war of the rebellion. to the men who perilled
their lives in defence of their country, and
to the women who babe them God-speed

and substance in organized effort for their
comfort, 1t will now be living memory.
But to the younger generation it is but a
matter of history. The aim of the enter
tainment. War "reminiscences, to be given at
City Hall, December 18th, is to reproduce
faithfully the spirit Of that hour. Bellamy's
Stoey of Antietam has been taken for the
first half of the performance. Shortened,
wherever it would not injure the thread of
the narrative, it is admirably adapted for re-
cital. Suitable music will follow each chap
ter. from the first, where The Parting is ac-
companied by The Soldiers Farewell, to the
last, where The Battle Prayer, sung by John
Shaw's Quartette, follows Part V, The Flu
neral. Thurston and Shaw, 1t may ba re-
membered, sang at the frst war meeting,

cleansing, once Il month at least. should be
given to upholstered furniture that is in

with a bristIe brush, but for hancloth a light
switch works the best, wiping OIL the surface
afterward with n damp cloth. Wipe the
woodwork with a damp cloth and if there
arc any dents in it, it is said tho application
of several thicknesscs of wet blotting paper
held in place, till dry, by n warm f%atiron,
will remove the dent, unless n very deep one,
when several applications may DO necessary.
When the woodwork is dry rub with warm

Didn't Care for "Home, Sweet Home"
In the last war of Russia against Turkey
JOIN Bright was one of those who wanted to
allow the car a perfectly free hand. One
day l met him at dinner at n friends house.
/ Knowing my opinions well, he began to dis
cuss the burning question with me with all
the glowing zeal he was wont to show on
such occasions. 1t was in the drawing room
after dinner. a number of other guests
stood near by listening. Our views were
hopclcssly asuider, but tho discussion was
kept up in the most alniable tone.

of the house, an American by birth, came up

Increase of Bad Ewes

Defective eyes arc or tho increase in spite
of all our hygienic teaching. Tho cause lies,
no doubt, in too much study OF books in
early life and in badly lighted rooms. There
should DO at least one square foot of window
to every five square feet of floor in our school
rooms, and that the light should, if possible.
DO allowed to enter from the south or east,
and preferably from the south. The quantity
of light should at least be sufficient to enable
ordinary print to DO read with ease in the
darkest corner of the room.
Then, in addition to this, youth should
have more out of door life to benefit tho eyes.
The eyes arc greatly strengthened by a RE
in the open air. at least the eyes of students
and those who live much indoors twice a day
should be batied in cold water and massagcl
carefully. This is as useful for them as for
weakened muscles. Herald of Health.

for himself:
In the center of the rough log village a man
was mounted on a wagon. Suspended from

or sixty rude backwoodsmen.
Como right this way, ladies and gentle

with your aching teeth; bring up your old
grinders! I'll pull 'cm out, FREQ gratis for
nothing; won't charge you a cent. No pain;
pull em out soft and sweet. Come right
along"
Numbers clambered up into the e
seemingly actuated by no other motive than
to test tho speakers ability to pull teeth
without charge and without pain. A man
with whom | had been talking suddenly de
clarcd that he believed lie would have IL tooth
pulled. After it was out, | asked him if it
had ever ached.
mo, it hadn't hurt yet, but it mout have
hurt soon. We don't git n chance like this
every day"
After the dentist had pulled a tooth for
nearly every inhabitant of the village he pro-
ceeded to fill his pockets with tho sale of q
wonderful medicine that was guaranteed to
stop the aching of the jaws he had operated
upon.-Youth's Companion.
