TIE OFFICER WHO NEVER DRANK
In the early part of the late war, when
Gen. Grant was in command of the army
before Vicksburg, a number of officers
were gathered at his headquarters, having
pleasant social time, One of them
invited the party to join a social glass;
all but one accepted. He asked to be
excused saying that he " never drank" {"
The hour pissed. each went his way to
his respective command.
A few days after this the officer who
declined to drink received note from
Gen. Grant to report at headquarters. He
obeyed the order, and was soon in the
presence of the general. Grant says to
him: You are the officer, l believe"
for their acquaintance was slight. who
remarked the other day that you never
drank" The officer modestly replied
that he was. Then" continued the
general, "you are the man l have been
looking for to take charge Of the commits
sary department, and order that you be
detailed for that duty" He served his
country faithfully until the close of the
war and was honorably discharged
Years passed, and Grant had come to be
president. The officer had settled down
to the duties of private life, and the little
incident was cherished us Il pleasant mem
ory.
The trouble on the border between
Texas and Mexico along the Rio Grande
attracted the attention of congress, and 9
commission was ordered to ascertain the
facts and report. Again President Gran

To MEND SToCKINGs.-A lady, who
finds in the practice of the homely art that
she brings comfort to her family, gives
these suggestions as to stocking
Given a dozen pair of woolen ribbed
socks. Select from them the two or three
pairs most worn; cut away the heels and
toes, and lay by the better parts for use in
mending-well, yes, for patches.
From the best hose retained TO be re-
paired, cut out the worn heel, AMI from
the patches cut a new heel precisely like
the old one.
First sew the bottom of the heel, then
sew it into the place made vacant. Use
soft cotton, or else the fine, soft mending
yarn, which comes. of all colors, on spools.
Sew the raw edges "over and over,'
about as close as nice overcast, SO that
when the new heel is worn out, you have
only TO pull the thread and insert another.
The thread must not be so tight but that
the seam will fatten and become imper-
ceptible to the foot. To sew in such a
heel will require about one minute.
If the toe is worn. so that the new darns
seem to take from the old, and the rent is
made worse, cut it off so far from the in
step as it is thin.
From the top of the sock put aside, cut
new toe like the old. Sew across the
end, and then around the foot, observing
to make the seam, as before, fiat and soft.
When again worn out, repeat the pro
cess, till the entire dozen, like the fabled
ducks, have eaten one another up.

Pictures are an almost endless source OF
amusement to children, and as great
variety may now be had at trif1ing cost,
there are but few families where some are
not to be found. There are, perhaps, as
few families where vexation has not been
experienced in finding how soon the mere
paper pictures are torn. A simple plan,
by which children may use them for years
without tearing, is TO paste them on to
cheap calico, Or the better part of worn
out calico garments will do just as well
Rub with little smooth flour paste the
back of the picture, and the calico on
which it is to be put, then lay the picture
quite smooth upon the calico, and leave ii
gradually TO dry; when quite dry, neatly
cut around the edges, and the engraving
will bear all the hard treatment children
are likely to give it without being torn,
Parents who have not tried this method
would be surprised what fund of amuse'
ment they might inexpensively acquire
for their children, if they would so serve
every picture that comes in their way, ano
provide box or portfolio for their recep'
lion. When, however, we say every pic
ture, we must be understood, OF course, tt
mean every picture that is worthy o
preservation.

of the triumph of the glorifed ones, with
whatever badge of bereavement might
seem TO them fittest to indicate their own
sorrow.
1t seems to me that this question of
mourning raiment must long remain for
individual judgment to decide. But it
makes a great gain in liberation AMI in
personal independence that it has reached
that final tribunal. Undoubtedly the
universal use of black, which society once
exacted, did lay heavy burden on the
unable, which they may now refuse if they
choose. There are those who derive
certain solace from the harmony of their
sombre robes with their darkened lives.
And there are circumstances wherein this
profound show of grief is doubtless
protection.
But there is at least one habit which
calls for censure, and that is the ghastly
anomaly of wearing these garments of
heavness as if they were a festal raiment.
If weeds mean anything, they mean a
grief so deep, an experience so absorbing,
as TO have shut out all the usual corners of
life, and encompassed the mourner in a
solitude of desolation, of which the gloomy
garb and the shrouding veil are the made
quate embems. Good taste must demand,
therefore that first mourning should be
made with severest simplicity-plain, in
expensive and inconspicuous. Afterward,
as time softens the first agony of separa-
ton, and worldly interests again assert
themselves, it is fitting that change of
attire should indicate this change of feel
ing.
But mourning is essentially votive
garb, and may never display the caprice,
costliness or elaboration which are per-
missible to other dress. Yet everywhere
we see it made in accordance with the
mode. loaded with trimmings, from life
less Grape to flashing bugles, arrogant with
flounces, panniers, overskirts, and with its
cost proclaimed in every inappropriate
inch. 1t is even common to wear dia-
monds, the ultimate expression of the
pomp and splendor of worldly life. If
anything can discredt the use eff mourn
ing, it will be this mindless frippery, this
vulgar parody, which is not less bitter
satire on the living than strange affront
to the dead, since it turns the darkest
mystery of existence into vanity of van
ities.-Harpers' Bazar.
