would permit "no nonsense" as she
called il, with regard to children's likes
and dislkes of food. Acting upon this
principle, she once compelled me to eat
a bowl of warm mush and milk, but it
ended most disastrously, making me

taste it warm, but like cold mush with

If child shows signs of disgust at GER

1t is sound rule for children or adults

wholesome food and the sort they de-
sire. If they want plenty of sugar on

mauds sugar or they would not want

8b SOLDIERS, BUDGET.
The Battle Of Chattanooga.

] wish to call attention to an in cident
or two that occurred at the battle of
Chattanooga. When Sherman crossed
the Tennessee river to take his position
on the extreme left Of the Union army
the pontoon bridge broke before all his
troops had crossed, leaving a part Of
the First division TO report to General
Hooker. who moved on Lookout Noun
tain the first day, and took part in the
far famed battle above the clouds. The
second day we crosse over to NJ ssion-
airy ridge, at the foot of which company
f of the Fourth Iowa vOiunte,r In-
lautry were detailed as skirmishers.
We advanced to the top of the ridge
and halted a moment to rest, when
rebel soldier, dressed in our uniform
rode up from our left, and inquired for
the Rossvile road. When he discov
cred his mistake, he wheeled, laid spurs
TO his horse, and got away, nOtwth-
standing twenty Shots or more were
fred at him. Our skirmish line then
advanc, d some distance east, when we
we've halted and ordered back. When
we had got nearly back TO the summit,
! noticed Union troops filing off TO the
northeast and to the right of an open
field, which troops proved to be our own
brigade and regiment; and all the conn.,
pany took their places in the regiment
except two or three of us who were on
the extreme left of the line. AS we
came back we became lost for the mo-
ment. We came on back short dis
tauce, to the crest of the ridge. Just
then an Indiana regiment came up,
fled in line, aud commenced firing into
our troops on The east side of the field.
l protested, but could do nothing. /
then ran to the colonel of the regiment,
stating that the troops were firing into
our own men. They were then ordered
to cease firing. The Indiana boys then
saw the rebels at the north of the field,
and after firing few volleys the colonel
ordered a charge across the open field,
My comrade and fell in with the right
of that Indiana regiment, and made the
charge. When the engagement was
through, to our great surprise we were
with our own company and regiment,
the Indiana regiment having Tapped
over on the other brigade. ! am not
sure whether it was the Sixth or Ninth
| Indiana volunteer regiment. If any
one of the boys or officers of that regi-
ment see this, / would be pleased to
have them respnnd.-A. L. Plummer,

Sewing on Buttons.

once heard a woman say: "Any
one can Gil tick with straw, but not
one person IN twenty knows how to do
il right" think the same may be
said of sewing on buttons. This is my
way: Have stout thread, double it,
tie a good knot on end, pass needle
through goods, allowing knot to be on
the right side of goods exactly under
the button. Now pass through button
and lay a pin across it so that the
thread will pass over pin each time.
Sew on the button securely. Now re.
move pin and pass needle through but
Ton and wrap thread four or five times
round between button and goods. This
forms a good neck for the button.
Draw needle and thread to wrong side
of goods and fasten with three back
stitches. This way can be fully recon-
mendt d for mems pants and over-alls
and children's underwaists. ] find
buttons / sew on right there, even
when the garment is worn out.-Stock.

Twice Shot Through.

Lieutenant Muncie of the Sixty
sixth Georgia regiment was very re-
mail able man. He was sleud.r, ca
daverous looking man, with apparently
no physical strength, yet he lived
through what would have killed a dozen
ordinary men and is alive to-day. In
the early part of the war he was shot
through and through. The ball struck
the breast bone, and SCATTERING it passed
through his body and came out within
an inch of his spine, between two ribs.
After desperate struggle for life he
recovered and rejoined his regiment.
At the battle of Monacassie creek he
was again wounded, the ball entering
between the corresponding ribs on the
other side of The spine and issuing from
the same hole that the first entered at.
The second shot must have taken the
passage inside Muncie's body that the
first ball made in going in the opposite
direction. He was in prison laler and
appeared to suffer no unusual pain.

Winter. in the Kitchen.

We look almost with envy upon those
f rluDate hOusekeepers whose kitchens
are warm from fall to spring. But the
most of us know that when morning
comes our kitchen will be little warmer
than the barn, and we must make
plans accordingly. IT we have one
room in which fire is kept all night,
we are fortunate. The kinding for the
kitchen fire should be PR pared at
night. If there is no fire late in the
evening, the kindling can be laid in the
stove ready for the match. Fuel
enough at least to cook breakfast should
be in the house. Unless the room is
very cold, the tea kettle and reservoir
should be filed at night. Everything
possible should be made ready for
breakfast, potatoes prepared, meat cut;
if there are to be griddle cakes, they
can be ready except to add soda. In
the morning we can light the fire and
go back 10 the heating stove and wait
Tor the kitchen to warm up little.
Now is the time for us to get the little
chance to read for which we have been
longing, or to write letter. If the
floor is so cold as to cause cold feet, it
is far better TO put on overshoes until
after breakfast. A knit sleeveless
waist or shoulder cape may be needed
that we may work in comfort. / know
of nothing more disagreeable than TO
sit and shiver while eating breakfast.
and so we must do everything possible
to have everything warm. Roll the
table near the slove, have plates, knives
and forks warm and all dishes used to
hold food hot. The cream for the cof-
fee should be warm. In very cold
weather | have even warmed the chairs
for children and old people and they
had hot brick to put the feet upon
while eating.
1t is necessary to have great many
things about The kitchen stove in win.
ter, and it takes a good deal of plan
ming TO keep things looking well. A
number of hooks in the ceiling over
the stove and back of IL will be found
convenient for overshoes, boots, and
mems mittens. Wall pockets back of
the stove for children's mittens and
overshoes and long pole hung near
the ceiling to hang clothes upon will
be found very handy. AT no season of
the year do We appre ciate plenty of light
in the kitchen as in the winter. Win
dows, plenty of them, are a necessity
Winter has liz advantages for the cook
We can make so many things that will
keep and save so much work every day.
Large tin boxes are excellent places in
which to keep bread and cake. We can
make up lot of cookies and large
fruit cake. Mince pies will keep well
and may be eaten cold or put in the
oven and warmed. Suet pudding will
keep indefinitely in cold weather, and
when wanted steam as much as wished
for dinner. Meat bones can be cooked
up and the stock kept and used as
needed for soup. Chickens dressed by
the dozen and frozen against the time
of net d. By thus planning the work
it will be found quite easy to find some
time for reading and study during the
winter months.

Catarrh Cannot he Cured

With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack medi-
cine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
vest physicians in this country for
ears, and is regular prescription.
1t is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such won.

RATIGED BY FIAMES.

The Slate City of Vermont Suffers Heavy
Loss-Panic Created in a Catholic Fair.
FoB the second time within two years,
Fairbaven, the slate metropolis of Vermont,
has been fire swept. Nearly one-half of the
mercantile part OF the town and many tene-
ments were burned last week Tuesday
night, causing a loss of about 80 900. The
dre was first discovered in the first floor Of
large brick block on Main street, in the
dry goods store of j, T. Culver In the
second story of the block a Catholic fair
was in progress, and the hall was crowded.
The women became frantic. made wild
rash for the windows and stairways, and,
but for few cool heads, the loss of life
wonld have been heavy. The principal
buildings on Main street were totally de-
strOyed before the flames could be checked

Closet ROOM.

Closet room is no mere feminine
fancy, but the good sense of the sex.
1t is as necessary to a housekeeper as a
corn bin is TO farmer, or a tool.chest
to mechanic - that she may have
somewhere TO put things so that they
will be out of the way when one wants
to move, and in the way when one
wants to find them. 1t should be am
pie and well distributed, so that she
may not have to be endlessly moving
one thing to get another. If a farmer
had his grain in such shape that he had
to shovel out bushel of oats every
time he wanted bushel of corn, and
then put the oats back again, there
would be sound of saw and hammer in
that barn.

Inconsistencies in the Army.

II would be an incomplete story of
life at post, which said nothing OF the
visits of home sickness, which many
strong men in the West have confessed
to me is the worst sickness with which
man is cursed. And it is an illness
which comes at irregular periods to
those of the men who know and who
love the East. 1t is not homesick-
ness for one home or for one person,
but case of that madness which seized
Private Otheris, only in less malig
naut form, and in the officers quarters.
An impotent protest against the i'm
mutabillty of ume and of space is one
of its symptoms-a sick disgust of the
blank prairie, blackened by fire as
though it had been drenched with ink,
the bare parade ground, the same faces,
the same stories, the same routine and
detailed lille, which promises no change
or end; and with these longing for
streets and rows of houses that seemed
commonplace before, of architecture
they had dared to criticise, and which
now seems fairer than the lines of the
Parthenon, craving TO get back to
place where people, whethtr one knows
the M or not, are hurrying home from
work under the electric lights, to the
rush of passing bansoms and the cries
OF the last editions" and the glare of
the shop windows, to the life OF great
city that is careless of the exile's love
for it as is the ocean to one who ex-
claims upon its grandeur from the
shore; soreness of heart which makes
men while it lasts put familiar photo
graphs out of sight, which makes the
Young lieutenants, when the band plays
a certain waltz on the parade at sun
down, bite their chin-straps, and stare
ahead more fixedlv than the regulations
require. Some officers will confess this
to you, some will not. 1t is a question
which is the happier, he who has no
other scenes for which TO care, and who
is content, or he who eats his heart out
for awhile, and goes back on leave at
last .-Richord Hording DaviS, in Har-
per's Weekly.

Household Hints.

If you are buying carpet for dura-
bility, choose small figures.
Scorer snuff put in holes where
crickets come out will destroy them.
A BIT of soap rubbed on the hinges
of door will prevent their creaking,
If your tiatirons are rough, rub them
in fine salt, which will make them
smooth.
A POLISHED floor can be kept looking
nice by wipiDg it over with cloth sat
urated with milk.
WHEN stung by bee or wasp, make
a paste of common earth and water; put
on the place at once and cover with
cloth.
RUB your lamp chimneys, after wash
ing, with fine salt, and you will be sur
prised at the new brilliance of your
lights.
To clean straw mating, boil three
quarts of bran in one gallon of water,
and wash the mating with the water,
drying it well.
For marks made by scratching
matches across white paint, rub with
half sour orange or lemon, than wash
with whiting, rub well and dry thor
oughly.
BE sure the water is at boiling point
before putting into it the vegetables to
be cooked. If it is cold or lukewarm,
the freshness and flavor will soak out
into the water.
To raise the pile of plush or velvet,
dampen on the wrong side with clean,
cold water; then hold tight across the
face of a hot iron and rub up the
crushed spot with clean stiff brush
IT is claimed that few drops of eau
de cologne, ether ana chlorofor in
equal parts, poured on handkerchief
prt viously wetted with cold water, and
placed on the seat of neuralgia pain,
gives instantaneous relief. 1t is also
very efficacious for nervous headache
PERSONS whose plants mysteriously
sicken and die are warned by DIR. j. w.
L. Thudicum, in a communication to
the London Society of Arts, that only
pure water must be used in watering
them. Impure water breeds sort OF
fungus at the roots, which soon destroys
them.
To polish plate glass and remove
slight scratches, rub the surface gently,
first with a clean pad of fine cotton
wool, and afterward with a similar pad
covered over with cotton velvet which
has been charged with fine rouge. The
surface will, under this treatment, ac-
quire polish of great brilliancy, quite
free from any scratches.

Candy for the Little Ones.

Mamma or auntie will, am sure, en-
Joy making some delicate and delicious
sweets which, if eaten in moderation,
will not iuiure the little ones. Pour
upon pound of loaf sugar as much
sweet milk as the sugar will take up.
Set over the fire and allow it to boil
gently, but do not stir, Try OCCASION
ally by putting few drops into cold
water; when it candies, or retains its
shape, it is done. Add dessert spoon
ful of vanilla extract and beat with a
wooden spoon till of the right cousis-
tency to work into balls with the fin
gers. Dissolve one-half pound of un-
sweetened chocolate by putting into a
bowl over kettle of boiling water. Do
not add any water or you cannot use it.
When it is melted dip the balls into it
with fork, one at a time, and lay on
buttered paper. 1T the sugar graduates
on stirring, it has been boiled too long
and you must add more milk and begin
again. - Rural Life.
