THE OFFICIAL TIME.
1t Was Carried by the General and
Had to he Recognized
Such.

The necessity that there shall be only one
man who "has the say in military com
mand is thoroughly recognized in the United
States army. A story is told of Gen. Shat
ter, commander of the American expedition
airy force for the invasion Of Cuba which il
lustrates the punctilio of the regulars in this
regard.
At certain frontier post at which Shafter,
who then held an inferior rank, was com
mander many years ago, discussion arose
among several officers as to the exact time
of day. A captain, with his watch in his
hand, said:
1T is now exactly three o'clock"
"Oh, no, said lieutenant, "by my time
its eight minutes past three"
third officer drew his watch out of his
pocket. Il know my time is exactly right, "
he said, "and my watch says two minutes
past three"
AT this juncture Maj. Shafter looked at
his silver watch.
Il don't know what your watches say" he
remarked, but | wish you to understand
that in this command it is five minutes past
three"
Then the young officers remembered that
the authority OF the commanding officer ex-
tended even to the time OF day ay.--PlttsDurgh

child, and grant thee as much consola-
tion as He has granted mel"
1t is not known how old this little
speech-half prayer and wholly bless
ing - which every Breton mother
makes to her bride-daughter, is. 1t
has long been handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation, and probably
is, for that very reason, the more full
of beauty and of meaning to the sim
pie, but by no manner of means weak
minded, people of Brittany.
There is no stint to the feasting or
the frolic at a Breton wedding, and
there is absolutely no limit to the
guests hidden. The Bretons are as
lavish within their means, though less
extravagant, and as little exclusive in
their marriage hOspitalities as the
Sikhs are. Between 300 and 400 peas
ants have been seen dancing al a rather
humble bridal festival, and thousand
is by no means an unheard-of strength
of wedding guests.
The trousseau is commenced-al-
most at the brides birth by the
brides mother. A Breton bride never
has to wait for her trousseau. Often
the quite completed trousseau has to
wait some years, if not exactly for the
bride, why, then, for the bridegroom.

1t IS not for the mere sake of blanch.
ing that celery is so treated, for, il
this were the case, only self f-blanching
varieties would be used; but it is tc
improve the flavor and to make the
stalks tender. Care must be taken
to avoid heaping the earth so that il
gets in among the branches. Hold
the stems together with one hand
while with the other the earth is
pressed against the plant, leaving out
merely a few leaves at the ends. AS
the tops grow, the earthing up must,
of course, be repeated. Celery is sub.
iect to blight which attacks the cen
ter of the plant. This may be cncour,
aged by soil getting between the stalks
as ii has been found, where the plants
are boarded up instead of earthed,
they are less attacked. - American

ganization known as the Woman's Relief
Corps whose aid to the soldier of to-day,
fighting against the world for living, is no
less notable than the heroism of the COS.
One of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, H., is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once put stop to her
active work. A year or SO ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri-
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reached a critical period of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavailing.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in
dsputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March she took
the first box of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like new woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: 81 have taken
eight boxes, and have been improving since
| took the first dose. | do not believe | could
have lived without the pills. They have doEe
me more good than any physician or any
medicine | have ever tried"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk at so cents box OF
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had OF all
druggists, or direct by mail from DR.: Will
iams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y.

Submerged.

It's pretty tough tale they tell on
the Kentucky man who went to a big
banquet out of the state. He had been
invited to respond to the toast Ken
tucky," and was expected to glitter
and glow. The feast proceeded in
great shape, one wine following the
other-punch galore-heaven knows
what else-and the gentleman from
the state imbibed with cheerful per-
sistency. His speech did not come till
the close of the banquet, and finally
the toastmaster rose and said: Mr.
Bluegrass will respond to the toast
Kentucky" He made some graceful
remarks and looked around Alas!
Mr.. Bluegrass was not visible.
Where's Kentucky?" he demanded
of his fellow guests. Where is Ken
lucky"
Kentucky is under the table," was
the reply, and, sure enough, he was re-
posing under the mahogany, where
not wave of trouble rolled across his
peaceful breast.-Louisville Times.

FUNNY THING IN SPELLING.
Learning TO Manipulate Typewriter
Gets a Man Into Queer
Habit.

A Cleveland man has set about learning
the use of the typewriter. Up to the present
time he has had somebody to do his typewrit-
ing for him, but now he wants to know how
to run it all by himself. He admits that he
isn't an apt scholar. 1t comes slowly. The
letters are hard to find and the spacing is so
easily forgotten. But there is one thing that
amuses him. He is learning to spell and
learning in the same way he did when tow
headed boy in the early Cos OF course he
could spell when he tackled the typewriter
but not in the same way. Now he distinctly
enumerates each letter, and does it, too, with
the greatest care. 1t is funny thing, but he
finds himself spelling out the words in the
newspaper and his wife says he spells them
in his sleep.
The other day the minister met him and
asked him how he was.
Very WE'LL" he gravely spelled out,
and when the pastor looked amazed he real
lied what he had done and hastily explained
the cause of the popularity. And the minis
ter professed to be greatly interested and
wanted to know all about it and the speller is
now greatly worried for fear the parson will
write special paper on it for some maga-
zine.
When the minister finally left him he
shook hands and SAID "Good-by."
Good" began the speler and then rec
objected himself and hastily added "by."
He hopes in time to wear out this peculiar
ity, and when he increases his speed on the
typewriter he no doubt will.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

TO REMOVE STAINS.
Not n Very Difficult Task II You Hap
pen 40 Know How 10 Go
About II.

Coffee, tea or wine stains are rather
difficult to remove from table linen
if they are of long standing and have
been washed with soap, which tends to
set their color, says the Philadelphia
Times. Javelle water-which can be
made at home or purchased from the
druggists generally most successful.
Put about half pint of javelle water
and a quart of clear water into an
earthen bowl. Let the stained article
soak in this for several hours, then
rinse thoroughly in three waters. 1t
is only white goods that can be treated
in this manner, as the javelle water
bleackes out the color.
Sewing machine oil stains can be re-
moved by rubbing the stain with sweet
oil or lard and letting it stand for sew
eral hours. Then wash it in soap and
cold water. For peach or tar stains
rub hard, let it stand few hours and
sponge with spirits of turpentine until
the stain is removed. If the color Of
the fabric be changed, sponge it with
chloroform and the color will be re-
stored Use lemon juice and salt to
remove iron rust, ink and mildew on
white goods. Whiten yellow linen by
boiling half an hour IN one pound
Of fine soap, melted in one gallon of
milk. Then wash in suds, then in two
cold waters, with little blueing.
by putting lace handxerchiefs in
warm water in which are few drops
of ammonia and using CASTLE soap they
are easily cleansed and made beauti-
full, clean white. Then do not iron, but
spread the handkerchief out smoothly
on marble or glass, gently pulling out
or shaping the lace. Just before it
is entirely dry, fold evenly and smooth
ly and place under q heavy weight Of
some kind, and you will find handker-
chiefs lasting thrice as long as before.

In most of the discussions about
what kinds of tood are best, the fact
is overlooked that no food except, per-
haps, wheat, gives all nutritive ele-
ments in their proper combination for
best results. variety of food is need
ed, not merely to tempt appetite, but
to keep the animals in the best health.
This is especially important to animals
that are being fattened. 1t is scar cely
less so to animals that are growing
and which need in some form the ele-
ments that make bone and muscle
rather than fat. The farmer should
understand this and give a variety

The only pig that will attain size
enough to safely pass the winter is one
that is born six or seven months before
cold weather is expected. We have
raised pigs in he fall, and that, tn
when we had the advantage of a basT
ment barn to provide warm quarters
for them. Yet the growth during the
winter, Notwithstanding good feed
was never satisfactory. There is toe
little sunlight during the winter
months, and if the pig is kept warm
without sunlight it is usually at the ex-
pense of poor ventilation. Without
good air no animal can maintain good
digestion or remain heaIthy.-Ameri-

New Mother-in-Law story.

A Cleveland man who went east to spend
his vacation brought home with him what he
thiL ks is a new mother-in-law story, Moth.
er-in-law stories are a drug on the market,
but this one seems to oe little less ITuggy
than usual. A man and his wife went TO
Europe and the mans mother-in-law went
along. Up to this point there is no novelty
in the story. On the voyage the mother-ln-
law fell i'll and died. OF course she had to be
buried at sea, and so the usual canvas sack
was made, but instead of an iron weight to
sink the body they used a big bag of coal In
commenting on the arrangements afterward
the bereaved sonin-law, who suffered bad
ly, said: 'I-always knew where m-m-m.
mother-in-law was ggoing, but b-b-blame me
