Using Milk.

The proper use of milk is little
understood. Thousands Of people
drink glass of milk without re-
moving the receptacle from their
lips. No sooner does this mass of
milk reach tho stomach than the
gastric juices curdle it and form
masses of hard, tough and impenc-
trable curd. If the digestion is suf-
ficiently vigorous, it may be taken
care of, but few have such diges-
ton. If the milk were taken slow
ly, at the same time piece of bread
being eaten, it would be finely d.
vided, the curd would be broken up
and the processes of digestion would
proceed rapidly. Hence it becomes
an evident rule that milk should
never be drunk rapidly in any con-
siderable quantity. 1t should be
slowly slipped or taken with a spoon
or in connection with bread or some
dry cereal,

The Ole Dinner Bell.


There's music I'm the lowin' of the cattle
on the hills
An in the lazy laughter of the waterfalls
an rlls:
In the singin OF the bluebird an the hum
min OF the bee,
An the ole woodpecker peckin'- on the
holler sugar tree.
There's music In the blossom an the clear
blue Of the sky,
In the screamin' OF the chicken hawk
a-circlin' way up high;
But the sweetest songs OF June time ain
nowheres near q smell
To the music long at noontime OF the ole
dinner bell
When plowin in the distant fields, clean
out o. sight q home.
A-wishin', too, with all your heart thas
dinner time would come,
You watch the furries stretch away aroun
the lower bend
An potter round bit before you start for
tother end,
An you bend your head and listen to
ketch the welcome sound
An calc'late it's purt nigh noon by shad-'
ders on the ground.
When through the hazy atmosphere. your
longin' to dispel,
Comes the furoff sllv'ry music OF the ole
dinner bell.
When the harvest day Is over an the toll
ers' work is done,
over wavin' corn an clover tinted by the
settin' sun,
Low an sweet the distant music Of the
ole bell floats along
Borne upon the evenin' brcezes. mingled
with the reapers song.
An you look acrost the medder. past the
ole crick windln through.
Where the ringer sweet Is waitin' with
welcome there for you.
Oh. there amt no joys OF summer that
can strike you quite so well
AS the rlngin'. when you're hungry. OF
the ole dinner bell.

Dodoinq q Duke.

One time the aged Duke of Sa-
voy, king of Cyprus and Jerusalem,
was in love with the beautiful young
Nine. de Valentinois, who had an
estate at Monaco. Says the remi-
niscences of Nine. de Crequy: "He
often came to Monaco without
sound of trumpet or drum so as to
give her an agreeable surprise. Mime.
de Valentines did not care in the
least for her neighbor, who, more
over, was septuagenarian and
humpbaeked ike a sack of nuts. In
order to put stop to his visits she
used to have his movements watch
ed, and directly he passed her from
tier he was saluted from all her
batteries. Twenty-one guns was the
precise number, sufficient to pro-
claim for miles around that his
grace was taking an outing"

Federals Wore Steel ArmOr

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
publishes the following communi-
cation from Mr.. J. Cabell Early, of
Bon Ton, Bedford county:
see it stated in a recent article
that the finding of steel breast
plate below Richmond where the
Federal soldiers were buried, was
proof that they did wear armor,
although this point had been dis
puted. l was surprised to find
that this had ever been disputed.
l myself have seen two styles Of
armor worn by them at the first
battle of Manassas. i saw vest
made of strips of steel about an
inch wide, connected together, but
very flexible. This vest was taken
from the body of a dead Federal
soldier. At the first days fight at
Gettysburg, l was courier for the
inspector of Early's Division,
Ewell's Corps, my business being
to attend to the wounded ana
prisoners. | found dead Federal
soldier who had on a vest shaped
armor, made of very thin steel.
This was in two solid pieces, one
for the back and the other for the
front, but this soldier was killed
by shell which tore his left arm
out of the shoulder socket. This
man was no coward, as the follow
ing pathetic account will show.
BY his side lay his furlough, dated
the day before the fight, stating
that it was to enable him to go
home to get married. With it was
letter from his expectant bride,
filed with glad anticipat:ons Of
their approaching marriage, but
he chose to remain and fight, and
lost his life thereby. He was a
very handsome, blonde young man,
above medium size, and was from
New York.
write this, as it may possibly
meet the eye of some one who knew
him in life.

EATING AND DRINKING.
Results Of an Excess of Food and the
Effects of Fasting.


Every living body requires a
quantity of food that is common
surate with the tissues it consumes
in the performance of its functions.
When nourishment is withheld, the
body is forced to subsist on its own
tissues. The fat is first appropriate
ed, then the muscles and other
structures. The emaciation and loss
of strength are so rapid that life has
rarely been maintained longer than
ten days when neither food nor
drink was taken. If, however, an
abundance of water is drunk, the
wasting is greatly retarded, and life
can be supported for much longer
time, provided that the body be
kept at complete rest. Thus re-
stricted, fasting is often valuable
adjunct to other measures in the
treatment of disease. A limitation
of the diet is more frequently re-
sorted to than an entire withdrawal
of nourishment.
Restriction of diet is often valua-
bic also as means of preventing
illness. Most persons not employed
in manual labor eat more than is
requisite for their support. Oyereat-
ing seldom yields an increase of
nutrition. The excess of food, on
the contrary, imposes burden
upon the liver, kidneys and other
organs whose office is to free the
blood of effcte matter. When this
burden becomes excessive, illness is
induced. Headache, loss of appe-
tite, lassitude and all other symp-
toms commonly assembled under
the term "biliousness" are the usual
manifestations of it. The accumu-
lation of poisons is further favored
by neglect of drink, when too little
water is taken into the system to
maintain the secretions and carry
off the waste.
The waste products which result
from an overindulgence in meat are
more acutely poisonous than those
from vegetables. They belong to
the uric acid group of poisonous
substances, which are regarded as
particularly active in the prodnc-
ton of govt, rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, or if the quantity of ami
NAL food taken be so excessive and
remain so long in the intestines as
to undergo decomposition through
the action of bacteria, ptomaine
poisoning is produced, and it may
be so severe as to be distinguished
with difficulty from typhoid fever
In the less severe cases relief is
promptly secured by abstaining
from meat for few days, fastening
the removal of the toxic matter by
the drinking Of as much pure water
as the stomach will tolerate or by
means of laxative mineral water.
Muscular exercise and bathing are
also advantageous for prevention

THE MOUNTAIN FIDDLER.
His Music and His instrument and the
Way Hs Plays II.

There is hidden among the noun
tains of Kentucky, Tennessee and
the Carolinas people of whose in
ner nature and its musical express
sion almost nothing has been said.
The music of the southern noun
taineer is not only peculiar, but,
like himself, peculiarly American.
Nearly all mountaineers are sing
ers. Their unframed voices are of
good timbre, the women's being
sweet and high and tremulous and
their sense of pitch and tone and
harmony remarkably true. The fid-
dler or the banjo player is well
treated and beloved among them,
like the minstrel of feudal days.
The mountain fiddler rarely cud-
dies his instrument under his chin.
He sets it against .he middle of his
chest and, grasping his bow near
the middle, yields it with a juggling
movement quite unlike the long
sweep Of the accomplished violin
lists bow arm. 1t is sometimes COM
planned that their playing is too
rapid and jerky, but the tunes are
composed for this tempo, and no
other would be found suitable.
Prominent among the elements
of this music is that leading Ameri-
can characteristic, humor; not the
sparkling wit of the French nor the
broad, clumsy jollification of the
Teuton nor sarcasm nor irony, but
the keen, wholesome, freakish
American love of laugh, and it
pervades, directly or indirectly, al
most every line. The music, too,
while usually minor, is not OF
plaintive tendency. There are few
laments, no sobbing and wailing.
In this it differs radically from
that of savage peoples. Neither has
it any martial throb or clang. 1t is
reflective, meditative, with a vein Of
genial and sunny philosophy. The
tunes chuckle, not merrily, but in
amused contemplation. -- Harper'S
