/ JUST ESCAPED HANGING. Dr. Slutlri. Wlio I<■<! .Inhn Wl’.Uri nootir* liroUcii I.r*. MudJ wns a pliysiolan. n:al it ^ns to Ills liouse that Hooth had ridden on tin* ni^ht of his exeat crime. There his broken leg had been set. and there he had been secreted for one day. The doctor was an educated man of refined and dignitied manner. He had never quite recovered from his surprise that any one should find fault with him for setting a broken bone for a stranger. He always asserted that he did not know Booth and was not aware at the time that Booth bad committed a crime. But Mudd had been an ardent secessionist. He was accordingly sen tenced to imprisonment for life. It was a hard fate to be called upon for professional services by a wounded desi»erado and then narrowly Uiescape hanging for it The trial and sentence were a terrible blow, from which Mudd uever recovered. He bad left a devoted wife at his home in Maryland, and his mental sufferings were so severe that he seemed always on the verge of in sanity. He bad at first been put to work with a wheelbarrow; but, having never done any manual labor, be was rapidly failing under the combined physical and mental strain. For this reason 1 directed that he be transferred to the prisoners’ hospital as nuts'*. There he made himself exceedingly useful, and there be might have re mained bad not his homesickness In an evil hour overcome his judgment While a ship lay at the wharf he contrived to get aboard and secrete himself in the coal bunkers, lie was of course dis covered, and then he learned what he did not know l>efore, that no ship was allowed to sail until It was ascertained that every prisoner was in his place. He was immediately placed in solitary confinement, where he remained sever al months.—McClure's Magazine. WEBSTER AS A DRINKER. PELLETS OF SNOW. How They Fllna and Dklft la the Adirondack Revlon. On a good driftmaking day in the Adirondacks the snow comes not In the star shaped flakes that look so pretty when portrayed on a page of the dictionary, but in small pellets. These pellets are in shape like tiny white footballs usually, and they come roll ing and tumbling down wind as if they had been "kicked for fair" by the half- hack gods of the gale. And yet while they roll and tumble and hound they tiud lodging places, and as the idler gazes be sees them pile up in a wall on the crest of the road cut Higher and higher grows the pile, forming at first a vertical wall, hut before this has risen three Inches it is seen to overhang the gulch. Though round and easily rolled, these pellets in some way fit to each other as bricks would, until the overhang is per haps a fifth aj great us the elevation of the wall, and then, marvelous and 1m possible as it would seem to the unac customed observer, a lip forms on the crest of the wall, and soon It begins to droop and bang down. Wider and Ion ger It grows, farther and farther it droops, until Its shape Is precisely like the lip formed on a huge wave when It breaks on a shoal water beach. Lips that are ten feet wide and hang down three feet clear of all, though but six or eight inches thick where they Join the chin of the wall, are not uncom mon. By what magic is it that these frozen, oblong pellets that go bounding along as merrily as footballs form Into (kuch a shape as that? Of course if the wtortii continues a time usually conies when the lips break off because of their great weight And then no new lip forms to replace the lost one. The snow merely drops over Into the lee of the wall and gradually fills the cutting.— Scribner’s. The Rose. At all times the rose has enjoyed pe culiar favor as a sacred flower. Mo hammedan tradition says that when Saladin captured Jerusalem be refused to enter the shrine of the temple which had been converted into a church by tbe Crusaders till tbe walls bud be^n thoroughly cleansed and purified with rosewater. A similar story is told of tbe Cburcb of SL Sophia, at Constanti nople. when transformed from a Chris tian place of worship to a Moham medan mosque. Tiie origin of tbe rose, according to Moslem tradition, is that tbe blood of the prophet sprang Into new life in this glorious crimson flow er.

Scott of Fauquier, two of the most eminent lawyers in the state, were sent down to the hotel to escort him to the eapitol building. They found Mr. Webster In n state of Intoxication in such degree that Mr. Lyon8 said to Mr. Scott: "This man can’t make a speech. You must take his place.” Mr. Scott replied. “No man can take tbe place of Daniel Web ster.” After delay, during which Mr. Web ster Improved a little, be was asked if he would go to tbe eapitol. He replied. Yes.”V With great difficulty Messrs. Scott and Lyotfs supported and helped him to tbe eapitol. When they reached the rotunda near tbe Washington stat ue, Mr. Lyons said, “Mr. Webster, do you think you can speak?” “If you will give me a drink of brandy, yes.” A messenger was sent to a neighbor ing hotel and a bottle of brandy brought. Mr. Webster poured out suc cessively two goblets full and drank them off, straightened himself up, shook himself as a lion might have done, walked steadily and directly to tiie position from which he spoke, on the south porch of tbe eapitol, and in the presence of an audience of 5,000 people, which consisted of the intellec tuality and beauty of Richmond, male and female, made bis celebrated Octo ber speech, one of the greatest even of bis life. Edward Everett related that on the day Webster replied to Hayne of South Carolina be walked with him to the capitol; that he seemed so badly pre pared that he doubted him and feared that he was not equal to the occasion: that just before lie rose to speak he drank a goblet of brandy and then made his great speech in reply to Hayne, which is an English classic. Such was the effect of the beverage on Webster.—Beverages. THE GREAT POETS. Do Not Stinly Tbem For Knowledgei Read Thrin For Cnlture. Young men and young women actual ly go to college to take a course in Shakespeare or Chaucer or Dante or the Arthurian legends. The course be comes a mere knowledge course. My owu acquaintance with Milton was through an exercise in grammar. We parsed “Paradise Lost.” Much of the current college study of Shakespeare Is little better than parsing bim. The class falls upon the text like bens upon a hone in winter. No meaning of phrase escapes them; every line is literally picked to pieces. But of tbe poet himself* of that which makes him what be Is, bow much do they get? Very little, 1 fear. They have had Intellectual exercise and not an emotional experience. They have add ed to their knowledge, hut have not taken a step in culture. To dig iuto tbe roots and origins of the great poets is like digging into the roots of an oak or maple the better to Increase your appreciation of the beau ty of the tree. There stands the tree in all Its summer glory. Will you real ly know It any better after you have laid bare every root and rootlet? There stand Homer, Dante. Chaucer and Shakespeare. Read them, give your self to them, and master them if you are man enough. The jioets are not to be analyzed; they are to be enjoyed; they are not to be studied, but to be loved; they are not for knowledge, but for culture— to enhance our appreciation of life and our mastery over its elements. All the mere facts about a poet’s work are as chaff as compared with tbe apprecia tion of one fine line or fine sentence. Why study a great poet at all after tbe manner of the dissecting room? Why not rather seek to make the acquaint ance of bis living soul and to feel Its power?—John Burroughs in Century. WllltaM Shakespeare. What point of morals, of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has he not settled? What mystery has he not sig nified bis knowledge of?

There Is a deep seate:! belief amount ing almost to a superstition that alco hol is a very important heart stimu lant. especially when this organ is weak. Winternitz. the great authority on hydrotherapy, in Germany, has often told us of the very great value of cold as a heart stimulant or tonic and that it is far superior to alcohol in this respect. Dr. Kellogg gives tbe method of application as follows: “The application consists of a com press applied to tbe portion of tbe chest wall over tbe heart. This com prises the space bounded by tbe second rib above, the right border of tbe sternum, a line falling a half inch to tbe right of tbe nipple and the sixth rib below. The compress should be large enough to cover this space and to extend at leas/ wo inches outside of it. Ordinarily the best effects are produced by employing water at a temperature of about 60 degrees. The compress should be wrung moderately dry and should be very lightly covered. It is desirable that cooling by slow evaporation should be encouraged and be continued for some time.” Dr. Kellogg continues: “In Germany and France it is tbe custom to adminis ter alcohol to the patient just before putting bim in a cold hath. Some prac titioners. as Winternitz, administer but a very small amount, a single mouthful of wine, for Instance, while others give brandy in considerable quantities. A few American practitioners employ brandy freely with the cold bath. Tbe unwisdom of this practice will be ap parent on due consideration of the fol lowing facts: “One purpose in administering tbe cold bath is to secure a true stimulant or tonic effect by arousing tbe vital energies through excitation of the nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup posed to be capable of effecting this and was used for this purpose Id ty phoid fever and various other morbid conditions accompanied by depression of the vital forces. At the present time, however, it Is well known, and with practical unanimity admitted, that alcohol is neither a tonic nor a stimulant, but a narcotic; that It de presses and does not excite; that It lessens and does not increase the ac tivity of the nerve centers, and that this is true of small ns well as large doses, as has been shown by tbe re searches of careful investigators.”— Health. OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE. AVlii*n Pells Were us Plentiful a* Pennies In tlio Sfnte. Probably few people know that the original name of the state of Tennes see was Franklin or that in 1788 the salaries of the officers of this common wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol lowing is a correct copy of the law: “Be it enacted by the general assem bly of the state of Franklin, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same, that from and after the 1st day of January, 1788, tbe salaries of this commonwealth be as follows—to wit: “His excellency tbe governor, per an num, 100 deerskins. “His honor the chief Justice, 500 deerskins. “The secretary to his excellency tbe governor, 500 raccoon skins. “County clerk, 300 beaver skins. “Clerk of the bouse of commons, 200 raccoon skins. “Justice’s fee for serving a warrant, one minkskin.” At that time the state of Franklin extended to the east bank of the Mis sissippi river, and on the west bank was that great unknown forest region of Louisiana. It was then a “terra in cognita,” save a few canoe landings and Indian trading posts on tbe river banks. It was known as the district of Louisiana and in 1805 was made the territory of Louisiana. The state of Franklin, which be came Tennessee in 1796, was almost as little known. The now great city of Memphis was a mere trading post and was not laid out as a village until 1820. Felts were as plentiful in those days as pennies and much better distributed for purposes of currency and barter. Tbe pioneers were perhaps as happy and as well contented as is tbe average cltiaeu now.—Arkansas Gazette. A RIVER OF LAND. “Tin* capacity filling up c?mn! COOKING HINTS. ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

When winds prevail from any direc tion, as they usually do, lean the tree a little In that direction when setting out The essentials In making a good gar den are rich soil, plenty of manure, good seeds, timely labor and a fair sea son. Having tbe soil In a good tilth and planting in straight rows will save much labor in cultivating in tbe gar den. One of the best ways of getting rid of moss and lichens adhering to the bark of trees is an application of lime white wash. In taking trees from a nursery or for est preserve all of tbe roots and fine rootlets possible. Dig out instead of pulling up tbe tree. When the fruit or leaves of any plant or tree are eaten by insects of any kind, spraying in good season and sufficient ly often is tbe safest and best remedy. Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in full sunshine, four or five Inches deep and about one foot apart Good soli, rather sandy, is best avoiding manure, especially if fresh. Don’t add lard, molasses or sngsr to bread if you wish to keep well and be wholesome. Potatoes baked thoroughly, but not allowed to turn dark, are tbe best to be used for creamed potatoes.

In tbe morn ing it Is wiped before the broiling, but enough of tbe mixture has been ab sorbed to give It a decided flavor. If in making split pea soup a teacup ful of whipped cream is put iu the tureen Just as tbe soup is poured over, the improvement in flavor of tbe soup will lie noticeable. This puree has sometimes a flat, even watery taste that is not at all agreeable, which the whipped cream entirely removes. tlflleea and UPeeaeekers.

Xu ; .mlvpl. < f Tiie Mississippi for .•Kill old channels is something awful.” says John Swain in Ainsiee’s. “Government engineers have found thnt the amount of solid matter annually carried past Vicksburg in sus pension is enough to make a block of earth 300 feet high and a mile square. Fifty feet off the top of this is spread around on the valley between here and the sea, and the rest goes out iuto the gulf of Mexico to build up more conti nent. “Think what that means. Instead of a river of water this is a river of land. It would make a solid stream of earth five feet deep and nine feet wide, flow ing night and day as fast as a man can walk, four miles an hour, all sliding down off the northern half of the coun try toward the sea. Year in, year out, that endless line of earth goes on. It would take a force of more than 50,000 men working in eight hour shifts to throw the dirt into the stream, suppos ing the river bed were rigid and an In exhaustible supply of dirt on tbe bank. It would make 25.0u0,000 wagon loads every year. “But here—what are tbe use of such figures? Below Vicksburg—and above it, too, to an extent—we have the earth Itself to speak for it Except for the occasional fragments of tbe line of bluffs along the eastern edge below here which bob up at Fort Adams, at Natchez, at Grand Gulf, at Baton Rouge, at Port Hudson, there is noth ing about the level of tbe high water river except the artificial levees. These are in places miles back, great earthen banks, sometimes thirty feet high or more, sodded and free from trees, which protect the wonderfully fertile region behind them. “And all this level country which the river overflows and fertilizes is constantly increased by this river of dirt which tbe Mississippi lyings down from the inner region, gatln-rad all the way from the Rockies to Lie Allegha- nies. Sometimes the river starts to eat awby this land that it has made. In a single summer, if it will, it eats away half a mile of it out of some bend, it cuts it out sometimes au acre at a bite and takes with it forests, houses, levees and all else. * “The river 'a not a uniformly moving stream. One side or the middle moves swiftly; the other parts are still or sluggish. Sometimes even these run up stream. The swift part is the chan nel current and runs in the deepest sec tions. It makes crossings whenever driven off shore by a promontory. These crossings are dumping places for the surplus earth the river has picked up in the beud it is eating.” REDUCTO Is :i |><*rfectly harmless vegeta ble .‘otnpnuud.

In his biography of Eugene Field Slason Thompson says that shortly aft er the humorist’s arrival in Chicago it occurred to him one bleak day in De cember that it was time the people knew there was a stranger in town. So he arrayed himself in a loug linen duster, buttoned up from knees to col lar, put an old straw hat on his bead and, taking a shabby book under one arm and u palf leaf fan in bis hand, he marched all the way down Clark street, past the city hail, to the office. Every where along tiie route he was greeted with Jeers or pitying words, as his ap pearance excited the mirth or commis eration of tbe passersby. When he reached the entrance to The Daily News office, he was followed by a motley crowd of noisy urchins, whom he dismissed with a grimace and the cabalistic gesture with which Nicholas Kooran perplexed and repulsed An tony van Corlear from the battlement of tiie fortress on Rensselaersteiu. Then, closing the door in their aston ished faces, he mounted the two flights of stairs to tbe editorial rooms, where he recounted, with the glee of the bov be was in such things, the success of bia joke. Praise of Work Well Doe*. Perhaps there is nothing else so productive of cheerful, helpful service as the expression of approval or praise of work w’ell done, and yet there is nothing so grudgingly, so meagerly given by employers. Many of them seem to think that commendation is demoralizing and that the voicing of appreciation will lead to listlessness and the withdrawal of energy and; in terest. This evinces but a poor knowl* edge of human nature, which is- al ways hungering for approbation, But how mistaken such views are is shown by tbe loyal and unstinted service giv en to those large minded men who. treat their employees as members of a family committed to their care.—Suc cess.
