has been passed every ships boat has
swung from it's davits into the water,
and minute later every boat is thcr-
oughly provisioned and watered.
Within four minutes, and often in
much quicker time, every man of the
ships company, from the commanding
officer down, is occupying the station
in the boat called for by his ships
number. and then the command
Sheer Off is given. The boats are
hauled away couple of hundred feet
from the deserted vessel, and she
rides without human soul aboard
her, often when the drill is gone
through in midocean, in sea that
the landsman would account terrific
Then the word 'Boardp is passed, and
within eight minutes at the most all
hands are not only on board again,
but every boat has been relashed to

water instruments and other gear have
been removed and the ships company
is in a fair way to get to sleep again. "

Sneezeweed, or sneezewort, other
wise known as "staggerweed," !" is q
smooth, branching perennial plant,
one to three feet high, with thick,
lance-shaped leaves and showy yellow
flowers. 1t grows commonly in moist
ground. The whole plant, especially
the flower, is acrid and pungent.
When powdered, it causes violent
sneezing, and is used in medicine to
produce that effect. Sheep. caltle
and horses are often poisoned by it.
One instance is recorded where sew
eral persons were poisoned by eating
bread contaminated with the seeds of
sneezeweed. The nature of the poison
is not known, but it exists principally
in the flowers. Symptoms are diff
cult breathing, staggering, extreme
sensitiveness to the touch, and con-
vulsions. New York Sun.

Squirrel Hunters In War.

One captious critic who comments
upon the fact that the volunteer troops
at Chickamauga are unprepared for
war sneeringly remarks: "Many of
these raw soldiers know nothing about
handling a gun, except such expert
ence as they have had in shooting
squirrels.
That criticism may be desel we'd, but
the squirrel-hunting point is not well
taken. Anyone who knows aught of
sport or woodcraft knows that he who
can shoot squirrels can shoot any
thing else. To be squirrel hunter
one must have quick eye, an un-
erring aim and good Judgment.
Spaniard shooting is an infinitely
easier task.
The squirrel hunter already has won
an enviable position in the military
history of this country. The "squir-
rel hunters" of New England were
the first to try their craftsmanship
on British red-coats in 1776. Com

war, and taught the British General
Pakenham to respect American marks
manship. In the great Civil War
many companies of expert rifemen,
detailed for service as sharpshooters,
were known as squirrel hunters"
and if the boys at Chickamauga equal
their record on the battlefield, the
Nation will have good cause to remem-
ber them gratefully. The boys who
can shoot squirrels are all right

When a Maiden Marries.

She must not expect to find the
married state an enchanted garden of
happiness, where never a weed nor q
thorn grow. She will certainly have
many times of trouble and WEAKNESS;
but she must, with brave heart and
indo,nitable courage, face the new,
unbroken life which, along with fuller
Joy than she has hitherto known, lies
before us. She should never allow
even her mother to criticise and find
fault with the behavior of the man she
has taken for better, for worse. She
should do all in her power to make
the home the daintiest, cosiest little
nest imaginable, so that the husband
shall be only too glad to spend bis
evenings there, instead of going off to
''his club" She must bear in mind
that no man, even the dearest fellow
in the world" can bear with good
temper being kept waiting twenty
minutes for his dinner, or finding his
shirts minus their complement of but
tons, and his socks full of holes. They
should not forget that well-cooked,
daintily served meals &C far to ensure
household peace. No time is wasted
that is spent as a means to this desir-
able end. Everything put on the
table should look as nice as it tastes.
She should strive to be always as fresh
and suitably adorned as a newly
opened daisy sparkling with the morn
ing dew; and as sweet-tempered and
loving little wife as ever gladdened
the heart of husband. She must
not place implicit trust in the arith-
metic of her tradesmen. She should
add up the books herself. and pay
bills weekly. She must persevere in
taking the liveliest interest in domes-
tic duties, and not be disheartened
and downcast at the mistakes she will
inevitably make during the first year
or SO of her marriage. She should
never think herself too tired or dis
inclined to make minute daily inspec-
tion of the contents of the larder, etc.,
writing down the orders directly after
breakfast; or, better still. when pos
sible, doing the marketing herself
She should take for the motto, "Nil
Desperandum," and remember that

sun still shines behind the Clouds

Khaki is about the sturdiest, most

simple or as khaki serge it is utilized
both for boys and girls. Though it is
far enough from having nautical asso-

samples are of white serge with collars

bicycle dresses during the warm sea-

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As result he has
brought out and patented pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most VIC
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yot there is no danger of actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved so much of success as q
means of defense as well as fun-mak-
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizin g
much money from his device.

Petticoats for wear under thin silk
or lawn gowns are of all sorts and
descriptions, and quite as varied in
style and adornment as the dress skirts
which will hide them. Dimity petit
coats are novelty; they are made of
the same striped and fowered stuff as
the dainty little morning frocks that
so many women are having made up
just now. Three frills at the bottom
or deep founce, headed with lace in

usual way these pretty skirts are
