A Bnele Call From Heaven.
Hark! On tbc air a bujrle call Is sounding;
Seel On the clouds the Lord of Hosts ad
vancing; -
Tis the reveille of Heaven the blue arch Is re
sounding v
With the rumbling of chariots and their
horses gaily prancing;
'Tis the roll-call of the Nations Christ, the
Judge, is on his throne;
What a moment, awful moment, even to the
Savior's own!
Ciiouus:
Wanderer, pilgrim, friend or foeman.
What shall this great morning bring you
What, my child, or man, or woman.
Shall this awful morning bring you?
See! E'en now the day is breaking o'er a world
in darkness lying
For the Lord of Light is coming, as the
bugler sounds the "Forward;"
And his legions leaping onward, error right and
left are slaying.
As the '"Corps de Armee" rally lrom the
southward and the nor' ward;
Oh! the wailing of tha dying, and the hiding in
the irountain
Of the fooli9h, unrepentant, who reject the of
fered fountain!
I One On the General.
Old regular army officers will remem
ber Gen. Magruder as a handsome, gal
lant fellow, with a tendency to assume
airs of superiority.
An officer who served on Magrudcr's
staff near Yorktown in 1S62 delights to
tell the following1 story on his old com
mander: We had our headquarters at the
house of h wealthy widow of strong
Southern sympathies that induced her
to do anything in her power for the
boys in gray. One day a gaunt private
soldier, with red hair and straw-colored
whiskers, and the dust of a week's
march on his face aud clothes, stopped
at the house nd said to the lady:
"Madam, I'm most nigh played out
with hunger, can I get a bite of dinner
here?"
"Certainly," was the replj', "but as
I am preparing dinner for Gen. Magru
der and his staff, and have not room at
my table for even one more, you will
have to wait for the second table."
"Thank you, ma'am," said the sol
dier, as he smacked his lips in anticipa
tion of a hearty meal; "'tain't the
number of the table I care so much for
as the amount of grub."
The lady went away, and the soldier
took a position near the dining room
door, where he could watch the move
ments of the servants and regale his
expanding nostrils on the odor of
dishes carried past
At length the bell rang, and unable
to resist the temptation, or it may have
been obedience to the profound modesty
that is ever so characteristic of the old
soldier, the man made a break for the
commissary and took a seat near the
head of the table.
The way the private soldier ate sur
prised even old campaigners. He went
at it and kept at it, not as if it were a
pleasure, but the most serious busi
ness of his life.
When the last course came, and
while the unexpected guest was quietly
.letting out his belt two mors holes, the
General turned to him with a scowl
and asked:
"Sir, have you any idea with whom
you are dining?"
Without looking up or ceasing in the
work of adjusting his belt to meet the
demands of the dessert, the soldier
drawled out:
"Wa'al, no. I uster be mighty par
ticular on that score, but sencc this
doggon wah began 1 don't keer a cuss
who I eat with pervidin the victuals
is clean and there's enough to go
lound."
Magruder had good sense to join in
the laughter that greeted this sally.
A Comrade Mustered Oat.
At Toronto, Canada, March 2 1, J. W.
Charles, Company H, Ninety-sixth New
York, passed away. He was enrolled
under the name of J. C. Perry, and was
a charter member of James S. Knowl
ton Post, 532, Department of New
York. It is so seldom a Grand Army
funeral is witnessed outside of the
borders of the Uuited States that we
give a full account of the funeral serv
ices as sent by the adjutant of the
post: "A general order was issued and
inserted in the press, calling the post
to assemble atcheadquarters on that
date; comrades to be dressed in black,
with white gloves, and badges draped
in mourning. About forty .members
answered the roll-call and drove in
carriages to their comrade's late resid
ence, 116 Robert street, where the
corpse lay in a beautiful casket, en
wrapped in the silk flag of the post,
surmounted by a beautiful G. A. R.
wreath, the gift of the Post, and also
a large 'number of other floral trib
utes. A large number of citizens, who
had gained information of, the G. A.
R. burial through the general order in
the press, vere at the residence, and
all along the route to the cemetery,
scanned with eager curiosity the fu
neral cortege which bore the stars and
stripes. Many followed the cortege to
the burial place, Avhere the G. A. R.
funeral services were ably performed
by Capt. J. II. Stone, acting Chaplain.
'Taps' were sounded by the Bugler of
the Post, and the assemblage dis
persed. The press and public were
loud in their praise of the highly-respectable
appearance and conduct of
the (comrades of our Post Com
mander Johnson had command of the
Post in person."

There are heroes of the late war, lass
well-kuown than Gramt, Sherman and
.Sheridan, whose names are yet worthy
a place In every loyal heart. One of
them, Quartermaster-General Mont
gomery C. Meigs, died not long ago.
Of him it eould be said that from the
beginning of his career as a cadet at
MVesl Point, until his 'simple military
funeral, harbad never been renri-
111 BlTtr hill -an ttp
questioned by his superiors.
Through his hands during the war
passed an immense amount of govern
ment funds, bnt every cent was ac
counted for, and he left to his children
the priceless legacy of a spotless name.
A correspondent of The Companion
found among her father's papers, over
which she and her brother were look
ing, a letter that was absolutely unde
cipherable. Indeed it was a question
as to what language it was written in.
After long and fruitless study, they
passed it on to various friends, but the
case was hopeless.
Some weeks after in Washington,
they were talking with Gen. E. D.
Tosvnsend, a classmate and dear friend
of their father's, and the question of
handwriting happentd to come up."
The General pronounced Spinner's fa
mous chirography "plain as print" be
side that of. Gen. Meigs, especially
"when he was in a hurry then he
himself found it impossible to read it
overnight."
"My brother and I looked at each
other," says our correspondent, "and I
ran up to my room and brought down
our mysterious letter. It was indeed
the hand of my father's old friend
Meigs. Gen. Townsend studied it
thoughtfully, right side up, wrong side
up; then he said: 'My dear Meigs was
in one of his worst hurrys when he
wrote this!' The letter is among our
treasures, bnt what it says -man will
never know."
During the war, a paper from Gen.
Miegs passed through the hands of
Gen. Sherman, and is to-day pre
served with this endorsement upon it
in Gen. Sherman's well-known
hand:
"I heartily concur in the recommen
dation of quartermaster-general, but I
don't know what he says."

The Island of the St Thomas, in the
West Indies, has near its shores the
amp ltocu, wnicu appears, wuen seen
from a short distance, almost precisely
like a full-rigged ship under canvas. If
the sky is clouded and the atmosphere
hazy, the illusion is remarkable.
M. M. Ballou repeats in "Equatorial
America" the story of a mortifying
mistake made by a French corvette
while cruising in these latitudes. It
was at a time when the buccaneers
were making great havoc with legiti
mate commerce in the West Indies.
It seems that the coast was partially
hidden by a fog when the corvette
made out this rock, and, supposing it
to be a ship under sail, fired a gun to
leeward to bid her. heave to. Of course
there was no response to the shot, and
the Frenchman brought his ship closer,
and cleared the decks for action.
Satisfied that he had to do with a
powerful adversary, he discharged the
whole of his star-board armament into
the supposed ship looming through the
mist The corvette went about and
prepared to deliver, her port guns in,a
similar manner. "
Then the fog slowly dispersed, and
the rock smiled grimly on its assail
ants. Uen. William Wells' Sadden Death.
Gen. William Wells, one of Ver
mont's most prominent citizens,
dropped dead in New York city re
cently. Gen. Wells was born in Waterbury,
Vt, Dec. 14, 1637. He enlisted as a
private in the First Vermont calvary,
Sept 9, lo61; was promoted First
Lieutenant, Oct 14, Captain, Nov. 19,
1861, and Major, Dec. 30, 1862. He was
made Colonel of the regiment in July,
1864, and Brigadier-General, May 19,
18o5, and was brevetted Major-General
for gallant -nd meritorious services.
He was in the Vermont Legislature,
1865-66; served as Adjutant-General
and Inspector-General of the State
from 186i; to 1S72; then as Collector of
Internal Revenue until 1885, and as
State Senator from 188G to 1887. He

Secretary Tracy's Patriotism.
Secretary Tracy has ordered that
only American citizens, or those who
have taken the first steps to become
citizens, shall be employed in the Navv
yards. This is right When the time
comes that we have more work than
our own people can do, then will be
time enough to throw open the gates of
public work to aliens. Besides much
of the work in the Navy yards now is
of such a character that it should be
kept from the knowledge of foreign
naval people. It would be a great mis
take to give foreign workingmen free
admission to our Navy yards, and allow
them to carry back to their homes

us. National Tribune.

I saw a statement in print recently
that CoL DePnyster of New York was

A New Swindling Schema.
A gang of sharpers are having suc
cess in'a swindling game in the interior
towns of West Virginia. A well-dressed
man puts in an appearance at a country
store, and informs the proprietor that
he is searching for rare coins, giving a
list of specimens and their alleged
value. He asks the storekeeper to keep
a sharp lookout, and in case he gets
any of the coins mentioned in the al
leged list, to keep them until he re
turns, which he says will be in a short
time. Soon another stranger casually
drops in and buys some little article,
and, in making change, exhibits sev
eral coins which, he says, are pocket
pieces. The proprietor consults his
list and finds the value of the alleged
pocket piece put down at $40 or $50
each. Anxious to make' a good thing,
the storekeeper usually pays a good big
price for,the pieces. JIe,then waits for
the man who made the teasptiag osTers,
but he never turns up. -" .

FUNNY DECOYS.
Pup Seals aad .Other Counterfeits
Made
' Oat or Wood, la Alaska.
Shut up in a drawer at the National
museum, where nobody has the privi
lege of seeing them, is a curious col
lection of decoys. Perhaps the funni
est among them is a pup seal, about a
foot and a hajf long, quite artistically
carved out of wood. Its little paws
are folded across its chest, and it is in
tended to float on its back upon the
water. Just as the animal it repre
sents does in real life. However, it is
not meant as a decoy for mother seals,
as may be imagined, but as a float for
tying a fishing line to. Fishes recog
nizing the innocence of pup seals in
general, are not likely to suspect that
one would dangle a hook and line to
catch them. This is an Alaskan decoy,
of course. The natives of that region
employ decoy ducks made of wood in
a similar fashion not to attract real
ducks within reach of arrows or bul
lets, but as floats merely. To the
floats, set a-swimming in the rivers,
lines are attached, with hook and bait
for salmon. No' ordinarily wise sal
mon would be afraid of a duck. So
these fishes bite eagerly at the lures
suspended from the counterfeit birds
in the water and are caught Another
very queer decoy in the drawer is a
fish, cut out of wood and painted
white. No label states, unfortunately,
precisely how it is employed, although
it is certain that it is a counterfeit in
tended to attract some big fishes. Big
salmon could swallow prey of such a
size, and it may be designed as bait for
them. Think, however, of the disgust
which would be felt by any scaly ogre
at finding that he had taken in a
wooden fish one foot long!
A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
As Good as Glass, Yet Can Be Used for
Driving Belts.
An inventor in Vienna has produced
a new material that combines some of
the properties of glass and celluloid.
It is made by dissolving f".ir to eight
parts of collodion wool (.run cotton) in
about 100 parts by weigL; of ether or
alcohol, adding 2 or 3 per cent of cas
tor oil and 4 to 10 per cent of resin or
Canadian balsam. The mixture is
then dried on a glass plate at a tem
perature of 120 degrees, Fahr.
The compound soon solidifies into a
transparent sheet having substantial
ly the properties of glass. It resists
the action of salts, alkalies and dilute
acids, and is flexible, says the Phila
delphia Record.
The addition of magnesium chloride
reduces its inflammability and zinc
white gives it the appearance of ivory.
By increasing the relative proportions
of castor oil and resin the toughness
and pliability of leather is imparted to
the material, and it may even be made
into driving belts.
Do Married Folks Look Alike.
Whether you I'emember it just now
or not, at some time, I doubt not you
have read long articles or short items
on the curious theory advanced by
some psychologists .that married
couples finally come to resemble each
other. Some argue that it is because
they are exposed to the same condi
tions in life; others go further and say
that the influences of minds react up
on each other, which, in the case of
man and wife, brings about a facial
resemblance after years of close con
tact The Photographic Society of
Geneva, Switzerland, with a view to
determining the truth oi falsity of this
psychological oddity, made, during
1891, photographs of neventy-eight
couples. These were examined by ex
perts in physiognomy, who decided
that in twenty-four of the seventy
eight cases the facial resemblance of
husband and wife was greater than
that of brother and sister; in thirty
cases it was equally as great, and in
only twenty-four cases was there a
total absence of resemblance.
The Mace.
Like the British house of commons,
the lower house of the United States
congress at Washington possesses a
symbol of its authority in the form of
a mace. It looks like the fasces which,
were borne Ly the lictors before the
Roman tribunes and counsels, and con
sists of a bundle of thirteen ebony rods
entwined and bound together with
silver bands. The thirteen ebony
sticks represent the thirteen original
states of the union. They are sur
mounted by a globe of silver, upon
which the hemispheres are traced,
while a silver eagle with outstretched
wings is perched upon the summit of
the globe. It was made in 1834,weigfas

For what might come between
No likelier youth than he. I trow.
Was e'er in greenwood seen.
No grace than hers is more divine.
No heart more fond and true:
She lets the lordly suitors pine
To pledge a Bonnet Blue.
She thinks upon her lofty state
And drops a pensive tear: '
She looks upon her lowly mate.
And she Is straight in cheer.
He holds her in his strong embrace.
Re plights his troth anew;
She dreads not danger nor disgrace.
Beside her Bonnet Blue
Next morn the bower maidens wait
In vain their mistress's call:
The servers stand with cup and plate,
The vassals throng the halt.
But where Is she, the proudest born.
The fairest Scotland knew?
She wedded ere the blush of morn
Her dear loved Bonnet Blue!

A Few Little Points.
As a people, we Americans have been
laughed at for eating too fast, and we
are credited with beinjr a nation of
'lyspeptics. Now, of course, this is
generalizing, but you, the eldest
daughter, have it in your power to
mak: the hour at the dinner or tea
table one of real delight It is an
easy 'matter, you will find, to start
some pleasant topic, to get your father
and brother interested in the talk of
the day, so that you all will eat your
food more slowly, and you will achieve
what the Frenchmen consider the great
art you will dine, not merely feed
yourself. But there are a few little
questions about the etiquette of the
table that some girl wants to know,
and these I am going to tell her. She
must hold her knife by its haiu.le, and
never let her fingers reach up
to its blade. Whenever it is
possible, a fork must be used in
place of a spoon, and that same spoon,
by the by, must never be left :n a
coffee or tea cup, but laid to rest po
litely and securely in the saucer.
Glasses with handles are held by them.
A goblet should be caught-by the stem,
the fingers not entwining the bowl
part Don't butter a -large piece of
bread and take bites from it; instead,
break your bread in small pieces, one
at a time, and butter it that is, if you
are eating butter, and convey it to
your mouth by your fingers. Olives,
celery, radishes, strawberries with
stems, and asparagus arc all eaten
from the fingers. The old method of
eating cheese with a knife has been
given up, a fork being used in its
place. The use of many small dishes
for vegetables is not in good taste; in
deed, many vegetables should not be
served at one time.
Put Yonraeir la Her riace.
Not long ago a bright, pretty,
healthy girl said: "She is always sick,
and it tries everybody so." I looked
at her and thought, "I wonder if you
knew what yon were saying, if you
would ever repeat those words.' It
may be taken for granted that to have
somebody always sick in a household
is not pleasant; that it does cast -a
gloom over it and that it docs make
the younger members of the family
feel that there is a constraint put upon
them. But put yourself in the place
of the woman who is always sick.
Put yourself in the place of the woman
who never knows from one day to an
other whether she is gciug to be happy
in God Almighty's sunshine, or
weather she is going to be in a close,
dark room, with her heart beating as
if it were a cold sounding-bell that
told her how little of life she had, and
how soon it would go. Think of wak
ing up in the middle of the night with
yonr head burning and throbbing, and
your body perfectly cold, and having
to lie quite still with the knowledge
that there will be no help for you until
morning. Think of knowing that
everybody else is having a good and
merry time, but that you are entirely
out of it all, not because you are ill
that day, but because the doctor
thinks you are not quite well enough
to risk it Now this is wretched
enough when it comes to a woman who
has had most of the pleasures of life,
but suppose it comes to a girl of 19.
Don't you suppose that because of her
very illness her nerves are so much
more delicate that every pleasure that
she does not get seems greater thatTit
really is, while every sorrow that
comes to her is intensified.
Oar Little Qaeeraassa.
You have them and I have them. It
may be it is only a way of speaking, a
way. of looking, or some little manner
isms that offend. Of course, we do not
realize the effect produced by what we
call "our way." but that doesn't excuse
it Think out how you look when you
tell something disagreeable and which
is unnecessary and uncalled for. Think
out if you don't try the patience of
evea your most intimate friends with
a continued history of your ways and
weaknesses, and whether after awhile
it does not really take the form of nag
ging. Ah, my dear girl, even from
people we love, nagging is something
very difficult to bear. A great sin is
sooner forgotten than these con
tinual little annoyances; and
t is one of "your ways" that does not
excuse it It may not be "your way"
to speak the kind word, or the tender
word, or to do the considerate act
But do you think you are excised be
cause of the reason you. give? Don't
you think your ways and lilt'e qucer
nesses are just as wrong as the greater
sias of the people who have greater
temptations? Yours seem as nothing
to you, but when everything is put
dwpipbUc aad while, aad is to. he
decided by the great judge, the advan
tages that have been yours and those
that have been your neighbor's will be
thought of, and jou will be judged,
not according to what 'you might have
done; not according to the sins you did
not commit, but according to the ones
that you have committed and the vir
tues which you haye omitted.
RoelwUnU of the Golden Rose.
The Order of the Golden Rose, with
which the pope has decorated .Queen
Amelie of Portugal for her good deeds,
has been bestowed on one or more of
the female members of nearly all the
catholic reigning houses. Among those
now living who have been thus hon
ored by his holiness are ex-Queen Isa
bella of Spain, who received the rose
only a few weeks prior to the loss of
her throne; the present queen-regent
of Spain; the empress of Austria; the
queen mother of Bavaria; the ex-Empress
Eageaie of France; the empress of
Braafl'aathwqaeeae4aHaeay. Qaeea
Plaof Portugal and Princess Clotailde,
the wife of Prince Napoleon, would
doubtless both have received the rose
as a reward for their piety and devo
tion to the church had it not been for
the fact that they labored under the
disadvantage of being the daughters of
the late King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy, who was excommunicated.
Among the less well-known wearers
of the golden rose are the Princess
George of Saxony, wife of the heir-apparent
to the throne and a member of
the royal house of Braganza; the
Duchess Adelgonde of Modena; Arch
duchess Elizabeth of Austria and the
Princess Blanche of Nemours. Queen
Mercedes of Spain was also a possessor
of the rose.
The Virtu of PatUac.
You are well and strong, and you
don't think of the virtue of patience
that might show itself in consideration
for the one who is always sick. In the
first place do not find it necessary to
tell her every time you see her how
dreadfully she is looking, but if she
finds a certain pleasure 'in telling you
of her worries and woes, listen to them
with patience, while at the same time
you do your best to change the subject
to one which is proper, and which will
be really better for her. If you live in
the same house with an invalid, jarn
that every time you slam a door it
makes each nerve in her body
quiver. Every time you speak
loudly it causes her mental teeth to
be set on edge, and every time you
laugh in. your loud, startling way, you
make her sufferings as much greater
as if she had really undergone some
th'ng in the way of blows. Take some
of the sunshine of your life and give it
to the one who is always sick. Do not
allow yourself to believe that anybody
finds pleasure in it or that anybody is
in bed, or claiming to be in pain as I
have heard cruel or thoughtless people
say from mere laziness. Now, if in
your life in any "way there comes a
jchronic invalid, I want you, like the
good girl yon are, to practice on her
the virtue of patience, aud be sure
blessings will come to you.
Princes Alargaretheaaa Political Factor.
In the royal international game the
Princess Margarethe, as the Germans
spell it, is the winning card Emperor
William holds in his hand. Accordingly
as the other sovereigns reveal their
hand's this young lady, his sister, is to
be played. With the crown prince of
Roumania he can play her against Rus
sia, or with the Czarowitz if France has
the odds. There is the Grand Duke of
Hesse if he desires to vex his grand
mother, and if he would just as leava

All Female Operators.
At Uyderbad, India, a photographic
studio has been opened in which the
operators arc all women. The Koran
forbids the making of portraits, but
the muftis have declared that photo
graphy cannot be included in the pro
hibition, since the prophet knew noth
ing about it

Miss Mattie Walker it assessor of
Mackford, Green Lake County, Wis.
The town has many residents of large
wealth, which makes the choice of a
woman for this responsible office the
more remarkable.
The Average Woman.
" The average woman can now be ex
pressed in figures, so far at least as her
physical qualities are concerned. She
weighs one hundred and seventeen
pounds and is five feet three inches
high, if she is an American. If fhe is
French she is only five feet one inch
tall, and if she is English she is the
tallest of the three. These statistics
have been obtained by measurements
of over a thousand women in their
stockings by the French academy; of
over seven hundred women by Dr.
Francis Gal ton, in England; and of
nearly two thousand women by Dr.
Sargeant of Cambridge. American
women, it is snid, weigh slightly more
than either French or finlish women.
This is a sui-ment difficult of belief.
