TTT SOLDIERS WANTED ICE WATER. There is something about old stories of the war that interests all readers, whether it is a .story of bravery and blood, or hunger and freezing, and the more fun there is in a story the better the readers like it. In 1864, the writer was on board the steamer City of Mem­ phis, going from St. Louis to Baton Rouge, La., and on the boat was a com­ pany of recruits for a veteran regiment stationed below. The most of the recruits had enlisted as much from pat­ riotism as for the large bounty, but they were men who believed that in assuming a thirteen-dollar-a-month position in the service of the govern­ ment they did not surrender the posi­ tion they held at home as able and leading citizens, and many of them would pay full price for meals in the cabin of the boat, rather than go on the lower deck and eat rations drawn from Jbhe commissary. The manner of run­ ning the steamboat was the subject of much of the conversation, and the fact that the officers of the boat did not pay any more attention to the recruits than to the horses and mules was very out- ting to some of the soldiers. There was one recruit named Stollmeyer, a German, who was highly indignant, and his power of distorting the English language, when he was mad, made him the target for all the fun. He was a big blacksmith-looking fellow, #ho had been a saloon keeper and an alderman, with much influence, at home, and to be looked upon as a machine, and ignored by officers of the boat, was gall­ ing. The boys used to sit on the lower deck and talk of the hardships of war until Stollmeyer was half crazy. It was evident that he was sorry he . enlisted, and that he would never have done so unless he had been deceived as to the probability of the war being over in a few months. When the steamer started on the trip there was a pipe ranning through the ice box above, with a faucet on the lower deck, where the boys could draw ice water, and the faucet was kept hot, for there is no class that has such an appetite for ice water as the recruit. About the third day the ice gave out, and the water which came from the faucet was quite warm. Stollmyer was the first to dis­ cover that the ice had given out. He drew a pint of water, and as he filled his mouth and found that the water was warm, he spat it out with indignation, said, "Oott in Himmel," and went over to where the boys were playing poker with corn for chips, and began to blow about the outrage of giving plain wa­ ter to soldiers without ice. A few jokers in the crow saw there was an op­ portunity for fun, so they stopped the game and organized an indignation meeting at once, with Stollmever in the chair, or on a hard-tack box. His former experience as an alderman had made him proud of his knowledge of parliamentary rules, and he accepted tile chairmanship gladly, and made a speech on the treatment that soldiers were subjected to that would make the hair stand on a statue of Ben. Franklin. He went into the details of the trip, and spoke *of the ice water that had been furnished at the outset, to be cut off suddenly when the men most needed it, as they entered a warmer climate at every puff of tho steamboat, and wound up with a suggestion that a committee be appointed to wait upon the captain of the boat and demand ice water or blood. Several of the boys were sug­ gested as the proper persons to act on the committee, but all declined in favor of Stollmeyer. It was argued that one man was enough for such a com­ mittee, and it wanted a man who com­ bined a dignified and commanding appearance, with a fluent use of words, and a bravery that none could deny. Such a man was Stollmeyer. He was a man whose very presence demanded respect and' attention, and he was elected by acclamation. Those who were present will never forget the modest dignity with which he accepted the appointment, and we all watched him as be buttoned np his blouse, and blacked his boots, and practiced looking fierce, with his moustache waxed, and his eyes rolling. As he started for the cat)in he said, "Poys, vatch me. I vill make dot captain von dis boat vaint avay. Ve vill haf ice-vaters, und don'd you forget it." The captain was at dinner with the mate, at a table at the head of the cabin, and the passengers were at the other tables, when Stoll­ meyer entered. Two of the boys were outside looking in to see the interview. Stollmeyer walked the whole length of the cabin, his spurs jingling, and every aye was upon him. As he reached the captain, he placed one hand in the breast of his coat, and said, as he looked •giy: "Geptain, I hef some words to say to K Jon, vich it is petter you listen at,"* and e struck a new attitude. "Well," says the captain, as he speared a baked potato, and looked up at the brave soldier, "what do you want? Speak out mighty quick and get out." Then Stollmeyer went on to tell the story of the outrage in regard to the ice-water, in his bravest manner, the perspiration standing out on his face as he wrestled, with the English lan- guage, when he could have done so much better in native German. Before lie had gone far, the captain smiled, and then got mad, and he interrupted the committee, as follows ? "O, give us a rest. If you fellows don't like that water, why don't you throw over a bucket and haul some wa­ ter out of the river ? Before you have been south a month you'will be glad to drink out of a sewer. Now you git!" "Geptain," said Stollmeyer. a little taken back at the reception, "It is bet­ ter you look a leedle ouit. I am a sol- cher, sir," and he straightened up and twisted his moustache, "and no citizen can scare me. I vos an alderman dwo years, and--w It will never be known what Stoll­ meyer was going to say. The captain had motioned to some deckhands and they grabbed the "committee" by the arms, the neck, the shoulders, the pants, and everywhere, and they walked him real fast the whole length of the cabin, and at the head of the stairs they let go of him. and the noise of .boot-heels, spurs, sabre and scabbard were heard rolling over each other down the brass covered stairs, and the recruits, who had resumed the game of poker, felt in- instinctively that the "committee" was returning to report. Stollmeyer picked himself up at the foot of the stairs, re­ moved one of the spurs from the calf of his leg, where it had stuck in, got up and shook himself, and when he found he was all there, and that none of the boys had seen his ignominious exit from the pres­ ence of the captain, he braced himself up and walked to where they were wait­ ing for him, the two fellows that had been sent to watch proceedings had come down the back stairs and told how Stollmeyer had been fired out, but no­ body appeared to know anything about it as the "committee" came back. He looked as brave as when ho went away, except that there was a lump on his forehead where he struck the railing, and one eye was beginning to turn black, where a stair had jumped up and hit him. He strode to the middle of the crowd of recruits, his sabre scab­ bard clinking, and said: '.'Shendlemen, der kommittee vent to der gaptain. Ve shall haf ice vater," and he began to unclasp his belt and take off his sabre like a man who has come out of a great battle. Then the boys set up a great shout, and one ask­ ed Stollmeyer what he was galloping down the cabin for and another asked him what he was skating down stairs for, and then the captain and the mate came down and wanted to know where the crazy Dutchman was who wanted ice water and pie, and poor Stollmeyer went off and laid down and never show­ ed up till the l>oat landed at the place where the recruits were to get off, and from that time until he was discharged for general disability he never kicked on anything that was furnished, and when one of the boys would ask for ice water on the march Stollmeyer would turn pale.--Peek's Sun. The Florida Everglades. - When the general government sought to remove the Indians to their reservations many of different tribes fled into the Everglades, and it is esti­ mated that 700 or 800 are now living there. Only eighty appear upon the rolls of the census, because no census officer has been able to penetrate the wilderness. The eighty Indians \yho appear upon the census rolls are those who come out to trade, but it is known that the large majority are averse to trading or mingling with the whites Indian hunters come out with bear, deer and panther skins, showing that the Everglades must contain good hunt­ ing grounds. A number of negroes, say thirty or forty, are known to be held by the Indians. They speak the Indian tongue, wear the dress of Indian women, and are made to do the women's work. These negroes are evidently the progeny of runaway slaves who escaped before or during the civil war, and are still held In slavery. Only one missionary ever attempted to carry the news of Lincoln's proclama­ tion into the Everglades; he left the borders of the Indian country with great speed. A few months ago Chief Tiger Tail became dissatisfied with one of his colored servants and bronght him into Fort Myers to offer him for sale. When informed that the negroes were all free he ejaculated: "White man's nigger mebbe free, but Indian's nigger, no." Where­ upon Tiger Tail grasped the darkey by the nape of the neck, pushed him into the canoe and paddled back to the Everglades. The Seminoles are quite jealous of any interference with their domain and will not serve as guides through their country. So strictly is this rule maintained that an Indian boy who had been raised by Colonel Hendry, under an agreement with the Indians that he may stay six months of each year with Colonel Hendry and six months with his people, could not be prevailed upon for any consideration to guide white men into the country.-- New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A patient under Dr. Keeley's treat­ ment for the opium plague, once said to him: "When I had been taking thirty grains of sulphate of morphine every twenty-four hours for a long time, I got to thinking one day how the drug was utterly ruining my life and killing me by inches, and I resolved firmly, for the first, time after forming the habit, to stop its use. And for four days I did stop. But if I liad gone without it one day, or even a few hours longer, I should have been a raving maniac. No brain could endure such agonies for any longer time. Hell tortures ft j|0 name for them." ;w DeQuincv, "in his third effort to re­ form, said: "During this third prostration before the dark idol (opium), and after some years, new phenomena began slowly to arise. For a time these were neglected or palliated by such remedies as I knew of. At length I saw through vast avenues of gloom, those towering gates of ingress, which hitherto had always seemed to stand open and cheerful, now at length barred against my retreat and hung with funeral crape. "Self-cure, by reducing the dose the fractional part of a grain daily, is almost impossible. During the ex­ periment consciousness remains, but it is a consciousness of unceasing pain. There is no longer any restful sleep, but only half si umber; and this is full of conscious uneasiness, or is tormented with delirious dreams. And yet this is but the threshold of the torture cham­ ber. As the days pass and with stub­ born endurance the reductions are still made until the daily dose is but half a grain, or even less, the patient ex­ periences horrors which no words can portray. The sleepless days and nights appear to lengthen until each day, each hour, appears endless." One who describes his own experi­ ment of self-cure writes: "On one oc­ casion I resolved neither to look at the clock nor open my eyes for the next two hours. It then wanted ten minutes to one. For what seemed thousands and thousands of times I listened to the ,clock's steady ticking. I heard it re­ peat its murderous iteration, 'Ret-ri- bution,' varied occasionally under some new access of pain, with other utter­ ances. At length, when certain that the two hours must have much more than expired, I looked up at the clock and found it three minutes past one." The difficulty in getting out of the clutches of opium is well illustrated in the following: "A patient whom, .after habitual use of opium ten years, I met," says Dr. Reelev, "when he had spent eight yeais more in reducing his daily dose to half a grain of morphia, with a view to its eventual complete abandonment, spoke to me in these words: 'God seems to help a man in getting out of every diffi- oultv but opium. Out of this you have to claw your way over red-hot coals, on your handfe and knees, and drag yourself by main strength through the burning dungeon bans.'" The startling effects of opium, as the habit of opium-eating stealthily gets possession of the brain and heart, ought to be everywhere known. Few, per­ haps, who commence the use of opium are aware of the insidious and deadly character of the snare into which they are being decoyed. The (numerous anodynes, filled with opiumi, given in­ fants and children, are training the appetites of the young to crave opium in after years. Nursing mothers, who are opium-eaters, start the dangerous appetite with the milk on ^hich their children daily fetid, to torment their offspring later in life, and fasten a com­ pound torment to the heart of the cruel mother. Why a Girl Cannot Play Tennis. The first difficulty is found in grasp­ ing the racket. This is due to the fact that in the female hand a layer of adipose tissue makes the palm too rounded firmly to hold the handle. Consequently, if a ball strikes the side of the racket, the racket turns and the ball bounds at a right angle to the line by which it came. This effect is heightened by a quick outward swing of the hand, caused by the small de­ velopment of the os lunare. The female arm differs from the male arm, also, in that the ulna of the female is much shorter proportionately than that of the male. On this account the female cannot hold the racket on a line with the arm, but, necessarily, at a large angle with the arm. Accordingly when the ball is returned the action of the arm tends to knock it side wise. This peculiarity is especially noticeable in returning swift balls. In the female the articulation of the humerus, with the ulna and radius is imperfect, thus causing a constant angle at the elbow. When, therefore, the racket hits a ball it tends to knock it high up in the air. Some have said that this defect is the chief in causing the female to be a poor tennis player. The smallness of her ribs, thinness of the scapula, and shortness of the clavicle unite to prevent her from reaching high balls. These defects, together with the unusually large size of the triceps extensbr muscle, make it hard for the female to serve success­ fully. Were it not for these anatomical peculiarities of the female she would doubtless far surpass the male at tennis. She can run faster, see more quickly and is not easily confused. But the scientific fact remains that tennis is not a game for the hnman female. The game of parlor croquet is best adopted to the peculiar construction of Iter banes.--Amherst Student. Heat and Cold. The sensation of heat and cold does not depend entirely on the physical temperature of the air, but on that com­ bined with its degree of humidity and the rapidity with which evaporation is taking place from the surface of the body, which is influenced by both mois­ ture in the air and the rapidity of its Movement in the form of wind. With the thermometer standing at zero (Fahr.l, a person may stand in a still air without feeling as cold as he would feel if he were exposed to the wind with the thermometer at 30 degrees; the reason of this is that the amount of sensible warmth is determined by the degrees of rapidity with which heat is transferred from the skin, to the sur­ rounding air. In still air there are formed around the body layers of warm air which protects it from the chilling influence of the colder air beyond; when, however, the air is in motion, these layers of warm air are removed as fast as they are formed, cold air supplying their place, and a feeling of cold is the result. The tlieremometer is but a very poor indicator as to wheatlier on a certain day extra clothing is advisa­ ble or not.-- Pr. FooUfa Health Monthly*./ Can «f the Hah*. When not tthe consequence of old age, baldness is a disease, says a doctor, and it is a far more terrible enemy to overcome than white hair. No healthy person should begin to be bald till after 60 years of age, and yet a general lam­ entation arises of young people, bare­ ly in their twenties, losing their hair. Here, therefore, must l>e some defect of constitution, some disease of the hair that should not exist. Headaches, and indeed almost every kind of suffering, whether of the mind or body, frequent­ ly cause the hair to fall. Too much study or thought or application of any kind have a similar effect. Women are less subject to baldness than their brothers. Man works more with his brains, generally speaking, than woman. He also indulges in drink or other ex­ cesses more than women, and, as a rule, keeps his head covered more than wo­ men do. An Italian proverb says that hats kill hair. Hygienic precautions may do much toward maintaining the hair thick. X knew of a man who kept his hair thick, almost black, by never wearing a hat all his life. At 80 be married a third wife, and had a third family of children. You must not ex­ pect, however, that your hair will never fall, even in healtn, nor need you be dismayed when you see your hair come off when brushing or combing. Hair falls at certain seasons, as dead leaves from trees, to make room for new ones to grow. If, however, you see too many come off, and the fall continues too long, then cut the hair as you would cut a faded plant; it will grow stronger, rich­ er afterward. If people out their hair regularly, hair-dressers would have little to do, and wig makers would be ruined. Frequent washing in cold salt water is also recommended to prevent the hair from falling, and daily friotion is good. Millions of Eels. Fish eulturists will be interested in an enormous eel-pond--the largest in America--on a farm in the town of Riverhead, Mass. It covers five acres, and is so full that the eels can be raked out with an ordinary garden-rake. About 2,000 dozen eels were put into the pond five years ago, and their num­ ber has now increased to millions. They are fed regularly every third day on "horse-feet," a peculiar shell-fish, and at meal-time a crack from their owner's whip will bring thousands of them to the surface, and so sagacious are they that they will appear for no one else.

I claim that the nso of my remedies will cure Consumption. 1 do vjot claim that the disease can be cured after the lungs are dsatrojned, for no medicine can create new ones; but I maintain that the first stages of Consump­ tion are caratde, even when the lungs are partially decayed. When one lung is sound I am almost certain of making a care, if the patient will take proper carc of himself and follow my directions. It may bc asked, "How is it that yon can know so much about tliis disease, and pretend to cure it, when so many educated physicians, who have made a study of it for years, pronounce it incurable?" The question is a fair one, and shall be fairly an­ swered : I do not claim to know more than other physicians about the cause*, nature and history of Consumption. I suppose that my views on these points would be found to agree with those of most educated and intelligent physicians. We should agree that while the final canoe is obscure--in other words, while it Is not possible to say tcAy Consumption se­ lects this or that parson aa a victim--yet the predi*- potins7causes are: 1st, f-nAeritanct. Consumption is hereditary in a wonderful degree. One parent very often entails it upon the offspring, and both still more frequently, so that whole families are often swept away, and hand the predisposition down to their children. 3d, Cold. By this we do not mean those changes of weather which often produce inflammation; but long continued and steady cold, so that a condition of de­ bility is produced. Indeed, whatever tends to produce long continued debility will, in some persons, generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among these influences are insufficient diet, living in an unwhole- 1 some air. sedentary habits, grief, anxiety, disappoint- mont, whether of the affections or in business, and a31 ether depressing emotions; the abuse of mercury and file influence of weakening diseases. I also agree with the best doctors as to the manner in which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Consumption is also called TUBEI-MLON* Consumption, by which we mean a disease of tho lungs caused by tubercles. A tubercle is a small, roundish body, which is deposited in the substance of tho lungs by the blood. This is the be­ ginning and first act of the disease. Many of these are .often deposited at once. Each one undergoes several changes. After producing inflammation of the parts of the lung next to it, it enda in ulceration, opens a passage into the bronchial tubes, and passes out at the mouth by spitting. The place where the tubercle grew and ripened now becomes a cavity, and where there are a great many tubercles of course they make a great many of these little cavities, which gradually unite and leave great holes in the lungs. Unless a stop can be put to this process, it will go on until Uie sub stance of tho lungs is consumed and death ensues. Of course I agree with the faculty upon the symp­ toms and course of the disease; tho short, dry, hack­ ing cough, so slight at first, but gradually increasing; then shortness of breath, a quickening pulse, then feverish sensation*, flushing.of the eheetts, and heat in the palms of the hands and soles of (lie feet; the slight but growing emaciation, with feeble appetite, hemorrhages, increasing cough, disturbed sleep, fe­ vered tongue, then loss of appetite, expectoration of softened tubercle in the shape of small lumps of yel­ lowish, cheesy or curdy matter: hectic fever, brilliant eye. chills, night sweats, sharp pains in the sides, in­ creasing emaciation and debility, disordered stomach and bowels, diarrhea, nausea, swollen extremities, hol­ low cheeks, sunken eyes, weakness so great that ex­ pectoration is impossible: then death, bringing wel­ come relief from the tortures of this horrid monster. Now, as I have said, 1 mainly agree with the medical faculty on these points. But when we come to the treatment of the disease I differ from it totally. The doctors believe Pulmonary Consumption caunot be Therefore they do not try to do anything more than to smooth the patient's path to the grave, and seem quite reckless of the medicines they give, so that the patient is kept comfortable and ran/j, even if his life is shortened. As soon as tubercles begin to appear in the lungs of a patient, it is a common prac­ tice with many leading physicians to begin dosing with whisky in increasing quantities, until the ravages of excessive dram-drinking are added to the ravages cf the disease ; and I have yet to hear of a single case of Consumption which was cnreil by stimulants. 1 can say the same of Cod liver Oil. Many physicians aend their patients away from home on distant voy­ ages, to Minnesota or Florida--anything or anywhere so that they may die easy. For they do not pretend to cure, and they have no remedies which will do so. Now I say not only that diseases of the hings can bo cured, but that my mediciues do cure them. Tho prfxif it, that be their use thousand* of CoiutumpHte* have teen and are note beina cured bu them. The whole science of medicine is based on experi­ ments. We cannot by say process of reasoning deelde that any particular medicine will help or cure any particular disease. How was it found thst Quinine will cure Chills and FVvers? Why, by trying one thing after another, until experience demonstrated that it was a specific for that disease. In just that way the knowledge was gained of my remedies, which are al­ most a specific in diseases of the lungs. Pulmonary Consumption is hereditary in my father's family. His father, mother, brothers and sisters died of it, and he had reached almost the last stages of the disease when he was providentially led to experiment with the articles which are incorporated in these med­ icines. He was cured by them, and lived a strong, healthy man for over forty years after his recovery. What cured him has cured thousands of others all over the country. y These results sre not accidental. There Is no such thing ss accident in nature. Whatever mat1 be the route, the origin of Pulmonary Consumption is in the blood. Whenever, from any of the predisposing causes which I have Just now men­ tioned, the blood becomes degenerated, it begins to make tuberculous deposits in the substance of the lungs. This must be stopped or death will surely fol­ low. It will not be enough to get rid of the tubercles already deposited, and heal up the sores already made, but something must be done to stop further deposits. What shall that be? The regular faculty say nothing can be done. I say purify, enrich and tone up the blood, until it becomes so healthy as no longer to make tubercles. Can this be done ? Yes. How? By the easiest and most nstural way in the world. Take a { man who shows to the experienced eye, by many in- ! fallible signs, that Consumption has set in. He is feeble ] and without appetite. Now see what I intend to do: j Firtt, I propose to cleanne hi* utomach and bowels of j their dead, slimy, clogging tnatter. Thin I shall do with my Mandrake Pills, which are the best cathartic ! pills in the world. They contain no calomel or other | minerals, only vegetable matter. They evacuate the j stomach and bewels gently but thoroughly, and do not weaken or gripe. They act like ma^ic on the liver, ' rousing it out of its dull, torpid state, and promoting < s full, free flow of healthy bile, without which them can be no perfect digestion. Now that the stomach and bowels are cleansed and ready- -what next? ('re- j ate an appetite. This I do by my Seaweed Tonic. ; The effect of this medicine is wonderful. Unlike a 1 temporary stimulant, which by reaction lets die or- ; gWM affected siuk lower than before, this not only tones up the stomach, but keeps it toned up. The natural craving for food returns in ail its force, so that we have now a stomuch hungry for food, and a diges­ tive apparatus ready to make way with it. What next? Any one can answer that question. Put into thou An*- 522 B|A •IWTo aell onr nzMyr hand stamps. Terns wl» r Him*.

It throws the entire weight of the horae on the outer rim of the hoof si one, snd re­ moves it entirely from the frog, lesvlng the latter ex­ posed to injury from nails, glass or Jsgged stones, upon which a horse is liable to step at any time. The result in thousands of cases is that the horse becomes lamed from contraction, corns, thrush, cuts or brui-os. Ordi­ nary shoe.n/ is wrong in princ pie and injurious in pisctice. It is little bet'er for s horse than would be a shoe with only a rim of leather for a sole for man's use. A horse can be shod so that the pressure can be dis- tiibuted just as it would he were the horse standin ; baiol'ooied4n the turf, and at. the sa ne time ocotup ste protect'on against all injuries to the foot can be secured. This can ba done by using the LOCKIE HORSESHOE PAD, the principal feature of which is a stout sote- l?ather fole placed bet ween the hoof and the shoe, as seen in the cuts. The LO< KIE PAD is used and Indorsed in strongest terms by iU'DD DOBLE and scores of well- known horse-drivers and traincs: DR. W. SHRPARD and scores of well-known veterinury surgeons; H. V. HEM18 and scores of well-known horse-ownsrs; J. J. BKOWN and scores of we^l-known liverymen. Hundreds of horsesh iers indorse it. Save your horse by saving his foot. Increase his value by curlnv his feet. Make him much more valuable by giving him always a safe, sure and springy footing, thus increasing his confidence and speed, improving bin temper, and gHiu^r him the disposition to do his prettiest and best. Thousands are now using the LOCKIE PAD, and every one in­ dorses it. Every hor*e owner is cordially invited to call and learn more ubout the PAD, or to write for full particulars. We will shoe your lamr horses w.th the PAD, and if they are not cured will charge you nothing. Liberal discount to the trade. All horseshcers can apply the PAD without license. 3:#, LOCKIE HORSESHOE PU GOVT. ALBKBT CROSBY, Prss't & McLEAJT, Manager. OFFICES: N. E. Cor. N.
