Sleeping Garments.

cit was not always so," said a
manufacturer of sleeping garments,
"but in every great city nowadays
practically every man wears when
he goes 10 bed suitable sleeping
clothes of some sort either night
shirt or pajamas.
ain cities probably SO per cent of
the men wear pajamas with the pro-
portion of pajamas worn continuing
to increase. don't like them my
self, but undoubtedly they have their
merits. Pajamas, for instance, are
handiest to wear in sleeping Car,
and they are blessing to a man
who has to get up in the night to
tend the baby.
"But though in the greater cities
practically every man nowadays
wears sleeping garments of some
sort, it is not so everywhere through
out the country. There are every
where men whose occupations would
prevent them from wearing sleeping
garments, men who must turn in
ready TO get up at a moments notice.
And there are still great numbers of
men, in smaller places and in remote
parts, who have not yet learned the
comfort and healthfulness of Sleep
ing garments.
The same thing cannot be said of
women. Women everywhere the
country over, and in city and country
alike, do wear night. owns, as they
have long, if not always done. Do
women wear pajamas these days
Well, some, but not many.
"It was little fad to wear them,
for time, and there are some wo-
men who now wear them; but their
number is not large and it is not
growing.
"While the use of sleeping gar
ments has thus been increasing and
extending among men, there has been
falling into disuse once commonly
used article of sleeping equipment,
namely, the old time nightcap.
81 can scarcely imagine anybody
now wearing a nightcap in city. A
man might get cold feet in big
city, but not cold head.
"And so the nightcap, has, from
cities at least, all but disappeared

Rules for Character Reading.

Addressing the Chicago Credit
Mems Association recently, DR.. Chas.
f. Roger, who, according to the
Chicago Record Herald, "has made
a study of character reading for six
teen years." laid down a number of
interesting rules. Here are DR..
Rogers rules:
1. A man who presses his thumb
on the back of your hand when
shaking hands is liberal.
2. The man who never presses his
thumb against yours when hand.
shaking is stingy, and the higher he
keeps his thumb the stingier he is,
3. A man who shakes hands with
the tips of his fingers only is not to
be trusted-he may pay one debt,
but he will never pay the second.
4. When man gives you listless
and lifeless hand, which you have to
shake, beware.
5. You can tell liar as,far as you
can see him by Watching his eyelids.
If the eyelid cuts off the eye at the
outside corner, dropping over it, the
possessor is stranger to the truth
and has only heard of veracity as a
word in the dictionary.
6. The persons who show white
white all the way around the eyeball
are persons who prevaricate.
7. When PERSONS head is bigger
at the back and sides than at the
front and top, the animal predomi-
mates over the intellectual forces.
8. In Judging women the essential
things to be observed are the lips
and eyes-pay no attention even to
powder and rouge in your estimate
of female character. The woman
with thin upper lip-like a streak
Of reds not only cold-hearted, but
clammy.
8. If woman's eyelid cuts off the
eye at the corner she is liar like
the man with the corresponding eye
lid.
10. If she has white all the way
around her eye she does not tell the
truth.
II. Beware of the person, man or
woman, who does not look you
straight in the eye. If he or she
examines the wall or the sky or the
dog, make up your mind that you are
dealing with one who is insincere.
12. Courage and force of character
are shown by the person who walks
with his head held up in the air.

blown up. Fire was seething through
Richmond and Manchester. Union
cavalry appeared in Main street soon
after dawn, April 8.
"Thomas T. Graves, aide on the
staff of Gen. Weitzel, whose troops
occupied Rich...5nd, has written the
following description of Richmond
on thcSfateful morning:
GAS we approached the inner line
of defenses we saw in the distance
divisions of our troops, many of
them upon the double quick, aiming
to be the first in the city. A white
and colored division were having a
regular race, the white troops on the
turnpike and the colored in the fields.
As we neared the city the number of
fires seemed to increase. AT inter-
walls there were loud explosions.
"sOn entering we found Capitol
Square covered with people who had
fed there to escape the fire, and who
were utterly worn out with fatigue
and fright. Details were at once
made to scour the city for able
bodied men, white and black, to as.
sist in extinguishing the flames.
Gen. Deven's division marched into
the city, stacked arms and went to
work. Parsons engineer company
assisted in blowing up houses. In
this way the fire was checked. There
was no plundering by our troops.
"Gen. A. f. Shepley was placed on
duty as military governor. He had
occupied like position at New Or
leans after its capture in 1862. We
went to Libby Prison, but all the
prisoners were gone. President
Lincoln arrived in Richmond the
morning of the 4th, having come on
Admiral Porter's flagship, the Mai
vern. Mr.. Lincoln visited the Capt.
tol and inspected the interior of
President Davis's house,"
Richmond of to-day is not, but for
some old landmarks, recognizable as
Richmond of forty years, so great
has been it's improvement in that
time, of which to undertake de-
scription would be out of the ques-
tion for my feeble pen.

Mortgaging Prospective Crops.

William E. Curtis, the well-known
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, has been writing his daily
letters from Alabama during the past
few weeks and in last Thursdays
paper he has an interesting letter on
the cotton situation. His letter is
very able, and except in two or three
particulars remarkably true to the
facts. This paragraph is especially
wise and timely:
"Another curse, equally demoraliz-
ing, is the general and habitual
method of mortgaging crops; the
ancient plan of living ahead of their
incomes, which has been practiced
by white planters throughout the
South for generations, and has been
acquired by imitation by their negro
tenants. 1t is the habit of a great
majority of the Southern planters,
black and white, to spend their
money before they get it, by mort
gaging prospective crops to secure
advances made by them by commits
sion men to pay for their supplies
and other expenses. This practice
extends TO the white and negro
tenantry of the large plantations
throughout the South. When a man
rents tract of cotton land on shares
Gas 35 per cent. Of land is cultivated) }
he expects his landlord to furnish
him animals, implements, seed, food,
clothing and everything else that he
or his family shall require, and charge
whatever is given against the pro-
ceeds of the coming crop when it
shall be harvested and sold. The
landlord, therefore, makes double
profit from the tenant. The tenant
never gets ahead. He usually con-
sumes the entire value of his cotton
before he picks it, and he goes on
from year to year, gaining nothing
and getting nothing but living for
his labor. 1t is useless to discuss
this subject in the South. Nearly
everybody is willing to admit that
the practice is vicious, demoralizinp
and ruinous; but it is fastened upon
the people and they seem to be salts
fed with it,"

At meeting of the executive
committee of the National Associa-
tion, in Chicago recently, the State
dairy and food department reports
were submitted, showing that 455,-
600 infants died in the United States
last year from the effects Of food
poisoning. This claim was made by
j. N. Hurry, secretary of the Indiana
State board of health. Hurty pro-
duces figures to show that Go per
cent of the total deaths of infants in
America last year was due to poisons
administered in impure foods and
deadly concoctic IS placed on the
market by fraudulent food manufac-
turers. Renewed efforts toward pro-
hibiting the sale Of food products
containing poisonous adulterations is
to be made by the association.

Best Way to EAT an Egg.

Almost everybody eats eggs.
There is perhaps no article of diet
that is more commonly eaten in all
countries than eggs. Hens eggs are
used more than any other kind,
although some people eat duck eggs,
goose eggs and the egg of the guinea
fowl. Turkey eggs are not 80 cften
eaten; they are generally kept for
Matching. Eggs are, said to be per-
feet food, the same as milk--that is,
containing all the food elements
necessary for the growth aud mainte-
nance of the young chick, just as
milk does for the young animal.
While it is true, of course, that the
egg does contain all the elements
necessary for the young chick, yet it
would not follow that these elements
are in the right proportion for the
sole nourishment of an adult person.
That eggs are splendid food is not
to be questioned, but that eggs alone
would furnish sufficient diet for
grown person is hardly probable.
Eggs consist of proteine and fat,
water and mineral matter. 1t is the
proteine or heterogeneous matter that
builds up and repairs the tissues of
the body, while the fat supplies
energy. The white of an egg is
often said to be pure albumen, but It
also contains phosphoric acid and
sodium chloride or common salt.
The yolk contains the fatty part of
the egg, phosphorus, calcium, mag
nesium, potassium and iron. Eggs
also contain sulphur, and this proba-
bly, accounts for the dark stain left
by eggs on silver, the sulphur COM
ing in contact with the silver forming
silver sulphide.
Eggs are very easily digested.
Raw eggs are more quickly digested
than cooked eggs. Soft boiled eggs,
roasted eggs and poached eggs are
more easily digested than fried or
hard-boiled eggs. The stomach will
digest raw egg in from one and
half to two hours. Soft-boiled and
roasted eggs require from two and
half to three hours, while hard-boiled
or fried eggs must be allowed from
three and half to four hours for
digestion. Eggs furnish a good sub
stitute for meat and we believe it
would be far better for the average
person if eggs were more frequently
used in place of meat. Especially
do they make light, nutritious dish
for breakfast, instead of the usual
bacon or ham or sausage.-New
York Tribune.

This Editor Had Been There.

Some OF our exchanges speak of
this paper as farmers paper. Well,
we must acknowledge we have
leaning towards the farmer-in fact,
the editor is farmer.
We have followed the plow and
pair of brindle mules to turn over
many acres of black alluvial soil and
humble bees nests.
We have chopped off and set out
hundreds of shocks of corn when the
frost was on the pumpkin.
We have waltzed after the scythe
and cradle to tie up acres and acres
of golden grain in days gone by.
We have tunnelled into the potato
hill and brought out bushels and
bushels of the rich, luscious fruit,
with the hoe and the plow handle.
We have turned the grindstone
for hours and hours, in the bright
summers sun, until the world seemed
all hollow mockery.
We have chopped down the Jim
son weed in all its glory, and saw it
fall withered mass of ruins to the
earth.
We have cut stove wood with a
dull axe in the bright July sun until
we felt like running away from home
and becoming train robber.
We have played hide and seek
with the razor back SOW in the corn
field for hours and hours, when the
mud was on our breeches and the
water in our socks.
We have chased the COW with
crumpled horn out of the wheat field,
and watched the wobble-legged calf
hang on to the teat like a politician
to fat Office.
In fact, we have done everything
that is done on a farm, from engi-
neering hay rake to fighting over
line fence, and have raised every
thing that can be raised on a farm
from an umbrella to deed of trust,
and why shouldn't we have fellow
feeling for the farmer er2--Exchange.
