First Year of the War.
_ War correspondence was often a se
rious task, being accomplished under
many difficulties. After any engage
ment, whether big or little, the corre
spondents had the greatest trouble to ob
tain correct information from the forces
that had taken part in it. During the
first year, and more, of the conflict,
many minor officers of the regular army
despised the volunteers, and few took
pains to conceal their feeling. They
seemed unwilling to give them any
credit, and the same injustice prevailed
to a certain degree among the volunteer
commands.

....... we inquired, therefore, of a
brigade or division as to the part they
had taken in battle, they would, if they
had participated at all, be likely to :q>-
propriate most of the credit to themselves.
Then questioning some other brigade or
division, they would declare the honors
of the day belonged to them, and would
deny the truth of the previous re]K>rt
specifically and emphatically. Thus, an
Ohio brigade would assume to have done
everything, and to have saved an Indi
ana brigade from being cut to pieces;
while an Indiana brigade would make
the same assumption for themselves, and
disparage the troops of the neighboring
state. The same was true of Iowa and
Wisconsin, of Michigan and Minnesota
troops. Each command had turned the
tide of strife, and covered itself with
glory, so that there was very little left
for the remainder of the army to achieve.
The West Pointers had no faith in the
volunteers, come from where they might.
They not infrequently disputed Iheir cour
age; and when they did not, they pro
claimed their ineompcfcency. War was
an art, a science; how could novices he
expected to acquire it without study and
experience?
Regulars and volunteers corrected in
time this vicious habit. With their in
crease of military knowledge, they l>e-
■came more intelligent and more tolerant:
they understood themselves and others
better. In truth, the first two years were
little else Ilian a series of experiments;
they served as a sort of training school
for learning the trade of war.—Junius
Henri Browne in Lippincott’s.

The proprietor of a hardware store
in close proximity to this dentist was
standing in the door of his store that
afternoon when he heard a most terri-

from the office of the man of teeth.
He had become accustomed to moans
and subdued exclamations from that
quarter, but never had he heard such
bellowing as now pierced the air. His
curiositv was so thoroughly aroused
that a little later on he walked into
the dentist’s office and said: “V horn

I never heard such a yell in all my
life.”
“Oh,” replied the extractor of molars,
“that was old John Tarbox, from

“Had a tooth out!” replied the visit
or, “well, I should think so, and it must
have come mighty hard to fetch such a
roar as that.”
“Oh, dear, no,” said the dentist, “he
didn’t make that noise when I pulled
the tooth. It was afterward.”
“Afterward ?”

Tlie British Sailor’s Dinner.
At 11:4/) the bugle calls the cooks to
the galley, and at noon the sailor gets his
dinner. The arrangements are much the
same as on the training ship. The mess
never exceeds twenty, and is in charge of
a petty officer, who is responsible for the
mess traps. There are two cooks, one in
each watch, and the boys are divided
among the messes and have to do most of
the cleaning and polishing, it being the
watch below’s duty to keep things
straight. Let us take the Minotaur on a
boiled lu'ef day. The galley is a master
piece of compactness, in which every
inch of heating space is utilized. On
one side the cooks are standing for their
meat, which is picked out of a copper
with .a huge three pronged fork and
ticked’off by the steward as it is dropped
into the mess tin. The soup comes pour
ing out of a tap about two inches in
diameter into a half tub that may hold
some .forty gallons, from which it finds
its way into the cans, one for each mess.
As the meat is scored off, so is .the soup.
A sailor’s victualing allowance is a
liberal one. lie has each day a pound
and a quarter of biscuit or a pound and a
half of soft bread, two ounces of sugar,
one ounce of chocolate, a quarter ounce
of tea. When fresh provisions can be
had—which is always when in port, and
for at least two days afterwards—lie has
a pound of fresh meat and half a pound
of vegetables. When he is at sea lie has
a pound of salt pork or salt beef, or three-
quarters of a pound of preserved meat
and certain quantities of split peas, flour,
suet, raisins, rice, or preserved potato, de
pendent on circumstances, all having in
terchangeable values. Sometimes lie may
have mixed vegetables, or dlioll, or even
calavances, which are a kind of bean. In
some ships he has coffee at about 9
o’clock, but then he has to pay for it
himself.—New York Graphic.

How a Woman Benches Conclusions.
In close connection with this more
delicate physical constitution of the
woman is the fact that her emotional
nature is more keen, her sensibility more
quick, her passions more violent, her in
stincts more imperious, and less submis
sive to necessary limitations, than in the
man. This strongly rooted sensibility in
women is the cause of their characteristic
persistency in all matters that depend in
any considerable degree on sentiment.
It is in vain to combat sentiment with
reasons. A woman of strong passion
and fine sensibility will hold by her in
stincts, anil leave your arguments to
float, and in so doing may, in not a few
cases, lie right; hut if the case is one in
which cool judgment, and not keen feel
ing. is to decide, she will probably he
Chaplain Hall Writes the Following lte-
markable Letter.
Albany, Ft. Y.. Express.
For many years liiv wife had been
the victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing and apparently in
curable type from which so many of
lier sex suffer, languish and die. It was
all the worse because the tendency to
it was inherited. She had been under
the systematic treatment of many of
the best physicians in New York and
Brooklyn and elsewhere for twenty
years with only temporary relief. In
fact, there were few, if any, kinds of
food that did not distress her, so dis
eased, sensitive and torpid were all the
organs of digestion. The usual symp
toms of dyspepsia, with its comcomi-
tant ailments, were all present—bad
taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet
anil hands, the sense of a load upon the
stomaclq tenderness on pressure, indi
gestion, giddiness, great weakness and
prostration, and fugitive pains in the
sides, chest and back. I have often
risen in the night and administered
stimulants merely for the sake and
transient relief they gave.
Intermittent malarial i^ever set in,
complicating the case and making every
symptom more pronounced and in
tense. By this time the pneumogastric
nerves had become very seriously in
volved, and she had chronic Gastritis,
and also what I may be allowed to call
chronic intermittent malarial fever all
at once. For the latter the physicians
prescribed the good, old-fashioned,
sheet-anchor remedy, Quinine, gradual
ly increasing the doses, until—incredi
ble as it may seem—she actually took
THIRTY GRAINS A DAY FOR DAYS IN
succession. This could not last. The
effect of the quinine was, if possible,
almost as bad as the two-fold disease
which was wearing away her strength
and her life. Quinine poisoning was
painfully evident, but the fever was
there still. Almost every day there
came on the characteristic chill and
racking headache, followed by the
usual weakness and collapse.
About this time I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncey Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me these facts, said: “Why, I
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it.” -“What
cured you?” I asked eagerly. “‘Kas
kine,” he said, “try it for your wife.”
I had seen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in it than 1 had in saw
dust, for such a case as hers. Mrs. Hall
had no higher opinion, yet on the
strength ot my friend’s recommenda
tion 1 got a bottle and began its use as
directed.
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
showed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these ills

Secret of Petrifaction
Forty vears ago there died in Padua
he physician and chemist, G. B. Masse-
laglia, who had succeeded in petrifying
several animal bodies, which he bo
rn eathed to the University museum. To
fis will he had attached a sealed letter
containing the secret of his method of
Detrification, which was only to be di
vulged .to his legal heirs. UntB recently
ill search for the heirs of Dr. Massedaglia
remained fruitless, but they have at last
seed discovered, and are offered very
large sums for the secret, which, how
ler, they refuse to disclose for the
present.—Boston Transcript

renewed assimilation of food came, of

She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the “New Quinine” is en
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
no other medicine whatever.

Mr prices are as low as the lowest, and on some articles I know I am cheaper
than my competitors. Those who are familiar with my methods know that i
conduct my business on as economical a plan as possible, consistent with enter
prise, and what I save in the way of extravagant house-rent and unnecessary
clerk hire, I divide with my customers. In other words, where I save a dollar
in this way I am enabled to mark down the selling price of my goods to a corres
ponding figure and still make as good profit as my competitors. It will pay you
to ponder these facts’ and pay you still better to personally inspect my goods.
