Arnold Mt TicOnderOga.

1t is in the interest Of the facts of
history that | record my conviction that
Arnold was not with Allen and his
party at the capture Of Ticonderoga,
and did not arrive there until several
days after its capture. ! am well aware
that Ira Allen, in his history OF Yer
mont, and DR.. Williams state that
Arnold, with a commission from Mass
achusetts as colonel, arrived at Castle
ton before Allen left there, and claimed
Of Allen the right to suppaut him in
the command Of the expedition, and
that they state, moreover, that he re-
newed the demand on the morning of
thesl0th of May, when about to attempt
to enter the fortress. Their statements
have been copied by nearly all his
tOrians since, and have been accepted
as true by the people at large. Never
theless, the statements of Ira Allen and
DR.. Williams are directly contradicted
by others, whose knowledge of the
facts of the case and entire honesty
can not be successfully impeached,
and especially by one whose word, were
it not supported-as it is abundantlv-
by Others and by many corroborating cir
lutely conclusive. Nathan Beman was
Aliens guide on that occasion. lie was
eighteen years of age, intelligent and
honest. He had as boy played with
the children of the officers of the fort,
and knew every nook and angle of it.
1t was because of his intimate knowl-
edge of the fortress and the grounds
around it, and his general intelligence,
that he was selected by Allen for this
responsible duty. From the circum.
stances of the case be was by Aliens
side continuously. This Nathan Be-
man must have known the facts of the
matter, and he always and repeatedly
asserted, in the most positive manner,
in after years that Arnold did not ac-
company the expedition, was not pres
ent with the party on the night of the
attack and capture, and did not arrive
at Ticonderoga till several days after
its capture. Beman's testimony was
fully and often cOrroborated by many
others who had knowledge of the facts,
nor did Ethan Allen, in his account of
the affair, make the least mention of or
allusion to Arnold as being present I'M
til after the capture of the fort. The
fact seems to US as firmly established as
competent testimony can establish any
fact of history, that Benedict Arnold was
not with the expedition, and had no
part whatever in the capture of
Ticonderoga.-W. II. II, MWray's

A Word With Girls.

Every girl desires to be attractive,
but many girls make the mistake of
thinking that beauty is the first reQui
site. This is great mistake. The past
winter | have been meeting some
Young girls frequently, and have learned
some lessons. One of the prettiest, if
not the prettiest, of the number is the
least attractive, because she is selfish
Her own comfort, her own pleasure,
appeals to her first, always. She will
make an engagement, and break it with
ont the slight ,st hesitancy. Her beauty
gives her not the least advantage after
the first weeks of acquaintance.
Another Girl, whose best friend could
not call her pretty, is wonderfully at
tractive. The other girls turn to her
for suggestions, and they are usually
followed. If she makes an appointment
she keeps it; if she takes the respOn-
sibility for any part of the work the
girls are attempting to do, she does it
thoroughly. Another girl comes into
the circle, sits down, folds her hands,
and does not even take the trouble to
look interested. Not long ago there
was picture in Harper'S Bazar repre-
senting a young society girl and girl
friend The following conversation
was supposed to be taking place:
" What do you find to talk about, meet
ing the same people so constantly?
How do you manager" 81 just sit and
smile and try 10 look intelligent" The
girl who tries to look intelligent must
have desire to please strong enough
TO make her put forth some effort,
when she meets people, to interest
them. 1t is question whether a thor
oughly selfish girl is ever an attractive
one. There is another mistake we
make that robs us of both power and
pleasure: we think ourselves sensitive
when we are simply self-conscious.
We 90 through the world expecting
people to notice us to the exclusion of
others, to take extra steps to greet us
we decide from some trifing act that
they do not think of US as we do of
them: make ourselves miserable by a
thousand fancies that we should never
entertain for a moment, and actually
think ourselves superior to others be-
cause we entertain such thoughts, " be-
cause we are so sensitive" 1t is not
sensitiveness, it is out-and.ou self
consciousness, which is next door to
selfishness, and, when nursed and cher
ished, is much more pernicious in its
effects on the character. If we study
our own manners, we will fad that we
are constantly resenting what we are
pleased to term " Sights" and as a
consequence are many times rude, and
Intentionally rude. Now we can make
up our minds to one thing. A sensi.
tive person is never Intentionally rude
A sensitive person is quick to under
stand the mood or condition of another
rather than the expression of another
feelings. Sensitive means quicknes:
of understanding as well as quicknesc
of feeling, and brings people closer
together instead of separating them
If we wish to gain the love and inter
est of those whom we meet, we mus
first forget ourselves; forgetfulnes'
that goes far to produce the desirable
quality we call attractiveness, quality
that we find, as we grow older, il
quite independent of beauty. Chris

Coffee Charlotte Russo.

Sweeten and flavor one pint of thick
cream with coffee. Beat stiff with an
egg-beater. Soak one tablespoonful of
gelatine in one tablespoonful of cold
water. Dissolve with one tablespoon
full of hot water. Strain into the
cream. Stir well. Line mould with
lady-fngers. Pour in the cream, and
keep on ice. One tablespoonful of
water will not cover the gelatine, so it
must be stirred occasionally, that it
may all become softened. About three
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar will
be enough to sweeten the cream.
Have the coffee very strong for flavor
ing; one-fourth coffee and three-fourths
water boiled will make it right. Beat
the cream until it is thick, setting the
bowl containing the cream on pan of
ice; this will make it thicken quicker.
The gelatine may be dissolved in hot
water or hot coffee, and then strained
through a coarse cloth or wire strainer
into the cream. The object of using
the bit of gelatne is to keep the
whipped cream stiff. Cut the ends of
the lady fingers square across, so they
will stand up in the mould; leave a
little space between them. Pour the
cream into the center of the mould,
trim the fingers evenly around the top,
so when the russo is turned out it will
keep its proper shape, and set away on
ice for an hour or more. Sponge cake
may be used in place of the lady
fingers. Good Housekeeping.

A Laughable Incident.

Henry NJ. Stanley, although not an
old man by any means, has hair as
white as snow, the effect of the dangers
he has encountered and the privations
he has endured, and he is as shy as
ever. Indeed, his backwardness and
diffidence in civilized society is one of
acter. During his last stay in London.
when he was in such constant demand
in society that life became a bore to
him, he was present one evening at
very swell affair, and the attention paid
TO him was so annoying that he was
delighted when he had an opportunity
of slipping away unnoticed. He found
a quiet corner in the smoking-room
and was enjoying a cigar, when a
spruce young fellow, who, it turned
out, was lieutenant in the navy, came
up and engaged him in conversation.
To SANKEY'S surprise the lieutenant be-
gan to tell him all about Africa, and it
soon became evident that he did not
know he was talking to the great eX-
plorer. Olher listeners strolled in, and
pretty soon there was quite a crowd
listening to the young man telling the
most astonishing things about the Dark
Continent, the Congo, the Shire dis
trict, the native races and so on. At
first Stanley endeavored to correct his
mistakes, but the lieutenant knew bet
ter, and so he permitted him to talk on.
Finally this extraordinary and laugh
able scene was brought to a conclusion
by one of the guests saying: . But,
Mr.. Stanley, you told us" - Stanley"
cried the lieutenant. SIS this Stan
ley, the African eXplorer?n - Ger
taiuly," was the reply. The lieutenant
gave one look around, tried to speak
flushed scarlet, and then dashed out of
the room, followed by roar of laughter,
in which even Stanley joined.-EI.

STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY,

meeting a prominent physician, he
urged her to see an oculist, who dis
covered defective vision. Spectacles
properly adjusted cured the headache
completely. A journalist who had been
much limited in his profession for
years, and feeling certain that he was
not near-sighted, attended sister to
an oculist's office. The oculist looked
at him sharply, asked some questions
about his eyes, which led to an eX-
animation that revealed that nature

One Cause of Headache.

An optician recently said what will
not surprise the thoughtful, that
women's eyes are weaker than mems.
He says that much harm is done by
the careless selecting of glasses from an
opticians tray without having the eyes
tested. He warns all persons who
begin wearing glasses against careless
ness in the first choice, and says that
much of the chronic headache is due to
imperfect or ignorantly selected glasses.
This may be described" he says,
a" technically as being hypermetropic
with mypoc astigmatism, or myOpic
with hypermetropic astigmatism - in
simpler language, being long sighted
with short-sighted astigmatism, or short
sighted with long-sighted astigmatism.
la either of these cases no glasses that
are compounds of convex curves or
concave curves only, even spheres and
cylinders combined, will give relief; it
is only when the exact combination
Of convex spheres with concave cylin-
ders or concave spheres with convex
cylinders, is found that the person who
is troubled can see without strain"

The latest thing in dog-collars would
seem to be more odd than ornamental.
The collar itself is made of white painted
metal and exactly resembles dudes
high white collar turned out at the two
points. Round the collar is a narrow
band made like white cravat, only in
red or blue, and similarly tied in a if
little bow in the front. From the bow
hangs a silver bell, and the collar is
marked inside with the size, the same
as are the white linen ones which it
initiates. Think how deiciously con-
sequential fat pug would look walk

Close all the windows and all doors
leading from the room about to undergo
treatment, open wide each drawer
and closet, and hang the contents over
chairs or upon a clothes-horse brought
into the room for the occasion. Take
piece of gum camphor, as large as
a hazel-nut for an ordinary room Gas
large as walnut for a room twenty by
siXteen), put it in an iron pot and place
the latter within another iron pot or upon
an iron stand. Set fire to the camphor.
1t burns very tiercely, so set it at safe
distance from furniture or hangings;
the middle of the room is the best place
for it, unless this be directly under a
chandelier, in which case it can be
placed more toward the side, as the
heat is apt to injure the gliding or
bronze. The dense smoke soon per-
meates every nook and corner and
suffocates every insect that inhales it.
Canary birds or goldfish are to be car
ried from the room before beginning
operations, and as soon as the CamphOr
begins to burn the operator may leave
the room, as, provided she has taken
the above precautions, there will be no
danger of the fire spreading. The CAM
phor will burn from quarter to half
an hour, but it can be eXtinguished at
any moment by placing over it stove
lid or the cover of the pot, Let the
smoke remain in the room about half
an hour, then open the windows wide,
leaving them so all day. After few
hours airing the traces of smoke will be
scarcely noticeable. All the rooms can
| be treated thus in succession or all at
once, care being taken to guard
against fire. -Harper'S Bazar.

One slice of bread soaked in hot water,
one cup of sugar, the juice and grated
rind of one lemon. Beat well together

A CHICAGO school-teacher saw
group of boys counting the number of
holes in some cards. He called one of
them to the desk and insisted on know
ing what the cards were for The boy
hesitated, but finally said that saloon
keeper who had his vile den near the
school building had given them the
cards, and every time they took a
drink he punched them-one hole for
beer, two for straight drinks and three
for mixed drinks. Every month he
gave prizes. The boy who had the
most holes punched in his card got a
revolver, the second life of Jesse
James and the third meerschaum pipe.

THERE is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

Pretty Months

Should have pretty teeth in them, but
it is not unusual to see between rosy
lips teeth discolored and decaying
through neglect, This dstiguring de-
feet should be repaired without delay
by using fragrant SOZODONT, which
removes every particle of tartar from
the teeth and renders them snowy
white. This admirable aid to beauty is
perfectly harmless and eXhales most
delightful aroma, and is in every re-
spect preferable to the ordinary tooth
pastes and powders. Try it and see for
Yourself.
