How TO REST EAsY.-The best mode
of resting when fatigued depends upon
the cause of the fatigue and the condi-
ton of the person at the time. There
is one thing. however. which will always
rest tired person, and that is sponge
or towel bath over the whole person of
the body, followed by a thorough rub
bing and friction of the surface Of
course the temperature of the water and
the vigor and amount of rubbing must
be graduated to the strength of the per-
son. 1t is generally best if given by a
second person. When the fatigue is
mental. arising from over-exertion of the
brain. the muscles should be called int
action, as by walking, horseback riding
rowing. playing ball, pitching quoits
gymnastics, etc. General muscular ia
tigue is quickly relieved by lying on tn,
face and having some one rub and per
cuss the back vigorously. Also, but les
readily, by lying fat upon the back up
on hard couch or bed. or upon the floor
with the hands back of or under tn
head. but the head not otherwise RAISED
and taking full, deep breaths. LOca
muscular fatigue may be relieved b,
changing position and bringing othe
parts Of the body into action.

A CONFEDERATE GENERAL IN
VAGRANCY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Last
evening a tall, haggard and ragged-loOk
ing individual found his way into the
Cumminsville station house and into a
cell for safe keeping. He had all the
marks of dissipation about him-blood
shot eyes, infamed skin and bruised
face. He had what was still worse and
still more convincing-a violent attack
of that terrible man killer disease delir-
ium tremens. He claimed to be home
less, friendless and moneyless, and to
have walked all the way from Indianap-
oils. He said he was Major Gen. Viii
liam H. Wheeler of the late confederate
army, on his way to his old home and
birth place in Culpepper Court house,
Va, where he wanted to die.
Gen. Wheeler will be remembered as
dashing officer who figured so bril-
liantly during the war in the cavalry
service. The story of this poor tramp,
claiming to be this famous general, is
sad one if true and an interesting one
any way. He says he is 60 years old,

class of 80 that while commanding at
the battle Of Shiloh his son was shot
and killed that in less than two weeks
after intelligence came of the death of
his wife, then the escape of all his
slaves numbering nearly 20, and lastly,
4 his Virginia farms that he had signed
over to his brother to escape con6scation,
had been seized or sold by that brother
creditors, leaving him pauper. AT
the close of the war he alleges he drift
ell from one place to another. finally

anybody. There is nothing more often

How FARMERS ARE SwINDLED.-
The farmers of Maine last spring were
swiDdled out of much money by an agent
selling moving machines. The agent
draws up note something of this form !:
IL promise to pay, on the receipt of ten
moving machines, A. B. or order, three
months after date, $500, value received"
A place is left for the witness and anoth-
er for the signature The dishonesty Of
the thing was, that the words ION receipt
of ten moving machines" run out on the
line beyond the body of the note, so that
they could be torn off like the stub
of check book. leaving good prOmis-
sorry note behind. The note the agent
carried to bank and got it discounted.
The farmer waited for the machines that
didn't come, and INDUCED in dreams Of
his $3.50 profit when he should receive
them. But the note did not fail to come
three months after date, and had to be
paid. 1t is stated that several thousand
dollars were swindled out of Maine far.
