77 Secret of a Long and Happy
■ X Life..
You sometimes see a woman
whose old age is as exquisite as
Was the perfect bloom of her
yo..th, says the Pittsburg Dis- •
patch. You wonder how it is
her life has been a long and -j
happy one. Here are some of!
the reasons *
She knew how to forget the I
disagreeable things.
She kept her nerves well isi j
■ hand, au inflicted them on no!
:One.
She mistered the art of say
ing pleasant things.
She did not expect too much j
j from her friends.
She made v. hatever work
came to her congenial.
She retained her illusions and
did not believe the world wicked
or unkind.;
She relieved the miserable
and sympathized with the sor
rowful.
She never forgot that kind |
words and a smile cost nothing, !
buß" are priceless treasures to j
the discouraged.
She did unto others as she i
would be done by, and now that!
old age has come to her, and;
there is a halo of white hair
about her head, she is loved and !
considered. -This is the secret,
of-a long life, and a happy one.

For blind, bleeding, itching and

Future Commanders of Our
Army.
General Corbin thinks he is
! "betraying no confidence" in
announcing that General S, B.
i M; Vonug will siu ; General
Miles as Lieuteuint Genera 1 of J
the army when thp lai'ter retiresj
next August, General Cii.uice'
has been.."slated'Vi'or this: po-j
sition, but General Cfirbin isj
"the fountain head of military
and the:'general;
opinion is that this announce
ment has official inspiration,
and approval. General Young:
entered the army as a private'
in 1861, rose to the rank of |
brevet Brigadier General in
ISGS, and re-entered the regular
army in 18G8 as a secQnd lieu
tenant. Wlien the Spanish
War broke out he became a Ma-j
jor General af volunteers,fought j
the battle of Las Gausitnas, and
later went to ; the Philippines.
Last winter he was chosen io
be president of tlie new War :
Colieire at Washingtan. Gen
eral Young will hold the posi-;
tion only a few months, when
he will be retired ; the next in '
line is General Chatfee, whose
term of service will be short. i
General Chaflee will probably;
be succeeded by General Corbin
himself after whom comes Gen-|
eral Mac Arthur. None of these
Generals will have a long lease
of office, but General Leonard
W»od, who is next in rank to
General Mac Arthur, will have
several years of active service.

toothsome Sandwiches.
Nuts are especially good for
school luncheon sandwiches, be
cause they take the place of
meat,-, which grows tiresome
; :when eaten ill sandwiches id ay
after day, says the New York
Tribune. Of all nuts the most
palatable land' ;nourishing when
mixed with other food is the
English walnut They are ex
pensive but they can be bought
in quantity at the rate of seven
potindsifor .$l. They will keep
tor months, and if they scicm
dry \vli n n shelled can be boihd
a few minutes to soften them.
Chopped or pounded ftu-, Eng
lish walnutsare* good mixed
with chopped figs or :datcs,mak
ing a hnost 'appetizing and
healthful sandwich. The nuts
ran be mixed with chopped eggs
i:Jso, or with chopped meats.
For an olive sandwich cut the
meat oft' the stones, chop it fine,
rrrix'it' wiilr mayonnaise and
spread ou very thin slices of'
bread, from which the crust lia
been., removed.. . No bu ter
is necessary ' with mayonnaisa.
Bana=ia saudwichrs- are ve -y
agreeable to some palates. Slice
the bread very thin and spread
with mayonnaise and sliced ba
nana.
~ A gingerbread sandwich is a
pleasant dainty for luncheon or
afternoon tea." Cut squares of
ilie gingerbread, split ijiem in
two and spread with Neufchatit l
cheese and preserved ginger. |
A nice hot sandwich is made
by cutting bread half an inch
thick. Cut out a square in the
middle of the slice,, half way
through, and lill with a square j
of cream cheese. Sprinkle with
salt and paprika, cover with a
a thin slice of bread, brush over
with white of egg, toast in a
toaster and serve hot. This ia
good dish, for luncheon, aud it
is particularly delicious for. a
regalement. It would be
good at an informal party, at
which only one hot dish was to
be served. —Boston Transcript.

War on the Lonq Skirts.
Short skirts for women are
coming into greater favor every
day and Tor good reasons. They
are not only more convenient
than long, dragging skirts, but
are much more serviceable. The
strongest argument in favor of
the short skirt, however, is tliat
it is so much easier to keep
cleau and is, therefore, much
more healthful. The subject of
dress reform is being discussed
with great interest in Canada.
Not by women alone, but by
physicians and health authori
ties. One of the subjects most
fully considered at a large con
vention of physicians in Otto
wa recently was tuberculosis.
An eminent physician gave it as
his opinion that one-fifth of all
the deaths in Canada last year
resulted from pulmonary con
sumption. There was a con
census of Opinion that trailing
skirts were veritable germ traps
and tliHt their use out of doors
ishould be strongly discontinued.
It is very difficult to make fash
ions conform to rules of com
mon sense, but the reasons for
abolishing trailing skirts for
street wear should be sufficient
to appeal effectively to every
woman who values her health.
Dragging skirts are not neces
sary to woman's attractiveness.
