BreastwOrks and Rifie-Pits.

From the North Anna to Petersburg
the surface of Virginia in 1864 was in
tersected by hundreds of miles of breast
works and defences of all sorts, only a
small part of which were planned or au-
thorized by any preliminary orders of
officers in command. In the month of
June the time of many of the regiments
expired. A good observer passing along
the lines at Cold Harbor could easily
pick out the troops whose service was
nearly at an end. If the breastwork
showed extra care, was of heavy pro-
file, with solid q" head-logs " on the
crest, and skilfully arranged zigzag
passages cut through the work, giving
a well covered communication, with
deep and secure rihe-pits in front, it
could be taken for granted that the
regiment at that point was counting the
days to its return home. These regi-
ments which were nearing the time of
mastering out built their ramparts so
high that even standing on the BAN
quette one could not see over them.
When an engineer officer complained
one day of this he was politely informed
that they were not to see over, but to
fire over In fact, these homesick vet
Grams had so accurately sloped the crest
of the rampant that man standing on
the banquette, although unable to see
over, could place his musket at arms
length above his head, solidly on the
rampant, pull the trigger and hit con-
federate breast-high without taking the
risk to look. The writer recollects
regiment so fortified that helped to bear
the brunt of Beauregard's charge in
the dark night of June 3, 1864, without
having one man hit. During the charge
three South Carolinians climbed upon
the ramparts, but seeing beneath them
the glitter of cold steel surrendered.
One of them, however, nearly broke his
neck in coming down, so steep was the
jump into the trench.-T. F Gal,oey,
In NeU York Tribune.

this habit. If mothers would be more
awake to the best future interests
of their children, and more willing
to adapt these ways, their hands and
minds would be so sufficiently occu-
pied with that (Which should belong to
her own highest interests) she would
find less for servant to do, and less
damage done, and much less expense,
while it would be much more profitable
to both mother and children.
May the time hasten when mothers
will be more interested, and deem it a
great privilege and of far more i'm
portance and pleasure, to have a closer
watch over their families than for all the
pleasures the world can give, and train
them to be useful by giving them en-
ployment; and in after-life, as she sees
them grow up to ably fill responsible
positions in life, she will never regret
her care-taking and labor, and will not
only feel, but will be, abundantly re-
warded. r. A. f.

The Hair.

Professor Wilson of England is the
highest authority on the hair. He con-
dennis washing it and advises, instead,
thorough brushing. This promotes cir
culation, removes scurf and is, in all re-
spects, better than water. Cutting the
hair does not, as commonly thought,
promote its growth. Most of the spe-
cies recommended for badness are
mere stimulants, and are seldom or
never permanently successful. Some
of them give rise to congestion of the
scalp. When a stimulant is desirable,
ammonia is the best 1t is safe. For
falling out of the hair, DR.. Williams
prescribes a lotion composed of water
of ammonia, almond oil and chlOroform,
one part of each diluted with five parts
alcohol, or spirits of rosemary, the
whole made fragrant with a drachm of
oil of lemon. Dab it on the skin, after
thorough friction with the hair-brush.
1t may be used sparingly or abundantly,
daily or otherwise. For cooling To-
ton, one made of two drachms of borax
and glycerine to eight ounces of dis
titled water is effective, allaying dry
ness, subduing irritability and removing
scurf. Both badness and grayness de-
pend on defective powers Of the scalp
skin, and are to be treated alike. What
is needed is moderate stimulation, with
out any irritation. The following is
good: Rub into the bare places daily,
or even twice day, a liniment of cam
phor, ammonia, chloroform or aconite,
equal parts of each. The friction should
be very gentle. Ladies who have diff
Guilty in making their hair remain
crimped will find the following of use:
Let five cents worth of gum-arabic be
dissolved in a very little hot water and
left to stand over night in enough alco-
hol to make it thin; then bottle. The
hair should be wet with the mixture be-
fore being crimped.

Beecher on Cooking.

81 consider the Kitchen" he said,
" as being the DEVILS own organized
kingdom against the kingdom of health
in the human family. The want of
economy, springing from the want of
knowledge, the gross food, the greasy
food, the want of delicacy and of re-
gard for the finer elements of health
and life-it is amazing, it is piteous, il
is heathenish. The heathens live bet
ter than we do oftentimes in that re-
gard. We do not want any French
morality, but we should like some
French cuisine. The art of one onion
to make dozen soups, every one of a
different flavor; the art of rendering
the poorest meat and the cheapest, such
as is within the reach of all, into such
tasteful and relishful dishes as shall
perfectly satisfy the men that gorge
themselves on pork and rude beef and
all that; and to teach young women
how wisely and economically and deli
cately to cook is to lay foundation I'M
der their future married life"

Mental Philosophy.

Mental philosophy teaches that i'm
pressions once made on the mind are
never lost; but they are sometimes so
covered up by more recent events that
they are not readily recalled without
effort. Last week Special Examiner
Curran called on an officer in st. Johns
bury for his testimony as to the wound
ing of a soldier in his company in 1864.
The officer was at first wholly unable to
give any testimony concerning the
claimant for pension. In few days
Mr.. Curran met him again, when he in
formed him that he could testify for the
soldier. He then stated how he had
been able to recall the matter. He said
that when he went home after being
asked to give the testimony he took the
roll of his company that he used to call
in the army and called it through, and
when he reached the name in question
in the call he could see in his mind
where that man stood in the ranks
when he called the roll as orderly
twenty-five years before, and, having
recalled the man, he could give some
thing of his history in the army. He
remembered of seeing him wounded in
the arm at the battle of the Wilderness
in May, 1864, and also of his being
wounded again in the neck while going
to the rear on the same day.

PAPER for Cake.Pans.

In preparing my Washington pie tins,
in which to bake the layers, always
spread smooth with thin MANILA {"
paper, carefully buttered. Manila paper
is better because it is very strong, and
l prefer to let the paper come up to the
edge of the pan and lift it out by the
edges when baked. 1t is bad plan to
turn hot or warm cake upside down to
get it out of the tins, being liable to
break in the middle. Some discussion
ensued in regard to the relative advan-
tages of using or doing without paper,
as thick paper caused the cake to adj
here, and when removed peeled the
delicate brown from the bottom of the
loaf. Upon the suggestion of another
intelligent pupil the tins were creased
with butter and dredged with flour and
the tin then inverted to permit the loose
-four to fall off. This was to be sub
stitute for paper, and to cause a richer
brown on the cake. The experiment
proved delightfully."- successful, and the
class echoed Mrs. Daniels thanks for
a new and invaluable hint, as many an
anxious housewife can testify.-Boston

As We Anticipated.

The Washington claim agents who
recently discovered an old law that
would give soldiers widows between
S400 and $500, as they thought, and
themselves fee of twenty-five per cent
of the amount collected, are not happy
over the prospects of their scheme.
They said: " 1t is not in the nature of
a pension" The senate committee on
pensions recently called at the pension
Office for information concerning this
claim. The commissioner of pensions,
in reply, reviews the subject at consid-
cradle length and concludes that the
law referred to is one in the nature of
giving a pension and not a bounty, and
so has been superseded by more recent
laws on the same subject. He takes
the same view of the matter as that
taken by T. J. Deavitt in his opinion,
published in several newspapers at the
time of the appearance of the circulars
of the Washington attorneys. He
recommends the repeal of this old law as
the most effectual way for the govern
ment to avoid the trouble of consider
ing claims arising under it.

Strategy.

During the battle of North Anna,
May "a, 1864, veteran Union brigade
was engaged in an open wood. To its
right was regiment that seemed in
clined to give way on slight pressure.
There was a succession of Intellectual
charges by federals and confederates,
but invariably when the confederates
charged our Union brigade's right fell
back and its left stood fast, like gate
swinging back on its hinges. 1t left the
confederates free to press that shaky
regiment if they liked, but at the risk
of being taken in flank if they tried it.
1t was a brilliant and successful, if
simple, counter-movement. AT first, as
the enemy came charging on with loud
yells, the men all along the brigade
having been keeping suspicious and
anxious eyes to the right flank, began to
murmur, "Why don't we refuse ii e.
retire. the right" and by a general
impulse, without any order whatever
from the commanding officer, the whole
line awkwardly and little brokenly the
first time, made backward right wheel
and checked the enemy. Whenever
the enemy approached again the word
would fly along the ranks, Refuse the
right! " and the maneuvre would be
repeated with neatness and dispatch;
the sole responsibility of the officers
consisting in giving harmony to
the movements by such cautions as
" Steady " if any of the men, engrossed
with loading and firing as they fell back,
would appear to be stepping too rapidly
for the rest of the line. Tribune Cor

Does Not Agree with Him.

General Stephen Thomas does not
agree with the recent decision Of the
commissioner of pensions that a soldier
pensioned under special act of con-
gress cannot be permitted to complete
his original claim afterwards, if he can,
and receive pension under the general
pension law, deducting therefrom what
may have been paid him under the
special act. The decision of General
Black, he says, is contrary to the uni
form practice from the beginning of
the government. We think General
Thomas is right and General Black is
wrong, and that when the question
comes up before the secretary of the
interior, as it probably will, he will re-
verse the decision of the pension office.

An Adverse Report.

The house committee on pensions
has reported against giving pension
to Julia Spenard of Montpelier. Mrs.
Spenard is the widow of Beniaman
Spenard, who at the time of his death
was receiving pension of S24 month
for the loss of leg. He left widow
and several small children without
means of support. They were re-
fused pension by the commissioner of
pensions on the ground that the death
of the soldier was not caused by the
loss of the limb for which he was pen
stoned. The widow then applied to
congress for special act giving her
and her children a pension of SIS a
month, which will probably be refused

Got Her Pension.

With the constant dealing of con-
gress with the pension laws it is anus
ing to see what mistakes senators and
representatives sometimes make in
matters that ought to be as familiar to
them as the multiplication table. The
other day the senate was considering a
bill to pension the widow of lieuten-
ant. The question was asked: "What
is the rate of pension for lieutenant?"
A grave senator arose and informed
the senate that it was 500 month. No
one corrected the statement and the
bill passed, giving the widow captains
pension instead of S15 a month, the
rate of pension which her husband was
receiving at the date of his death as a
second lieutenant.

True Faith.

: You tell me that your child is dead,
And yet you greet me with a smile,
And let the sunshine flood your rooms
And with a song your grief beguile!"
And why not smile? If she had gone
To dwell in sunny Italy,
To gaze upon those palaced slopes
And wander by that summer sea,
. Would not joy to follow her
In thought beneath those classic skies,
To note with every changing scene
The rapture in her glad young eyes?
: Yet with my winging joy, alas
Always a brooding fear would mate,
Not knowing when along the way
Some nameless woe might lie in wait;
But now for her, with love ensphered,
No evil thing can work its spell;
Safe talismaned from ill she treads
The fields where living fountains well.
Then why not smile and open wide
My windows to the blessed light,
Since she forevermore abides
In that fair land that knows no night7"
