opened suddenly with two or tarse batteries

the tents, and with their exaggerated idea
Of the destructiveness of such missiles the
men thought they ought to leave the local

manding general ordered that not tent be
struck and not a man leave camp. The
boys thought this a species OF brutal reck

the propriety Of disobeying orlers and run

But in an hour they had lost their fear

balls struck that they might dig them up as

idea Of the comparative harmleSsness Of

prepared TO agree with the general when hs
explained that he had kept them in their

The Commercial TraNeIrr.

The commercial traveller is always with
with Us, more than ever. in full force. and
this time is here without any design upon
our purses. For the time he is an uncoml-
mercial commercial traveller, and is here for
rest recreation and social enjoyment. And
he is welcome at all times, but surely SO
and abundantly 50, now when he is at his
best. arrayed in his finest clothes, with "A
full supply of the very latest yarns. with

and genuine fun.
For the commercial traveller is a good and
hale fellow, always well met, it being re-
quired of him that he must have prime so
cial qualities and be capable of winning the
sOurest and grimmeSt of customers, in or
der that he may work into their dormant al
fectiOns and sell them not only the goods
they want and must have. but also the goods
they do not want and are determined they
will not have. That is business, from the
commercial travellers standpoint. and e>-
pecially ~ from the standpoint of His EN-
plOyer.
But the commercial traveller must be
bright and keen. as well as jovial and So

and a capacity for promptly making the

we see that the commercial traveller is no

Bismarck's Marrow Escape.

An illustration how great ISSUES may
depend upon insignificant incidents is fur
nished by passage in the career Of Prince
Bismarck. About the wear 1850 the regent
of the duchy of Anheit- Bernbourg re
quested the Prussian government to name
several men from whom one might be
chosen for high state office in the duchy.
The request was complied with, and
among the names was that of otto Won
Bismarck Zu SChOnhausen.
Bismarck and another were ordered u
present themselves ON Il certain day before
the regent for demonstration of their tit
ness for the position to be filled Both
travelled accordingly 10 the center of the
duchy, but as ill luck or luck would have
it, the axle of the carriage in which Bis
marck journeyed broke on the way, and
he was compelled to stay night with the
rest Of the Passengers at the nearest town.
Next day he resumed his journey, but
he arrived twenty-fOur hours after the
time appointed for the interview In the
mean time his rival mad the post So Bir-
marck returned home, and in time became

MCCULLOUGH AND GUS WILLIAMS.
How the Tragedisn Played a joke Upon

Mccullough wa good comrads and
bon vivant He liked, above all things, a
practical joke A couple of years ago he
struck up q great frieu hip with President
Arthur and his 4st at Washington and was
the life Of the table at all the diplomatic

Mccullough. who had suffered from sew
eral practical 'kes played on him by the
Dutch comedian. determined to take him
down and nip his reputation in the bud. He
took John I. Raymond. Jun Collier. and
the political coterie Of Washingto into his
confidence and the game was perfected.
The president gave little dinner party,
and, among others, Gus Williams was in

was celebrated at the White House as a
very funny fellow and he was expected to
keep the table in a roar. He said nothiny :,
but secretly laid him elf out 70 do it He
reported at the dinner table with a choice
budget Of original witici ms, which he wa
sure could not fail to make a great effect
when he got q chance to fire them "ff.
The dinner passed very merrily, but
whenever William attempted to get Off a
joke he was sure 20 be interrupted by either
McCull ugh or Raymond before the point
Of the joke could be brought out At last,
however, there was a lulI. and he couldn't
be stavei OFF any longer. He began a story

story was a good one, but they all preserved
their equsnimlty and listened without a
smile When the climax came ami the

after a painful pause.
That's all of the story" replied Will
Jams. sadly.
The tragedian gave him a pitying look,
and, exchanging glancss with the other
actors, changed the subject
Later the wit took heart again and tried
on a new story, but the result was the same.
and Williams noticed that the whole party
cast looks of pity and astoni<hment at him
He grew secretly mad an despsrate at this,
and triel frequently, but still in vain, TO
make point Not laugh did hs get that
night
Attsrwsrd, on the way home, Mccullough
talked with the wit in a fatherly way.
You made a terrific exhibition Of your
self tonight, my boy" said he. You need
rest, and you'll take it If you are wise
Your brain is going. There's too much
strain on it, inventing jokes for years for

having come here, with little nominal
work. just sufficient 10 keep him out of
mischief. but with the real purpose to have
good time.
By the way, We may as we'll say Of the
commercial traveller that he is not simply a
philosopher but an illustration of the latest
phases and discoveries of philosophy. He
Is ali evolutiouist, Or rather an evOlVer. II
he is naturally titted for his profession hr

ing a larger and larger number ot acquain-
tanceS, who a they become attached 10 him
and accustomed TO buy from him, get into
the way of going to New York. or some
other large centerS, Ia buy for themselves.
In time, therefore, he evolves to such sn
enormous extent that he is required Ia re
main at the house" Ia receive these
customers there and to sell
them at headquarters. So he becomes a
partner. and afterward. if his qualities de-

Not all. however, are 80 fortunate. But
in all is seen a pushing forward 10 excel
lence and success and struggle and hight
for the mastery. No man is forced Ia work
his own way 10 greater extent than the
commercial traveller and no man has
Stouter or more lively and vigilant com
petit0rS And when he comes To the top
he is a splendid illustration of ''the
survival of the fittest''-Of the fighter who
has fit the tierceSt, and gained a we'll
earned victory.
There is much slurring of commercial
travellers in newSpaperS-mOSt of which
is undeserved. There is, occasionally, a
black animal in the flock of white sheep.
The commercial traveller must be man of
real character, 10 be able 10 catch and TO
hold the very intelligent, worthy and sub
Stantial class of men with whom he deals
the merchants and tradesmen of the land.
He must have personal qualities which
command respect. He must be well in

lie attends church. and he and his asSo-
ciates will advance in force on Christ

We must bear in mind, in connection with
all this, that the commercial travellers life
is one of privation. He is homeless, or if
h. has home cannot live in it. He is
almost always away from those he loves
most, and is always longing-or ought to
and generally iS-tO be with them. And
he looks forward to time when he can
settle down with wife and children and
enjoy a well-earned and weIl-deServed home
life
Let Springfield people. therefore, give
the commercial travellers now with us, and
those coming in. a warm. hearty welcome,
and do what they can to promote their hap
pineSs while they are here. They are
worthy of the most cOnsiderate and ample
attention and effort.

Organs of smell iu Insects.

In an extensive series of experiments by
Professor Graber, insects and many other
invertebrates perceived odors much more
quickly and acutely than the vertebrates
tested birds and reptiles.) The antenne
proved to be not the only organs of smell
in insects, although these seem to be es-
sential to the perception Of some fine
odOrs. In some cases the palpi of the
mouth organs are more sensitive than the
antennR, but perception of smell through
the stigmata or respiratory organs is not
rapid nor important. - Arkansaw TRAY

quent in the aged, but when it was present
il was sometimes very intractable. PathO-
logists thought it was due TO anRmia and
mulnutrition The thickened arterial
walls and the high arteridl tension from
the contracted kidneys, and similar states,
which were found in the aged, would indi-
cate that the blood supply to the brain was
deficient. The insomnia produced by
anRmia was characterized by drOwsiness
during the daytime, the patient falling
into little maps, while at night he was un-
able TO obtain any rest. This was true of
the young as well as the old II in any case
we found no actual disease, it was Gus
tomary to try iron and rich diet In the
speakers experience, however, iron did
not relieve anRmia of the aged SO as TO
produce sleep. Alcohol with the food was
another remedy, and many recommended
hot cruel or hot milk with alcohol before
going TO bed. While alcohol would relieve
some cases, there We're others il which the
insomnia was increased
The bromides and chloral, even when
given i'll enormous doses, often failed to
give relief. Opium was another remedy
DR.. II. c. Wood had recommended that
we rhake our aged people opium eaters and
alcohol drinkers. The speaker had not
found that opium always agreed with the
aged, and in his experience, where opium
had produced sleep, it was sometimes fol
lowed by such physical and mental depres
sion as precluded its further use.
He had been disappointed in bromide
and chloral, and considered the results ot
opium sometimes disastrous He recon
mended good food warm drinks at night
and small doses of codeia with cannabis
