How Kit oarson's Life Was Saved.


During the late war the great Nava-
jo tribe of Indians were ON the war;
path. Nothing new in those days, but
it seemed as though remorse was get
ting the best of those who had control
of the good and much-wronged Indi-
ans. So they ordered the 1st regiment
N. M. volunteers, commanded by the
great scout and Indian fighter, Col. Kit
Carson. to subdue and bring them into
subjusation- Maj. Joe Cummings. who
had organized one of the first compan-
les OF the regiment, and as brave man
as over lived, was one day riding at the
head of the command with old Kit.
when the following incident took
place: Kit was dressed in his old suit
of pepper and salt, while the ma jor
was i'll full regimentals even to epau-
lets. While Kit hated dress and tinsel,
the other lived to dress. They were
now nearing canon and Kits we'll
trained eyes were the first to discover
the smoke of the redskins ascending
from the neighboring mountains, tele-
graphing the approach of the soldiers.
1t was then that the big-hearted old
trapper and patriot turned to his friend
and said: Joe, you had better change
your coat and hat and put on blouse
and slouch hat, for We will soon have
hot work, and the varments will surely
aim for the commander, and as you
have on your regimentals they may
take you for me; at any rate you make
splendid target" the major answer
ed: "Colonei, it is no time now to go
to the rear" They were the last words
ever uttered by the brave Cummings.
Bang! went rifle, and as the smoke
cleared up beside rock the brave ma.
jor fell, mortally wounded, pierced be-
tween the eyes by the unerrlng aim OF a
hidden foe, amid the wild yells of the
savages, hidden from view, who imag-
ined they had killed the greatest scout
that ever ived.-CiacinnGti CONNER

A Smart Peruvian.

1t is said that the Peruvians cannot
fight; that they were vessels of clay be-
fore the mighty Chilians, and the rec
ord of the late war does justify this as
sertion; but the local papers tell of
woman in the northern part of the re-
public who should be organized into a
battalion all alone by herself. The
name of the Peruvian amazon is Fran
cisca Vitlavertie or Greenhouse, when
translated into English. At the age of
Is she chokcd ami beat her father
within all inch of his lie, because he
wouldn't take her 10 bull fight. I'll en-
she cleared out a whole convent where
she was sent to be educated in ethics
and urjanity, las they cell decorDm
here, leaving the mother superior i'll
a condition that will make her per-
manent cripple. Then she whipped
the iefe poiitico, or mayor of the town
where she had the honor to reside, be-
cause he threatened to put her in pris-
on, and the following day cowhided
the editor of the local paper who made
some sarcastic illusions to her belliger-
eut career. The priest of the parish
was called upon to demonstrate with
tine young woman, and taking otfenso
ut his admonition, she blackened both
his eyes and knocked him senseless
with an image of St. Michael which
she tore from the altar. The bishop
thought things had gone far enough,
and announced the accommodation
of the lady from the church. This
rather sobered her, and she and her
friends sought to make peace with the
outraged ccclcsiasticS, who agreed
finally to revoke the penalty of excom-
munication if she would get married
anu have man of her own to beat aud
bully, instead of destroying converts,
disabling padres and despoiling altars-
This she agreed to do. but there wasn't
Il marriageable man in all the country
who would accept the girls hand, al
though her father offered u liberal
dowry. They preferred going into the
army. Finally an old warrior named
Macario Lerio Monteblanco, or Mr..
White Mountain. aged 50. hero OF
three wars and a brigadicr general in
the last, agreed to subjugate the DAM
sci if a dowry of 5000 was turned
over on the wedding day. Her father
was only too glad to accept the propo-
sition, and Miss Greenhouse became
Mrs. White Mountain. After the we'd
ding she pulled the bishops nose and
then went home to make hcr new hus-
band happy. The old gentleman is
said to be an expert in handling the
lasso, and he proposes to tame her as
they do wild horses on the llauos. The
outcome of his efforts have not been
lcarned.-N York San COrrespon.

How An Oyster Builds Its Shell.

In building its shell the oyster starts
with the hinge end, at the spot known
to conchologists as the umbo. A Asmall
plate or single scale now represents
each valve, and that is the first seasons
growth. The next season a new growth
or plate shoots out from underneath
the first one, just as the shingles do.
The oyster men call those laps or plates
number of shoots indicate the Years OF
the oyster. They certainly do contain
a record of the seasons. But there is
often great difficulty in differentiating
these shoots. The record is often OBJ
parasites, which build their shells Or
tubes upou the oyster. | have likened
these shoots TO shingles. Now, at the
gable of the house these shingles may
be seen edgewise. So on the one side
of an oyster shell is series of lines.
This is the edgewise view of the shoots
or season growths. Another factor is
this purple spot, or scar, in the interior
of the shell. 1t is the place of attach
ment of the abductor muscle. It's first
place of attachment was close up to the
hinge. Had it staid there until the
smell had become an adult. how diili-
cult would be tho task of pulling the
valves together, the leverage to be
overcome would be so great; for he
must bear in mind that at the hinge
end the valves are held by this black
ligamcnt, which is in life elastic, swell
ing when tho shell opens and beng
compressed when the animal draws
the valves together. So with every
years growth or elongation of the shell
the mol!usk moves the place of attach
ment of the muscle onward, that is an
advance further from the hinge. As it
does so it covers up with white nacro
all the scars that are back of the one
in actual use as the point of the attach
ment of the muscle. This you can
prove by eating off with nitric acid this
covering. and thus exposing the whole
life series of scars or attachments

Adaptation of the Dietary.

We are thus led to the next import
ant consideration. namely, that al
though broad rules or principles of diet
may be enunciated as applicable to
different classes of people in general,
no accurate adaptation to the individ-
ual is possible without knowledge of
his daily habits aud life, as we'll as to
some extent of his personal peculiari-
ties. No man, for example. can tell
another what he can or ought to eat,
without knowing what are the habits
of life and work-mental and bodily
of the person to be advised. Notwith
standing which, no kind of counsel is
more frequently rendered in common
conversation by one stranger with
another, than that which concerns the
choice of food and drink. The adviser
feels himself warranted. by the expert
ence that some particular combination
of nourishment suits his own stomach,
to infer without hesitation that this
dish will be therefore acceptable to the
stomachs of all his neighbors. Surely
the Intelligence of such a man is us
slender as his audacity and prosump-
ton are large. Only it may be assumed
that there is probably more difference
between stomachs and their needs
among different individuals than among
the inferior extremities referred to for
the purpose of illustration. Thus. in
regard of expenditure of food, how
great is the difference between that of
a man who spends ten or twelve hours
of the day at the work of navy, as
an agricultural laborcr in harvest-timc,-
or in draining or trenching land, rs Il
sawyer. railway porter, or L brick
layers laborer, or let me add that of an
ardent sportsman, as compared with
the expenditure of clerk who is seat
ell at the desk, of individuals engaged
in literary and artistic pursuits, de-
manding q life mostly scdcntary and
spent indoors, with no exercise but
that which such persons Voluntarily
take as homage TO hygicnic duty, and
for short period borrowed ut some
cost from engagements which claim
most of their time ami nearly all their
cnergies!-Sir He"ry Thompson, IN
Iopalar Science Mont AytJr August.
IN recent lecture on "The Smallest
Living thing" it was pointed out that

GUS us to be present everywhere that

further showed from their mode of
digestion that they must be animals,
and not vegetables. In order to illus
trate the necessity for the access of

hibited. made seven years previously.

THE UNION ARMY.
A MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE.

[Originall
Like some stupendous elm tree
The Union army stands;
Its branches wave Ger many grave
The graves that link two lands.
1t spreadeth North, it spreadeth South.
1t sprea1eth East and West;
II hangs DER the lannon's silent mouth,
/ Where a bird might build her nest.
But the old limbs of this monarch
Are dropping day by day;
By battles SCARED, aud by Times scyths
married.
They are falling fas. away.
The boughs that bore us the fruit of peace,
That sheltered us thro' wars night,
From the grand old tree are breaking free
And dying in our sight.
We know there are strong young branches,
All full Of the sap of life,
But each old bough that is dropping row
Grew dear thro' nations strife
We feel new pity, and love and pride
For the loyal boys in blue,
A. the ranks close in and the lines grow thin,
And graves crowd fast on cur view.
Thrice beautiful and sacred

When the warriors true. who yoI til biue,
Are all Of them wearing the gray.
Wearing the gray in their whitened locks,

They follow the ranks ON mystic banks
And 20 marching down TO the dead
Scatter the floral tributes
Over the thickening graves.
On the slIn-kissei air, unstains1 AMI fair.

Low lying in the human heart,
From other memories apart;

Whose fatal lines disclose
Long weary years Of grief and pam
In which the nations mighty gain.
Was wrought thro' mighty woes.

The minor strains of sadness sweep,

From field and meadow, hill and plain,
We bring our %arlands once again

Meath natures beauties rare;
And we rejoice that eyermore
