A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take meal sack and make
a suit Of clothes worthy of gentle-
mans wearing II the flt was right.
Gentlemen have fanoies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points Of a suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever 80
good, but condemnation will be swift
If there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfeetness of making,
and, above all, with the wit of the
clothier--his handiwork shining at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
'reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit, We extol these less
highly than a gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices Of ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average of custom work when you

BASEBALL spIALLTALK

Pittsburg pulled out ahead in yester-
days game with Washington by the mas
terly pitching of KnelI, their new
twirler, at critical moments. Several
times the Washingtons had men on bases
with no. one out but the base-hit that
they longed for never came. They made
the same number of hits and errors as
Pittsburg but the latter punched their
hits more effectively. To-day New
York opens at Pittsburg and philadelphia
at Indianapolis. 1t is to be hoped that
the Giants and the Quakers will keepour
rivals for sixth place from getting too
much of a lead while Detroit and Chicago
are amusing themselves with our boys.

the plug Uglies,' disgraced themselves
and brought diseredit upon the national
game at Cincinnati yesterday by their
outrageous conduct. Respectable people
had to leave the grounds, and Umpire
Doescher telegraphed his resignation.

Two strikes in a Day.

Yesterday the fifteen drivers of the
United States Express Company's wagons
wentno out because of the dismissal of
workman named Baker. Their demands
were not complied with and they are
still out. DR.. Hammond said this morn
ing that Baker was dismissed because he
was incapable, and that the drivers
places were filed in fifteen minutes. The
men, he said, had already seen their mis-
take, and some of them had asked to be
reinstated. None of them. however, have
or will be taken back. The Doctor said
that no express company can ever be
''put in q hole" by strike. He could, if
necessary, get 200 drivers in two hours,
The work of his company, he said, was
not delayed an hour by the strike yes
terday, and denied that Baker was dis
charged because of his refusal TO take
discharged drivers place, but because he
was nworthlessn "He got these men
into a strike and now they see their mis-.
take,v said the manager,

SOLDIERS DEPARTMENT.
MISSING,


Twas after Antotam, on an evening dark and
gray;
we had returned from the fight after bloody
day;
And we called the muster over, but ono an
ewored not the call;
Twas the youngest and the noblest and the
bravost OF us all,
He had dared the dircst dangers OF that dread
and denrbought day,
For hc had been the foremost in tho fury Of the
fray;
But solemn silence answered when VIC called
him on the roll
And We knew that we had lost him-and that
Heaven had gained o soul,
The night was closing chill and dim, and stars
were in the sky,
When forth VIC went to look for him-the bat
ue.ncld was nigh;
The moon shone out to aid us in our grim and
ghostly quest
AS we turned the brave mon over that were lying
there-at rest.
Where the fight had waxcd the flerccst, on the
margin OF the field.
We found him, grasping hard the sword he never
more might wicld!
There was glory on his visagc, like rosy light
or flood,
Though his golden hair was dabblcd with his
swiftly flowing blood.
Oh revrently we lifted him, and wiped away
the stain
That marred the bright young forehead, where
amothers kiss had lain
We loosed the things about his breast, but
turned asde-for there
We saw maiden's picture, and tender lock OF
HART
He was not dead He strove to smile; hc lifted
up his hands
But Death had turned the hourglnss and was
counting out the snndsl
We were rough and hardened soldiers, and We
could not mourn, because
He was dying for his country, like the hero that
he was.
We laid him on the litter, but he neither spoke
nor moved;
And tcnderly we bore him to tho comrades that
he loved.
He was dead long ere VIC laid him on the messy
patch of ground;
But we hoped he did not suffer, for he died with
out sound
We have bled in many u battle, we have fought
in many fray;
But that night at Antietnm is rs fresh as yes
terday;
And his name upon the muster.roll in fancy oft
we call,
For we loved him as the noblest and the bray
est of us all.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE,

Rich cheese feels soft under the
pressure nf the tingcn To keep one
that is cut tic il in cloth and put In q
oool, dry place.
Sausage Croqucttcs - Take two
pounds of sausage, four eggs, ono cup
of butter, one cup of sweet milk; add
sufficient bread crumbs to thicken;
roll in cracker meal and fry brown.
If the flat-iron is dirty tic up a
piece of yellow becs-wax in rag, and
when the iron is almost, but not quite
hot enough to use rub it quickly with
the wax, and then with coarse cloth. -
Good Cheer.
&C hocolnte jelly. Take kescven spoon
fuls of grated chocolate, the same of
wliito sugar, one cup of sweet cream;
mix together and set over the fire and
let come to boil. Pour it over corn
starch pudding, or put between layers
of cake.
To wash fine blank cts, add half n
cupful each of ammonia and alcohol
mixed to suds with CASTLE soap, TO
every two gallons of water. Sop the
blankets up and down in II, rinse in

taste.
--Poulticcs made of Indian meal are
quite suitable for application in inter-
nal inflammations, such rs pneumonia,
pleurisy, Inflammation of the bowels,
etc. 1t is used in the form of hot
mush, prepared just rs if it was to be
eaten. If one part of mustard is add
ed TO four parts of meal, tho poultice
will excite moderate irritation of the
skin, but can be kept on for hours
without blistering.
Scotch Cookies Beat two cups
sugar with one of butter and five table
spoonfuls of milk, in which has been
dissolved one teaspoonful of soda.
Beat two eggs quite light and add
them. Mix two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar with half n pound of flour and
a tablespoonful of powdered cinnamon.
Mix the whole together, adding more
flour from time to time to make
dough. Roll very thin. and bake quick
ly in large round cakes.
Apple Short Cake. Pare and stew
sour apples in very little water until
tender, then rub them through n sieve;
use no sugar or flavoring, but spread
over cake made with one quart of

baking powder, one tablespoonful of
sugar. one tablespoonful of butter,
kneaded soft and baked quickly. One
pint and half sweet milk, the yelks
of four eggs, three tablespoonfuls of
sugar, one tablespoonful of vanilla. |
Let the milk come to boil; then add

The FunereaI Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can te.., ones physical condition by
the state of the hairl
The Bible tells us that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. Tho Romans
considered badness serious affliction and
Julius Caesar was never quito satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose checks nature paints n rose of sim
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance of the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled ply
sician will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month OF March, because it
Is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell us is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by micro-organisms in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause of that
cough cures tho disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of wasting
To stop it eifectually, remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal tho lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion of
narcotics and po!sons, but an old-fash-
ioned preparation of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers atgreat trouble and expense.
1t is not u nero cold dryer. 1t is system
searcher and upbuilder and consumption
expellsnt. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system.
j. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan
Is, 1883, reported that "he had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
If you have cough, night sweats, "posi-
tive assurance in your own mind that
you, oh-you, havo no consumption" :"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away, you may know that
soon the funereal month OF March will
claim you, unless promptly and faithfully
you use the article named. If other rem
edies have failed try this one thoroughly.
If others are offered, insist the more on
trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.
