“This talk a ‘jout careless and incom~

“amuses me, because the" fellows who
do the talking assume that there were
no careless doctors in the old Union
army. But with the good ones we had
W'hile in winter quar-
ters in ’62 our surgeon, old Major 8.,
was made brigade surgeon. and the I
first assistant had charge of the hos-
pital, which was a wall tent and
about as cold as a modern refrigerator.
The young sawbones pinned his faith
to two remedies, castor oil and qui-
nine. One morning at sick call one of
the boys showed up with a roaring
toothache. The doctor prescribed cas-
tor oil. '
“Naturally the fellow ‘kicked’ and 3
said that he did not think caster 011 ‘3
reached this complaint. The doctor re‘
plied that decayed teeth were caused
by a disordered stomaohyand if the
stomach was all right the teeth would
be all right, and if he did not take the
oil he would not be excused from duty.
The fellow with the toothache took the
oil, which was dug out of a jar with
a spatula by the hospital steward, as
it was frozen. to the consistency of
good ice- cream, and went on his way
swearing. ., Whether his toothache was
cured history sayet‘1 not.”—Ghicago

Handsome Silks
Dressmakers still contlnue to recom-
mend the very handsome peau de sole
silks to those who do not admire the
solid, rather garish lustre of satin.
Peau de sale has rich, half-lights on its
surface, and the silk is twilled, making
it more durable than satin or many
kinds of silk. These beautiful fabrics
appear this season in many lovely tints,
in one color, in new chameleon effects,
in small flowered designs, and also in
very pretty devices appropriate for ‘ac.
cessories and fancy waists.
“Where on earth could she have
picked up so insignificant a man for
a husbad?”
“I haven’t any exact information,
but he looks as if he might have gone
with a pound of tee.”-—~Gincl-nnati In-

‘ ' ' Royal Cooks
The Queen’ 5 daughters, in addition‘ to
being excellent needlewom'en; are also
good cooks. When they were children
they had a little kitcnen of their own
at Osborne, where they concocted all
kinds of dishes, sweets being naturally
the favorites. Here they converted in-
to jam the'fruit out of their own gar-
dens, and turned out many a. savory
ers, all of Whom had as excellent ap-
petites as generally appertain to boys.
At least one of the princesses still con-
tinues to cook an occasional little dish,
and has been heard to say that she
would have made an excellent chef.
Home Dressmaking Hints.
When putting on bone casings make ‘
a loop at the top of each by turning
over an inch of binding Run the cas-
ing on rather full, or it will soon be in
holes. '
Always iron coat collars and cuffs
that are to have several rows of stitch-
ing round the edge before putting them’
in the machine, and again after the
stitching is done.
Put skirts into the bands, and see
that they are the same length all round
before finishing off the bottom hem. A
skirt that “sags" at the back is not
beautiful to look upon.
Booked Down the Been.
Chief among the novelties from over
the sea brought out by high-class mo-
distes in this country is the bodice or
princesse polonaise which hooks, but-
tons, or laces down the center of the
back. This style is certainly advan-
tageous to a graceful figure. Yet there
is one great difiiculty to overcome. How
is the woman who has no maid or a
convenient friend handy to fasten her
gown? Fashion rarely troubles herself
about such details, so her devotees have
to solve some of her sartorial problems
as best they can. In fastening these
waists and princesse dresses, the most
charming and costly buttons will be
utilized by the modiste. Graduated
trimmings and V-shaped insertions on
each side of the row of buttons are em-
ployed, which serve to break the
breadth of the shoulders.

Stylish Sleeves.
Many of the small mutton-leg and
Chatelaine sleeves on French and Eng:
lish gowns, both for day and evening
wear, are tucked in inch-wide tucks at
the tOp of the sleeve or its diminutive
puff. These tucks run around, not up
and down, the puff, and are from three
to five in number. They are made be-
fore the sleeves are shaped, or even
lined, if anything except the thinnest
lining-silk is used. '

A Great Chance.
There is a great chancefor old maids
in the Argentine Republic. There are
abOut sixteen men to one woman there,
and the unmarried males are more than
anxious to secure wives. When a “new
woman, ” as the welcome arrival is call-
ed, comes to town about fifty men make
a. wild effort to secure her. It is quite
an interesting contest, and the one who
captures the prize is looked upon as
something of a hero. The local papers
write columns abOut it, and almost
everybody in the city turns out to the
wedding. "It doesn’t matter much about
the woman’s age or looks, she is receiv-
ed with open arms and married OH in a
will have about fifty good-looking suit-
ors to’pick from, so she need not be
anxious about not finding the kind of
man she wants. The love—making
doesn’t last long, however. Three days
is the usual limit.
A Storfof Queen‘Vilhelmina.
The National Magazine tells this
story of Queen \Vilhelmina: “Two of
the court children were 111issi11-g one
day, and' grave fears w re entertained
as to the probability of‘thcir having
been kidnapped. A prolonged and
careful search resulted in finding no
traces of them, and two attendants
were arrested as suspicious charac
ters. On further inquiry it was learn-
ed that these two children were last
seen playing with the little Queen the
previous day. On questioning her as
to their whereabouts she said they
were lockedvup in an old cellar that
could be reached from the courtyard.
It seemed they refused to do her bid
ding, and so. exercising her preroga-
tive as chief executive of the king-
dom, she had imprisoned them for re«
bellion."
A Gold Country.
The coldest inhabited country ap-
pears to be the province of Wercho-
jansk, in Oriental Siberia. A Russian
savant passed one entire year in this
inhospitable region, and kept a. daily
record of the temperature, from which
it appears that the daily mean of the
entire year is 2.74 degrees below
zero!
