Tiro Kinds of Courage
General Horace Porter contributes an
article to the June Century on "The
Philosophy of Courage", from which we
quote as follows:
"Indifference to danger is not always
the form of courage which 3hould "entitle
its possessor to the highest credit. It is
a negative virtue as compared with the
quality which enables one to perform a
dangerous duty while realizing the full
measure of the peril encountered.
"These two traits are best illustrated
by' the old story of the two soldiers whose
regiment was charging np a hill in a
desperate attempt to capture a battery.
When half-way up, one of them turned
to the other and said, "Why, you're as
pale as a sheet; yon look like a ghost ;
I believe you're afraid'. 4Yes, I am,' was
the answer ; 'and if you were half as
much afraid as I am you'd have run long
ago.* It is something higher than phys?
ical courage, it is a species of moral
courage, which recognizes the danger
and yet overmasters the sense of fear.
?When the famous mine in front of
Petersburg had been completed, and the
National troops drawn np ready to charge
the enemy's works as soon as the mine
had done its work in creating abroach,
the signal was given just before daylight,
the fuse was lighted, and the command
stood waiting with intense anxiety for
the explosion which was to follow. But
seconds, then minutes, then tens of min?
utes passed, ? and still no sound
from the mine. The suspense became
painful, and the gloom of disappointment
overspread the anxious faces of officers
and men. The fuse had been spliced
about midway. It was now thought that
there was a defect in the splice, and that
it was at this point that the fuse was
hanging fire. The day was breaking, the
enemy was becoming alert at sight of
our unmasked columns, there was not a
moment to be lost. Lieutenant Doughly
and Sergeant Beeae* of the 48th. Pennsyl?
vania infantry, now volunteered to ex?
amine the fuse. They*entered the long
dark gallery which led to the mine, and
without stopping to calculate the chances
of life, calmly exposed themselves to one
of the most horrible forma of death.
With no excitement to lend them Its
intoxication, with nothing to divert their
minds from the fate which seemed to
await them, they followed the course of
the fuse through the long subterranean
passage, found the defect at which the
spark had foen arrested, and made a new
splice. On their return the match was
again applied, and the train was now
prompt to do its deadly work. These
men displayed even a higher order of
courage than those who afterwards charg?
ed into the breach."
How to Guess the Speed of Trails,
There is not one person, in one hundred
of the millions who travel on railroads in
the course of a year who has any idea of
the speed of a train. A large per cent of
even the regular trainmen of the country
cannot tell with any degree of accuracy
how fast a train is running. Frequently
engineers are dispatched on a trip over, a
line of railroad with instructions to- run
at a speed of a certain number of miles
an hour. The engineers do not carry a
speed indicator, but have* learned by
various methods to ; gauge their engines
so as to make only the slightest variation
from their orders.
. The majority of engineers use their
, driving wheel as a gauge. They know
its circumference, and by counting its
revolutions within a certain time can tell
very accurately the speed at which they
are running. Another method is to time
the run between mile posts, and still
another is to make calculations from the
number of telegraph poles passed in a
certain time. These poles, in a level
country and where fonr or five wires are
used, are spaced so that they are thirty to
the mile. If only a single wire is used
they are spaced from twenty-five to
to twenty-eight to the mile.
The most accurate method, and the
one most in use by experienced railroad
men, is to count the nnmber'of rail joints
the train passes over in twenty seconds.
The rails in nearly all cases are thirty
feet in length, and the number passed
over in twenty seconds is the speed per
hour a train is running. . For instance if
a passenger Bitting in a sleeping car can
count thirty clicks of the wheels on a
rail joint in twenty seconds the train is
Tunning at the speed of thirty miles an
hour.?Kansas City Times.
Ton Never Said So Before.
A a old Virginia minister said lately:
"Man of my profession see much of the
tragic side of life. I have seen men die
in battle, have seen children die, bntuo
death ever seemed so pathetic to me as
the death of an aged mother in my
church. I knew her first as a young
girl?beautiful and gay, full of joy and
hope. She' married and had four chil?
dren. Her husband died and left her
penniless. She sewed, she made draw?
ings, she taught, she gave herself scarcely
time to eat'or sleep. Every thought was
-for her children; to educate them, to
give them the advantage their father
would have given them had be lived.
She succeeded. She sent her boys to
college, and her girls to school. When
they all came home they gave themselves
up to their own selfish pursuits. She
lingered among them some three years,
and then was stricken with mortal illness
brought on by overwork. The children
gathered around her bedside. The old?
est son took her in his arms. He said:
"Yon have been a good mother to us."
That was not very much to say, was it?
It was much to her, who had never heard
anything like it. A flush came sweep?
ing over her palid face, and with a husky
voice Bhe whispered, "My son, you never
said so before!"
? Senator Tabor, of Colorado, cannot
remain obscure. He is now making him?
self famous by using as a paper weight a
twelve-thousand dollars bar of gold.
This is altogether too costly a paper weight
for a man whose night shirts cost only
$8,000 a dozen.

How Poor Pass Was Rescued.
One beautiful summer evening, the
avenues of a large city were thronged
with people on their way to different
churches. At a certain corner, however,
several persons were standing, gazing
apparently into the air. Others soon
joined them, until so large a crowd was
gathered that the way was completely
blocked.
Soon the windows along the street
were thronged with people, and a number
of persons were seen on the tops of the
houses in the neighborhood.
And what do you think they saw?
Clinging for dear life to a jutting ornament
near the top of a tall church-steeple that
pointed straight up into the soft evening
air, was a black cat. "How did it get
there ?" was the first question every one
asked, "How will it get down?" was
the next. The poor creature was looking
down, and at frequent intervals it uttered
a pitiful cry, as if calling to the crowd
below for help. Once, it slipped and fell
a short distance down tbe sloping side of
the steeple, and an exclamation of pity
came from the crowd, now intensely
interested in its fate. Luckily the cat's
paws caught on another projection, and
for the moment it was safe.
Some lookers on suggested that it be
shot in order to save it from the more
dreadful death that seemed to await it,
but no one was willing to fire the shot.
Ere long a little window some distance
above the place where the cat was cling?
ing was. seen to open. Two boys had
determined to save it; they had mounted
the stairs to where the bell hung, and
then by a ladder had reached the window.
They had taken a board with them, and
they now pushed one end of It ont of the
window and lowered it till it was within
reach of the cat. Then by encouraging
words and signs they tried to persuade
the creature to step on the plank. Puss
seemed to understand, and put out one
paw, but drew it back immediately; and
at that instant one of the boys accidental?
ly let go his hold; the board turned over,
and the cat would certainly have been
dashed to the ground had it trusted to
that means of escape. Tbe boys with?
drew the board, but soon reappearing at
the window Were seen lowering a basket
down the side of the steeple. Pussy,'
having now ceased to cry, watched it
intently as it came nearer and nearer.
When within reach, the cat carefully put
out one paw and took hold of the side of
the basket, then as carefully repeated the
action with the other paw, then drew
itself up, and with a violent effort flung
itself over the side and into the bottom of
the-basket. The next moment it was
safely drawn up to the window, amid
loud cheers from the spectators below.
"dub Fist"
"Club Fist" was a very enchanting
game, lach player caught another by
the thumb, making a column of fists.
One player acted as spokesman, and
asked:
"What you got there?"
"Club Fist."
"Take it oft and knock it off"
When all the fists were knocked off
except the last one, the questions and
answers were:
"What you got there?"
"Bread and butter."
"Where's my share ?"
"Cat's got it."
"Where's the cat?"
"Dog killed it."
"Where's the dog?"
"Stick beat him." '
"Where's the stick?"
"Fire burned it."
"Where's the fire ?" ,
"Water quenched it."
"Where's the water ?"
"Ox drank it." ?
"Where the ox ?"
"Butcher killed it."
"Where's the butcher?"
"Bope hung him."
"Where's the rope?"
"Bat knawed it."
"Where's the rat?"
"Cat caught it."
"Where's the cat?"
"Behind the church door, and the first
one who laughs or talks will be pinched
three times."
Then follows whispering on the sly
and suppressed laughter, until nearly
everybody has been pinched a time or
two.
He Came Ont.
A woman on Lafayette street, East,
rushed out tbe other day and informed a
policeman that she had seen a big dog
crawl under her barn, and she believed
the animal mad. The officer went
around by way of the alley, accompanied
by the usual crowd, and|after peeking and
peering for sometimes he shot three
bullets'' under the barn to scare the dog
out. After the third shot a movement
was heard, and presently the long end of
a colored man crawled into view. After
backing ont and brushing the dirt out of
his eyes, he added:
"Was it me you was shooting at?"
? 'I supposed it was a dog under there,"
replied the officer.
"Well, sah, doan' you nebber 'spose no
mo'! It's dangerous."
And he showed a bullet hole in his cap
and another iu his coat as proofs of the
accuracy of the officer's aim. He had
crawled under after a rabbit which had
escaped from a neighbor.
"It's all right," he said, as the officer
apologized, "but doan' you 'spose no mo' I

Handling Wasps without Harm.
It is a fact not generally known that if
one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with impunity.
The skin becomes sting proof, and, hold?
ing the insect by the feet and giving her
full liberty of action, you can see her
drive her weapons against the impene?
trable surface with a force that lifts her
body with every Btroke, but let a small
quantity of air escape from the lungs and
the stieg will penetrate at once. I have
never Been an exception to this in twenty*
fivo years observation. I have taught
young ladies with very delicate bands to
astonish their friends by the performance
of this feat, and I saw one so severely stung
as to require the services of a physician
through laughing at a witty remark of
her sister, forgetting that laughing re?
quired breath. For a theory in explana?
tion I am led to believe that holding the
breath partially closes the pores of the
skin. My experience in that direction
have not been exact enough to be of any
scientific value, but I am satisfied that
it very sensible affects the amount of
insensible perspiration.-- W. h. Wilder

Artillery Prelude at Gettysburg.
From the exertions and the anxieties
of two days of strife the armies had fallen
into lethargy, a silence that told of
nerves and muscles worn out. The morn?
ing of-the third slipped away. A spirit
of battle at Gulp's Hill drove off the
enemy there, and men at a distance
turned over to hear the news and drowsed
again. While some slept, others cooked
and ate, then the sleeping and the wak?
ing, the hungry and the filled, exchanged
places. From the description of Samuel
Wilkeson, who was at Meade's head?
quarters, and whose son Bayard was now
lying still in death and just beyond the
lines, this faithful record of the hour has
been preserved. "A silence as of deep
sleep had fallen upon tbe field of battle.
Our army cooked and ate and slumbered.
In the shadow of the tiny farm house
where Gen. Meade had made his head?
quarters, lay wearied staff officers.
There was not wanting to the peaceful
ness of the scene the singing of a bird,
which had a nest in the peach tree within
the tiny yard of the white washed cottage.
In the midst of its warbling a shell
screamed over the house, instantly fol?
lowed by another; and in a moment the
air was full of the most complete aitillery
prelude to an infantry battle that was
ever exhibited. It made a. very hell of
fire that amazed the oldest officers. The
ahell burst in the yard?burst next the
fences garnished on both sides with tbe
hitched horses of aides and orderlies.
The fastened animals reared and plunged
with terror. One fell, then another, until
Bixteen lay dead and mangled, still
fastened by their halters, and having the
expression of being wickedly tied np to
die in torture. These brute victims of
cruel war touched all hearts. The
expressions often found in battle accounts
of "heaps of slain" and "rows of dead"
are food for ridicule in this skeptical
age, but a few figures showing the con?
dition of things at Gettysburg will prove
that in this case, at least these terms are
not mere extravagances of speech. The
killed outright and mortally wounded
were itt round numbers, 8,000. Of the
25,000 wonnded and otherwise disabled,
probably 12,000 more, at tbe outset, were
prostrated, and the total number to be
accounted fallen is 20,000, an army that,
if placed in four ranks as soldiers ordina?
rily march, would reach nearly four
miles, or a distance equal to the whole
front from Cemetery Hill to the Bound
Tops. Of course these prostrate men did
not all lie in unbroken lines, nor were
they to be seen all at one time. But the
heaviest loses were on open ground,
where the fire had a clear sweep, and
although there is much scattering of the
ranks when those not killed outright are
struck, the losses were so severe at the
vital points on the several fields fought
over that language could not paint the
scene with milder words than "carnage"
and "blood-stained sod strewn with the
dead and the dying, all mingled in
ghastly ?ea?s and rows."
The Cucumber In the Bottle.
When Rodney was at his uncle's he
saw something very queer. It was a
cucumber in a bottle. It was Bitting on
a table in the porch when Rodney first
saw it. He Bat down and looked at it
very hard. Then he thought for at least
ten minutes.
Bodney could not tell how the cucum?
ber got into the bottle. It was a large
bottle, bnt it had a very small mouth.
The cucumber was very large. If the
mouth of the bottle had been four times
as big as it was it could not have been
put through it. There was not even a
crack in the bottle; so it had not been
broken and put together after tbe cucum?
ber was in.
While Bodney was trying to think
how the cucumber could have got into
the bottle his uncle came np the steps.
He laughed when he saw what Bodney
was looking at. "Can you make it out ?"
he asked.
"No," said Bodney ; "please tell me."
"Suppose I show you. -1 will take
another bottle and we will put a cucum?
ber in it. You can.have it to take home
with you," said his uncle.
Bodney thought that would be very
nice, His uncle brought a bottle just
like tbe one the cucumber was in. There
was a basketful of cucumbers on the
porch. Bodney expected his uncle
would take one of these and put it in the
bottle. He did not know how his uncle
would manage to get it in. That was
what he was anxious to see.
Instead of taking a cucumber out of
the basket his uncle led the way to tbe
garden. He looked over the vines and
found a tiny cucumber near the end of
tbe vine. He cut off the end of the vine
beyond the little cucumber, and tben
pushed it through the neck of tbe bottle.
Then be laid the bottle down on tbe
ground, but did not cut the cucumber off
the main vine.
"Is ibat all ?" said Bodney. "Why,
it's not a bit like the other."
"Wait a few days and then see how it
will be," said his uncle.
"Ohl" cried Rodney/"! know. It
grows inside the bottle."
"That's just it," replied his uncle.
Every day Bodney went out to see how
bis cucumber was getting on in its glass
house. It seemed to like its new quar?
ters very much. By the time Bodney
was ready to go home it was larger than
the first one.
How much fun he had with that cu?
cumber! He showed it to everybody.
Very few could tell bow it got into the
bottle ,* theo, when they could not guess,
Bodney would tell them.?Our Little

Made for the Woods.
In his "Random Recollections," Henry
B. Stan ton tells the following laughable
story of Jeremiah Mason, the great law?
yer:
After he had become distinguished in
New Hampshire, he went into a rural
county to try a civil suit. A pompous lit
tie judge was on the bench. He assigned
Mason to defend a negro on an indict?
ment; for petty larceny. With surprise,
tinged with indignation, Mason declined
the task. "Sir, you must obey the order
of the Court," said the little Judge. "All
you need to do is take your client into
the best adjoining room, and give him the
best advice you can." This struck Mason
in a funny light, and he arose, beckoned
to the negro, and stalked into an empty
room with his "client" at his heels.
?'Are you guilty ?" asked Mason. "Yes
sir," responded the negro. "Can they
prove it ?" "Yes, sir; all the witnesses are
here." Mason put his head out of the
?open window, and said: "It is about 15
feet to the ground. Do you see those
woods ?" The negro leaped, and Mason
returned into the court. By and by the
case was called, but the negro did not
respond; "Where is your client ?" asked
the little Judge. "I do not know," re*
plied Mason. "Your honor directed me
to give him the best advice I could, and
the last I saw of him he was running for
those woods over there." Everybody
laughed except the little Judge, and the
curtain fell on the scene.
Gigglcrs in Church.
Giggling is described in the dictionary
as the act of "laughing with short catches
of breath," as "langhing idly, tittering,
grinning:" It is silly and childish
enough anywhere, but in church it is
abominable, and yet there is no place
where giggling is more common. It is
natural in school girls, but when met
with in young women of nineteen and
twenty it is unpardonable. It is fre?
quently a characteristic of young men
with incipient mustaches, who think they
qualify themselves for manhood by affect?
ing contempt for what their elders
reverence. They giggle. If they catch
the eye of an acquaintance they giggle;
if an old woman rises too soon for a hymn
they giggle; if a baby cries they giggle;
if the clergyman cough they giggle; ii
the plate is handed to bo me one who puts
nothing in they giggle; if some one
near them sings out or repeats the
responses loudly they giggle; if the
choir makes a mistake they giggle. In
fact, nothing is too insignificant to arrest
their notice and produce a giggle.

Want of Sleep
Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum ; and the doctors Bay thla
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alterative and Blood-purifier.
Averts Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. It corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless?
ness, gives increased vitality, and re?
stores the nervous system to a healthful
condition.*
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some im?
purity of the blood manifest; but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to
health."
William P. Bowker, Erie, Pa., was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

We are also agents for Brennon & Co's. Great Western Cane Mill, which we
claim, in several ways, to be superior to any other. It is reversible, which will be
much easier on stock, and the Mill will wear longer. The bearings are all of brass,
the cog wheels are made separate from the roller, and in case a cog breaks, it will
be only necessary to replace the cog wheel. The Mill can be adjusted for steam
power at a small cost.
