How to Be Slender.

How to become slenderl Let the
maiden inclined to embonpoint follow
this advice, and her form should be-
come as willowy as she could wish.
Rise early and take q cold bath, rub
bling vigorously afterwards with q
coarse towel or flesh brush. Take a
cupful of. water before breakfast. Take
one small cup of tea at breakfast, some
dry toast, boiled fish or a small outlet,
and baked apple or little fruit. At
dinner, which should be at midday,
take white fish Or meat, dry toast or
stale bread, vegetables or fruit, either
fresh or stewed; for supper, toast,
salad, fruit and six ounces of water.
Hot water with lemon juice in it is
also good for supper. When you have
followed all these rules, and find your
self fairy-like in proportion, then you
may begin to contemplate smart
clothes such as only the slender can
wear.

The First and Last Guns.

The first gun fired was at TT. Sum-
ter and the last was fired at Macon.
Some interesting stories have been
published about the firing CO the last
gun, and the statement has been made
that 1t was done at Columbus, Ga.
The facts were ascertained recently
from ID. E. King, the commercial
agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad
at Albany, Ca Mr.. King said:
II was in the Federal army and be-
longed to the First Ohio Cavalry, In
General Wilson's command. We reach
ed Columbus, Ca, on April II, 1866,
and stayed there three days, after
which we marched to Macon.

at frequently by scouts or bushwhack-
ers, and the advance guard, after
some little accommodating. would re-
turn the shots and advance. / was an
orderly under General Alexander, who
had charge of the advance forces, and
when we were within seven or eight
miles Of Macon we were met by q
party of gentlemen-citizens of Ma

city, as an armistice had been de-
clared.

that was said. General Wilson said
that he had not been officially notified
Of the armistice and that he intended
to establish his headquarters fr Ma.
con that night.
HE told the citizens that he would
not allow his soldiers to disturb any
thing or anybody, but that his en-.
trance to the city would be peaceable
He was informed that the Confeder.
ates had forces stationed across the
river from Macon and beyond the rail
road where he would enter.
1--WE proceeded to the city and, after
entering it, we could see the Confeder-
ate camp to our right. While march,

rected at the column came from the
Confederates, without effect, and we
proceeded on the march. This was

"Don,tsn for the Home.

Don't be afraid of a little fun at
home. Don't shut your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets, and your
hearts, lest a hearty laugh shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at night and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand. Don't
repress the buoyant spirits of your chill
dren; half an hours merriment round

best safeguard they can take with
them into the world is the influence of

Dangerous Bahoons.

A hunter while exploring IN Borneo
shot a large baboon at q spring some
distance from camp. So says an ex-
change, which proceeds to relate the
dangerous result of the shot.
The animal fell with a cry, and i'm
fnediately another baboon came in
sight and gave loud yell. While the
hunter was preparing to shoot the
newcomer a small army of balloons
appeared, and the hunter realized that
he was in danger of being torn to
pieces.
One full-grown paboon is easily a
match for a man, and q hundred are
to be dreaded more than as many
wolves. The hunter promptly took to
his heels, with the balloons after him.
Occasionally he paused and shot the
nearest one, but he would have been
overpowered had not his comrades
sailed out from the camp and with a
general volley compelled the pursuers
to retreat.

Rabbit Hunting.

In bramble tangle and close-grown

with beagles. When he is in mood for
run he will furnish lively bit Of

music of the hunt find rare pleasure
in listening to brace Of beagles as
they unravel and bring TO naught ali

dogs in with no intention OF killing
the game, but for the pure delight of
watching and hearing the dogs work.

How Sheridan Came.

Recall with me that break of day
When thirty thousand men in gray
From out the forest, cold and damp,
With shout and yell fell on your camp.
All through the night across the fords
The rebel chief had led his hordes;
All through the night, beneath the trees,
That scarcely quivered in the breeze.
With tiger tread and bated breath,
Forward had crept the ranks of death.
In vain, to stem the battle tide,
Did Emory shout and Custer ride;
Men bled in vain; the waves that rolled
Against you could not be controlled.
The sun came up; the fight grew hot
Disputed was each CORY spot;
But backward STILL before the host
In gray, and Cedar Greek was lost!
But, ali! along the 'broad highway"
That led from Winchester that day,
To Cedar Greek, on coal-black steed,
A trooper rode at lightning speed.
His spurs were red, his boots were
splashed,
He cared for naught as on he dashed!
Beneath his horses hoofs the earth
Was grooming with a battles birth.
And as he galloped, from afar
With loosened rein and head bent low,
And swift as shaft from Indian bow,
Or like meteor on its flight
Across the vast expanse of night,
He few along the historic road.
A better horse man ne'er bestrode.
He bore your leader to your ranks,
With frothy bit and foamy TANKS.
On! by the half-filled cannon ruts!
On. on! past Newton's scattering hutsI
And redder still his spur-points grew,
And dustier his coat of blue.
But all at once a shout-a cheer
Came floating from your distant rear;
From lip to lip the tidings ran
HE comes! he comes! Phil Sheridan!'
The stragglers turned; the wounded
cheered;
Courage and hope again appeared;
Swinging his cap, he came in sight,
The victor Of Opequan's fight
A glance was all he needed: then
He formed his beaten ranks again;
He rode the lines and saw you stand
Firm as the rocks on oceans strand;
Rang out the bugles loud and clear,
And forward with mighty cheer.
You swept across disasters track,
And sent the gray coats whirling back!
In vain the foemen sought to stem
The leaden storm that shattered them;
As well might they have tried to crush
A cyclone in its onward rush;
Over the ground you'd lost before,
Crushing the grass-blades wet with gore,
With yell and cheer, the banners rent,
Led by Victory on you went!
And ere the hilltops hid the sun,
The field of Cedar Greek was won!

Male and Female.

Young men who have postponed the
choosing of a wife in the comforting
knowledge that there are seventy thou
sand "superfiuous'' women in Massa-
chusetts alone may be little startled
by some of the information contained
In the census bulletin which shows the
proportion of the sexes in the United
States.
There are still many more women
than men in Massachusetts, and in
some other Eastern States, but the nu-
merical difference is constantly de-
creasing, and in the country at large the
number of males exceeds the number
of females, and has exceeded it in
Increasing proportion at every census
since 1920, until 1890, save at the
census of 1870, when the increase in
excess of males had been checked by
the losses of the Civil War. In 1890
there were two hundred and forty-two
more males than females in each ten
thousand Of the population. Since then
the women have gained slightly.
The former great excess of females
in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
was due largely to the presence of tex
tile factories, which attracted farmers
daughters who desired work from 9TH
er parts of New England and from
Canada. Changes in machinery have
made men the more profitable opera
tives, and so have turned the tide in
the other direction.
On the other hand, there is noticea-
Bile all over the United States an In
crease in the number Of females in
the cities and Of males in the coun-
try. This, too. Is in part the result of
Industrial conditions. The great ex-
tension Of opportunities for self-sup-
port In city life is a potent magnet for
women. The excess Of females Is
greater in the District Of Columbia
than anywhere else in America, fact
due to the number of women employ.
ed by the government.
1t is a fact worth noting that in all
the old civilized countries there is an
excess of females. This country is
properly classed as civilized, but it is
not old.-Youth's Companion
