BEER IS SUPPLANTING WHISKEY. STONEWALL JACKSON. The Last Hours of the Great Southern Chieftain. About daylight upon the Sun day of his death Mrs. Jackson, informed him that his recovery was very doubtful, and that it was better that we should pre pare for the worst. He was silent for a moment and then said: "It will be in finite gain to be translated to heaven." He advised his wife, in the event of his death, to re turn to her father's house, and added: "You have a kind and good father,. but there is no one so kind and good as your Heav enly Father." He still expressed a hope that lie would recover, but requested his wife, in case he should die, to have him buried in Lexing ton, in the Valley of Virginia. His exhaustion increased so rap idly that at 1 1 o'clock Mrs. Jacks son knelt by his bed and told him that before the sun went down he would be with his Saviour. He replied: "9, no! You are irightcned, my child. Death is not so near. I may yot get well." She fell upon the bed weep ing bitterly, and again told him, amid her tears and sobs, that the physicians declared that there was no longer any hope for his recovery. After a moment's pause he asked her to call the family phy sician. "Doctor," he said, as the phy sician entered the room, "Annie informed me that you told her I am to die tosday, Is it so?" When he was answered in the affirmative, he turned his sunken eyes toward the ceiling and gazed for a moment or two as if in in tense thought, then looked at the friends about his bed and .said softly: "Very good, very good it is all right." Then turning to his heait broken wife, he tried to comfort her. He told her that there was much he desired to tell her, but that he was too weak for the undertaking. CoL Pendleton, one of the officers of his siaff, came into the room about I o'clock. Gen. Jackson asked him: "Who is preaching at the headquarters to-day?" When told in reply .that the whole army was praying for him. he replied: 'Thank God! They are very kind." Then he added: "It is the Lord's day; my wish is ful filled. I have always desired to die on Sunday." Slowly his mind began to fail and wander, and he frequently talked in his delirium as if in command of his army on the field of battle, He would give orders to his aides in the old way, and then the scene changed. He was at the mess-table in cou vcrsasion with members of his staff; now with his wife and child; now at prayers with his family. Occasional intervals of a return of his mind would ap pear, and during one of them the physician offered the dying man some brandy and water, but he declined it, saying: "It would only delay my de parture and do no good; I want to preserve my mind to the last, if possible." A few moments before the end arrived the dying warrior cried out in his delirium; "Order A. P. Hill to prepare! for action!" "Pass the infantry to the front rapidly!" "Tell Major Hawkes--,"Theu his voice was silent, and the sen tence remained unfinished. An instant later a smile of ineffable sweetness and purity spread itself over his calm, pale face, and then looking upward, and slightly raising his hands, he said quietly, and with an ex pression of relief: "Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." And then without a sign of a struggle or of pain his spirit passed away. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. ITEMS GA'IHEfRED HERE THERE BY CHARLES MORGAN. April Wisdom.

So great is the influence of a sweet-minded woman on those around her that it is almost boundless. It is to her that friends come in seasons of sick ness and so: row for help and comfort. One soothing touch of her kindly hands works won ders in the feverish child; a few words let fall front her lips in the ear of a sorrowing sister do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing its victim dowu to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pressure of business and feeling irritable with the world in general, but when he enters the cozy sitting-room and sees the blaze of the blight fire and meets his wife's smilinar face he succumbs m a moment to the soothing influences, which act as the balm of Gilead to his wounded spirit. We are all worried with combating the re alities of lite. The rough school boy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companion to find solace in the mother's smile; the little one, full of grief with its own large trouble, finds a heaven of rest on its mother's breast; and so one may jo on with in stances of the influence a sweet minded woman has in the social life with which she is connected. Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers. -- Mrs. A. Inveen, residing at 720 Henry St., Alton, 111., suffer ed with sciatic rheumatism for over eight months. She doctored for it nearly the whole of. this time, using various remedies recommended by friends, and was treated by the physicians, but received 110 relief. She then used one and a half bottles of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which effected a complete cure. This is published at her request, as she wants others similarly afflict ed to know what cured her. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by W. W. Griggs & Son. As a Nation We Are Using Less Strong Stimulants. The internal revenue receipts of the United States Govern ment for the last fiscal year show an increase of about 1 per cent, in the income from the tax on spirits, whereas the revenue raised by the tax on malt and other fermented liquors increased no less than 6 per cent. The rates of taxation were not chang ed, so that the increase in re ceipts corresponds with the exs pansion of the market for the liquors taxed. These figures seem to prove that the consumption of spirits is not increasing in the United States as fast as the population. It is evident that the rate of growth in the last fiscal year was not much more than half as much as the rate of gain in the number of inhabitants. On the ether hand, the reve nue from the tax on beer and similiar liquors indicates that the use of such alcoholic bever ages is fast outrunning the in crease of the population. It is not probable that thenumber of inhabitants of the United States is growing at the rate of moie than 2 per cent, a year, and if that is so, the consumption of beer showed an increase last year about three times as great, in proportion, as the growth of the country. This means that we are be coming more like the continen tal countries of Europe, as a na tion, in the use of stimulants, and there ought to be much less drunkenness in proportion to the number of drinkers than there used to be when whiskey used to be the great American tipple.

Don't describe an unusual oc currence as funny. Don't say not so good as, for not as good as. Don't say I feel good, for I feel well. Don't say she looked beauti fully, but she looked beautiful. Don't sav these kind, but this kind. Don't say I have blacked my shoes, but I have blackened my shoes. Don't say fix my gown, fix this room but arrange my gown, the the room. The best English authorities rarely use fix, except to indicate stability or penna neuce. Don't speak of articles of dies as healthy, but as healhfui or wholesome. Don't say between three, but among three. Don't stiy cunning for small, gmart for bright or quick-witted, cute for acute. Don't say had rather, had bet ter, for would rather, would better.
