DEAR MoTHER:-Your letter came
to me few days ago and / enjoyed
the news about home very much.
We are pegging along over here
and the insurgents and rebels are
being good as can be. This will
end, however, when all the crops
are gathered and the men can re-
sumo their guns. In the meantime
we are finding their guns and am
unision every day, and seem to be
getting them pretty well cleaned
out.
am enjoying the best of health,
am also cooking for an officers
mess and get plenty to eat.
My time is getting pretty short
now; when you get this l will have
less than seven months to serve in
the army.
We'll, everything is dry, dusty
and hot as can be now as the dry
season is well advanced. / suppose
it seems strange to think that
while you are looking for snow and
building big hot fires, am running
around in my shirt sleeves looking
for shade. The nights here are
clear and cool enough to make a
blanket useful, so we get lots of
good sleep.
You can't wish more than / that

on my face and hands, but believe

JUDGES OF TOBACCO.

Even the best judges of tobacco

marked dealer to writer for the

stance, is well-to-do merchant, who
is very particular about his cigars,
and one Of the few real connoisseurs
in town. When he is in good form
he can tell more about tobacco on
superficial examination than any
bodyI know, with the single excep-
ton of dealer who has a big reputa-
ton as an expert. About a month
ago this gentleman began to COM
plain about a fayorite brand of very
high-class cigars. / knew the goods
were AL right, and advised him to buy
something else for awhile. He finally
began smoking pipe, and used
cheap cut plug that he declared was
the best smoke he ever tried One
day, all Of a sudden, his taste returned
and he went back to the cigars. At

"The blood is the life" Science
has never gone beyond that simple
statement of scripture. But it has
illuminated that statement and
given it a meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of
knowledge. When the blood is
bad or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through dis
ease. The brain is also clouded,
the mind and judgment are effected,
and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to
impurity of the blood. No one can
be well balanced in mind and body
whose blood is impure. No one
can have a wholesome and pure
life unless the blood is pure. Foul
blood can be made pure by the use
of DR. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery When the blood is
pure, body and brain are alike
healthy and life becomes daily
happiness.

might be thought that this constant
motion would produce continual
changes In the stellar relations and
alter the face of the heavens every
few years.
But the vast distances at which
the stars are set from us destroy the
visual aspect of their motion and
preserve the unchanging aspect of
the heavens None of the constel-

Refused Her Because She Cried.

a wedding was once stopped in
the following curious manner: The
people were we'll TO do farmers. The
day was fixed, breakfast prepared,
carriages waiting at the door. All
things were ready. The bridegroom
drove up 10 the house and ran in TO
see his bride before he started for
the chapel. He found her weeping.
as brides often do when they leave
home. And who would believe it if
they read ii in a romance?
The bridegroom coldly informed
the young lady that IF that was the
way she was going TO begin it would
be the end of It." He left the bride
in a dead faint, left the house and
drove away. 1t was the end Of it in
more ways than one. There was an
action for breach of promise. The
young lady died of broken heart.
He afterward married three wives
in rapid succession. Every few
years he crossed my path, and have
reason to know that his life was far
from being happy.-London Tit

A StutterIna Cure.

All Sufferers are of the nervous
temperament, and in their haste to
speak so much nervous energy is
sent TO the vocal organs that they
cannot act fast enough for it TO es-
cape, and confusion is the result.
All that Is necessary is to divert a
part Of that energy to some other
operation-that is, TO divert the
mind partly to some other thing.
Thus. at the enunciation of every
syllable. tap any part of the body
with the finger or the floor with the
foot or wink the eve, and the per-
son Will cease to stutter on the in
slant. Persist in the practice, and
the cure will be permanent.-our-

Wistsria. Not Wisterla.

Wisteria is the popular way of
spelling the name of the pretty vine
that bears the rich purple flowers,
but it is incorrect. The spelling
should read wistaria Tar, not er),
and the plant is not a vine at all,
but belongs to the genus of climbing
leguminous shrubs. The species
which bears the most beautiful
blooms and flowers most luxuriantly
is a Chinese variety. but the kind
most frequently seen bears smaller
flowers and grows wild in the west
ern and southern parts of the Unit
ed States, iouriShing best in rich,
wet soil.
1t is probably known to but few
admirers of the shrub that it was
named after DR.. Caspar Wistar. pro-
fesSor of anatomy at the University
of Pennsylvania, in the first years Of
the last century. Professor Wistar
was born in 1761, dying in the wear
1918. and was famed for his botani-
cal as well as anatomical researches.
The NiStar family was founded in
America about the end of the seven
teenth century, ard subsequently
division between members of the va
rious branches led them TO differ
entiate the spelling of the name, one
faction adopting "er," the other adj
herring 10 car" Hence flower low
ers should be careful to call the
beautiful shrub by its true title,

A TaIIor's Comments on the Crooked
ness of His Customers.

"Why don't YOU follow the line
you have chalked OF ?"
The question was asked of a swell
Fifth avenue tailor who had on the
cutting board in front of him Il large
piece of cloth marked of like an in
tricate railway map, and who was
cutting a coat according TO the
marks, with variations. The varia-
lions called forth the question.
"Those marks are according to
the measurements | made" he an
swered, "but my customer Is not ex-
actly alike on both sides. so | vary
my cutting in order to get q good
fit and vet not show the defect.
These variations become almost in
voluntary after YOU know your sub
lect. The marks are there to guide
me, but as | cut l have in my mind

There are very few men who are not
more or less deformed. 1t NAV be
less in most cases, but il Is enough
10 be perceDtible TO the trained eve,
and part of our trade Is to correct
these defects. We say nothing to

are frequently not exactly mated in

ence In the length of Ices or arms.
1t Is our business to observe these
things and correct them to the eve
when the garment is on. This is
not difficult with slight variations,
but there are cases where il Is nearly
impossible, and then we simply do
