Gen. Lee on Frankness.

A letter of Gen. Lee to his son, writ,
ten in 1862, has just been given to the
public. in which he %discourses on the
value of frankness:
I am just in the act of leaving home
for New Mexico. Ny fine old regimen,
has been ordered to that distant re.
gion, and L must hasten to see that
they are properly taken care Of. I have
but little to add in reply to your letters
of March 26, ~ and %. Your letters
breathed a true spirit of frankness; they
have already given myself and your
mother great pleasure. You must
study to be frank with the world; frank.
ness is the child of honesty and courage.
Say what you mean to do on every &C.
c%asion. and take it for granted you mean
TODD right. TIA friend asks O favor YOU
should grant it if it is reasonable; d
not, tell him plainly why you cannot;
you will wrong him and yourself by
equivocation of any kind. Never do
a wrong thing to make a friend or to
keep one; the man who requires you to
do so is dearly bought at a sacrifice.
Deal kindly but firmly with your class
mates; you will find it the policy which
wears best. Above all do not appear to
others what you are not. II you have
any fault to find with any one, tell him,
not others, of what you complain; there
is no more dangerous experiment than
that of undertaking to be one thing be-
fore a mans face and another behind
his back. We should live, act and say
nothing to the injury of any one. It is
not only best as o matter of principle,
but it is the path to peace and honor.

In Summer, Remember

l. That infectious diseases generally
are due to filth in some form-most Of
them directly to diverse kinds of micro
scopic plants (bacteria) which gain en-
trance into the system through the lungs
or the stomach. Invading the wonder
full laboratories of life,-the infnites-
imal cells,-they disorganize these just
as the yeast-plants, multiplying to
countless millions, disorganize every
particle of the dough-or would do SO,
If not themselves killed by the heat OF
the oven.
2. Remember that the best preserva-
tive against them is high health, which
either digests them in the stomach, or
repels them from gaining a foothold,
and eliminates them from the system.
3. Remember that the next best pre-
servative against Infectious diseases is q
free and strong circulation of pure air
through the house from cellar to attic.
The danger is when large numbers of
bacteria gain admittance. There is
slight probability that a foothold will
be gained by these invaders when their
number is comparatively few.
4. Remember that in u cities and
large towns the sewers, constantly re-
ceiving the excreta of the sick, are
free from infectious bacteria; that these
readily pass up into dwellings through
every open connecting pipe; that these
pipes should be kept closed when not in
use; and that they should, in no case,
enter q sleeping-room but into a we'll
ventilated water-closet.
5. Remember that, in the country,
wells are dangerous when they are
within n hundred feet of q privy or
cesspool.
s. Remember that while boiling may
purify infected water, mere iltering
never renders it safe.
Z. Remember all water-closets, cess
pools, etc, should be frequently dis
infected, copperas (sulphate of iron) be-
ing a good and cheap disinfectant for
the purpose.
8. That q deodorizer is not neces-
sarily q d~isinfectant. We may kill a
bad smell, and not kill the bacteria.

THE KILKENNY STORY

The story has been 50 long cur.
rent that it has become a proverb,
"As quarrelsome as the Kilkenny
cats" two of the cats in which city
are asserted to have fought so long
and so furiously that naught was
found Of them but two tails. The
correct version of this saying is
this:
During the rebellion which oc,
Cured in Ireland in 1898, Kilkenny
was garrisoned by a regiment OF
Hessian soldiers, whose custom it
was to tie together in one of their
barrack rooms two cats by their
respective tails, and then throw
them face to face across a line gen
orally used for drying clothes. The
cats naturally became infuriated
and scratched each other in the
abdomen until death ensued to one
or both of them. The officers were
made acquainted with the bsrba.

The cats escaped through the open

officer, who inquired what was the
cause of the bleeding cats tails

was told in reply that "two cats

''Let the wave-song of Beauty be sung

AS she filings her white arms with a

On the death of the shore-that no

"Sweep over us sea-born the swell OF
thy sway,
For the songs that we sing are the per
fume of play.
And the resonant breezes, like music

Are waiting our spirits forever away.
And earth in its langnor half closes its

For hours are but cloud-drifts that

And love is a vision, and life is lie,

LINCOLN TO A BORROWER.

An old letter from Abraham Lin
coin to a "shiftless'' brother has
been made public. The strong
common sense of it makes it good
reading for everybody, especially
for those like him to whom it was
addressed in such firm, yet kindly
tone:-- ~
Dear Johnston:-- Your request
for $50 I do not think it best TO
comply with just now. At the var
ious times when l have helped you
little you have said to me, 1--WE
can get along very we'll now but
in short time l find you in the
same difficulty again. Now this
can only happen by some defect in
your conduct. What the defect is
l think know. You are not lazy,
and still you are an idler. I doubt
whether, since l saw you, you have
done good whole days work in
any one day. You do not very
much dislike to work, and still you
do not work much, merely because
it does not seem to you that you
could get much for it. This habit
of uselesly wasting your time is the
whole difficulty, and it is vastly i'm
portant to you, and still more to
your children, that you should
break this habit. 1t is more i'm.
portant to them, because they
have longer to live and can
keep out Of an idle habit before
they are in it easier than they can
get out after they are in.
You are now in need Of some
ready money, and what l propose
is that you shall 60 to work, s'tooth
and nail" for somebody who will
give you money for it. Let father
and your boys have charge of things
at home-perpare for a crop and
make crop-and YOU 60 to work
for the best money wages, or in
discharge of any debt you owe,
that you can get. And to secure
you a fair reward for your labor
| now promise you that every dol
lar you will, between now and the
first of May, get for your labor,
either in money or on your own in
debtedness, 1 will give you one
other dollar. By this, if you hire
yourself at $40 = month, from me
you will get $40 more, making $50
a month, for your work. In this l
do not mean you shall 60 off to St.
Louis, or the loaded mines, or gold
mines in California, but mean for
you to go at it for the best wages
you can get close to home--in Coles
County. Now, if you will do this
you will soon be out Of debt, and,
what is better, you will have a bab-
it that will keep you from getting
in debt again. But if l should now
clear you, next year You will be
just as deep in as ever. You say
you would almost give your place
in heaven for $40 or $50. Then
you value your place in heaven
very cheap, for l am sure you can,
with the offer l made you, get the
$40 or $50 with four or FIVE months
work. You say if l furnish you
the money you will decd me the
land, and if you don't pay the mon-
ey back, you will deliver possession.
Nonsense If you cannot now live
with land, how will you then live
without it? You have always been
kind to me, and l do not now mean
to be unkind to you. On the con-
trary, if you will but follow my ad-
vice you will find it worth more
than eighty times $50 to you.
Affectionately, your brother.
A. LINCOLN.
