Playing Hen.

One of the strangest stories of SOM
nambulism, from the Milwaukee Sen
ti4ael, which has ever been narrated:
The parties to the wonder were two
brothers, one little boy. the other a
young man, both living in that city.
They slept together, and seem both ad-
dicted to sleep walking, the older one
in particular. One night the moth
er was awakened from q sound sleep
by tremendous racket, and, rushing to
the room where the boys slept, found
them chasing each other around like
dog and cat. " .....
"What are you doing -?"
Chasing the hen-after the hem"
the older one said. IT,.
The younger one gave much the same
answer when questioned. .....
It was some minutes before they could
be quieted. When they got up next
morning neither of them remembered
any particular of the performance. Come
to find out, however, each was impressed
with the idea that he had turned into q
hon, and was chasing round another.
Which performance any one who has
haunted barnyard has seen great
many times.

Bed-Making Drill.

When the Indian boys now being edu-
Gated at Hampton first came to that
school, they used to get in bed with their
boots on. Thereupon they were given a
drill in bed-making, which is thus de-
scribed:
When they first began to make beds,
the sheets we're either tucked up under
the pillow, or laid on the outside. One
boy was found to have seven sheets and
did not know the proper use for two.
The janitor helped me carry bedstead
into the sitting groom, the boys were call
ed IN and seated in semi-circle, and I
began the process of bed making, the
boys grunting and laughing as it pro-
ceeded. When the clothes were neatly
tucked in, and the Pillow shaken and
put into place, said, 'sNow, boys, I'll
show you how to get into bed" which l
did. Then, through the interpreter, I
asked who was willing to try it.
He had hardly put the question, when
q boy who had objected to having his
hair cut when he first came, stepped for

every movement. SO closely had he OBJ

Cause Of Poor Butter.

We have said many hard things of
the manufacturers of bad butter. But
much of the fault is chargeable to the
oowardly conduct of country and city
grocers and store-keepers. For fear of
the timber tongue and neighborhood
influence of some prominent farmers
wife who brings large quantities of
grease, dirt and buttermilk to market
each week and calls them butter, the
cowardly merchant pays just as much
for this conglom Grafton as he does for
pure, sweet butter. It is then tumbled
all together, good, bad and execrable,
into a common tub or barrel, and mixed
up for fear some customer may by
chance discover the difference and in
quire for some special farmers butter.
It was hoped that the increase of butter
factories would supply so much good
butter that all classes would be COM
PEELED to produce sweet, clean article
or find no market Such, however, is
not the result. Nearly all the good
factory butter is taken to the Eastern or
foreign markets, and the home towns
and cities are mainly supplied with what
would be termed grease if taken to the
great cities of the Union. Every town
should have butter inspector, who
should be authorized to grade and mum.
Der the butter according to the quality.
The timorous merchant would then
grade his prices according to the number,
like wheat. This, it is true, would cost
considerable, but the world could afford
to do or pay almost anything to improve
the OUalitV Of hnftar Thera is roth;no
in human economy so filthy and de-
graded as the common grade of butter.
In some way the root of this evil should
be removed at any expense. The
chronic manufacturers OF hair-grease
aud buttermilk ought to be extermi-
nated.-Weste132 Exchange.

The Last Flag Under Fire,

Gen. Tom Harrison's Texas brigade,
composed of two Texas, one Tennessee
aud one Arkansas regiment, was prob
ably the last brigade under fire during
the war, as it was engaged with North
ern troops between Raleigh and Sails
bury, N. c.. just above Chapel hill, on
April IA, 1866, the day that the armis-
tice was declared. The flag carried
on that day by one of the Texan regi-
ments (the Eleventh Texas Volun-
teeIs) is now in possession of John
Halford, OF Denison, who was mem
Der of that regiment at the time, and
who concealed it and brought it home
with him in the back Of his jacket.
This is probably the last Southern flag
fred at by United States troops. It is
small silk Confederate flag and still
in good condition, there being only one
small tear in it, and that was done the
last day it was under fire.-Maco,a

italian Postal CuriOsities.

The distribution of letters is, in fact,
one OF the weakest points in the Ital-
ian postal system. Except in large
towns the postoffce does not profess to
make any house-to-house distribution
at all, except on the payment of a
small fee, generally sou for each
packet delivered to the postman; and
in the large towns the delivery is done
in a very careless manner. The post
man rarely takes the trouble to climb
the stairs to the different apartments,
except just before Christmas, but con
tents himself with leaving all tho let
ters for house with porter, who de-
ivers them whenever he happens to be
going upstairs; if the porter is not in
the way the letters go back into the
bag until the next round is made, or are
even sometimes left at a shop near.
No wonder then that letters frequently
miscarry without such willful intention
as the postman showed who was dis
covered one Christmas stufing all his
letters into sewer grating that he
might get the sooner to his Christmas
dinner. The excuse for non
uoANOAy 40 UudU WILL HOUSES Oh
five or six stories the work is
too hard for the postman; but the
remedy for that is obvious. It is only
fair to say that the postoffce does not
recognize this haphazard distribution !;
but complaints only remedy the. evil for
time, and somehow ones letters seem
TO miscarry more frequently after max
ing them. As consequence most bust
ness houses pay small fee to the post
Office to have box of their own, into
which all of their letters are put, and
Withdrawn by messenger.
The difficulties put in the way of cash
ing postofics orders (and also, it may
be added, of obtaining registered let
ters) are most vexatious. You must
produce some one to identify you who
is known to the officials, and it is easy
to see how difficult this may often be;
otherwise notarial certificate is re-
CURED, and that is only removing the
difficulty . step further.-PaU Mall

Snow Forts.

There is no sport among winter
games more exciting and amusing than
SNOWFALL warfare.
All the boys must join in building
the fort, selecting the highest point Of
the play grounds, or, if the grounds are
level, the corner of wall or fence.
Supposing the top of a mound has
been selected as the place where the
works are to be built, the first thing to
90 is to make out the plan of the foun-
dations. The dimensions depend upon
the number of boys. A circle, twelve
feet in diameter, or square with sides
of ten feet, will make a fort that will
accommodate company of ten boys.
1t is better to have the fort too small
than too large. The chief engineer
must set his men at work rolling large
snow balls; the smaller boys can COM
mence and the larger ones take them
in hand when the balls have gained in
size and become too heavy for the
younger boys. .
Make these balls of snow as large and
dense as possible, then roll them in
place upon the lines traced out for the
foundation. We will suppose it to be
a square. In this case, care must be
taken to have the corners of the square
opposite the most probable approach of
the enemy. This will leave the smallest
point possible exposed to the attack,
and the inmates of the fort can, without
crowding each other, take good aim at
the foe. After the four sides of the
square are covered by large snow-balls,
all hands must pack the snow about the
bottom, and fill up each crack and
crevice, until solid wall is formed.
Then, with spades and shovels, the
walls should be trimmed down to per-
pendicular on the inside, but slanting
upon the outside. The top of the wall
may be two feet broad and the base
four feet. When the wall is finished,
prepare mound of snow in the center
of the square for the flagstaff. This
mound will be very useful as reserve
supply in case the ammunition gives
out. A quantity of snow-balls should
next be piled up, inside the walls, at
the four corners. This done, the fort
is ready for it's defenders.-St. Nicho-
las.

A Surprise or Two.

Col. William @. Church contributed
to Scr5b7aer 9 suggestive and instruct
i've account of the manufacture of
American Arms and Ammunition"
The exhibit made by Col. Church Of
the extensive use of American material
by European nations will be matter
OF general surprise to those not familiar
with the facts. The paper contains the
following anecdotes:
The reduction in cost of arms manu-
facture has not been obtained at the
expense of quality. It has, on the con-
trary, been accompanied by steady
improvement in workmanship. The
use of machinery compels the en-
ployment of better material. At his
examination, in 1852, before the Par
iamentary Committee in England, Col
Colt, the inventor of the revolver, was
shown Mimic rifle, presented as a SUI
perior specimen of French handicraft.
"Do you consider" he was asked,
that the muskets made in the United
States equal this?"
"There are none SO badly made at
our armories," was the reply. @That
arm could not pass any of our in
spectOrs." .r*. 49, Il
This was no idle Yankee boast, and il
was equally true of the Enfeld-made
breech- leaders, sent to the Providence
Tool Company twenty years later as
models to be followed in fulfilling the
Turkish contract. These were so i'm
proved upon that Turkey has secured
much better arm than that used in the
English service. "..r
The reason is simply this: Though
the Enfield guns were honest and
strong in workmanship, and made of
excellent material, as are most English
productions even their model arms show
lack of finish not to be tolerated here, !
where the perfection of automatic ma
chine work is obtained, at a far less cost
than the less.perfect hand-work. As
Col. Colt stated on the occasion re-
ferred to, it cost them less in the United
States to complete gun-stock than it
did in England to buy the wood for
one.

A WOOd.Cutter's Terrible Experience.

Adolph Hintzky went out on the
mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania
alone to chop wood for the charcoal
burners, and nothing was seen of him
for three days. A hunter by the name
of Hines, passing over the mountain,
tracked rabbit under large, heavy.
tree. To his great surprise he found 4
man lying under the limbs of the tree
in the snow. The man still lived.
Hires dropped his gun and game ard
ran otto the nearest cabin for assistance.
Hines and another man went back and
found the man to be Hintzky, pris-
oner under the tree, half buried in
the snow. By the light of their lanterns
he was cut out and freed. He could
not stand at first, and was nearly dead.
His ears were frozen and his feet were
terribly frozen. With great difficulty
he was taken to house. His story was
that he was cutting down the tree. Be-
fore it fell he sat on stone to eat his
dinner. Suddenly q violent gust of
wind blew through the gorge and the
tree fell with a crash, crushing the I'M
fortunate woodman under it's heavy
branches. He was rendered senselese
by the blow, but the stone upon which
he sat saved his life. The force of the
blow was averted. The man had raised
himself up, and when the tree fell it pin

thirst. His boots had to be cut fro1
