When the question of courage is once
settled It hardly makes a difference
what kind It i«, whether it is on the
battlefield or in the tent. In 1801, says
Lippineott'a Magazine, the great-grand
son of a Quaker who had settled on an
island in Lake Champlain was drafted.
“It will be no use.’’ said the young
man. “I shall never fight. My mother
taught me it is a slu. It is her religion,
and my father’s, and their fathers’. I
shall never raise my baud to kill any
one.”
The recruiting officer took no notice.
“We’ll see about that later,” said he.
The regiment went to Washington,
and the Quaker boy drilled placidly
and shot straight.
“But I shall never fight,” said he.
Word went out that there was a
traitor in the ranks. The lieutenant
conferred with the captain, and all the
forms of punishment devised for re
fractory soldiers were visited on this
lad. He went through them without
flinching, and then he was taken be
fore the colonel.
"What does this mean'.'” demanded
the officer. “Don’t you know you will
be shot?”
The Quaker smiled a little. He had
steady eyes and a square chin.
“That Is nothing,” be said. “Thee
didn’t think I was afraid, did thee?”
The prisoner went back to the guard
house, and the colonel sought out 1’res
ident Lincoln.
“Why, that’s plain enough,” said the
president. “There’s only one thing to
do. Trump up some excuse and send
him home. You can’t kill a hoy like
that, you know. The country needs all
her brave men, wherever they are.
Send him home.”
So the Quaker went back to the is
land, to life and duty as he saw them,
and his children tell the story.

Wicked Polly Has Two Days of Fun
With Bayonne Folks.
(New York World.)
The residents in the vicinity of
fashionable Avenue A and Fourteenth
street, Bayonne, N. J., will today take
active steps to capture a “cussing”
poll parrott that for several days has
inhabited a tall tree near the house
of Charles E. Annett.
Whence the bird came or to whom
it belongs is a mystery, but its early
days must have been passed with a
ship’s crew, for it swears like a sailor
in irons.
Polly’s presence was not discovered
for two days. It first fooled every
body by crying after men who left
their homes for New York trains:
“Better hurry up. dad, or you will be
late! Time’s nearly up.”
When the men turned to see what
member of their family was talking
the parrot laughed “Ha, ha,” and said
“Rubber.”
When school girls passed the tree
Polly would cry “Hello, dear; going
far?” the girls thought the boys were
growing saucy.
Richard Annett was greeted yester
day with “Hello, uncle! Hello, uncle!”
Thinking one of his nephews was up
the tree he cried back, “Better come
down before you fall,” and the parrot
answered "Go soak your head!”
This aeu : ed Mr. Annett and he de
cided t' eV.ise the hoy from the tree.
When ) id he had been fooled by
a parrot ; said things. During the
day Policeman Keating and a score
of boys tried to capture the bird but
she flew to the topmost branches.
There she was still “cussing” last
night.
The Secret of Good Coftee
Even the beat housekeepers cannot make a good cup of
coffee without good material. Dirty, adulterated and quoerly
blended coffee such as unscrupulous dealers shovel over their
counters won’t do. But take the pure, clean, natural flavored
LION COFFEE, the leader of all package coffees—
the coffee that for over a quarter of a century has been daily
welcomed in millions of homes—and you will make a drink fit
for a king in this way:
HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
LION COFFHE, becanie to get best results you must use the beat coffee.
Grind your LION COFFEE rather flue. Use “a tablespoonful to each cup, and one
extra for the pot.” First mix It with a little cold water, enough to make a thick p<.ste and

CAMPHOR BYPRODUCTS.
How They Are Ohtaiiie<l Krom Every
I’m-t of the Tree.
Every part of a camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to Formosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper. Camphor is found in the form
of crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double
distillation. From the first distillation
is secured an oxidized product, cum-
phogenotol, the principle of the cam
phor oils of commerce. The crude
camphor is a dark colored substance,
fusing at 17<> degrees C.
Among the byproducts may be men
tioned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil and used in the manufacture
of soap. Red oil also is obtained from
the crude camphor oil ns well us black
oil, which is extensively used in the
preparation of varnishes. A turpentine
is secured from the white oil that is in
great demand for medical and indus
trial purposes. From red oil is ob
tained tin* product known ns saffrol,
employed to a considerable extent in
the manufacture of perfumery and
also soup, and a disinfectant is also
distilled from red oil after the addi
tion of other substances claimed to kill
the cholera bacillus. Another product
is an insecticide, which when ni nglrd
with 100 parts of water destroys in
sects injurious to farm crops.—Scien

The Eye of the Shark,
The eye of the shark is small, long
and narrow, closely ^resembling that of
a pig. All observers have agreed hi at
tributing to it a sly and malicious ex
pression, but this must to some extent
be taken as a flight of fancy. The only
real reason for attributing to the shark
a savage disposition is that, like t!: ■
wolf, he has no pity whatever for a
comrade in distress and that a wound
ed shark will be instantly attacked
and devoured by his companion. This
is indeed an evil trait In the creature
and can only be excused on the ground
of his prolonged fasts and the over
mastering demands of his appetite.—

This Must Have Been a Printer.
(Clifton S. Wady.)
I dreamt a dream the other night
when all around was still;
I dreamt I saw a wallet and a hun-
dred-dollar bill;
Of course I thought I thought I
dreamt and drew my curtain
wide;
But on my sight instanter fell a
mighty golden tide.
From out the endless reaches of a
silent upper sky
The hand of Old Benevolence each
second let ’em fly;
The jingle of the silver as it struck
my window sill
Made me forget the wallet and the
hundred-dollar bill;
And I stared in speechless pleasure
at the bags of gleaming gold.
For the wealth that lay before me—
like the truth—has not been told.
Then of course there came reaction,
and I danced in jerky glee.
And I howled and shrieked in laughter
in extremes of ecstacy.
Till a strong hand clutched my top-
knot where the hair Is poorly fed,
And awoke me as it broke me from
my fancies, hack to bed.
There Is often Joy in sorrow; there Is
pleasure, too, in pain;
And I’d sleep a week, tomorrow could
I dream that dream again!

In every great business the chief
trouble is to find a powerful and pion
okring staff. It is frequently achieved
in these days, and especially in Ameri

ments. One person after another gets
his chance, and nine-tenths of the num
ber are flung upon the street.—British
