eaten. Never eat after you have enough
Don't eat anything just to save tit is
costly economy.
About drinking, no two persons
sgree, but it is we'll to avoid brandy,
rum, whiskey and all strong alcoholic
drinks.' Soda water, ginger ale and light
wines may be taken with less detriment,
while iced milk, iced tea, iced coffee and
iced lemonade are the most wholesome.
Drinking should be regulated by ones
thirst just as eating is bY the appetite.
If you are thirsty, drink, II not, don't
crowd your stomach iast because a
friend asks you to ''haye something
1t is not we'll to drink too much at a
time or upon an empty stomach. When
suffering from continuous thirst single
swallow Of cold water held for = mo-
ment in the mouth beiase swallo wing
will do more good than ID brink : cupful.
This can be repeated "a frequent as the
thirst demands without dSfng harm. TO
drink = cupful each tItae crowds the
stomach and increases year discomfort:
A lemon squeezed In half . glass OF
water and drank without: sugar will Of
ten allay thirst, snd tsken night and
morning is an almost SUR preventative
Of malaria.
Dress neatly and let. your collars and
cuffs be always fresh and unsoiled. A
lady once wrote in the writers album
''the consciousness Of beiAs we'll dressed
affords peace Of mind aud serenity iot
soul that religion can never give"
Without going quite this far there is no
questioning the fact that neat dressing
improves ones feelings. Don't spend
yonr time looking 1t the thermometer
and talking about tho wesshcr: the less
you think and say about the weather
the better for you. Some people can't
stay in the room with thermometer
without one or the other boiling over,
SO let the signal officer take your OBJ
servation for you. He is paid to do it,
and takes special pride in the achieve
ments Of the mercury at either end OF
the tube. Don't mop, your face and
hands with your handkerchief. You NAV
irritate the surface and increase your
discomfort each time. Don't encourage
conversations on tho wsather, and un-
der no circumstances answer . man who
asks ''is 1t hot enough for you 2" We
believe in uniform courtesy, but you
are perfectly excusable for snubbing q
person who would ask .snch thread

Of the intervening distance to the turn
ing boat had been covered had caught
upto and passed Miss St. Clair. Her
long, steady stroke was beginning to tell
and brought her closer and closer to the

crowd called on their favorite to spurt

snd Miss Murray responded by again
widening tho gap between them. A mo-
ment later, however, and Miss Clayton's
long strokes brought her again beside
the leader, and at the cheering of the
crowd both young ladies responded by a
fine spurt that keptthem head and head
for several yards. Neither seemed to
gain on the other, when suddenly the
crowds favorite, Miss Murray, turned
pale and with gasp sank from view.
Almost instantly boat was over the
spot where she had sunk, and ready
hands grasped her firmly when she reap
peared and drew her aboard in dead
faint.
During the excitement that this pro-
duced Miss Claytos, who had stopped to

Miss Clayton and Miss St. Clair. almost

started on the return, Miss Brooks max

Miss Clsyton's even strokes soon placed
her safely out Of reach Of Miss St Clair,

Grants Genius.

1t has been said that, Grant had no
genius; that is, no intuition by which.
to discover great fact or to lay out for
himselfa new and great course Of action.
l have said that his mind was not iuven.
tive. but do know. of one course OF
conduct adopted by him, an emanation
from his own mind, for, 30 far as have
read in history. it was never before in
that form adopted by any great con-
mander, and IL certainly was not done
by any other general in our war. II did
not emanats from the Secretary Of war
or the President so far as have any
knowledge or suspicion, and was ex.
planned to myself by, Grant, Who had
just then been made Geuersl.in- Chief
Of the armies, and came to Fort Monroe
to explain the plan Of the failure cam.
Pa'gn against the enemy, 40 far as I
WAS to have part With them, in Virginia
in April, 1854
His proposition was that the enemy
should be conquered by continual attsi.
ton and inffiictine loss in every way and
wearing out their resources as fast as
possible and at however great cost, rely
ing upon our own more abundant money
and men to bring out successful result.
He said that he would attack the enemy
It all times and under ali conditions, ev-
en- At the risk of losing more men than
they did. ss We could afford to lose more;
and IS the rate Of death by disease and
h.rdships INCIDENT to camp life was far
greater than the loss Of men by bullet
and she'll, he thought upon the whole,
that If the wal. could pressed on sad
ended shortly the loss Of life would be
less, and the expenses. would certainly
be less than those Of longer continued
war. He said. further, that the enemy,
occupying the interior lines Of defenses,
could hold on with less men than We
must use and that we must lose more
than they would in driving them from
their defenses, bpt they could not re.
trieve their losses g; We could ours.
He spoke to me, ss Commissions sof
Exchange Of Prisoners. He said Ihss
every Confederate held by US was lsssS
man less to them, while, even il wes ~
changed, We should not get one ms :
meet the one We gave, because
men were in good condition and S
at once to go back into the Asld, Wkst6:
our men. were in t,uch . condition =
it would take months for them 70 =
perate no As to come back, If; they Si5 q
did come back into our rrmies. H
he suggested to me not to,-rsfdsss ~
exchange Of prisoners, but to 10 ss llisj 4;
bsrrass the operation % only to 80
change the sick and wounded of Aal
sides, and TO- that policy no adhered
throughout the campaign Of 1864.
This course taken by him put an end
to the rebellion. and he held to it until.
in the spring Of 1866, Lee had neither
men no. rstions to feed them upon. nor
could the Confederates supply him with
either, and then came Appoma+ox and
the conclusion Of the war.
This seemed to me then . stroke OF
genius, but it required ;saamantine nerve
and iron will 70 carry it ouE-B. II.

SKIPPED OUT.
seven Prisoners Escape from the
ogden City Jail.

During last night seven OF the Migrants
confined in the cells on the second floor
of the iail in this city effected their escape
bv working their way through the ceiling
Of the cell and then through the root,
letting themselves down by means OF
blankets knotted together. While the
operations were going on, those who were
not engaged in the work OF making the
hole through which they escaped, made
an awful noise, singing and dancing so
that the janitor should not hear what
they were doing. The janitor says he
suspected there was something unusual
going on, and looked into the Council
Chamber several times, thinking they
might probably try to break through the
floor and escape that way, as they were
in a cell Immediately above. And he
also watched the ventilator in the hall by
the marshal's office, supposing they
might try to make their escape by that
means. But these birds of the Jail chose
another route. Out of those who have
escaped three were undergoing their term
of imprisonment, and four were new ar
rivals, who were only incarcerated last
evening. -Ogden Herald, 3Oth.

A FRAUD AND A SNARE.

Casting His Net for Victims

Copies of the following circular have
recently been received by gentlemen III
this city. There is no signature append
ed to the letter, but accompanying 1t is a
memorandum or small slip OF paper
"H. Magood, No. 1O3 West Thirty-Fourth

The exact object of the sender is of course
a mystery, but it would appear upon Its
face to be scheme to extOrt money from

"Dear .Sir:-I learned of your name

sequences might be, and, if | have done

bear in mind one thing, this is no enemy
who is writing this letter to you, and no
trap set for you. My principles are as
true to you as the sun that shines, and
promise you this before heaven and earth.
Now, you may need my assistance in
some manner, and you may think | am
trying to harm you, but so help me

FULLER'S HILL.
May Day Opening of the Popular
Pleasure Resort.

Fuller's Hill has long been known as
one of the best located resorts about the
city, and by judicious advertising the
May day opening was well known and
anxiously awaited. Nor were the expect,
atoms in any way disappointed. From
an early hour this morning vast crowds of
pleasure seekers thronged the shady,
hooks and walks on recreation bent. A
new feature in the shape of circular
boat has recently been added to the at
fractions of the place, and this received
extensive patronage on the part
OF the young people. The swings.
shooting gallery, camera obscura, and
other attractions were also we'll remem-
bered, the difficulty being to get chance
at them on account of the immense
crowds. The refreshment counters were
largely patronized. Oceans of soda
water and 'pop" went sparkling down
thirsty Threats; gallons of ice cream
vanished. Although difficult to estimate
with any degree of accuracy, it is sup
posed that nearly one thousand people
visited the place during the course of the
day. We predict large run OF business
Tor the place during the season.
