Paper Cartridges Used in the Civil “'m'.
A New London man made an inter—
esting discovery the other day. While
rummaging in the garret of his house
he picked up an old army knapsack
carried by his brother in the federal
army in the dark days of ’61 to ’65.
He opened the knapsack and found
within quite a number of war time cart-
ridges, which, as all veterans know,
are quite different from those now in
use. They are paper cartridges, the
end of which had to be bitten off by
the man in the ranks before loading
his musket. A Day reporter showed
the cartridges to several army vet—
erans,o and their eyes blazed at the
Sight. They acted like they had just
been introduced to an old friend whom
they had not seen for many years.
One of the ex-soldiers said the com-
mands for loading in the days of the
war were as follows:
“Handle cartridge, tear cartridge,
charge cartridge, draw rammer, ram
cartridge, return rammer, prime,
ready, aim, fire.” At present the order
is: “Load, ready, aim, fire.” The paper
shell is a thing of the long ago and the
'brass shell has taken its place, but it
makes and old vet feel young again
to get his hands on one of those old-
timers, though as a rule the teeth of
the G. A. R. man would hardly stand
biting the paper end off these late days.

Influence of Telegraphy.
"There are more free thinkers in re-
ligious matters among telcgraphers as
a class than any other trade or calling
that I know of,” observed a prominent
electrician to a Washington ‘Star re-
porter, “and many of them grow to be
the most pronounced in their views,
without being able to explain it. There
is nothing about the telegraph business
that is irreligious in any way. Of
course, 'telegraphers have to Work on
Sunday, but so do printers, drug clerks,
railroad men and hosts of others, who,
as a rule, stick close to their early
religious training. There seems to be
something in the telegmph business
that cuts men lose, as it were. It may
be from he fact that Morse, the invent-
or of the telegraph, was decidedly in-
dependent in his religious views, and
that his followers absorb his ideas
without being conscious of, it. But the
fact that there are more free 'thnkers
among telegraphers than in any other
calling, in proportion to their numbers,
is indisputable. This is no new or sud—
den discovery. It has always been so,
and though there have been a number
of explanations given none of them
have thoroughly explained as yet.”

Hot \Vater Replaces Tea.
Fashionable women have this season
discovered how to obviate the neces-
sity of taking too much tea and yet to
preserve the aspect of sociability as
they make the rounds of the five-
o’clock affairs. This is by taking
plain hot water, flavored with a little
of the lemon or cordial that is an in-
variable accompaniment to the fash-
ionable tea. service. There has been

a decided tendency to vary the usual
wafers by some sort of fresh warm
bread. At some houses delightful

iature tea biscuits, too, hot, and to be,

seen. Small fresh round sponge-_
cakes, often the work of the hostess
herself, are offered at some studio-af- ’
ternoons, and there is a universal sup-
pression of sandwiches. These are no
longer deemed necessary Or even de ,
eirable. '
Princesse Party Frock.
A quaint and pretty frock for a lit-
tle girl is the gown fashioned after
the princesse model. Anartistic lit-
tle dress seen recently at a children’s
party was carried out in old rose
cashmere, with yoke of white mull.
The short body was made perfectly
plain, except for a narrow beading
around the yoke; from this depend-
ed the gathered skirt. Which was fin-
ished at the bottom with a pinked
ruffle of the material. The epaulettes
were of the material, while the sash
was of old rose silk, tying in a bow
at the back. A houSe or school frock
after this pattern would make up
very pl‘ettily in blue serge, with guimp
of red silk. .

A chic theater corsage for a. dainty
