"mistress" was not altogether elbowed

The General's Significant Statement
After Sailors Creek..
14y last official intercourse with Gen
eral Lee was on the retreat. I was

night of April i near Rice's station. I
approached without being challenged.
by a single Fentinel and found him
standing near a smolderuk 're with
one of his hands resting on an am
bulance wheel. He was dictating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat in
the ambulance with a lap desk receiv
ing his dictation. As General Lee
spoke he gazed into the bed of coals
as If weighing everY word. There was
no staff or escort about. so far as I
couid see. Touching Sailors Creek, be
spoe bitterly and said in answer to
Mr. Davs' desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that it was beyond hIs
control: that he had Intended to re.
treat by the line of the Danville 'oad.
but had been forced off that route by
the arrival of Sheridan ahead of him
at Burkville; that he was then follow
ing the line of the Southslde road to
Lynchburg, but the enemy was out
marching him and might force him off:
that his movements were dependent
on the developments of each hour. and
then he'added: "How can I tell? A
few more Sailors Creeks and it will all
be over-just where I.thought it would
end from the beginning." When I fist
published this ntatement its truthful
ness was question' oiunately 1
afterward saw two of his staff. both
of whom said they had heard him ex
press himself in the same way. There
may- have 'been times when General
Lee. elated by some of his surprising
successes, felt hopeful about the tri
umpli of our cause. From the. proba
hilltle3 based on numbers and resources
his judgment may have been varped
away now and then by the feeling he
axpressed when, after Second Manas
can. Sluirpsburg, Fredericksburg and
Chance:lorsville. he said. "No generni
ever commandedt such troops as tihoser
under me." Iut his mind was to,
mathematical in its workings. and all
its calculations were too habitually
bas(d upon what could be done wlth
a given number of men and a certain
amount of material to make him forget
the vast (irparity between the contest

A WITTY JUDGE.
His Conclusions on the Evidence of
' Ditto and True.
The late Hon. Noah Davis. well
known throughout the country as the
judge who tried and sentenced Iloss
Tweed. was justly celebrated in many
ways. He was of that type of jurist

famed during the half century follow

tinguished sons. He was slightly

a striking figure ln'any community. He
was a well read lawyer, an honest,
fair minded judge, with a keen sense
of humor and withal something. of a
writer ahd poet. The following lines
from his pen, written on the spur of
the moment and in the midst of a trial,
illustrat, the alertness and quality of
his mind. They are perhaps the best
play upon words of which we have any
record in the English language.
It was at the Niagara circuit in the
early seventies. Judge Davis presided.
An action in ejeetment was called.
The dispute was over a party wall or
a division line. It was purely a ques
tion for the divil engineer. The divi
sion line established and the case was
won. The defendant's attorney, u'ealis
Ing this, canled as expert witnesses the
Hon. John A. Ditto, city engineer of
Buffalo, and the Ron. A. Rt. True, the
engineer who constructed the canta
lever bridge Over Niagara river at the
falls, They were two of the most emi
nent civil engineers in 'the state. They
made a survey of the premises and es
tablished the division line as contended
for by the defendant and when called
to the witness stand so testified, giving
monuments, courses and distances with
such minute exactness that they could
not be successfully controverted. The
moment True, who followed Ditto as a
witness, left the stanU, Judge Davis
wrote these lines and passed them to
the clerk to hand to plaintiff's counsel:
Since True swears ditto to Ditto,
And Ditto swears ditto to Tru,
If True be true and DItto be ditto,
SI think they're too many for you.

HIBERNATION.
How and Why Some Animals Exist All
Winter Without Food.
The philosophy or n::turi of hiber
nation and why amid how it is that the
hibernating creatures can go so long
without food are interesting studies.
In the first place. the creature In or
der to enable it to sustain life through
out the long winter during which it
hibernates Is endowed with the capac.
ity of aecunuilating within its body a
large quantity of fat. This fat is to th
animal what a well stocked coal cellai
is to a fire, and until the whole of 11
has been consumed the tissue of thc
body proper remains untouched. 11
has been ascertained that nninals cat
endure the waste of tissue until i
amounts to .0 per cent of their norma
weight. Should the weight 'be -reducea
beyond that polut the result is death
But nature comes to the rescue of ti:
hibernating creatures In another way
When the hibernation begins, resphla
tion and digestion almost cease (f:
some cases they cease absolutely), and
the circulation is only just activ
enough to sustain life. As a conse
quence of this the wear nd tear Is ro
duced to the minmtumn. Vand the crea
ture is enabled to pull through.-Nevi

Frequently laymen who bee had w
casion to nettle the bills of surgeons
upon whom they have called in ex
tremities to use the knife are heard
to complain against what - they call
"the exorbitant charges of surgeons."
A skilled surgeon may charge $250
for a simple appendicltis operation.
The- patient, who never thinks of com- I
plalning until be Is convalescent, ob
jects oftentimes to paying - the bill. C
He says, "it Is ou.rageous for a our
geon to charge $230 for half an hour's C
work." 1
The question of surgeons" fees often I
puzzles a patient. He knows of one t
man upon whom a surgeon of wide' a
reputation bas operated and charged 3
only $75. He may know of another
who has paid $1,000 for the same op
eration. He cannot figure it out.
Yet surgeons of known ability and A
national, perhaps International, fame C
have,api general plan in charging for
operations. Their prices range from C
nothing to $5,000. They will operate 0
without any question of willingness or t
ability to pay in any case where the t(
situation is Imperative. Afterward A
they will present the bill. The general
public does not understand bow a sur
geon' will charge one man $50, another a
$250 and another $5,000. h
Surgeons have a fixed price scheme. 54
They aim to charge the patient about p
one month's income. They figure that tl
an-y person who is in such bad condi- 6
tion as to be forced to submit to a
surgical operation surely can afford to ci
give one month's incomo. They ascer- tl
tain roughly what a man makes per
month and send in a bill for that
amount. The man. whose income is
but $50 a month pays $50. The man b
who gets $5,000 is asked to pay $5,000 s
-and generally objects, even though a
he should know that his life is worth
as much proportioitely as that of his p
poorer fellow.-Chicago Tribune. 11
