GOSSIP OF THE GUARD. EZ-ADJFM.KT General Hasttnos, Is spend ing a few days in the city. He still takes an active Interest in the guard all over the State. A XErrnro of the officers of the Fourteenth Regiment is called for Monday evening, April 18, for the purpose of organizing an of ficers' school. Bkioade Quaeterxasteb A J. Looaj, is still rusticating in the South seeding an im provement In health. He lately made a trip over to Cuba and was considerably bene fited by the journey. He will remain In the South until late in the spring. The warrants for the armory rents and rifle practice appropriations were lssned from the brigade headquarters last week. Each company gets 1200 for rent purposes, and those qualifying tnereqnlslte number of men get $50 for range purposes. A bill was reported favorably in Congress last week authorizing the Secretary of War to issue for the use of the national guard any 3K-inch muzzle-loading rifle field guns, wrought iron, or any breech-loading steel Hotchklss or Gatllng guns which may be on hand and not needed lor the service of the regular forces. The commissions of two of the Captains of the Eighteenth Regiment expire before the next encampment, that of Captain John P. Penny, of Company G, May 7, and that of Capta'in O. C. Coon, of McKeesport, July 9. Neither of the gentlemen will have any trouble being commissioned for another five years, as both are enthusiastic guardsmen, and are at the head of good companies. The probabilities are that the Ninth Regi ment will shortly have an entirely new lot of field officers. Colonel Keck and his Lieu tenant Colonel are interested in mining speculation in the West, and are compelled to be away from the regiment most of their time, while Major Plicehas-been 111 forquite a while past and Intends to resign shortly. Colonel Keck has succeeded in making the Ninth one of the best regiments in the State, and bis leaving the organization will be felt severely. The line officers of the Fifth Regiment met at the Logan House, Altoona, last Friday night and elected Captain Rufus Elder of Company G, Lewistown, Major of the regi ment. There were several other candidates in the field for the position, bnt Major El der's election was made unanimous. The number of officers present was remarkably Urge, aud after the election considerable business or importance was transacted. The new tactics were discussed pretty freely and it was decided to hold the next enoamp ment of the regiment at Altoona, providing snitabl arrangements could be made. The officers of the regiment were congratulated on the successful manner In which the spring Inspections were passed. Geneiul Wiley announced the appoint ment of two new names on his personal staff last week. They were those of J. J. Miller as Judge Advocate and William singer as Brigade Commissary. Major Miller Is a well-known attorney of this city, and bis appointment will prove most acceptable. It is to be hoped that the affairs In the law department of the Second Brigade will now be given some attention, and that It will be possible to get a court martial when It is re quired, a thing unknown to occur during the term or the previous Judge Advocates. Major Singer, tho new Chief of the Commis sary Department is well known to the Second Brigade, having been a member of General Wiley's non-commissioned staff for a number of years. He has a thorough knowledgo of his duties troni being associ ated with Major Curtain, his predecessor. CiPTAnr Hukt Is diligentiy.at work In structing the members of Battery B In the foot movements of the new tactics. The new drill regulations for the batteries have not yet been printed although requisitions havo been in for some time, so the best the battery can do Is to go through the parts applicable from the infantry tactics and considerable time Is being lost as a conse quence. It lias been decided that the bat teries of the State will go to camp dis mounted this year, as was done-six years ago, in order to save as much as possible of the State appropriation. This decision is hailed with joy by the members of Captain Hunts command, as it means much less hard work in the field and as a consequence more time lor pleasure. A number of the members of the Dattery participated in the performances of the "Diummer Boy" last week, and have received a vote of thanks from Post S, G. A B,, for their services. Ait important meeting was held at the Seventh Avenue Hotel last Monday. It was called by Adjutant General Greenland, and there were present besides himself General Wiley and the commandants of the several organizations of the brigade. One of the questions discussed was the new tactics and the possibility of electing an extra major in each regiment as contemplated by the tac tics in the division of the regi ments into two battalions each. It was decided that while the State oode as It now stands would admit of an ad ditional Major to each regiment it would be better to bold off such elections until there was a reorganization in some of the regi ments, and for the present the senior cap tains will command tho second battailous. The subject ot the regular encampments next summer was also brought up at the meeting, and while General Wiley very strongly favored a biigade encampment similar to the one held last year. General Greenland stated that there was not enough money available for tho purpose, and the camps would have to be held by regiment. All the eolonels present at the meeting favored regimental encampments anyhow. A number of other matters concerning the brigade were discussed.

Carlos Bran, who is familiar with Venezuelan affairs, arrived this morning. He reports business almost at a standstill at Caracas on account of the disturbed oondition of the country. A fierce battle took place between the Gov ernment forces and the rebels March 29 at Trujillo, in which 160 men were killed and a large number wounded. The Government force! were under com mand of General Ciprfous'Cdstri, and were sent out into the oountry to ljreak up gath ering of rebels, Concentrating at Buglllo, under command oi General) Aranjo, the Government forces came upqp the rebels earlv in the morning. A strangling fire im mediately commenced.'- Thet rebels were slightly superior In number but greatly deficient in discipline and eauibment, Thev fought from behind trees, rocks, and other, points of vantage and kept uttan intermit tent fire. The Government forces made a charge and drove rebels fromlbehind their shelter. The latter again rallied in a piece of woods and made a stubborn resistance. After the firing had been kept up for about an hour the Government forces were or dered to penetrate the .woods and clear out rebels. It was at this 'point the heaviest fighting was done. The Government forces were repulsed, bnt again rallied, and owing to their superior discipline and arms were able to scatter the rebels. The latter fled in all directions and left the troops under Cos tri victorious. ' i, AN ILLUSTRIOUS VICTIM OF XEELET. Fltshurh Lee's Dissipated ' Nephew, of Wheeling, Ends flls Own Life.

Among the queries sent to Shirley Dare by readers of The Dispatch, she hat found time to answer the following: Mrs. C.-E. (1) I wish you would tell me what to take for an ofiensive breath. I think, perhaps, .it is from my teeth. -Very likely. The cheapest and readiest antiseptic is borax, which figures in standard tooth washes. A half-pound box, which costs 20 cents, will last a year. Dissolve one-eighth of a teaspoonful, i. e. a good pinch, in half a glass of warm water, and brush the teeth and rinse the mouth with it several times a day. It will prevent decay of the teeth. A very little may be swallowed with good effect Apinch of borax dissolved in the mouth slowly, but not swallowed, heals canker speedily. (2 My daughter is troubled with per spirmion under the arms since she was a cnild, and it ruins her dresses. "What is to be done? Wash under the arms night and morning with a strong, hot solution of common salt, 1 tablespoouful in 25 of water. This is said to keep all parts of the body which secrete freely in the sweetest and healthiest condi tion. Cold sage tea drank at night on go ing to bed prevents night sweats, and may be of use in this case. Where one set of glands do orerwork, as in excessive sweat ing, it is plain that others don't do enough. M. E. 1". What would you prescribe for something like pimples on the forehead and breast not exactly pimples, as they form no head, but are little hard substances under the skin? These are a sort of blind acne which re solves and are absorbed at the base, instead of the surface, and are so noticed in medi cal books. Try cream of tartar, which is a valued remedy in inflammatory skin , dis eases, even to smallpox and erysipelas. Tour a pint of water on two tablespoonfuls of cream of tartar from the druggist's, and drink it, sweetened with some essence of lemon or the zest of lemon rind.lt is a pleasant drink, and should be taken as agreeable, one glass before breakfast if possible. Take this three days every month, when per fectly well, and use a pleasant weaker solu tion Detween times. The first doxes are best taken hot to obtain full effect, but they may be taken cold dr hot as desired. The cream of tartar taken of tho strength pre scribed has great repute as a cure for small pox, and is good in erysipelas. It is barely possible that these kernels under a very fair skin may be of a scrofulous nature, when lemons and acid grape juice, with the best diet and sea air possible, are preven tives of more 'serious consequences. If we only learn to meet trifling initial symptoms, we can afford to laugh at grave disorders. If people would take the care to preserve health that they do to cure disease, it would be but a name. Beally there is no occasion for disease now, for railroads and electric accidents keep up the mortality without it. Kitty M My hands are roughened and out of shape from hard work, particularly my right hand, the knuckles of whioh are stiff and large. Can you suggest any means of making them presentable. It is so notable and fine to hear of a .woman who can own to being capable of hard work that one feels like bowing over that misshapen right hand with more re spect than goes to a queen's salute. To put one's muscles to practical, strenuous use knits the mental fiber as no art can without it; muscle reacts upon brain in a way which puts the latter very much under obligation. However, one may do a good deal of work without gaining "knuckles." The change from very hot water to cold air has more to do with thick, stiff joints than work. Once it would have been thought impossible to reduce unsightly bones, but nowadays doc tors think very little of refining a clumsy joint and work away at a coarse bone with pentratmg absorbents and bandages till it is molded into form. Given sufficient vigor, and one can grow bones and teeth to order. To improve bands, buy a quart of. salad oil that is cotton or peanut oil to use for hand-baths; het t it in a tin saucepan, have the bands delicately clean and dry, and soak them in the warm oil 10 or 15 min utes, keeping it hot as comfort will allow, and working the joints gently to supple them. If they are at all sore, rub them many times a day with a cut lemon, letting the juice dry in. Faint them at night with warm Canada balsam, or warm extract of witch hazel One word to all the admirable women who do their own housekeeping. Spare, save in a good many things if need fl, but among the "must-haves," first of all write a good washing machine, one of the old simple rocking washers, if vou have to buy it second hand. It is worth all the new inventions I have been able to find in ten years. Tfie cradle-washers can be worked with less strain than the circular ones; they cleanse the clothes safely and thoroughly, and spare the hands this drudg er of "rubbing out" on the washboard, which hands were never made for. Rub bing and hot water distort hands worse than all other use. I am told that these easy rocking washers are not made now, but I mention them in hope some man will have sense to bring them out again. He will, if women have the wit to ask for them and take no others, for I freely say that among the modern washers I do not know one which I would take as a gift. WET 8HZ WEHT IHT0 XOTCUnxa Not Her Husband, Nor Brother, Hor rather That Died, but Her Poodle. She sat half languid in a black Victoria in front of a Broadway establishment for fash ionable mourning goods in New York. She was young and handsome and dressed in deep mourning. The coachman and the footman were also in solemn black and bore the facial appearance of professional under takers. The horses were black, as was also every bit of harness. The poodle at the lady's feet was as black as the luxurious robe on which he reclined so nearly like the robe was it, indeed, that but for the blinking eyes that nervously followed the movement of the passing throng it would not have been seen. To say the sable-outfit attracted attention is putting it mildly. The head of the mourning goods establishment was evidently keeping it there as long as possible. A gentleman paused and passed polite words of condolence with the lady in the carriage, who caressed the black poodle with her shapely foot. "Poor fellowi1 she sighed. "He took it very hard." "Indeed ? Did he then suffer so much 1" "Oh, not much, perhaps; but, you know, it must have been very disagreeable." ,IWell, yes, rathef, said the gentleman, with a touch of satire in his voice. "He kicked dreadfully at the last" " "Kicked,' did he?"' mused the gentle man, with half a smile. "Well, well, well! I didn't thiuk Jack would 'kick' at such a little thing as dyingl" " 'Jack!' you "horrible man! I'm talking about Fido! I don't believe you've noticed him since we had him dyed I" and she gath ered the shivering poodle up in her arms indignantly. "Poor little fellowi Good morning, sir!" - Help for the Nerves. Celery probably stands first as a nerve food, and when eaten in quantities by those suffering from nervous exhaustion it proves of inestimable value. There are many medicines mad& chiefly out of this vegetable which cost considerable, but they are never bo effective as the genuine article itself. The celery need not be eaten at the table, but the stalks should be kept handy so that they can be chewed at any time. Eaten in the morning they will nourish the nerves for the day's trouble Brazilian XbMticals Banished. ElOjAJfElEO. April 16.
