HOW TO GIVE CHILDREN AN APP
PETITE.

Give children an abundance of outdoor
exercise, fun, and frolic; make them regular
in their habits, and feed them only upon
plain, nourishing food, and they win sell
dom, if ever, complain Of a lack of appetite.
But keep them overtasked in school, COLI
fined closely to the house the rest of the
time, frowning down every attempt at play;
feed them upon rich or high seasoned food,
candies, nuts, etc, allow them to eat be
tween meals, and late in the evening, and
you need not expect them to have good ap-
petites. On the contrary, you may expect
they will be pale, weak, and sickly.
Don't cram them with food when they
don'twan't it, or have no appetite forit-such
a course is slow murder. II they have no
appetites, encourage, and if need be, COM
mand them to take exercise in the open air.
Don't allow them to study too much, and
especially keep them from reading the ex-
citing literature which so much aboUnds in
our bookstores and circulating libraries. In
addition to securing exercise for the chill
dren as above, change their diet somewhat;
especially if they have been eating fine -four,
change to coarse or Graham flour.
Sickness is the most expensive thing on
the face of the globe. There may be in
stances where it makes people or children
better, but generally it makes them selfish,
sad, misanthropic, nervous, mean, aud mis-
cradle. The best way to make children
happy and good is to keep them well.-Bos-
ton Journal of Chemistry.

Fight.

Yesterday evening little hair pulling and
neck squeezing took place between Mr.. John
c. Fehr and colored driver of an express
wagon concerning the payment of charges
due on some goods which the latter had Just
hauled up for the former. The fight Oc-
CURED on Church street opposite the Max
well, and lasted several minutes, the COM
battants not needing the large crowd that
hemmed them in, nor the muddy street
gutter into which they rolled. The negro
seemed to be near the point of victory
when he was induced to let go his hold by
an inumidating friend Of peace, who held
hammer in menancing manner above
the darkey's head. The police had them to
call upon the recorder and settle the matter
amicably.

These lists include towns placed under
every variety of conditions. There is but
one thing comparable among them, and
that is the quality of the water-supply; and
nothing can be clearer than that the death
rate increases just as the hardness of the
water decreases.
The finest breeds of cattle have origina-
ted in the hard-water tracts of Lincoln, Lei
cester, York, Durham, and Horthumber-
land, The finest horses, too, come from
hard-water districts; while, among the
gneiss of Shetland and the Grampians, and
the states of Wales and Cumberland, we
have the diminutive Welsh and Highland
sheep, the Herdvicks, the kyle, and the
pony as the characteristic, indigenous races
These facts are certainly significant,-at
least, until we hear from the other side

PRINTING OFFICE DELIVERY.
Roflw. 10 -..o..Gko d, !. 1900 G1f

Single copies 8 cents; to dealers at S5
cents per copy.
This is an advance over the ratesof 1871,
to which we have been driven by an imper
alive necessity, it having been demonstrated
in our experience that the price heretofore
charged is altogether inadequate to the out
lay and expense incurred in the publication
of such papers as we have been issuing from
the city of Nashville. Assuming that we
win not, in justice, be expected to publish a
paper at clear loss to ourselves, and also
assuming that only very small proportion
of the public have even the most re-
mote conception of what our ex-
penses really are, as compared with
what they were before the war, 1t viii be
appropriate to explain that every item for
material and labor is enhanced from one to
two hundred per cent, while some of them
are increased eight and ten times beyond
what they were in 1859 and 80. Then
the Nashville publisher paid out per week
less than five hundred dollars, which in
cluded all his expenses, while now the week
ly expense of publishing the UNION AND
AMERICAN and Republican Banner, each,
will average two thousand dollars, and it is
all cash. The workmen must be paid as
soon as the work is done.
since the year 1871 began, we have, by
doubling our telegraph expenses, increased
the volume of telegaphic report to ten
thousand words daiy-that is, by mourning
this additional outlay, we have been adj
mitted as members of the Western Asso-
ciated Press, so that now the people of
Nashville, who read our papers, get the
same telegraphic news received by New
York, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and
all the leading cities of the United States.
We feel assured that our patrons will
justify us in advancing the rates of subscrip-
ton as above given, since it is absolutely
necessary to sustain the expense of publ
cation. 10. GRIFFITH & Co.,

Early yesterday morning as passenger
train Of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road was about returning from the depot of
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, a
negro man named Fred Beasly, supposed to
be crazy or partially demented, attempted
to board the train. and being knocked I'M
der the wheels, several of the ca rs passed
over his body, causing terrible nutilation
and instant death. An inquest was held
under the direction of Coroner Brien, and
the result of the inquisition was in accord

Interesting BaptisnaI Services.

At the First Baptist Church, last Sunday,
Rev. DR.. 7. G.. Jones administered the
sacred rite of baptism to thirty persons, who
professed religion under the ministrations of
Rev. Mr.. Earle, and have attached them
selves to that church. About twenty other
persons who have lately professed religion,
and Joined the First Baptist Church, await
baptism, which will probably take place
next Sunday. Rev. VIM. A. Nelson, pas
tor of the Edgefeld Baptist Church, also
baptised at the same time and place seven
persons, who have recently attached them
selves to his church.

the latter quietly and gracefully measured
his fun length on the ground. The belliger-

Starkey, and the matter will this morning
undergo judicial investigation at the city

CatamOuut,

A gentleman ofthis city recently returned
from visit to Cheatham county informs us
that catamount has been prowling around
in the neighborhood OF Sycamore Mills.
The animal made bow to Mr.. G. r. Felts
while on his way home one night last week,
and had it not been for his presence of mind
in drawing knife and making towards the
animal it might have Jared badly with him.
1t is also reported that several depredatio ms
have been committed by the animal, which
doubtless belongs to that rowing band of his
kind that usually follow the knobs and
mountain ranges from the Cumberland
mountains up into Kentucky.

TO CLEAN LOOKTNC-GLAssES.

Take newspaper, fold it small, dip it in
basin of clean cold water. When thor
oughly wet, squeeze it out as you do
sponge; then rub it pretty hard all over the
surface of the glass, taking care that it is not
so wet as to run down in streams; in fact,
the paper must only be completely moisten-
ed, or dampened, all through. Let it rest a
few minutes, then go over the glass with a
piece of fresh newspaper, till it looks clean
and bright. The insides of windows may
be cleaned in the same way; also spectacle
glasses, lamp-glasses, etc. White p Iper that
has not been printed on is better; but in the
absence of that a very old newspaper, on
which the ink has become thoroughly dried,
should be used. Writing paper win not an
