AN ANNOYING HABIT.

The annoying habit Of nail biting
common among children, is durable in
its earlier stnges, without resorting TO
the trick Of rubbing the finger tips
with bitter stuffs. Manicure the child's
nails carefully, and see that there are
no hangnails. Cut rather deeply into
the corners and llle the nails short.
Children often bite their nails because
they nre not quite comfortable. A
ragged edge Of one nail is bitten to
make It smooth, and the foundation
Of the habit is laid. If the little fingers
were cared for regularly from baby
hood few children would adopt the dis
agreeable practice.

RUGS FROM RAGS.

An old lady OF my acquaintance
makes the most wonderful rugs from
rags. They are not the old-fashlonet
rag carpet kind but when the colors
are artistically combined they produce
soft, Persian effects. For the founda
ton Of the rug, buriap is used. Upon
this, when cut In the size desired out
line your design with a soft blue pen.
Gil Then with a steel buttonhook or
large crochet needle pull n piece OF
cloth 4 quarter OF an inch wide and an
inch in length through the loosely
woven burlap and draw 1t out again
as IL you were taking nm ordinary
stitch in sewing, After the whole sur.
face Of the rug has been covered in this
way, trim the uneven ends with large
shears, and the rug is finished. These
rugs may be made from wooden or silk
SIS, and utilize cloth that would other
wise be wasted, the pieces required
being very small,-Good Housekeey'

Prominent Part Taken by the Ohio Regi-
meutS.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The 43d
Ohio was commanded, first, by that gal
liant Regular officer. Col. J. l.. Kirby
Smith, then by Col. Wager Swayne. then
by Col. Horace Park, three as grand men
as have been produced by any war. 1t is
an historic fact that on Oct. 4, 1862, the
battle of COrinth was fought and won by
Union troops. Battery Robinett was the
principal point OF attack, and here the
enemy concentrated their greatest effort.
The 43d was on the left, and from the
first was hotly engaged. The noble Col.
Smith fell MORALLY wounded, and Col.
Wager Swayne succeeded him in command
ut once, and under n whitening fire
changed front without confusion, a move
ment that would have severely tried the
mettle and steadiness of any regiment that
ever saw battle field. They made the
movement successfully and held their
ground.
The esd Ohio. under Col. John W.
Sprague, wars on the right of Battery Rob-
inett, and One-half of this regiment was
killed OF wounded, only two line officers
escaping death or wounds. Not an inch
of ground was lost.
When the cartridge boxes Of the men
were empty the 9th Ohio was ordered
up. They advanced CALAMITY. What was
left of the Esd advanced with them, and
the day was won. The brunt of the bat
tie was sustained by the Add, 63d and
9th Ohio. l doubt if any better fighting
was done during the war than was done
by them that day.-W. H. MINTURN, New

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Pre-.
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human sys-
tenn for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and I'M
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetcns the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odOrOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the furious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poi
son of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form.
or rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health. better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood. and the beauty of
it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and pu-
rify the breath, mouth and throat: l also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by the
