Another Nan Who Was with CQster.

A neatly dressed, cleanly.shaved soldier
In the uniform OF an artilleryman Of the
department OF the East, recently called at
the wat department to SEQ Gen. Sheridan.
A reporter who was present was attracted
by his comely appearance and the cordial
reception granted him, and upon inquiry Of
him learned that he was the sole survivor OF
Gen. Clusters command. He was bugler Of
the guard, and was with Gen. Custer ut the
time he discovered the Sioux village at the
Little Big Horn just prior TO the massacre
His name is Martini, and he is an Italian
and but thirty-three years OF age. In an
swer to inquiries Mr.. Martini said:

the Indian village short distance away.
He dismounted and elancing over the sit.

wrote few lines on the leaf. Tearing the
leaf out, he handed it to me and ordered
me to take 1t to Maj. Reno and Capt. Ben.
teen. This was an order for them to hur.
~ up with their command. He saw from
the size Of the village that the engagement
would be a severe one. and he there
foro told me not to attempt to reach
him again until afternoon. That order
saved my life, for when returned after
the fight 265 men out of the 266

dead upon the ground. I was the 266th.

into their midst and WAS not detected,
and in that way made his escape.

The Knights of Labor at their late

The Knights of Labor at their late
meeting at Richmond put themselves
upon record ON the question OF the so.
cial equality of the races. In a pre-.
amble and resolutions adopted, they
declare that their organization "rec.
ognizes the civil and political equality

Great Chicago Strike Ended.

The strike OF the Chicago packing house
workmen is formally ended. The strikers
held q mass meeting on the 18th, at which
between IL, 600 and Ii, 900 men were pres
ent. A proposition to return to work on
the ten.hour plan was carried almost unani-
mously, and the strike was declared ut an
end. Shortly afterwarl Mr.. Barry, the
Knight OF Labor delegate waited on Mr..
Armour and said the strike was ut an end
and that tho men would return to work
without making any conditions. Tho pack
ing-house owners will keep all Of their new
men, and by running the houses up to their
full capacity expect to be able to retain in
their employ nearly all their old men.
Two members of the executive board OF
District Assembly 81 said there would be
no trouble about the non-union men. II
they were put to work in the houses with
the union men it would not be long before
they would quit of their own accord, as
things would be made pretty hot for them.
Some time after the strike had been de.
clarcd at an end the announcement was
made that the packers had adopted a
winter schedule OF wages, to go into effect
Immediately. This is equivalent to a tenn
porary advance OF 10 per cent. The scale
ordinarily does not take effect until the
middle of November.

he.

II am still very sorry have troub-

he said.
II do. with all my heart" she said,
earnestly.
THANK you" said Sam, as he start
ed out, picking his old hat from the
floor, where he had placed it on enter
ing.
''Come back" said Aunt Deborah,
ave something more to say to you"
With q startled look he turned into
the room. Aunt Deborah went to q
cabinet and unlocked 1T. She first
took out a pair of new shoes, then
half-a.dozen pairs OF socks, some un-
derclothing, two nice shirts, a neat
WOODEN suit, and lastly q good felt
hat.
"Sam," said she to the astonished
lad, II have taken your money, not
because wanted it, but because I
wished to test you. l wished to sec
whether you really meant to pay me!
That Flipper boy would never have
done it, l am sure Yon haved done so

heart, and grow up g true and an
honest man. Tell your mother that
I say she had fine son." +,
In making this speech, Aunt Debo-
rah's features relaxed into g. pleasant
smile, and Sam. smiled, too, and was
so pleased that he could hardly utter
his thanks. :
"And mind you," continued she,
suddenly, changing the current of his
thoughts, "don't associate with that
Flipper boy!"
"Please, ma am," said SAM, feeling
a twinge of conscience that his former
companion should bear SO much of
the blame, "you have been very kind
to me, but Bill Philper didn't know
the stone would turn, as 1t did, aQd
break YOUR window" :;
'Then why did he run away" in
quired Aunt Deborah, somewhat fierce
ly. "It's quite proper that you should
try and excuse him, Sam; but l
should like to teach him q good les
son."
"You-you-have taught me good
lesson" said Sam, with a blushing
face; land I-I-thank you very much
for it."
Aunt Deborah smiled benignly again,
and warmly bidding Sam. to come and
see her, she let him out at the door. She
felt very happy as Sam. disappeared
down the street, and he was very hap
ply as he hurried home with his great
bundle. and told his mother all about
it, which made that good woman very
happy, too. So they were very happy
all around. And 1t all came about
because Sam. had stood up like a
brave boy to confess his wrong, which
is always manly. and had offered rep
aration for it, which is always right,
and had gone forward, in spite of the
taunts of his companions, denying
himself the pleasures and comforts in
order to do that which he knew to be
right, which is always heroic.

AtoIrtn the nelgnC OF child 10 about
three'tenths of the adult stature.
The head of a child one year old is
nearly one-iourth of the whole height;
that of the adult is about two-thir-
teenths, or, in other words, the ono
year.old is four heads high and the
adult six and half heads high. Dur
ing the first year of life there is an
average gain Of about eight inches,
say from twenty or twenty-one inches
at birth to twenty-eight or twenty-nine
at one year. During the second year
the gain is about four inches, and
then tho child is nearly half his adult

the annual growth rarely exceeds two

The latest wonder OF tho ''far west

while at work thereon. received sever.
shocks. The electric fluid entered
them in such quantity as to cause a
feeling like the pricking Of needles.
Their hair stood up like bristles, their
muscles twitched, and, not having a
contract to serve as lightning rods fo1
that peak, they gathered up their in.
struments hurriedly and beat a hasty
retreat down the mountain.

Drinks

Their Effects, and Also That OF Alcoholic
Drinks.
1t has been said that there never has been
n clear case of sunstroke in q harvest field
where there was neither ice water, alcoholic
nor fermented drinks. Contractors on rail-
roads, pipe lines and earthwoEkS are almost
unanimous in the opinion that ice water
and whisky are as much to blame for the
prostFation oT laborers as the sun, If not
more.
The history of sunstrobe show that COM
paratiPely few cases occur which may
not be connected directly or indirectly
with the drinking habit. The exceptions
are generally chargeable 10 indigestion.
When you. come 70 thiuk of il there is
something singular about it.
Ice water to keep the temperature down.
Shmulants 10 keep the temperature mp.
Between the two poor nature is robbed OF
her strength, and her efforts to resist the
effects of the heat neutraliZed
Natures plan for cooling the body is by
the evaporation OF moisture from the sur
face therefore the proper way to assist her
is to supply the moisture. This can best
be accomplished by using the means she
has provided-that is, drink freely of water
no colder than that which comes from
natures own fountains. The warmer it is
the sooner does it find its way to the sur
face, and the process of evaporation begun.
1t may not be generally known that
water. taken into the stomach passes di-
rectly into the circulation. The surplus is
thrown off through the pores OF the skin
and other emunctories.
No other food passes through the mem
branes of the stomach as readily as ptre
water. Alcohol is the most difficult of all
nlpnl-Dl la-
correspondingly slow in being absorbed
Therefore alcohol mot only has adeleteFi-
Gus effect on account of its stimulating
qualities, but prevents even pure water
from being absorbed and reducing the'tein-
perature,
Before water can be absorbed it must be-
come heated to 909 Fahrenheit; therefore
the colder the water the longer it will be
before its cooling effects will be felt. Not
only this, but the colder the water the
greater amount of,vital energy necessary
to heat it up to the absorption point.
There is no more erroneous idea. extant
than that cold water reduces the tempera-
ture of the body. 1t may reduce the tenn
perature of the stomach temporarily, but
nature hastens to heat it up by sending to
this organ an extra supply of blood. When
this supply is too great TO be controlled, OF
when the nerves are benumbed from'the
cold, the membranes of the stomach be-
come congested, which is the first step
toward stonatitis, cholera morbus- and
other dangerous disorders.
These are the facts which enter into the
problem of how to keep cool. To solve j.
they must each be given due consideration
1t may appear like very silly thing TO re-
sort to hot water when you want to cool
off quickly, but it is ia accordance with
the facts. and works to charm, as ha:
been demonstrated very often. The other;
