HAMMoCKS VS.. BEDS
Advantages OF the South American
Sleeping Arrangement.

Sleeping Arrangement.
Beds are occupied night after night
year after year, by divers persons in sick
ness and in health, in summers heat and
winters cold, and as to when bedding is
remade and purified, each one can Judge
by his own experience. Compare this
with the use Of the South American
hammock, which requires only a stout
blanket inside, and in winter woollen
sleeping dress as we'll of suitable make,
/. e., drawers, socks and loose Jacket, ali
periodically washable. The sanitary differ
ence becomes at once startling to those who
have never considered the subject before.
The South American hammock is made of
the fbres of the young leaves Of the tia
palm, so woven that II yields to every
movement and projection of the body in
every direction, except lengthways, in
which direction the weight Of the body es-
tablishes its own support, the same as In
chairs with the loose canvas backs. Ham
mocks are very easy to get into and out Of,
and one cannot fall out of them when
alseep. They should be swung the same
distance from the ground as the seat of
chair. They form an excellent seat. Sitting
down, one draws tho back of the hammock
up as high as one may desire. The proper
way to get into hammock-for there Is
then throw the legs up and the back down,
wrapping yourself up in its soft, elastic
and ample folds The best way to lie is
crossways. The position can be varied
in three or four ways. The writer has
passed several nights in such hammock
and blanket, exposed to the damps Of a
South American forest and risen perhaps
more refreshed than if he had slept in
bed. For bedridden people their use would
be invaluable. Those who have been con-
fined to q bed or water-bed for three or four
months know how fatiguing and disgust
ing they become. In many cases In hos
pitfalls such hammocks would BIO real sani-
tary appliances. The hammock have
comes from the Essequibo Indians in
British Guinea. do not know why a
similar mode of open weaving (more like
knitting, without the knott of some ma

rush used in rush bottomed chairs could
not be managed in this country.-[ London

Grant and HI. Troops.

From an aDecdotal and reminiscent article
on Grant by General Badeau, in the May
Century is quoted the following: ellis rela-
tions with the troops were peculiar. He
never made speeches to the soldiers and of
course never led them himself into battle
after he assumed his high commands But
in every battle they saw him certainly
once or twice far to the front, as exposed
as they; for there always seemed to come a
time in each engagement whom he was un.
willing to use the eyes or ears of another,
but must observe for himself in order to
determine. The soldiers saw all this; they
knew, too, that when he rode around in
camp II meant action, and the sight of his
blue oveTcoat, exactly like their own, was
a signal to prepare for battle. They found
out his character and respected his qualities.
They felt that he meant well, although
when the time came he spared them
not, for the cause. Thus, though so
undemonstTative, he awoke a genuine
enthusiasm. After the battle OF the
Wilderness he rode at night along the
road where Hancock's veterans lay, and
when the men discovered 1t was Grant, and
that his face was turned toward Richmond,
they knew in moment they were not to
retire across the Rapdan as so often before;
and they rose in the darkness and cheered
until the enemy thought it was a night
attack and came out and opened fire. When
the works were carried at Petersburg their
enthusiasm was, of course, unbounded; and
whenever they caught glimpse of him in
the Appomattox campaign, the cheers were
vociferOus. After the surrender of Leo
they began without orders TO salute him
with cannon, but he directed the firing to
cease lest II should wound tho feelings of
the prisoners, who, he said, were once again
our cOuntrymen,
"This sentiment he retained. Soon after
the close Of the war / was present when a
committee of Congress, headed by Charles
Sumner, waited on him to propose that a
picture should be painted of the surrender
Of Leo 10 DO placed in tho rotunda Of the
Capitol. But he told them he should never
consent, so far as he was concerned, to any
picture being placed in the Capitol to COM
memorate victory in which our own
countrymen were the losors."
