How Ooppsrbottom Got His Raious,

The bloody Seventh Arkansas Bat
TALON from Batcsville. Ark, had never
fired Gun or missed meal up to the
battle of Shiloh. Old Copper was
quartermaSter and also commissary, and
had no difficulty in drawing rations up
on almost any kind of rcquisition, until
we were attached to Gen. SmithenS'
division. at Corinth, had struck IN at
mosphere where it required conSidera-
BILE red tape to get anything. Old Cop
per was plain, matter of fact man,
and went with his usual form of rcquisi-
ton to draw cOmmissarics from the di-
vision commissary This dignitary re-
fused 10 issue unless the paper was in
better language and form. Old Copper
at once repaired to the headquarters
and laid the case before the command
ING general, who, upon examination of
the paper ordered rations issued, but
was informed that no more rationS would
be issued on like papers, and suggested
that a proper form and better language
be used in future, such rs might be
found in form books. and in Webster 5
dictionary, a copy of which he advised
the old gentleman to secure. On the
following day Old Copper received a
note from Gen. Smithens, requesting the
loan of a sitter, whereupon Copper sent
back the following note by his cook:
Gen. Smithens;
Dear sr-Your note received requesting the
loan of sitter. find by consulting Webster's
dictionary that II sitter is 'one who Sits, and
hereby send you Green Deshn, colored boy
who does my cooking and sitting. ] can recon-
mend him Us good sitter, and hope he may
please you. Should you ut any time wish the
loan of sieve, which, according to Webster, II
ian implement used in sitting" | shall be hap
py to accommodate you. Yours obedicntly,
Copperbottom.
Gen. Smithens returned the following
note by Green:
| hereby return your sitter. Send me tho
seive In future make out your acquisitions
for ratiOns in any form or IN any ID len
guage known under the sun, and you will gel
your rations.
(Signed) Gen. Smthens.

How the Jersey" Was Invented.

One of the most charming and admir-
ed actresses in London helped invent the
"iersey.h Her companion in invention is
the wife of an Irish peer. One day the
actress, Miss H.. with her maid called
upon my lady they are great friends)
and carried with hera pair of tights she
had Just bought to wear as ''Rosalind'
in LAS You Like It," Miss II. pulled
part of the elastic silk goods across
Lady BIS beautiful arm and said: "Oh,
if one could get II corsage to fit like
thatn'
LET me have them q moment" ex.
claimed Lady B.
She drew the tights around her should
ers. Miss II. pinned them to her dress,
and there at that moment was born the
inspiration of the jersey we all wear
and never tire Of Lady b. S broughan
was called She and Miss II. drove
hastily to the theatrical costumers, or
dered another pair of tights rs the ma
terial could not be bought The skirt
and train from Paris was used; not sc
the corsage. Lady BIS maid run it to-
gether-it was literally sewn on. and
never did costume excite so much adj
miraton and curiosity as this symphony
in gray velvet and satin, with the mar
velously fitting corsage. No woman
knew how the corsage was gotten into.
There was no sight or even hint of fast
ening No one thought of the elastic
silk material. Little by little Lady b.
and Miss II. perfected the jersey, and
wore it quite three months before any
one caught tho idea. Then n promin-
ent Bond street milliner discovered it
and charged from thirty to fifty guineas
for them. Mrs. Langtry was among
her first customers, but she did not wear

is an old saying by horsemen, keep the
feet and legs in order, and the body will
take care of itself" The legs, from
the knees and hooks down. should be hand
rubbed, so that friction will create insen-
sible perspiration which will tend to pre-
vent leg swelling, stiff joints, contracted
tendons, and sprung knees. When the
legs are fevered from overdriving, they
should be bandaged with wet cloths, to
take away the heat and prevent wind gals,
which are eye-sores, and which, without
materially diminishing his capacity for
labor, affect the market value of the
horse.

There is discussion going on in Euro
pean papers upon the question of the eff
fects of freezing upon the flavor of meat,
which appears TO show that even the de-
velopment of flavo: is arrested and kept
in abeyance by the congelation. If frozen
at once after being slaughtered it is devoid
of flavor Immediately on being thawed,
but "ripens' in the same time and manner
when liberated from the freezing as if it
never had been frozen. Aside from this
non-injury, there is the positive advantage,
well understood in our Northern States
and Canada, of a decided effect of freezing
in increasing tenderness.

operate than a grain growing or mixed
agriculture second. the annual returns
average little more than other branches
third, prices are more nearly uniform
fourth, dairying exhausts the soil less :;
fifth. it is more secure against changes in
the season, since the dairyman does not
suffer SO much from wet and frost and
varying seasons, and he can, if prudent.
protect against drought.
