lion broke out, we didn't know how to shoot, but we got there, just the same"
 "Yes, in about five years you got so you could hit a confederate regi- ment, if it stood still, but you couldn't hit anybody on the wing" said the bad boy. They isshed guns to you, and you looked them over as though they were to be cut up into rteaks, and fried, and when you were told how to shoot, and fired into the air, the old gun kicked you over, and kicked you after you were down. and broke rib, and dislocated a shoulder When you got out of the hospital you wanted to be detailed as company cook, or nurse in the hospital, and they for years, and when you did shoot again at the enemy, you pulled the trigger with your eyes shut, and run away from the recoil, and never hit a rebel, and it took eight carloads of lead to kill one man. Now 1t s diff ferent, and the little guns the army uses don't kick. and they shoot little bullet three miles, and when the bull let hits a man he is paralyzed until the battle Is over, and you have got to pick out spot on man, and hit it, or be fined by the sergeant That is what it means to be up to date with an army or a navy. You got to hit. the bulfs-eye, and not the surround ing country. The time for hunting elephants with bird shot has passed, and you got to blow 'em up with dy-I namite, see?
 "The boy who can hit a fly on the wall with a bean shooter is the com. ing soldier, and you old jays that sit around and kick about expense of teaching our army and navy to hit things they cannot see without tele- scope ought to be sent to an asylum for incurables."
 "Now that you and your dad have travelled all over Europe, and kept your eyes and ears open, what do you think is the best place for a man to go who is tired of his own country, and wants to settle down somewhere and enjoy peace, and quiet, for the balance of his life, without work, and no feeling that he Is liable to wake up some morning and find that he Is in the midst of a war What coun- try would you advise an elderly man to go to, who wants to get away from trouble, and just enjoy every day of

MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME.
Immigrants from ia-Hungary Sent Over $4s, ,ooo,o ,ooo in
 Ten Years.

The immigrants to the United States from Austria-Hungary have sent back to that country in the ten years between 1894 and 1903 more than $4s,000,000. Of this vast sum the immigrants from Hungary sent back $31, ,132, ,080, while those from Austria sent to their rela- tives $1s, ,9So. In 1894 the amount sent back by the immigrants of both countries was s1,327,620. This had grown In 1903 to s1O,556,OO0; in fact, there has been a steady increase since 1894.
 In addition to the sumseent into the country through what are known in Austria as home banks" from Amer lea each year, large amount is remit ted through American banks without the intervention of Austrian or Hun garian institutions, or In cash or postal money orders. The entire amount re- ceived in Austria-Hungary in 1903 from emigrants that had left that country for other countries was $32,77s,004.
 It is estimated that the Italian immi- grants in the United States send back to their homes annually a sum equal to about $30, 100000. An indication of the importance of remittances so made is found in the business of Italian postal savings banks with savings institutions for Italians in foreign countries. But the full amount sent into Italy cannot be kept track of in this way, for it is well known that considerable amounts are sent in paper money by registered mail or are brought into the country by returning immigrants. Fraudulent banking concerns have caused great losses to Italian immigrants, both in this and other countries in the past. These were usually run by Italians. To prevent all this an act was passed in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Bank of Naples to take charge of remittances from emigrsnts, thus guaranteeing them safety and regularity in the trans mission of their money. This bank has since established correspondence offices for the management of emigrant busi- ness, there being S6 of these offices at the close of 1903. A recent bill in the Italian parliament. providing for the appointment of resident agents in for eign countries to manage the remit tances of Italians failed to pass.
 This immense amount of money flow ing into Italy annually from it's emil grants has already had a marked in- fuence in improving conditions of liv- ing, especially in southern Italy.

NERVES AND BEAUTY.
Plenty of Fresh Air and Some Inter. esting Work Should Preserve
 Ones Youth and Health.

The nervous woman, heaven pity her. She makes herself and every body around her perfectly miserable. Sometimes there's cause for the nervousness, and then she's to be pitied, and sometimes it's just a habit one gets into of being unreason- able and fussy, and generally looking on the blue side of everything.
 ! When the nervous system gets out of order the whole system lags in sympathy. The digestive system, the liver and the heart all refuse to do their work. Every nervous woman should eat five or six times day. She should eat three meals, have lunch between meals, and never omit the warm drink taken just before she goes to bed. Gentle exercise and work are as necessary to the woman with nerves as food and fresh air. An active interest in life will be her sal ,vation, but generally the woman in such condition thinks she isn't in terested in thing in life, so she must keep at work until she develops an in- terest.
 A celebrated physician has said: If you wish never to be nervous live with reason, have purpose in life and work for it; play joyously, strive not for the unattainable, be not an noyed by trifies, aim to attain neither great knowledge nor great riches, be not self-centered. but love the good and thy neighbor as myself" A eel ebrated and charming actress, whose age it would be rude to chronicle, but who still looks quite young, though she is a grandmother, gives the fol- lowing prescription for the preserva- tion of youth and beauty: "You must work until you are tired, sleep until you are rested, have plenty of fresh air, live in cool rooms, take daily sponge bath and eat the simplest food"

A smart woman of an inventive turn of mind recently conceived the happy thought of having her menus printed on white satin yard measures. The inches were marked on one side, and on the other the menu itself appeared, with the name of the guest, whose place the measure indicated at the ta- ble, added to it.

 Copyright, 1sO5 by Joseph B.

After all attempts had failed and the lettuce laid down in it's bed with an appealing look, as much as to say: Don't inject any thing, but let me die a naturaBdeath," 7" the old man acted as though he thought the end had come. He had just taken off his hat, and was gag ing at his dying patient, when the load boy came up, and, with an under taker look on his face, he took his that and famed the lettuce, and said: Friends who desire to take last look at the deceased may pass in the front door, and retire by the back door, No fowers; burial private"
 Now, what you want to butt in here .sfor, when I am having all this trou- ble r said the old man, as he poured out the remaining water in the asprinkler on the dying salad material. That is where the profits go.
