Eating Between Meals.

When man or woman has sufficien
appetite to eat three meals a day, it is
more than unnecessary-it is suicidal
to eat between meals. But this does
not apply to children, who have not yet
brought their appetites under control,
and cannot, or will not, do equal justice
to every meal. The child is often called
early in the morning, long before it has
had its natural sleep, to eat its break
fast. OF course it has little if any APP
petite; a few mouthfuls is sufficient;
and then think of going from five to
seven hours without tasting foodl But,
you say, the child will eat hearty din
ner, and make up for the breakfast.
Possibly; but be assured if it does it
will overload the stomach, causing de-
rangement and Inflammation. But it
is more than likely that the child will
have passed the time when dinner
would relish, and again very little food
is required. The consequence is, that
by and by he becomes pale and thin,
and loses vivacity and color, and puz-
zles prudent mamma by falling into
confirmed i'll health Now we argue
that nature is safe teacher, and when
a child feels hungry his stomach is cry
ing for necessary food. 1t NAV do very
well for physicians to make rules, but
people should remember that all rules
have various exceptions. There is no
doubt but the digestive organs should
have time to perform their allotted du-
ties. We are told, too, that we should
rest at least an hour after eating, be-
fore attempting physical or mental la
Dor. Who obeys this injunction2 Not

little active one, who has houses to
build, farming tools to make, mill-dams

A War Incident.

The Confederate cavalryman was
often puzzled as to how to provide him.
self with horse, says the Washington
Post. The authorities gave him the
choice to keep mounted or 60 into the
ranks with his musBet, as horses were
not furnishe d by the government. To
be dismounted and become foot sol.
der was worse to him than court
martial, and he would risk much in his
efforts to get horse from the enemy.
In the fall of 1868 rebel cavalryman
had his horse killed in skirmish near
Warrenton, and, as his best chance then
was to capture one from the enemy, he
put his wits to work TO devise the ways
and means. He was with the outside
pickets, and not far off, on the pike,
were the cavalry pickets of the enemy.
He procured piece of telegraph wire
from the railroad, and when twilight
came on stretched this ACROSS the
road, fastening one end to the fence
and the other end to convenient tree
just high enough to catch a cavalry
man about the belt. When matters
were thus arranged to his liking, he
started down the pike and stopped in
plain view of the enemy. 1t was not
long before three of them gave chase,
mounted on good horses. 1t was now
too dark for them to see the wires, and
on they came, determined to have a
prisoner. The chase was sharp and
quickly over, so that by the time the
rebel schemer had passed through and
under his trap, the enemy was upon
him. The sequel is not hard to guess.
Two of the pursuers were quickly I'M
horsed, the third being 80 much aston
ished and frightened at their fate as to
turn and beat hasty retreat. The two
horses, without their riders, continued
down the road, and were easily cap
tured by the confederate, who, by his
clever ruse, became their owner, and
kept his place in the cavalry. The two
pickets, left to themselves, hurriedly
made their way back to their comrades
as cresifallen and astonished as two
men could well be. The hero of this
incident tells the tale himself, and adds
that he rode one of these horses to APP
pomattox, and from there to his home,
and that it was one of the best he ever
owned.-Erchange.

Ruskin's Advice to Girls.

See that no day passes in which
you do not make yourself somewhat
better creature; and, in order to do
that, find out first what you are now
Do not think vaguely about; take pen
and paper and write down as minute a
description of yourself as you can,
with the date TO it. If you dare not do
so, find out why you dare not, and try
to get strength of heart enough to look
yourself fairly in the face, in mind as
well as body. do not doubt but that
the mind is less pleasant thing to
look at than the face, and for that very
reason it needs more looking at; so
always have two mirrors on your toilet
table, and see that with proper care
you dress body and mind before them
daily. Write down then, frankly, what
you are, or, at least, what you think
yourself, not dwelling upon those inev.
table faults which are of little conse-
quence, and which the action of right
life will shake or smooth away, but
that you may determine to the best of
your intelligence what you are good
for and can be made into. Girls should
be like daisies-nice and white, with
an edge of red if you look close; making
the ground bright wherever they are
knowing simply and quietly that they
do it, and are meant to do it, and that
it would be wrong if they didn't do it,"

The Truth Saved Him.

One Of the members of the regiment
told story of Honest Captain Wood"
The incident occurred in very cold
weather, and at an important crisis.
"At nighttime" said the narrator,
when we pickets arrived at the out
posts Captain Wood said, 1T is too severe
for the men to face this storm all night
There was u small house close by, and
the captain directed that we should build
fire in it and shelter ourselves as best
we might.
I'VE did so, and weary with march.
ing and lulled by the warmth we all fell
fast asleep. When the officer of the
grand rounds came our way he found a
regular Sleepy Hollow.
"Of course we were reported, and in
the morning we were summoned to head
quarters. Naturally we were terribly
frightened, for sleeping on picket is a
serious offense.
I'VE were ushered into General Will
sons tent. He sternly repeated the
charge. Had we been guilty of sleeping
on our posts? We had. 1t would have
been useless to attempt any explanation,
but Captain Wood, who was present, an
ticipated any that we might have at
tempted.
General he said, 'the blame does
not rest upon these men. | am response
BILE for it all, | gave them orders to
take shelter in that house and build
fire there, and | am to blame. They
would not have been asleep but for me.
How long have you been in the serv-
ice, sir| asked the general sternly,
"a few months, general
al thought so. If you had been here
longer you would have come up here
full of excuses and ready to shift the
blame upon any one at hand. You can
go. Your honesty has saved you. -

Wrinkles are, Of course, the special
detestation OF every woman, and when
they begin to make their appearance,
one of the most perplexing questions is
as to how they can be removed, or at
least the evil hour of their coming be
put off for a time. There has recently
been good deal of nonsense printed
in various channels as to this subject,
and one of the most cherished fads is
that the steamlng of the face will re-
move them. This is one of those half
truths which are simply deceit and dis
appointment. Wrinkles appear be-
cause the fine muscles of the face lose
their tone, the tissue shrinks, and the
skin fits itself to the depressions which
are thus left. 1t is mistake to sup.
pose that wrinkles can be wholly eradi-
Gated, especially those due to advanc-
ing years. Let us "grow old grace
fully" and accept the inevitable with
the best grace possible. A cheerful
disposition will do wonders toward
lighting up the face and making ones
friends forget or overlook entirely the
signs of advancing years. But wrinkles
frequently come on prematurely, and
prove extremely vexatious. 1t is un-
questionably true that proper, thor
ough and careful course of face mas
sage will do good deal to help things,
where the skin has become dull and
lifeless, as will especially happen in
cases of general decline or i'll. health
From two TO four times during each
twenty-four hours the face should be
gently but systematically rubbed, the
best method being to employ fine towel
or a bit of red flannel. The finger ends
answer very well, but it is more diff
cult to use them without WEAKNESS. 1t
will be noticed after few days that
the skin is gaining in tone and vigor,
when the degree of vigor employed
may properly be increased. Bad air
is one of the most potent causes of
wrinkles, and the remedy, of course, is
the getting of good air. Excellence of
the highest degree may not be attain
able; if not, let us get the best that we
can. With good air should come good
living, and plenty of nutritious food,
especially that which has fat-producing
qualities. Massage of the face is well
recommended, using light, gentle, cir
cular motion of the fingers, while much
may be done by cultivating fexibility
and voluntary motion of the muscles of
the face, especially those affecting the
wrinkled portions. And it may not be
amiss, though it be delicate matter,
to suggest that an overworked, thank
less, hopeless life will inevitably
wrinkle the fairest face with burrows
that no agency this side the grave can
remove till the cause shall have been
lifted.-Good Housekeeping.

The Soldiers and the Currency.

1t was only the fortitude and the con-
stancy of the soldiers which made the
bonds or the greenbacks of any value
whatever. Every time there was a
Union victory the value of bonds and
paper money advanced; at every defeat
they fell. If the soldiers had bt come
disheartened during the bloody cam.
paigns of the Wilderness and Atlanta,
as well they might, and said, " We will
fight no more; let us compromise this
thing" the bonds and greenbacks would
have become as valueless as the Con-
federate securities are to-day. Yet,
though the money-lenders have been
paid nearly IS, 900, 100000, the veterans,
who made all this wealth for them, have
not received more than S1,400, 900 900
in pensions. This reminds one of the
way sailor said that prize money was
distributed. He said it was sifted
through ladder. What went through
was given the Ulcers; what the rounds
caught went to the saiors.-New York
Tribune,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-04-26
Shutting our Eyes.

Very miserable people are those who
go through the world seeing too much.
They plume themselves upon their abil-
ity, and proclaim everywhere the won.
derful secrets their sharp sightedness
has discovered. They find out small
delinquencies and trifling offences OF
friends, neighbors and servants. We
are not at all obliged to them for what
they reveal. On the contrary, We are
continually trembling lest our own pet
sin be brought to light, or our friends
dear little secret weakness exposed. 1t
is not hard to gain much peace of mind
by study ing the art of judiciously shut
ting our eyes. Let us refuse to see too
much of other peoples errors and mis-
takes. Nay, more, let us refuse TO see
anything except what we wish to see.
The way is clear, the circumstances are
fortunate, people are well meaning and
industrious, happiness abounds, and we
ourselves are on the high road to fame
and fortune. A FOOLS paradise, you
say? Perhaps. But l doubt if FOOLS
paradise is not better than the heaven
Of people who would carry thither mi
croscopes that they might discover
its possible imperfections. - Harper'S
Bdzdr.
