A War Story.

Henry J. Savage, one of the Soldiers
Home veterans, tells the following thrill
ing war story: The oft-mooted question
''Was ever a desperately wounded soldier
shot dead, at his own earnest solicitation
by contradict" his answer in the atiirma
tive by your humble servant. It happened
as follows: The writer, member of 6
company, First Delaware infantry, wal
then attached to the Third brigade web
er's), Third division (French's), Second
corps (Sumner's). After wading Antie.
tam creek, plunging through plowed fields
stubblefelds and cornfelds, his regiment
was finally located within plain view Of
the enemy, when the welcome command
rang along the line to ''load and fire al
will" 1t was then that our daily target
practice at Fortress Monroe came into ex.
cellent use, as many poor chap OF
the Sixth Alabama learned to his cost.
After firing eleven rounds the writer
was wounded and ordered to the
rear. While retreating in good order,
but making most excellent time,
his route led him through portion OF
the Irish brigade. Here he saw sight
that capped the climax of horror. A
member of that devoted brigade was
aimlessly stumbling around with both
eyes shot out, begging some one, "for the
love of Cod" to put an end to his misery
A lieutenant of the Fourth New York
was passing by, and, seeing the pool
fellows condition and hearing his
appeal, he halted before him and asked
| il he really meant what he said.
"Oh, yes, comrade," was the reply,
'I cannot possibly live and my agony
is uncomfortable"
Without another word the officer drew
his pistol, placed it to the victims right
ear, turned away his head, and pulled
the trigger. A half-wheel, a convulsivC
gasp, and one more unfortunate had
passed over to the silent majority.
''It was better thus" said the lieuten
ant, replacing his pistol and turning
toward the writer, 'for the poor fellow
could"
Just then a solid shot took the lieu
tenants head off, and the "subsequen
proceedings interested him no ore."-

The Man without a Face.

There is to be seen at Landrecies, in
the Department of the North, an invalid
artillery soldier, who was wounded in
the late Franco-German war, when he
was horribly mutilated by the bursting
of Prussian shell. The mans face was
literally blown off, including both eyes,
there being left behind some scanty
remnants of the osseous and muscular
systems. The skull, which is we'll COW
cred with hair, was left intact, so that
the man had a most hideous and ghastly
appearance. This Disagreement has
been completely concealed by mask,
which was made for him under the
direction of the principal medical Off
Ger of al de Grace, in Paris, whittier he
had been transferred from the iield am
bulance The mask was constructed by
a surgeon-dentist named Delalain. 1t in
cluded false palate and complete set
of false teeth; and it is so perfect that
the functions of respiration and masti-
cation, which were necessarily and i'm
perfectly performed, are almost com
pletely restored to their normal condition,
and the voice, which was rather husky,
has resumed its natural tone. The man
speaks ulSIluClly, inc SeHSe VI SLuell,
which had entirely disappeared, has re-
turned, and he can even play the flute.
He wears two false eyes, simply to fill
up the cavities of the orbits, for the
ports representing the eyes in the mask
are closed. In fact, the mask is so well
adapted to what remains of the real
face, as to be considered one of the
finest specimens of the prothetic art that
could be devised.
The man himself, whose name il
Moreau, and who is in perfect health. il
looked upon as a living curiosity, and
travellers go good deal out of the way
to see him. His face or rather his mask
is, of course, without any expression, bu
his special senses, particularly that o.
touch, are extremely developed. H,
wears the military Cross of Honor, anG
delights to talk about what he has gon,
through during the war. To add to hi
meagre pension, he sells a small pamphle
containing a full description of hi
wounds, and of the apparatus that ha
been so skillfully devised as to rende
him at least presentable to his felloy
creatures. - London Globe

Girls in Japan from nine to fifteen,
wear their hair interlaced with red Grape,
describing a half circle round the head,
the forehead being left free with a curl
at each side. From fifteen to thirty, the
hair is dressed very high on the forehead,
and put up at She back in the shape Of
fan or butterfly, with interlacings Of
silver cord and decoration of colored
balls. Beyond thirty, woman twists
her hair round a shell pin placed hori-
zontally at the back of her head. Widows
also designate themselves, and whether
or not they desire to marry again.
In Shakespeare's plays ninety deaths
take place either on the stage or imme-
diately behind. The modes Of death are
various Cold steel, the dagger or sword,

twelve persons die from old age OF decay,
seven are beheaded, five die by poison,
including the elder Hamlet, whose symp.
toms are so minutely described by the
ghost, two of suffocations, unless, in

strangling, one from a fall, one is
drowned, three die by snake bite, and
one, Horner, the armorer, is thumped to

There is a Javanese butterfly which al
most exactly initiates, in its color and
appearance, the leaves of the trees among
which it lives. The upper surface OF
the wings, when outspread, of rich
orange blue, is very marked, but the
lower side consists of some shade of ash
or brown or ocher, such as are found
among dead and decaying leaves. When
the insect is at rest on tree it resemble
a leaf so closely that the most acute oh
servation fails to note the difference. L

back to back, concealing the antenna
and head, which are drawn up beneatl

touch the branch and form perfec

outline of the wings gives exactly tn
perspective effect of the outline of
shriveled leaf.
1t was formerly customary for the cor

The custom was not restrained or cor
fined to the younger branches of the col
gregation, but it was practised alike b
young and old; and it is on record th'

often so loud and so powerful as to oblig

Shocking Customs in British Guiana

The native Indians of British Guiana
have number of superstltions. and some
times their conduct is more savage than
beasts. When a man is TO be killed his
enemy follows his path for days and even
weeks, until a favorable opportunity oc.
ours Of shooting him in the back He
then drags the corpse aside and buries it
in a shallow grave. On the third night
he goes TO the grave and presses pointed
stick through the corpse. If on drawing
the stick out he finds blood upon the end
of it he tastes it, so as to avoid any evil
effects that may occur from the murder.
If woman or child is to be murdered
its death is compassed in a much more
horrible manner. The miserable creature
is thrown down to the ground, and, hel
mouth being forced open, the fangs of q
yenomous serpent are driven through hei
tongue. Before the poor wretch car
reach home the tongue becomes soinhamec
and swollen that she can not tell the au-
thor Of her misery, and death is wished
for,Eelief.

WISE WORDS.


BY others faults wise men correct their
own.
The secret of living is to say everything
that can be said on the subject.
Popularity is not infallibility. Errors
exist only while they are popular.
It is more difficult to dissimulate the
sentiments we have, than to simulate
those we have not.
We ought not to Judge of mems merits
by their qualifications, but by the use
they make of them.
In all the affairs Of life the lifting
power of the lever depends upon where
the fulcrum is placed.
Conscience is the great ally Of reason !;
the two are what give to man the dignity
and importance which he possesses.
There is nothing so true that the damps
of error have not warped it; nothing 50
false that sparkle of truth is not in it.
The more faith, the more humility ;the
more hope, the more cheerfulness; and
the more charity, the more divinity we
possess.
Sincerity is an openness of heart; tit
found in very few people, and tha'
which we see commonly is not it, but 9
subtle dissimulation to gain the conf
dence of others.
knowledge, economy and labor are the
shining virtues of civilized man. TheI
form the most enduring basis of society
and the surest source of national and in
dividual welfare.
We are all adventurers each sailing
out on a voyage of discovery, guideC
each by private chart, of which there
is no duplicate. The world is all gates
all opportunities strings of tension wait
ing to be struck.
Whatever study tends neither directl!
OF indirectly to make us better men ant
citizens is at best but a specious and in
genious sort of idleness; and the knowl
edge we acquire by it only a creditabl
kind of ignorance, nothing more.

The watcher in Church.

His neck is fitted on a globe socket
that turns clear around. He sees every
thing that goes on. The man that comes
in late does not escape him and it is vain
for the tenor to think he got that little
note to the alto conveyed between the
leaves of the hymn-book unobserved.
The watcher saw it. He sees the whole
in the quarter that Elder Skinner
dropped on the plate. He sees that
Deacon Slowboy has but one cuff. If
the door swings he looks around if the
window moves noiselessly he looks up.
He sees the stranger in his neighbors
pew, and he sees Brother Badman, sit
ting away back under the gallery, fur
lively take a chew of the inhibited fine
cut. All things that nobody wants him
to see the watcher sees. He sees so much
that he has no time to listen. -Burdette.
