A New BOnuS For Babies.

A bonus Of 500 for baby, $500 for
twins and $500 for tripletsl
This is the latest inducement to
wives of union men to put to rout the
cry, Quality, not quantity" and
bring into the world large numbers of
promising young unionists.
The idea is contemplated by the Ba-
kers and Confectioners union of Chi
cago, which promises to create the Un-
ion Pension association. Every mem
Der of labor union will be invited to
join
Union burial associations, benevo-
lent ASSOCIATIONS aud death benefit as
sociatiops ale common. But in this
new idea the mother of the child, or
the twins, or the triplets, or whatever
it may be, is the one to get the money.
The plan contemplates small initia-
tion fee, trifing monthly due, and an
assessment of 2j cents each whenever
child comes to the home of fellow
member.
Promoters says the principal created
from the assessments made from time
to time will be invested, and that only
interest will be used to pay premiums

Ate a Porous Plaster.

Antonio Cussiamano. an Italian la
borer of this place, is in critical con-
ditiOn as the result of eating part of
porous plaster. About a week ago
Cussiamano complained of pain in
his chest, He went to bed and DIR. E.
E. Smith was called to attend him.
The physician prescribed powder.
Mrs. CassIamano went to the drug
store to have it made up. After she
had gone the doctor advised his pa
tient to use porous plaster. The
Italian next morning on his way to
work bought plaster, but he did not
know how to use it. Finally he took
one of the powders his wife had
bought for him, and tearing off the
cloth covering of the plaster, sprinkled
the powder over the face of the plas-
ter. Theu he tore off a strip of the
plaster and ate it. Later in the day a
friend stopped him from repeating the
performance. That night he was tax.

The Care of the Skin.

"a beautiful body presupposes q
healthy body, in perfect condition for
its use, embracing color, texture, ami
nation and intelligence, says DIR. An
ma Galbraith in the January Delinea.
tor. s"The adage, Beauty is but skin
deep, like many another, is untrue.
The beauty of the skin is evidence OF
good respiration, good digestion, prop.
er excretion by the bowels. skin and
kidneys, good condition of the blood,
and plenty of outdoor exercise.
"lhe skin isa very delicate and com
plex organ, and upon its conditions
and the vicissltudes to which it is ex
posed the health is more dependent
than upon any other agency in life ov
or which We have control. The skin i,
not an independent organ; nothing IL
the body is independent. 1t is now
we'll known that the skin, as we'll al
other parts of the body, depends fo1
its integrity upon the general nervous
system. Disturbance anywhere in th,
body acts upon the skin; conversely
any disturbance in the skin acts upol
the central nervous system"

Part Tennessee Took in Confederate Caul

Part Tennessee Took in Confederate Cause.
There are possibly many who do not
know the part that Tennessee acted in
the Confederate cause and from relia-
BILE statistics in my possession, / find
that Tennessee furnished the follow ing
troops to the cause Of the Confederacy
and money and supplies in proportion:
Eighty niue regiments of infantry,
eight battalions of infantry, thirty
eight regiments of cavalry, thirty two
battalions of cavalry, one regiment OF
heavy artillery, one regiment of light
artillery, nine batteries of artillery.
This includes conscripts and all
troops enrolled for field service, and
would aggregate about 100, 900 men,
and possibly more. Some of the caval
ry was made up from infantry regi
ments largely and this would bring the
estimate to about 100, 900 men.
This army was in actual service al
the time after the second year of the
war. The sick and wounded in tn,
camps and in the hospitals and deathl

tached service took near 40 per cent, o
the enrolment, leaving an active tota
of 80 per cent, or 10000 men in tn,

year of the war.

cen be truly said to the honor and
credit of the volunteers that the con-
script soldiers were the worst to desert
though some conscrips made good sol
diers, and some volunteers deserted
1t is, however, an appalling fact that
the deserter element was equal in num-
bers to the casualties of the last two
years of the war and cut the effective
total of the Tennessee troops down to
20 per cent. at the time of the surrender
of Lees army. The soldiery in the
field from the state and in line at the
time of the surrender was possibly less
than this number. There we're a mere
handful of Tennesseans in the field
when the final surrender was made
The prisons and hospitals all had occu-
pants from the Tennessee troops. The
woods at home we're full of deserters.
When the soldiers all got home, in
cluding the deserter class already there,
the whole would not aggregate but lit
tie over half the number that entered
the service. The bones of the gallant
Tennessee Confederate lie bleaching
on every battlefield of the Confederacy
from the northern borders of the Con
federacy to the Gulf and from the Pc.
tomac to the Rio Grande. Their sur
viving comrades who stood true to their
trusts, like gold tried in the fire that
came out purer and brighter and better
by the crucial test, were so worn out
and their vitality so exhausted that
their days were almost numbered.
Many emigrated to other states and
prospered. Of those tried aud true
who remained in Tennessee, death has
thinned their ranks until only a strick
en- few remain. The deserter class is
among us yet, and having fled when he
saw that danger was about to stare him
in the face, he ignominiously left his
comrades in the field and took care oi
his carcass at home. AS a result the
deserter is better preserved and is lesi
INDECENT than the old tried and true
soldier. Not only this, he is forging
to the front for pensions and appears
that he has had easy sailing to get pen
sions within the last two years.
Whether this class of Tennessee.
soldiery is to be rewarded by their state
for their treachery to their state is
matter for the law makers to see to
The old decrepid soldier who was faith
full to the last will never enjoy beins
pushed aside by the deserter and b.
forced to go away empty while the de
serter has easy sailing in getting wha
he asks for. SO far as this has beel
the case within the last two years, i
has been due to the manipulation o
the men who push the claims of the de
serter, and the board of pension exam
liners are not to be blamed. The com
ing legislature will have this matter il
hand and will do right about it, it i
hoped -Thos. A. Head.

The Designer for January offers a
line of new ideas for the New Year. The
main requirement for magazine of
any kind is to keep little ahead of the
times. 1t is difficult proposition, but
with hustling and perseverance it can
be done. The Designer makes this its
chief aim. Readers who have an eve
for important details should not over
look the superiority of the illustrations
in the Designer over other fashion
magazines, The models pictured and
described are the latest designs of the
fashion makers. Besides this, there
are special articles by people who know
their subjects we'll. Among these arti-
cles are, "rhe Business Woman's Out
fit, Lesson in Dressmaking, /" In
structions in Millinery" ;" Homelike
Interiors" Laura Seiple's -to-the-
last-minute descriptions of the new
fashionable fanciea in dress, etc. The
other half of the magazine is devoted
to stories and poems appropriate to the
season, among which is an exceedingly
graceful little sketch, "a Cinderella OF
Night" by Helen CLARK Balmer, and
poems by Arthur Powell, John Ken.
