A knapSack Drill.

Let me give you an aneCdOte OF some
of the joyial and lively boys whose pres
ence in a company did more to promote
health and happiness than the hospital
quinine and opium pills. In the old
Twelfth Indiana Regiment there were
four or five of these kind of men, full of
life and fun. Here is one of Enoch
Taylor's "Gouge games," as he called
it. If Taylor is living he knows it's true,
and hope he will forgive me for using
his name.
While at camp in Darenstown, Nd,
in 1861, an order was issued for KNAPP
sack drill every afternoon. The men
were required to pack their clothes, etc,
as if going on the march, and drill in
that shape for two hours. AS the regi-
ment was forming, Col. w. H. Link,
riding down the line, observed few
straws protruding from the lap of Tay-
lor's knapsack. The Colonel reined up
his horse with What have you got in
your knapsack"
"It's straw" says Taylor.
"What have you got it in there for?'
"Why, Colonel, it amt as heavy as
clothes.n
"Go to your quarters, and tomorrow
l want you in ranks with every thing
you've got. Do you hear?"
"All right" says Taylor; 81 always
obey orders;n and he walked to his tent.
The next day he appeared in line with a
knapsack well stuffed, his overcoat and
blankets forming roll about the size of
q ten gallon keg, and enough to extend
six inches beyond his shoulders, each
way causing him to occupy the space Of
two men in the ranks. The Colonel
rode down the line, Taylor's appearance
caught his gaze, and he halted in front
of him.
"What in thunder is the matter with
you?"
Nothing at all, Colonel,n says Tay
lor; "you told me yesterday to bring
every thing | had, and I've done So"
Colonel-"I should think you had -
TAYLOR" Jes' so.n
Colonel" Do all them belong to
you?"
Taylor" Yes, but forgot my frying
pan; it's down to the tent
Colonel" For Gods sake 90 and get
it, and when you do get it stay with it.
Go to your quarters!"
"All right" says Taylor, 81 always
obey orders. I'll 90 and write to moth
er while you drill and I'll tell her all
about this, and hereafter l don't aim to
be imposed on. I can carry as big a
bundle as any body and no straw in it. $"

Science and Industry.

The South has raised this year
600,000,000 pounds of tobacco, which is
100000 more than she ever raised be-
fore.
Kansas is the principal field for
supplies of castor beans, and the crop
this year is estimated up to 100000
bushels.

made to supply their wants.
1t is stated that on Jas. L. Rays

Montana, this season, one acre yielded
102 bushels of wheat, the largest yield of
wheat ever recorded.
In Los Angeles County, Cal, there
are 5,172, 900 vines, which produced l.
075,000 gallons of wine during the past
year. Next year it is believed the prod
uct will be 2,2j0,0O0 gallons.
The total shipments of grain by

A Little Mistake.

A queer story, one which the Ital-
ians have characterized as being "well
founded,n if not true, reaches US from
st. Petersburg. Lady Dufferin went to
court to be presented to the Czarina.
On arriving at the Winter Palace she
was shown into an ante-rOOm, as she
thought, where an aged lady, whom
she took to be 2 mistress of ceremo-
nies, was seated on an ottoman. The
lady motiOned her to place beside her,
and entered into conversation, but in a
frigid Russian style. The handsome
Irish woman with the Hamilton blood
in her veins has a little pride of her
own, and thinking the Muscovite wait
ing-wOman was rather patronizing to
the wife Of an ambassador, assumed q
" stand-off " air on her side. The GER
emonious dame became more ceremO-
NOUS and almost naughty. At length
she asked:
"Haye you seen my daughter, late
Typ
"PardOn me, madame said Lady
Dufferin, g fancy we do not move in
the same circle. Pray, who may your
daughter be?"
The answer led up to tableau.
"The Duchess of Edinburg," said the
stately old female, who was no other
than the Empress of Russia herself

How She Kept an Expense Account.

"My dear fellow" said Lavender,
"it's all very nice to talk about econO-
MIXING and keeping a right rigid acs
count of expenses and all that sort of
thing, but I've tried it. Two weeks ago
| stopped on my way home Saturday
night, and | bought just the gayest little
Russia-leather, cream-laid paper account
book you ever saw, and silver pencil
to match it. l said to my wife, after
supper: My dear, it seems to me that
it costs us lot of money to keep
house.
"She sighed and said: Il know it
does, Lavvy, but Pm sure I can't help
it. I'm just as economical as | can be.
| don't spend half as much money for
candy as you do for cigars

alties, so / sailed ahead. L believe,my
dear, that if we were to keep strict
account of every thing we spend we
could tell just where to cut down. I've
bought you a little account book, and
every Monday morning I'll give you
some money, and you can set it down on
one side, and then during the week you
can set down on the other side every
thing you spend, and then on Saturday
night we can 60 over it and see just
where the money goes and low we can
boil things down little.
"Well, sir, she was just delighted :
thought it was irst-rate plan, and the
pocket account-book was lOvely-regu-

we got through supper and she brought
out the account book rs proud as posi-
bic, and handed it over for inspection.
On one side was, Received from Lavvy

on the other page, and what do you
think was there? Spent it all!' Then

mutual consent. Yes, sir, I've been
there, and know what domestic econo-
