The Imtlnet of Leadership.
While, to make a great captain, all the
mental and physical qualities must exist
In the greatest jxieslble strength, varieties
of these in combination, to a greater or
less degree, have been possessed by gen

world' history, and the number and In

place In the list of great soldiers. Bom
generals are only brilliant upon the battle
field, and some even only in particular

sess certain qualities of a great leader to
an extent which amount, in it way, to
an exhibition of genius a great aa any

tn the power of his personal presence to
change a retreat luto an attack, and Scott
made a brilliant display of it at the battle
of Lundy' Lane. The civil war shows

Smith may be said to have had the genius
of battle highly developed In bim, a wa
conspicuously shown at the battle of Fort

Chicago's Feminine Billiard Experts.
The largest number of women players
at any one place may now be found at
the aristocratic Standard club on the
south aide. The younir women here do
not hesitate to play an even game with
the men, and hold their own, too.
The Misses Goodman are recognized
as the best two players on the south
aide. On the north side Miss Cool ranks
above all other female players. She can
play too strong a game for most ama
teurs, ranking tuus of fifty and sixty
with three balls. Two years ago such a
feat was considered next to impossible
for any woman. Hampered by her
skirts and corsets, there were any num
ber of shots that she conld not make.
These have been overcome, however, by
learning to handle the cue with the left
hand. Nothing now seems to stand in
the way of a woman learning to play the
game as well as the average man.
Potter Palmer has a table of unique
design which is a combination cabinet.
The scheme was devised by Mrs. Palmer,
who, with many of her north side
friends, delights in the game. The table
was built after an original design which
the furnished tbe factory. George M.
Pullman is the possessor of another hand
tome tabk, and the Misses Pullman are
credited with being able to play a fair
amateur game with four balls, Charles
Schwarti has a table that cost nearly
$1,000, and Mrs. IL U. Porter personally
looks after both a billiard and a pool
table in her elegant home. Chicago

A Itluw at Ieod Tea.
"Give me a tenderloin well done, sow
Lyonnalse potatoes and some celery."
"Yes, sir."
"And, waiter, bring me some iced tea."
"The worst thing you could drink," re
marked a doctor who was taking lunta
with a reporter.
"How is this?"
"First, the cold water is not good f
your stomach, and then as a preventki
from any epidemic it Is well to boil all
fluids used for drinking purposes. Tea
taken hot is moro wholesome than iced tea,
To prove this just look at the Chinese.
Their population Is enormous, but it could
never have increased to tho present num
ber if epidemics had ravaged that enipirt
as they have those of the west. Ti
Chinese are a healthy people in spite of
their Indescribably filthy surroundings. I
attribute this to their use of tea as a bet
erage. This is tho only redeeming featuit
of thsir lives. They do not drink it Iced,
but hot, and to make It they have to boil
