The Soldiers Nobility.

The world-famous raconteur, Thomas
=. Ochiltree, is never at loss to adorn
an otherwise commonplace converse
ton with story of thrilling adventure.
narrow escape, or humorous incident.
Recently at the Hoffman house a mum.
Der of men were tel ing of narrow
escapes, when the colonel told of
close place he got into as follows:
Gentlemen, l was with General Dick
Taylor when he operated against Gen

battle Of Pleas ant Hill, and Banks was
letreating TO Grand Ecore. One day
we got near General Banks army and
General Tay Tor asked me to head

sides aud dashed forward, ordering the
cavalry to follow. Some seventy thou

drawn up in line just on the edge of
the field awaiting an attack. OK coulse

10000 men were waiting TO give warm
welcome to handful of cavalry.
When within 300 yards of the federals,

The Soldiers Fare.

The sentiment of the communities
throughout the country in respect to the
enlisted men of our army is due partly
to tradition and partly to ignorance in
regard to the improvements that have
been made in matters of treatment and
discipline. Scarcely any of the people
realize the comforts a soldier enjoys, far
less the opportunities for moral and
mental Improvement in the service.
How many persons are aware of the
substantial barracks, mess halls, recrea-
ton rooms, canteens and gymnasiums
now provided for our men? Who is
aware that they have wire-woven bot
toms on iron bedsteads, with mattresses,
pillows, sheets and pillow.cases to each
man While in garrison? That they have
china plates, cups and saucers, bowls,
silver.plated knives and forks at table
and an abundance and variety of food
such as few families of the working
people in civil life can command, except
at rare intervals? Tney have books
and magazines and newspapers, billiard
tables, schools and gymnasiums for en-
teltainment and improvement? Very
few outside of the army know these
facts. Army and Mary Gazette.

The Cornerstone of the Home.

Reticence is an admirable quality
within proper limits, but as much
trouble results from extreme reticence
as from its much. condemned opposite,
garfulousness. 1t is a common mis-
take to confound self-control and
reticence; reticent people frequently
take great pride in the thought of their
self control, when their silence and
lack of frankness are causing con-
stantly complications that should and
could be avoided if the rights of all
concerned to full knowledge were
recognized. In the family reticenc9 is
desirable quality only when it re-
strains personal criticism; but in so far
as the whole life of the family is con-
cerned, no family life can, or ever will
be, complete in which there is not per-
feet frankness, freedom, liberty of
suggestion, and consideration for the
wishes and opinions of every member.
Life is 50 short, and the distractions
that separate aud disturb family rela-
tons so certain to come, that it is
worth while to overcome any peculiar
ity of temperament that has the tend
ency to hasten the day when any
member shall feel himself in the family
but not of it. The spirit OF love and
unity in the family is the tonic that
sends wellinvigorated men and women
into the world. The center of every
life is in the home; its perfection
means perfected citizens. There can
not be perfection in the home without
comprehension of the inner nature of
every member of the family, and reti.
cence is wall that not only prevents
egress, but entrance. Frankness, then
accompanied by spiritual politeness, is
the foundation of true family life; with
out it the family is an aggregation OF
persons living for convenience, and
because of custom, under one roof
Christian Union.

sixth rows-Work backward on but
half of the stitches, one double into
first stitch, one-half treble into next
stitch (half treble is like treble, except
the thread is drawn through all three
stitches at once), one treble into each
stitch except the last two stitches,
these are not to be worked upon; turn.
When the sixth row is completed, work
in the same way on the other side, and
then sew the clasps very firmly on the
top of the purse, and a button with
crocheted cover is sewn in the center
at the bottom of the purse. A very
pretty clasp, either in gilt or steel, can
be purchased for sixty five cents.
DOLLS SHOES. The material is an
old glove. First decide on the shape
the high ones are the best, coming well
up the ankles-then cut the form in
paper. There should be seam down
the center of the front and back. The
soles should be lined with flannel and
if possible the sewing should be done by
machine. For a small doll, button
holes are difficult; for large dolls the
shoes may be laced by punching small
eyelets in them.
A SCHOOL BAG.-Make il of broad
cloth Just yard long and about four
teen inches wide, but the size should
correspond TO the size of books to be
carried. A slit of sufficient length for
putting in the books is left in the mid
die Of the seam. The ends are en-
broidered with any preferred design.
Gilt rings connected by chain COM
plete the bag. A lining of some stout
material like silesia will make il wear
much longer.
SOFA PILLows.-Newest sofa pillows
have the cover of India silk gathered
full into frill on all four sides, and are
tied about with broad ribbon crossing
each way, and made into full soft bow
in the center. Very attractive yellow
pillows are made in this simple style,
crossed with deep orange band tied in
an Empire knot.

A WONDER WoRKER.-Mr. Frank
Huffman, young man of Burlington,
Ohio, states that he had been under
the care of two prominent physicians,
and had used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption
and incurable. He was persuaded to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found, be-
fore he had used half of a dollar bottle,
that he was much better; he continued
to use it and is to-day enjoying good
health. If you have any throat, lung
or chest trouble, try it, We guarantee
