CRAIG. November 2, 1858.—The regular mili- tary force of the United States at the yrsent time, according to information 'rom the War De;lflment published to- day, consists of 19 regiments of the line, divided between the different branches of the service as follows: Five regiments of Cavalry, four regiments of Artillery and ten regiments of Infantry. ‘The egate strength of the rank and file of all arms is 13,000 men. This small Army covers an area of more than 2,000,000 square miles, which is nearly two-thirds as large as all Europe, There are approximately 1,100 com- missioned officers in the Army, includ- ing 100 medical officers. Eight hundred and fifty of the commissioned officers are graduates of the United States Military Academy and 250 have been appoinied from civil life, The nativity of the officers of the Army is as follows: Born in the United States, 1,060; in Ireland, 14; in Pr: 8; in England, 6; in Germany, 3; Scotland, 2; in Austria, 1; in Italy, 1; in Poland, in Spain, in Cuba, 1; in Turkey, 1, and at sea, 3. ‘The available military strength of the United States is estimated to be 3,.- 000,000 effective men, of whom 500,000 are claimed by the State of New York.

The animal jumped to one side just as the carriage was about to pass through the gate and one of the wheels struck against a stone in which the iron gate is hung.

On Sunday, November 3, Nancy an Peter were to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Nancy had looked up the anniversary and found that it was “leather.” She could not ine any kind of celebration with leather as the motif. Then, too, the Pages would soon be moving into their new home and they were saving their entertaining for their housewarmin and similar occasions. So they decide: against a friendly gathering. But Peter and Nancy approved their own celebrating. Peter bought tickets for a good play. They were to go down town for dinner in the most festive | restaurant they could find. Then the lay and then a supper afterward, if hey were not too tired. In addition each one had selected a ift for the other. Nancy's gift to 'eter was a bilifold of genuine pigskin. It was made to hold the new bills and was s0 well made that it lay flat. without any bulging or bulkiness. T is the kind of a billfold a man likes, Nency had discovered. But she hoped that Peter had enough money to cause the billfold to bulge in the right way. His gift to her was not leather, al- though he looked at leather handbags. She needed a new bag for evening, and the festive occasion seemed as good as any to provide it. He chose a beauti- fully plain seeded pear] bag. He was torn between that and s bag of coral beaded quite like the seed pearl. There was one of petit point, another of Beau- vals and a flat envelope of broeade.

DIM DOROTHY DIX—My sister and I have good husbands and nice homes and each has two children. I keep my home orderly, give my family ex- cellent food and my children good care and my husband and I are happy. But I also have interests outside of my home. I belong to a couple of clubs and we have & host of friends whose companionship we enjoy. , My sister devotes her entire time to her She goes nowhere. Has no friends. And she claims that the ideal mother should have no interests outside of her home and that she needs no association besides her husband and children and that if they do not fill her life completely there is something wrong with her. Which of us is right? MRS. E, J. C. Answer: You are, as your sister will find out to her sorrow when her chiidren grow up and leave her and when she will be s lucky woman if she has even her husband left to her in her empty house, for there is mothing that drives a man out of a home as quickly and surely as having a wife who has grown dull from staying in it too much. Your sister thinks that in absorbing herself in her family she is binding her husband and her children to her with hoops of steel. In reality she is taking the surest way of alienating them from her, because she is not keeping step with them and she does not go with them in the world in which they live. The women who keep close to their husbands and children are not those who stay at home all the time and wash and scrub for them. They are those who trot along with them to ball games and who have read the Jast new novel and seen the newest movie and can dance the latest jazz step. . Your sister thinks that her children and husband will be filled with -atitude toward her and remember how she was always walting for them when gmy came home and how hard she worked for them and how she picked up after them, but they won't remember that and show her the appreciation that she craves. They will remember that she never had on anyt! but mm:' aprons, They won't think of her as a self-abnegating angel, y will k of her as a drudge. For, after all, husbands and children are human, and it is very human to take ple at their own valuation and to look up to and respect the wife and mother who puts herself on a pedestal and to look down on the wife and mother who makes herself nothing but & doormat. Also it is human and natural to wipe your feet on a doormat. And husbands and children always do it after a woman has taught them to do so. ‘The woman who counts it unto herself for righteousness narrowed her interests down to the four walls of her house and who boasts that she never goes anywhere and has given up all her old friends since she married makes a fatal mistake. She makes & mistake because she grows dull and narrow snd bores husband and children to extinction. Every detail of their lives may be absorbing interest to her, but they don’t want to hear over and over again about how much she paid for the roast and how the baby nearly swallowed a button and how she cleaned out the kitchen cabinet, There are dinner tables at which the food is led down in dead silence and from which husband and children flee as quickly as they can because the wife and mother is one of those dear domestic women whose gamut of eon- versation runs from the vacuum cleaner to the cook stove and back again. And there are other homes where there are laughter and gay talk and where mother keeps the conversational ball rolling because she is ‘xll of pep and she has been downtown and picked up a dosen funny little stories or she has attended a club and is full of gossip or she has done a dozen things that keep her abreast of the times and make her the best of good company. There may have been a time when husbands and children were satisfied with & wife and mother who was nothing but a wife and mother, but that time is past. A wife and mother has to be a pal and comrade and able to go all the galts to satisfy the modern demand of a family, Purthermore, the woman who stays put in her own house and has no social contacts does her husband and children a great justice because she does not make for them the place in the sun they have a right to expect her to make. A popular wife is one of the best business assets & man can have. She makes cllents and customers for him and sings his praises where they do him good. And & mother who has kept her friends and her place in soclety can open the right doors to her children when they are grown, Furthermore, the woman is bound to be a burden on her own children when they marry unless she has kept up with her friends and has other interests than them. Half of the women who hang like millstones about their children’s necks are those misguided women who have been so absorbed in their families that they have no other interest in life and have to and live with their married sons and daughters, no matter how unwanted y are. Believe me, the wise woman is the one who lives as full and broad s life as she can and who keeps many anchors to the windward. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1929.)

The Small Door. ‘Text—"Enter ye in at the straight gate."—Matt., vii.13. It is & small gate by which the King- dom of Heaven is entered—so small that one must become as a little child to pass through it. “Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. It you would enter the Divine King- dam, Jesus says, “Enter by the small door.” The door is too small for the big “I” man. Men cannot go in thereat as big bankers, big financiers. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of & needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God"—too much exdess baggage, too much puffed-up vanity. It is by 2 “gmall door” that all king- doms are en —the king-~oms of art, music, letters, science, business. “Who hath despised the day of small things?” He will likely be despised in the day of great things.

The most ordinary forms of it will yield to any of the following treatments. Some- thing hot in the stomach will draw the blood down from the brain, which will bring on sleep. A great many people find that a cup of hot milk or a cup of hot chocolate is effective; per- sonally, I find milk hard to digest late at night, and chocolate so stimulating that I am wide awake at once. For myself I find that & cup of extremely hot, very weak tea, preferably taken with & little lemon and sugar, far more soothing to the nerves than any other drink. If the tea is strong it will stimulate, but if it is weak it ‘will not. One or two cups of hot water should have the same effect in case you dislike tea.
