to man. The comparative
Immunity of woman from self destruction
tn the part has depended greatly upon the
relatively leas harassing part she has taken
In the struggle for Ufa. Today It is differ
ent. Now woman occupies the fields of
art, literature, finance and even politics,
and, as she goes deeper Into these voca
tions, she must expect to suffer the oonae
qdenoes. Already it la noticeable that
feminine suicide la Dot now entirely due
to the sentimental causes ot disappointed
love, desertion and jealousy, but to those
trials of a more material order such as
have led men to the aot of self destruction.
Imitation far exceeds any other of what
are called trivial causes of suicide and
asserts itself more in woman than in man.
It is much nacre common than is supposed.
When self destruction becomes epidemic,
as it sometimes doos, its prevalence very
largely depends upon imitation. It is said
that many years ago the wall of Thomas
Hood over “the one more unfortunate”
brought many a sentimental person to a
watery grave in the Thames, and in our
oWn day the vivid representation of sui
cide upon the stage under conditions ap
pealing forcibly to the imagination haa
been known to be followed by the self im
posed death of persons whose conditions
resembled closely those of the suicide in
ths drama.
Attempts have been made to prove that
climate baa an effect upon the rate of sui
cide, but these attempts have never done
more than show that the temperate regions
have the highest ratio. This, of course, is
net due to the climate, but to the more
complicated civilization, the greater physi
cal and mental wear and the more exten
sive interference with natural laws met
with in the temperate regions. While it
is true that climate exerts but little Influ
ence over the rate of suicide, the seasons,
on the contrary, do strongly affect it. The
popular belief is that suicide la more fre
quent during the months of winter and
spring. This, however, la incorrect. Cold,
wet, damp weather does not, as so many
people suppose, promote despondency and
suicide. Strange as it may seem, at that
period of the year when the sufferings of
the poor and the sick are least, when em
- “ pteyment is most readily obtained, when
the pleasure of living should be at its
highest, suicide is most frequent. May,
June and July, the months of song and
sunshine in all countries, give the greatest
number of self murders. For this there is
no satisfactory explanation, unless we ac
cept that of the medical fraternity, which
is that during the period of early summer
the organism is working at a higher ten
sfon, every function of mind and body is
more active than at any other period of
the year, and consequently there is greater
liability to sudden physical and mental
collapse.—Popular Science Monthly.
Warning Mot to Overoxereiao.
In a lecture on “Pedagogical Aspeota of
Physiological Psychology,” delivered at
the University Extension school, Philadel
phia, Professor Halleck aaid:
“In the case of tbevaat majority the
) brain attains its maximum weight by the
i age of 18. Examination of sections ot the
i spinal cord have shown that between the
time of birth and the age of 15 there has
been 100 per cent increase in the number
of developed nerve cells, while an increase
of only 4.6 per cent has been shown
1 after 15. The brain also shows, with ad
i vanning age, a decline in actual weight
i and in the number of connective fibers,
which afford the physical substrate for
) thinking and for association. Roughly
( speaking, nerve cells are plastic in inverse
. proportion to their ages. These facts point
to the conclusion that few people save
geniuses ever get an absolutely new idea
* into their heads after the age of 88. They
' generally build upper stories on founda
i tions already acquired.
i ‘‘Nerve cells have been shown to de
crease In volume 50 per cent as a result of
fatiguing exercise. In the case of deer in
ah' English park, hunted with dogs for
sport, but not killed, the deer frequently
never reoovered from the effects at fa
tigue. The Serve cells of those collegians
who fall overexhausted after a boat race
> may never again recover their full vigor,
i Exercise of every sensory and motor brain
i tract 1s very beneficial when not canted
beyond the proper point, for this exercise
puts the nerve cell in the best possible con
dition for assimilating more nutriment
1 and developing more fully. Inaction in
* any tract tends to an undeveloped spot and
; to atrophy.” - '
l How the Queen Stopped Grog.
1 There is an amusing story told in oon-
* nection with one of the- queen’s cruises
, along the Cornish coast while Lord
Adolphus Fits Clarence was still in oom-
2 roand of the royal yacht. One day her
majesty and several ladies of the royal
■ party seated themselves on deck in a shel
tered place protected by the vemel’s paddle
I box. Some time later the men were seen
. to gather in little knots and talk together
, In whispers. Presently an officer approach
. ed theqneen, but his courage forsook him,
and be retired A little later another offi
‘ oer also and then walked away.
’ The queen was amused and mystified, and
* when Lord Adolphus Fits Clarence came
r on deck she inquired if anything was the
1 matter, adding, with a emile, that she
r hoped there was not going to be a mutiny.
, Lord Adolphus laughed and replied that
he did not know what might happen un
less her majesty would be graciously pleas
’ ed to mors her seat, aoampstooL
1 “Move my seat?” mplied the queen.
1 “Why should I? What possible harm can
r X be doing here?” “Well, ma’am,” re-
* plied the captain, "the fact is yourmaj
. esty is unwittingly closing up the door
t where the grog tubs are kept, and so the
men cannot have their grog. ” “Ob, very
p weR,” responded the queen, much amus
ed, “I will move on one oondition-—that
9 you bring me a glass of grog.” This was
> accordingly done, and after tasting it her
1 majesty remarked, “I am afraid loan only
’ make the same remark I did once before—
, that I think it would be very good if it
k were stronger!” It is almost unneoessary
5 to add that “The queen, God bless her!"
. was drunk with enthusiasm that day.—
