'sDid you ever know the difference
between a boy who has been brought
up with girls and one wnc has not ?
The one whose acquaintance with girls
OF his own age has been slight is apt
TO be awkward and unobserving where
as, the boy who has breathed an at
mosphere Of feminine influence notices
the occasions for the small politenesses
of life.
The speaker was young woman
who had had experiences, and she pro-,
ceeded to unfold them.
"I was thrown last summer" she
went on, "with college boy who had
no sisters, nor cousins, nor aunts, to
polish him off. At Yale he had stud
led hard, and had not wasted his time,
as he would have called it, on girls af-
fairs. He didn't know how to do the
few thousand small services that wo-
men like, and as he was really clever
and nice, I proceeded forthwith to
polish him. I never went for any
thing I wanted. He had to go on all
my errands. / dropped my scissors
or book, or parasol, fifty times a day
to teach him to pick them up. Al
first had to remind him, but after 6
while he did it quite naturally; anc
at the end of the season he thanked
me sincerely.
''The sequel came few days ago
when I received letter from him re
preaching me ruefully for having made
him ridiculous. I'm always jumping
around to help people when I'd bette
let them alone,' he says. The fellow
can't drop a pencil in class but fine
myself sprawling on the floor after i
before / stop to think. 1t Will tax

The Sword for Uewsy.
Washington Evening Star.

Washington Evening Star.
The sword to be presented to Admiral
Dewey, under s'as act OF Congress pro
yiding for this special mark of dlstlnc-
ton for his bravery at Manila, Will be
one of the most beautiful weapons ever
made. Already the artistic ingenuity
of the best swordmakers and jewelers.
of the country, and, indeed, OF the en-
tire world, has been excited, and the
Navy Department has already more
than fifty designs for the "Dewey
sword" They are marked by great
beauty of design, some of the blades
being wrought with figures emblematic
of the famous battle in Manila bay,
while the hilt and scabbard of steel,
gold, and silver, are studded with jewels
and highly-wrought marine emblems,
such as Neptunes, dolphlns, mermalds,
capstans, anchors, etc. Thus far the
department has not taken up the mat
ter of selecting design. The board to
select design will probably consist Of
Acting Secretary Allen, Senator Lodge
of Massachuse It's, and one of the pro
fessors of the Annapolis Naval Aca.
DENY. The same board Will decide
upon the designs tor the medals Which
Congress has authorized as mark o1
special distinction to all of the officers
and crews of the ships taking part II

"You see, the principal thing in
preparing food for the soldiers is to
find something which is as free as pos
sible from water. To compress the
meat is the proper way to get the
water out of it, and the canned beefs
which are made by the Western firms
are about the best thing yet offered
tor any army food which has the quail
tiles of being both light and nourlsh-
ing.
''In the Franco-Prussian War the
Germans thought they had discovered
the correct thing in sort Of small
susage. 1t was found to be of little
use, however, when it came to the test.
It has been the same way with every
thing else of the kind"
"What does it mean when we hear
that regiment OF 1000 men has ten
days rations?" was asked.
"It simply means," he answered,
.sthat each man has rations for ten
days, a very unusual thing by the way.
It takes about $50 pounds of pork or
bacon to supply 1000 men, or 1850
pounds of fresh beef. Mutton is some
times used when it is no higher in
price than beet, and regiment Of
1000 men would need about 500
pounds of that. Beans, rice and peas
are carried in small quantities, and we
also allow little salt, vegetables and
sugar.
"The food list is slightly different
when the regiment is travelling from
what 1t is in camp. When body OF
men is on journey we generally give
out what we call travelling rations' for
so many days. After four days of
travelling we allow each soldier one
pound of canned tomatoes, but when
the men get to cam p they resume the
regular diet. Here is table of travel
ing rations. This will suffice for 100
men for one day: Soft bread, lI29l
pounds, or hardtack, 100 pounds; can
ned beef, IS pounds; baked beans,
1-pound cans, 33 pounds coffee (roast-
ed), 8 pounds; sugar, 5 pounds, and
coffee (raw), 10 pounds"

How to Stop Coughing.

Selected.
The following is from a doctor con-
nected with an institution in this city
where there are many children :"There
is nothing more irritable to a cough
than coughing. For some time I had
been so fully assured Of this that
determined for one minute at least, to
lessen the number CT coughs heard in
a certain ward In a hospital of the in
stitution. By the promise of rewards
and punishments I succeeded in induc-
ing them to simply hold their breath
when tempted to cough, and in a lit
tie while I was myself surprised to see
how some of the children entirely re.
covered from the disease. Constant
coughing is precisely like scratching 9
wound on the outside of the body. Sc
long as 1t is done the wound will no.
heal. Let person when tempted tt
cough draw long breath and hold j
until it warns and soothes every al
cell. and some benefit will soon be re
eeived from this process. The nitro
gen which is thus refined acts as al
anodyne to the mucous membrane
allaylng the desire to cough and 81,
ing the throat and lungs chance t
heal. At the same time suitabl
medicine will aid nature in her effor1
4 to recuperate."

We shall also find that our form OF
government, hitherto adjusted, with
the exception of icy and darksome AL
aska, to states that touch their fellow
states on one or more sides, will have
to be so extended or amended as to take

emily or otherwise, OF remote colonies.
Among these will certainly be the Phil

them to another nation and that in it.
self would be a serious problem, with
hostillties far more extended than they
are at present with our seventh-rate OPP

hood will comprise Porto Rico, held

Thus the open door of our latest duty

. Southern Hospitality.
Winston Sentinel.

Southern hospitality has become
proverbiaI. 1t maniiests itself upon
all proper occasions. 1t is not stiff
aud formal, nor is j: OF dress parade
character. 1t is but the outward ex-
preston of geniality and warm hearted
Mesa desire to make everybody with
In our gates feel thoroughly at horne.
Such hospitality Is a revelation to
those who come from sections where it
d. es not eAist-where cold formality is
the rule and the principle OF every man
for himself and the devil take the hind
most prevails-where it is business first,
last and all the time, and where civil
tiles are based largely upon the calcula-
ton as to how much can be made out
OF them-proprieties SO frigid that they
make genial, big hearted fellow feel
as If he had been put on ice for safe
keeping.
The hospitality of the South is not
checked by war and the troops are to
be congratulated that the points OF
| mobilization are in the South. Where
ever thereis camp 1t is the pleasure
of the people to contribute to the com
fort of the soldiers and from every point
| In the South from which volunteers
have gone there has been tangible
s3llcitude for the bodily welfare OF the
men, rs we'll as wishes for their safe
return, etc.
We noticed the statement some days
ago that along the streets of Jackson
vile had been placed barrels OF ice
water for the benefit OF the troops
stationed there and how much this
thoughtfulness was appreciated 10y the
boys. We thought that is but an ex-
preston of Southern hospitality.
The women Of the South have al
ways been noted for Their great kind
ness and gentleness, as well as for their
rnodesty and beauty, and the following
| tribute to the kindness OF the women
OF Florida, by the Jacksonville Metrop-
oils, is likewise applicable to the wo-
men of all parts of the South where
the opportunity for such acts has been
presented. The Metropolis says:
"The women all over this State are
proving themselves just as patriotic as
the men. Before the volunteer troops
had been in camp a week the good
women set about organizing plans to
supply their wants and to make them
as contented ard as cheerful while
away from the loved ones at home as
possible. The Jacksonville boys are
fortunate, indeed, in having such true
friends as tho women to look out for
, their comfort. Most of them are
, daughters of the women who stood ',y
, the Southern soldiers in the war OF
lS6O-65 so nobly and proved their dc
votion by acts of heroic self sacrifice t"
} cause they believed just.
1 eSuch kindly acts Of the women az
: are now being manifested enccuiae'
s men to do their whole duty. They
: feel that they have loved ones at home
D who have pride in them and that II
: would be d,shonorable 10 prove recrean Ut
e TO the sacred trust assumed: A brave
: man had rather die on the field than
It to bring dlshonor on his people"
