A Banner with q Strange Device.

Upon the declaration Of war in 1912
the town military companies reorgan-
lied by the election of new officers and
q general brushing up of accoutrements.
just before the battle of Plattsburg a
town company in that vicinity elected
stalwart but rather illiterate fellow, by
the name of Jonathan Pilsbury, Captain.
He felt that the eyes of the whole State
of New York were upon him. He en-
courged his company to be brave in the
coming battle. He assured them that
he would "behead them as long as there
was a man of them left, and that his
own name should go down to posterity."
The banner of the company had en-
blazoned upon its folds, in addition to
the stars and stripes, the emblematic
eagle, holding in his talons the legendary
scroll, "E Pluribus Unum." The Cap
tain eyed the eagle with admiration, but
was puzzled as to the significance of the
motto. Seeking light upon the subject,
he was informed by wag that it was
the name Of the first Captain Of the
company. A bright thought dawned
upon the uncultivated mind Of Captain
Pilsbury. He quietly took the flag to
sign-painter and had the name Of the
'' first Captain obliterated and his own
substituted, and that company rushed
bravely into the fight bearing the banner
with that strange device, "E. Jonathan
Pilsbury. "-C7ereiand Penny Press.

The other night, when . certain De-
troit club had gathered in its hall,
member announced the serious illness of
one of the officials A second member
at once moved to the platform and said:
Gentlemen, no one can regret this
sad news more than do. II seems to
me that the occasion calls for few re-
marks expressive VI sympathy and con-
dolence. I do not wish 10 occupy your
valuable time, but | feel il a duty TO say
of the ailing brother"
Here q member came up stairs and
announced that the person was dead.
He had Just heard the news on the
street.
"Very well, then," continued the
speaker, "remarks eulogistic Of his
many virtues, are certainly in order after
this announcement, and l can 90 ahead
without fear of transgressing upon the
time Of the club. We all knew the de-
ceased. We were all familiar with his
many noble traits of character. A
brother has died and King has fallen.
1t will be long ere we -"
Here another dilatory member put in
an appearance and announced that the
person referred to was not dead or even
i'll, but was in perfect health. Without
the least change Of countenance the
speaker continued:
"That being the case, I deem it my
duty to indulge in few remarks on the
happiness we all must feel at knowing
that our dear brother still lives. Life
is but a span, and man cometh up like
a flower and is cut down. The familiar
faces beside us to-day may rest in the
grave tomorrow. Death comes so ST.
lently and swiftly that"
Here the person himself entered the
hall, having been detained beyond his
usual time by some occurrence on the
street. The speaker didn't seem in the
least put out, but waved his hand
around the hall and said:
al certainly am not trespassing upon
the valuable time of the club when l
say that we all rejoice to see our brother
here. am now more than ever con-
WINGED that 1 should indulge in few
remarks. Twill go back to the begin

But the club rose up As one man and
choked him off, and the meeting opened

A Boston correspondent OF Forest and
Stream tells the following remarkable
story: The scene is laid in Long Island.
where, on the shore of a pond, the cor
respondent was watching the play Of
swallows as they kimmed just over the
surface of the water shortly before sun
set. "About hundred yards out was
a bed of lily pads; and as the swallows
skipped it, occasionally a good sized
ripple could be seen, and sometimes q
break from the edges indicating fish
there. This fastened my attention to
the particular place. had often seen
cats play with swallows swooping ut
them, but the idea of fish doing the
same was something new to me. Pres
emily saw clean breach, and a fine
large pickerel showed his whole size
and got swallow, too, as he disap-
peared beneath the water. This saw
repeated several times, and l called the
attention Of my companion to this novel
sight. While we were watching we
saw two large fish break at the same
swallow, the fish coming from opposite
directions, and each head on to each
Both missed the swallow, but, singular
to relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water, and neither was seen To
pass the other My companion and my
self looked with wonder. There was \
great commotion in the water with
continuous scattering, and boat being
handy we jumped in and rowed TO the
spot, and picked up the largest pond
pickerel I ever saw. When we had him
in the boat the mystery was solved;
the smaller of the fish had, in his eager
ness for the swallow, jumped clear
down the larger ones throat, and only
the tail, to the extent Of about an inch,
showed. The large fish was completely
rent asunder and killed by the cafastro-
phe. Both together weighed twenty
TWO pounds"

The exports of butter from this
country are only four per cent. of the pro-
duction; those of cheese forty-five per
cent. English people eat far more
cheese than butter. 1t is staple food
among laboring men in England.
The export of French beetroot sugar
to the end of the year amounted to only
5000 tons, as compared with $1,000 in
1873; but in Austria, where an increased
acreage more than compensated for the
deficient crop, the export was 1904
tons, against 81 400.
The Hlustrirte Zeitung gives the fol-
lowing statistics concerning the tele-
graphic wires of the world. Those of
Europe measured at the close of 1878,
76S, 7s6 English miles; those of Aneri-
heihs 1uoeAssAisss
1852: and Africa, S,l4S. The tele-
graphic net that embraces the world
comprises, therefore, 9S0,l76 English
miles, or 1,513,6 S3 kilometres.

As the color of indigo is really a
greenish blue when it is used as pig
ment or in solution, and as the color of
the dry cake is not only very black, but
variable, according to the mode in
which it is handled, Prof. o. n. Rood
thinks it desirable TO let "indigO" fall
into disuse in designating color OF the
spectrum, and to substitute "ultrama-
rine' for it, the color of the artificial
variety being intended.

a GEORGIA HAwK.-A Georgia hawk
recently made bold attack upon lady.
She was sitting in a room adjoining the
hall in her house at Vineyilie, when she
heard heavy thud, and the noise Of fall
ing glass outside the door, Rushing into
the hall she found her little child there,
and perched upon some object near at hand
a gigantic hawk. Upon the appearance of
the lady the birl made swoop for her,
and while she was using all endeavors to
protect the child by covering its head,
fastened its talons in the lady's hair. After
serious struggle she succeeded in beating
the bird off, when it retreated to picture
of General Lee, upon which it perched.
The lady ran to her room and called
upon the servants to close the hall
door. This was done, and the hawk,
would have been captive, if he had
not darted into bedroom, sided to the
window and escaped. He was SO large
that when he entered the door his wings
struck the doorway on each side.
