greasy tinge you can set down as a
victim of the advice to '"abandon pre-

Side by side with the perennial mys-
teries as to where the pins go, ami
what becomes of all the bright
children, my curiosity ranges, the
source of the irresponsible and too
often unprincipled little paragraphs
which go the rounds of the household
papers from pillar to post, unsigned in
the first place, uncredited in the sec-
ond, and many times unblessed in the
last. Did any woman originally prove

Diet for the Slok.
Modern medical common sense dic-
tates that people shall not be starved,
at least, whatever other treatment
may be necessary. A sufficient amount
of nourishing food is therefore given,
and this food is quite likely to be the
same that the person is in the habit
of taking during health, barring, of
course, all extremely indigestible
dishes or those that will conflict with
the remedies given. As a general
thing, a sick person requires very
much less food than a \vcll one, al-
though this is not always the case.
People of sedentary habits, those who
take little or no exercise to exhaust
the physical forces, might need al-
I most as much food when sick as when
) well.
j There are few follies more extreme
than that of putting sick people on a
diet of toast-water andIhin gruel. It
would make a well person sick, and
how one can be expected to recover
health and strength oij such pabulum
is more than ordinary intelligence can
conceive. A small quantity of good
meats, the vegetables that are most

from one eminently reliable magazine
to another one of these little para-
graphs made the surprising statement
that "a delicate dish for an invalid
was made by stewing twelve shanks
of mutton in one quart of water, etc."
Surely the invalid who could attack
such a robust repast could not be
"ver' much decrepitated," as the
Spanish physician put it. But, origi-
nally, harmless or not. they appear;
we experiment, execrate, but do not
expose. Again and again we write on
"Points That Have Helped Me," but
never on "Rocks I Have Struck On,"
and it remains for deponent to unfold
the books of experience for the bene-
fit of the unwary.
"Salt as a dentifrice is to be com-
mended. as whitening and hardening
the teeth, preserving the gums, etc."
This delusive recommendation I have
seen in circulation for, lo! these many
years. Any dentist will tell you bet-
ter, but, alas! you, nor I, nor any other
fond, foolish woman is likely to ask
him until after having tried it and
discovered for herself that it not only
loosens the teeth but makes the gums
bleed and is exceedingly painful at
the time of application. Try it by all
means if you are one of those rare
stoics who "don't suffer with the den-
tist" and can mount the dreaded chair
with the serenity of "one who wrap*
the drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams;" if
not, take warning.
"Indian meal is an excellent cleans-
er for greasy pots and pans; use as
you would ashes or sand, scour well,

the plumber's bill, for there is no

or coffee such as invalids are supposed
to require it would be almost certain
to upset the digestion. How much
more need is there then of care when
all of the functions of the body are
more or less deranged?
It is frequently the case that a bit
of broiled chicken, steak or bird with
a little dry toast and a cup of good
coffee will relish and be satisfying
when nothing in the way of invalid's
food, as ordinarily given, can be tol-
erated. Of course the food should be
eat«* very slowly indeed and thor-
oughly masticated. If the condition
of the patient will permit, some ex-
tremely entertaining conversation
may be carried on during the meal. It
is a well-established fact that amuse-
ment during eating, especially that
provocative of laughter, is of the
greatest possible benefit. Indeed, the
laughter cure, administered in a quiet
way and without too much nervous
agitation,has been of the most marked
advantage in many instances. Several
physicians make it a point to amuse
and entertain their patients quite as
much as to prescribe drugs and diag
nose the cases.—New York Ledger.

headquarters. The post chaplain.

to send directly to President Lincoln

indorsement of the commanding gen-

sage directly to the war department
at Washington and waited for an
answer. As a general thing we closed
the office at 9 o'clock. That night I
remained until after 10 o'clock talking
with ti*' chaplain, the general and
several members of his staff who had
dropped in. anxious to hear from
Washington, and hoping that the sen-
tence would be mitigated. Nothing
was heard. Bright anil early the next
morning I was again at the office and
found, to ray dismay, that I had not a
single wire working. All were open.

eral and his staff were in front of the

For Young Dog Trainer*.
An expert animal trainer gives the
following points as to methods to be
mployed in the training of dogs:
With the exception perhaps of the
elephant and the monkey, says he.
the dog is «the most intelligent and
onsequently the most teachable of
all the lower animals. Although there
are very great variations of intelli-
gence between dogs of different,
breeds, and individuals of the same
breed, almostany kind of dog is sus-
eptible of training unless it is abso- j
lutely idiotic, for there are idiots
among dogs as among men, although
they are not so common among the
former as the latter.
The dogs which are easiest to train
are those which are most often

breed. The first thing, then, is to se-
lect an intelligent dog, and the best
way to make sure of this is. when you
have seen a likely animal, to have it
for two or three days on trial before
purchasing; for dog dealers are, as a
rule, a shifty race 'of men, and will
cheat you if they can. A bachelor
friend of the writer wishing to buy a
nice present for a lady, purchased
what he thought a pretty little Mal-
tese poodle. He went home quite
pleased with his prize, for which he
had paid three guineas, and to!d his
housekeeper to give it a bath next
morning. After breakfast next morn-
ing he asked for the dog, whereupon
the housekeeper burst into tears.
"Vou don't mean to say you've lost
it," he exclaimed. "No, sir; worse
than that.," she sobbed, as a shabby
little moiyrrel skulked into the room.
All his beautiful silky white curls had
washed off in the bath, and he stood
revealed as the fraud he was.
Jt is not well to buy dogs too young,
as after teething and distemper have
been safely passed through they are
more easily managed. When y< u
ha\V secured a dog. attention must be
directed to the studying of its disposi-
tion and temper, for it is a great mis-
take to think that there are not wide
differences in this respect. Vou must
