The records of the war department
completely refute the charges made
against Congressman Miller, of New

during the war. His career as union
soldier is shown by the war department

He entered the army as private soldier,
and after getting promotion to sergeant

The makers of bread in Chicago have
just concluded a brief but successful
strike, most of the bosses conced-
ing reduction of work to
twelve hours per day in the
hours of labor and an advance of 81 per

board themselves and not have to board

A FREAK OF IMAGINATION.

A disponsary case which the re-
porters were not allowed to get
hold of created some stir a short
time ago. The officer on the beat
found the man in halffainting
condition at the steps and, ascer-
tanning that he had been stabbed
between the shoulders, lugged him
in for treatment. The strangers
story, when he was sufficiently recov-
cred to tell it, was to the effect that
he had been sitting on beer-keg
outside a saloon, when he became
drowsy and leaned forward in a
half doze. Some one who he could
not identify, and, in fact, did not
get a good view of, came up the
street, and, in passing him, stab
bed him in the back and made his
escape. The wounded man at once
started for the dispensary, but faint
ed from loss Of blood on reaching
the door. While the doctors were
removing his clothing something
dropped on the floor, which the
quick eye of the peeler caught, and
as he stopped to pick it up, he re-
marked "the man has also been
struck with a glass, and here's a
piece of it." 1t did not prove to be
glass, but piece of ice, and furth
er examination explained its pres
ence. The patient was entirely
unhurt, but had been made the vic
tim of a practical joke. Seeing
him doing some wag had slipped
the ice down his back and struck
him between the shoulders. Sud
denly aroused, and feeling the blow
and the ice melting, he at once jun
ped to the conclusion that he was
stabbed, and the force of magma.
ton was such that he tainted and
became sick at the stomach. Both
he and the officer who had expat-
lated on the severity of the stab,
looked rather crestfallen, and slid
quietly out, while the physicians
roared. st. L0uas Gl0be-Demo-

THE MATCH TRADE.-A leading
match-splint manufacturer of Can
ada is authority for the statement
that there are about % match fac
tories in the United States and Can
ada, and that the daily productions
and consequent daily consump-
tion-is about $4,000 gross per day.
In each gross of matches manufac-
tured there are IA boxes, so that
the $4,000 produces 100000 box
es. Each box made in the United
States, where a duty of one cent
upon every box of matches is levied,
contains 100 matches, so that the
number of matches produced and
used daily amounts to 960,OOO,00O.
Counting that it takes a second to
light each match, to light the 46O,-
100000 would take just that num-
Der Of seconds. This gives 1000
900 minutes, or 100000 hours. In
days of twenty-tour hours each, it
figures up to 4,1661, and gives II
years and months, with a couple
Of days extra, as the time occupied
during every q hours, by the PEG
pie Of North America-not figur-
ing on the MeXicans-in striking

GATHERING SPONGES ON
THE FLORIDA COAST.

A Florida correspondent writes
as follows to the Farm and Fruit
Gr02cer::
"Having a curiosity to see actual
sponge gathering, last Monday
morning found aboard the schoon-
er "Samfilern spinning along to-
ward the bars, but owing to light
winds during the day, we did not
arrive until nightfall. Tuesday
morning, however, sponging COM
nenced in earnest. Shortly after
sunrise the "dingys," manned by
two men each, with water-g glass,
sponge-hooks, ETC., set off in quest
Of sponges. One of the men in the
'dingy" SOULS the boat about here
and there, while the other, lying "a
cross the boats thwart with his head
in the water glass, scans the bottom
for sponges. The water-glass used
by the spongers is nothing but a
common deep wooden pail with a
circular pane of glass for a bottom.
Placing this upright in the water,
and putting the head in far enough
to exclude most Of the light, one
can easily see an object on bottom
in six or seven fathoms of water.
The sponger, when he sees a sponge
by the waving of his hand directs
the skuller how to 90, and when in
a desirable position he thrusts his
long pole down and hooks hissponge.
The vessels usually remain out up
on the bars from Monday until Fri
day evening of each week; coming
into the Keys Friday night, in or
der to clean the sponges which they
gather the week previous, put those
gathered the present week into the
crawls, put their wood and water
on board and prepare for next week
The sponges which they gather one
week are put in crawls or pens,
made by driving posts in the sand
where at low water, they will be
quite or almost dry. Here they are
left until next Saturday, to be wash
ed by the tides. On the following
Saturday they are cleansed by strik-
ing them one or two light blows
with a paddle. When the sponges
are cleaned, they are taken aboard
the schooner and there strung on
strings usually about five and a half
feet long, when they are thrown up
on the beach to bleach and dry.
The number of vessels engaged in
sponging from Key West probably
reaches one hundred and twenty-five
gathering sponges to the value of
about 81 100000 annually. Besid-
es the Key West schooners, we have
forty or fifty fitted out from Cedar
Keys and Oglockney.

BEVERAGES FOR THE
HEATED.

"What is the best drink in warm
weather. said a reporter to an Of
fetal at the Chamber Street hospi-
tai the other day. Gold water"
he replied: ''but not ice cold.
Ice water chills the stomach and
so ultimately Injuries the power of
digestion. One Of the best drinks
in the world is buttermilk with a
little ginger in it. [ know people
don't like it excessively, but it is
valuable for all that. If some OF
the high livers who suffer so sew
erly at times would live on moth
ing for a week but brown bread
and buttermilk, they would feel
like fighting cocks. Another ex-
cellent drink, which bricklayers use
a great deal, is the old-tashoned
drink which the farmers use in
the haying field, water with ginger
and molasses in it. 1t cooIs the
system and opens the pores sufi-

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS,

Ninevah was fourteen miles long
eight miles wide and forty-six miles
round, with a wall thick enough for
three charoits abreast; Babylon
was fifty miles within the walls,
which were seventy-five feet thick
and one hundred feet high, with
one hundred brazen gates. The
temple Of Diana at Ephesus, was
four hundred and twenty feet to
the support of the roof-it was one
hundred years i'll building. The
largest Of the pyramids was four
hundred and eighty one feet in
height, and eight hundred and ff-
ty three feet on the sides. The
base covers eleven acres. The
stones are about sixty feet in length,
and the layers are two hundred and
eight. 1t employed 100000 men
in building. The Labyrinth in
Egypt contains three hundred cham
bers and twelve halls. Thebes, in
Egypt, presents ruins twenty-sev-
en- miles round, and contained $780,
600 citizens and 100000 slaves.
The Temple of Delphos was so rich
in decorations, that it was plund-
cred of $50, 000,0 900, and the En-
peror Nero carried away from it
two hundred statues. The walls
Of Rome were thirteen miles round.

FRESH AIR.-Live ont of doors
as much as you can. 1t is the
place for a man to be. 1t is good
fors the health. A distinguished
physician was in the habit of say
ing: "However bad the air may
be out of doors, it is always worse
in the honse." 1t is good for the
temper. People who are always
shut up in the house are apt to
grow fretful and peevish. They
are prone to acquire narrow views
of things, and to worry over trials
not worth considering. 1t is good
for the whole character, for strength
hope, patience and fortitude. 1t
expands and softens ones nature
and makes us more charitable.
