Cultivate COntentment.

Be contented, my son. You need not
be satisfied with what you are; you
don't want to live without ambitions so
long as you live, strive to be something
better and higher and stronger to-mor-
row than you are to-day, but don't Wor-
ry; don't fret. Wear your ready-made
clothes with the air OF Il Prince, until
you can do better; eat your 25-cent din
ner with the manner of man who is
accustomed to fare sumptuously every
day on course dinners, and likes this
sort of thing for a change. Keep the
sunshine in your heart and it will shine
out of your face. The world is always
grateful to a sunny-tempered man, just
because he. is good enough and gracious
enough to live in it. Laugh, my son,
if your stomach is SO empty that you
can not tell whether your paints in your
liver or your backbone; wear your hat
jauntily if it is SO full. holes that you
can't see the grease and weather stains
that cover it speak cheerily, though
you have to wear your tovereoats every
time your shirt goes to the laundry.
1t won't be an easy thing to do,, right
along; the days will come when agood
indulgence in the ssblues'' would seem
like Paradise; there will be hours when
you would rather growl and wall than
look pleasant; there will be times when,
in spite of your strength and manhood
and good resolutions, you will go away
by yourself and groan and bury your
face in your hands and cry like a girl;
l know it, my son But don't make a
habit of it, and don't. let. any one see
you do it. 1t is dangerous luxury, son,
and should only be indulged in at very
long intervals and on rare occasions.
Cultivate contentment; if you have no
gloves, put your hands in your pockets;
If your coat is out at the elbows, back
up against the fence; if you have no hat,
you will never become bald. And when
prosperity comes not if, but when
you will be prouder of your good nature
in the dark days of adversity, my son,
than you can be of all the honors and all
the fame and position that prosperity
and success can bring you: Never wor-
ry, son; don't fret; it will only make
your face thin and your hair turn gray.

How Much Can q Man Eat2v

Eg=a = = +
The question asked by a correspond
ent as to the quantity of food necessary
to support life is, we suppose, rather
intended as an inquiry as to the quantity
needed by an adult person in the ordi-
nary vocations of life. An American
soldier has daily given him 20 ounces of
bread, IL ounces OF, pork ser bacon, OF
90 ounces of fresh or salt beef, 16 ounces
of potatoes three times a week, 1.6
ounces of rice, with 1.6 ounces of coffee,
2.04 ounces of sugar, "a Of a gill OF
bears, 80 of a gill of vinegar. % .16 of a
Gill of salt. As to the quantity of this
food, it is larger and more abundant
than weald. seem at FIRST sight to DE
necessary, but the iberality in food has
this great advantage, that. in time OF
hard work, the fatigue Of the individual
is diminished and the power Of recuper-
alton sensibly increased. The total
quantity, then, provided for a soldier of
the United States army is.lager than is
consumed by the general working man.
Of course, various conditions of life, eli
mate, and locality have to do with the
quantity of food. Thus, an idle person
can get along very well with 2.75 ounces
of nitrogenous food. and 90 ounces of
carbonaceous food (fiesh and cereal Or
vegetable foodl, when, if the same in
dividual were walking or in active out
door life, double this quantity might be
used: Perhaps the Esquimaux repre-
sent the heaviest feeders in the world,
for Parry tells of a young native who
devoured in the twenty-four hours nine
and half pounds of sea-horse, half raw,
half cooked; one and three-fourths
pounds of bread one and .one-fourth
pints Of good, strong, soupi one and
tRreeLfo5arth pounds of ship bread and
nine pints of water, not counting groe
and spirits Both Sir John Ross And
DIR. Hayes, from personal observation
declare that the daily ration of an Es
auima,lx, may range from twelve IL
twenty pounds of flesh food. On the
other hand, it is quite remarkable how
! small a quantity Of food . man may eat

A Confederate Relic.

A Confederate cap machine has been
found in Danville in some old rubbish,
all complete, butvery rusty. and has no
doubt been lying. in its present place
ever since the war. This machine was
invented by Mr.. w. H. Wash, OF this
county. In May, 1861, Mr.. Wash was
in Richmond, where he found the Coy
ernment had engaged a Mr.. Debow, "a
Northern man, to supply it in musket
caps, that were thenin great demand.
Debow asked Wash down in the arsenal,
and while looking at it, Wash remarked
that he could make better machine,
and Gen. FDimmoek standing by re-
piled that it was very desirable he should
do so. He went to- Eynchburg, and there
in the Phoenix Foundry, with A. Dab
ney & Son, in % days time he had; pro
duced a cap machine that would MAKE
$4,000 good caps in ten hours. This ne
took to Richmond and sold it to the
Governments for $4,000. He returned
to Lvnchburg and made another ma
chine, a great improvement on his first
whose capacity was 81, 900 caps per day
of ten hours. Tlis he sold for $1,000
Shortly after he made the third machine
which would make II 900 caps per hour
four different sizes of caps, and it was
placed in the arsenal under Gen. Dim
mock's supervision. The Yankee pa
pers at the time pronounced 1t /" a blss
Confederate lie On the evaeuatont o
Richmond Mr.. Wash was ordered tt
Lynchburg with these machines, hve o
them. and this last, the 1900 per hou
machine, was loaded on a two-hors'
wagon and taken through the country tt
Lynchburg, and thence to this city
where, it hasibeen ever since. iItis, per

The Alaska Glaciers.

{ A writer in the San Francisco Bulletin
is enthusiastic over the great glaciers
near Fort Wrangel, Alaska. Standing
at the mouth of the ford, he says, the
water foreground is of pale, milky
blue color, from the suspended rock-mud
issuing from beneath the grinding giaci-
er-one smooth sheet sweeping back
five or six miles, like one of the lower
reaches of great river. At the head
the water is bounded by a barrier wall
of bluish-white ice, from 500 to 600 feet
high, few mountain tops crowned with
snow appearing beyond it. On either
hand stretched a series of majestic
granite rocks from 5000 to 1900 feet
high, in some places bare, in others forest
ed and allwell patched with yellow-green
chaparral and fowery gardens, especial
ly about halfway up from top to bottom,
and the whole built together in Yose-
mite Valley, extending far beyond the
ice-barrier, one immense brow appear
ing bevond the other, while their bases
are buried in the glacier. This is, in
fact, a Yosemite Valley in process OF
formation, the modelling and sculpture
of the walls nearly completed and well
planted, but no groves as yet or gardens,
or meadows, on the raw and unfinished
bottom. The whole front and brow OF
this majestic glacier are gashed and
sculptured into a maze of yawning
chasms and crevasses, and a abewilderlnS
variety of strange architectural forms,
appalling TO the strongest nerves, but
novel and eautiful beyond measure
clusters of elittering lance-tipped spires,
| gables. and sobelisks, bold outstanding
bastions and plain mural cliffs, adorned
along the top with fretted cornice and
battiement, while every gorge and crew
asse, chasfn and hollow, was filled with
light. Along the sides we could see the
| mighty food grinding against the gran
/ ite with tremendous pressure, rounding.
the outswelling bosses, deepening and
i smoothing the retreating hollows, and
iI shaping every portion of the mountain
i walls into the forms they were meant to
Il have, when. in the fullness of appointed
II time the ice-tool should be lifted and set
b aside by the sun. Back two or three
miles from the front the current is now
/ probably about 200 feet deep; bu
i when we examine the walls, the groovet
and rounded features, so surely glacial
show that in the earlier days of the ice
! age they were all over-swept, this glacie
! having flowed at height OF from thre
! / to four thousand feet above its presen
level.

A WRITER in the N. Y. Tribune says:
Winter squash is not only more nutri-
tious and palatable than pumpkins for
ones own table, but also to feed to stock.
We have given up raising the latter on
this account, and only cultivate the. for
mer. It is true we do not get 50 large
quantity of winter squash per acre as
of pumpkins; but it is SO much less
watery, and so much more nutritious,
the better quality more than compen-
safes for the lesser quantity. The mo-
ment they begin to ripen one ought to
commence feeding them, as animals de-
rive greater .nourishment from them in
mild weather, rather than in cold. De-
tober and November are probably the
best months to feed them; if delayed till
December, and they get frozen, they
will do animals little good. 1t is much
more difficult to keep pumpkins and
sauashes than roots, for they can not
be buried in the grouud for preservation
like them, and stored in a cellar, or any
warm place, they are apt to rot fast
We have kept them longest and best in
winter, piled on, the barn floor. or hay
loft covered thickly with straw or coarse
hay. 8flil;.9sH

a A New Kind of Wine.

. A few days ago, says the San Antonio
Freie Pfesse, one of our subscribers sent
us IL few bottles of wine. When the
bottles were delivered at our residence
we did not know whittier or from whom
the BOTTLES were. judging by the color of
the fluid and the manner OF cOrklng we
took it to be Texas wine. Now we must
admit, that while there are, right good
wines made in Texas, as a general thing
we have kind of horror of most OF
them. We have been. complimented
with bottles of mustang wine that was
almost rs bad as the celebrated Schleisan
cannon wine, so called. because. it was so
sour that it would draw up even the
mouth of ia cannon. .i92 We therefore
were rather. cautious about tampering
with that wine from Austin County.
Finally, we cooled it and tried glass,
touching it very lightly, however To
our surprise we found it really excellent.
We supposed it. to- be from grapes not
unlike those of which the, California
wine is made. It had the color and the
sweet taste, and the aroma of Spanish
or Italian wine, and couple of glasses
were decidedly exhilarating. We were
very anxious to know who grew the
grapes from which such excellent wine
had been made. There was a letter in
the office from Mr.. William Hagemann,
in New Ulm, Austin County, who is the
kindly gentleman who had Sent the wine
to the editor of the Trete Presse, who
can, however,, imagine our astonlsh,
ment when we learned from Mr..
Hagemann's letter. that we had
been drinking wine made from toma-
toes. We had tried cider, and also
know that the English make a right
good wine from gooseberries, but vine
from tomatoes could not get into our
head, notwithstanding we felt the effect
of it in, that region very. distinctly. In
summer any quantity Of tomatoes is
grown.lsjWhy, every body might have
cellar full of wine of his own. Mr..
Hagemann writes at have got up a
drink from tomatoes, which, while it
does not come up to genuine wine, GER
tainly lays over the mustang wine in
taste, and is certainly much more
healthy. The tomato is. as healthy as a
beverage as it is as food, and In this
country, where SO many are troubled
with their ivers, this wine will be a pos
tive benefit. As far as this beverage
goes, last year made about a thousand
gallons, which was SO much liked that
in April I had none left. This year
made 200 gallons. AS it is in reality
cider, which is not taxable either by the
State or United States, owing to the bell
punch tax, there is a great demand fo1
it among the grocers. | call my drink
by the proper name, tomato cider,
