A Remedy for Red Hands.

Red hands are often benefited by be-
ing washed in oatmeal water-that is,
take some fine oatmeal, boil it In
water for about an hour, strain, then
night and morning use the liquid to
wash in; it, however, requires to be
made fresh every day, as it so soon
turns sour, and smells very disagree
able. For exceptionally red and harsh
hands, few grains of chloride of lime
may be safely added to the soft warm
water you wash them in but remem-
ber to remove your rings, or they will
be tarnished.

japanese crepe is an admirable and
inexpensive material for covering pill
lows. In dark blue, with large white
conventional flowers wandering over
it, it is most effective. Both chintz
and cretonne make pretty pillows, and
the pillows covered with plain ging-
ham are among the favorites of the
season. Satin-coyered pillows are still
in use. They are made very beautiful
as well as costly by being appliqued
with lace designs.

At canning time the filing of Jars
may be greatly eXpediated by the use
of a grocers funnel, and small milk
dipper is the best thing for ladling out
the hot fruit or syrup. Never use a
rubber the second season if possible to
procure new ones. When old ones
must be employed, drop them to soak
q few minutes in boiling water preyi-
ous 10 using. Set the jars as soon as
coatents are cold in a cool and dark

OVER THE BREASTWORKS.
A Batteryman Tells of Close Quarters at
Franklin.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Just 80
years this coming Nov. 30 the battle of
Franklin was fought. 1t was between Hood
and Schofield. Hood attacked first. The
battle was not long one, only about three
and three-quarter hours, for the light of the
short November day waned speedily.
Wagner's Brigade held the outpost and
received the first attack. He held the
skirmish-line too long, till he lost 1000 men,
700 of them prisoners 1t was moment of
the widest confusion. At the outset the
Confederates captured eight guns, and
broke the Union line in the center. Gle
burne's and Browns Divisions made the
advance.
The flags of both armies waved over the
works at the same instant. Men emptied
their musketS into each others faces. Off
| GERS drew their pistols and fought like those
in the ranks. Gen. Emerson Opdycke SAYS he
was under fire 115 days during the war, and
saw bayonet charges several times, but this
was the only battle in which he saw bloody
bayonets.
At one time the Confederates had actual
possession of 400 yards of the breastworks.
Regimental flags ON both sides were capt
ured and recaptured, and waved back and
forth between the blue and gray. The CO.
lumbia pike ran north and south, and west
of it was the Carter House, and on the east
side, opposite, was cotton-gn. On the
pike, between the Garter House and the
gin, the heaviest fighting took place.
Our battery-the Goth Ohio--was sta
toned west of the Carter House, our left
piece resting within three rods of it. The
Goth had only two sections in this battle

cry Free.
Claims to be q Benefaetor to Weakened
Mankind.

There - always more or less suspicion at.
tached to anything that is offered free, but some
times a man so oyerhows with generosity that
he cannot rest Until his discovery is known to
the world, in order that his fellow men may
profit by what he has discovered. It is upon
this principal that a resident Of Kalamazoo,
Mich, desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any form Of
nervous debility; relieves them of all the doubts
and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly
liable to, aud restores the organs TO natural size
and yigor. As it costs nothing to try the exper-
ment it would seem that any man, suffering
with the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what might
be the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in q remedy which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they con-
tinue to live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of many
years research as to what combination would be
peculiarly effective in restoring to the
strength they need, it would seem that all men
suffering with any form of nervous weak ness
ought to write for such remedy at once. A re.
quest to H. @. Otds Boz Ills. Kalamazoo Mich,
stating that you not sending for the prescription

away his discovery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.

ting erect in the outer rifle-pit, pierced
through the heart by bayOnet.
What terrible baptism of blood was
Shiloh. No pen-picture can convey to the
mind more than q fraction of the awful
carnage; the suffering that took place on
those 9th and 7th days of April, 1862. War
to us had lost all its attractions. Music and
flags, fine uniforms ablaze with gilt was not
war, as some had first thought. No, no
war was not parade. Demands came to
us that must be fulfilled, if our lives were re-
quired to fulfill them.

pearances of the "boys" was plainly seen
after we had passed through this battle.
