BED AND BEDDING.
Two Fashionable Modes Employed In
Dressing the Sleeping Couch.

Dressing the Sleeping Couch.
The sham bed, with it's huge square
pillows and beruffied covers, is practi-
cally out of use. The only pillow used
on the bed with families of good taste is
the oblong one, which is not too large
for use. The large square pillow was,
in fact, never used. 1t was only gor-
geous show piece to display a more gor-
geous sham.
There are but two ways of dressing a
bed for the daytime in fashionable use.
One to use pure white counterpane,
folded in conventional manner below
the bolster, on which oblong white pill
lows are laid covered with pillow-cases,
either hemstitched or ornamented with
drawn work. The other is to upholster
the bed, using a colored spread of silk,
cretonne or other rich, suitable ma
terial, with round bolster, which is
covered with material similar to the
coverlet and is fastened to it perma-
nently and finished at each end with a
rosette or an upholsterer's tassel.
Where bed is furnished with demi-
tester + half canopy, it is rather more
desirable to upholster it in this way.
Where it lisa plain wooden bedstead, in
n country bedroom, a fine white coun-
ter-pane and linen pillow-cases are in
rather better taste. Separate pillows
should be used on the bed in the day
time from those in use during the night,
in order to keep the bed looking neat
and spotless. If one desires to take a
nap during the daytime, a lounge should
be provided in every bedroom for this
purpose wherever it is practicable. ALI
English bedrooms are fitted out in this
way, with a simple lounge with nova
BILE cushions and comfortable pillow.
Where white counterpane is used or
where the bed is upholstered, the day
coverings must be removed at night and
the night pillows and holsters, In case
of the upholstered bed, are put on.
This is moments work and it is al
ways the duty of the housemaid to at
tend to this at night to prepare the bed
for slumber as much as it is to make the
bed in the morning. yet it is very often
neglected and left to be attended to by
the guest

keep them out OF the way.-Gaivestou

SMALL SHOT.

The largest number of men enlisted
from the thirteen states of America
during the revolutionary war was s9,,
761 in 1776. The aggregate of troops
furnished the Union army in the war OF
1S61-65 was 2,320,27
PROBABLY the tallest G. A. Il. veter.
an is William p. Boyne, of Green coun.
ty, Pa, who stands seven feet in his
stockings. During the war he was a
private soldier in the Twenty-second
Pennsylvania cavalry.
ONE of the old soldiers who was in
Washington during the recent reunion
carries on his body forty-eight scars,
and exhibits an empty coat-sleeve and
an artificial eye, all the result of q
bursting shell at Gettysburg. His
name is j. f. Chase, veteran of the
Fifth Maine Cavalry.
The late Gen. John Pope, by dating
one of his orders Headquarters in the
saddle" prompted the confederate COM
mander, Robert Il. Lee, to perpetrate
what was said to be the only joke of his
life. "What can you expect" he is
credited with saying, 'of a general who
puts MS neduqudrters Wherc his Elnu'
quarters ought to be?"
GEN. LoNGsTREET, one of the most
famous of Lees corps commanders,
speaks in high praise of the bravery
and skill of the late Gen. John Pope,
whose qualities he had good occasion
to appreciate and remember Long
street says that no one could have dono
better under the circumstances than
Pope in the struggle of August, 1862. in
Virginia.

It May Be Interesting to Know

That when excursion rates are made to Chi
cago for people who live in the East, to en-
able them to attend the Worlds Fair next
year, it is contemplated by the Western
roads to also make excursion rates from
Chicago to all principal business and tour
ist points in the West, Northwest and
Southwest,so that those who desire to spend
a few weeks among their friends in the
Great West, may have an opportunity of SO
doing without mourning much additional
expense. 1t may be well to consider this snb-
ject in advance of actual time of starting,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee ~ St Paul Rail-
way Co. has issued maps and time tables
and other instructive reading matter, which

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THEN AND NOW.


IT, A. N-wAshiNsroN' ies-'
From the wide and wind-swept prairics,
From tho uplands and the lowlands,
They thronged In q mighty host
Forth from the towns and cities,
With the speed OF the rushing train,
They hurried, the dear old fellows,
To answer the roll again.
Then they fell into line and column,
With the gallant colors streaming,
And the fiery music played
And they marched as in the old time,
Though here was the tap of a crutch,
And there droop OF m empty sleeve
Tansling the heart in its clutch.
The heaven of mid-September
And women smiled their Welcomes,
And children waved a a.nd.
There were mirth and greetings only
In the wake OF this latest camp,
Though the death thinned ranks remembered
The past In that sturdy tramp
Remembered long procession,
Back from hundred battles.
With banners grimcd and rent.
Boys with their gaunt pale faces,
The friends of hunger and thirst:
Men who had looked through the gates of hel
And dared the devil his worst.
Up from the Mississippi
From the Wilderness and from Gettysburg;
Those soldiers came toiling back
Are these the same, one ,naryels;
Does the old light CLEAN and shine,
AS they follow the fife and bugle
In the long unwavering line?
Aye, verify! Here are the comrades
With brown heads turned to gray,

New York.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock market
during the greater part OF the day was active
and strong, with further advance in prices
in majority of the issues traded in. There
was confident buying of the grangers Louis
vile & Nashville, Lackawanna Union Pa
cifc and other leading stocks, the i'm
provement in which was equal to HGl2Ia
per cent The improvement, however was
subsequently lost not only i'll these stocks
but in the general list as well, on account of
a determined raid OIL American Sugar which
carried that stock down from 10 TO 1854. A
good many stop orders were caught on the
way down, the execution of which accel-
Grated the decline.
There was undoubtedly considerable liqui-
dation for the long account but the bears
put out additional short lines not only in
Sugar but in Dlstlllng and Cattle Feeding
and Chicago Gas as well as In the railway
shares During the last hour Reading and
yielded a point or so from the high
est Baltimore Il Ohio and Chesapeake

yanced 21s and27s respectively, reacted about
half a point While the industrial stocks

the changes in railway shares were compare
lively slight. Reading and Missouri Pacific
lost l. Rock Island a8 and the others still
smaller fractions. On the other hand, Union
Pacific and Burlington & Quincy left off a
shade better.
The Post says; Probably the bears will be
heard from pretty continuously from now
on, regarding the new congress and the in
dustrials and they have an advantage in the
bad speculative name enjoyed by all such
stocks, except one or two.

But 1t Was Big Enough to Give a

Boston Advertiser.
Mis-. K was left widow with two or
three children. One of them died;
another, a daughter. married a man
who soon left her, so that the mother
had to provide for the grandchild, as
we'll as her own family. This was diff
cult, and soon the stock of supplies got
low and there was no money in the
house, Oh which also mortgage had to
be met. One day the son, a Schoolboy,
came in to say that Miss D., neighb0r.
rather noted for being Close" had
given him five cents for shutting her
cellar door. This five cents seems
to have been the only capital of the
wild OW and her little family, though l
had she made her condition known to
her prosperous neighbors. That would
have injured the story. however, and l
am glad that she did not get the loan.
but invested her sons earnings in a
popcorn, as she by inspiration did.
With some mO!asses she had left in the
jug, the corn was soon made INTO fifteen
of those sticky but enticing cornballs
which have coaXed many copper out
of schoolboy's pocket. The town
school was close by.and before noon they
were all sold for cent apiece
and the little capital trebed. ''Quck
returns and large profits" was the
maxim of this merchant-which seems
to have worked well in this instance
at any rate, after fourteen years of
trade in the village of Plymouth, at the
old stand, Mrs. K. is now the owner of
her own house, without mortgage:
has money in the bank; has educated
her children Cher grandson is now four
teen years old), and has very much in
creased the variety Of her merchandise.

MAKING PROGRESS.

Western Managers Agree on Some
Details Of the New agreement.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE committee OF
Western managers continued i'll session
today working out plan for division
of competitive traffic in the territory OF
the Western Freight association. I'm
portant progress was made. So far as
Southwestern Missouri river traffic is
concerned, an agreement was perfected,
and there was a practical adoption OF
the details with respect to business 10
and from Colorado points. The com
mlttee then adjourned until Monday,
when it will take up the Northwestern
problem and endeavor to establish the
points at which o division of tonnage
may be effected under Chairman Mldg-
ley'S plaD.
The Missouri Pacific has not sent
representative to the meeting. and has
notified the committee that, owing to
previous engagements. it will not be
able to do 50 until after Nov. %. Some
of the committee express the hope that,
after an agreement is completed, the
Missouri Pacific will not refuse to sub
scribe to it. Others are less hopeful.
They declare that the Missouri Pacific
is at present getting more than its leglt-
innate share Of westbound business by
cutting rates, and that it will retain Its
advantage as long as possible.

Trade Not Interrupted as Usual

The presidential election has interrupted
business to some extent in ali parts of the
country during the past week, but by no
means as much as usual. and at nearly all
points the volume of trade has been fairly
maintained, and the unprecedented activity
of induStrials has onl been interrupted by
the election holiday. The money markets
have not been disturbed. though working
someW hat closer at several Important points
and foreign necessities aud the scarcity Of
commercial bills have caused some decline
in foreign exchange.
Receipts of products at Chicago were cur
tailed, but wholesale trade was large, and the
demand for money is heavy, the West draw
ing largely upon the Chicago supply. Less
than the usual interruption occurred at St.
Louis. The railroads are crowded offerings
of grain being unusually large Cold weather
improves trade and collections at Milwau-
kee; some improvement is seen at 81. Paul.
and trade a Minneapolis is materially better
than last year.
The government crop report indicates
smaller yields than were expected-of wheat
only 800, 100000 bu, of corn only 10000 bu,
and decidedly small yield of cotton. Wheat
is stronger than a week ago. with no greater
change in corn and oats but moderate trad

Stepping into drug store, she asked TO

the lady, and she went away with her
letter. ~
Her next trial was at large dry goods
