SOLDIER Lil There is Fax JVC ore I in : "It would be well for the young men who are thinking of joining the army to defend their country or 'seek the bubble reputation at the' cannon's mouth' to look into the life and duty of one of Uncle Sam's privates before going so far that they cannot tura back," said a gentleman at the Char leston Hotel to a reporter for the News and Courier yesterday. "Let them consider, to b^gin with, the life of a recruit until he becomes a thor oughly drilled man ready to take hi3 place in the ranks of the regiment aod i do his turn at guard duty. Thing3 are not as they used to be in the army, and reforms have been introduced that greatly improve the condition of the private soldier, but he must not he prepared to find a life of never ending jollity and merry-making with an oc casional interval of fighting just to relieve the monotony of existence. "As I have said, there have been some changes made in recent years. Under the old regulations any mau who could pass an insurance examina tion could get intp the army. All the . recruiting officers wanted was bone and muscle, and as a rule it was about all he ever got. The resuit was that all self-respecting people regarded a common soldier with suspicion, and more than half suspected that he had enlisted under an assumed name, and a cloiid like poor Joe Willet's ragged comrades, when he ran away from the Maypole Inn, and fell into the hands of the seductive sergeant. Then he might bave been unable either to read or write or to speak a word of English. In many cases he had not been twenty- j four hours on American soil, and was ? still begrimed with the filth of the steerage in which he had come over to follow a flag that he had never seen before. ? It was only in the lower quar ters of the cities that recruiting offi cers could be found, and it was only among the lower classes of the popu lation that recruits could be obtained. Tue average self-respecting citizen preferred thejpenitentiary. It is im possible to describe the class of m<en who came to enlist "then. Of course, there were some good fellows among them, but there were also criminals of every descriptiondisgrace alike to the country that employed them a ad the flag that they followed. "But, as I say, things are much im proved now, and the result is a decided change in the personnel of the rank and file. A. man to enter the army now must not only be a citizen of the United States and be able to read and write, but he must produce recommen dations from creditable persons, set ting forth that he is of good character, . morally and otherwise. The result is that only the best men arc taken, while five out of every six who apply at the recruiting stations are turned down. "But even this change, important ! as. it is in elevating the character of the army and making it fit for a decent young fellow, ' who Wants to earn an honest living, to enter, has not thrown j down the bars and bridged over the j gulf that yawns between a private sor- j dier and his officer, and that is some- ? thing that I had as well speak of, as it 'is a thing that so many of those who are now about to enter the army may find it to their advantage to know. For you-have no idea how much ignor ance there is upon this point and how : often the recruit finds himself brought ! up at double quick against a granito wall of tradition, of whose existence he had never dreamt. "When you hear of a social gulf J down here in the South you begin j naturally to compare it with ?Shat that j lies between the Southern white man ! and his former slave, anti when you : have gotten that fixed firmly in your I imagination you think you have about grasped the situatiou. But you have ? not. Thc old ante-bellum darky could ' speak to his master often on friendly terms and was something of an hum- ' ble companion. But not so with the ' common soldier. Ile can speak to his officer only on official business. Of course this is .something that can't be done away with. Thc least familiarity or equality would be death to discip line, and it's a very stupid young fel low who fails to recogp'vze thc neces- . sity for it. and t? sec the propriety of the man with the shoulder straps granting him no further recognition than a formal salute in return for the one that he has been taught to pay to his rank whenever he meets him, no matter what their relations may have been a week before his enlistment. Sometimes thc very green young sol dier forgets this and comes in for a reprimand that cuts him to the (juick. but in the course of time ho sees the whys and wherefores better and ac cepts it as a matter of course and something perfectly right and proper. "The first three months of a re cruit's life are thc hardest. Practi cally every one nf his waking hours are filled with drudgery. Ile is re garded as a nuisance by both his om' cers and his comrades, and Tv'hen he is not under a drill sergeant devotes the AS IT IS. _ . )rudgery Tlian Glory lt. greater part of his time to washing dishes and scrubbing the quarters. If he is in a cavalry regiment be is allow ed to amuse himself with a curry comb and scrubbing brush several hours a day. "But probably the sorest experience that a recruit has is that with his new u?iform. In the old days any old thing in the way of a uniform was goed enough, but now the class of men enlisted take a pride in their appear ance and prefer any, amount of discip line to misfits. But as a rule it is misfits that they get when they enlist. Under the contracts made with army tailors the Government is supposed to be supplied with uniforms to fit every kind of man, but as a matter of fact no recruit has ever been known to be fitted. I can imagine nothing funnier than a group of young recruits in uni forms that leave wrists and ankles bare, and bulge at the waist enough to hold another man of the same size, trying to conceal their embarrassment. Of course they are marked men with the old-timers, and suffer even more from their gibes than from the con sciousness of being guys. But as every company is supplied with a tailor and they are allowed to draw cloth as soon ai they get to their regi ments, they are soon neatly fitted and respectable. It is not until then that they begin to take the least pride in their calling or to realize that they are the equals of the older men. For what between the relation that they bear to their officers, and the suffering that they have endured drilling they are pretty welFsubdued by the time they are ready to quit the awkward squad and do guard duty. "The three months of drilling that a recruit generally has to go through before he becomes a first-class man is an ordeal, but it makes a man of him ; at least so far as carriage and appear ance goes. He comes in, say from the backwoods, with lumps of lazy fat on him the size of my fist and a stoop in the shoulders that would make an out sider declare him incapable of ever straightening. But an old drill ser geant knows-more than that and has peculiar methods of his own that work miracles. It is either very hot or very cold on the parade ground, and by the time he has been put through the 'setting up' drill, in which there, are eighteen exercises, he is half dead, but the lumps of fat roll off of him and thc stoop goes away, and when he takes his place in ranks he is lean and straight, and altogether a soldier. He complains some while it is going on, but in the end be appreciates the value of it and approves of it as one of the great institutions of the .service. "There is something remarkable about the regard that the regulars have for the flag, and that is one of the first things that impresses a young soldier. There is nothing that one uf them will resent quicker than a re flection upon it. It ranks everything and everybody. If a general olficer and the flag pass at the same time the soldier salutes the flag and lets the general pass uunoticed. Other people have their States and Counties, and towns, .and homes, but the soldier in the regular army has only his flag and is at home wherever it floats. "But the hard work aud lack of re cognition from his superiors should not deter :a young man from entering ?he army. He may have to wash dishes, scrub stoves, cut wood, carry water and go through the setting up drill ; but if he is bright and intelli gent he may earn a commission after a. while. Half as many private sol diers as West Pointerg received com missions last year as second lieuten ants, and the chances of eventually wearing shoulder straps are good." - m . i - Henry ? ard Beecher's Idea Heaven. "I could hardly wish to enter heav en, did I believe its inhabitants were idly to sit by purling streams, fanned by balmy air.'' ..Heaven, to be a place of happiness, must be u place of activity. Has thc far reaching mind of Newton ceased its profound investigations? Has David hung up his harp as useless as ?be dusty arms in Westminster Ab bey? ITas Paul, glowing with God like enthusiasm, ceased itinerating the universe of God? Are Peter and Cyp rian and Kdwards and Payson and Evarts idling away an eternity in mere psalm singing? Heaven is a palace ni' restless activity, the abode of never tiring thought. David and [saiah will sweep nobler and loftier strains in eternity, and tho minds of saints will forever feast on the banquet ol' rich and glorious thought. My young friends, go on : you will never Lr?'t through. An eternity of untiring action is before you, ami the universe ol' thought is your afield.'" M. L.

"I will have to quit business if this thiDg continues," said a well known King street merchant to a reporter for the Neios and Courier yesterday. "I am in a great deal of trouble and the chances are that my life is in dan ger." An expression of curiosity induced him to continue, and he said: "It's not my fault, you know; it's all misfortune. For the past year or so I have been having a great deal of trouble with collectors. You see, run ning a retail business, with several hundred people on your books at the end of every month, you have to have something of a hustler to keep you out of thc suds. The first man I had was an old chap who needed a nice, light job and promised to give a kind of tone to the place. He was a very good old fellow, but he knew so little about hustling that after the first week, or so the hard cases quit dodging him altogether, and got to slapping him on the back and calling him "old chap." "I soon saw that he wouldn't do, and tried a sleek young fellow, who caine here with a patent door bell, or something of the kind. Fortunately I required a bond of him, and when he went to free Cuba recovered the $3lj.40 that he took with him from the surety company. That was the near est that I ever came to contributing to the cause of Cuba Libre, by the way, and ? don't care to repeat thc experi ence. "Following the patent door bell man, I tried three or four young fel lows who thought they knew how to brace the backsliders, and found my self gradually getting further and fur ther behind. You have no idea of the number and variety of games that the delinquents are up to, and I was forced to acknowledge, as one after another went, that my collectors were unequal to the task. Even a profes sional collector, who runs an agency and claims to get more blood out of a turnip than any other man in the city, was compelled to acknowledge after a short but heroic struggle, that he found my crowd about the toughest he had ever tackled. Somehow or other he seemed to think that I had had the ill luck to get every particularly hard case in the city on my books, and frankly advised me to burn my bills and advertise for a new set of custom ers. I might do better, he said, andi could not do worse. "Well, things went on in that way until ten days ago, and I had about made up mind to'present mytcustom ers with clear receipts and go into bankruptcy; when a red-headed boy came into thc office arid asked for a job. He had a blue mark around his left eye. and his nose was fully half an inch out of plumb, but he had a straightforward manner that attracted me to him, and I asked him if he could collect bills. It was easy to see from the confidence of his reply that he had never collected a bill in his life, though he claimed to have de voted the better part of his life to it. So to take a little of the starch out of him I carefully picked out a few of the worst I had-time-worn specimens that had broken the hearts ef his pre decessors-and told him I would give him 10 per cent, for all he could get out of them. Ile had some very good references, and 1 wasn't particularly anxious anyway, as I had no idea lie would ever get his hands on a cent. So I sent him out. A few minutes later I had occasion to go up the street, and at the corner fell in with a crowd making for a storm center on the next block. Thinking that a street car had run over somebody I fell in with it an fought my way to the scene of the trouble. Imagine my surprise when I found, not a mangled victim oi> electricity, but my new col lector demolishing the features of the hardest case on my books. His own features were fairly well disguised with knuckle marks, but thc other man looked like a Whitehead torpedu had sfruck him. A policeman caine up about that time, and I lost another hour g?ing up to thc Station House to deposit good money for his appearance before the Recorder next day. When I asked iiim to explain he said: 'The jay tried to get gay with li i ni about a bill and he had to call him down. *'We took him back in the office, and washed some bf the blood off of him, and cautioned him about getting into trouble. He seemed really eon trite and went out again, assuring ns that he would bc careful. "Au hour or so later thc 'phone rant; and SOUK; one up at the I'olice 1 Station said that they had our collec tor up there for assaulting a man on East Hay street. There was nothing t'i J" b'ut un ii|> and make another de posit, and give liim another lecture, lint lat'' that evening he had another mau up near the SouthCarolina depot, and. managing tn eseape. came down triumphant with six dollars and sev enty cents that had been outstanding for nearly t wo years.

Now every ti man comes in thc door I getunde counter. And I have more trc with thc women than with the There have been seven of the here to-day to complain of an in ing collector, who brought bills had been satisfied long ago, and them he couldn't afford to be roi by them any longer. One of t charged him with having threateue levy on her false teeth, and ano said he called her husband a bi steerer, and offered to clean out establishment unless there was : dollars and seventy-three cents fo coming.

When he finishe will persuade him to enlist in i navy and go to Cuba." - m ? - - The Clare of the Hands. I _ That white wonder-a woma hand-over which artists have v&y and poets sung, requires much ea training, as well as great care. 1 etiquette of the hand is as imports as the care of it,%for, no matter h beautiful the hand, it loses half grace and charm if it is awkwarc and incorrectly and gawkily used. The well-bred woman should alwa remember that her hands should nev be conspicuous. Xo matter how infi mal the occasion, she should nov stand with her hands on her hi] She may consider it an attractive pos but such an action is never becomi to a gentlewoman. She should never use her hand pointing, nor should she beckon to ? acquaintance in public places, both cases she is not only making h hand conspicuous, but stamping he self ill bred. Both men and women should alwa] pay particular-attention to thc care i their hands. They should nevi allow their nails to grow long ac they should always be kept scrupi lously clean and like clear pearl, is vulgar to manicure the nails to c: cess. They should never be overpo ished, cut to extreme points, nor b artificially rouged to au unnatura over rosy and ..brilliantine" hue. N woman, no matter how nervous he temperament, should ever bite he nails. By doing so she not only ir jures her health, but presents a mo* undignified picture. The woman wh bites her nails immediately puts hoi self upon a level with a baby wh sucks his thumb : and so does a man The heavily bejeweled hand is no in such good taste as that of the wo man who wears a very few. but exceed ly handsome rings. Thc overloading of the lingers with rings is the wo rs possible taste, and the woman win wears diamonds on her thumbs i nothing less than vulgarity personified The practice ol' adopting every fash ?unable hand-shake is to bc condemn ed. Strike thc happy medium am always shake hands heartily : never ii a pump-handle manner : not as if ii were au absolute bore. The awkward man has nu limit tc the troubles with his hands. Hi never knows what to do with them consequently they add much to hi.? awkwardness. What an estimable blessing his pockets are to him uudei such a stress, lt is not only the awk ward man, unused to society, but thc man of fashion, who needs instruction in the proper usc of his hands. No mau should stand with his hands in his pocket in tin; presence of a woman. 11 is at least disrespectful. Not even in business hours should j a man .-land with his thumbs in the j armholes of his waistcoat, lt is nut I only ungontlcmanlike- it is simply I boorish. The well-bred man never puts out his hand until the lady first offers hers. A ?nan should never shake hands with ? woman while wearing his gloves, unless she also is gloved. A rn,in always removes his gime from his right hand on entering a drawing-room when making a call. Mrs. ./'//". / ><>,( Pin t's, ?in ,S7. Dotti's Wi - ,,nilli,-. * Washington s Cnp. The following story was related to the editor of the Natchez, Miss., Dem ocrat and another journalist while on a visit to the sage of Dunbarton: "Many years ago," said Colonel Claiborne, "when I had planting in terests in Madison and Holmes coun ties, I used to ride through the coun try on horseback, and as I was in fee ble health I usually had in my saddle bag a bottle of good old brandy. This I had to economize, as it was not to be obtained on the route. Stopping one day at the log cabin of a good old man-I will call him Shaw-before taking the dinner he had prepared, I drew out my bottle, and. of course, invited my host to join me in testing the virtues of my Otard. My host, looking at the bottle, very considerate ly, as I thought, declined my invita tion .on thc score that there was not probaly more of the brandy than would last me to the end of my' jour ney. Keally appreciating the consid eration of my friend, I insisted on his joining me in a drink, and, as further inducement told him that the cup from which he would drink had once been the property of General Washington, and that he would have the pleasure of drinking from a cup which had touched the lips of the father of his country. " 'This cup, you say, belonged to the immortal Washington, the father of his country? Then I will take a drink from it.' So saying, he poured out a stiff horn, and having smacked his lips over it, a thought seemed to strike him, and he called out, 'Oh! Mrs. Shaw, come here, if you please. Mrs. Shaw,' said he, 'this cup was the property of thc immortal Washington, and has touched the lip3 of the father of his country. You must take a sip of good brandy from this venerable relic' So she poured out another drink from my bottle, which was quaffed with a relish by Mrs. Shaw. My friend again called out: 'Oh! Polly Shaw, come here, my daughter. Here is a cup that once belonged to thc im mortal Washington, and has touched the lips of the father of his country. You, my daughter, must take a sip of good brandy from this valuable relic' Miss Polly did not object, and another draft was made upon my supply of Otard. "There was now buta single dose of my precious medicine left, and I was watching it with some anxiety, when a new impulse seemed to inspire my friend Shaw, and he cried out: "Bring Claiborne Shaw herc' Flattered by the knowledge that a scion of the Shaw family was dubbed with my own pa tronymic, I awaited thc arrival of Clai borne Shaw, who proved to be a chub by little feliow of two or three years of age. 'Claiborne Shaw,' said thc father, 'here is a cup which belonged to the immortal Washington, and which has touched the lips of the father of his country. You, my son, are too young to sip from this venera ble relic, hut your father will sip it in your stead.' Saying which, he pour ed the la>t drop of my old brandy into the cup and devoured it, in honor of the immortal Washington, the father of his country. " It is impossible for the system to withstand the demands made upon it just at this season, with out the assistance of a good puri fying and strengthening tonic. The changes which Nature decrees shall take place each soring ar*1 so severe that a breakdown is almost sure to come. It is wiso that all possible assistance be given during this period, as upon this purifying process depends the heal' i for thc entire summer. Everybody just now should lake a thorough course of Swift's Specific r?-w?The which thoroughly clonuses tho blood of all tho accumulated im purities, tones tip and strengthens the entire system, und aids Nature in renovating and renewing the body so as to render it healthy and strong. Those who purify their blood with S. S. S. at this season are well fortified against the many forms of disease so prevalent dur ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the system t hat is thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist, disease all summer. No ot,her remedy on the market is equal to Swift's Specific us a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem edy and is guaranteed absolutely free from potash., mercury und all other minerals, lt cleanses, puri fies, builds up and strengthens. Insist onS. S. Sj., for there is noth ing, half as good. The well known poem, "Curfew Shall Not Ring To night," in which a young wo man by hanging to the curfew bell saves the life of her lover condemn ed to be executed at the ringing of the curfew, is only one of a thousand strik ing instances of how a woman will dare everything for love. Women are readier to make heroic sacrifices than they are to take the commonplace,? everyday precautions which insure their great-, est happiness. Most wo men are careless about their health. They for get that physical weak ness and disease will wreck the fairest chance in life and shut them out completely from happy womanhood and wifehood. Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women are robbed of their natural attractiveness and capacity. They lose healthy color and energy and ambition. The blood becomes poor and thin and laden with disease-germs. "The :rue antidote for this condition is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It acts directly upon the digestive powers and the liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free from bilious impurities; it renovates every organ and tissue of the body, building up hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength and imparting nerve power and permanent vitality, which malt extracts do not give. Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby. Perry Co., Ind., writes: "lu the year of 1894"! was taken with Itoraach trouble- nervous dyspepsia. There was n coldness in my stomach, and a weight which teemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation; was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge around my right side, ind in a short time I was bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy sicians but got no relief. I was so weak I could not walk across the room without assistance. Then Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to me and I got it, and commenced the use of it. I began to improve very fast after the use of a few bottles. The physicians said icy Sisease was leading into pulmonary consump tion, and gave me up to die. I thank God that my cure is permanent." THE BANK OF ANDERSON.
