I p The Diffference of an Inch.?At Ip I V one of the reunions of the Army of the ' Cumberland several former officers of ^ the Union army fell to discussing the wounds they had received during the civil war.

"Oh, no. I didn't," answered the colonel quickly. "I was shot at Antietam. A bullet went through my nose, taking ^ the gristle out." He wriggled his nose from side to side to prove the truth of ^ his statement. "Ah, well, you were quite fortunate, after all," said Major M., consolingly. "If the bullet had struck half an inch further in, your soul would have been launched into eternity." "Yes," said the colonel, "and if the blamed thing had gone a half inch further out it wouldn't have hit me at all." ?Lippincott's. r v " r Convenient Horses.?Peter Mc- t Queen, the well-known Boston lectur- t er, who was with President Roosevelt t at Santiago and with Lawton in his a last campaign, has a fund of interest- i ing stories about army life and is an s enthusiastic admirer of the regular | army private, whose sense of humor, he v declares, is unfailing.

" Why His Clock Was Slow.?There is an Italian fruit dealer, with a well stocked store near one of the suburban railway stations, who has adopted a unique device, and one which shows a deep knowledge of human nature, to hold his own in competition with another dealer, whose stand is some fifty yards nearer the station than his own. A commuter was leisurely peeling a banana in his store the other day when the Italian remarked: "You gotta fi' minute before your train." "No: twenty," replied the commuter, glancing at a big clock on the wall. "Thata clock fifteen minute slow," said the Italian. "I keepa it slow.

Rock Hill Herald, February 1: Mr. fos. A. Smith has returned to York;ille, after a few days' stay at the home )f his son-in-law, Mr. J. J. Thomas tfr. W. B. Huckabee has entrusted to rhe Herald a powder horn which was >wned and used by William Hudson, me of his ancestors, who came from Scotland two centures and a half ago. The horn is beautifully carved and aristically graven and bears date June, 671. It will be sent to the Charleston xposition. Besides this The Herald las several Revolutionary relics that vere sent to this office. They will be orwarded to the Woman's building When Captain W. L. Roddey was comng down the front steps at his home Wednesday morning, the steps being overed with ice, he slipped and fell, lislocating his left shoulder. Physiians were summoned in haste and they ucceeded in placing the bone back to ts place, and he was in consequence releved of a great deal of pain. The next lay, however, the bone again jumped ut of the socket and he again suffered nuch pain. When he was again relievd the shoulder was heavily bandaged o as to hold it in place. Captain Rodley has suffered a great deal since and k-as in much pain yesterday, being reieved only with opiates. It has been scertained that the shoulder bone is ractured. The injured shoulder is the ne in which Captain Roddey was mounded at the battle of Chickamau;a in 1864. and from which he has ever ince been a sufferer. CHEROKEE.

Sir Hiram Maxim contributes the folowing article to a London daily paper: "Whether Santos-Dumont succeeds in naking a practical dirigible balloon, vhich can be successfully navigated or lot, he certainly has done much to start he ball rolling, and to again call atention to the subject of aerial navigaion. The would-be navigators of the dr are, and always have been, divided nto two distinct groups?those who eek to navigate the air by machines Ighter than the air, balloons: and those vho believe in machines heavier than he air: that is, true flying machines. "A balloon of the ordinary type, vhich merely rises in the air and trav>s with the wind, is an exceedingly simile apparatus, but an elongated baloon, provided with motive power, alhough it cannot be considered as a omplicated machine, is nevertheless a ery delicate and fragile apparatus: >ut as the apparatus is lienter than the lir in which it floats, it does not have o be provided with any outside lifting ipparatus, which is a necessary part >i me irue nying macnme. "When a balloon is once in the air, he aeronaut has plenty of time to experiment with his motors and screws. 3e can stop or start, go fast or slow, ind steer to the right or left at will, vithout any danger of a sudden drop to he earth; but with a true flying ma hine the lifting effect must be produced by wings, blades or aeroplanes, vhich run over the air at a very high speed, and raise themselves and the nachine by pressing the air downward ifter the manner of a kite. With such in apparatus a high speed of the planes >r blades is a sine quo non, otherwise io lifting effect is produced, and as the ipparatus is very much heavier than he air its natural tendency is always oward the earth, and any hitch or stoppage in the machinery must result n a fall more or less rapid in proporion to the size of the blades or aeroplanes. Moreover, a true flying ma hine has to be steered in a vertical as veil as in a horizontal direction. "It will, therefore, lie seen that the lifficulty in producing a true Hying ma hine is infinitely greater than that en ountered in producing a dirigible baloon. Still, I am of the opinion that the iirigible balloon of the Santos-Dumont :ype will lead to the development of a true flying machine in which the gas < bag will be eliminated. .< "Experiments have shown that there are a great number of days in the year ] on which the wind is blowing upward i of 20 miles an hour at only a short dis- i tance above the surface of the earth, i and unless an apparatus is made which 1 will travel at a velocity considerably i greater than this, it would, of course, i be impossible to make any headway j against such a wind. j iHmlfHn? that a mnehlne would < have to travel through the air at a rate of 30 miles an hour in order not to be at the mercy of the wind, we should find that at such a speed one thousand pounds of aeroplane would lift quite as much as one thousand* pounds of material In a balloon, and, moreover, the aeroplane would require vastly less power to drive them through the air than the balloon, even admitting that a balloon could be made strong enough to stand a wind velocity of 30 miles an hour, which is extremely doubtful. "In nearly all the experiments with elongated navigable dirigible balloonp. electricity has been employed as the motive power, and on account of its great weight the power at the disposal of the aeronaut has been extremely small. With the advent, however, of the very light petroleum and gasoline motors for motor carriages which have now reached a very high degree of development, it is possible to obtain light motors developing a great deal of power?that is, we are now able to produce motors which will give off the power of a horse while having only the weight of a large barnyard fowl. "A goose, which is much heavier than a fowl, manages to fly very well with an expenditure of about one-tenth part of a horse-power. "Up to a few years ago steel was the strongest material for its weight which could be obtained, but recent experi litems Willi aiuuuiiuiii nave aiiuwii iiini this light metal can be made quite as strong as wrought iron by the addition of another light metal?magnesium; that the compound is lighter than pure aluminum, and that it has the tensile strength and stiffness of wrought iron. Thus the engineer is put in possession of a very light and povaerful motor. . and a light and strong material quite unobtainable only a few years ago. "With these improvements it now becomes relatively an easy matter to construct a true flying machine, and I feel < sure that such machines will make their appearance and become a part of the military armament of the nation Inside of the next ten years. Experiments with flying machines are enormously expensive: in fact,* the expense is too great to be borne by a single individual of moderate means. think we can truly say with Lord Rayleigh that flying machines are only a question of a lot of time and a lot of money, and at the present moment I am saving up my pennies in order to enable me to have another bite'at the same old cherry." THE HUMAN BODY. The Moat Wonderful Piece of Meekanlam Conceivable. In the absolutely healthy man or woman the great organs of the body do their work imperceptibly; in other words, a healthy human being ought not to know that it has a heart, lungs, stomach, liver, or anything of that sort; and yet their working depends on some of the merest trifles?if such a word can be used in connection with nature s noi Kings?anu me aDsence 01 < any one of them would mean the stoppage of the whole vital machinery. For instance, to begin at the top: When you swing your head from side to side, or bend it backward or forward, you have only a little cord of ligament between you and death. The head is balanced on a double joint, a pivot on which it turns from side to side, and a sort of swing-joint, not exactly a hinge, on which it swings backward and forward. It is this check-ligament, as it is q^lled, which prevents it from going too far either way. The reason is this: Immediately in front of the peg of the pivot-joint is the channel of the spine through which the spinal cord passes to the brain, and if it were not for this vital check-string the head, which is bulk for bulk, the heaviest part of the body, would fall too far backward or forward and crush the spinal cord. Here is another vital trifle which, perhaps, you have never considered. Bare your arms and press your finger hard on the upper part of one of the veins and pass It slowly down. You will see the vein swell up into little knots; take your finger away and they will vanish. The reason for this is that nearly all the veins have little cups in them. The cups open toward the heart, and thus, when the blood is flowing in the right direction they fold back and offer no resistance. But they prevent any fluid flowing in the oppofiUo rlironHrm During waking life many of the lonp viens are more or less perpendicular, and but for these cups, or valves, the blood would naturally tend to flow down the vein. This would partially, if not entirely, arrest the circulation; the heart would be unable to pump the poisoned blood into the lunps, to be renewed by contact with the air, and suffocation would follow In a few minutes. Wherefore, without these insignificant little cups, none of which hold a quarter of a thimbleful, no human could live. The blood Is composed of a pray fluid in which myriads of tiny little bodies, some white and some red, are floatlnp. they are about a 3,200th part of an inch in diameter. They are inclosed in an envelope which has the peculiar property of permittinp pases, but not liquids, to pass throuph it. It is this which enables them to take up the oxypen of the air as it poes into the lunps and to convey it to all parts of the body. Oxypen is, of course, as necessary to the body as air is to a fire. Now, if liquids could pass throuph these tiny envelopes the fluid in which they float would enter them, crowd nut the oxypen and put out the vital flame just as surely as a flood of water would put out a fire. In fact, if this property of admittinp pases and excludinp fluids were to be reversed, the human race would cease to exist inside a minute, because the time tak ;n for the blood to traverse the whole system is about half a minute. The same curious but beneficent property is possessed by the vast network of tiny tubes, one 3,500th part of in inch in diameter which lie immediitely under the skin all over the body; but their function is even stranger still, for they will allow nothing to pass through their walls save what is directly hurtful or superfluous. The remit is perspiration, which passes from them through myraids of tiny glands to the skin. At a religious festival in Prance during the Middle Ages a child was gilded over to make it represent a golden image of the Savior. It died in i few hours, poisoned by the impurities of its own blood, which were presented from getting through the skin. But perhaps the most striking feaL 1.3 111. 11- A# + Vl A ture connected wnn tne wuinms ui . fiuman body is the fact that we have :wo brains, a mechanical and a menial one, as they may be called. The former is situated low down at the sack of the head, at the top of the spllal column. The other occupies the est of the skull. This is the one we io our thinking and feeling and wiling with. But, althougn it is the nobest part of the human organism, it has 10 control over the little brain at the jack. No one knows exactly how this Utile brain does its work, but it does it lontinuously and unconsciously. Its lusiness is to look after the working >f the lungs, heart, stomach, and so ' 'orth, and it attends to business day ind night without sleeping. It will iow be easy to see that our lives deiend upon these two brains working separately. For what would happen f the little brain were oontrolled by he big one? We should have to think separately for every heartbeat, for ivery breath we drew and for every low of the gastric juice which digests >ur food in the stomacn. This would lot give us much time to attend to inything else, even during our waking ife. But there is something worse han th.^p^p could n^er go t^^eep. The moment we did we would stop ihinking about _ our hearts and lungs, .vherefore they would both stop work. -St. Louis Republic. RAREFIED AIR. fcneer Effect on Britluli Officers of the High Altitude of the Veldt. It was in one of Jules Verne's stories ihat two men set out to climb a moun:ain. As they went higher and higher IP the air grew more rarefied and provoked such irritability in both that ^ :hey fell into an angry quarrel. They challenged each other to lmmeliate duel and turned to go down the < nountain side for their weapons. But is they descended into the lower strata of air their normal condition j ,vas restored and when they got to the 'oot of the mountain they were fast 'riends again. A man who went from England to a he Boer war thinks that British gen- a srals 'and others in ?ring from the noist air of the Thames' into the rareled air of the South African veldt, i.000 or 6,000 feet above the sea and a ihousand miles away from it may lave passed through some such mental :ransformation as the mountain climb:rs. An instance of what is meant was 'urnlshed by two colonels of infantry ,vho rode out of Bloemfontein one day vith a couple of junior officers and an >rderly, to shoot buck. They rode a iozen miles north and then to and ,'ro among the kopjes but found poor iport. It was at a time when the Boers vere looking for the next British advance and patrols of the burgher comnandoes were active and watchful. | These two colonels were old hands in I he service and to some of their friends ' t seemed that nothing but llghthead?dness could explain what they did vhen the buck failed them. ' They rode on for a good stretch outdde of their own outposts. Suddenly >ne of them caught sight of a mounted moving figure, a score of them, among r :he folds of the veldt a mile away. "Come on, they're Boers. Let's round J :hem up!" shouted the elder and se- . lior colonel, and off he galloped with ] he three officers close on his heels and t :he orderly chasing behind. 1 What the men of the Boer patrol * Ihought is not recorded, but at once x :hey spread out and pushed their < lorses on as hard as they could toward ' :lie dark boulders along the base <'f { :he nearest foothills, the buck-shoot- ( jrs tearing after them. Once among 1 :he boulders the Zarps?for they prov- j ?d to be men of the Transvaal police, , lumped off, got cover and turned to \ :ake the measure of their amazing ? pursuers. J The result came soon. They shot ono j )f the junior officers dead through the c irain, shattered the arm of another, 1 ivounded one of the colonels in the , :hlgh and pierced the wrist of the oth- j ;r. besides disabling the orderly. They ?- it e? ( aid oui tneir men in me nearest taim- louse and sent a messenger to Bloem- ' Tontein for further aid. Both colonels got a severe reprimand. . But possibly a Dr. Charcot or a brain ] specialist could have understood their iberration better than a field marshal :o whom it presented only a case of c reckless breach of discipline. One of the divisional generals, whose j 'orte was not patience or balance e\en i n the most restful of air, finished his t South African opportunities in the careess rapture of a gallop very like the < -ace of the buck-hunting officers. He ivas to link his forces with those of anither general in completing a fine of 1 communications. But when the other met him he was j lashing along alone on the veldt, except for a handful of oodyguard, swalowing the "heady" air is though it ( ivas the most sparkling of champagne, j \sked where his division was he made j >. sweeping gesture to the horizon and ode on. He was hours away from his ommand. 1 Some such mental disturbance pro- e ,-oked by breathing this air may be put ? 'orward perhaps to explain the pro- e eedings of the three officers of the indulgence department who were sent >ut from the war office in London be- f ore the negotiations between the Brit- & sh and Transvaal government were woken off. They were to report what 'orce would be needed If It came to var. All three went different ways under issumed names, grew beards, wore eady-made suits and mixed with the 'armers and stockralsers as men who neant to adopt that life. They were :o watch and listen, look for signs, udge the situation and report. Their final report was that a force 'rom England of 30,000 men could conjuer the two republics in three months. 3ut much esteemed as they were by heir superiors, In London, even the atter seem to have put down somehing to the unbalancing effect of their south African surroundings, for they lent out 50,000 men and told them they lad a six months' job. How had the Boers escaped this lightiness? Perhaps by constantly {\r\rkrr in thair hrilliant air anH know ng no other they have learned just vhat can safely be done In It. There I s something In their economy of ipeech?they have probably the small!St vocabulary Of any white race?In heir entire indifference to all quesions of speculative philosophy which nay save their brains from certain isks. Then there Is the soft voice of the jearded burghers that contrast so (trangely with their blgboned figures, ind the elimination of all violent exer:ion?for even their seat on horseback s easy as a rock chair?that may mean lome re-acting lesson learned from the lir around them.
