and is called upon to associate with peo-
pie who have plenty of money. As a
natural result he soon becomes involved
financially. A man who feels the sharp
pressure of debt cannot always afford
the luxury of indulging in the
most rigid ideas of what is strictly
honorable. None of them have any
better pay than the department
clerks and bureau chiefs. Yet these Of
ficers live at the best hotels as a general
thing, have carriages, dress well and
are seen everywhere. The department
clerks, who have equal salaries live in the
back rooms of cheap boarding-houses.

that is if he is mounted. An unmounted
first lieutenant gets 81, 500. A captain
not mounted is paid 81 800. A captain
mounted has $4,000. 1t will be seen
that up to the grade of captain officers
rank with the department clerks 30 far
as salary goes. When you get above
captain you strike the salaries paid to
the chiefs of bureaus. A major is paid
1900; a lieutenant-colonel, $1,000; a
colonel, $500. It is only when YOU
reach the rank of brigadier-general that
the pay of a Senator or member is
reached. A brigadier-general is paid
$500. A major-general 81, 500, and a
acknowledgement $11, 600 per annum.

Shall VIC Sleep With Open windowsa

This question introduces a subject
upon which there is a diversity of
opinion, both among medical practi-
TONERS and individuals. 81 have no
bad colds since l learned to sleep with
my window open" remarked a gentle
man in the office of the madical and sur
gical reporter the other day. In reply,
the editor says that the only 'hard
colds" he ever suffered from were con-
tracted by sleeping in rooms to which
the night air had free access. The edi-
tor adds that it is we'll known that the
bodily temperature sinks slightly dur
ing sleep: the physiological functions
act with diminished activity and hence
the resistance of the economy to morbi-
fc influences is proportionately lessen
ed. But it is also well known that at night
these influences are more potent and
noxious. The air is charged with great
er humidity; miasmetic and malarial
poisons rise to higher levels and extend
with greater rapidity; the chill of the
damp night air is penetrating and dan
gerous the emanations from organic de-
cay are more perceptible. Against these
the sleeper is less protected than in the
daytime. He has Invested himself of
his wooden external clothing to put on
cotton or linen, and lies between sheets
of the same material, between which, at
the tops and sides of the bed, the air
gains ready access to his unprotected
surface. If he is restless, he renders
such access yet more easy. A greater
risk awaits him. A sudden fall in
allure at night is no unusual occurrence.

AYoung Girls Good Taste.

A Lady in New York Mail.
A well cooked meal served on q poor
ly set table is like gingerbread with the
spice left out. Say as you will, eat
ables taste better out of pretty dishes;
but to be pretty, it is not necessary that
they should be expensive. A lady was
once visiting q family whose means
were somewhat straitened, yet through
the dizziness and ingenuity of one of
the daughters busy fingers, their home
always possessed q cosy prettiness pc
c~uliarly it's own.
"My DEAR" said the lady, / was
never so much surprised as when
Hattie explained to me the mo-
dus operandi of some of her home
achievements. Why! the chair L was
sitting on, such IN easy one, with just
the right hollow for your back, was
made out of a -four barrel. Her brother
did the carpentry and she the uphol-
stery. Old fashioned lowered chintz,
too lovely for anything. And then the
lunch. 1 don't mean the eatables,
which were very simple, but deliciously

what the center-piece for the table was
composed of. As pretty a flower or
nament as 1 ever saw that girl had man
ufactured out of an old cruet-stand and
a pie plate. Positively! The cruet-
stand was set upon the tin plate, then the
whole covered with this luscious green
moss, excepting, of course, the handle
around which were twined, so as to con-
ceal the plating, some creeping vines.
Nesting amid the moss were half blown
roses and buds, while feathery ferns
trembled gracefully at each passing
breeze. There, you see, 1 am getting
quite poetic over it, and no wonder, for
really that house is the abode of poesy.
1t was summer time, and they have a
lovely garden, or they could not have
afforded the flowers, of course; but I
assure you, before my visit ended,I
should not have doubted Hattie if
she had informed me she could trans
form a teakettle into a lovely parlor or
nsment.

Sweet Corn Better than Sorghum.

S"SSe SSAn eAon 9o1S ILL
The planting of sorghum for stock is
again recommended in the agricultural
papers; but after several years cultivat-
ing I have given it up for this purpose,
much preferring sweet corn. The OBJ
lection [ found was, the stalks are SO
hard and tough that cattle will not eat
any part except about two feet of the
top, whereas they eat every particle of
the sorts of sweet corn I raise for them,
the stalks being three-qnarters of an
inch in diameter at the butts, and 5 to
feet tall. If the sorghum could be
first crushed by passing through heavy
rollers, as is done when the juice is to
be made into syrup and sugar, the stalks
might be made tender enough for cattle
fodder; but to pass them through a corn
stalk cutter would he of little benefit, as
the pieces, however shortcut would
be still sharp at the edges, hard to
chew, and still harder to digest. I be-
lieve there is a great future for sorghum
throughout all our climates for making
a superior quality of syrup, and per-
haps also of sugar when the process of
granulation becomes perfected, which I
suppose chemists will be able to accom-
plish in time. Sorghum has one merit
over corn-its roots penetrate the soil
more deeply, and this enables it to bear
a drouth better. and particularly in
light gravelly and sandy soils. If any
one has had a more favorable expert
ence in making it acceptable fodder for
stock than I give above, Ishall be glad
to hear from him.-A. B. Allen.

In summer q thunder gust. in win
ter a shift of the wind to the north, often
reduces the temperature ten to twenty
degrees. The sleeper is unaware of this.
He remains exposed to it with no further
protection than he found agreeable at
the higher temperature, until he awakes
chilled and stiff, perhaps with the seeds
of serious illness already sown. These
are such positive and unavoidable risks
that we should counsel a delicate per-
son to be exceedingly cautious how he
ventured on the plan of open windows
at night, however much has been said
in its favor by popular hygienists.

"tBut it's pretty hard to have to work
for him, isn't it? asked Miss SnIper,

asking such a thing.
"But Annie only smiled. Il consider
myself fortunate to be able to earn such
good wages, she says, 'n'then she walked

your property, and go to some other
region where r~ose-colored letters are
written from by bold spectators, and
where the country never keeps half
pace with Iowa IN production, prosper
ity and population.
There will this spring probably be
stampedes from the best States in the
Union to Oklahoma and the two Indian
reservations just brought into market
in Dakota, south of Pierre. In either
case, in two years they will wish they
were back at their old homes.
Stay in Iowa, and prepare your
farms by evergreen wind breaks, and
~fast-growing groves for fuel, and pro-
vide cheap but warm and comfortable
stock barns and sheds. Then when
winter ome you have wood on your
farm, and your stock and food where
you can take care of them in comfort
to yourselves, with an increased profit
on the stock. This is not a hard
question to solve. There is no need
of facing suffering in Iowa billiards..
They a be provided against. Then
stay home with your family through
the winter, which ought to be the
happiest place in this world, and the
most profitable place for any farmer
in or out of Iowa.-Des Moines Register.

Handsome nIantel Lambrequins and Hat
Crowns.

CroWuS.
A handsome lambrequ1n which I am
making is of crimson velvet. For a
mantel two yards long take one yard of
velvet and cut in two lengthwise; fold
one of these pieces in half and cut,
making two strips one-half yard long,
and another one yard in length. The
short pieces are tackled around the ends
of the shelf, then tack the longer strip
also. Pleat one end of the long piece
and fasten it up to the shelf I'M
der a handsome bow of ribbon.
This Grapes the center strip quite
gracefully; place another bow of rib
bon at the other end of it and trim
all the lower edges with crescents and
tassels. One of the smaller pieces
paint in Kensington painting a spray of
pansies, and the other carnations; the
long strip has a large, graceful spray of
Virginia creeper. Hat crowns, so much
in vogue now ARE very easilymade. Take
one-th1rd of a yard of satin, cut the
fiat piece from corner. then divide
the remainder into two strips and pleat
around it(the material should be on the
bias. Ihave both painted and en-
broidered them. One, painted on gray
satin, was a wreath of pink, blue and
yellow daises, with the initial in guilt.
1 painted the same design on pale-blue
satin, and embroidered in chenille on
crimson and on dark blue. Another
n on pale-blue, was a spray of peoples
and wheat. A pretty design for an old
gold lining is a wreath of pansies.
