Confederate Makc.ShIfts.

Every household became a nest of
domestic manufactures, every farm
had its cotton patch and its sorghum
field. Spinning-wheels and looms,
which in the former days had been
used for clothing the slaves on large
plantations, but which during the era
Of cheap dry goods we're comparative

dies whose white hands were all un-
used to such labor learned to card,
to spin and to weave. Knitting be-

spun dresses were worn by the first
ladies in the land, and she who was
cleverest to contrive and deftest to
execute had highest praise from her
associates. Foreign dyes were well
nigh unattainable, and the woods at
home were ransacked for the means
OF coloring home grown fax, wool,
and cotton. Black walnut bark fur

berries, solferino, bright, but not
durable; wild indigo gave tolerable

resulted in any substitute for logwood

The New and Old styles.

No one reads the journals of to-
day but is struck by the difference
between the old and new style Of
paragraphing, particularly in speak
ing of accidents and casualties.
Formerly the facts were given in
concise language and without any
attempt to gloss over the feast of
horrors that was spread from time
to time. But now, particularly in
progressive America, all this is
changed, and the caterers to the
public are sure TO find q ludicrous
side to every blood curdling accident
or casualty, and it is dished up in q
manner to rob it of its native ghast-
illness. We give few such:
"a man found fault with the beel
at Memphis hotel recently and the
coroner made three dollars on him."
"a man laid q wager that he could
catch = fly off the hind leg OF mule,
and his widow remarked at his funer-
al, that he was a kind husband but
knew very little about mules"
"a cat got mixed up with q buzz
saw few days tince-ReQuis-cat
IN pieces.."
aBruno Popp, popped the question
and then pop went his brains!"
"a merchant kissed the hired girl
while his wife was looking At him
through the window. The doctor
says he will be out again in few
days."
"Henry Laymen = bed cord
Jealousy"
"a Leavenworth editor sat down
on Z hornet. He stands while scis-
soring his editorials now
"John Baldwin owned q defective
Aue. He doesn't now. Loss 5000"
"A man lit his pipe while riding
on load Of hay. He complained OF
being tired after carrying the iron
work of the wagon home on his
shoulders"
"a man hearing that coal oil would
cure epizootic, bathed his horse in it..
He never coughed again.
"A lad pulled it through the brush
by the muzzle, and was buried at
Neilsville, Wis"
"Mrs. White took hot fat iron to
bed with her, and will have to sleep
in the woodshed till the new house
is under roof"
"An Indian opened can of notro-
glyeerinc with his tomahawk. He's
q good Indian now"
"a man bought new gun. In
loading it he put two charges in one
barrel. He now has shattered leg
but no gun. The doctor probed the
wouad to the depth of three inches
but found no gun"
"The man who went to interview
the Camden Journal last week walks
quite slowly with his hickory cane"
"In Kansas the doctors are boring
fellow for lead. The owner of the
chickens uses number six shot"
"Her fathers Watchdog had bro
ken the chain. Her beau says as
soon as he can endure the torture, he
will be measured for a new pair of
pants"
ga man was very hot and drank |
three glasses of ice water. He was
cool when the coroner arrived"
"a man offered his mother-in-law
to the authorities during the Boston
FIRE to blow up buildings. Either
his scull or the poker had to break
md the poker wouldn't."

Rational Medication,

Medication is only successful when it is
rational, and it is rational only when 1t be.
gins at the beginning. In other words, to
cure malady its cause must be removed. -
Weakness, either general or local, is the or.
igin Of the great majority of diseases. Rein.
force the vital energies, regulate digestion
and secretion, by strengthening the organs
which perform those all important functions
and dyspepsia, constipation, kidney and
bladder complaints, uterine difficulties, i'm.
pure circulation, and the thousand and one
ailments which are the consequences of de-
bility, are completely and in most cases per.
manently, removed. The best, safest and
most agreeable tonic and alternative that
can De employed for this purpose Is Hostel.
ter's Stomach Bitters. The experience OF
twenty five years, during which time 1t has
out live perhaps ten times that number of
ephemcral preparations which have entered
into competition with 1t, has proved it To
be unequaled as remedy for all disorders
accompanied by or proceeding from weak
ness.
