in mid-afternoOn came out upon the
bank Of deep. narrow stream,
opposite to the only road in the Vi

Fortune had led me to where a
picket party Of seven soldiers were
posted. having little flat bottomed
skiff tied to the root Of cypress
tree. Watching them until they went
back few yards to eat | crept into
the stream and swan over. keeping
the tree between myself and them,
and making for the skiff. Gaining
the bank undiscovered quietly cast
loose the boat and tloated behind it
around the first bend, where | got in

could where liberty was at stake.
Hour after hour padded. while sun
shine passed into twilight and that

At last | reached the mouth of the
Roanoke and found the open sound
before me. NV frail boat would not
have lived a moment in the ordinary

later he was advanced to the grade
of Commander, and, had he lived,
would now be the senior officer Of
the navy. But, fighter pure and
simple, the return of peace robbed
him of his occupation. Thereafter
he seemed to suffer from the appar-
ent lack or absence of a strong pur-
pose. In September, 1874, his reason
suddenly left him, and three months
later he died, leaving half man

very much trimmed. sometimes we see
the basque portion cut in m With the
waist, and sometimes added on. In
other instances the GOAT or basque eff

the front is slightly pointed " quite

made by leading French coatmakers

ranged in effective surplice folds In
side square or tiny rounded jackets Of
some heavy textile.
Evening toilets show stylish loops
and ends of ribbon on the shoulders,
the loops alone or mingled with airy
frills of plated silk muslin. The half
low bodice shows the still popular Wat
tcau bow of medium-wide ribbon
placed between the shoulders at the
backs, the ends falling low on the dress
skirt. OF ribbons alone are made very
charming girdles, bretelles, vests,
gimps, surplice waist front, jacket
fronts, panel pieces, fichus, pu(Ps for
slashed sleeves, blouses, collars, cuffs
and little mouchoir muffs or chatelaine.
Many of the demitrained dress skirts
are cut with nine cores; and at the back
some are b~ox-plaited and others fan
plated.
Huguenot caps are added to the tops
of many of the short, full, pulled sleeves
of evening bodices.
Peplums, which are added to Russian
b~louses, jacket bodices, surplice waists
and similar garments, are shaped in va
rious ways. Some are crenelated, 9TH

German broadcloth in dark Russian
red, or the favorite blue shade of the
winter, is noted among elegant models
in redingotes and other enveloping gar
ments of the season. Some of the very
expensive wraps are lined throughout
with fur, notably a very beautiful blue
garment made in Huguenot fashion,
with odd, stylish sleeves, q passemen-
terie girdic and lined with chinchilla.
Another handsome model is a cape of
blue German broadcloth. lined with
mink fur and trimmed with dark
brown silk cord ornaments. There Is
also an immense revers collar of mink
around the neck. A third wrap. with
Russian blouse features, is made of red

CARE OF THE TEETH.
An Important Factor I'm the Preser-
walton of Health.

walton of Health.
Most people have a general idea that
It is wise to take care of the teeth, and
accordingly do so, as they suppose.
They rub u brush hurriedly two or three
times over the front of the teeth be-
fore going to bed, or or getting up in
the morning, and think they have
cleaned their teeth.
The Importance of sound and ser
viceable teeth as an aid to health can
not be overestimated, for upon their
good condition depends the thorough
m~astication of the food, which is the
first, and not the least, requisite of good
digestion. Many a person doses him
self with all sorts of remedies to aid
digestion, when the real cause of his
dyspepsia may be found in the poor
state of his teeth.
The proper time to brush the teeth
is after each meal and at bedtime. Be-
fore this is done all particles of food
should he removed from between the
teeth by means of a toothpick, or. bet
ter. dental floss. Then the should be
brushed thoroughly with a brush of
medium stiffness dipped in tepid water.
Very hot and very cold water are equal
" harmful.
The brush should be used with an
up and down movement. and not side
ways only, and the backs OF, the teeth
should be brushed even more carefully
than the fronts. for it is there that tar
tar tends to accumulate. Many think
that tartar Is harmless. but this is On
erroneous belief, it's accumulation is one
OF the principal cause of the loosening
of the teeth. and it's presence exposes
n constantly to the recurrence of
gumboils.

keeps the teeth white and better look
ing. but II Is not absolutely necessary
when the toothbrush Is used regularly
after each meal. Rinsing the mouth
after each brushing with some pleas
ontly-1avored antiseptic solution helps
to avert decay of the teeth.
Finally, not the least important point
In the a of the teeth is a regular
semiannual visit to the dentist. that he
may examine the teeth and fl at once
any beginning cavity. In this way the
teeth may be preserved. accidents ex-
cepted, for a long lifetime. and the
natural teeth. even when filed and re-
paired, are many times better from
every point of view than any artificial
ones.
Nearly as important as the preserva-
tion of the permanent teeth Is that of
the milk-teeth in children. but this Is
a subject that deserves to be consid-
cred in an article by itself.-Youth's

OEEICERS. MARRIAGES.

thai in the Acknowledgements army the
number Of officers authorized to con

these totals being reached. all further
marriages must be deferred pending
the occurrence Of vacancies in the mar

regulations. which fix the income of the
fancee at n minimum of from 1900 to

the result that the number of marriages
occurring under actual provisions does
not exceed more than an eighth OF the
total number, seven-eighths Of the Off

EfYectuai.
Very few needlewomen in this coun-
try look upon the oct of darning Is an
accomplishment OF which they may be
proud. The old-fashioned d~arning stitch
was an exact one. It demanded the TAX
ing up of about two threads. and skip
ping of four. Embroiderers Use this
stitch to cover the ground of some of
their designs. 1t is a very pretty and
effective kind of work.
Stocking-heels are frequently run"
or darned In this way when they are
new. to make them wear longer. The
darning of cloth. however. is q little
more careful art than that of stocklnet.
II often happens that n valuable gown
Is torn and can only be saved by an PIX
pert darn. which Is done so skillfully
that II becomes invisible when pressed.
When the cloth Is heavy this is on easy
matter. because the needle can be care
fully run between the two surfaces of
the cloth. Silk thread Is the strongest
material to darn cloth with. but some
times. when there will be no strain on
the work. a ravelling of the cloth may
be used because they match better.
When inserting q patch be careful TO
match the grain of the patch with the
grain of the cloth. and darn down the
edges Of the tear with ravellings Of
the patch. Press the work when done
on the wror~ side.-N. Y. Tribune.
