BITS OF BATH LORE.
THE MILK nATn.

THE MILK BATH.
Some Of the recipes for this fav0rlte
bath are very elaborate, but all Its virtue
lies in the pure tincture Of benzoln
which may be mixed, II one likes It, with
rose water. When the bath-tub is half
full Of water pour tincture Of benzoin
into it until the water Ia white AS milk.
A previous rub with hot water and soap
will make this milk bath all the more
efiectual In hardening and whitening the
skin, every pore Of which ii invests with
delicate and refreshing fragrance.
THE BRAN BATH.
This does not mean peck or so Of
meal stirred into a tub OF water, and q
subsequent visit from the plumber. Peo-
pie who have proved the efficacy OF bran
or oat meal baths keep bags OF cheese
cloth In the room, into which the oat
meal may be filed. They are as easy TO
use, when properly made and not stuffed
too full, as a sponge or towel. A good
mixture for filling these bags consists of
oat meal into which has been shaved n
small quantity Of CASTLE soap, scattered
over with powdered borax. A jar OF this
can also be kept in the bath room. Ii
cleanses, strengthens and softens the
skin beautifully.
TEPIp, HOT AND DRY BATHS.
The first Of these Is most popular and
best adapted to most people. A no,
bath, taken once week, will be found
necessary for cleanliness, however, and
adds much to the beauty OF the complex
ion. A dry bath can be taken at any
time, by any one, and is very beneficial,
as il starts impeded circulation, opens
the pores, and frees them OF scaly parti-
Giles. Liquid ammonia is good agent
for softening hard water, as 1t cltanses,
stimulates and purifies the flesh. A full
bath, taken just before retiring, not only
rests and purifies the bather, but leaves
the system in good condition TO renew
its vitality.

BATTLE OF SEPT. 20.

AS the light dawned Sept. 90, the atmos-
phere was murky and full of vapor, like
London in a fog. At daybreak Gen. Rose
Grams in person rode all along his line with
his chief of staff, Gen. James A. Garfield,
and other aides.
Gen. Rosecrans made some changes in his
line, bidding McCook make the right shorter
and more compact. He found the same fault
with McCooli's alignment of the right wing
that he had done at Stone river: the line was
too long and thin. The commander-in-chief
directed Crittenden, on the contrary, to
spread his divisions out more and farther to
the left.
The Union troops were very carefully
posted. so as to cover both the approaches to
Chattanooga, over the Rossville and the Dry
Valley roads The two roads came together
at Rossville.
The commander felt sure that the attack
would be made on the Union left. He there
fore sent orders to Negley to move up to Gen.
Thomas. At the same time McCook was to
close of the gap left by Negley.
Then Rosecrans moved off to the left, where
he believed the battle would begin Re-
turning once more to the right, he found that
his orders to McCook and Negley had not
been obeyed.
Rosecrans repeated the orders peremptor-
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1895-09-20

Gen. Thomas organized the three fresh di-
visions at once, Reynolds on the right, Pal
mer in the center and johnson on the left.
They attacked Cheatham's flank. Brannan's
aivislon, still in fighting trim, came against
Cheatham on the front. The Confederates
fell back in confusion.
But now great clouds of Confederates ap.
peared on the west bank of the Chickamauga.
There seemed no end. TO them. Behind
Cheatham was A. p. Stewards division from
Buckner's corps. 1t contained $500 med
As Thomas pursued Cheatham's flying col
umns, Stewart attacked Palmer so vigorously
that he was forced back.
Van Cleve's division came to the support of
Palmer who formed Thomas center in the
column organized TO pursue Cheatham.
Behind the Confederate division of A. p.
Stewart were two more, those of Hood and
Bushrod johnson. They followed up the at
tack of Stewart strongly, driving back both
Palmer and Van Cleve
1t was now near o'clock in the afternoon.
The roar of battle was growing more and
more terrific. The Union troops listening
anxiously down at Crawflsh Spring, knew by
the veering of the sound gradually to the
westward that Thomas men were being
driven. The divisions of Wood, Davis,
Sheridan, and finally Negley, were sent one
after another to the scene Of action. Van
Cleves Union division was hurled back
next Reynolds; next Davis was driven.
Wood came with his division in time to stay
briefly the victorious Confederate tide, when
he too was about to succumb.
But Gen. Phil Sheridans division came on
just in time to save Woods division and the
day. Half past brought Negley's division.
1t went into the fight on the hard pressed
center and hurled into the Confederates vol
leys of shot that they could not withstand.
They retreated, and Negley pursued them
till night.
ID. H. Hill, on the extreme Confederate
left. ordered an attack during the day of the
10th at Glass mill, not far from Lee 81 Cor
don's mill. One of Breckinridges brigades
was crossed over the Chickamauga and made
an attack on Negley's division that had been
left at Crawfish Spring. But Negley's divi-
sion was hurrying to the Federal left to the
aid of the hard pressed forces there.

would have been an admirable piece of tao

only part of Longstreet's corps present at
the fight of Sept 10. The rest had not yet
arrived. The Federal line extended from
Crawfish Spring on the south to Kelly's
farm on the north, a distance of five miles
Bragg's order contemplated first the cross
ing to the west bank of the Chicka-
manga in the order named, then a gen.
eral movement from the Confederate right
toward Lee & Gordon's mill, on the left,
and a vigorous attack on the Federal
line as the move was executed from right to
left.
1t will be seen that the attack of Gen.
Thomas on the Confederate right before
Bragg's army was ready, on the morning Of
Sept. 10, changed this plan of battle.
1t was Forests cavalry that Gen. Thomas
troops met and attacked on the road to Reeds
bridge early Sept. 49, The attacking Union
force was Brig. Gen. John T. Croxtons
brigade.
Behind Forests cavalry were two brigades
of Confederate infantry. Croxton drove the
cavalry back upon the infantry. These brig
AIDES, Ectors and Wilson's, in turn advanced
and drove Croxton back upon Baird and
Brannan. Then the Confederates were
beaten back like a receding wave again by
Baird and Brannan.
There were, however, many more Confed-
crates than one brigade across on the west
bank of the Chickamauga in the vicinity of
the Reeds bridge road. Gen. Baird, after
driving back Ector and Wilson, paused
briefly to rearrange his line At this mo-
ment Liddell's whole Confederate division,
1900 strong, struck him.
The Union troops receded again, "as q
wave beaten back from the shore" When
the Union wave receded, it left stranded on
the place where it had been LOOMS battery
and Bush's Indiana battery. These were
quickly taken possession Of by the victorious
columns of Liddell.
Bairds broken lines were melting away in
confusion. Liddell's Confederates fastened
jubilantly after them, when suddenly the
pursuers found themselves confronted by a
long, grim wall of blue and steel.
Baird had managed to reform his division
on the right. In addition, one of McCooks
divisions from Crawflsh Spring had arrived
in the nick Of time.
Only for this arrival 1t would have been
hard for Thomas to save his left on the 70 >
noon of Sept. 49, Gen. Rosecrans himself,
apprehensive for Thomas, had ordered Nc
Cook to send johnson to his assistance. The
distance was five miles, and johnson arrived
only Just in time.
