 l shall never forget the amount of money 1t cost us to keep an old woman from crying herself to death. Of course we were obliged to subsist of the country as we went along. and we naturally took about the best in sight. One day we took possession of chicken rancho kept by an old lady who stood at the front gate with broom and threatened to lick all of Sherman's forces if they did not move on. Now, chicken was con- sidered officers meat, and. as we were internally hungry. we went for these hens pretty lively. When she saw that her favortc fowls were being caught and killed. she keelcd right over and began 10 cry. Presently she began to scream, and finally you could hsar that woman's $ voice clear to Atlanta. sent the sur geons in to quiet her, but they failed :; and the officers took turns, but the more attention you paid her the more she howled. then got pretty nervous over the internal noise. because the whole army would hear 1t, and they might sup pose somebody was ;orturing the woman Finally Sherman rode up and asked what it was all about. When we told him he said: "Give her a bushel of confederate bonds for her hens, and sec if that won't stop her." Acting on his hint, proceeded to business. We had captured confederate train the day be- fore with S4,ooo,ooo in confederate money, and l hunted up the train at once. The money was worth about two cents on the dollar. We'll. stuffed about half million dollars in an old carpet sack and marched into the house Madam. I'll give you SSoo.ooo to quit this noise." l, was as still as death in a minute. and then her face expanded in a broad smile. laid the package of notes on the table, and never saw so de- lighted a woman.

A new remedy for the headache has been found by Dr. Hayley, an Australian physician. who says that for some years pas, he has found minimum doses of iodide of potassium of great ser'ice in frontal headache; that is, a heavy, dull headache, situated over the brow, and accompanied by langour, chilliness and a feeling of general discomfort, with dis taste for food, which sometimes ap- breaches to nausea. can be completely removed by two-grain dose dissolved in half wine glassiul of water, and this quietly slipped. the whole quantity being taken Tn about ten minutes. In many cases. he adds, the effect of these small doses has been simply wonderful, as, for instance, person who a quarter of an hour before was feeling most miserable, and refused all food. wishing only for quietness. would now take a good meal and resume his wonted cheerfulness. In cases of drunkenness small doses frequent ly administered will in an hour almost en- tirely restore the normal condition. Where the nerves have become uns,rung by excess the same treatment, acts like a charm in restoring tone to the system.-

A Duel Declared Of.
I Washington Letter.


 When General Zachary Taylor was president his son-in-law, Jefferson Davis. of Mississippi, afterward president himself, was in the senate. Al one par ticnlar time under this administration Colonel Bissell, afterward governor of Illinois, who had headed an Illinois rcgi- ment in the Mexican war, was in the house of representatives. One of Bis sells enemies took occasion to remark, in debate in the house one day that in a certain battle on Mexican soil Bissell's cowardice nearly lost the day to the American arms. Nothing" he de- clared, but the skill and bravery ot Colonel Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, and his brave regiment prevented dis graceful rout." Bissell jumped up promptly and angrily denounced this statement as false. In fact. he said the case was just the other way-Colonel Davis cowardice nearly lost the day. Colonel Davis regiment lost its heart; Colonel Bissell's bravery and ability saved the day. His regiment was only less brave and skillful than himself It does not appear, from the story that came to me the other day, that the repre- sentative to whom Colonel Bissell gave the lie cared to take 1t up. But Senator Jefferson Davis immediately sent Colonel Bissell polite note inviting him 10 re- tract or fight. The colonel replied that he preferred to fight, and after the blood thirsty manner oi those days, named muskets, slugs, and five paces as the terms. He expressly requested that the place and the hour be so arranged that the police could not possibly interfere. Senator Davis agreed with his antagonist as to the conditions, and the seconds were instructed accordingly. Colonel Bissell was on the ground at the early morning hour named; SO were his second and his surgeon. But Senator Davis did not appear. After waiting several hours Colonel Bissell returned to the city and went to his rooms. There he found the presidents private secretary with an in- vitation to come at once to the White House. or course he went, and as he had expected, found his challenger in the library with President Taylor. The lat ter said to Colonel Bissell that, thinking it pity that two such men should make war upon one another, he had himself arrested Senator Davis, and had sent his private secretary to ar- rest Colonel Bissell. Now that he had them, he proposed to keep them, at least until after lunch, and as they were his guests, they must also be friends. So they shook hands with more or less cor diality, and declared the duel of.

Another Snake Story.
tExchange.l


 Four officers sitting in bungalow in India, relates Miss (. C. Hopley in her recent book Snakes were deep in a game of whist. Suddenly one of them, turning deadly pale, made signs that no one should move or speak. In a hushed whisper he exclaimed:
 Keep still for heavens sake. feel a cobra crawling about my legsm
 He knew that tiinidity was one of the characteristics of this snake. and that, if not disturbed or alarmed, 1t would, in due time, depart of its own accord. All pres ent were accustomed to the stealthy in- truders, asd did not, happily, lose their presence of mind. They very noiselessly bent down so as to take survey beneath the table, when, sure enough, there was ;wining and gliding about the legs of their helpless friend. A movement, a noise, even an agitated tremble might have been fatal.
 Luckily one of the four was acquainted with the milk loving habit of the cobra, and, rising with a quiet and cautious movement from his seat, not daring to hasten, yet dreading delay, he managed to steal from the room, while he signed the rest to remain motionless. Quickly he crept back with saucer of milk in hand, and, still with noiseless movements, set the saucer under the table as close to the terrible reptile as it was safe to ven- ture. The fearful strain on their nerves was happily of not long duration, for presently they were relieved by seeing the creature gradually untwine itself and go to the milk. Never before did that officer leap from his seat as he did then, the moment he felt himself free from the coils of the cobra, and read in the faces of his comrades that he was saved. Short shrift, however, had Mir. Cobra, for sticks and whip-handles were freely administered, even before the saucer was reached. The enemy got rid of, the game was resumed, and it is worth the while of those in India to bear this escape in mind and bring milk to the rescue in case of similar peril.

Mind Reading.
Modern Are.1

In a former issue we gave an account of an interesting experiment in so-cailed mind-reading wherein MT. Irving Bishop figured as the reader The current number of that excellent journal, the Al:esesf and N<Hyolegisf, contains a paper by the late Dr. Beard, which ex- plains the apparent mystery. Mind reading or "muscle-reading," as the doc tor more accurately calls it, has for some time been thoroughly understood by scientists, but to most laymen the process is an unexplained phenomenon. The whole secret rests on the fact that in experiments like the aforementioned one, the operator being either directly or indirectly in physical contact with the subject, found the place to which the subjects mind was directed, by detecting the muscular or body movements of the subject. muscular tension in the direction of the locality thought of, and relaxation when the locality was reached. In other words, the body thinks with the mind, as is shown by numerous examples. If we close our eyes and think of bird flying in the air. our body moves slightly in the same direction as the bird, and, if we stand by rapidly-flowing stream, we tend to 20 with the stream. The pheno- mena of mothers marks. the causation of the cure of disease by mind-action on the body, the success of charlatanism in all forms and in all ages, find their best single explanation in these muscle-read- ing experiments. says the doctor; and another remarkable fact which he vouches for is. that scientific men on the con,i- nent will scarcely admi, it to be true that it is possible to light gas jet with the elec,ricty generated by rubbing ones feet on the carpet. This doubt Is per haps explained by the fact ,ha, the at mospheric conditions in Europe differ from those which surround us, and which can be observed at almost any time in our dry climate is never witnessed on the other side oi the water
