The Bombard,nent OF Atlanta.
Is Americas Greatest Medicine.

When Sherman bombarded Atlanta
for forty days and fred hundreds of
shells into the city, comparatively
few citizens were killed. The fortifi-
cations of the city were common
earthworks of red clay, and it is said
they were about as good after the
siege as they were before the first
gun was fired. The shot and shell
poured into these banks of dirt seemed
to make them bigger and more inde-
structible. The first shell fell in At
lanta July 90, 1864, and killed little
child. During the first few days the
shells terrified the people, but after
week or so even the women became
accustomed TO them. A number of
casualties followed, one shell explod-
ing in funeral procession, scatter
ing four coffins and dispensing the
mourners; another burst in the mar
ket-house, but did not injure any of
the thirty people present. During
the bombardment hundreds of stores
kept open all the time, the newspapers
came out as usual, ard the streets
were crowded with people; yet in the
entire six weeks there were less than
one hundred persons killed in the city.

each front is extended to form big

Carving as an Art.

Only persistent practice and def
mite knowledge make carving pleas.
ure and success. Neither illustra-
ton nor diagrams are of much assist
ance in learning this art. AS dis
tinguished authority on carving says
in his monograph on the subject: ell
lustrations cannot prove hopeful be-
cause the actual thing before us bears
faint resemblance to pictures, these
being able to give us only surface
with no hints of what may be inside. {"
By right of precedence, the carver's
chair belongs to the head of the house,
either father or mother, but WEAKNESS,
preoccupation, or, more often, a par
ent's pleasure in contemplating the in
creasing deftness of q clever son or
daughter in presiding over and prop
erly distributing a joint, fowl or fish,
leads the elders to resign in favor of
the youth when guests are not pres
ent.
Carving at the table, it is said, is
now considered not only useful art,
but social accomplishment as we'll.
A practical knowledge Of its process
should be part of the education Of
all young people.
Children should know how to carve
by the time they are fifteen years old.
In France boy is required to take
his turn in cutting and serving meats
at the table as soon as he is strong
enough to handle the knife and tall
enough to readily reach the joint OF
fowl. Sometime he stands upon a
broad stool made for the purpose, and
he is proud when he is successful, and
ashamed when found imperfect. =
