Private Ben Honecker writes the fol-
lowing interesting letter from Camp
Cobb. Fredericksburg, Va, and its
perusal will show that Captain Franz
helms boys are maintaining their repu-
tatlon as the banner company. "Bllly"
Cleman's song, ''The Stars and Stripes

ing used to make the welkln ring. The
letter is as follows:
FREDERICKSBURG. Va. July 80.
Thursday morning the second bdt-
talon, OF which Company G Is part,
took practice march OF thirteen miles
in the country. We marched in light
marching order, carrying haversack and
canteen. During the march the boys
sang, America" Hang Butcher Wey-
Ter TO Sour Apple Tree" and the fav-
ortte OF the regiment, 1.-THE Stars and
Stripes that / Love" Part Of the time
Company G had the head OF the column,
but we were little too speedy for the
other companies and had to halt several
times to let them catch up. Though men
were falling from the intense heat in the
other companies, not man from Com
pany G was FRUSTRATED. This goes to
show that Company G Is the healthiest
company in the regiment. During the
march Corporal Wolvington was con-
tlnually falling out Of ranks and picking
blackberrles, John Kaiser cheered the
boys on by his beautiful Slnging and
his Jokes, Private Cook found a relic
in the shape OF q battered minnie ball
which was fired during the battle Of
Fredericksburg. The members Of Com
pauy g who were on out post duty
Thursday, honestly declare they saw a
regiment Of Confederate soldiers on
dress parade during the night.
The boys Of Company G have a good
j0ke on one OF the members. He was
discovered writing a letter and had
started 1t thus, my dear little bunch of
sweetness. When this cruel war is over
our hearts shall beat as one" he meant
It.
Private Ed Shroyer has been appoint
ed cook, with p. II. Hendricks as assist
ant. The boys in Company G are now
getting fine grub.

the entire regiment with pocket testa-

LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

They drive the COWS home from the pasture,
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat
fields,
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find In the thick waving grasses.
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry
grows,
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds OF the rose.
Thoy toss the new hay In the meadow;
They gather the clder-bloom white;
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than ltaly's wines;
They know where tho fruit hangs the
thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate sea-weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall. rocking treetops,
Where the orioles hanmock-nest swings;
And at night time are folded in slumber
BY a song that n fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And so from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman-
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held In the little brown hand.

Autumn yeilings.

New veilings are exhibited in some
of the shops. Smaller dots set closer
together than they were last winter
are shown. Gray, white and blue
silk mesh with black or white small
dots is effective. White with black
dots and black with white dots nre
seen again. A decidedly new yelling
is fine black silk net with small
motifs of cream or white lace scattered
over it. The effect is different from
that of the ordinary lace veil and the
edge is finished by very narrow
border o cream or white embroidery.
Anotb odd veil has small black
cheni dots set close together in
groups o. five, the groups set about
their own width apart. The edge is
finished by triple row of chenille
dots, set close together in straight
lines. Red and blue yelling, with
fine criss-cross bars and squares of
tulle between the spaces, resembling
some of the grenadine dress materials,
are more curious than pretty, and will
probably attain no great popularity.

The trustees of several villages in
New York state-Warsaw being the
latest example - have passed ordi-
nances forbidding children under fif-
teen years of age from ''being on the
streets, alleys or public places" after
the hour of nine o'clock p. m. from
April to October, OF after eight o'clock
for the other half of the year. 1t is
made unlawful for parents or guardi-
ans to allow or permit children under
their care to be ON the streets during
the prescribed hours, 'unless there
exists q reasonable necessity there
for" A fine ''not exceeding S25" is
provided for parents who violate this
section. The police are authorized to
arrest and detain children found on
the streets at night, but not to i'm
prison them. Their parents are to be
notified, and are liable to fine for
not thereafter keeping their children
within bounds.

Seldom it is that French woman
is visible before o'clock, and then,
If she leaves her room, il is to be hud-
died in pretty soft crepe or thin white
goods that give her the look of a
fairy, too light and airy for earth.
Bernhardt and Amelia Rives, the two
women who have stood in their re-
spective countries for the esthetic in
dress, adopted the style of draping
the figure in loose, light material
which was very becoming. Instead
of cutting out a morning robe from
the regulation pattern and sewing it
in seams, they took the goods and
gathered it around the neck and pro-
vided armholes for it. They draped
them long and loose and caught them
here and there with fancy ornaments.
Bernhardt's dresses were generally in
blue, while Amelia Rives chose the
more picturesque white. e.-Chicago

Lime As n Miik prs.erya,,,c.

Some of the Chicago papers COM
plain, and with reason, against the
practice of few farmers in putting
lime In their milk cans in order to keep
the milk from souring Salt also is
used by some for the same purpose.
Both lime and salt are alkaline, and
will therefore help to prevent acidity.
But in just the proportion they do this
they make the milk indigestible. When
put in the stomach milk becomes acid
as the first step towards digestion. All
alkaline substances are, for this rea-
son, injurious when combined with
food products.

Wet Grain In NIows.

During the rains which have lately
fallen, much grain has been put in
NOW and stack in much too wet con-
dition to keep WELL While the grain
itself is in not much danger, because
it is surrounded by chat, which being
always dryer helps to take up its su-
perhuous moisture, there is danger
that the straw, especially where the
bands enclose the bundles, will rot,
and this may extend before checked
all through the bundle, and may even
affect the grain. 1t is great deal Of
work to turn over q NOW and relay it
again, especially if this is done when
the air is nearly saturated with mois-
ture, SO that exposure to it dries it
out very little. The best remedy we
know is to thoroughly dry some bricks
or tile in an oven, and after digging
down into the stack, deposit few OF
these through it. A we'll dried brick
or tile will absorb nearly or quite its
own weight in water. In other words,
weigh it when you put it in and when
it is taken out, and any one will be
surprised at the increase in weight
after few weeks exposure to damp
grain. Care is needed when thresh-
ing such grain not to put the brick
or tile through the threshing ma
chine. The remedy for damp grain
is applied without this danger if brick
or tile is put among grain in the bin.

The Blouse Waist.

The blouse waist is more popular
than ever this season, and it is ques-
tion whether this most convenient and
apparently indispensable article of
toilet will now ever l. given up. For
travellers it is simply necessity. With
n couple of skirts any number of
blouses may be made suitable for vari-
ous occasions. There is the white
muslin blouse, either plain or en-
broidered; the figured organdie blouse,
which is not so pretty; the pique
blouse, trimmed with light insertion;
I fieta, and China silk blouses, etc.
Half dozen of these useful waists
are none too many to own.
Blouses, however, are not, aud
never will be, full dress, and therefore
will never take the place of the pretty
toilets with waist and skirt belonging
together. These seem to grow pret-
tier and prettier as the season ad-
vances. A new importation which
was greatly admired the other day at
an outdoor function had the upper
part of the skirt cut of deep. vivid,
rose colored Liberty satin; this was
cut half way down the skirt and
rounded up in front to a point where
n huge applied Louis XIV bow, with
long, wavy ends, made in rose colored
mousseline de sole, entirely covered
the front of the tunic The same
ruching finished the edge of the satin,
the rest OF the skirt consisting of an
ac ordion plated hounce of the NOUS
seine de sole. The waist is blouse
of satin, made to open in n very pretty
and novel fashion by having the collar
and the front turned back at the neck to
form revcrs. A butterfly of lace forms
the revers OF the collar with lace ends
that cover the draped revers of the
blouse, the opening being filed in
with lace net. The sleeves have seal
loped Jockeys" over the shoulders
and haring cuffs made in the same
way.-New York Tribune.
