'I‘HE EvEml
AS IT WAS IN ’65. "
A March of 300 Miles Before the Luxury
0f Box Cars WasObtainable. f
There are thousands of old soldiers
left who remember how, after four
years of fighting and marching un-
precedented in the world’s history
they rejoiced when they had the priv-
ilege of coming home in and on box
cars. When Johnson surrendered and
was composed of men from the West,
.the war closed, Sherman’s army, which
and in which weie many Illinois regi-
ments, were southwest of Raleigh in
the interior of North Carolina. Were
there Pullman cars to transport them
home? No. Were there even passen-
ger cars of the most dilapidated sort?
\02 Not evbn these. But the box cars
were clean and nice, the sympathetic
ones will suggest. Maybe they were,
but they were not there to take the
men home. Their route lay nearly 300
miles north to Washington, and every
foot of that, through rain and alter-
nate blistering heat and chill, they
marched, footsore, though they were
from a winter campaign of not more
than 600 miles of march and battle. It
was a joy when they left, Washington
that they could get box cars to ride in
and on—for all could-not get in. With
this sort of transportation they rode
to the Ohio river; then crowded on
hurricane and boiler decks of freight-
boats they lay down at night with no
covering but the stars.
Arrived at Louisville, Ky., where the
veterans were mobilized, they put up
their frayed and worn dog tents under
the burning sun, when it shone; in the
drenching rain when it fell. There
was no extra accommodation for the.
sick, even though the war was over.
Indeed, the writer of this knows as a
fact that his regiment was without
even its regimental surgeons, those
officers havingbeen left behind with
the sick and wounded at Goldsboro and
Washington, and the men had to go to
the surgeon of an'Ohio regiment for
their “quinine.” When at last, after
weeks and weeks of waiting through
the hot month of June and into July,
the regiment was mustered out, the
men were again loaded on box cars
and transported up through Indiana
and across Illinois to the vicinity of
Springfield, where they went into
bivouac in the hazel “ruffs” and un-
derbrush some ten days, getting final
pay and discharge. And from this
point they went to their various
homes in the distant parts of the state
and some to other states, each paying
his own car fare and for what he ate
along the way.—Macomb (111.) Jour-
nal.
BRAVERY OF YANKEE TARS.
Their Behavior When In the Midst ofa
. Lively Engawemeut. .
A half-naked man, sticking his head
out of the forward eight-inch gun tur-
ret on the Brooklyn to get a breath of
fresh air, said to me, as a couple of big
shells whistled over our heads and
struck in the water beyond: “Funny
song they sing, sir,” and then disap-
peared.
In the two hot engagements in which
I have watched the fighters closely I
have never seen any-thing indicative of
fear. True, everybody has a curious
sensation as the first few shells of the
enemy whistle overhead, and when
one strikes, with its frightful explo-
sion you look around anxiously for an
instant. If the smoke Is cleared from
your ship, you will see a puff of smoke
from a battery ashore. Then, just as
you have forgotten the smoke, about
three seconds later, you hear a sound
like a swarm of bees humming ovei
your head. Pretty .soon the shells be-
gin to come faster and "faster. They
drop in the water on both sides of you.
One hits the military mast, and the
debris of steel and rope and wood
comes tumbling about you. You look
up wonderingly, but give it merely an
instant’s thought. Then your mind
reverts to the terrible roar of your own
guns, and then comes the single idea
of keeping outside the radius of fire,
not of the enemy’s guns, but those on
your own ship, equally dangerous to
your safety, the'preservation of your
ear drums, and your life. ’
I stood by Commodore Schley’s side,
with Flag Lieutenant Sears, during
the first two bombardments’of Santi-
ago, and we all found ourselves abso-
lutely forgetful of peril, watching the
shots from different turrets, and tell-
ing the gunners whether to depress or
raise the muzzle of the gun. We kept"
accurately the time of all movements,
of opening fire, of good shots, of si-
'lcn‘ce’d“ batteries, and of “cease firing.”
The halls whistled about you with a
nasty whine, as if they deplored not.
being able to hit you, and half the time
the roar of the fusilade of your own
ships drowns the complaint of the ene-
my’s missiles. You expeiicnce at first
a strange feeling of enjoyment, not un-
mixed with teiror. Then you grow
animated, and discover a peculiar son
of charm in the danger and in the
game of life or death. ~Leslies \Veek-

Rats as aHair Tonic.
A Chinese gentleman advocates the
use of the rat as an article of diet,
and makes the following remarks on
its properties as a hair res-torer: “What

can be explained,'but every horseman
knows that a regimen of carrots will
make his stud as smooth and lustrous

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Dame Fashion continues her onward
march, and althouatf the change from
last season’s styles came on so gradual-
ly as to be haidly noticeable, they have
now obtained a. strong foothold and the
close fitting skirt and skin tight
sleeves are in marked contrast to the
modes of former years, while' rumors
from over the sea declare that the
Popular blouse bodice which has so
long held a high and favored place in
the feminine wardrobe, has been super-
1’ 179de by long basque and jacket effects
which tend to show every outline and
curve of the figure and givmhe long-
waisted effect so becoming to many
figures. But in spite of this decree it
is safe to say that many models of the
round, blouse waist in guises innumer-
able and attractive will appear on
many of the toilettes, especially those
designed for evening wear.
While all the latest skirts fit closely
to the figure at the top, the lower por-
tion must have the proper flare, and
the best means by which to obtain this
effect is the circular fiounce, which
promises to continuein popular favor
in every shape and form throughflllt
the fall and winter. Other skirts are
perfectly straight and flaring
about the feet. Soft. finished taffetas
are employed exclusively when a. silk
lining is desired, as clinging effects are
now all the tags, the rustle of a stiff.
silk petticoat being a thing of the past.
Elaborate trimmings play an imDOI“
taut part on fall and early winter cos-
tumes, even the strictly tailor made be-
ing rarely seen without some form of
ornamentation.
Over-skirts are now seen on many
of the- newest models, and when made
up in soft materials with a combina-
tion of two contrasting colors, forms a
pretty dress. This style, hovvever, is
more suited to the tall, slender maiden
than to her short, plump sister and
should therefore be carefully avoided
by the latter;
At this season visiting and afternoon
receptions are the general order of the
day, and for these occasions many
handsome gowns have been turned out
by the fashionable couturieres for their
swell patrons, many of the recent im-
portations being beautiful creations of
the dressmaker’ s art.
A lovely awn of silver gray silk and
embroidered velvet is made with a
tight fitting corsage cut double-breast-
ed in front and princesse in back. Em-
broidered velvet is employed for this
garment, while the yoke, collar and up-
per part of sleeves are of embossed sat-
in. Jeweled buttons adorn the front.
The corsage is worn over a silk skirt,
cut with a flounce and lined throughout
with soft finished taffeta, and is trim-
med with a wide band of rich embrOid-
ery. _.A.charmlng. little hat of chenille
and black straw, adorned with feathers
and long drooping plumes gives the
finishing touch to the elegant costume.
Another handsome gown, built 'of
heliotrope silk, is elaborately trimmed
with velvet and lace. The circular
skirt mounted over a foundation skirt
of the same material, has a band ,of
cream insertidn about the foot, out-
lined with two narrow rufiles trimmed
with velvet- ribbon. The bodice made
perfectly tight-fitting, fastens in the
back, and in front is trimmed with
lace and ribbon to simulate a bolero,
while five bands of narrow ribbon en«
circle the waist. Folds of black velvet
drape the top of the corsage beneath
the pointed collar of rich guipure lace,
which latter textile also forms the top
of the close fitting sleeves down to the
elbow, the lower portion being of vela
vet, finished with a rufile of lace. ,‘A
dainty capote of black velvet, made
very full and adorned with rosettes of
heliotrope colored silk and a. curling
black rosette, accompanies this fetch-
ing toilette.
Very effective are the frocks of black
or white lace net mounted over bright
colored taffeta linings and‘trimmed
A smart gown of white lace
net, over an underskirt of turquoise
blue taffeta is elaborately trimmed
with insertions of fine lace. The waist
is made with a. shirred vest, outlined
with the insertion and is worn over a
guimpe of plain blue silk, while the
tight fitting sleeves are of the net
adorned with bands of insertion. Tur-
quoise blue tafieta forms the stool: col-
lar and girdle belt.
Fawn (olored broadcloth is the mate-
rial emplyyed for a stylish auturgp
frock designed recently. The skirt cut
with the popular circular flounce is
trimmed about five inches from the
bottom with a wide band of guipure
insertion. With this is donned a short
Eton, jacket, with large embroidered
velvet revers, which is worn over a
dainty vest of chiffon and lace. The
sleeves are slightly fulled at flip top.-
The Children’s Room.
In the pleas-ant library and living
room of a dear old home is a. nook de-
voted to the children. These are now
of the second generation, who come to
grandma’s house as to a. Mecca of de-
lights that never pail. A low book-
case slipped in a corner next to the big
oldsfashioned one holds the gayest and
dearest of children’s‘books, including
those classics “Alic'd‘in Wonderland"
and "Jungle Tales. " A child’s chair is
always in front of the collection in ex-
pectant welcome. The lower part of
the big mahogany caSe that comes next
has ample cupboards to hold fascinat-
ing toys and games to tempt when
books pail. A folded sheet is alsoin
thercupboard, and all the little cousins
. who troop in know just how to play at
g1 andmas The sheet is spread out,
and all litter of games kept upon it.

White Naln’sook Apron.
Every girl up to the age of eleven-6r
'tWelve should wear an apron or pina-
fore. They should be made as dressy
as possible and are a. very pretty and
becoming addition to the costume, be-
ing useful either to cover a. shabby
dress or protect a good one. Muslin,
lawn, fine linen or nainsook are suit-
able materials and fine embroidery er
iorchon iace the best washing trim-
ings. .
A pretty model of nainsook has the'
skirt cut in a straight piece, hemmed
2% inches at the edge, with five tiny
tucks above. The bodice is full, the
upper part set in a yoke shaped trim-
ming of muslin embroidery, the full-
ness of nainsook being gathered in the
centre back and front.
The sleeves _are of nainsook edged
with embroidery. The bodice is fast-
ened at the top and waist by worked
cotton loops and small linen buttons.
A Wide band of embroidery finishes the
waist. .
A \Voman’s Friendship.
It is a wondrous advantage to a man,
in every pursuit or vocation, to secure
an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is atonce a suitable
delicacy of tact' and a plain soundness
of judgment which are rarely combin'ed
to an equal degree in man.
A woman, if she is really your
friend, will have a sensitive regard for
your character, honor, and repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a
shabby thing, for a woman friend al-
fgyvays desires to be proud of you. At
the same time, her cpnstitutional timid-
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She therefore seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent thing.
A man’s best female friend is a wife
of good‘sense and good heart, whom he
loves and who loves him.
But supposing the man to be without
such a helpmate, female friendship
he must still have, or his intellect will
be without a garden, and there will be
many an unheeded gap in even the
strongest fence. Better and safer, of
course, such friendships where dispari-
ties of years or circumstances put the
ideas of love out of the question. Mid-
dle life has rarely this advantage;
- youth and old age have.
We may have' female friendships
with those much older and those much
younger than ourselve‘s.
Moliere’s old housekeeper was a great
help to his genius; and Montaigne’s
philosophy takes both a gentler and
loftier character of wisdom from the
date in which he finds in Marie de
Gourney, an adopted daughter—“cer-
tainly beloved by me,” he says, “with
more than paternal love, and involved
in my solicitude and retirement as one
of the best parts of my being.”
Female friendship is, indeed, to man
the bulwark, sweetener, and ornament
of his existence. To his mental cul-
ture it is invaluable; without it, all his
knowledge of books will never give him
knowledge of the world.
Doyley With Lace Border.
Dainty doyleys are at all times in
demand and novel and pretty designs
are always welcome to the artistic
n
needleworker.
A miniature of a dainty dessert doy-
ley is shown in the illustration and is
made of a very fine Indian grass lawn
bordered with point lace, which is of
worked - with
muslin braid, linen
threads, 2% yards of braid and 2 skeins
'of thread. This would make a. very
dainty addition to the table and will
undoubtedly prove popular after the
long rage embroidered doyleys have
had. '
