Rabbits in Il Brush Heap-Hundreds OF
Snakes, Big and Little.
"When Rosecrans moved from Nash
vile against Bragg at Murfreesboro he
had constructed fort at Stewards creek
between Nashville and La Vergne. The
trees were cut down in front and the
Notifications were extended, so that in
case of retreat a stand could be made at
that point. At late date the fort was
abandoned, and a year or more after the
battle OF Stone River our brigade went
into camp on the site of the old fortifica-
ton, which was now covered with heavy
long grass.
"The brush from the fallen trees had
been thrown loosely together in an im-
mense heap co ering say quarter of
an acre. As the brigade was preparing
to bivouac scores of rabbits started up
from the tall grass and ran into this big
brush heap. Before the lines were fairly
formed some one set fire to the brush,
and in a few minutes one-half the
brigade was gathered round the heap
armed with ramrods, swords, bayonets,
and clubs, ready to knock down and cap
ture the rabbits that were running out of

and were easily killed, but>the fire had
made little progress when there were
other developments more astounding.
Hundreds of snakes, big and little, ran out
in panicky way, caring no more for the
men than if they had been SO many
logs.
"While the smaller snakes ran between
the legs of the boys, the larger ones
either ran over the men or scared them
out of the way. One or two big racers
created positive panic. In the midst of
the uproar, which was now terrific,
queer-looking animal made a dash
toward me. The man standing at my
side threw a club at it, and killed it at a
blow. 1t proved to be one of the largest
red foxes that any of us had ever seen.
One the other side and at the same tine
a wildcat made a dash at the line, and
broke through, but was ultimately cap
tured. This was the battle of Stewards

Capitalization of Fruits in France.

The last volume of the reports from the
consuls of the United States as to their
respective districts contains several arti-
cles on the crystaization of fruits as
practiced in France. In the opinion of
our consuls stationed in France, this in
dustry could be introduced into the
United States to good advantage. They
state that very large quantities of crys-
talized fruit are exported from southern
France to almost every country in the
world. Among the fruits preserved are
oranges, pineapples, apricots, peaches.
plums, cherries, prunes, pears, figs and
melons. The crystalizipg process is in
principle simple and nearly uniform foI
all kinds of fruit, but requires a certain
degree of skill, which can only be OBJ.
tanned by experience,
The essential thing to be done is to ex,
tract the Jul, of the fruit and replace it
in the pulp with liquid sugar, which,
upon hardening, not only preserves the
fruit from decay and fermentation, but
retains it in its original form and consist
ency. The fruit to be preserved should
be free from blemishes and of the correct
degree of ripeness. Fruit long picked
and transported considerable distance is
unfit for preserving by this process
The pits of stone fruit are removed,
and those that have thick skins, like
pears and peaches, are pared, quartered,
and soaked in cold salt water for several

1t Is the Specialist Who Succeeds-Beut
of a Boys Talents.
President Richie, in taking leave of the
high school boys the other day, gave
them the keynote to success in life when
he bade them, first, to be true, genuine
men, and, secondly, to acquire some
special skill or craft.
1t is the specialist, the man who can do
some one thing, however small, though
it be only to make bread or button-hooks
better than anybody else, who nowadays
is secure of his living. And it is tho
man who sticks to his own trade, who
initiates and courts nobody, who lives
simply and sincerely out from his own
conscience, convictions and taste who is
secure of his social position.
John Burroughs studied birds, and
birds only. He knows them as nobody
else ever has done, and when he tells us
of their habits, their vices, their oddities
and the meaning of their song, all the
world stands still to listen.

AT last success comes. He has not only
earned enormous wealth for his family,
but he has given to mankind one of the
most useful appliances of life.
1t is useless to dwell on this point The
most careless lad beginning life now, in

learns that it will never do to scatter his
shot Only the specialist, and the thor
ough, able specialist, has a chance in the
professions, sciences or trades. Parents
are beginning to find that the natural
bent of boys talents or skill must be
discovered, and his whole training be di-
rected to stregthen and develop it if sue
cess is to be a sured to him.
Teachers, unfortunately, have not yet
discovered this fact. Or, more proba-
bly,, they find it impossible to detect any
decided bent or talent in the great ma

The christening dress of the frst-born
of the young Princess di Galatro Colouna
formerly Miss Eva Mackayl is perhaps
the most unique specimen extant of the
finest point dAlencon lace of great
beauty and rarity. The dress, made as
loose slip, is bordered with antique lace
of a quarter of a yard in width, the re-
mainder of the garment being woven to
correspond, and having the arms of the
Colonna family designed in lace upon
the corsage. The Princess Anna Murat
declared that the dress surpassed in
beauty the famous christening robe of
the late prince imperial.
The lace is the most superb that has
been seen in Paris for years. Even the
wedding founces of the queen regent of
Spain can not be compared to it. Mrs.
Macl1ay, the mother Of the princess, has
a collection of lace that surpasses any of
the royal houses of Europe-so it is said,
at any rate. She possesses the cele-
brated tunic and hounces in point
d'Alencon manufactured for the Empress
Eugene in 1863, This lace was copied
from piece originally in possession of

To Make Up for Infant srortarity.

The turbot lays 14OO0.OO0 eggs, well
knowing that 1899, $50 will be eaten up
III the state Of spawn or devoured bv
enemies in helpless infancy, or drifted
out to sea and hopelassly lost, or other
wise somehow unacoounted for. The
fewer the casualties 10 which a race
r. exposed the smaller the number
# eggs or young which it needs to pro-
duce in order to cover the necessary
losses.
In fish generally it takes at least 1OO.-
900 eggs each year TO keep up the aver
age of the species. IN frogs and other
amphibians, few hundred are amply
sufficient Reptiles often lay only
much smaller number. In birds. which
hatch their own eggs and feed their
young, from ten 20 two eggs per anuum
are quite sufficient to replenish the earth.
Among mammals, three or four at
birth is a rare number, and many Of the
larger sorts produce one calf or foal at a
time only.
In the human race at large, total of
five or six children for each married
couple during a whole lifetime makes up
sufficiently for infant mortality and all
other sources Of loss, though among
utter savages a far higher rate is usually
necessary. Even making allowances for
necessary deaths and cclibacy, however,

needless infant mortality is done away

rhe carp.s TenaoItr Of Lie.

Certainly, the tenacity of life shown
by pond animals is very remarkable.
Our own English carp bury themselves
deeply in the mud in winter, and there
remain in a dormant condition many
months entirely without food. During
this long alternating period they can be
preserved alive for considerable time
out of water, especially if their gills are,
from time to time, slightly moistened.
They may then be sent to any address by
parcels post, packed in wet moss, with
out serious damage to their constitutions
though, according to DR.. Gunther, these
dissipated products of civilization pre-
fer to have piece of bread stepped in
brandy put into their mouths to sustain
them beforehand
In Holland, where the carp are not SO
sophisticated, they are often kept the
whole winter through, hung up in net
to keep them fl ON freezing. At first
they require to be slightly wet from time
to time, just to acclimatize them gradu.
ally to so dry an existence; but after a
while they adapt themselves cheerful"
to their altered circumstances, and feed
on an occasional frugal meal of bread
and milk with christian resignation
