Side-Lights on Life.

A cynical woman says that when a
man breaks his heart it is the same AZ
when lobster breaks one of his claws
another sprouts Immediately and
grows in it's place.
The father of bright baby can
readily believe that smartness is
hereditary.
1t is said that brains will tell, but
sometimes the more brains a man has
the less he tells.
Never Judge man by the clothes
he wears; Judge him by the amount
he owes the tailor.
The more a man has the more he
wants-with the possible exception of
twins.
It's a good thing that man wants
but little here below, for woman wants
the balance.
1t sometimes happens that the man
who knows his own mind doesn't know
much after all.
Every time man invents a good
scheme some other fellow comes along
and makes fortune out of it.
The only thing original about the
average joke is the sin of stealing it,

Genernl on,tsr at we,t Point.

Major General George A. Custer,
whose record of rapid promotions for
gallantry on the BATTLEFIELD reads like
a romance, had troubles of his own
when he was cadet Custer entered
the academy at the lowest age limit
seventeen years. When he was
twenty-four years old he was a major.
general commanding division. One
may search history, and even fiction,
aud have the hardest kind of a time
to find parallel case. One beauty
of the matter is that no one has yet
been found to deny that Custer won
every step on the road of his prefer
ments. Yet this man, who was
Sheridan's right arm in the campaigns
of 1S64-65, came near being lost to
the service of his country through in
ability to master thoroughly one of
the branches at Uncle Sans school.
1t is told at the academy that when
Custer graduated it was found that
one of the members of the academic
board had declined to sign his
"sheepskin. When four years later
Custer paid visit to the school with
the stars of major-general IN the
field of his shoulder-knots the pro-
fessor whose signature to the sheep
skin was lacking offered to af1ix his
name thereto. There ensued n
moment or two of silence, broken
only by few picturesque express
sions from the mouth of a yellow
haired soldier who had just seen some
four years of strife. Clusters sheep

Suggestion of an Expert Laundress.

An expert laundress says that il
sheets and tablecloths are folded sc
that the selvage edges will pass
through the wringer first they will be
smoother and less likely to curl. She
also sounds note of caution against
the habit of pouring boiling water OIL
soiled clothes. 'You know" she
says, eff you submit anything that il,
soft to the action of the heat it will
bake it hard. Pour boiling water in
the cake dish and it will cook the
dough in it. SO if you pour very
hot water on the clothes it cooks the
dirt in. If you are going to soak
clothes you will soak them in luke
warm water. I wash all the clothes
in lukewarm water. In summer only
little warmer than it comes from the
faucet. Some people put all the
clothes to soak-the clean and dirty
together. This should never be done.
