 A HonK-MApK PAPER WEIGHT.
 Here Is new suggestion for making paper weights, which are valued bits of desk furniture, and acceptable gifts to . scribbler ct all seasons of the year. A small square or eblong box is packed with sand, as the first step in the process, then the lid is shut down and covered over neatly with e piece of felt or velvet. The bottom of the box is covered in the same way, the pieces being large enough to be drawn over the edges and secured to the sides with strong paste or glue. The sides are then covered with a strip of cloth, or of ribbon of just the right width, drawn tightly around and secured at corner with close and firm stitches. If cloth is used felt Is to be preferred, ss 1t must have sn edge that will not ravel. es- E y

Fan m dO Their Duty.

Everybody has at times failed to their
duty towards themselves. Hundreds OF
lady readers suffer from sick headache
nervousness, sleeplessness and female
troubles. Let them follow the example
Of Mrs. II. Herbechter, Stevens Point
Wis, who for five years suffered greatly
from nervous prostration and sleepless-
ness, tried physicians and different medi-
ciues without success. But one bottle OF
DIR. Miles Nervine caused sound sleep
every night and she is feeling like new
person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Lara
mie City, Wyoming, who tried all other
remedies, declares that after three weeks
use of the Nervine for headache, nervous
prostration, etc, she was entirely relieved.

Captain Lesueur's Battery.
from the ST. Louis ReI ublic.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
LANCASTER, TEXAS, Feb. 24.-Capt
A. A. Lesueur, of Missouri, was pro-
NOTED from lieutenant to captain of his
battery,,for the. meritorious conduct of
sitting on the right leader horse of the
battery until six shells of the largest
size had been thrown at him from the
gunboat Tyler, and had exploded over
the hill 20 PAGES beyond him when he
was ordered by his general TO dismount
and command the battery.
Another gallant act of Captain Le-
sueur's occurred at the battle of Jen-
kins' Ferry. Ark, which was related
to me by Col. Thos. Murray of Par
sons division. All who participated
in that battle are aware that il was
fought in the timber; and in timber
so dense that Gen. Price believed it
impossible to take in battery unless
the trees should he first cut away
This we had no time TO do, because
General Marmaduke and General Lap
pom we're already engaged and sorely
pressed and in need of aid.
We had marched all night before
the battle, had rested and had eaten
our breakfast near an open field and
near the timber into which we were to
enter, when Gen. Price rode up and
with that affection which was peculiar
to him when addressing an officer said
"Son, it wounds my pride TO know
that the timber is so dense you cannot
go with me and take your battery"
"General Price," said Lesueur, "l
have young, stout and willing horses,
and timber which you think will have
to be removed by the AK of the sappel
will be as flexible when dashed agains,
by my battery as the bow in the hand:
of the Huntress Diana. Let me show
you how saplings three, four and five
inches around will bend to these horse!
and this battery"
"Let me see, said Price show rap
IDLY you can run off saplings and tree'
of that size and also avoid running
against trees foot to four feet in di
ameter.''
"Nlount," said Lesueur to his rider
and show General Price that these tree
are no greater obstacles than weeds.
The men mounted, and the trees O
the aforesaid size were swayed by tn
axles of the battery as the grass o. tn,
fields is swayed by the hare.
After running 200 yards at the rat
of a mile in ten minutes, he was calle
to halt by Gen. Price, and in less tha
three minutes was ordered to the relic
of the distressed Marmaduke and Lap
pom, whom he reached in Is minutes
and poured grape and canister and ray
biscuit into the ranks Of the enemy
until they jumped behind the banks G
the Saline river and the branch whic
emp,ies into it near the ferry, and re
mained there until they were hurle
from their recondite position by tn
divisions of General J. G. Walker an
of General Parsons.
Had Lesueur not arrived when
did the brigades of Marmaduke an
Lappon would have been captured.

A YOUNG MOTHERS DANGERS.
The Sea of Advice That Threatens to Over
whelm Her.


One OF the dangers which beset the
feet of q young mother is the sea OF i'd
vice which threatens to overwhelm her.
She may be an intelligent, educated
woman, who has studied and read ex-
tensively upon the subject of the needs
of childhood: she may be aware of some
peculiarities in the constitution of her
child, which require different treat
ment from the majority of children:
she may have the advantage of capa-
BILE medical supervision, but not all
this can save her from being deluged
continually with suggestions and ad-
vice from every one who ever has had.
or who equally has not had, anything
to do with a baby.
Any one who has any intelligent
knowledge of that wonderful bit of
me chanism, baby, would not dare TO
prescribe any but very simple and
harmless remedies for indisposition,
but the woman who knows nothing
will advise the most heroic measures,
and il is wonder that more helpless
victims are not slain by thoughtless
advice.
| We have often wished that every
young mother could say when advice
is pressed upon her by irresponsible
persons, Are you willing to take the
consequences of your advice? II my
| child falls i'll as a result, will you as
sumo the anxiety, the care, the ex-
pense? II he is injured, mentally or
morally by following your suggestions,
will you consider yourself wholly re-
sponsible?"
II is because of tins absolute free
dom from consequences that people are
so ready with their advice. Hold them
TO the consequences and they would
be silenced.
The only safe road is to press on un-
hindered by advice. unless given by
people who know what they are talk.
ing about And this latter class will
not be apt to press their opinion upon
any one unsolicited. and will give a
thoughtful one.
There are abundant opportunities for
. mother TO learn how to care for her
child properly and intelligently. and
though the mother who has brought
up. perhaps, four out of eight children,
in utter disregard to all hygiene and
the laws of health, and is perfectly
satisfied to be ignorant Of any better
method, will say that she neve,
"bothered" with these new ways, and
her children all did "well enough" ye'
there is higher aim than ''wel
enough" for which the thinking WON

What Causes Pimples ?

Clogging of the pores or mouths of the seba-

The plug of sebum in the centre of the pimple
is called blackhead, grub, or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging of the pores
to continue long, hence,
Inflammation, Tain, swelling and redness,
later pus or matter forms, breaks or is opened,
the plug comes out and the pore is once more
