Some mothers think it a nuisance
to hunt poems and recitations for the
children, when their schools make a
demand. By clipping every suitable
piece you co e across, and classify
ing them by subjects, you will soon
find you have a better selection than
can be found in a recitation book. I
have done this since my first child
went to school, and I have found it
a pleasure.—E. W.
When a child’s hair is so short that
it is impossible to use kid rollers or
cloths to curl it, try tissue paper. You
will find hair little over an inch long
can be curled very nicely with it. —

SKETCH OF THE FLORIDA WAR
HERO.
A Unique Personality.
When hostilities began in Florida
Dickison was one of the first of Mar
ion county’s citizens to get up a com
pany of cavalry, but before its organ
ization, at the suggestion of the noble
John Martin, that the company was
changed into artillery, it was changed
with this provision, that Martin be
come captain. Martin assented to this
and in 1861 the “Marion Light Artil
lery” was organized. Dickison was
elected First Lieutenant. But, how
ever, with due respect to Captain Mar
tin, it may be truly said of J. J. Dick
ison, that he was born to be a leader
and not a follower, for in 1862, we
find him Captain of the “Leo Dra
goons” Company H., Second Florida
Cavalry, having parted with the “Mar
ion Light Artillery” in a most touch
ing manner. His company was com
posed of the flower and chivalry of
East Florida. It was organized in
August, 1862, at Flotard Pond, in Mar
ion county. For several months he
moved from place to place, perform
ing picket and other duties. Then he
was stationed on the St. John’s River,
where his chief duty with Captain
W. E. Chambers as an aid, was to
protect the pasture lands between
St. Augustine and Smyrna.
Although Captain Dickison was al
ways on the alert, yet he did not
see active service until 1864. How
ever, in this year his military career
was crowned with great success. His
achievements were brilliant and many.
Take, for instance, the battles at
Palatka, Gainesville, No. 4 and the
fight with the Columbine. It was in
these battles that Dickison displayed
his prowess as a leader. In these
four battles he lost only four men, the
first of whom was his own son, Char
lie, who fell in the battle of Palatka.
Indeed, this must have been a severe
blow to Captain Dickison. He had
been through many engagements and
had not lost a man —but now he must
lose one and this, his son. No one
can tell, but those that have ex
perienced it, what agony the noble
Dickison felt, but the Spartan that he
was, he gave the body of his belov
ed first-born into the hands of kind
friends and returned to his duty. The
abiding ideal of duty seemed to be the
governing principle of his character.
It was always uppermost in his mind
and directed all the public actions of
his life. In the death of his son, in
the front of battle, we find this ideal
of duty ruling the paternal voice with
in. Sir Walter Scott says, “There nev
er did and never will exist anything
permanently noble and excellent in a
character which was a stranger to the
exercise of resolute self-denial.” And
oh, what a true, yet bitter test of char
acter was this death scene! Duty and
were the voices that com-
manded his soul and led him on to
victory.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
A mixture of fine sand and plaster
of Paris, wet up to the thickness of
much and applied with a blunt knife,
will mend small troublesome holes in
the wall.
Nice tablecloths and napkins
should not be allowed to become
mush and applied with a blunt knife,
vigorous rubbing with soap or in hot
water.
If, when obliged to be on your feet
all day, you change your shoes sev
eral times for a fresh pair, you will
be astonished how much it will rest
the tired feet, for no two shoes press
the foot in the same part.
Turpentine mixed with carbolic
acid and kept in open vessels about
the room will, it is said, greatly les
sen the risk of contagion in scarlet
fever, diphtheria and kindred dis
eases.
It is well to remember that too
much blueing renders clothes yellow
after a time. Inexperienced or care
less servants think the more blueing
in the water the better for the wash,
and it is a difficult matter to convince
them that the clothes will look far
better if only a small quantity is
used.
A solution of equal parts of gum
Arabic and plaster of Paris cements
china and earthenware.
A green serge dress, which had
done good service for two years, was
recently washed in clear water, to
which five cents worth of soap bark
was added. After being gently rubbed
—not on a board, but by hands —it
was rinsed in water in which a little
alum was dissolved —a piece the size
of a hickory nut, to a pail of water.
The cloth was hung on a line to drain,
and before it was quite dry, it was
ironed on the wrong side. This was a
perfect success, being so thoroughly
cleaned without fading. New cloth,
which was to make sleeves, was also
dipped into both waters, and then was
ironed, and the dress is now almost
as good as new. The water was nei
ther hot nor cold, but just comforta
ble to the hands.
Pears that, after canning, prove to
be tasteless, can be made delicious
by heating, and adding pineapple in
the proportion of one can of pineap
ple to three of pears. Cut the slices
of apple quite small, and if the pears
are in halves, divide them again. Heat
all together, taking care not to let
them cook so that they lose their
shape.
