UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, 2 p. m.-Dr. Bliss
just came from the patients room, and be-
fore leaving the Mansion said that the Presi-
dent had taken nourishment twice since mid
day dressing occurred-at 12.45 and 1. As p.
m. 1t consisted of cooled infusion of beef,
mixed with few drops of muriatic acid.
The statement heretofore made, that mu-
riatic acid was one of the component parts
of the enemata, was erroneous. The pa
tient is given but about teaspoonful
at time What has been administered thus
far has been retained, and the improvement
anticipated by it has been realized. The
President, shortly after the first dose was
taken, expressed himself as feeling better,
md his pulse indicated great improve
nent, having become stronger and the
aumber Of beats materially decreased.

companies of artillery; thr" lcgions,
three regiments and one separate troop
of cayahy, and infantry rs follows:
Three regiments and two separate com

regiments from Massachusetts; two

and one invalid regiment, ninety one
organizations in all; staff officers
not known in regiments; quartcrmas-
ters and commissarics must have been
either civilian or regimental officers.
The engineer corps was Otliccrcd almost
entirely by foreigners. Kosciusko was
appointed colonel Of engineers in l1l6.
In l1Si the army was re- organized, with
General Knox as major general, Baron

How to Be Miserable ,

Charles Kingsley gives the following
thoughts on how to be miserable. He
says: "Think about yourself, about
what you want, what you like, what
respect people ought to pay to you, and
then to yourself nothing will be pure.
You will spoil everything you touch ;
you will make misery for yourself out
of everything; you will be as wretched
as you choose on earth, or in heaven
either, l say; for that proud, greedy,
selfish, self-seeking spirit would turn
heaven into hell. 1t did turn heaven
into hell for the great devil himself.
1t was by pride, by seeking his own
glory, that he fell from heaven to hell.
He was not content to give up his own
will, and do Gods will. lie would be
a master himself and set up for him
self and rejoice in his own glory; and
so when he wanted to make a private
heaven Of his own he found he made u
hell. Why? Because his heart was
not pure, clean, honest and unselfsh."

Best Time for Brain Work.

Or. Foote's Health Monthly
A writer for "The London Lancet"
in enumcrating the advantages of ear
ly rising, lays special stress on the
statement that the early morning is the
best time for mental labor, that the
brain having had a few hours rest dur
sleep, is at its best. He says: "Those
who do not feel thus on awakening are
either the subjects of some morbid
state or the slaves of Il habit which,
however common, is essentially unnat-
ural."
The subjects of some morbid state
are so common that they MAY include
all those who do not find their brains
most clear, ready and useful in the ear
ly morning, but we have another eX-
PLANTATION to offer for them, one which
will account for it in those who are
not willing to acknowledge Il morbid
state or unnatural habit. Our explain
alton is, WE think, physiological, natrl-
raj and sufficient. 1t is this. AS a
rule our bodily organs are at then
best when "under way" us is said of a
steamer. A pedestrian cannot do his
best until warmed up his work. Ra-
cling horses are not started in race
until they have been "Specded' once or
twice round the track to Timber their
muscles. Though sleep rests our mus
cles, We are not likely to wake in the
morning in best condition for an ath-
letic contest. 1t takes the muscles
some time to wake up and get accus-
toned to their regular business. Sleep
affects brain even more than muscle,
and to hurry the brain from state of
absolute repose to its condition Ofgreat-
est activity is neither IN easy or II good
thing to attempt. Most persons find
their brains at their "beSt" toward the
latter part of the day, when that organ
is not only prepared for work by Il few
hours of exercise, but also because the
blood circulation is more free, rapid
and forcible than it is at early morning,
and active blood circulation is very nee
cssaly to good brain work. The ear
ly morning is good time TO use for
awakening the muscles and blood cir
culatiOn with Il little exercise, thus
awakening an appetite for Il good solid
breakfast. When all the bodily func-
tiOns are invigorated and refreshed,
the brain will, like wclI-fed horse
that feels his OATS he ready for what
ever it may he called upon todo.

John B. Cough and His Cigars,

4 good story is told by John i.
Cough, who used to caution his hear
ers against iltcnpcrance including
the habit of chewing and smoking to-
bacco, as well as the use Of strong
drinks. Although he had faced thous.
mds of immense audiences without
fear he acknowledges that on one oc-
caSiOn he encountered an cmbmrass-
m"nt he could not overcome. 1t was
his own fault, he says, and proved Il
useful lesson which he never forgot,
In his OWn words:

number of children in the afternoon,

the close of my speech | became more
in earnest, and after warning the boys
against bad company, tobacco, drink,

said:
"Now, boys, let us give three rouS-

Preserving Potatoes.

4 California inventor has made a
machine for pressing and drying pOta-
toes so that they will keep for years,
yet preserve their natural flavor. No
chemicals are used in the operation of
curing, everything being done by a
simple machine capable of pressing Of
six hundred bushels of potatoes in
twenty-fOur hours. The machine not
only presses the potatoes, but lays
them on a tray in concave form with
the hollow side down. After the pres
sure they are put in the drying ap'
paratus, where they remain for two
hours, then they are ground into coarse
meal resembling cracked rice. The
first shipment of these preserved pota-
toes to Liverpool last year brought a
large profit. The average price of po-
tatoes in San Francisco is about twenty
five cents Il bushel, Dried they
brought forty-fve shilings hundred
weight, or at the rate Of dollar and a
half for green potatoes. This year
preparation has been made for drying
and shipping large quantities. 1t is
said that there are three hundred thou
sand acres of mcultivated land on the
western slope of the Coast Range, near
San Francisco, especially adapted to
potato growing. The fogs and mists
from the ocean supply sufficient mois-
ture, and the soil yields bountifully.
The only problem heretofore has been
where to market the product.

A SWEDISH POEM .

1t matters little where | was born,
Or II my parents were rich or poor;
Whether they Shrank at the cold worlds
scorn,
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
tell you, brother, plain as am,
Ii matters much!
II matters little how long stay
In world of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether in youth am called away
Or live till my bones and pate are bare
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight Of adversity'S touch
On the faded cheek of my fellOw-man,
II matters much
II matters little where be my grave,
On the land or on the sea;
By purling brook or meath stormy wave,
1t matters little or naught to me;
But whether the angel of Death comes
down
And marks my brow with his loving
touch;
As one that shall wear the victOr's crown,
1t matters much

Metals in the Body.


The human body, which seems made
up of flesh and blood, really contains
several metals and gases, and other
substances, which perform important
offices in the world of science. Nitro
gen and carbon, and hydrogen, are its
chief constituents, but it holds, besides
about two pounds of phosphorus which
is essential to the health of the bones
and vigor of the brain. This phos-
phorus, if extracted and put to use,
would make up about 1000 packages
of friction matches. Besides phOs-
phOrus, it contains n few ounces of
sodium, and a half ounce of potassem,
which schoOl-boys know us curious
metal, that burns brilliantly on the
surface of the water, or when touched
by an icicle. The quantity of such in
the body would be sufficient for many
experiments in Il large school. In adj
dition to sodium and potassium, there
are a few grains of magnesium, enough
to make the "silver rain" for a family's
stock of rockets on a Fourth of July
evening, or to create Il brilliant light
visible twenty miles away. Who
knows but some reckless chemist may
undertake to drive profitable busi-
ness by extracting these materials from
dead bodies?

THE FIRST PANTALOONS,

Did you ever see a boy
Half so proud as he,
In his mimic pantdlOOns
Reaching to his knee?
BabyhOOd has reached his span,
And the world has gained man.
Alexander never felt
Quite SO great and grand,
Though he had the whole of earth
Under his command.
Hear him laugh with merry shout,
As he struts himself about.
Mamma sees the coming man
With a throb of pain,
For no more the baby-king
Der her heart will reign;
And she prays to God above
To protect him with his love.
