woe or cafe, with ffeckies scattered on
my face and hayseed in my hair; I'd
like to rise at A CLOCK and do hundred
chores, and saw the wood and feed the
hogs and lock the stable doors; and herd
the hens and watch the bees, and take
the mules to drink, and teach the turkeys
how to SWIM SO that they wouldn't sink !;
and milk about hundred cows and bring
in the wood to burn, aud stand out in the
sun all day and churp, and churn, and
churn; and wear my brothers cast off
clothes and walk four miles to school,
and get licking every day for breaking
some old rule, and get home again at
night and do the chores once more, and
milk the cows and feed the hogs aud cur

admired from his grand qualities of pa

Virginian, in comfortable circumstances

man of wealth. The terrible struggle
left him without slave, and stripped of
means for making living, with no tools
and no profession. Reconstruction days
days came on and those who had been
slaves were anxious to lord it as masters.
The colonel did not despair. He put a
couple of horses together, secured an old
carriage, and in the city near. the farms
he had once owned commenced to drive
hack. 1t was CALLING; but he made the
best of it, and worked faithfully until he
finally found something more congenial
and profitable. To this day he delights
in telling the humors of the hardships he
endured when he was a hackman. ION

A Test Case.

A corpulent gentleman stood IN front
of the Providence depot recently. His
immense head was elevated high in the
air, it looked as if he were watching a
balloon; but the Journal representative
hadn't heard of any balloon ascention,
and upon glancing upward could see
nothing unusual.
The rotund gentleman was soon the
center of large crowd, each staring SOL
emily at the wintry skies.
"What's the matter, anyway; what are
you all loOkin' at?" asked shriveled- up
lady with a pair of green goggles pro-
tecting her eyes.
AS no one knew, the lady received no
definite answer, whereupon she muttered
"Nevcr saw such pack Of fools before, y

A policeman came along, and he, too,
gazed aloft. Seeing nothing, he said
"Move on here, don't be blocking the
sidewalk, or oil pull yez all in, so OF will
The crowd melted away, and the fai
gentleman walked over to the depot and
entered. The Journal man asked him
what he had been looking at.

also abounded. One evening as the train
from the south drew up at the depot a

wearing . stoyepipe hat. He was eyed
curiously by the conglomerated mass of

Wasp Waists No Longer Admired.

Let discussions of the natural proper
tons of the female figure come before
the public as practically as in recent
comparison of the physical requirements
for the proposed statue of Justice as COM
pared with the requirements from a
classical standpoint, the Venus de Milo
being the model, and let dramatic critics
of high rank declare openly that the
wasp wasted, tight corseted actress suf-
fers every time in comparison with those
gowned far more gracefully in easy gar,
mentS, and it will not take long to bring
about the desired revolution in the mat
ter of healthy, sensible dress for women.
When the fashion chit finds that her
pinched in waist is regarded by the other
sex as a deformity and not a mark of
beauty, she will cease cultivating the
same, and when blind followers frd
that the sensible gown is, after all, tie
graceful, beautiful one, which high
toned actresses wear most frequently,
they will surely follow suit.
Modjeska and Mrs. Bernard-Beere are
both good examples of the ease and grace
possible in every attitude when unham-
pered by tight fitting garments. Mod
jeska long ago abandoned the corset as
a great hindrance to perfect freedom of
movement. Women have had a waist
so long they cannot believe the fact,
which is nevertheless true, that natu-
rally there is positively no waist line
Artists declare there can be no beautiful
attire till women believe this truth aud
force the modistes to recognize it by
making gowns which from neck to foot
shall be one and indivisible. A promi.
nent Brooklyn artist who watched the
last Sunday school procession declared
it was actually painful to see so many
deformed women and girls. Hither;C
what the people have said has seemed to
affect matters little, but if reform is
started on the stage it will spread, as
there are many women who today copy
their styles from those of a new play

Nursing Malarial Fever.

This begins, as many acute dis
eases do, with a chill followed by
fever, which subsidies after a time
and is followed by a second chill,
writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil
in the second of her valuable ar
ticles on Life in the Invalid's
ROOM" in the May Ladies' Home
journal. These recur at regular
intervals and give the fever one of
its names, intermittent or remit
tent. The doctor usually prescribes
large doses of quinine, or smaller
doses often repeated.
The nurse must try to promote a
reaction during the chill, bv hot
bottles or hot water bags at the
feet and under the arms, covering
the. patient with warm flannels
and giving warm drinks, warm
lemonade, hot milk, etc, but no
stimulant without the doctors per-
mission. When the fever comes
on ice and cold water NAV be

Before the Doctor Comes.

Many woman has helplessly
Wrung her hands when disease has
stepped over her threshold because
she had no remedies with which to
fight the enemy, writes Helen Jay
in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
Perhaps the doctor cannot come or
she has no one to send for him,
and the drug store is miles away.
Every wife and mother should
in some degree at least, learn
what to do in an emer-
gency of this kind, and she should
never be guilty of that crime
against the well-being of her
hOusehOld-an empty medicine
chest. She should see to it that
the hOt-water bags or bottles are
always ready for use, and that the
jar is full of mustard. \ bundle
of cloths for bandages and plasters
should be with these, so that no
matter how great the panic into
which she is thrown she cannot
fail to find them. To get the pa
tient into bed, surrounded with
hot water bags, after soaking the
feet in hot waetr and"mustard, is
to fOrestall some of the good offices
of the best physician. To restore
failing circulation there is nothing
better than mustard plasters, made
with hot water, and placed upon
the sole of each foot, the back of
the neck, each wrist and the
stomach.

Why Indians Do Not snore.

1t is pity we don't learn few les
sons from the original inhabitants of
this continent and profit by them. Who.
ever heard an Indian snore? If Indians
never snore why should the paleface
I'll tell you why. Indians have, from
the beginning, lived and slept in the
open air. Snoring simply means sleep
ing with the mouth open-a most un'
healthy as we'll as hideous custom, the
proper sieve for the air being the nose,
For Indians to breathe through the
mouth would be to offer a receptacle fol
many an unwelcome guest, as well as &c
warn the enemy of their presence. TIC
guard against such evils, Indians are
taught to keep their mouths shut from
earliest infancy. Many a time I've
watched Indian mothers close theil
babies mouths after putting them tc
sleep. Habit finally becomes second
nature; hence the Indian is the most
silent of animals.-Kate Fields Wash
