Upderstood His Art.

Baron Won Steuben was the drillmas-
ter of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise;
many of the officers knew little or moth
ing of maneuvering. One of the latter
turned out for inspection in dressing
gown. "Himmel und erde" cried the
baron. what kind of creature is this?'
Baron Won Steuben was choleric and
profane, but he understood his art. He
swore at the ragged Continentals in
both German and French, but he taught
them the value of drill and discipline.
When he had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he would
roar to his aid Come here, Herr Haupt-
mann, and help me curse these block
heads But he turned the lpdiscl-
plined militia into well drilled troops.
Never again was the enemy able to
laugh at MIR. Washington's rotten reg
!ments of ragamuitins.'

Ths FIRE. Post Houses.

The first costs are said to have origi-
mated in the regular couriers estab-
lished by Cyrus about $50 Il. c., who
erected post houses throughout the
kingdom OF Persia. Augustus was the
first to introduce this institution among
the Romans, 81 Il. c., and he was imi-
tated by Charlemagne about 500 A. ID.
Louis NJ. was the first sovereign to es-
tablish post houses in France owing TO
his eagerness for news, and they were
also the first institution of this nature
In Europe. This was in 1410, or about
1900 years after they were started in
Persia.
In England in the reign of Edward
~. Q4SD riders on post horses went
stages Of the distance of twenty miles
from each other in order to procure the
king the earliest intelligence of the
events that passed in the course of the
war that had arisen with the Scots. A
proclamation was issued by Charles l.
In 1851 that, whereas to this time
there hath been no certain intercourse
between the kingdoms of England and
Scotland, the king now commands his
postmaster of England for foreign parts
to settle running post or two between
Edinburgh and London to go thither
and come back again in six days"

Heller SHELTER.

"Helter SHELTER has been suggestive
ly defined as a jingling expression,
vaguely initiating the hurried clatter
of feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries, however, led astray
probably by the ordinary photography,
have missed the true etymology of this
phrase. 1t should be ''helter keller"
"Helter" is an old word for hang"
probably connected with halter, ard
''kelter" is used by old writers in the
sense Of order. or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine, says, IF the
organs of prayer be out of keller how
can we pray?
"Helter SHELTER" therefore, is literal
ly "hang order" and means, "Oh, hang
order; let us do it, or let it take its
chance" Ben Jonson in Every Man
In His Humor'' writes, "Helter SHELTER,
hang sorrow, care'll kill cat" and
Shakespeare, using 1t to express rush
and hurry, says, Heller SHELTER have
rode to thee"

How To prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Cham
berlains Congh Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms of
Group. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This rem
edy is used by many thousands of
mothers and has never been known to
fail. 1t is, in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take.

Br~,aI I,y Degrees,

The few old ex-slaves now left In the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that of
burying themselves on the installmert
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into bag OF white muslin.
They do the same with the parlngs Of
their nails and any other portions OF
their anatomy which become detached.
When the bag Is full they bury ii. Ii
asked why they do this they reply:
when me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, so
me bury 1t now when ii dead"

w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
i, good too, but it is very hard
TO digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Cough Remedy. II is certain to be

instance severe cold may be wal dei

A Nickname For Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett. the tragedian, was
subject to dyspepsia, and when he was

him the Scabbard." And the Scabbard
he was-out of his harrington the rest
