Experiences in Battle.

I believe, writes a veteran, no two good soldiers will widely disagree as to their sensations during battle. take it to be Q piece of bravado in any man to assert that he had no fear during the progress of long and severe engage ment. A battle is a veritable hell upon earth not to be in serious apprehension while it lasts is to be either drunk, crazy, or insensible. The highest type of bra very is that of the man who realizes the full extent of the peril, but sticks reso- lutely to his duty. It was my expert ence, and that of all those about me, repeated dozen times, that shell firing is not ordinarily nearly so demoraliziDg as that of musketry. It is not often that shells are thrown so that. their frag- ments scatter death and wounds, and their loud humming overhead does not cause that nervous tingling which always follows the sharp zip of the rife bullet The peculiar cutting of the air made by half dozen of these at once is apt to give the soldier the idea that the whole air is filled with them, and that he is certain to be struck by one of them. All, I believe, will agree as to the sensa- tion first caused by the impact of a bullet. It is stunning, numbing feel ing, which for a long time overpowers the local pain of the wound. In my ex- perience, single buckshot near the hip knocked me fiat, and for two days after gave me such acute pains and such mus cular disturbance from knee to shoulder that I could not stand erect. Soldiers have frequent fly been prostrated by spent balls. A curious effect of shell wounds is that they do not bleed the hot frag- ment sears the torn blood vessels and stops the effusion. A Mimic bali ex- tracted from the human body presents a remarkable sight. I have seen them where the resistance of the flesh had turned back the pointed end on all sides with such regularity that the ball resem, bled saucer or a flower.

The Pr0ner Treatment.

A correspondent writes to the Drug gists' Circular, describing a mode of treatment for lime in the eye. He says A colored man came to me in intense agony, some unslaked lime having got into his eye That the lime must be neutralized at all hazards I felt certain. I chose sulphuric acid. I put one drachm and half of the diluted acid in four ounce graduate, filed it with water, and told him to wash his eye with the liquid He did as he was told, and was relieved almost immediately. Then made him rinse his eye with pure water, and after that I told him to anoint it with olive oil and to continue the application for some time. To-day he is almost well, and can see with his eye again. In an other similar case no remedy was imme- diately applied, as doctor had to be sent for from some little distance, and the man lost his eye entirely.

. Orchard Grass

Says, 8 correspondent: I have had some five or six years experience with orchard grass, and look upon it as one of the best pasture grasses, if not the very best, in this region at least. It is ns.tenacious as, and much more abund- ant in. the field than, the blue grass. As hay crop I don't, as yet, think much of 1t, but my experience in this respect has been small It would probably pay pretty well as hay crop for home con sumption, if cut when the bloom first begins to show, and then again in the middle or latter partof September. The stems are too coarse-and hard if left to the seed Always SOW in the spring, about the time of sowing oats, and al ways blow as for any spring crop and harrow in thoroughly. It is just as necessary that it should be thoroughly covered with soil I always SOW thirty five pounds per acre when sowing alone; twenty to twenty-five pounds when sow ingwlh clover. ! < sE !

A MOUNT ADAMS TRAGEDY.
A Young Man Shot while Protect
ing a Widows Grocery.

About 10 O'Clock last night two young
brothers named Daniel and VIM. Hart,
who reside at No. % Fuller street, while
walking along Hatch street, Mt. Adams,
overheard three men talking, while
drinking whisky from a bottle in a lot
close by.
From snatches of the conversation il
was surmised by the brothers that they
intended to rob Mrs. Catherine Olding's
little grocery store, at No. 81 Hatch
street. Tney retraced their steps, en-
tered the store, and sat down to await
the coming OF the drinkers. They soon
arrived, and one of them was recognized
as Ed. Bradley, an ex-policeman, who
was some time ago dismissed from the
force for lewd conduct in Bucktown.
AS soon as Bradley and his compan.
ions entered the store VIM. Hart took
his station behind the counter TO protect
the money drawer. Bradley then
reached for the till, and struggle en-.
sued between them. Dan. Hart Coming
to the assistance OF his brother. one of
BradIey's pals drew u revolver and shot
him in the forehead, telling him to the
floor. William theu ran aWay and the
ruffians fired two SLOTS at him. neither
of which took effect.
The assassins made their escape. The
fatally wounded man was at once con-
veyed to his home and surgical aid sum-
rhH one who ald the shooting is .la.

TRAINING CANARIEs.-A gentleman
residing at Pb@ulXville, says the Read
ing Eagle, Of Queensland, Australia. has
several very fine canary birds to which
he has given much attention. One oil
the birds he has taught to sing Home,
Sweet Home" clearly and Distinctly.
His mode of finstruction Is as follows:
He placed the canary in room where it
could not hear the singing of other birds,
and suspended its cage from the ceiling.
so that the bird could see its ref ,otion
in mirror. Beneath the glass he placed
a musical box that was regulated to
play no other tune but "Home, Sweet
Home" Hearing no sounds but this,
and believing the music proceeded from
the bird he saw In the mirror, the yoaay
canary soon began 10 catch the notes,
and finally accomplished what its own
er had been laboring 10 attain, that OF
singing the song perfectly. This is an
experiment easily tried, and one We
should be glad to know the result Of
from some Of our own bird fanciers II
they make the experiment.
