RAIN OF BULLETS.
A Terrible Scene at the Battle 3
of Spottsylvania,
The Pierce Straggle at the "Bloody ?
Angle."

Writer in the Century, describing tho n
.3ght at tho "bloody angle" at the bat- *
tie of Spottsylvania. Tho boxc3 were
dropped close behind tho troops en- ^
gaged, where they were quickly opened E
by the officers or file-closers, who served
tho ammunition to the men. The c
writer fired 400 rounds of ammunition, c
^ and many others as many or more. In J
this manner a continuous and rapid fire c
maintained, to which tho enemy

confederates began to use j
^K^^^^^Hwiscretion, exposing themselves \
SB using the loop-holes in their
fire through, and at times

I&hc muzzles of their ritles on uio i
K1, seizing the trigger and
ah the stock, and elevating
H with one hand sufficiently to
Kh. During the day one of our
ies took position behind us, sendell
after shell close over our heads
]ode inside the Confederate works.
In like manner Coehorn mortars 800
yards in our rear sent their shells with
admirable precision gracefully curving
over us. Sometimes the enemy's fire
would slacken, and the moments would
become so monotonous that something
had to be dono to stir them up. Then
some resolute fellow would seize a fencerail
or piece of abatis, and, creeping
close to tho breastwork, thrust it over I
among the enemy, and then drop on the
ground to avoid the volley that was sure
to follow. A daring lieutenant in one
rmr left companies leaped upon the
breastworks, took a rifle that was handed
to him, and discharged it among the foe.
In like manner he discharged another,
and was in the act of firing a third shot
when his cap flew up in the air and his
body pitched h[f"dlft'yT among the enemy.
ncartenCa L'onTeaeratcs raised pieces of
shelter tents above the works as a flag of
truce; upon our slacking fire and calling
to thorn to come in they would immediately
jump the breastworks and surrender.
One party of 20 or 30 thus sig-aificd
their willingness to submit, but
owing to the fact that their comrades
occasionally took advantage of the cessation
to get a volley into us, it was some
time before we concluded to givo them
a chance. With levelled pieces we called
to them to come in. Springing upon
the breastworks in a body they stood for
While we with our fingers pressing the
triggers shouted to them to jump, their
troops massed in the rear poured a volley
into them, killing or wounding all but a
few who dropped with the rest and
crawled in under our pieces, while we
instantly began firing.
The battle, which during the morning
roged with more or less violence on
the tight and left of this position, gradually
slackened, and attention was concentrated
upon the angle. So continuous
and heavy was our fire that the head
logs of the breastwork were cut and
torn until thev resembled hickorv

Strategic Rat Killing.
<4To attempt to catch rats by traps or
by poisoning them suddenlv will fail."
? * 1
said an old ratcatcher recently to a reporter
for the Mail and Express. "Old
rats know too much, and can be caught
only by kindness. To destroy them,
give them a good meal every day. Do
not put any poison in tho food, but
simply prepare a dish for them daily, as
a free lunch, composed of corn meal,
moistened with milk, into which one
egg with a little salt to season has been
beaten. At first they may not touch it,
^)vnt keep it before them, making it fresht
everyday. They willsoontrya little,
aud if not injurious their suspicions will
be a'layed. In a week or ten davs tliev
v v
will expect it and every rat on the place
will be at tho appointed spot, for the 1
treat. Give plenty of it so as to induce l
all the rats in the neighborhood to join
id. Do not be in a hurry to poison them. 1
If they eat all the food give them a <
larger portion next time. As soon as i
they have thrown off all suspicion get <
some phosphorus paste or other rat [
poison, mix it with the food and bo
sure to give them enough and something
to spare so as to induce all to eat. They
will either be killed or become so sus- *
picious of all food that not a rat will re- 11

Petrified Clams. ii
.fetnlJca clams liavc been found in the v
South Catalina mountains, in Arizona, a
at a height of nearly 10,000 feet above g
the level of the sea. Prof. Proctor ad- Si
vances the theory that after climbing n
to such a height the clams became pet- ^
rifled with astonishment at finding v
themselves no far from their native ole- c<
mcnt. Those who have tried to eat _
these clams say they are almost as indi- ti
gestible as the Coney Island variety,
when roasted.?[Norristown Herald.

a moment, when somebody at the table
called out, "wcro they both killed?" a
"No," was the quick response, "whon V?
Mr. Blackburn got through it was too S l

Treatment for Bloat In Cattle. _
mt
Bloating is caused by improper feed- je(
g, and consequent indigestion; the ^
od ferments in the stomach, and proiccs
a large quantity of gas, which ^
uses such a distention as to interfere ^
ith the lungs and prevent breathing by
io pressuro. Tho animal then dies of ^
iffocation. There arp several ways of
licving the animal. A piece of wood
lout one and one-half inches in diain- ^
;er may be put across the mouth in tho sc
mnner of a bit, and tied to the horns; 1,1
lis helps the animal to diBchargo the
$ umulated gas. If this is not effective
. is best to open the stomach and let b
ut the gas. A sharp pointed small a
lade is pushed into the stomach 1

The great ben?.^/derived by ants
from plant-lise have long been known. ,
Many species of ants obtain a considerable
proportion of their subsistence from
nphids and allied insects, honey-dew t
constituting the chief part of their food.

Tho slight amount of protection
afforded by the ants in occasionally
driving insectivorous insects away from '
colonics of aphids can hardly be sufficient 1
to account for the development of the
apparatus for excreting honey-dew. The
fact, now well known, that certain ants
collect and prcservo in their nests tho
Eggs of aphids during the winter, indicates
that there are more important relations
between-the two groups of insects
than appear at first sight. And this is (
confirmed by the recent discovery by
Professor Forbes that tho corn plant 1
ouse is strictly dependent on an ant. <

Furrier's colic is becoming a fatal dis^
ease, if what a local furrier tplls'Tiie
amounts to anything. It is contracted
by vyorking on fine furs and in mhaling
the small particles which rise from them.
These particles accumulate in the lungs
and stomach, and when once they are inhaled
it is impossible to rid oneself of
them. They arc liable to cause consumption
or cancer of the stomach. Said
my friend, the furrier: " It is impossible
for one to work on furs over six months

ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,

adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pierce's Favotlt? Prescription
Is the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it In the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
hud batnod their skill, provo it to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. It
Is not recommended as a " cure-all," but
as a most perfect Specific for woman's
peculiar ailments.
As a powerful. Invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to tne whole system,
and to the uterus, or womb and its appendages,
in particular. For overworked,
''worn-out," ''run-down." debilitated teachers,
milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses,
" shop-girls," housekeepers, nursing mothers,
and feeble women generally, Dr.
