Of his sacks upon the nest. A fight at

Sanguine Gnts which he had turned loose
upon them. Then the vanguard of the
Amazons came up, but when they saw
hat the sangunies were already on the

approach of the main army. In close
order this main army then preciptated
itself upon the already struggling hosts of
Sanguine ants. The latter, however,

retired to reform. This done they made

TIE USE OF LEMoNs.-There are three
ways of making lemonade: To squeeze
the Juice into cold water-this is the short
est way or to cut it in slices or let it soak
in co d water; or to cut in slices and then
boil it. Lemonade is one of the best and
safest drinks for person. whether in
health or not. 1t is suitable to all stomach
diseases; is excellent in sickness. The
pips, crushed may also be mixed with su-
gar and water, and used as u drink. We
advise every one to rub the gums daily
with lemon juice to keep them in health,
The hands and nails are also kept clean
white, soft and supple by the daily use of
lemon instead of soap. II also prevents
chilplains. Lemon is used in intermittent
fevers mixed with strong, hot black coffee
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rabbing the part affected with cut LEM
on. 1t is valuable, also,to cure warts, and
destrop dandruff on the head by rubbing
the roots of the hair with it.

THE BOYS IN BLUEARE TURNING GRAY


The boys in blue are turning gray;
Thin grow our ranks, and thinner;
We played deaths game full many day;
But death to-day is winner.
Mid whistling shot and screaming SHE'LL
Where stoutest hearts must CULVER,
Facing the batteries belching hell
Some crossed deaths silent river
Some mangled, moaned with tortured breath
Till death in mercy freed them;
In prison pen ne starved to death,
With only foes to heed them.
And some Gods country gained at last
Died mid the dear home faces.
OF limbs torn off by war'sifercs blast,
These empty sleeves are traces.
We list no more the shrieking shell,
No more the bullets rattle;
But comrades fall while tolls the bell.
As once they fell in battle
Then close the ranks as years roll on.
As lfes dim sun grows colder;
Face death to come as death that's gone,
With shoulder firm to shoulder
What though above our wasting ranks
No battle flag is cleaning,
Gods red and white in morning lizht
Ger Heavens vault is streaming
Though scant the must ter roll below,
Above tits growing longer;
Though faint on earth our voices grow.
In Heaven they'll swell the stronger.

Some statistcian has discovered that of
thousand well to do persons and another
thousand of poor persons there remained
alive after i've years, of the prosperous 943
of the poor only G55. After fifty years
there remained of the prosperous 55S OF
the poor 1888. At seventy years ofage there
remained 235 of the prosperous and of the
poor 60. This was as far as the calculator
got, but from his dedl ctions it is evident
that it is safer TO be successful than un-
successful; you not only can en- Joy life
better but longer; lucre and luck ensures
longevity; disaster is early death.

In certain manufacturing town an
employer one Saturday night paid his
workmen 500 in crisp new bills that had
been secretly marked. On Monday $3.50
of those identical new bills were deposit

the fact was M tde known the workmen
were so startled by it that they helped to

if the saloons did not take in so much of
their wages If they would organize an d

the results to be better than increase of
wages, and to include an increase of say
