CHARAcTERIsrIc.- is little Incl
dent connected with Mahones career during
the late war, which is worth relating. On
one occasion Malone had fight with Gener.
al Wilson's division, near Petersburg, and
Wilson captured whole regiment of Ma.
homes men. Fitz Hugh Lee subsequently
gave Wilson a sound drubbing, and recap
tured Mahone's lost regiment and twelve or
fourteen of Wilson's cannon. Malone had
the pieces hauled to his quarters, and sent a
dispatch to the Richmond papers announcing
that he had whipped Wilson and captured
his artillery. In the meantime he had the
guns placed in conspicuous positions AROUND
his headquarters, as trophies of war. Fitz
Hugh Lee, hearing of this scurvy trick, went
to Mahone's camp at o'clock in the morning
and demanded the guns. Malone impudent-
ly refused to give them up. Fitz Hugh Lee
went back to his camp and ordered his men
to prepare to take the guns. General r. b.
Lee, hearing Of the difficulty, interfered, and
Malone delivered the guns to him, refusing
to hand them over to Fitz Hugh Lee, who
had taken them from the enemy and saved
Mahone's captured regiment. In his mag
nanimity Fitz Hugh Lee did not report to
General Lee that Malone had lost his regi-
ment, but the little brgadier gave him no
thanks, and meanly stuck to it that he had
gained victory and captured the guns. The
incident is suggestive Of the character OF the
mani Courier. Journal.
The ELEPHANT DIsAPPEARING.-Consl
erable interest attaches to a question which
has just been put by a Sheffield worker III
ivory. He desires to know whether elephants
shed their tusks, as, if not, upward of one
thousand two hundred and eighty OF these
magnificent beasts must have been killed to
supply his mandatory alone with the ivory
used last year. The answer to his query is,
unfortunately, that before the tusks can be
obtained an elephant must be slaug htered,
and herein is found a inject for serious re-
Election. Numerous still in Ceylon, though
by no means as plentiful as they were few
years ago, and without doubt existing also in
large numbers in certain parts Of Africa, the
elep ephant is, however, rapidly disappearing.
As beast of burden he is 'unrivaled IN
strength, endurance and intelligence, and the
service he renders in times of war as well rs
peace, would alone more than reward great
effort on his behalf. Quite apart from the
fact that, when he goes, the supply of ivory
ceases too, there is also the grave considera..
tion of his loss as means of locomotion and
transport. 1t is we'll known that he does not
breed in captivity, and it is, therefore, onlyin
a wild state that the species can be preserved:
The destruction of more than twelve hundred
of his kind for one knife making firm implies
a huge and serious waste.

aaT Young chickens drink a great deal Of
water, but they in common with all animals
know just how much they need. Mix your
corn dough very dry and crumbly, therefore,
and let your fowls drink fresh, cool, clean wa
ter after they are through eating. If your
mess is mixed too thin and sloppy, you will
force them to swallow more water than they
need in order TO get at their feed.

Sow1Ne SEED.-The depth to which seed
should be covered depends upon variety of
circumstances, al: of which should be we'll
understood. To some extent the condition of
the soil, the state Of the weather, the nature
of the seed and tts purpose for which it is to
be grown, all have something to do with the
matter. If the soil is warm and the season
at planting indicates period of dry weather,
plant deeper than if these conditions were
different Peas need to be planted quite deep
ifthey are wanted for several pickings through
the season for family use; but for market
purposes, after which the land is to be cleared
for another crop, they may be planted shall.
lower. During some seasons large per cent.
of our common garden seeds fail to grow.
An open seed, as it is called, like beet seed,
needs to be planted nearer the surface than
one enclosed in hard coating, like the tur-
nip or cabbage, because if planted deep it is
liable to rot One and half to three inches
has been found to be the proper depth for the
coarser field and garden seed, while flower
seeds and the finer vegetable seeds want much
less covering, and some are so small as only
to need placing upon the surface and pressing
into the soil with the hand or garden trowel.
All seeds germinate better if the soil is made
firm above them. This may be done with the
hoe, hand, foot, trowel, garden or field roller,
as circumstances may favor.

TAKE CARE OF THE FEET.-Very many
persons do not properly care for their feet.
They wear cotton stockings and thin shoes in
winter sometimes they sit, perhaps for hours,
with their feet damp, and even wet. 1t is not
infrequent for females to 60 about their house
hold work half day at time with their
feet inadequately protected, while the cold
currents of air cause temperature forty de-
grees less near the floor than overhead. Some
people become 80 habituated to cold feet as
not to feel the chill, the longcontinued cold
having contracted the blood vessels and des.
uoyed the proper sensibility of the nerves.
Not few persons 60 to bed in cold room
with their feet still cold, to have them yet
further chilled by cold bed. Now the feet
sustain close relation to the rest of the body.
Hence it is that the physician applies heat to
the feet to relieve congested brain. The
feet of one whose legs are paralyzed will kick
when tickled, though the person is not con.
scious of the tickling, nor, except by sight, OF
the kicking. This indicates, too, one of the
reasons why rusty nail in the foot causes
that fearful disease, lockjaw. Good health
cannot be enjoyed unless the blood circulates
warm and strong through the extremitles.
Mothers should see to it that their children S
feet are we'll clad, and should, from time to
time during the day, remove their shoes to
make sure that they are warm. They should
train them to right ideas and habits in this
respect. With all persons, the rule in Win.
ter should be wooden stockings and thick soled
Shoes and rubbers in wet weather. Extra
soles, whether of cork, felt or even thick
pasteboard, may be used to great advantage
Slippers, or shoes that can be easily removed,
should be worn about the house. If the feet
are permanently cold, from the shrinkage Of
the blood vessels, this will tend to enlarge
them again. In such cases they should be
soaked every night, for time, in quite warm
water.-Y Youths Companion.

Ex-Governor Hubbard's Daughter and Her
Husband,

Newspaper readers will readily recall
the sensation created two years ago by
the elopement and marriage Of daugh-
ter OF Ex-Gov. Hubbard, Of Connecti-
cut, with coachman named Shepard.
II has, since that time. been reported
that the couple were living in pinch
ing poverty, but this statement is not
true. Soon after the marriage they
went TO board with Shepard's brother
in Hartford. Mrs. Shepard occasional
ly visited her fathers house TO see her
mother and sisters, but the presence Of
her husband in the home of her father
was strictly forbidden. Shepard has
wealthy uncle living in Middleton,
Conn, who became interested in Shep-
ard after the elopement The uncle
was somewhat nettled by nsinuations
that Shepard was not good enough for
the young lady and To show that his
sympathy was practical, made
tender of pecuniary assistance. He
made deposit of the necessary amount
of money and Shepard was enabled to
purchase an interest in well estab-
llshed livery business IN New Haven.
Not only is the former coachinan doing
well in business, but he is conducting
himself in manly manner in other
ways, and his wife is reported to be
very happy. She is seen frequently
driving in her phaeton, and, it is un-
derstood, is kindly received by many
of her old friends in New Haven. Once
in while she goes to Hartford, and is
noticed as being in perfect health, and
looking prettier than ever. She keeps
up thoroughly stylish appearance,
and has money enough from her hus-
band to warrant it, all of which proves
that she is not Giving in poverty" as
thousands of people all over the coun-
try, who have become interested in her
welfare, will be happy to learn.

Table Etiquette.

There are great many people who
behave well otherwise, but at table they
do things that, il not absolutely ottre
and ensemble, are at least pidnissimo
and sine die.
II is with q view to elevating the pop
ular taste and etherializing, so to
speak. the manners and customs OF our
readers, that we give below few hints
upon table etiquette.
If by writing an article of this kind
we can induce one man who now wipes
his hands on the table cloth TO come
up and take higher ground and wipe
them on his pants, we shall feel amply
repaid.
II you cannot accept an invitation
to dinner do not write your regrets
on the back of pool check with

A simple note to your host informing
him that your washerwoman refuses to
relent is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table draw
of your gloves and put them in your
lap under your napkin. Do not put
them in the gravy, ms IL would ruin the
gloves and cast gloom over the gravy.
Ii you have just cleaned your gloves
with bcnzine, you might leave them

II you happen TO drop gravy on your
