The cunferring of the rank Of general
upon officers Of the army is distinguished
honor that has fallen upon only four
officers since the foundation of the gov
ernment-Washingto Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan The grade of lieutenant
general for the commander of the army
was authorized by act of congress on May
IS, 179S. and on July 3 following Wash
ington was appointed TO the office He
held it until March 8, 1893. when he be-
came general, the grade Of lieutenant gen.
eral being abolished
On March 20. ls47, Maj. Gen. Scott was
made a brevet lieutenant general by act
of congress, but the actual grade was not
revived until Feb. 90, 1864 Two days
later Mai. Gen. Grant was appointed
lieutenant general, and he held the posi-
ton until July 20, 1868, when he became
general, the grade having been revived
for his benefit On the day he was inau-
gurated as president, March 4. 1869, he
nominated Sherman and Sheridan Tor
general and lieutenant general respect
ively, and these officers have held these
respective ranks since that date With
Sheridans promotion TO the grade OF
general, the rank of lieutenant general be-
comes a thing of the past, although it is

Are Your pallet. Laying.

This question is often asked at this season
by persons keeping hens; and the answer is
too often, mo. and suppose they won't lay
until eggs get cheap next spring; just my
luck 1t ought net to be your luck. Pull
lets patched in April last should have COM
menced laying a month ago; while May and
june matches should be laying this month.
II is not too late, even now, to force the
early pullets to laying in few weeks. The
late ones, even as late as July and August
can be brought forward, so as TO pay well,
while eggs bring good prices. Strictly fresh,
pullet eggs will probably retail as high as so
10 so cents per dozen, in Boston and New
York markets, before March /, 1889. Mrs.
l. j. Wilson of Northboro. Mass, says: lin
past years, have noticed when my pullets
laid at all, they would lay a litter and then
either want TO set, or NOPE around for ten
days, often for weeks doing no laying. Last
fall and winter there was no interruption of
their laying. The results were the best
ever saw in an experience of eighteen years.
Ny thirty pullets were all just six months
old when they commenced laying. | never
saw such a return of eggs. In just eight
weeks after they commenced to lay, the thir-
y ,pullets laid 1887 eggs; which | ascribed
to the use of Sheridan's Condition Powder,
to make hens lay" The new and enlarged

An Officers irving situation.

was dining at the officers mess Of q
regiment at Tounghoo 1t was during tho
wet monsoon at the time, We were sit.
ting over our wine, when a young lieuten-
ant called out: Il feel something creep
ing up my right leg" may mention that
wide trousers of American drill are worn
for the sake of GOODNESS. An old officer
present told the young fellow for God 5
sake not to stir. but sit perfectly quiet,
adding that it was no doubt snake. and
that if he was to move his position he
might be fally bitten. The young fellow
behaved with much nerve, His face be
came shade paler, but he took the ad-
vice given him and remained quiet. He
told us in low voice that the creature,
whatever it was, could not get past his
knee, and that it had coiled itself around
his leg.
Not knowing how the affair might end
the colonel had sent TO town for q snake
charmer Two of these worthless soon
made their appearance. one with reed
pipe somewhat resembling fageolet, the
other bearing a basket with flaps to it.
The basket, with one flap up, was set
down behind the young officers chair, the
bearer squatting down beside it, The
other officers made room for the charmers.
The musician commenced to play a low,
soft melody ON his pipe. monotonous but
pleasing. In few minutes the head Of
tho reptile was seen to peep out of the
bottom OF the young officers trousers, and
after nodding it about a little. keeping
time with the cadence of the music, the
snake slowly wriggled itself free from the
young fellows leg and glided toward the
piper.
The music now became fast and wild,
the snake keeping time with it, until,
with rapid, sharp movement, the man
on the floor caught the snake by the
neck, thus forcing his jaws apart. Pro-

Said well known Clergyman to me the
other day: My experience is that, as a rule,
clergymen are very cruel TO a brother cler-
gyman who is under a cload, Just as women
are pitiless to woman in trouble, and for
tho same reason. Some years ago a clerical
friend Of mine was accused Of a disgraceful
act. He was not guilty, but for time np-
pearances were against him. In fact, it was
morally impossible that he could be guilty.
And yet not ore OF his friends in the minis
try except myself stuck up for him, and
even l was ostracized by my brethren for
taking his part. In short time, fortunately,
his innocence was clearly proved, and then
his clerical brethren were very anxious to
show their friendliness to him. But he never
forgave them for their cowardice
The fact is, the average clergyman Is so
afraid of being compromised by scandal that
he becomes a coward in such cases. Had nv
friend been business man, mono of his bust
ness friends would have believed the charges
against him. But We clergymen are very
childish and womanish in many thingl We
are credulous where We should be incredu-
lous, and vice versa. If had the say in tho
matter, would extend the course of theo-
logical students by putting them for year
or two in some good business house, where
they could learn little of the hardheaded
horse sense in which We parsons are 90 de-
dcient. New York Tribune.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death
At the onset you must act with promptness ;
allowing cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. 1t will
give you immediate relief

The various committees of Capital Grange
and the directors of Capital Driving PARK

races would all be filed as advertised.
The halls will be put in readiness to re-
ceiye entries tomorrow, and Mr.. j. II.
Yeaton, superintendent of the same, with
Mr.. c. F. Fletcher, the secretary, will be on

ladies of Capital Grange appointed to arrange
contributions of ladies' work, etc. will also
be il waiting at Meonian Hall at the same
time to receive and take charge of any arti-
Gle or contribution to the fair, which the la
dies of the county or city wish to make. The
committee desire especially to have contri-
buttons of quilts, rugs, articles of fancy and
ornamental needle work, household manu-
features, and also ancient articles of historic
or domestic interest, old curiosities books,
documents, articles Of apparel, furniture,
etc. Such add much to the interest of q
public fair and all will be carefully guarded

The following story was told by a
clergyman, as being part of conversation
held by him with an Englishman to whom
he pointed out Gen. Grants residence in
New York. The Englishman asked,
"What name" and seeming to obtain no
further light, the clergyman repeated it
to him and said: "Of course you have
heard of Gen Grant. He was our presi-
dent for eight years ending in 1877"
"Ahp' remarked the Englishman, still
with no evidence Of recalling fact pre-
viously known.
Then, too, proceeded the clergyman.
"he was great general and was in com.

Horseford's phosphate preparations. Re-
cent examinations made by me of his bak-

the bread when baked. In ordinary cream

the bread after raising is rochelle salts-a

Autograph Copies of Water Colors.
The photographer smiled when asked about
this, and said that it was quite true that the
Autograph copies of water colors were often
taken for originals.
''Some little time ago." he said, lone Of
the largest advertisers in the country was
persuaded to order a quantity of imitation
water colors for advertising cards He hest
tated about doing it, saying that he did not
believe the masses of the people cared for
such things They preferred the shiny gloss
of the ordinary Autograph, he believed He
gave the order, however, and as he does
things on a large scale, he gave a large order
for the first set of four sketches. Before this
was exhausted he ordered an even larger
quantity, and this was again followed by an
order larger than either of the previous ones.
Some of his employees noticed that one man
came frequently for the pictures asking for
three or four sets at once. They were glad
to give them to him. tor the cards were only
used as advertisements, and of course they
wanted as many as possible distributed. This
stranger, however, came so often that their
curiosity vas aroused, and they took some
pains to find out who he was. They found
that he WAS a picture frame maker who was
framing the cards in such a way as to hide
the advertisement, and was doing flourish
