Extracted from History.

Gen. Howe once started TO lead
5000 British soldiers up a hill called
Bunker's. They got about halfway
up, when they all stopped, and the
General turned to reprove them by
saying: Gentlemen, England expects
every man to come up to the rack J"
He would have said this had he not
found an impeachment in his stomach in
the shape of two-ounce ball of lead.
On further examination he discovered
that each one of the 1900 was similarly
affected. 1t appeared to he epidemic
and chronic. They were not wasted by
disease, but seemed TO have lost inter
est in the proceedings. No one even
made a motion to adjourn. 1t subse-
quently got OUT that they were all
dead.
Capt. James Wadsworth once sat
down in Hartford, Connecticut, to con-
fer with Sir Edmund Andres. an am
bassador from King James. Shortly
after he discovered that Sir Edmund
was not only an ambassador from a
king, but that he also held four of
them, while he had no less than two
himself, which produced feeling OF
misplaced confidence in that particular
diplomatic circle; whereupon the Cap
tain turned down the gas and made
way with the cold deck and hid it in a
tree, which was ever after known as
Charter Oak, and furnished wood for
all snuff boxes and gold-headed canes
presented to Governors from 1856 to
1876, when the racket was called in by
the Government and laid on the shelf
with the wooden spoons carved out of
the Mayfower.
A pleasing little incident is related of
Horace Greeley which not only shows
his love for his fellow men but his
great b illiancy at reply and self-pos-
session during a trying ordeal in which
scores of editors fail every day.
His shoemaker once came to him as
he sat in the Tribune office and said:
Mr.. Greeley, have been your shoe
maker for forty years.
We'll, yes, that's about the size of
it."
"Now, 1 want your advice. / have
presented my bill over six hundred
times. l have given up getting any
thing out of it. l fear that / cannot
live to take it all on subscription, even
if you continue to follow your present
course of sending me the daily, tri-
weekly, weekly, and almanac. My
family needs money and something
must be done; therefore l ask your adj
vice"
Horace slowly reached for copy of
what L Know of Farming" bound
in paper, while light as of inspiration
lit up his eye, softened by faint touch
of sadness and compassion in his chin
whiskers, and said, his voice trembling
with emotion: $50 West, young man,
go West and grow up with the country 7"

Origin or the Word Texas.

In recent article published in the
North american ReUiew, Gov. Ire
land, of Texas, asserts that the word
Texas means welcome" and that on
the landing of the first white man on
the coast of Texas the Indians greeted
them with the exclamation of Texas, I"
or welcome" This theory, according
to correspondent in the Texas TOr-
lCderts, is not correct. In the ancient
Spanish archives, stored away in the
Land Office at Austin, it appears that
certain lands were situated en- Ell pals
de los TEXAS, or in the country of
Texas or TEXAS Indians, and j being
pronounced alike. IL is we'll known
that the Texas or TEXAS Indians were a
tribe of Indians living in the valley of
the Rio Grande, who were extermi-
mated or driven Off by a more savage
tribe. The word Texas or TEXAS is the
root of the names of all the Indian
tribes in Texas and Mex eco. The prefix
indicated the locality of the tribe.
The As-Tejas, or Astecs, dwelt on the
high lands of the Anahuac. The Toll
TEXAS, or Toltecs, lived as far south as
Yucatan. The HuasTejas lived on the
Gulf coast, between Matamoras and
Vera Cruz, and the Teal-Teias were
situated in the State of Coahuila.

Over MANY n League

Spreads the miasma, or poisonous yGpor, that
begets malarial and typhus fever. Wherever
there is stagnant water in which vegetation,
or refuse OF any kind decays, there, as surely
as the sun rises, are generated the seeds of
fever and ague, dumb ague, and other endemic
maladies of the malarisl type For the effects
Of this envenomed mir, Hostctter's Stomach
Bitters furnishes an antidote, and prevents
both the contraction and recurrence OF such
maladies. Even along the line OF excavation
for the Lesseps Panama Canal, where ma
laral diseases are not only virulent but deadly,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters has demonstrated
it's Incompatible protective qualities. Not only
for febrile complaints, but also for disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels, for rheumatism
and inactivity OF the kidneys and bladder, it is
very effective. IL counteracts the effects Of
fatigue damp, and exposure.

Moisture i'm Bread.

In the opinion of Messrs. Wanklyn
and Cooper, English food analysts, the
proportion of moisture contained in
bread offered for sale should he a mat
ter of Government regulation. When
well made, bread should contain about
"a per cent. of water. but in practice
the proportion very often reaches and
even exceeds 40 per cent, the bakers
thus making sixty pounds of bread
solids do duty for sixty-six pounds. 1t
is remarked that bread which is too
moist is prone to grow moldy, and
some years ago serious outbreak of
disease in the French army was traced
to the poisonous character of quantity
of over-moist bread. This suggests
the question whether there are not
many deaths which might be traced to
similar poisoning, and leads to the
recommendation of suitable Legislative
restrictions when practicable.

When Man Is Weakest.

According to the recent experiment
of DIR. Buch with the dynamometer, a
man is precisely at his weakest when
he turns out of bed. Our muscular
force is greatly increased 10y breakfast,
but it attains it's highest point after the
midday meal. 1t then sinks for few
hours, rises again toward evening. but
steadily declines from night to morn
ing. The two chief foes OF muscular
force, according to Dr. Buch, are over
work and idleness. Sweating at work
deteriorates the muscles. We know
that many of the great workers of the
world, though not all, have been early
risers. But early rising, according TO
Buch's doctrine, ought always to be
by early breakfasting.

A lannon's Moose Hunter.

Mr.. Moore is one of the most cele-
brated moose hunters in Maine. He is
sixty-eight years old. He is thin and
poor, with gray hair and beard, and
walks as though he had carried many
O burden. He is, however, as active
to-day as he was thirty years ago, and
as much at home in the woods as ever.
His days of steady hunting are over
now, for his boys have grown up and
have scattered, and his good wife
doesn't want him to be alone in the
woods or tending the traps. He has
been at it sixty years. He began when
he wss seven. His father used to take
him out along the line of the traps and
let him tend them. II any big "critter"
had been trapped he used TO run back
and find his father. Think of your
seven year-old baby alone in the for
ests. where bears and wild cats are half
as thick as the spruce trees. When
one of the big traps was found sprung
he had to find his father, and often it
was no easy matter for the little fellow
t. find his way back home again. Per-
baps you think this is easy9 Try it

They Smoke 10 the Khediye.

The Khedive of Egypt has country
palace at Helwan, fifteen miles from
Cairo. There are celebrated sulphur
springs at Helwan, and all the tourists
who flock to the land of the Pharaohs
during the winter months spend short
while at these springs. His Highness
was taking walk alone near the pal
ace, and was closely followed by two
very determined-looking ladies. The
royal parsonage seemed annoyed at the
intrusion, and suddenly turned, seem
ingly to escape them, in an opposite
direction. The ladies, however, were
not to be thwarted, and striding up TO
the Khedive with Fifth avenue swing,
one of them said:
Aren't you the Khedive?"
His Highness politely replied, 81
am"
The ladies said, I'VE thought so.
And then, with smile, I'VE are from
New York"
The very innocent sovereign said,
az thought so" and, bowing, walked
away.

What George w. Childs Is Said to
Spend.

Take our good friend George w.
Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger,
for instance. He not only lives in
gorgeous style in Philadelphia and has
magnificent estate at Wooton, but
maintains charming residence atLong
Branch, and now contemplates, see,
the erection of fundamentally superb
mansion in Newport. There are very
few noblemen who spend the money
annually that Mr. Childs spends. They
can't afford it. Already a very, very
rich man, with an income from his pa
per of over $1,000 a day, Mr.. Childs
finds it very easy matter 10 spend in
the course of the summer $3.50, 900, and
yet he keeps no yacht.-HolCdrd, IN
