PROGRESS OF ENL1sTMENT.-lt was
announced at the war department last
Thursday that the work of recruiting
the army up to the full force of 5000
men allowed by law would be finished
within 80 days. Recruiting stations
have been established wherever good
results were probable, and no diff
Guilty has been found in filling the
ranks. This is particularly true OF
regiments destined for the Philippines,
that station being the choice OF ma
jority of the new men. A good pro-
portion of the recruits are from the
volunteer regiments already out of ser.
vice, and the recruiting officers sta
toned at points where the volunteers
were mustered out have been unusual
ly busy. The re-enlistment of these
seasoned soldiers in such numbers is
particularly gratifying to the war de-
partment officials. After discharging
from the regular army all those enti-
tied to muster out by reason of the e1-
piration of their terms of enlistment
(for the war with Spain,) the force to
be recruited under the recent army
reorganization law numbered about
%, 1000, and from the progress already
made this number will be mustered in
by the middle of April.

BEES AS WEATHER PRoPHETs.-As

if they are going out and coming in as
usual, it is safe to make hay or to 60
to the picnic. If they are loafing about
home as if they intended to take a
day off, depend upon it they know
there is going to be rain soon.

Nor MAKING PRoMIsEs.-There's al
least one lawyer in Detroit who has bis
doubts about the immortality Of hu-
man affairs, and he is serious man
with a wife. 1t is his custom to put on
his Office door, temporarily, notices
somewhat of this character
"Gone to lunch; back in half an
hour"
"Gone to court; back in three
hours"
"Gone out to see man; back in II
minutes"
And so on, as the circumstances may
require, and, as he is prompt man
callers are generally successful in wait
ing for him.
One day last week a caller found
this:
"Gone shopping with my wife; back
the Lord only knows when"
The caller, being married man
himself, didn't wait, neither did four
ladies who called, for they were going
shopping themselves.

NOT A GOOD RISK IN KENTUCKY.

The manager of a life insurance
company had the floor.
"Life insurance companies" he was
saying, "are as particular about the
people they already have on their lists
as they are about getting them on in
the beginning. They are rich, of
course, but they are no more anxious
to take in a man who will die of dis
ease within the first year or two than
they are to take in a perfectly healthy
man and have him hazard his life by
taking personal risks in dangerous
pursuits or by travel in unhealthy
countries.
II remember funny instance that
occurred once while / was living in
New England. One of our $4,000
men had way of calling a man liar
in the most careless and indiscriminate
manner, and with only the merest or

fact that he was going to make trip

SKILL OF ALASKAN WOMEN.

Alaskan Indian women have nc
little artistic ability, despite theiI
cramped lives. A recent visitor to
Alaska remarks that though the huge
expressionless face of the Indian wo
man shows but little evidence of any
ambition or ability to perform even the
simplest feature of domestic art, YET
the skiful and artistic results of the
handiwork of these untutored aborigi'
nees is much sought after by the tour
lists who visit their villages.
Fish and berries furnishing almost
the only food of these people, the wo'
men have little scope or ambition for
developing culinary art, but in matters
of personal adornment they take keen
delight. During the long, dark win.
ter they weave beautiful blankets and
baskets for their own use and to sell.
The blankets are made from the strong,
rough wool of the wild mountain sheep.
Yet some of these are as soft as silk,
and in beauty of coloring and intrica-
cy of design rival the Oriental rugs
and hangings. 1t usually takes wo-
man six months to complete one blan-
ket; but many of them sell for prices
ranging from $50 to 5000. A peculi-
arity which stamps their genuineness
is fine thread or shaving of deerskin
in the centre of each hard twisted
strand of wild sleeps wool yarn, OF
which they are made, rendering them
almost indestructible.
Moreover, though the women are all
fat and lazy-looking, their lives are
not uninterrupted ease, notwithstand-
ing that their needs are few. Album
dance of fuel is all about them, and
food, which with them is synonymous
with fish, swims almost to their doors.
But the procuring as well as the pre-
pairing of this food is all accomplished
by the women. During the summer
they leave the villages and towns for
the islands in less frequented waters,
where they camp for weeks at a time,
catching and curing the fish for winter
use, while the men lazily watch them
or paddle the canoe or otherwise amuse
themselves.

earnestly called upon to put them
selves in position to exert the full in
huence this division is entitled to, as
the representative of the first state to
assert itself for state rights in the six
ties, and all Confederate veterans in
the state, not now members, are fra

new camps.
VII. The commanding general OF
the division suggests, that as many OF
the camps as can do so, uniform their
members in a simple and inexpensive
suit, or sack only, of Confederate gray,
with a dark hat. This seems to be the
sentiment and custom If many camps

Each reunion shows more uniformed
camps, and the South Carolina division
should keep pace with the growing
sentiment.

THE MEDICINE HABIT.-The medi'
cine habit is a most pernicious one,
worse, if possible, than the tobacco
habit, because it is often forced upon
unwilling victims and helpless infancy.
have in mind a woman who, when
a child, was so frail that her parents
had little hopes of her living to wo'
manhood but by the judicious use
of water and fruit diet, by the time
she was Is, she was plump healthy
girl and continued so until after her
marriage.
Unfortunately her husband had been
raised on medicine, and thought every
body should take medicine, in season
and out of season-take it when they
are sick, to get we'll; take it when
they are we'll to keep from getting
sick.
So his wife was often forced to take
medicine when she knew it was an
injury to her health.
Well, she suffered along that way
for years, until she lost two children
and was a mere wreck of her former
self. She knew if she continued in the
way she was going she would soon
be with her children.
But she arose in just indignation
and vowed she would take no more
medicine; and if the Lord gave her
any more children she would not
make an apothecary's shop out of their
stomachs.
She kept that vow, went back to a
fruit diet, and 10 years afterward she
is in perfect health, and has two of the
brightest, healthiest children to be
found anywhere.

To CURE EARACHE.-Take equal
parts of glycerire and laudanum,
Slightly warmed, and pour into the
ear from teaspoon insert the cotton
afterwards. This is better than wet
ting the cotton with it, because it will
reach the intermost parts of the ear
and soften the wax, which is frequent
ly the cause of the pain. If the ear
itches inside do not insert any hard
substance, but chew until soft one end
of an ordinary wooden toothpick and
use that instead. Again, if a bug or
gnat or any foreign substance gets in
the ear, Immediately fill the ear with
melted lard (not too warm.) This will
instantly kill any insect, which will,
by turning the head to one side, pass
out with the lard.-Nurse, in Orange

tie, while it is hot, using a flannel
cloth for the purpose, and see how
quickly you can clean it, and how
bright it will be. Use a little, also,
when cleaning your windows, and you
will never again regard that task as
something to be put off as long as pos
sible. For cleaning sinks, wash basins
and slop jars there is nothing that can
equal it, and by its use the dish towels
can be kept nice and white without
rubbing. Put them into pan of cold
water, add enough of the compound to
form a good suds, and let them come
slowly to a boil. Let them boil until
they are sufficiently clean, then iinse
them and hang them out. Such work
will almost do itself, while one is at
tending to other duties, and the task
of keeping clean is thus robbed OF
more than one-half its terrors.

FoOD VALUE OF AN EGG.-Six large
eggs will weigh about one pound. AS
flesh producer one pound of eggs is
equal to one pound of beef. About
one-third of the weight of an egg is
solid nutriment, which is more than
can be said of meat. There are no
bones and tough pieces that have to
be laid aside. Practically an egg is
animal food; and yet there is none OF
the disagreeable work of the butcher
necessary to obtain it. Eggs at aver
age prices are among the cheapest and
most nutritious articles of diet. Like
milk, an egg is complete food in itsell
containing everything that is necessary
for the development of perfect ami
NAL. 1t is also easily digested, if not
damaged in cooking.-Presoyterian
