Cut or Thrust?

English cavalry swords are made partic-
ularly for cutting, though with the steel
scabbard 1t is difficult to understand how
q keen edge is to be preserved, and in the
sword exercise cutting is very assiduous-
ly taught, and especially in the yearly
mounted competition for workmanship
prizes the value of the point is impressed
emphatically on the men. But if our cav
airy were to go into action tomorrow can
any one who knows our soldiers doubt that
the greater number of them would at once
begin to cut at their enemyP
They have been taught to cut, and they
will cut quite regardless of the exertions
which they entail on themselves and for
getting that the weapons have points as
well as edges. If we compare the value
of the point with that Of the cuts as re-
CARDS it's effect on an enemy, 1t is immeas-
urably the more effective. In cut, even
if the sword does not turn in the hand and
if the edge falls true, 1t is always more
than likely that it will encounter but
ton, belt or pouch, which will prevent
it from penetrating. The cut, too de-
ponds entirely on the vigor Of the soldier
arm and is not assisted in any way by the
crash and impetus of the charge. Except
in a very small minority of cases, its re-
suits will generally be bruise or a slight
flesh wound.
To deliver q point, on the other hand,
requires little physical exertion. The
sheer weight Of horse and man behind the
sword is sufficient to drive it through al
most anything. If the point does hit a
piece Of metal, it will probably only slip
onto spot more easily pierced, and if it
does enter the body of man or horse q
wound serious, If not fatal, will surely be
inflicted. The heavy cavalry Of Napoleon
were armed with swords made especially
for pointing, and when they charged they
left death in their track.-Blackwood' Is

Rest After Meals.

"After dinner sit awhile" is a time
honored saying, 1t is also very true and
physiologically correct one, for when our
food is undergoing digestion our body is
doing great deal Of important work. If,
therefore, we persist in taking exercise
after food, we are really burning the can
die at both ends" and giving our body
double work to do, with the result that
indigestion sooner or later attacks us. We
should therefore rest after meals-and be-
fore them as well-and the feeling of rest
fulness and indisposition to work just aft
or a meal is natural warning and indi-
cation that we should seek repose at that
time-not necessarily sleep, but quietness
and rest.-New York Advertiser.

Natural Wood ornamentation.

If you are contemplating building a
house, have all the woodwork in its natu-
raj grain and do not profane it with
paint OF enamel A sure sign of the adj
vance Of culture and taste made by the
present generation Is the desire for natu-
raj wood ornamentation. In the long run
1t is much more economical than painted
wood, or it does not require so much clean
ing and no renewal of paint Tho oiled
wood is prettiest of all, and If any grain
ing is rosorted to at all it should be in
dulged in sparingly. Georgia pine takes
an exquisite polish and grain.-Washing-

Home and Abroad.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether at
home or travelling for pleasure or bust
ness, to equip himself with the remedy
which will keep up strength and prevent
illness, and cure such ills as are liable to
come upon all in everyday life. For
instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla as general
tonic, and to keep the blood pure and
less liable to absorb the germs of dis
ease, will be well nigh invaluable.
Change of drinking water often causes
serious trouble, especially if one has
been used to spring water in the country.
From few drops to a teaspoohful of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water
will prevent the water having and injuri-
Gus effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as cathartic,
cause no discomfort, no disturbance, no
loss of sleep, but assist the digestive
organs, so that satisfactory results are
effected in natural and regular manner

A RECKLESS GENERAL.
How the Duke of Wellington TrIfIed
With Great Danger.

WITT OTedI DdnS0Ts
One day the Duke of W ellington's French cook
came to him for orders
ooh, get anything" said the Duke, impatiently,
II never think Of what put into my stomach "
The chef was hcrrifed. Whether Wellington
was punished with Indigestion or not history

don't care what they eat soon find themselves I'M
able to eat anything at ell without agony Their
offended stomachs go on strike, Natural diges-
tion ceases.
What is to be done, then2 One cannot live
without eating. The only possible help is in a
pre-digested food, which science has furnished in
the form Of Paskola. 1t replaces wasted tissue
and invigorates the entire system without aid
from the stomach. Willard Hettrick Of Bridge

This is the story of P. A. Hank of Valparaiso,

BABY RUTH. Parents must use
their utmost intelligence if baby is to get
safely through the summer. Cholera in,
fantum never attacks properly nounshed
children, no matter how heated the sea-
son. Only the weak, dropping babies
succumb to summer complaints.
At the first indication of faulty uour-
ishment, indigestion or diarrh9, the
prudent mother will look at her baby's
diet. If she is trying to nurse baby her
self through the hot summer, she Will
make sure that her milk is capable of
fully nourishing the little one. But If
she finds that baby is not thriving, lac
tated food should be given either as an
additional nutriment or for complete
diet.
No less an authority than DIR. Guern-
sey, the senior editor of the New York
Medical Times, says that he uses lac
tated food with children. He says it is
pleasant to taste and easily digested and
assimiated. The famous DR.. Agnew, as
is we'll known among physicians, was one
of the first to publicly recommend the
food. DR.. j. Lewis Smith, perhaps the
greatest authority in the country on the
diseases of children, professor in Belle
Vue Hospital College, New York, also
commends its use. There are hundreds
of physicians in New England, says the
Boston Journal, who prescribe lactated
food invariably as the nearest approach
to healthy mothers milk, and as a rich
baby food that builds up the strength
and bodies of young children and in
valids,
Lactated food is an ideal infant nutri-
ment. Babies like it. They grow fat
and ruddy when fed on it as an exclu-
sive diet. 1t makes the impoverished
blood of puny children grow rich and
capable of making growing bone and
flesh. All fear of cholera infantum may
be dismissed after baby is put on diet
of lactated food; for the essential ee-
ments of this dread mplaint-impurity
and lack of nourishing qualities in the
food-are absolutely removed, Mothers
may sleep peacefully without fear of be-
ing awakened by feverish cry by night
that may tell of some grave intestinal
disorder.
Babies feed on lactated food gain
steadily in weight and escape summer
sickness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Soutar, who live
on Campbell street, Sandusky, Ohio, owe
their happiness to lactated food. They
write:
"When our baby, Ruth, was sick there
was nothing that would stay on her
stomach. The doctor advised the use of
lactated food, and very thankful we are,
for in short time it worked wonders.
She is now a large, healthy child. Her
age is one year and four months. We
are convinced that if it had not been for
the timely use of lactated food our baby
would have died. We now have another
little one that we are raising on lactated
food, we have such faith in it, and we
also recommend it to all our friends"
