A MODEL WIFE. She Dons Black In Memory of Her Vo- 1 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 tion of her bereavement. It is, indeed, . a grievous thing when a honeymoon it ( out short ' 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 married he comes to me an he says, ’Maggie, ’ he says, ‘thepoor woman nlv er had anybody to put on mourpin fer her, an I dunno that she’s bean treated right, ’he says. ‘Who?’saysL 'Me first wife,’ says he. ‘She was all alone in the world, exceptin fer me,’ he says. - ‘She had no wimmen folks to wear mournjn fer her. ’ And so I says to him, ‘l’ll do it fer the poor woman,’ I saya An here I am. ” And the best of it is that the story is absolutely true.—Chicago Post DREW PAY, BUT DID NO WORK And When Discharged Wanted a Certifi cate For Ability and Honeety. “Fancy a fellow picking your pocket and asking for a ‘character,* ” saida business man the other day. “That’s been my experience. I hired a young: man about a month ago to solicit orders for me on commission, with (20 a week guarantee. As he turned nothing in after a fortnight I began to suspect that he was working for another firm and doing nothing to earn the (20, so I told him that if no order materialized by the end of the week he must not expect to continue in my employ. “I made inquiries which convinced me that he was-doing what I suspected, but I got no legal proof that be was tak ing my money on false pretenses.

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.

' 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.

Harry—H’ml—Boston Transcript. 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.— Sketch. _ Poli»h For the Furniture. / A little turpentine and oil applied to furniture with a flannel cloth, the fmml , tore then tharoughly rubbed, will rite W a bright, dean appearance.
