He concluded that il was necessary for
aim TO have a gunboat with which to
patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals 10 come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
IL he asked the government for a gunboat
the war might end before he could get il.
He found an old mule ferryboat. This he
patched mp, and mounting gun forward
set her afloat under the name of the
"Gunboat Tennessee There is some
thing ludicrous in the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions TO its
commander. When one considers tho i'm
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal Of other generals and the make
shifts Gs Mitchell working with nothing
except what lac could improvise, there is
something more than ludicrons in this
order. 1t is pathetic:
CAPTAIN: You arc placed in command
of the Gunboat Tennessee, now lying at
Whitesburg. You win find one piece Of
artillery ON board the boat. You viii
take on board crew Of armed river men
from your own company such as you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized

Let any physician, let any candid per-
son, look al the classes assembled in the
Normal college chapel and say whether
these girls look as young girls should?
Do they recommend our great educational
system? Where are the beauties for
which we naturally look in dawning
womanhood--the rosy checks and spark
ling eyes, the free movements, the rounded
forms, the dimplcs? They are conspicuous
by their absence! The girls are, for the
most part, pale, duh eyed and weary look
ing. They are fiat breasted and round
shouldered. Here and there q blooming,
rosy, "sonsy'' girl makes the prevailing
pallor and languor only more noticeable.
In view of this assemblage, need we ask
whether the vigor OF our children is really
sacrificed to edueation?-E. NJ Hardinge

MIX Hospitals OF New york.

Not all the world knows that there are
such things as milk hospitals in the sub
urbs Of this city. The idea is d German
one. These hospitals are for the cure of
every physical i'll, ON the principal of max
ing the blood entirely over and keeping it
pure by taking milk, milk, nothing but
milk as food for weeks, months, years.
Iu fact, the doctors OF milk hospitals fix
upon three years as the limit Of time
necessary to make a patient completely
over. Then, If he wants 10 stay made
over, ne is advised to keep on with the
milk diet and leave solid food alone for the
remainder of his days. When patient
enters the hospital he is at once treated t1
six quarts of milk a day, which is in
creased gradually TO eleven and twelve.
This seems an incredible amount for any
one, particularly an invalid, TO consume,
but the facts are as stated The milk IS
administered in cupfuls every ten or fif-
teen minutes, and must be drank slowly,
slipped as Partisan takes his absinthe.
Sometimes the patient grows deathly
sick at the very sight Of milk, early in
action. Perseverance Is the only 4-a-sSt-
cine he takes to overcome this nausea.
Whether he gets sick or we'll he is sure to
get fat; and the fatter he gets the more
does his doctor rejoice. He is weighed in
the balance daily and never found want
ing. Should he not climb up into the
hundred weights fast enough, quart or
so more is added to his daily allowance of
milk. Meantime, while he drinks the
milk, he is expected to lie abed all the
time his only recreation being daily
bath in hot water. After he is satisfac-
torily made over and pronounced well, he
drops down to a gallon of milk per day

woman Rules tho Rart.

Sometimes a Chinese or Siamese hus-
band is missed. He no longer washes or
tumerics the children, he no longer boils
and hands ont the rice in little basins TO
his offspring. Ills wife is asked where he
is, and, like Barham's cook in '.The In
goldsby Legends y she looks askew. She
does not say anything, but tho neighbors
that is to say, the people in the next
boat or on the next raft-whisper some-
thing a5out disturbance n night or two
ago, OF u cry, Of a groan or two, OF q
splash in the water, and fear that some
thing has happened to the missing hus-
band. He comes back no more, and the
widow presently marries again, all going
quite merrily on the raft and in the house
with the new husband. From oil Of
which you will gather that the Siamese
woman is Of the energetic, determined
sort.
She is not beautiful; she does not charm
that way Short, sturdily built, Of dark
reddish brown color, with her black hair
cut aboutan inch and half long and
standing straight up all over her head like
q thick brush; chewing all day long mix
ture Of red Chinese tobacco, areea nut and
betel leaf, so that the brown juice runs
down her chin and on to her bosom; not
clad in more than one colored cloth
wrapped round her, and looking more like
the missing linko than anything else, she
certainly does not charm by her appear
ance.

ing way with her. and, at any rate, she
knew how TO keep order at home. One
quality she has: She is extremely busi-
ness like and keen at Luying and selling.

Now, it stands to reason that if a stem
ographer or type writer is worth So a
week this year she ought to be worth $40
a week next year. and it seems to me that
any conslde-ate employer would recognize
the enormous Improvement in the work

The moment a girl finds herself in the

which is at least $50 moro than the

A sealskin as seen on the animal is a

Nine-tenths of these fur-seal skins are
dressed in London and then sent out all
over the civilized world. There are prac-

taken on the Pribylov Islands by the
Alaska Commercial company.
The average weight of a 2-ycar-old skin
is FIVE and half pounds; 3-year-oId skin.
seven, and of a 4-year-oId skin, twelve
pounds. It takes three skins to make q
lady's sack, which is worth anywhere
from SO up to $500 This difference in
price is seldom due to a variance IN the
original quality of the fur, but to tho
quality of the work by which it is made
ready for wear. The carcass is left to rot
where the skin was taken off. It requires
about three years to rot away, and, al
though 10000 Of these carcasses are annu-
ally decaying almost within a stones

In Brief. and ia the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. DisOrdered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and VOL
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

Monday to consider the proposition
submitted Saturday by Rev. I. F.
Stauffer to locate here the Reformed
college now at Wichita. Several per.

others addressed the meeting, urging
the necessity of securing this institu.
ton for the city. A committee was
appointed to consider the proposition
of the college board of directors.
This afternoon another meeting was
held. Several offers equal to the re.
quirements of the directors were sub
mitted by Abilene parties and were re-
ferred to committee to determine
which one should be accepted.
1t is almost certainty that the col
lege will be located here and Abilene
will have one more institution to be
proud of.
A definite decision will be reached
inside of two or three days.

For twenty years this day has been

gratitude for the brave men who laid
down their lives in the Nations cause.
1t is day of hallowed memories; a
day when a grateful people pay floral
tribute to the Nations honored dead
and testify their devotion to the princi-
Piles for which they died.
1t should be observed in a loving and
reverent spirit in which all should
unite, keeping in mind the fact that by
Gods mercy and the blood of our
brothers, we are today enjoying the
blessing of reunited country.
To this end your commander recon-
mends that each Post attend divine
service in body on the Sunday pre-
ceding Memorial day, as fitting prep
aration for the solemn duties of that
day. That on Memorial day the COM
rades assemble at their respective Post
rooms and march in procession to the
cemeteries, and where practicable, that
the exercises there be conducted in &C
cordance with the form prescribed in
the service book.
The department extends a cordial
invitation to all fraternal and military
organizations and Sabbath schools, as
well as to all loyal men and women of
Kansas, to join us in sacred Observ-
ance of that day. By command of
