Lost Their Grip ON Themselves.

"There were great many men in the
army who suffered years of humiliation
through losing grip on themselves for
single instant. I remember that on one
occasion one of the most reckless men in
our company, after fighting like q sala-
mander for an hour, lost his head After
twenty minutes spent in the very fury of
charge and counter-charge the man on his
right dropped without word, the man on
his left fell across his front, and the
branch of tree cut off by a cannon-ball
dropped at his feet. He turned in a blind,
dazed way, lost control of his nerves and
darted rearward like frightened deer
Scores of others went with him, and the
men who turned and retreated more
slowly saw with surprise these men spring
up each other with shrek and jump one
after another into a depression in the
rocky ground.
"The cellar-like depression was not more
than four or five feet deep, and it afforded
adequate protection against the storm of
shot and shell, but after one man jumped
in all these frightened men followed like
80 many sheep, and they continued to dc
this until the hole was full, men packed
in one on top of the other. The men who
retreated slowly, making the best fight
they could, escaped. The panic-stricken
men who jumped into the hole lay there
helplessly after our line passed, and were
taken prisoners without show of resist
ance. After months of WEAKNESS and suf-
fering they came back to the regiment,
and have heard my friend of the reckless
mood say hundred times that one min
ute of panic-stricken foolishness so injured
his self-respect that he was afraid he
would never be man again.-Inter Ocean

The largest sauerkraut factory in New
York is situated in Forsyth street. 1t is a
dingy, dull-looking btlilding on the out
side, but on mornings when the Long ISL
and cabbage arrives, it springs into sud
den and seething life. The huge farm
wagons dash up in front of the buildings,
and the canvass covers are whipped off
them in an instant. At the same time the
three big front windows of the factory fly
open, and the teamsters and their helpers
begin throwing the cabbage to two men,
who stand in each window. They are the
cabbage inspectors, and if head looks I'M
sound they toss it btsck to the wagon,
while if it is all right they pitch it to the
women dressers, who; with swift move
ment of a curved knife lop off the outer
leaves and dress it fer the cutter. The
cutter is run by five horsepower engine,
and requires four feeders to keep it busy.
1t cuts $50 tons of cabbage day. When
it is cut and properly prepared the cab
bage is passed to the watts. They are three
in number, and sixteen feet in diameter by
eight feet high
When the cut cabbage has covered the
bottom of the vat to the depth of three
feet it is covered with certain quantity

ful Germans wearing high rubber boots,
which are never used! for any other pur-
pdse, enter the vat and begin the task of
stamping down the cabbage. Cabbage
possesses is per cent of water, and as the
fine ibers are pushed down this begins to
assert itself, and the brine begins to form
and rise above the solid mass. When the
vat is filled the contents are held down by
q cover on which heavy weights are
placed. Fermentation in making sauer
kraut is about the same as in making
wine, only the process is slower. 1t takes
about six or seven weeks to mature.
