A Few Simple Remedies.

A teaspoonful of charcoal in half a glass
of warm water often relieves a sick head
ache It absorbs the gases and relieves
the distended stomach, pressing against
the nerves that extend from the stomach
to the head.
Charcoal forms an unrivaied poultice
for wounds and old sores. It is also in
valuable for what is called proud flesh.
1t is great disinfectant. 1t sweetens the
air if placed in shallow dishes around the
apartment, and foul water is also purified
by its use.
For bruises or sprains battle the part in
cold water until you get ready a decoction
of NORWOOD and vinegar. When the
herb is fresh gathered, pound the leaves,
wet with vinegar, and bind on, and when
the herb is dry put it in the vinegar, and
let it boil short time; then battle the
bruise with the detection and bind on the
herb.
There is nothing better for cut than
powdered resin. Get few cents worth,
pound it until it is quite fine, put it in a
cast-off spice box with perforated top,
then you can easily sift it on the cut.
Put soft cloth around the injured mem
Der, and wet it with water once in a while;
it will prevent inflammation or soreness.
When one has a bad cold and the nose
is closed up so that he cannot breathe
through it, relief may be found instantly
by putting little camphor and water
into the centre of the hand and shutting
it up the nose. 1t is a great relief.
Hoarsness and tickling in the throat
are best relieved by the gargle of the
white of an egg beaten to froth in half
a glass of warmed, sweetened water.
Hiccough can be Immediately relieved
by administering lump of sugar wet
with vinegar.
A simple and harmless remedy and pre-
ventive for persons suffering from ear
sickness is a sheet of writing paper worn
next to the person directly over the chest.
1t is highly recommended and seldom
fails

A COmical Side.

A serious incident with comical side
to it happened on Canadian railway the
other day. AS a train was approaching
Versailles the conductor pulled the bell
rope as signal for the. engineer to stop
the train. The bell, however, did not
ring, so he lefisa6uIr and clambered ON
top of the wood P1ssAn the tender. Here
he found a shovel, which he threw to the
engineer to attract his attention. 1t fell
between the engineer and the fireman,
and the latter having a long standing
quarrel with the conductor, thinking the
shovel had been aimed at him, imme-
diately picked up hammer and launched
it after the conductor, who was retreat
ing to the cars. The shot was a good
one, as well as others which followed.
and before the retreating conductor could
reach shelter he had received two ugly
cuts on the head

The Paymaster- Generals Report.

The Paymaster-General of the Army,
in his report for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1882, shows that the total re-
ceipts and disbursements for the year
were SIS, 49,, 245. 81. He recommends
that the act of July 30 be so amended as
to allow, in the discretion of the Secre-
tary of War, one months leave of absence
to officers of the army without deduction
of pay or allowance for each year during
which such absence has not been taken.
He thinks it would be better still if all
laws affecting the pay of officers while
on leave were repealed He also recon-
mends the repeal of that provision in the
act of July q, 1876, which forbids pay
ment of mileage over land grant railroads,
saying that it is desirable that paymas-
tiers should be notified within reason
able time, say one year from the time
payments are actually made, of the con-
dltlon of their accounts in the hands of
the Auditor and Comptroller. The Pay
masterG General says that the enlisted men
OF the army continue to avail themselves
of the benefits of the deposit system.
During the ten years this system has been
in operation So, S13, 0S1. 70 has been re-
ceived on deposit. The payments during
the same period amount to 50, 766, 613.27,
leaving a balance still on deposit of 81 O46,-
46S. 81. He recommends that the act of
May Is, 1872, be SO amended as to allow
interest on the minimum deposit $50
from the date of deposit, and that the
benefit of the deposit system be extended
to the commissioned officers of the army.

A Patriotic Magistrate.

A Memphis magistrate had before him
young man who at a masked ball the
night before had figured as George Wash
ington, to whom, however, his resem-
blance was so entirely superficial that he
became drunk and abusive before the
night was over. The magistrate pro-
nounced sentence IN the following homely
but emphatic language ''Now, if you
bad got drunk as a private citizen. and
had cussed and ripped around as such. I
should have fined you So; but masmuch
as you appeared at the masked ball and
committed the offense while personating
the character of George Washington, the
reverend father of his country, [ will have

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
GEN. SHERAIAN'S VIEWS ABOUT 1T.
He Wants More Men for the Army, and il will
Cost More Money.

Gen. Sherman in his report for the
past year, says that the fear of exceeding
the limit of 25, 900 men in the army, or
the difficulty of enlisting men in these
prosperous times, has kept the army
below what the honor or the necessity of
the country demands, and he advises a
change of the limit to 100000 The
troops during the transition period on
the frontier, he says, have lived in holes
in the ground, in houses made of green
cottonwood logs, infested by vermin, in
temporary shanties, generally without
murmur; but now this battle with poverty
is over, or nearly so, and he appeals to
Congress to confer on the President, the
Secretary of War, or on a board of general
officers, the power to designate the places
of strategic importance at which to erect
suitable permanent buildings for properly
quartering the troops.
Under the head of "Courts Martial"
he says: 81 invite your attention to the
report of Gen. Mcdowell, who instances
how we cling to old notions prohibiting
courts martial from sitting after O'Clock
p. m. because 100 years ago, in England,
officers were wont to dine and get drunk
at that hour Now we dine when we can,
keep sober all the time, and there is no
reason why courts martial should not sit
all night if necessary to reach verdict
the same as a civil jury.
"There was a loss to the army by de-
sertion of 3,741. This is a most serious
matter. The chief cause is that most of
the recruits in New York or the larger
cities, are transported to the West, where
by desertion, at little risk of capture
and punishment, they obtain the highest
wages. The remedy Will be found in a
more liberal treatment of a good soldier
and more certain punishment of the
deserter. [ therefore recommend that
the pay of enlisted men be restored to
what it was in 1865, and that the punish
ment for desertion be more clearly de-
fined by law and increased in severity.
Aggravated cases during active cam
paigns or in the Indian country should
be treated as capital, as is done under
almost every civilized government" He
advises spending more money on the
military schools
