Shopping in Uniform. Among Mrs. Custer’s recollections of her life on the frontier, as detailed in her “Following the Guidon,” are some relating to the subject of dress. Harper's Bazar, she says, was read there as thoroughly as anywhere. Some of the otlicers’ wives found dressmaking a diflicult task, and things often looked “pretty botchy and home-made.” We sent into the States by every a\\'ilable opportunity for anything so serious as a stuff gown or outer garment, and we ail carried lists into the States to till for others. It was amusing to see a | bachelor oilicar go into a shop in the East with his lists, w.iere the super- I eiiiousness of the smart young woman • who waited on him almost made him ; beat a hasty retreat. The girl does not holo him in his eruI barrassments. you may be sure, and he | is likely to have a red ami une imfort- ! able expetteneo even in selecting stock- । ings. I remember a bridegroom who । । was sent out on his wedding .journey to I buy a neck ruche. Before starting he was well drilled, I I and said his lesson fluently: but he was no sooner on t ho crowded street t han the “ruche of illusion footing” became so jumbled in his mind that he could not. straighten out the words. He described ‘himself on his return as having passed I shop after shop trying to get courage to ; enter and ulXer the strange jumble of sounds into which the commission had got itself tangled. It was war time, and officers wore their uniforms in the cities, so that a youthful and violently red brigadier genera! presented himself before the surprised shop-girl, and excitedly blurtid put his request- lor a “foot of Russia it illusion.” The smile of the shop-girl seemed sardonic to him; but he bravely stood his ground, nud "J labored < xplanatioim sm eoedm iTrrcti'irning to the hotel, triu'mphantly bearing a brownpaper parcel. Two Sunset, in Ono Bay’. A curious natural phenomenon was observed at New Brighton, Pa., one night about- 10 o’clock, and is reported to have been visible for miles around. In tho western heavens hung a great ball of lire resembling the setting sun, tho rays of which extended nearly to the meridian, Hushing the sky with a darkred light. This second sun sank slowly below the horizon in aboitt half an hour, but its glow remained for nearly forty minutes after it disappeared. A good deal of alarm was felt over the appearance, which was probably only the result. of some unusual atmospheric condition, by the ignorant portion of the community, who regarded it as the augurj’ of some disaster. During the time it remained visible two negio women ran amuck through the street, shouting that the end of the world had come, and resisted frantically any attempt made to quiet them. The negroes, who regarded them as inspired, were excited almost beyond control, and could be seen kneeling and praying, even in the streets, till dispersed by tho police. So bright was tho light from this night sun that it blotted out tho stars in the western heavens and paled the moon also, enabling one to n I print at a distance of a foot and a half. A Very Intelligent CatiHh. A very intelligent catfish resides in Lake Keuka, near Hammondsport. Last year the water in the lake was high. thN year it was very low. Cattish al wax s hatch their young in a hollow which they find or scoop out. The catfish in ques- j tion hatched hers in a largo hollow in I the submerged stump of a tree. Iho , water left the stump six inches high and j dry this year. The cattish a wok.- t > this fact one morning. There was plenty of water in the hollow of the stump, but of course she didn’t want to b ■ imprisoned with her largo family Aft. r contemplating the situating for s >me time over : the edge of tho stump, she made up her ; mind. She took herfamiL in her mou'h and leaped dear out of the stump int > j the lake. She sprang neatly ba k into the hollow. She did this twice and then modified iier plan. She dropped her family into the lake over the edge of the. stump half a dozen at a time. When they were all out she sprang aft t them and they went awax into dm p xvater oyfully txxisting their tails. A fisherman witnessed the xvholo of this. Duty in Disguise. A gate-keeper in the employ of the Hessian Railway Company was recently the hero of an amusing incident. His wife being ill. he went himself to milk the goat: but the stubborn creature would not let him come near it. as it had always been accustomed to have this operation performed by its mistress. After many fruitless efforts, he at length decided to put on his wife's clothes The experiment succeeded admirably; but the man had not time to doff his disguise before a train approached, and the gatekeeper ran to his accustomed post. His appearance produced quite a sensation among the officials of the passing train. The case xvas reported, and an inquiry instituted, which, however, resulted in his favor, as the railway authorities . granted the honest gate-keeper a gratu- | ity of 10 marks for tho faithful discharge of his duties.

A stick was i taken, notched and split. One piece xvas given to the depositor, who had to produce it and match tho other piece to get his money. It defies forgery and fraud.

I A Telegraph to the Brain From the stomach is the great sympathetic nerve in the epigastrium. Let digestion become seriously disordoid, and that disorder is sure to find a reflection in symptoms which react disa ivuutagoously upon the organ of thought. Insomnia, nervousness, causeless depression and anxiety are all manitostations of dyspepsiaThe best means of lomedying and restoring tranquillity to brain and stomach, and of regulating, it may be added, bilious secretion, is to take a wineglassful of Hostetter's Stomach Hitters before meals during the day and before reI tiring. This course begun, reform in tho direcI tion of complete bodily well-being has begun ' with it. Coi stipatiou.sick headaches, neuralgia, I rheuinutism, an I malarial complaints uro i among the trouoles in which the Bitters is | speedily and thoroughly benefleitd. L>ou t delay. but take the sir J course at once. Concern Ing G#od Cookery. Thore is an idea prevalent among unskillful cooks that good cookery requires elaborate and costly apparatus. This I is a mistake, according to the Boston । Traveller. Appetizing and even delicate ! dishes can be prepared with no more perplexing or expensive apparatus than I an ordinary kitchen tire and the usual i kitchen appliances. The most skillful | chef and the most unskilled cottage | housoxvife have one and the same agent I to assist them in the preparation for dinner—heat. Good cookery depends more | upon the observance of certain rules । than on the range on which it is done. | Little dishes may be more trouble tojy prepare than a plain roast or chops, bujo they am generally more appetizing, am x< are always a desirable addition to ih?ii' dinner table. The small di tail of kit -hoJF'x and table sometimes appear trivial, I? *l° 1 if xvo consider how much of the hi al and comfort of a household depends up B ’* l a kitchen, surely no one can say that f sM details are unimportant If the mi«4r< 5 <>f a iiouscliold is armed with a thorbug - , Lily practical, not merely superfiei:-L knoxvledge, much expense can be sav d by not purchasing useless utensilsJ j which have only novelty to reeommeiiu them.
