Care of Punnies.

Puppies after weaving will keep
strong and healthy and will grow fast
II fed only Oil fresh buttermilk and
corn bread, with soup instead of the
buttermilk twice week, till they are
five or six months old. Do not feed
them sweet milk. Keep the puppies
where they can get plenty of exercise.
Do not crowd them. Arrange their
kennels so that they can go in and out
of their sleeping quarters. If fed in
the same vessels, some dogs get more
than their share of food and lose their
manners also. Fasten a number Of
chains where they eat at such dis
tances that no one can reach the other:
then feed in individual pans. Give lit
tie medicine and plenty of exercise
and you will then have strong, healthy
dogs. An hours run every day in the
year in the fields and woods, weather
permitting, is essential to good health.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
it quickly becomes foul.
The best use to make of old bones
is to break them up and bury them
near the roots of fruit trees and grape
vines.
BY sowing nitrate of soda in small
quantities in showery weather under
trees a most beautiful verdure will be
obtained.
1t is not a good plan to fill an old
orchard with young trees. The soil
is too much exhausted by the growth
of the former occupants.
Geraniums bloom most satisfactorily
when grown in comparatively small
pots and soil which is termed rich, but
not rank with excessive manure.
Stir, spade, rake and pulyerize soil
thoroughly before planting or sowing.
The Importance of this work cannot be
overestimated if you desire fine bios
SONS.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Plants
for winter blooming should be grown
especially for this purpose.

A habit of looking at things from a
distorted angle, of focusing the vision
on things that depress and suggest un-
happiness and misery, is a destroyer Of
happiness and success. A man who
goes about with a funeral face, think
ing hard times" fearing dull sea-
sons" disaster, panic and failure
wherever his interests center, is never
a happy man, rarely a successful one.

Waycross, Ga, Dec. 6.-Gussie
Sears, an inmate of one of the houses
at "Klondike," in the Tenderloin dis
trict of this city, was shot and seri-
ously wounded by an unknown party
The woman claims that she went
out of the house about II o'clock,
when some one fired at her from the
darkness. one bullet struck the wo-
man in the left breast just above the
heart and another entered her side.
The Sears woman went unaided
back into the house, when a physician
was summoned The wounds are
not necessarily fatal, but are consid-
cred serious.
There is mystery about the af-
fair which the police fail to under
stand. Two officers went to the
house this morning and found the
woman in bed suffering greatly from
her wounds. She at first denied that
she had been shot, but later told them
that the shooting occurred as above
stated. Blood on the ground outside
the house proved that the shooting
occurred there.
Some of the women in the neigh
borhood are under the impression
that the Sears woman shot herself
either by accident or in an attempt to
commit suicide.

STORY OF A FIGHTER
HOW A CROCKERY STORE CLERK
BECAME HEAD OF THE ARMY.

brilliant Military Career of General
Nelson \. Miies-Commanded nn
Army Corps at the Age of Twenty
six-Threc Times Wounded.
Should Lieutenant General Nelson 4.
Miles carry out his threat to resign if
the army bill now before congress be
comes a law or should he be summari
ly retired there would be ended a most
picturesque and brilliant military ca
reer.
1t is a career that had its beginning
over forty years ago when, as tall
young clerk in a Boston crOckery store,
he took the first step in the profession
which was to bring him great rcnoWn.
Young Miles was born fighter. He
had an innate love Of military affairs.
This led him in 1860 to join militia
company. His first drillmaster was an
old French officer in Boston.
From that time on. when not selling
pots and pans. he spent his time in
drill. Crockery had lost its charm. \
soldier was born. The clerk had start
ed on the path to military glory.
When Fort Sumter was fired upon,
the young warrior was ready. Though
still a mere youth, he was competent TO
command. He organized company Of
volunteers and borrowed money to
equip it. His extreme youth caused
the governor of Massachusetts TO re-
fuse him a captains commission, and
he Joined the Federal forces as lieu
tenant. In a few months he had proved
his ability and was made captain.
With the Twenty second Massachu-
setts he joined the Army Of the Poto-
mae and promptly distinguished him
self at Fair Oaks. where he was wound
ed in the foot. General Q. Q. Howard
in his report commended him for gal
liant action The battles Aliens Farm,
Savages Station, Glendale and Nal
vern Hill followed. Captain Miles was
in them all. General Caldwell, who
commanded the brigade, praised him
highly in his official report.
When the galantry of Colonel Bar
low caused that officer to be promoted
to the rank of brigadier general after
Antietam, Captain Miles was in turn
promoted to be colonel of the Sixty
first New York. He had reached this
high command when less than two
months beyond the age Of twenty-five.
In the battle of Fredericksburg he
was wounded in the neck. When in
