z. I. White relates in the Providence
Press the following incident of the war,
described to him, in company with Gen.
Garfield, on Southern railway train,
by the lady who was the heroine of the
story:
"The lady was a resident of Mem
phis, returning from visit to Connect
cut, and her nieces were to speH the
winter with her in the South. During
the war she had lived in the part of Ken
lucky through which we we're riding;
and Gen. Garfield had seen important
military service in the same section.
She was young in 1861, and her lover
had gone into the Confederate army. In
one of the Kentucky battles he was des-
perately wounded, and as the Confeder-
ates were defeated he had to be left
upon the field: His sweetheart, with q
devotion which is the glory Of her sex,
accompanied only by child, went to
tie field almost before the battle was
over, to find him and to save his life.
She said that she had never attempted
to describe the horrible scenes she wit
messed upon that battlefield, although
they were stamped indelibly upon her
memory. Her heart was strong and her
purpose SO determined that she walked
among the dead and dying in search Of
her loved one, almost unmoved, and was
finally rewarded by finding him. He
was nursed back to life, and subsequent
ly became the husband OF the heroic
woman whom even the terrors OF the
battlefield could not keep from his side
in his hour of great peril, The most
touching part of the lady's narrative.
which was modestly related, with moth.
ing in her tone and manner to show o
consciousness OF having done anything
but commonplace net, was the tribute
she paid to the Union officers and SOL
diers with whom she came in contact
She had no words too eloquent to de.
scribe, their chiyalry and gentleness
toward her, or their readiness even at
such time, when everything was con.
fusion, to give her all the assistance in
their power. :

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GOLD NaTcIr, aside from
the necessary thickness fer engraving ard
polishing, Il large proportion cf metal is
needed only to stilien and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
Tho surplus goll is actually needless. In
james Boss Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and soLIpITY and
STRENGTH increased ly u simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate Of SOLID
GOLD is solderc,' on each side Of plate
Of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, are crt and shaped by
dies and formers The gold is thick
enough to admit Of all kinds Of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is

In parts of the province of Canton, and
probably in other parts of China, the ant is
used to hunt worm which is destructive to
orange trees. In the hill countries the red and
yellow ants are gathered by ant-hunters by
means of bladders. The ants have ests on the
limbs of trees and are persuaded to be caught.
These ants are sold to the orange-culturists,
who make homes for them in the orange trees.
Bamboos are laid from tree to tree so the ants
can visit the whole orchard without descend
ing to the ground The ants attack and de-
stroy the worms very efectually. The method
of fighting worms with ants has been certainly
known since 1910, and was probably made use
of at an earlier date.

A French surgeon says, that on chloro'
forming some mice and lifting them by their
tails, they tried to bite, but on laying them
aga in in a horizontal position, they resumed
insensibility. Acting on this hint, when
patient showed signs of collapse under dose
of coloroform, he dropped the patients head
over the bedside and raised the feet quite high.
The patient at once became conscious; when
lain straight on the bed he became insensible
again, and return to lowering the head and
raising the feet for ten minutes was required to
counteract the chloroform. 1t is thought that
by this treatment anasthetics may be used
with great safety.
