A Touch of Haan Nature Amid thi Hors of War. Out of the mst of the bloody hor rors of the bale of Fredericksburg comes a sweetud touching incident which goes to -ore that the rage of battle cannot olterate the tenderness dwelling In thibearts of men. The story Is takenfrom Major Robert Sties* "Four Ycrs Under msan Rob srt-" The Fedel army was entering the town. shot -as flying In all direc tions, and Bue, a Confederate sol dier, was peerig round the corner of a house. A little thrvear-old. fair haired' baby girl toddle out of the alley. ac companied by Newfoundland dog. and in the mid- of the hissing shells chased a canno, ball down the street. Buck groundedhis gin dashed out into the storm and swung his great right arm ron, the baby. Then he ran after his cepany. the little one elasped to his beast. The company ook refuge behind the stone wall whie has now become his tore, and therefor hours and days of terror the IaIr was kept. Fierce nurses took tur.s in petting her while the storm of bittle raged and shriet ed. Never was a baby so cared for. and scouts scoured the countryside to get her milk. When thie striggle was- over and the Federal army zad left the company behind the wal received the post of honor in the an to lead the column Into the town. Buck stood about In the middle of the regiment, the baby in his arms. There was a long halt, and the bdigade istaff hurried to adfo The re~imenta colors were not to be found. Suddenly Bu~k sprung to the front. He 'swung alo't the baby girl. her lit tie garments lutterig like the folds *f a banner. :and shouted: "Forward. nen of the Twenty-first! Here are our 'elors!" Off started the brigade, cheering - SHIRKING JAL WORK. Sidwell, the Forger. Was a Champion at Malingerinag. Mlngering is common in jail, but surely a case quoted from his own ex peience by Dr. Quinton. the late gov ernor of Holloway, in "Crime and Criminals" is a record. The "hero" was a violent prisoner who feigned stiffness of the Index finger to avoid cakum picking. He was so angry when the linger was forcibly bent that **on returnin~g to his cell he promptly placed the offending finger in the hinges of his table, which was attached to the cell wall, and violently raised the leaf, with the result that the finger was absolutely shattered end had to be removed." Another case even more remarkable in Its way was that of the notorious American criminal Bidwell, who was sentenced to penal servitude for life In connection with the Bank of Eng land forgeries. "He was In good health .n convic tion. but never did any active work. Feigning loss of power In his legs. he lay in bed from day to dzy anid from year to year, defying all efforts of persuasion and resisting all unpleasant) coercive measures devised to make him work. When I saw him at D~artmoor at the end of eight or nine years of his sen tence long disuse of his legs had ren dered him almost a cripple. The mnus cdes were extremely wasted, and both hip and knee joints were contracted in a state of semiflexion. so that he lay doubled up in a bundle. Though he was examined time after time by, experts, no one succeeded in discover ing any organic disease or any carseI for his condition other than his own firmly expressed determninatio'n never to do a day's work for the British government, a threat which.

Though their lake.; and ponds are few and their rivers comparatively destitute of tish. the French people are extremely fond of :tu!Ing. Indeed. nervous and excitable as the averag-e Frenchman may be. he Is content to sit by a steam with a pole and wait all day for a bite. In a certain coumk-y town not far from Paris there existed a fishing club named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi gnon. A pretty stream goes through Marpignon. but for many years not one &sh had been seen in this stream. from which circumstance. It followed. the Intrepid Fishers had little to do. says Harper's Weekly. The excitement may be imagined. therefore. when the word ran through Marpignon that a lere barbel-a tough :nd gamy fish rad bewen seen In the streamu. The intrepid Fishers: turned ou: ::t:d. having ascertained that there wv indeed a barbel in the stream. immediately stopped the wa ter some li;tte dist:nee above and be low him vwith ratings so that he could not get :w:y. Then tbey ra::ged theinse!'es joy fully along: tlhe s::-e~tm with hook and line, and :ll wentz to tizhinxg for the one fish. By and by one Intrepid Fisher caught him an I Immediately threw him back Into the water. In the course of time another caucht him and did the same. For three days one veracious ac count has It the Intrepid Fishers kept at work catching this one barbel, and at the end of that time the fish died of exhaustion and loss of blood. Then I the Intrepid Fishers counted up the 4 notches that they had made on their fish poles, and the man who had caught the barbel the most times was declared the champion fisherman of Marpignon and received great honors. Fishakin Tartars. The skin of the fish does not suggest Itself as a suitable material for the making of clothes. yet it Is used for this purpose by a tribe of Tartars in Manchuria. They Inhabit the banks I of the Peony river and live by fishing and hunting. During the past 100 years they have become nearly extinct owing to the invasion of their domnlin by agricultural Chinese. They are 4 known as FishskLIn Tartars. The fish they use Is the tamara, a species of 4 salmon. Both the lesh and the skin of the fsh are supposed to possess wonderful heat giving properties.-Chi cago Journal. CrueL Two elderly belles were talking at the ball.

"In the twenty years that I w: downtown." the man said in telling h experience. "I was in the habit. weat er permitting, of taking a walk aft< the luncheon hour every day in son street between City Hall and the Ba tery. I hav footed every bit of u: built ground in that territory. Whi marvelous changes have come in tho: twenty years: How many signs < buildings have changed in that t!m How many houses have been pull< down: How many new ones have goi up, some of them towering skywar to take the places of the landmarks? "I got to know the lower end < town so well I couh shut my eyes at make a mental picture of many of t blocks and see the names on the bull< ings.

"A great city never stands still. is as restless as the great deep.

In tI years that have drifted away gre bridges have been constructed b tween Manhattan and Long Islan It does not seem long since I used 1 hear the restless puff of the coal A locomotives of the elevated syster yet so gradually did the old order pa that I do not distinctly recall wh the present system was Installed.
