When to Avoid Candy.

Sugar is one of the best of the fat
producing foods, and for that reason
is bad for person, young or old, in
whom there is tendency to accumu-
late too much fat. The converse of
this is true-it is valuable food for
those, young or old, who are too thin.
1t is also valuable, because it is easily
digested. to those who are weak, who
suffer from a lack of animal heat, and
who need building up. Not too much
of it, though, because there are ele-
ments needed in the body which sugar
will not supply. Sugar is exceedingly
satisfying to the appetite. 1 know a
man who was an officer of cavalry dur
ing the civil was, and on one occasion
during a raid he found an opportunity
to fill his haversack and both saddle
bags with brown sugar. The men Of
his command did the same. 1t was
four days before they were able to get
a supply of rations, and during that
time they lived on the sugar and were
perfectly contented with the diet.
This story points to one rule which
may be safely laid down for all Can
dy should not be eaten Immediately
before meals by either child or adults,
because it will destroy the appetite
for other food, and that other should
be taken first, beause of the food ele-
ment found in it and which is not
found in candy. In other words, the
supply Of sugar should be adjusted to
that Of other foods in natural and
common-seuse-way proportion. DR..

Tie Value OF Minutes.

A party Of ladies and gentlemen
were lately visiting a large carpet
mandatory, and the manager took
them over the different floors of the
establishment. On ascending one of
the stair cases they came to a lock-
ed door, on which the following
inscription was painted in white let
ters:
strangers not admitted under any
circumstances.
The curiosity of the ladies was ex-
cited to high pitch and they inquir-
ed, almost in one breath, Whatever
is to be seen inside p
"That is one of our work rooms in
which $50 women are employed en-
broidering carpets answered the
manager.
"Oh how we should just like to
have peep at them y exclaimed the
ladies'.
II am sorry I cannot comply with
your wish," said the gentleman with
shrug Of his shoulders, "but the
rules do not admit of the slightest ex-
ceptios. Truth to say, there is moth
ing to be seen, nor is there any ques-
tion of trade secrets. The reason why
admission is forbidden to strangers is
simply because every woman natural
ly looks up, and her attention is dis
tracted from her work from one to five
MINUTES, supposing, now, each woman
wastes couple of minutes in this
way, that will make in the case Of $50
women, loss to the firm of 300 min

duties up with the rest and they are
far from easy. He will get pretty
sore and stiff from constant drilling;
he must be a room orderly and must
help to cook. He will get worn out
and sleepy on guard and tired of the
messroom.
If he is fortunate enough to gain
the approval of the commander, he
will be made a corporal then he is in
for commission and more privileges
will probably be granted him, not to
interfere with his strict duties, but he
can study and read. At leisure mo-
ments he will 60 through a course of
military tactics and take advantage,
maybe, Of the post school. He will
rise on good behavior and patience
and intelligence, to first sergeant, the
highest rank of non-commissioned
officer. When his two years are up
his commander informs the colonel of
the regiment Of his application for a
commission and he goes up for exami-
nation. Only one man is allowed
from each company, and the best man
gets the commission. If he is so for
tunate he is made second lieutenant.
If not successful, he can study for
another year and apply. And this
can keep on until he is twenty-seven
years old. With the commission he
is entered into aristocracy. His pay
is 81, 400 year in the infantry, un-
mounted, or 81 500 year in the cav
airy. He is given a house, but he
pays all other expenses. He then
stands just where he would had he
graduated from West Point, and his
promotion will be in routine, either
from the usual upward move or deaths
or retirements.
The examination for a commission
from the ranks is very strict. His
past life, mental, moral and physical
deficiencies are sounded and criticised
until one wonders how man ever
passes.
Said an army officer to me once /:
"Why, they will find out if you shook
your finger at your mother in your
cradle, and if you shook it very hard
it indicates vicious temperament
and you are disqualified"
| knew young fellow who was dis
missed for unfair work on race track
years before. The fellow had done
nothing wrong and had studied hard
and was very much of a soldier. But
he was sent back to the ranks and was
never able to rise. Once wrong,
always wrong, to an army bard.
Each promotion that offers itself
has to be entered by examination. A
boy who is ambitious to be very
wealthy must not enter the army for
that purpose, although there are some
rich officers who knew how to invest
their money. Living in very reasona-
BILE and clothes are not expensive.
A second lieutenant gets 81 400, a
first lieutenant 81, 800; an adjutant,
81, 300; major, 800; lieutenant col
onel, $4,000; colonel, $500; briga-
dier general, $500, and major gen
eral, 81, 500.

Sam Jones on President Cleveland.

Rev. Sam Jones, fresh from Texas,
came to town last night to talk about
''Manhood and Money" and the usual
very large and very enthusiastic au-
dience crowded into the Marietta street
opera house to hear what so entertain
ing talker had to say on so interest
ing a subject.
The lecture throughout was in Mr..
Jones characteristic style-replete
with vigorous and humorous express
ion and the audience showed every
sign Of delight. Particularly did the
storm of applause swell into an uproar
when he held up as the highest type
Of manhood the president Of the United
States.
Independence and courage of con-
viction are the two essential elements
Of true manhood" said the great evan
gelist with force, "and no character
in American history embodies these
essentials more than does Grover

MIR. Cleveland has stood most OF

pot politicians and little pot editors of
this country, and stood squarely, un-
movable, unpurchasable and unim-
peachable. When these little editors
and pot politicians would jump on
him, it reminded me of the story of
the gnat that lit on a steers horn and
began to paw up sand and beg to be
allowed to stay where he was. The
steer looked up at him and said, If
you'd. kept quiet I never would er
known you were up there. daughter

"And so Mr.. Cleveland seems to
have said to the little fellows who op-
pose him: But for your noise and
odor I never would have known that
you were in the country True to
his convictions, independent in spirit,
he stands the finest illustration Of the
two ESSENTIALS of manhood-inde-
pendence and courage-of any citizen
within the borders of the United States
today" Enthusiastic applause.)- y

The Tortures of Thirst.

'sNo one can conceive the tortues Of
a man who suffers from real thirst, :"
said S. r. Jacoby, Of Ouray, Col. II
underwent the awful experience once,
but can hardly convey hint of what
I suffered, although it is vividly i'm
pressed on my mind. There are no
words in English or Spanish to tell
the story, and I know no other langu-
ages. It was in Wyoming in 1883.
With two companions, I was doing a
little prospecting, and we had bad
luck. One morning I made up my
mind to try a range of hills about
thirty miles away, across what seemed
to be well-verdured valley, and my
chums refusing to 60 further on what
had proven to be wild goose chase,
said goodbye and started back for
Cheyenne. [ started off and hadn t
gone more than five miles when [ came
to desert land. There was not stalk
of vegetation in sight. The ground
was covered with lava and scoria that
had rotted under the suns of thous-
and centuries. I never imagined that
the desert was more than a few miles
across, and as there was a haze hang
ing over it [ went straight ahead. L
had only a small canteen, which held
brandy instead of water. 1t was be-
fore noon when I began my journey
over that waste. Before night my
horse had fallen, and [ was suffering
pangs of agony. l had no brandy left
and everywhere was desolation as dry
as chalk. I killed my horse and drank
some of his blood. Then I threw my
self down and slept. No opium eater
craving for his drug ever had such
horrible dreams. They awoke me and
I got up and staggered on in the dark
ness. All the demons Of pain in the
universe seemed to have settled them
selves right between my shoulder
blades, and were holding carnival.
Ten thousand million red-hot needles,
with rusted sides, were playing in and
out through my tongue, and the top
of my head felt as if some giant had
hold Of it and was trying to pull it off.
I couldn' t cry out, because my tongue
was numb and useless from the pain.
When morning came I just beheld the
outlines of wagon in the distance.
With a superhuman effort I gave
shrek and then I knew no more.
When [ regained consciousness was
in bunch of hay near fire and two
or three men were looking at me. [
learned later on that my scream had
been heard by party of prospcctors,
who were skirting the desert in order
to make short cut to the Montana
cattle trail, and that at first they
thought it was some wild animal, but
one of the party insisted on search,

Her Name.

The gentlemen of the house of the
new neighbor was a charming person,
in the opinion of pretty Miss Kathe-
rine Medley, who lived next door and
saw him going out in the morning and
coming home in the evening.
He was clderly-that is, his hair
and whiskers were white and he was
such fatherly old gentleman that she
couldn't help but love him, even if he
had lived next door for only two
months of that lovely June, when
Harold Ashbrooke had become SO
much to her
Possibly she loved the old gentle
man because as he passed the house
and saw Harold and her talking on the
piazza he always smiled cute little
smile to himself, as if he knew the
whole story and understood every word
of it.
But, of course, he did not, for she
didn't even know him, and he had
never presumed on his proximity as a
| neighbor to speak to her.
One morning as she stood on the
piazza steps humming merry tune,
for Harold had told her many things
the evening before, as they sat in the
shadows Of the vines and she was very
glad, the old gentleman came out of
his house.
He was very radiant over something,
too, and there was that in his face
which almost tempted her to speak to
him, and tell him her joy.
She thought she heard him whistle
as he stepped on to the street, and she
grew bold enough to come down to her
own gate to get good look at him.
She stood there unconscious, as
people always are who want to see
people without having people think
they are being gazed at, and she
watched him furtively, though she was
looking straight across the street.
When he reached her he stopped.
Then she looked around really star
tied, for this seemed almost firta-
tion, and only last night Harold had
told her so much.
He took off his hat, bowing grace
fully, and spoke with smile that
mace her smile in spite Of herself.
81 beg your pardon" he said; "is
this Miss Dear p
"No," she said, IT am"
"h1iss Darling p he interrupted
politely.
"No; II and her face looked
like puzzle.
"Miss Love ?" he interrupted again.
Now she began to grow angry, and
her face Redeemed. Yet she could not
comprehend his actions.
II am Miss Medley" she said,
haughtily.
"Oh, I beg your pardon" he ex-
claimed, with that same funny little
smile she had often noted; "but /
thought differently. AS came home
last night I heard the young man
talking to you on the porch, and he
called you Katie Dear, and Katie
Darling, and Katie Love to such an
extent that I really wanted to know
your name, and"
But he did not finish the sentence.
She had fed into the house, and it was
a week or more before she recovered.

The Last Resort

He was plunged into the vortex Of
perplexity, and the girl was standing
resolutely upon the brink, gazing down
at him.
He looked up at her helplessly.
"And you object to my calling SO
frequently?' he said.
"Ycs," she nodded.
"And I am not to be your escort on
all occasions, as heretofore?'
"No.
"Nor call you by your first name?'
"No."
;'Nor think of you any longer as my
sweetheart"
"No.
He gazcd upon her, as one standing
upon the shore gazcs upon receding
ship.
"Well,'' he groancd; "the end of
our romance has come, and we must
get married.

cleaned in triumph.
