Under this heading is the following inter-
iesting paragraph, contained in the Globe of
Monday, Sept. 26th, 1864, handed to us by
Mr. G. G. Moore:
Capt. Doyle, of the Federal army in
Georgia, formerly editor of the Ingersoll
Chronicle, in a communication to that paper,
relates the following affecting incident:
There are many Canadians in this army • I
meet them everywhere, and many of them
fill honored positions as aide -de -camps,
regimental and staff officers. You will be
-pleased to learn that they are among the
bravest of the brave, and while standing
by the Federal flag in its crusade against
anan's enslavement, they lose none o
their love for the dear old flag that
sheltered them in infancy. Speaking of
Canadians reminds me of an incident that
!occurred to me at Resaca on the 15th of
May, that left its impression upon inef
Riding rapidly through the woods convey-
ing an order to a General commanding in
Cille portion of the line'I came to an open
field where I expected to find the comman-
der, but who had fallen back a little to a
new position. Spurring my horse to its ut-
enostspeedtopeevent the rebel sharpshooters,
a few yards distant, from getting range upon
me, I dashed across the field in the direction
of our skirmishers, when the horse, which had
become so accustomed to shells and bullets,
that he seemed to partake of a martial spirit,
suddenly, with a snort, sprung aside, nearly
dismounting nee. Turning my eyes I dis-
covered: a sergeant in Federal uniform
laying half hidden in one of our rifie-pits,
and by his hand an open portrait lay upon
the ground. Curiosity prompted me, not-
withstanding the shower of lead and iron
that swept the field, to see the portrait.
Dismounting I picked up the portrait, and
turned to the dead sergeant's pockets to
Kot some record of his name, that I might
'?
gladden the heart of some friend by return -
mg them the treasure. But I was doomed
to disappointment, for while turning out his
pockets a yell alarmed me, and looking up I
beheld throe rebels advancing to capture
ene. Throwing myself upon my swift horse
secured the picture and escaped
At night, after the din of arms had
subsided, I examined the portrait, and
lound it to be that of a very beautiful
young lady, apparently about 24 years of
age. In the case was folded a slip of paper,
apon which was delicately written, "Accept
thi, Harry, and when you gaze upon it
remember that I pray eo.ch night to our
Heavenly Father for the dause in which you
are endangering your life, and that you
may be worthy of claiming the substance as
your own, when bronzed by Southern suns
you return to me flushed with victory, but
uncorrupted by your intercourse with the
corrupt world. Farewell till then.—A. H.,
Guelph, C. W., 1862." There was no mark
to tell the name of the dead hero, but I
:mailed the portrait the next dayto the
address above with particulars, hoping that
it might reach the fair lady that watched
and waited for his coming, but who, alas,
-will watch and wait in vain.
HE WAS STRUCK OPT.
The Crank Told Pits Advenhares arid the
Umpire Ploored
"Were you ever in love before ?" she
asked, looking trustfully to her athletic
lover.
Ile was a baseball crank, but he was
truthful, so he was compelled to answer:
4‘ Many a time, but—"
" But what? Tell me about them."
" Well, you see, I was left on first."
" 0, that means your first girl went back
on you ?"
" Of course. Then I tried to steal second."
"Eloped ?"
"That's it But I was thrown out"
"Her father ?"
"Big brother. Next time I fouled."
"The girl wouldn't have anything to 'do
-with you ?"
"You've got it And then I batted a fly
and the left fielder got it."
"Some fellow you had cut out before ?"
" Sure. But this is the first time I ever
bit safe, and rin going to mice a home run.
See?"
" Well, guess not," broke in the gruff
voice of the girl's pa. " ou're going to be
Amok out. See 1"
And he suited the action to the word in a
way which brought the baseball courtship
to a sudden close.
How to Stick Stamps.
The Post -office Department makes a simple
but practical suggestion to the public rela-
tive to the complaints that postage stamps
will not adhere to letters and packages.
Complaints are made that the stamps have
not sufficient mucilige upon them, but it is
suspected that too much is taken off in the
process of wetting them. It is therefore,
suggested by the Departmental officials that,
instead of the stamps being moistened, the
envelopes or packages be wetted, and the
stamps then affixed. Tt is thought all cause
of complaint will be removed if this plan be
followed.

MOONLIGHT SWEETHEARI'l
Hints to Our Niels in These Roman
titer Evenings.
The man le the moon is a very in
person. He sees a great many this
he never tells about • but in this gi
mer time, won't you be a tittle care
when he looks down on you he will
to gossip to the stars and the dail
papers about what yeu are doing,
it is no innocent ? Won't you just r
that while the moon lookdown
sailing at night alone with some fay
mirer, he is thinking to himself all t
" How foolish that girl is to go
just the one man. lie cannot talk
and manage the boat too; and
certain to be trouble. Why in th
did she not have a whole party c
with her ?" Now, that is a ve
thought of the gentleman who liv
the znoon. Then, when he sees you oolong
through the woods a mile from ho ne, and.
only one of the most charming fellm s in the
world with you ; sees you hunting or wild
flowers under his dim light, and notice the
immense amount of interest you take in
each other, he apparently shrugs his shoul-
ders and thinks out loud, " Well, well 1
What a lot of foolishness there is in girls,
anyway. She will catch cold out in the
night air with nothing around her; she
won't find half as many flowers as she
would if my friend, the sum was
shining bright; and she will probably
trip over a stone or a fallen branch. Even
if she wanted totcome out just to talk to the
ii
young man she s very foolish, because he
would think she was a great deal more
desirable if she insisted on staying at home
and sitting on the veranda where all the
rest of the people are. Be would talk to
her quietly ,and he would think how mod'
nicemit was for her to be there than to be
out rambling in the woods even with him,
for, if she went with him it is just possible
she might go with any other man who asked
her." The man in the moon is very, very
wise. He has looked down upon millions
andtbillions of girls, and he knows what he
is talking about; and if you take his advice
and mine the little bit of sweethearting that
goes on under the moonlight will be where
all the rest of the people are. --Ladies' Home

HUNGER AT BREAKFAST.
That It Is Not Present Is the Eater's Own
Fault.
Breakfast is rather a failure as a meal
with town men. That ought not to be ;
there is something wrong when & man is not
vigorously hungry in the tnorning. Where
is the fault? asks the Hospital. Is it in the
late dinner? Not in the dinner, probably,
so much as what is drunk at dinner ; in that
and in the nervous strain of the times. It
does not matter whether we dine in the
middle of the day or in the evening, so long
as we dine judiciously.
But the man who has much work to do,
and particularly brain work, can not dine,
in the middle of the day. If he does he
must make up his mind to lost at least an
hour of his most valuable time. A light
luncheon at mid-day, with .no stimulant
stronger than a cup of coffee or a bottle of
ginger also, is the suitable thing. But this
-must on no account be used as a substitute
for dinner. He who lunches in this way at
mid-day must dine in the evening, and dine
well.
The business man Should dine at half -past
six, or at latest half past seven. The lazy
man may dine when he likes. The man
who has earned his dinner should have a
good one—not heavy, but nutritious; not
to elaborate, but well selected and well
cooked. He should drink, if possible, only
one kind of wine and that a light one,
sparkling or still. Spirits and beer he
should avoid. Dinner should be the last
meal of the day, except for those who can
not sleep without a little food on their
stomachs. These may take a cup of cocoa,
with a little thin bread and butter, just at
the moment of going to bed. If attention
be paid to these suggestiozis, very few
people will fail to be hungry at breakfast.
A DORRESPONDZNT of the Toronto Satur-
day Night asked the editor in last week's
issue how it was that church members—
especially those of the .Anglican persuasion
—were so exclusive towards strangers, and
pave an instance in point. Certainly there
is a great deal of stand -offishness in some
churches. But sometimes we believe it is
as much the fault of the strangers as of
any one else, they seeming to repel any
advances that others might be inclined to
make them. Exclusiveness, however, is
not confined th the Churchof England. We
heard of a case also in Toronto in connec-
tion with the Presbyterian Church to
which Rev. Dr. Kellogg so ably ministers.
Last summer three young people—a brother
and two siaters—just out from the old coun-
try, attended the Sunday services for a
week or two, and on a general invitation
from the pulpit attended a week day meet-
ing of one of the societies hi connection with
the church The principal theme of the
various speakers was the duty of the mem-
bers to make strangers coming to the church
feel at home, to give them the right hand of
fellowship and welcome them to their
midst. Curiously enough, however, the
young man and his sisters were allowed to
enter the meeting, sit it out and to retire at
the close without a single individual speak-
ing a word to them or recognizing them in
any way, although they were entire
strangers in the city and thousands of miles
from home. Needless to say, that church
lost all attraction for them.

'lam New York Herald tells of a 15 -year-
old boy, Eddie Seifert, who is alive and hi
full possession of his faeulties despite the
fact that he carries the two halves of a rifle
bullet in different Farts of his brain. There
is no question that the boy's brain Wes
badly lacerated, and, following the books,
four phyaicians declared his recovery abso-
lutely out of the question. But the fact
that in just seven weeks from the time the
wound tyro received he shows no signs et it
other than a natural pallor from the conem
quent confinement and a bad scar proves
conclusively gulf; the laceration of the brain
from a gunehot wound ia not ner esserily
fatal and the books Will have to be revised.
It is a pity that the observance of an absurd

credit is due for this wonderful cure, from
presenting to the world the mono by which
the result has been accomplished.

butter. No person call make a goo4 quality
of butter unless they have proper appliances
to work with. The thermometer is abso-
lutely essential in the dairy, and yet how
many dairymen possess one? The old up-
aocbdown dash Churn, whieh many still use,
is simply a -woman-killer, while the butter -
bowl which many use to work the butter in
is enought to wear a person out. In the
matter of milk-setthig, the professor said :
"1 prefer the deep setting cans, either the
ordinary " shotgln " cans set in ice-cold
water or the "Cooley" cans, which
are totally submerged in cold
water, in either of these cans, the cream is
more perfectly separated than in the shal-
low pans. But it would pay any dairyman
who milks from ten to twenty cows to pur-
chase a centrifugal maohine which will
separate the cream completely from the
milk directly, it comes from the cow. One
can be purchased for $150 that will separate
250 pounds (25 gals.) per hour, and can be
easily worked by hand. The price is high,
but the increased Melia of cream obtained
from the milk and the small amount of labor
involved will soon repay the expense. The
skim milk is also obtained warm, and can
be fed immediately. We now have one of
these machines at the college and can
strongly recommend them for general use
among farmers.
. Many questions were asked during the
professors address, all bearing on the sub-
ject discussed.
Cream from deep cans was supplied for
this churning by Mrs. Alex. Shene, from
which were made 6i lbs. butter. Two
hundred and twenty-four pounds milk were
set to obtain sufficient cream to make this
amount of butter.
Several samples of milk were brought for
testing, which showed the following per-
centage of fat :
No. 1, 4.4 per cent. ; No. 2, 4.2; N . 3,
2.4; No. 4, 3.9; No. 5, 5.0; No. 6, 3.6;
No. 7, 0.5 (skim milk) ; No. 8, 0.3 (butter-
milk).
Sunderland, which is about twelve miles
from Uxbridge, was visited on Saturday,
August lat, and a meeting held at about
9 a. m. in the large hall owned by Mr.
Walshe. A good sprinkling of farmers and
their wives attended, several prize butter -
makers being among the number. Sunder-
land is a small village, and the farmers
about do not as a rule turn out to agri-
cultural meetings. They turned out in good
force, however, to see the travelling dairy.
On motion of Mr. Henry Glendenning,
Mr. W. Shier took the chair. Mr. Shier
expressed himself as greatly pleased that
the Hon. Mr. Dryden had instituted this
dairy. There were some people, he said,
who would not attend these meetings on the
ground that the dairy was sent out by the
Provincial Government, and they, as Con-
servatives, would not attend. What a
piece of folly this was—to drag politics into
everything. If these people would only
attend the meeting they would see for
themselves that the dairy was not a polit-
ical dodge, but something calculated to be
of great benefit to the farmers, as well as to
the public at large. I am a Conservative
myself, said Mr. Shier, but I am not one of
those who oppose anything instituted by the
Opposition when I see that it is doing a
great deal of good. Mr. Dryden, I know,
is doing his best for the farming community
and we ought to uphold him in this.
Prof. Dean then spoke on the dairy ques-
tion in general, advising the farmers to be
more systematic in their methods of work,
to give up selling such large quantities of
rain and give more attention to dairying.
He was followed by Mr. Palmer, who
lectured on the care of milk and cream for
butter -making.
Cream was obtained from Mrs. John Glen-
denning which which was churned at 59*.
Forty-six pounds cream obtained from 268k
pounds milk made 10 pounds butter.
Only two samples of. milk were brought
to test. One of skim milk from deep cans
showing 0.6 per cent. fat; one of new mills,
5.6 per cent. and buttermilk, 0.4 per cent.
After the dairy utensils had been thor-
oughly inspected by those present, the
meeting broke up.

How Drinking Customs Have Changed.
No social customs have changed so much
as those of &biking wine at and after dinner.
In the year 1835 the Gentian Von Rammer,
dining with our Prime Minister, relates how
they drank toasts from 7 to 12.30. In the
year 1820 a writer on dinners lays down a
few simple rules which he recommends
everyone to lay to heart and to practice.
For instance port being the only drink, be
advises everybody on the completion of his
third bottle—heavens ! the third bottle 1 --
to getup stairs and join the ladies. He will
there be invited to take a cup of coffee. Let
him swallow it very slowly in sips, so that
if he takes a hand at whist afterwards he
may not mistake an ace for a deuce, or a
knave for a king. 041 going home, if he is
sleepless, the following gentle opiate is
recommended : A wine glassful of rum,
another of brandy, half a glass of arrack,
half a glass of curaccm, two or three limes,
a little sugar, two wine glasses of water, all
stirred together and drank slowly will, the
reader is assured, procure the most restless
man a night of sweet and sound sleep. After
three bottles of port such a gentle opiate
would send one of us poor degenerate
moderns straight into a world of sleep from
which there Is no waking. And this was
only seventy years ago.— ralter Besant.

Tired eolin
Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. It should
not be allowed to continue, as in its
debility the system is especially liable
to serious attacks of illness. It is re-
markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the hest
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, climate or life.
Sarsacerilla
"1 believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
life seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon iny
work, and after seeking medical treat-
ment and spending over $so for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded Inc to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained et: pounds. Can eat
anything without it hurting me; ray
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in my life." W. V.
EULOWS, Lincoln, 111.

Early last spring I was very mucl,.
run down, had nervous headache, felt
miserable and all that, I was very
much benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla
and recommend it." Kos. j. M. TAY-
LOR, 1119 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 0.
I was very much run down in health,
had no strength and no inclination to
do anything. 1 have been taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla and that tired feel-
ing has left me, my appetite has re-
turned, I am like a new man." CHAUN-

Buffalo Coln/menial : A well-kmown
clergyman of this city was asked to solve
the following puzzle a few nights ago: If all
the children that King Herod killed were
buried in such a, manner that only their
arms from the elbow to the tips of their
fingers were visible above the ground, how
could you distinguish the arms of the boys
from those of the girls? The reverend gen-
tleman worked at it faithfully, but was ob-
liged to give it up. " For shame, doctor,"
cried the interrogator, "the idea that you
should forget that the children that Herod
killed were all boys 1"
