CONFEDERATE RATIONS.
How Gen. Pillow, G. S. A., Was Sup.
piled with One Ration When
he Wanted Thirty-Two.

"A correspondent with the Russian
army" said Dan r. Anderson, says
the Russian officers and soldiers bab-
as rule they babble of things about
which they know little or nothing.
And where's the harm? Now, here is
story about which little was said at
the time, but which is worth the tell
ing now. In May, 1865, was commits
Ala. The war was over and 1 was
issuing rations to people who came
for them. One morning tall. military
looking man, with hair and beard as
white as snow, came to the table or
counter where was issuing rations.
"He asked if I was the commissary
and introduced himself as Gen. Gideon
]. Pillow. He confided to me that it
was very embarrassing to him to ask
assistance from enemies. told him it
would afford me great pleasure to fol-
low the instructions in his case, and

soap, vinegar, candles, pepper, salt
pork. l mentioned the quantity in
each case and was enjoying the per-
Torrance when he asked, How much

for his entertainment. Thereupon he
said, I am Maj. Gen. Gideon J. Pillow,
c. 5. A., and OH your own showing am
entitled to 80 rations.' This was
sumner, but said, Great Scott, Con-
eral, don't you know that the war is
over, and that by the grace Of the
government your one ration is there
on the table?' After l had agreed to
send his ration to his house he turned
to go, when his eye caught sight of a
lot of confederate bills on the floor.
dropped in the course of poker game.
STOPPING he picked up $50 note and
offered it to me. l declined to take
it, and drew from box handful OF
$40, $50 and $500 notes and rendered
them to him.
Gle accepted that as sign that
peace had come. l had at that time in
my office q boxes, each containing
81 900 900 in confederate notes. In the
basement of the state house there were
several car loads Of Cancelled confed-
crate notes and bonds, and in the
poker games of the time it was not
unusual for our boys to say, I raise
you a million While commissary
issued rations to the crew of the
pirate Tallahassee and to thousands OF
Lee and Jonnston's men on the way
to their homes west of the Mississippi.
In those days Uncle Sam did his duty

fine MORNING EXERCISE.
To Make One 1.-the and to Lessen IN
lovely Fleshiness, Observe
the Following.

When you first get up in the morn
ing before you dress, try this exercise:
Stand erect, with weight on balls OF
feet. Raise the hands as high over the
head as possible. Then, holding the
knees stih, bend forward and touch the
floor with the ends of the fingers. Do
this ten times, being careful not to bend
the knees.
At first you may not be able to touch
the floor, but no matter, keep it up any
how, and after awhile you will be able
not only to touch the floor, but to take
the exercise Is or so times without tir-
ing. Don't try to do it more than ten
times at first. .." ....a.
This is fine exercise to timber up the
waist and back muscles, and will often
eradicate a morning backache. People
who are very fleshy will find that this
exercise faithfully persisted in will re.
duce too prominent abdomen.
II this exercise is followed by q good
vigorous rub with q coarse towel, going
all over the body, you will find yourself
in fine shape to start the day. Breathe
deeply while taking the exercise and
towel rub. Be sure that the room ia
well ventilated, plenty Of fresh air COM
ing in, but do not stand where the draft
will strike you. T.
Take time to try this exercise few
mornings and see II you do not find
yourself feeling better all day as re-
suit of it.-Medical Talk.

PERSISTENCE WORKS CURE
Careful Attention to Exercise and
Bathing as Well as Diet Will Over
come Chronic Constipation.

Inactivity is the most frequent cause
of chronic constipation. Some of the
common results from constipation are
a dull, heavy, persistent headache, an
offensive breath, a tendency toward
vertigo, mental depression and even
melancholy, sleeplessness or bad
dreams, muddy or pimpled complexion
and q brain less clear than usual.
Sometimes nervous spells of great 1r-
ritability may be the direct result OF
constipation, and many patients will
show symptoms of dyspepsia. All this
is the natural result of the slow taking
back into the system the waste material
which should have been discarded
promptly. These waste food products
are unfit for absorption by the system
and become more or less poisonous to
us if returned.
The habit of constipation once formed

with this difference, that permanent
cure is possible, II we but have the
patience, perseverance and will to help
ourselves. But the life must be regular
in all things if the habit is to be broken.
| A glass of cold water on rising and
retiring will be found helpful; plenty of
deep breathing exercises are needed and
vigorous gymnastics help wonderfully.
These latter are especially good If taken
regularly and vigorously and followed
each morning by quick cold sponge of

Figs or bran biscuits eaten at night may
prove very effective and the sufferer

MERCURY AND WATER.
Some Interesting Experiments Which
May Be Performed with the
Help of Glass Tubes.

Get a number Of glass tubes. varying
in size from quarter of an inch in d.
ameter to the slim thermometer tube.
Thrust them into water and see the re-
suit as shown in the accompanying pic
ture. The water will rise higher in
the smaller tubes than in the larger,
and it will be higher at the sides OF
the tube than in the middle. This is
due to the pressure of the air on the
surface of the water, and to what is
known as capillary attraction, this last
causing the water to rise on the sides
of the tube.
Now thrust the tubes into mercury.
and an exactly opposite effect is pro-
duced, as shown in the darker picture
for the mercury will have lower Level

had lots of experience in the Maryland

never bagged an army, in the east, until

was at that time in the Twenty-fourth
army corps. From the minute that we
got into position on the Petersburg front
there had been beautiful fighting, day
and night, up to the capture OF Fort
Gregg.
After the inner line of confederate
works had been taken we drew out and
followed Gen. Sheridan's cavalry in
night march after the enemy. 1t was an
exciting chase, and we expected mes
sage from Sheridan every three or four
hours to this effect:> Bring up tho in
fantry. We are driving the enemy like
hell There was sameness in the mes
sages, but every one was received with
cheers, and after the reception OF each
we would cut out after the cavalry with
a quicker step.
Il remember particularly the message
that came just before we got into line
at Amelia courthouse. Sheridan was
still calling for the infantry. and when
we put in an appearance his men were
making rear guard fight, falling back
under heavy pressure. However, as
soon as we swung into position the cav

you can surprise the audience with an
other flower trick, sort of curtain

which is the principal one.
The other trick, which we will call
the "buttonhole trick" is prepared in
the following manner: Procure an arti-

stem a strong black thread six inches
long. Tie to the loose end of the thread
strong rubber cord, which must be
elastic enough to stretch to double its

Insert the loose end of the rubber cord

trick in an old coat, because you will
have to cut very small hole through it
directly under the buttonhole.
Having inserted the free end Of tho
rubber cord through the buttonhole anu

A LONG LOST BOOK FOUND
Returned to Its Owner Who Left It
Behind When Escaping from
Old Camp Douglas.

Some time ago, James A. Buchanan,
insurance agent of Indianapolis Ind,
strolled into the secondhand bookstore
of Archaias Winter, No. 226 North llli-
nois street. and while looking about
among the relics picked up volume of
Shakespeare, printed in diamond type,
and marked at the knock-down price of
five cents. Mr.. Buchanan bought this
old book, and looking through its pages
found written upon the inside cover
these words: wv. NJ. Woodward, Com
pany l, Second kentucky Cavalry,
Dukes Regiment, Morgan's Brigade,
Confederate States Army Turning
the pages he found written in pencil in
a number of places the words: Frank
G. Miller, prisoner Of war, Camp Doug
las, Illinois"
It occurred to Mr. Buchanan that this
little book might be Of some value as
keepsake to the owner if he could find
him. Thereupon, he wrote letter to
the Louisville Courier-J Journal, by
means of which he found the owner, yet
alive, engaged in business in Richmond,
Va. Mr.. Woodward wrote to Mr.. Blu
chanan. 1t seems, by his letter, that he,
as well as Mr.. Miller, was a prisoner at
Camp Douglas, near Chicago, from
which place he escaped. He says: When
I took French leave Of Camp Douglas,
accompanied by the late Wood Long
more, OF Kentucky, just Al years ago
this February, was compelled to limit
my baggage and left a considerable
number of books as not being indispen-
sable in a midnight climb over 16-foot
fence. l remember the book you men
ton. and shall be glad to get it back
again.
Frank G. Miller, into whose hands the
hook fell after Mr.. Woodwards escape,
remembers the old book, but does not re-
member what became of it after the days
at Camp Douglas. Mr.. Miller has for
many years been employed in the Mar
ion county treasurer's Office, 1ndianap-
oils. Mr.. Buchanan will return the book
to Mr.. Woodward.

This is a silk year, and ribbons OF
seat beauty are used layishly on the
lew hats. AS a rule they are Of the
softest and most pliable silks. and are
put on, not in stiff bows, but folded
and crushed into rosettes, giving a
fower-like effect. One sees at a glance
that the general plan of the hats is
not so much picturesque, as dashing
and smart. Wings and quilts appear
prominently among the trimmings. A
great many aigrettes are seen.

HABIT OF CLEANLINESS.
Points in Grooming That It Is Abso-
lutely Necessary to Observe II
One Would Be Attractive.

Very few things age woman, or ruin
her complexion, more completely than
personal uncleanliness. Attractiveness
is not always question of dress, though
cleanliness. Of clothing is very great
factor in the matter. At times, ones
work is such that, for the time, she
canont be as neat as she would like, but
when the necessity is ended, would we
not all feel better II we should "prink;
up little? At least, to the extent Of
washing our face, neck and hands and
arms, combing and neatly dressing the
hair, and putting some little, becom'
ing touch to our neckwear, seeing that
our teeth are clean, and our finger nails
clear Of mourning streaks." A woman
who is personally neat will not allow
herself to sit down in a disOrderly
room, unless very tired, and then, not
for long. If one allows the dirt and
CRIME of one day to lap onto that of an
other, the effect will soon be seen in .

Such women get unbearable, even to
themselves, and, if not far gone, realize
that they are not respected as are their
clean sisters. II we allow ourselves to
go about, unwashed, uncombed, un-
tidy six days in the week, do you think
we shall feel at ease in our 'dress-ups"

Here are few hints that will be most
useful II carried out:
In your dress never allow any tight
bands of any kind-tight corsets. tight
collars, tight sleeves, or even cuffs, or
any structure which will impede the cir

to look yourself over, and then sxclaim:
What! Not the accustomed rose in
my buttonhole!" Then touch one of
the boxes lightly with your wand (which
was on the table,, point the wand in a

attract the spectators attention from

behold, there is one in your buttonhole!
