A Cojt,red NVet's'' Story

The following recital of experience in

traband, brit it is very graphic He had
been shot in the leg with a piece of shell
and was ree lily very badly hurt. Hewas
q plantatic N negro and entirely q non
combatant~ After he got better he was
describing to the doctor one afternoon
how he b ad been hurt, and did it in this
manner:
.. Yor. see, boss I was on the old plan
tatlon when dem Yankee gun-boats dey
cum ZIP the river. Ole massa and missus
had 'tone gone days afore and we niggers
were left on de plantation. When we
see de Yankees comm up de ribber we
all run away an hid in de woods. By
UNI bye the boats began to shell de
| woods and Lord-a-massa what noise ola
did make. Shells as big as -four barrels
! were frowed into de wood and knocked
\ de trees down. It was awful hot, I tell
you, and 1 thought deworld was comm
to de end. De niggers prayed, but it
didn't do no good, as de Yankees only
trowed de more shells, and de Lord
seemed deaf to the partitions of de cullud
persons. Some Of dem shells would go
high up in de air an say Whar is he
whar is hep Like as if dey was lookin'
for somebody. Den, by-um-by, they
would say, Il see him, 1 see him!' and
| wild dat dey would bust an all de little
pieces go skirmishing around de woods
after de niggers. It was one of desc lit
tile pieces dat koch me in de leg, and
elat's how I got hurt It was powerful
warm day, tell yer."

The IS DANDY Crab -

Society and occupation in the world
of sea are represented by masons, build
ers, marauders, usurpers and plunderers,
and all have their distinguishing pecu-
liarities. A fancy Of the quaint spider
crab, or "dandy crab," as he is some
times called, is to decorate himself with
alg@ and sponges, and none but the most
brilliant in color seem to please him;
this, however, not for vain display, but,
primarily at least, for personal protec-
ton. When wishing to array himself he
finds brilliant sponge and piches off
piece after piece with his long slender
claws, these, when broken, are dipped in
a glutinous fluid contained in the mouth,
and are carried to the back and fastened
securely. Sometimes after he has at
tached a particular fragment he reaches
back his claw second time to satisfy
himself that it is secure. This practice
is indulged in only when the crabs are
young and in the full, and it's object is to
obscure the crab from hungry surgeons
and skates. When placed in tank with
many animals the crabs take the same
precaution against possible enemies, and
often cover themselves.

SEASONING Food.

Many people have the idea that fine
ly favored dish must cost a great deal;
that is mistake, if you have untainted
meat, Or sound vegetables, or even In
dian meal, to begin with you can makeit
delicious with proper seasoning. One
reason why French cooking is much
nicer than any other is that it is seasoned
with great variety Of herbs and
spices; these cost very little; if you
would buy few cents worth at time,
you would soon have good assortment.
The best kinds, are sage, thyme, sweet
marjoram, tarragon, mint, sweet basil,
parsley, bay leaves, cloves, mace, celery
seed and onions. If you will plant the
seed Of any Of these seven aforementioned
in little boxes on your window sill, or in
sunny spot in the yard, you can gener-
ally raise all you need. Gather and dry
as follows: Parsley and tarragon should
be dried in June and July, just before
Towering; mint in June or July, thyme,
marjoram and savory in July and Au-
gust; basil and sage in August and Sep
TENDER; all herbs should be gathered in
the sunshine, and dried by artificial
heat; their flavor is best preserved by
keeping them in air-tight tin cans, or in
tightly -corked glass bottles.

Origin of a Common Custom.

Somebody asks through the Worzd
how the custom Of hanging flags at
s'half-staff" on the death Of certain per-
sons originated, and receives the follow
ing for response: The custom of putting
Hays at half-staf, or half-mast, is. proba-
biy as old as the use Of flags themselves,
which certainly dates back to the time Of
Pun1c wars, if not further. It was GUS
tomary at that time to lower the flag in
token of defeat, for we are told that after
the capture of the Carthaginian ships by
the Romans their flags were taken down
and trailed over their sterns by the VIC
tors as is still done when captured ves-
sells are brought into port. The custom
OF putting flags at half staff in all proba-
blllty quite as old, and most likely was
confined to the navy at first.

Value Of Newspaper Property.


There is nothing speculative in well es-
tablished newspaper property. A news
paper is hard to build up, but it is pro-
portionately difficult to pull down. tits
an aggregation of atoms, and it's segre-
cation under the most favorable circum-
stances takes years and years. The
fact that it depends on thousands
of customers for success is It's protec-
ton. No two groups of men think alike,
and what displeases one set pleases
another. Even imprudent management
connot seriously injure newspaper, so
long as it does not tread upon the toes
of too many of it's readers at the same
time. Where it loses in one direction it
gains in another. There is indeed only
one way in which a newspaper can ef-
fectual1y destroy itself, and that is by
Disappointing, and continuing to disap-
point, the general expectations of it's
readers as q whole: These readers ex-
pect the newspaper to keep within Ger
tain lines, and the newspaper that DELHI
erately goes outside, and camps there,
will starve to death as soon as it's readers
have found a newspaper that suits them.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the. digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best of
human skill: While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

THE POET AND HIS SONGS.
BY HENRY W. LoNGELLow.

As the birds come in the spring,
We know not from where:
As the stars come at evening
From depths of the dir; =,
AS the rain comes from the cloud,
And the brook from the ground;
As suddenly, low or loud,
Out Of silence sound;
AS the grape comes to the vine,
The fruit to the tree;
AS the wind comes to the pine,
And the tide to the sea;
As come the white sails Of ships
Der the oceans verge;
As comes the smile to the lips,
The foam to the surge;
So come to the Poet his songs,
All hitherward blown
From the misty land, that belongs
To the vast Unknown.
His, and not his, are the lays
He sings;-and their fame
Is his, and not his:-and the praise
And the pride of a name.
For voices pursue him by day,
And haunt him by night,
And he listens, and needs must obey,
When the Angel says: "Write!"
