His Military Ideas.

Mark Twain picked up great many
useful as well as orna mental military ideas when
he was at West Point recently. He had sevcfaI
talks with the cadets. who charged him to the
muzzle and fred him off at the banquet given to
the Society Of the Army of the Potomac the other
evening. Among other military maxims stored up
in the receptive brain of Mark is this one: When
you are traversing the enemy's country in order
10 destroy his supplies and cripple his resources,
you want 10 take along plenty of camp-followers.
The more the better. They are a tremendously
effective Of the service. and they inspire in
the foe the liveliest dread. West Point professor
told me that the wisdom of this was recognized as
far back as Scripture times. He quoted the verse.
He said il was from the new revision, and was
little different from the way it reads in the old
one. do not recollect the exact wording of it
now. but ] remember that it wound up with some
thing about such and such a devastating agent
being as terrible as an army with bummers.'"

A Hint to the Lean.

The cause of leanness when there is no positive
disease which produces it is imperfectassimila-
ton of the food. The weight Of the body undoubt-
edly bears marked relation to, and increases
proportonately to its height, when it is properly
nourished with flesh making blood. Hence, when
we see tall person with "slab' sides and hollow
cheeks we have right to infer that his blood is
thin and watery and his constitution delicate.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is peculiarly service
able to thin. delicate people, since it strengthens
the digestive and assimilative organs and is con-
sequently powerful auxiliary in the blood manu-
featuring processes which in a state of health
ought to be and are thoroughly performed An
increase of muscle, as well as fat is result of
using this sovereign anti-dyspeptic, appetizing,
and generally corrective cordial. MWF
