j PINcKNEY HENDERSON,


This command did proceed to Austip.
and became famous under Col. JACK
Hays, whose sign manuel appears under
orders to the company frequently in the
papers accompanying the letters referred
to, giving orders for stores and other
commands relating to the invasion OF the
halls of the Montrzumas. The officers
are noted on the back ol this letter, and
apparently In the hand write OF Capt u
M Daggett, and are as follows: Isaac
Ferguson, captain, afterwards major;
Il. M Dagg, 1t, first lieutenant, alter
wards captain Charles TurI err, second
lieutenant; j. Wills, third lieutenant; 10

sergeant; l. l. Smith, fourth sergeant.

second, j Il. Martin; third, W. b..
MARTA; and fourth, j. p. Mcdonald
These subaiterns were all residents of
Shelby county. This company did active
and famous service In manufacturing the
most glorious history ever acc. mplished
bV American arms and In being instru-
mental with that illustrious army In add
Ing more territory tn our Union than any
second-rate power In Europe can boast,

BREAT THING THROUGH THE
HOTTH.

Tight dressing, though the most
serious hinderance to the habit of
good breathing, is not the only OBJ
stacle. There are careless ways of
sitting and standing that draw the
shoulders forward and cramp the
chest; and 1T is hard for the lungs to
do good work when the chest is mar
row and CONSTRUCTED as it is for a
closely bandaged hand to get a copy
of clear, graceful penmaEshIp.
Then ther are law ways of breath
ing, and one-sided ways of breath
ing, and the particularly bad habit
of breathing through the mouth.
Now :he nose was meant to breathe
through, and it is marvelously ar
ranged for filtering the impurities
out of the air, and for changing it to
a suitable temperature for entering
the lungs. The mouth has no such
apparatus, and when air IS swallow
ed through the mouth instead of
breathed through the nose, it has an
curious effect upon the lungs A
story is told of an Indian who had a
personal encounter with a white man
much has superior IN size and
strength, and who was asked after
ward if he was not afraid. "Me
never afraid of man who keeps
mouth open," was the immediate re-
ply. Indeed, breathing through the
mouth gives foolish and weak ex-
preston to the face, as you may bee
by watching any one asleep with the
mouth open.
Il may be noted that an anemic,
or low, condition of the blood IS selss
dom found where there is an estab
lished habit of full, deep breathing
with the mouth closed.

hits him plump between the eyes.
Then he won't sleep for q week. Il
sings in his ears like thousand in.
sects, and sticks. pins in him every
time he tries to get a snooze.
It tackled me the other day. The
first thing it did was to impress me
with the idea that was in great
hurry. Then it beat me until was
tired. Then it, gave me to under
stand that had just three minutes
to sleep, and stuck pins IN me to
make me hurry about it. Then it
led me OFF just until my head had
sunk on the pillow, when suddenly
1t cried out Time up!" and land
ed me in the middle Of the floor.
Nextit dragged me back to bed, ran
sticks into my eyes, pulled my hair,
tickled my feet, jumped on me with
both feet twisted my nose and pull
ed ont all my finger nails. After
three or four nights Of this I began
to fall asleep. It began In my legs
and gradually ran over me up to the
neck. But my head kept wide
awake and began to grow. Some
one was drilling holes in it and
swinging some sort Of tackle on It
that squeezed so tight it made my
eyes pop out. My eyelids were
hauled up by ropes over the top OF
my head. Ny head continued to
swell, getting bigger and bigger
every moment. Finally it got to be
an immense balloon, that lifted me
up and carried me toward the stare
at frightful rate of speed. 1t took
my breath away and made my heels
swing through the air in terrible
way.
Up, up, up, Ikea shot, all among
the clouds that 60 by at an awful
speed. The world got very small
and spun around and around like .
top. The stars whirIed through
space and plunged one after another
into the moon. / few past every
thing, still up, up, up, faster and
faster. My eyes and my ears were
bursting. The world got out Of sight
and the stars circled around beneath
me like mighty. black object hang
ing overhead: There was sudden
crash. My head struck something
and bursted. Everything got dark,
snd tumbled down through space
at frightful speed. The stars shot
by me, and as 1 passed the moon
with rushing noise its barren plains
echoed back sound like mighty
cyclone. L struck bottom with .
mighty shock, I found myself
standing in the middle of the food Ia
my bedroom, looking at the clock.

[ LITTLE TAX WITH BOYS.

When / meet yon everywhere,
boys-on the street, in the cars, on
the boat, at your homes, or at school
4 see great many things in you
to admire. You are earnest, you
are merry, you are full of happy
life, you are quick at your lessons,
you are patriotic, you are brave,
and you are ready to study out all
the great and curious things in this
wonderful world of ours.
But very often find one great
thing lacking in you. You are not
quite gentlemanIy enough. There
are so many little actions which nelp
to make true gentleman, and which
1 do not see in you.
Sometimes when your mother or
sister comes into the room where you
are sitting on the most comfortable
chair, you do not jump up and say,
"Take this seat, mother" or Sit
here, Annle," but you sit still and
enjoy it yourself. Sometimes you
push past your mother or sister, in
the doorway from one room to an
other: instead of stepping aside po-
lItelY for them to pass first. Per-
haps you say "the governor" in
speaking of your father; and when
he comes In at night you forget to
say "Good evening sir" Some
times when mother has been shop
ping, and passes you on the corner,
carrying parcel, you do not step
up and say, "Let me carry that for
you, mother" but keep on playing
with the other boys. Sometimes
when mother or sister is doing some
thing for you, you call out, "Come,
hurry up!" just as though you we're
speaking to one of your boy com
panions. Sometimes when you are
rushing out to play, and meet a lady |
friend of mothers just coming in at |
the door, you do not lift your cap |
from your head, nor wait moment
till she has passed in.
Such ''little" things, do you say?
Yes, to be sure but 1T is these very |
little acts-these gentle acts-which
make gentlemen, 1 think the word
gentleman is a beautiful word.
First, lnan-and that means every
thing strong and brave and noble;
and then gentle, and that meons
full of these little kind, thoughtful
acts of which I have been speaking.
A gentleman Every boy may be
one if he will. Whenever / see a
gentlemanly boy 1 feel so glad and
proud! met one the other day,
and l have been happier ever since.

ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

DIR. F. NJ. Peterson, in his annual
address as President Of the Alabama
Medical Society, formulates the fol-
lowing propositions as the result Of
his professional experience:
I. Alchoholic liquors are never
necessary in health.
2. They are always injurious in
health in any case. ~
8. They are not necessary as
food for man any more than they are
for the lower animals.
4. They do not warm and give
strength to the body, but diminish
both.
5. They do not increase the powers
of resistance and the endurance OF
mental and physical fatighes
6. They do not increase mental
vigor.
z. They do not give tone to the
heart, but the accelerated, action,
which is always temporary, is follow
ed by a reduction Of tonicity.
8. They may for short time ln-
crease nerve tension, but arc follow
ed by relaxation and debility, and
the nervous system is more qaickIy
worn out under their influence.
8. They build up no tissues IN the
body, but in severe cause q deposit
tion of adipose tissue, which Is q
weakness and destruction to the
heart and to all other muscles.
10. They are specially harmful to
brainworkers who take but little ex-
erc;se. -.
II. They produce tendency to
apoplexy and paralysis.
= u. They gre never necessary nor
in the least beneficial in . physiolog-
ical condition Of the system IN any
either large or small, but
are often beneficial IN disease, in
which they should be prescribed by
an expert.
As medicine they are very impor-
tant, and whilst every possible re-
striction should be thrown around
their improper sale and use, sphysi-
clans should be able to obtain them
as readily and easily as quiniRe or
other leading articles of the materia
medica. fsasaa ssss s5eaa
