tle to a raid at the hands of a marching army, it was over the boards of its often patched surface ine rebel general, John Morgan, pared in restless impatience while on his raid through the Hoosier stale It was there he made it prisoner of I? rank Crawford, the younpr operator, after making him send a mejteag'C deceiving and delaying the pursuing army.

When the dairing ra der left the little room he not only took all the telegraph ins. ruments along, but compelled the frightened operator loiaecompuny hira tor the purpose of tupping the wires alonjf the route to receive and send .dispatches while on his flying trip through the lloosier state.

Although in a great hurry to get away from (he station,

the

general did not leave the little room until after he had forced the alarmed agent

unlock the old-fashioned safe,

from which he took $1S0 to swell the expeuse account of his unwelcome visit.

Tbis was the first time that strange

Jl the old safe continued to serve as °°m6ho receiver of all the bonds deposited f«r"fft the station, for there was no bank W(f in the town those days, and the agent jm' had no better place fmoneys which passed 'hajfjtls. fj)« burglnry h'd ceased to be wOjcet of convtrs tion, an ipvt forgotten by all but the railroad k«ipnunVi who ha'l put amwnon night iitv .us a precautionary measure fcjainst future calls from such expensiv» midnight visitors.

county, may be seen at the station most any time with ar unfading re^tninitcence of a little adventure he had while on an invadiner visit to this remarkable room. Charles Cass was night operator, and Murphy concluded it would be capital fun to go to the station and whip the lone lightning manipulator. The operator good naturedly objected, and putting a poker into the heated stove determined to give his threatened assailant a hot reception. Miirohy forced open the office door, and, as he entered, Cass caught thie poker from the fire and plunged it at the face of his enemy.

The hot end grazed and seared the cheek and penetrated the ear of the ap-proaching-man. As its burning point was forced through the flesh it sizzled and smoked like fire-scorched steak. With a liowl of agony the injured man fled, but his ear and part of the flesh on the side of his fact^ and neck were burned a,way, leaving him maimed and disfigured for life. His brothers, upon seeinsr the frightful mark Cass had branded upon their kinsman, hastened to the depot and beat the perpetrator almost,to death.

A Sad Affair Orowlnff pnt Land Mrs. Hannah H. McNally has tramped nearly 200 miles from 8an Benito county, Cal., to San ifrancisM to save her quarter section of land, which is in dispute before the land commissioner. She was left a widow with several small children and went down last year into San Benito when the old Atlantic and Pacific railroad grant was declared open to settlement. She located her oldest daughter on one quarter while she homeste^ded another. She soon found that there was a prior claimant who had filed several months before her. Ho was a rich ntractor, and brought suit, but the jury of farmers decided in favor of tho woman who was trying, by growing whe-tt *i'ul raising chickens, to support her. fatherless children. Thea on appeal judgment was given against her, but the land oflfi warned her to appear in Krisco and submit hor case or else she would be ejected. 8hf had no money to pay railroad fare, so she walked, working when she failed to get meals- for

Horr'tlio Suhjectof Cleanliness In Forjr. of Sanitation la Dealt tVith bj tiic Woman Who Etaa Studied Chemistry—Science -Mil

When it first dawned upon a few pro gressive spirits that woman was wertii educating, some enemy of the scheme ...t upon ft ck'Vcr ruse for enlisting all n:nnkind against? it. He insinuated_ that i. woman learned the sciences she might foeget how to cr.ok, and the masculine ha:f OL humanity, face to face with the horrorr, or a dinnerless existence, cried out with one voice that woman must remain as she was.

It is unfortunate that in those darker ages, when this view prevailed, no one vras found with the prophetic instinct to declare that the whole hope of domestic science lay in the possibility of training intelligent women to take hold of it in an intelligent way. Had this been done, a comfort loving world, anxious to live more easily and fare

old lines she has been following for centuries, provided only that her work be placed on the level where -it belongs, and that she be permitted to do it under the same conditions that apply to other tasks of equal importance.

The rebellion of the modern woman against domestic duties is not a repudiation of the duties themselves, but a protest against the methods she is still expected to apply to them. Above all she objects to the illogical position of man, who lays great stress upon the necessity of a weil ordered home, but who withholds from the

brain

and hand that governs it the honor due to skilled labor in whatever field. Is it any wonder that a woman with high ideals of a useful life should prefer the study of medicine to the study of housewifery? In the former she spends three years in going over the condensed results of all human endeavor in her chosen specialty: in the other she painfully spends 20 years in formulating from her own experience the fundamental rules of. a science which can hardly be said to be in its infancy, be cause it is as yet unborn.

There is, however, an embryonic idea that such a science would be worth while, and it is a remarkable fact that the people who are fostering this notion with tbe greatest enthusiasm are the college bred women of America. That the idea has already taken several practical and very use ful forms is a sufficient guarantee of what it may accomplish in time.

The two great and permanent necessities of the home are sanitary perfection and wholesome food. That these two simple requirements involve nearly all the natural scienccs but astronomy i3 startling, but undeniable. To be siire, generations qf women have kept house acceptably without any knowledge of the wonders of the laboratory, but they did it in an age densely unconscious of bacteria and not yet awakened to uervousncss on the subject of sewer gas. The task of keeping the race alive and well, seems to grow and,, more

Take first the subject of household satn tation. All housekeepers worthy the name aspire to cleanliness without stopping to think that it is of three sorts—traditional, cesthetic and, sanitary. It may be remarked in passing that the last of these three is the only one that bears any intimate relation to godliness. Traditional cleanliness was the strong point of the old fashioned model housekeeper. She directed her energies to ceaseless scrubbings and scourings, but was the sworn enemy of air and sunshine. She rejoiced in such about inations as feather beds, cotton stuffed coverlids, allover carpets and similar homes for entcrprin..ig disease germs, and she cared little about the location of the well, provided it was handy for her persistent but misdirected cleansing operations. /Esthetic Qleanliuifep as still practiced in nine houses out of tfli, is even more heedless of the lawsTof health. It was in deference to its demands that plumbers invented wood cased water pipes, find furniture dealers tho folding bed and "washing cabinet." Al it demands is that whatever it fancies unsightly shall be covered up or put out of the way.

Now, sanitary cleanliness—it might al most be called real cleanliness, in distiuc tion from these other sorts—is a very dif ferent mattei. It rests on the two great sciences of physiology and bacteriology and it canuot be successfully secured without at least a rudimentary knowledge of the principles on which it is founded. The old fashioneu housekeeper hated dust because it looked untidy and provoked the adverse criticism of her sex her granddaughter hates it because it excites pulmonary diseases, or is likely to contain

stray

germs inimical tobealth. The practical difference lies in the fact that the scientific hotis: wife Will make war not only against the dust in sight but against tbe dust which she merely suspects ot existing

has seen through the microscope tho secrets of air and water, and her standard for the purity of her household surround ings is

raised

by her knowledge of the in

visible dangers to health and comfort. In the preperatlon of food there is even] more need for the order and exactness' which scientific methods alone can secure The favorite duh of the best of cooks vati widely in excellence, and underdone overdone food is so common that unless th mischief is excessive we hardly ever str to complain of it, "We have proved," say Mrs. Abel of the New England Kitch "that a kitche mAy approach a pbarmac in exactness.'

Keeping the Mouth "Well Formed. No one will deny either the scarcity or the charm of a beautiful mouth, but among all tfrtrsids of beauty one seldom finds any lore pertaining to the cultivation of this feature.

Many otherwise beautiful women have certain habits and tricks of curving and pursing the lips that render them for the time more than plain. Children acquire habits early in life of twisting their mouths or of stretching them or stuffing them with various articles that leave their unpleasant traces in after life. Parerifs and guardians should strive to correct all grimacing and grinning propensities. The habit' of sucking the under lip is often contracted in babyhood and should be promptly broken.
