Untrustworthiness of History.

In recent paper on Lord Timothy Dexter,
Mr.. William Cleaves Todd, Of Newburyport,
disposes of the tales of Dexter's sending warm
ing pans and English Bibles to the West
Indies. In Illustration of the untrustworthi-
ness of history, Mr.. Todd cites Professor J.
D. Butler, of Madison, Wis, whose grand
father, an eye Witness often told him, In re-
gard to Ethan Aliens "in the name of the
great Jehovah and the Continental congress"
that what the surprised commanders at Ticon-
deroga actually heard was: "Come out of
here, you id old rat" This matches

stonewan Jackson,s peculiarities.


'Do you know" said Gen. Rosser, the Con-
federate cavalry leader, "that Gen. jackson
had a number of very remarkable idiosyn-
crasies, and they were SO peculiar as to G I
vince some people that he was insane? But
if we had had more such crazy men in the
Confederate army it would have been better
for Us.
"For example, Gen. Jackson had an idea
that one side of his body was heavier than
the other 1t was his right side, and he used
to carry weights on his left to make up the
difference. Once, when he was president of
the Military institute of Virginia, he went up
to a water cure near Oswego, N. Y, to be
treated for the complaint, and when the
doctor told him it was nothing but magma
ton he became indignant, said he was not
child to be humhugged, and started home
He saw no end of physicians about it, and
although they all told him the same thing, it
didn't make the slightest difference, and he
went on under the delusion till he died"
"Another thing that was peculiar about
Jackson said Gen. Maury, twas his intense
abstraction. When he was thinking on any
subject nothing could disturb him or distract
his thoughts He sat for hours sometimes,
with his eyes fixed on some distant object,
scarcely moving muscle, aosolulely aD-
sorbed; and the boys used to say that the old
man was in trance. He believed in inspira-
ton, and that at these times he gathered
knowledge and wisdom from on high. But
his habitual condition was abstraction, both
before and during thu war When he walked
his eyes would be straight before him, and he
would not hear any sound that was made or
see any object on either side. One day while
he was president of the college the students
decided to make test of the old mans alb
sent-mindedness, and, getting brick, took it
to a room that looked out on the walk where
he usually exercised in the afternoon. Pretty
soon the general came along and the boys
dropped the brick on the pavement directly
in front of him. But he not only did not
dodge, but apparently did not notice that
anything unusual had occurred. He might
have thought leaf had fallen, if he thought
at al."-Chicago News.

Consult the Patients Stomach in Pref
ercnce to His Cravings.
l. That there is any nutriment in beef tea
made from extracts. There is none what
ever.
2. That gelatine is nutritious. 1t will not
keep cat alive. Beef tea and gelatine, how
ever, possess certain reparative power, we
know not what.
5. That an egg is equal to pound OF meat,
and that every sick person can eat eggs
Many, especially those of nervous or bilious
temperament, cannot eat them; and to such
eggs are injurious.
4 That, because milk is an Important art1-
Gle of food, it must be forced upon patient.
Food that person cannot endure Will not
cure.
5. That arrowroot is nutritiSus. 1t is
simply starch and water, useful as a restora-
tive, quickly prepared.
g. That cheese is injurious in all cases. 1t
is, as rule, contra-in indicated, being usodiiy
indigestible; but it is concentrated nutrl-
ment anda waste repairer, and often crayed.
Z. That the cravings of a patient are Whlms,
and should be denied The stomach often
needs. Graves for and digests articles not laid
down in any dietary. Such are, for example,
fruit, pickles, jams, cake, ham or bacon with
fat, cheese, butter and milk
8. That an inhexible diet may be marked
out, which shall apply to every case. Choice
of given list of articles allowable in given
case must be decided by the opinion OF the
stomach. The stomach is right and theory
wrong, and the Judgment admits no appeal.
A diet which would keep healthy man
healthy might kill sick man, and diet
sufficient to sustain sick man would not
keep well man alive. Increased quantity
of food, especially of liquids, does not mean
increased nutriment, rather decrease, since
the digestion is overtaxed and weakened.
Strive to give the food in as concentrated
form as possible. Consult the patients
stomach in preference to his cravings, and if
the stomach rejects certain article do not
force it-Journal of Reconstructives.

ITS Your Deal. "


Col. Wolfe, of Indiana, told an amusing
incident that had occurred between himself
and Gen. Hatch on a recent meeting The
last time the pair had met was in Tennessee,
near Memphis, at the early part of the war.
Hatch was in the regular service, and Wolfe
a volunteer officer On the night in ques-
ton some movements were in operation and
orders were coming in thick and fast. To
while away the tedium of the time, the two
officers sat down to a game of poker in
log cabin which they occupied as head
quarters The play was interrupted by the
arrival of frequent orderlies, who were
promptly attended to, and then the game
proceeded. After a while, however, order
lies began to come in at both doors,
and the situation grew critical Maj.
Hatch started to his feet with
the exclamation, ''Wolfe this thing
is getting too hoti Mind, It's your deal"
and, leaving cards and stakes on the table,
he hurried from the hovel and mounted his
horse. A few days ago the narrator Of the
story entered the Brettum house, in Win
6eld, and, handing his gripsack to the clerk,
waited the movements of gray headed gen.
tIeman in order to place his autograph on
the register. The former, having entered
his name, handed the pen to the Indianian;
their eyes met, and recognition was mutual.
''Hello, Hatch, said the ex-volunteer officer,
''who would have thought OF seeing you
herer' A twinkle came to the eyes of the
veteran addressed, and. extending ais hand
he dryly remarked: ''Wolfe, it's your dealP'
A quarter of a century had elapsed since
that unfinished game of poker, and since
that night in the negro quarters till the &C
cidental meeting in the hotel at Winfield
they had not seen each other.

bridegroom expectant.
'tWell, wouldn't climb those stairs this
sweltering afternoon for less than $1O,n
said the perspiring justice. IF you have q
mind to pay that much, all right; but I'd
advise you to take 80 ceremony right here
in the office. It will tie you just as tight as
the $40 wedding in the dome"

fundamentally inclined young man.
HWhy, I say save the 50 every time" said

with tramways where the ground is suitable
for such a mode of conveyance, but the cir
cumstances under which its advantages are
apparent are:
Where the ground il very rough, uneven
