The Head of the Army.

Gen. Schofield's salary is $4,000. AL
though he is the successor of Sheridan,
who followed line of soldiers in the Of
flee who were national heroes, and al
though he is rightfully the incumbent by
reason of his services to the country, his
career has not been such as to mako his
name over familiar to people generally.
His military life has been long and the
duties faithfully performed, but in few
events has he been very conspicuous.
Gen. Schofield was born on the Goth of
September, 1881. He graduated from
the United States Military academy in
1858. in the same class with Sheridan,
Mcpherson and Hood. Before the war
he left the service to become professor
of natural science in n university, but at
the breaking out of hostilities he entered
the army as volunteer. A majors COM
mission was rendered to him ut once and
on Nov. 81, 1861, he had reached the grade
of brigadier general. He served all
through the war, notably in the Atlanta
campaign, and for time was secretary
of war in Grants first cabinet. At pres
ent his duties are practically nominal, for
there are plenty of subordinates to look
after details. He has an Office in the de-
partment building which is principally
interesting for the relics which it contains
of his service. Sheridan filled up his Of
flee in similar way, and it was q favor
lite spot for sightsecrs. Cou-

Tho Cottonwood Tree.

1t was not many years ago that the
cottonwood tree was considered useless
for the purposes of lumber. Today it is
crowding white pine out of the market
for certain purposes, and large fortunes
arc being mado oil along tho Mississippi
river out of this wood, which was once
despised as much in that field as a garfish
always has been among fishermen. In
New Orleans white pine is worth S35
thousand, while yellow cottonwood
brings $65. For the ceiling of grain
bargcs it is invaluable, as grain cannot
sweat in it. Every cracker box in use in
this city today is made of cottonwood,
and it cannot be excelled for fruit bar
rels. I do not know why this is SO, but
it is fact, nevertheless. Cottonwood
will hold nails and can be used for build
ing, and it is also capable of fine polish
after certain treatment, and it is much
priced for interior decorations. There
are now men rich because they own
tracts covered with cottonwood, who five
years ago would have traded an acre of
it for yellow dog.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

bairpins out, and arranged what she
called "pillow COIL" 1 told her that

locks in loose pigtail, and the horror
that came to her face appalled, me.
"Comfort? What is comfort to

The frock was sent home the follow

glove box. put it on that night and
went to bed, after parading before glass
for an hour, but the dread of mussing
the lovely stuff, and the faint, sweet
smell of the sachet kept me awake until
a belfry clock struck two, when I got
up, exchanged the thirty two dollar
frock for a two dollar m uslin gown, the
"pillow coil' for pigtail, and slept
the sleep of the just. And so it is that
"the things we prize so dearly turn to
ashes in the winning."-CLARA BELL

Fruit,

In season, and in moderation, is an
excellent regulator of the system
The trouble is, it cannot be obtained
when needed, but Hamburg figs, the
vegetable fruit cathartic, may always
be found at your druggists. Hamburg
figs do their work thoroughly, and
without fuss; they cause no pain OF
weakness, and everything that a mild
laxative and purgative should be. Be
sides this, they are so pleasant to take
that children even eat them as eagerly
as candy. They are so safe that an
overdose need cause no uleasiness.
We say with confidence, therefore,
that for all cases of constipation, give
Hamburg figs, which are sold at L. r.
Kinks for 25c. a box. Dose, one fig.

ga great deal has been DONE" said IN
old sailor the Other day, Ito improve the
lot of the men before the mast, since first
went to sea rs u cabin boy, and when
ever complaint is properly lodged
against cruel officer, must say it is
fairly investigated. Yet for all that,
there are plenty of murders committed
today on the high seas that are never in
vestigated because no complaint is made.
Every day one or two vessels come into
this port with 4 shorter crew than they
started out with and their captains re-
ports of seaman fell overheard and was
lost or cabin boy killed by falling SPAR,
or coal passer died from heart trouble
and was buried at sea- are accepted as
perfectly satisfactory. No investigation
is made into the death, unless some one
lodges n formal complaint.
Its an easy matter for one man who
has grudge against his mate to shove
the other overheard, if they are both up
in the rigging in dark and stormy
night. The unseen cutting of rope is
often enough to do it. 1t is easy to drop
Il block or a marline spike on the head of
man below, that will knock him dazed
into the water to drown, or down to the
deck to smash his skull. Heart trouble
covers q great deal of insufficient nour-
ishment, lack of medicine and overwork.
This is not the way things are done on
land. You have your coroners here to
investigate sudden deaths, why should
they not look into deaths at sea? Many
poor towards would tell the truth against
their officers, if they were thus forced to
do so, who would not dare come forward
and lodgea complaint they might be I'M
able fully to prove."-New York Tribune.

Seed Bed for Wheat.

Fineness and compactness are the
prime mechanical condition of a seed
bed for wheat. The ground must be
crushed into small PARTICLES, and while
these PARTICLES must not be confused
into masses, they must be in close con-
tact.
In ground having these conditions,
moisture. air and heat are most gen.
orally and equally diffused; hence every
seed is most apt to find the conditions
essential to termination, and every
plant the conditions essential to growth.
There is the greatest capillarity, an i'm
portant matter at time when we must
depend much upon the ground-WateE

reading. In few minutes the boy returned
and said there was no response. Hooked over
the rooms that had been taken, and found
that no one had been assigned to the room in

disarranged and one push on the button will

The commonest superstition regarding
dreams is that to dream of gold predicts joy;
silver, sorrow; Of flying, a journey; of light
ming, marriage; of killing se,'pents, victory;
of blindness, poverpy; of combing the hair,
sickness; of gray hair, death; Of flies, enc
mics; of Cupid, love, but if he breaks his
bow, you are to be an old maid or widow.
To dream of white flowers is a good omen; of
yellow flowers, you are to attend a funeral.
A lady tells the writer that through her
whole life all her various Affections have
keen foreshadowed by dreaming of an infant.
The ''child dream" as she calls it, gives her
warning and she begins to droop like a
lower that is partly crushed while waiting
tor a new baptism of sorrow. Perhaps
Jacobs dream of the angels and the ladder
is a sufficient foundation for superstitions re-
garding dreams

believes firmly in its Importance.

To see negro the first thing in the morn

Some brokers on rising in the morning
have a superstitious fear of putting the left
foot out of bed first. Others believe in al
ways putting on the left shoe first If they

spit for good luck.
Many women are superstitious regarding
strange cats. If a cat is found in new
house that house is doomed for the i'll luck of
its occupants. Actresses are said to be super
stitious regarding the appearance of cat on

HIRSUTE IDEAS.
1t is a very old belief that the hair, like the
nails, should be cut only at certain times. An
old writer, with many ingenious superStitions,
says that it should be done at sea. Juvenal
says that the hair was only given to man as a
final offering to the gods There is an old
rhyme that reads:
Friday cut and Sunday shorn,
Better never had been born.
In many places in the United States there
is q maxim that the hair should not be cut
during the waning moon, and few persons in
Iceland cut the hair on Friday.
In many places it is regarded as unfortu-
nate to suddenly lose the hair or any portion
Of it. In England it is said that loss of CHI
dren health or property will ensue. The at
tachment of the Chinaman for his cue is
well known. 1t is regarded as disgrace to
have it cut off, as well as entailing bad luck
upon the owner. In Scotland it is thought
TINT combing the hair by candlelight, or at
night at all, would cause disaster to friends
at sea.
BROKERS' SUGGESTIONS.
Such matter of fact business men as brokers
and spectators also have their peculiar su-
perstitions.
Hundreds of intelligent persons have su-
perstitious reluctance to engage in any i'm
portant enterprise on Friday. This includes
as cool and matter of fact a man as Jay
Gould. Under no circumstances will he use
an elevator. The late Jesse Hoyt, the mill
ionaire grain merchant, would never engage
in any important business undertaking on
Friday, and many of the SPECTATORS on the
big exchanges are similarly superstitious.
They consider every Friday Black Friday.
The prejudice against Friday probably dates
back to the Middle Ages, or to even remoter
period, as the day ON which Christ was ex-
ecuted. 1t is only one of innumerable old
superstitions which still survive.
Many investors and spectators are super
stitious about dropping things. If they find
themselves constantly dropping articles which
they happen to be carrying, they take it as a
sign that they must sell their bonds and
stocks. Many have a superstitious fear Of
holding stocks oyer q. holiday,

ne FRIDAY set SAL on friday. When near
ing the Cape of Good Hope on a Friday a
few weeks afterward she sank, and the entire
crew was drowned. Many old sailors say
that their fear of going to sea on Friday
dates from this catastrophe. In the quarters
of sailors you will find horseshoes, palm like
leaves, nails and many other curious articles
which the sailors keep as fetiches, and in the
virtues of which they have most implicit be-
lief. If, during a storm, birds are swept
