Rseuliar Sensations which Many . Br4vs
Man Has Experienced.
We had been held in reserve for Ave
long hours while cannon thundered and
muakets crackled spitefully along the
front mile away. Aprocession Of dead
and wounded had fled past Us until we
were sick with horror. Shot and shell
and bullet had fallen upon us behind the
woods until the dry, dead grass bore
many stain of blood.

Our brigade was going in at last, and
there was look of relief on the face Of
every officer and man as we got the
word.
"Guide right - front - forward -
march,
As we swung clear Of the woods q gust
of wind raised the smoke for minute,
and I saw the plain in our front blue
with dead and wounded. Away beyond
them was a line Of earthworks, and I
had one swift glimpse of thin blue line
kneeling behind the cover.
"Steadyl Right dress! Double quick
march,"
The air is alive with the ping Of bull
let's and the whiz and shrek of shot
and shell. We bend our heads as if
breasting fierce gale laden with icy
pellets. There is wild cry-a shriek-
a groan as men are struck and fall to
the earth, but no one heeds them-no
one hesitates. 1t is hurricane Of death,
but we feel wild exultation in breast

their hats and cheer.

An Old Soldiers Com plaint.


WASHINGTON, ID. G.
Dear Sir I've just got another
O your postal cards tellin me to go
before the doctors an be examined.
I've been gittin these cards bout
every new mune since | plide fer an
increace of my pension too years ago,
I've bin examined, an punched in the
ribs, an sounded in the lungs, and
made to bend over the back of a chair
and lay bare backed on a table and
perform all sorts of monkey shines
with my shirt tale, till feel as if i
orter have salary with an agent to
60 ahead and stick up bills.
To begin with you sent me to
couple of doctors up to Skin Creek,
and it took EN- half our to find out
the reason why they couldn't find any
circulation in my left leg is because
it was a wooden one. The next time
you sent me to little cuss with glass
es down to Swampville, and after
fumblin me long enough he put mi
truss on hind side fore, and said the
pad was intended to brace up mi spinl
Kolom. Three or four times after
that you sent me to odds and ends of
doctors, who couldn't tell the differ
ence between an epileptic Symptom
and billed klam. And the last time
you sent me to full board of Sur
geons down to the Cownty Sete, y
\ thy come to the konklusion highs
i could ketch on that some thing was
the matter with my bladder.
Perhaps this is all right, it may be
fun for the doctors, it was fun for
me for awhile, but now that you Or
der me back to the fust too doctors,
and probably expect me to start on
the same old cirkus over again, I'm
goin to xix like a brindle stear.
Last summer on account of the frisk-
mess of pair of colts, my wooden
leg got tangled up and was chawed
to flinders in moving machine.
Piled to the doctor general fer new
laig, but he sed i'd only had the old
one three years and i'd have to waite
too years more before the government
could afford to make a hole in the
surpluss by gittin' me another. so
I'm WAITIN. And in all this in
teresting pamorammer Of xtminations
i've bin hobblin rownd on one laig,
and doin mi best to prove that one of
Unkle Sans Veterans, with one laig
in the graiv and the other-nigh it
is bettern a korps by several per sent.
But hobblin rownd in this way aint
fust klass phun for stiddy job. I've
stood it a good vile without grum-
bin, and, 1 suppose furnished good
deel of phun for the doctors, payin
mi own xpensis
Menewile mi natrule laig, the one
i browt away safe from the Wilder
ness, has took to the ruematix, till
I'm almost sorrie dident drop it when
did the otter one.
If l go before any more doctors
for an examination you've got to do
something morn send me a postal
card. You'll have to haul me before
EN- with derrick. Now don't want
to be sassy i aint built that way.
But Mr.. Black, if you expect to
blossom out as Vice President OF the
United States by bucking against the
honist clame of an old Veteran with
one foot in the grave and the other
near it, you're gittin down more
hay than you'll have time to cock up.
You'll make about as much at that
game as the Surgeon General will by

Editor Sitter: l am pleased to
see that you advocate the selection Of
our townsman, w. l.. Gibson for
County Supervisor of schools. For
the last fifteen years Mr.. Gibson has
faithfully served us as Superintend-
ent of schools, and the greater part
of tile same time has been our first
selectman, filling both positions to
the entir- satisfaction of our people.
In these positions, he has for years
taken deep and constant interest in
educational matters, ever striving to
elevate the character, increase the ca
pacity and add to the facility of our
schools.
To him, we, as a people, owe many
an unpaid and unpayable debt, unless
indeed, we can add our small voice to
the general wish for his election as
Supervisor for the county, and there
by give him the reward he honestly
merits. He is capable and untirng
in the discharge of his duty, and il
the Board should select him they
would, am sure, see wherein they
had chosen wisely.
Yours &C.,

Discussing women's education, a writer
says: SIS the education with which the aver
age American girl is endowed the best! Will
it best fit her for the fight alone in life
or to be the helper Of the opposite sexa"
The best education for a girl is that which
best helps her to adjust herself to her sur
roundings in life. 1t is by no means Ger
tain that the very highest of our so called
institutions of learning are doing this for
the average girl. They imagine for her a
sphere in life better adapted for au angel
than to a common mortal, and in seeking to
adapt her to that sphere they utterly unfit
her for that life in which most girls tiud
themselves sooner or later. This training
of girls for life which they are never to
lead in this world is fast becoming popular
under the alluring name of the higher edu-
cation. while that training which tits them
to make their own way in this matter-of-
fact life is regarded as sort of lower edu-
cation. The best education is that which
d ,veiopes the faculties, rather than that
which seeks to turn outaccomplishcd ladies'.
Faculty is the knack of doing things as
they ought to be done; accomplishment is
submitting to have certain things done to
ones self. Accomplishment embroiders
the toe of slipper and paints daisies on the
bowl of soup ladle. Faculty neatly re-
pairs the torn garment and compounds the
hunger appetising soup. 1t is the lower
education whichimparts faculty. Which is
best!
We believe in that "higher education,n
especially for women, which makes them
the most wOmanly women; which teaches
them to perform all those things which be-
long to woman's work with dignity and
grace Let the housekeeper be well read,
handle the needle lastly, and do everything
which comes in her way and the way of her
home,

Hints to HOusekeepers.

A salve that is good for all kinds of
wounds, ETC., is made Of equal parts Of vel
low wax and sweet oil. Melt slowly; stir
in a small quantity Of glycerine.
Cold tea is a good old fashioned remedy
for sore eyes. Battle the eyes frequently,
especially before retiring, and you will
soon find relief
When you buy new broom select dozen
Of the smoothest and largest splints, pull
them out, and lay them away to use in test
ing cake when it is baked.
To set the color in black or dark hosiery,
calicoes, cambrlcs, etc, put large table
spoonful OF black pepper into a pail OF water
and let the articles lie in soak for time.
To remove rust stains from linens, dis
solve small quantity Of oXalic acid, cover
the stains with this solution, rub thor
oughly through the hands a few minutes
stain, then remove and wash the linen in
soft lukeWarm water. If the stains are old
the process should be repeated.
If you want good bit of steak, have a
clear hot fire. set your clean, empty pan on
hot spot, cover it up, then pound your
steak, and when your pan is very hot lay
in your steak and cover quickly. AS soon
as it has crisped enough to let go its hold
upon the pan, turn over and cover quickly !;
turn again as at first, and continue to do so
about every two minutes until you have
turned the steak about six or eight times.
Have hot, buttered dish ready and lay in
the steak; add a sprinkling Of pepper, salt
and sugar if liked, and cover tightly.
Now if you wish gravy, put bit of
butter in your pan. When hot, rub in a
pinch of -four, add small teacupfull of
boiling water, let it boil a few minutes,
then put in a gravy boat instead of putting
over your meat to draw out the JUICE. Now
try this plan just once, and you will find the
result to equal broiled steak.

Paper Cushions.

All England is crazy on the subject of
paper pillows. You tear the paper into
very small pieces, not bigger than your
finger nail, and then put them into pillow
sack or light ticking. They are very cool
for hot climates, and are said to be much
superior to feather pillows. The newspap-
ers are printing appeals for them for hos
pitfalls. The paper of newspaper is not nice
to use as there is apt to be disagreeable
odor from the printers ink; but brown or
white paper and old letters and envelopes,
are mostly recommended. AS you tear them
stuff them into an old pillow case and you
can see when you get enough. The easiest
way is to tear or cut the paper in strips
about half an inch wide, and then tear or
cut across. The finer it is, the lighter it
makes the pillows.
