1 only moment. Smarting froln the hl0Ws hs had received he arose with an entirely unlocked for recuperation on the part of the fallen, and in direct def ance of historical example; in spite of the men of both nations, he whipped the immortal Washington until he roared for mercy.
 The Americans, at first mortified and indignant at the conduct of their chief, now began to sympathize with him, and resolved to whip their mock foes in earn est. They rushed tiercely upon them, but the British were really the stronger party and drove the Americans back. Not content with this, they charged madly upon them and drove them from the field - from the village in fact. There were many heads damaged, eyes draped in mourning, noses fractured and legs lamed-it is wonder that no one was killed outright.
 Washington was confined to his house for several weeks, but he recovered at last. For time there was a coolness between himself and Cornwallis, but they finally concluded to join the whole county in laughing about the surrender.
 They live now. Time. the artist" has thoroughly whitewashed their heads, but they are very jolly still. On town meeting days the old Squire always rides down to the village. In the hind part of his venerable yellow wagon is always bunch of hay, ostensibly for the old white horse, but really to hide glass bottle from the vulgar gaze. This bottle has on one side likeness of La fayette, and upon the other may be seen the Goddess of Liberty. What the bot tie contains inside I cannot positively say, but it is true that Squire Wood and Lawyer Jones visit that bottle very frequently on town meeting days and come back looking quite red in the face. When this redness in the face becomes of the blazing kind, as it generally does by the time the pol's close, short dia- logue like this may be heard:

EATING FOR STRENGTH.
The Proper Foods to BE Used to Affair
This Object.

| The Proper Foods to BE Used to Attain
This Object.
There are two things to be considered
in eating for strength, first. that the
food should be very nourishing: second.
that it should be easily digested. There
are some articles which are very nutri-
tiOus, and yet so hard to digest that it
is not deSira bic to use them. On the
other hand there are some foods. not so
very rich in nutriment, and yet SO easy
of digestion that they may be used adj
vantageously. 1t is a popular fallacy
that hearty foods, so-called, are the
most strengthening. People usually
mean by hearty foods those which
are very difficult to digest
those which literally stick by
the ribs. The so-called light diet
made of rice. wheat and other grains,
fruit and milk, is really much more nu-
tritious and nuch more easily digested
than bill of fare into which flesh foods
enter. The lumberman says he must
have pork because it sticks by the ribs.
SO it does very literally, roast pork TAX
ing five and a half hours for digestion.
Such food has staying qualities in the
stomach. but not for strength. \ stay
ing quality like this is something like
the Indians taking up an extra notch
in his belt when he can not obtain food.
In order that we shall economic our
powers to the highest degree, we should
take food which is really the most nour-
| ishing and the most easily digeSted.
From this standpoint we will consider
lean beef with it's nutritive properties
twcnty-eight per cent. 1t takes roast
beef three hours to digest; broilcd, three
hours: fried. four hours: corned beef,
four and one-half hours. Only one,
fourth nutritious material and yet re-
quiring from three to four hours for di-
gestion. Rice is eighty-seven per cent.
nutritive material, and yet it only re-
quires one hour for igestion-one-third
the length of time required for the di-
gestion of beef, and three times as
nourishing Hence rice is worth nine
times as much for strength as is beef.
Where does the OK get his strength,
the elephant, the rhinocerous and the
gorilla? The gorilla can snap a rifle
barrel like the twig of a tree. If ne
kills a man, It is only done for self
protection, never for food. Yet if
hunter was exceedingly hungry, he
might eat the gorilla. Some hunters
profess to be very fond of monkey
steak.-Dr. j. II. Kellogg.

Milk for Calves and the Churn

A Canadian exchange tells how one
of its readers manages to get feed for
calves and at the same time milk rich
for the churn, as follows: At milking
time two large vessels are put outside
the barn door. one marked dairy" and
the other calves" One-haf of the
milk given by each cow, that drawn
first. is put into the vessel marked
"calyes," and the other half, that last
drawn, is put into the vessel marked
''dairy." This latter half is found on
being tested, to contain from two
thirds to three-fourths of the cream.
The calves have the advantage of being
fed with milk warm from the COW: at
the same time they are reared at mod
crate cost. as their allowance of milk
does not contain much cream.

Everyone knows how, when Sir Wal

was lost during a thunderstorm, and
found by the alarmed searchers, lying
on his back on the hillside, looking at
the lightning, clapping his hands at
each flash and exclaiming: Bonnie
Bonnie!' But story of the same kind,
with Schiller. the German poet, as the
hero, is not SO. well known. One day
while a very small boy, a severe thunder
storm came on: the boy was missed and
could nowhere be found. The whole
household searched for him: but it was
not until the storm was past that he
was seen descending from the top of a
high lime tree near the house. To the
inquiries of his father as to his motives,
he replied: Il only wished to see where
all the fire came from. N. Y. Ledger.

TOLD IN ART CIRCLES.

MISS AIMEE RAPIN is an armless Swiss
artist who is beginning to achieve fame.
She paints with her toes.
P. a B. WIDENER, of Philadelphia,
bought ,750 worth of pictures at the
late Seney art sale in New York.
Mr.. SENEY, the Brooklyn art patron,
who has just now sold a choice collec-
ton, says he thinks the four greatest
living painters are Cain, Knaus, Inness
and Israels. The last leads the Dutch
school.

food for poultry at this time.
SET the hens now as soon as they are
ready, providing them a warm place.
Ok small farms poultry and small
fruit growing can be combined to good
advantage.
If the poultry must be confined SOW
a good bed of lettuce to provide them
with green food.
If feed for the young poultry must be
purchased millet seed can be used to a
good advantage.
Asa general rule it will not be found
best to attempt to keep more than fifty
hens in one house.
A HEN that is scared off her nest every
time anyone approaches should not be
used for Matching.
HENS are often obliged to leave their
nests on account of lice; it is important
to keep a lookout for them.
LIMEwATER will not only often cure
indigestion, but also often cure the hens
of laying soft-shelled eggs.

help themselves will furnish the mate

How to LenSthen Basques.

The home dress-maller should mod
ernie basques of wool dresses by
lengthening them in coat shape. To DO
this cut off the lower edge of the basque
in deep point in front. a much shorter
point in the back, and have still shorter
sides; turn up the edges and face with
silk. Under this add coat skirts of the
length desired made of darker wool or
silk or velvet. These skirts are shaped
to the hips, lined with silk, and sewed
to the lining of the bodice just below
the curve of the waist. Ten or twelve
inches is good length for them. If
the basque is fer very slight figure. a
simple plating of the dress material
may be added instead of the closure coat
skirt, as the plaits give the effect of
larger hips. y plated lace fiounce can
be added to silk asques.-Harper' Ba-

Cote VS.. Tea.

A New York tea dealer says that in n
few wears coffee will not be in the race
with tea and that the number of tea
drinkers is increasing greatly. Now in
England the people drink tea as much
if not more than coffee-while here we
have nation of coffee drinkers. Look
at the big tea houses now prospecting
in this country. The demand for the
seductive weed is becoming greater. es-
pecially in large cities. Fashionable
afternoon teas, and the fashion of hand
ing tea around at receptions show just
how it is being drank. The fine Ceylon
tea now in vogue is a healthy drink and
has a splendid favor. All through the
west coffee is becoming less popular
and tea is the popular drink.-Chicago
