After the Fall of Fort Fisher,

The sides of the embrasure were of
logs and 'planks, and the shells had
SCARED and scanned not only the gun
carriage. but the planks, and torn great
holes in the sand, to be filled up by the
next explosion. In those holes lay some
of those who had served the gun-a
proper grave for an artillerist-one ex-
cavated by the shell of the enemy. Out
of one of these half-filled craters pro-
jected the delicate hand and wrist of
what must have been quite boy, which
was covered with a nice. delicately
knitted glove-not a mitten-fastened
about the wrist by a silken cord and
tassel of light blue. Was it sister, or a
sweetheart. who had knit that glove for
their soldier boy: Whether or no, he
was dead, and probably killed by the
same shell that buried him. OF all the
things saw at Fort Fisher, think most
often of that hand, with its homemade
glove, pointing heavenward.-"E. ST. in

LIFE WITH THE SIOUX INDIANS,
At Fort Yates, Dakota-Fine Specimens
of Manhood-Primitiye Wooing.

At Fort Yates, Dakota-Fine Specimens
OF Manhood-Primitive wooing.
The feature of the Clark Institutes
annual meeting was an address by Judge
Sage on his personal experiences among
the Sioux Indians, at Fort Yates, Dakota
in the summer of 1881. He was there at
the time the formal transfer was made OF
the care of the Indians from the war to
interior department He said that Sit
ting Bull, the great Chief, was not there.
He would not come until he saw how the
Others were treated. One of the chiefs,
Gaul, he said,, had stride like Salvini.
As soon as the transfer was made this
chief and others Immediately appropria-
ted clothing and other articles in sight.
The fort there was simply a space Of
ground inclosed by picket fence, inside
of which were the officers quarters. The
Indians said they could eat up the garri-
son in few minutes if they cared to.
He described the Sioux Indians as fine
specimens of manhood. They had finely
developed chests, small arms and
splendid legs. They were symmetrically
perfect. The dances they had, which he
described, he said developed the muscles.
When these dances were going on the
songs of the men, while beating on he
big drum, called the tom-tom. could be
heard five miles.
One way the young Indians had of
wooing the squaws he described. He
saw three young bucks standing together
one day with their blankets wrapped
about them. They waited until the
young squaws came along, and then one
of them stepped out in front of her, and,
throwing half of his blanket around her,
pulled her up to him. If she did not
try to get away it was considered that
she liked him. If she did he stepped
back and another fellow tried it, and so
on, unless one of them was successful.
The judge had on exhibition lot Of
souvenirs of his trip in the shape of
clothing and ornaments, implements of
war, ETC., which he had purchased or
had been given to him. Among them
was an earring about twelve inches long,
which had been worn by Sitting Bulls
daughter, sleeping Water" She gave
it to Mrs. Sage.
The ornaments were all very hand
some. He related his experience in
visiting Chief Gaul in his tent While
there ne unconsciously stepped on
ground which they considered sacred,
on account of the death of a child. The
only way he could make amends was by
giving the chief presents. Judge Sage
said that he thought that they were mis-
understood and underrated. He thought
that if they were treated fairly and
honestly they would be all right. Among
themselves they were perfectly honest,
and trusted each other implicitly. In
the division of food given them they
were very careful to give all fair share.

Lost In q Great City.

/ recall narrowing incident related to
me twenty years ago by young Ameri-
can who was wandering after nightfall
with male friend in the streets of Lon
don. The hazard of the highway brought
them in contact with one who shall only
thus be designated here: whether man
or woman matters not. 1t was tempta-
ton bearing the human form. 1t lured
them to a house near where the sullen
Thames floats blackly to the all-conceal.

ter this dark abode, the younger followed
in his wake, when to the inexpressible
horror of the latter, he beheld his friend
sink through the steps of spring stair
case, down. down, TO the cave where the
thieves began their work and the mur-
derers finished it, the Thames inky
waters told no tales. The younger man
saw all this, but could not move finger
to save his friend, so quickly was the
black deed done.
One further step and this had been his
doom as well; but the light foot of reso-
lutte youth and the happy accident of an
unlatched door brought him. in dazed
condition, to the street again. Rushing
with maddening speed for the police, he
was Mortified to discover that he could
not lead them to the spot. London is not
a town. 1t is nation. How point out
any special house seen dimly only once?
Street after street was tried, and house
after house, and prim respectability

surprised, and said Good night And
still no clew; not single trace of the

this has one CLEAN of light ever been shed

improvement in the Soda Engine.

An improvement has been made in the
Honigman soda or fireless locomotive, a
specimen of which was tried on the
Adams Street Passenger railway a few
months ago. 1t is a new method of
evaporating the water out of the caustic-
soda solution after it has become too di-
lutte IN he effective in heating. The
method consists in inverting the process.
The soda remains in its own tank, next
the water boiler, into which high pres
sure steam is turned from a stationary
boiler. The raised temperature of the
water is communicated TO the soda,
which is also in communication with the
air. The water in the soda is thus driver
off. until the boiling point Of the soda 50
luton is equal to the temperature of the
steam which is being used used for heat
ing, after which the soda engine is dis
connected from the stationary boiler and

NITRo-elYcERINE IN MEDICINE.

The Explosive Element in Dynamite
The Latter Easily Manufactured.
DO you handle dynamite?' asked the
reporter, as the drug clerk washed the
emptied soda-water glass and collected
his money.
"No,- said the clerk, "but we have
nitro-glycerine, which is the explosive
element of dynamite. Do you want some
of it,"
Yes said the reporter, who was then
led to the prescription case. The clerk
took from a shelf a small bottle filed
with minute sugar-coated pellets and ex-
hibited the label "Nitro-glycerine pills,
Tooth grain"
-Pills!- exclaimed the reporter in some
surprise. What are they for?"
Medicine; that ought to be apparent.
That's the only form in which we touch
the internal stuff, and if you wanted it
for use in the arts or to perpetrate any
deviltry couldn't tell you where to find
il. Dynamite is common enough. You
can obtain it at any general supply house
in Chicago. 1t is known as giant pow
der. Hercules powder blasting clay
and long list of deceptive names. But
you could make nitro-glycerine easily
enough, and dynamite, too, for that mat
ter. OF seven-pound mixture, for in
stance, take ore part of nitric acid and
twoparts of sIlphuric acid. Then slowly
mix in one pound Of pure glycerine, STIR
ring gently. You have pale-yellowish,
oily fluid, which, after a few water
baths, is ritro-glycerine. If you want
dynamite soak this product in sawdust,
porous clay, or some other absorbent
agent, and then you have dynamite,
ready for the quarryman or anarchist"
"What about nitro-glycerine as
drug"
WELL" said the clerk, 1T is classed as
q poison. 1t affects directly the nervous
arterial systems. The smallest dose will
produce an instant flush of the face,
pains in the head, and highly accelerated
pulse. Its active properties vary, and its
results depend largely upon the condi-
ton of the subject. ! have heard of
case in Philadelphia where a man died
almost instantly from a dose estimated
at twenty grains. The autopsy revealed
congestion in every part of the body.
The brain tissue had lost color, the lungs
were engorged with blood, and the heart
was empty. The victims death must
have been one of terrible agony, although
happily the struggle was brief. In these
small doses of one hundredth of grain
nitro-glycerine is frequently prescribed
for a large number of nervous disorders.

its efficacy was discovered by a German

Tree-PIanting Near Russian Railroad


A correspondent Of The Farmers Re-
view says that when riding over thou
sands of miles of Russian railway four
years ago, he was interested in the sys-
TEN of shrub and tree-planting to arrest
snow at all points where banks could
form. The trees are planted twenty-five
to thirty feet from the rails in five to
seven lines, five feet apart and the plants
foot and half apart in the rows. The
three inner lines are planted with trees,
and the outer ones with conifers or
shrubs. This system is said to protect
very perfectly the roads during the gales
