ton that it produced blindness
The old women and Dr.. Johnsors Of the
Confederacy, who could not exist without
their fixed number Of cups of ten a day,
drowned their happy memosies Of hyson in q
solution of raspberry leaves, or the more
medicinal preparation Of the root of the
sassafSas bush. 1t was q grcwsome time, and
there were those who survived bullet and
blade to surrender at last to indigestion and
acute dyspepsia
The number and character of intoxicating
drinks were many and varied. Corn and rye
whisky abounded, while in some ATTITUDES
pine tags and even potato peel!nGs went
into the impromptu still to come out pure
mountain dew" No internal revenue sys-
tenn aroused the ire Of the nntrammeled dis
til!ers, and alcoholic liquors were cheaper in
proportion than most other commodities;
yet the amount of drunkenness was not what
might have been expected. A favorite small
beer in those sections where the persimmon
trees lourished best was made Of the fruit of
that tree, and was called, in the vernacular
of at least one part of the Confederacy,
"'possum toddy."-A. e. Gordon in The
Century.

Various Sorts Of Ammunition.

There is some talk Of the adoption Of the
quick firing guns, which are aimed from the
shoulder, on board ship and In fortified po-
sitions ashore where machine guns, properly
SO called, would not be availabe But it is
not easy to guess where these positions are to
be found, and must humbly presume again
to call attention to the point which Is to me
more obviously true than any other relating
to arms that the danger in multiplying sorts
of ammunition Is one which ought never for
a moment to be lost sight Of either by the SOL
der, the engineer, or the administrator.
To put weapons carrying all sorts and sizes
Of ammunition int9 q given position Is to
weaken, and not TO Strengthen it; and all peo-
pie who have the welfEre Of their armies at
heart should look, not only to the simpliaca-
ton of arms, but as much as possible to the
uniformity Of ammunition. What is wanted
is a machine which will pump lead such as
the soldiers carry, and rife which will
throw lead such as the machine guns pump.
Then you do something to ease your most
troublesome and delicate organization in the
feld-that Of your transport-the danger OF
complicating and overlooking which it needs
soldier to comprehend. Cor. New
York Times.

What Some Poets Look Like.

observe that paragraphsts, mostly of the
female gender, scarcely ever mention Mr..
Browning's name without an expression of
surprise at his personal appearance. They
wonder to find him clean, we'll dressed, trim,
like an ordinary English gentleman. They
say he looks more like physician than a
poet" What should poet look like Like
Lord Tennyson, who is cross between
Guy Fawkes and the mysterious recluse of a
transporting melodrama; like Lord Hough-
ton, who resembled a jolly old Silenus; like
Lord Lytton Owen Incredibly, who looks
Hebraic and modest and is neither; like
Mortimer Collins, who might have passed
for a handsome head gardener; or U. w.
Holmes, who has touch of tho wizened
groom; or Frederick Locker, an Anticipated
Lord Verisopht; or William Morris, like
Longfenow's blacksmith without his good
temper; or Longfellow himself, of whom
have portrait in his prebarbed days, which
is decidedly commercial in its aspects Many
writers look like physicians; a shorter Thack-
cray, gray, bland and specialized, would have
had immense success with hypochondriac old
women; James Payn is very doctor like;
Wilkie Collins might be q. professor of analy-
teal chemistry. On the other hand, there is
q laissez aller air about certain physicians

FAMILIARITY OF SPEECH.
Another little thing that is intolerable in
some men. otherwise nice enough, and that is
the moment you permit them to know you
at oil well, that moment they develop that
horrible trait of an aptitude for familiar in
timacy of speech which no relation in hfel
under heaven condones, or can long stand
under the pressure of. Why, because two peo-
pie become engaged TO eoch other. or arel
married to each other, they should att
once drop tho little attentions, the little po-
licensees, the little respects for each others
privacy and Municipalities, |, for one, neverl
could comprehend! For my part | should
think that these relations OF life, in order TO
prevent them dcgenerating, as they too often
do, into the mere conventionalities of an ac-
cepted code of society and morals, required
the most gentle Difference to just these little
things that have ventured To enumerate.
The closer the relations the more necessary
the glamour, if you will to call it so, of mere
we'll bredness ut is nothing else) to sustain
them in their supremacy Of a mutual affec-
ton and reverence.
There is another point upon which l must
touch in speaking of what we like in men.
1t is simply, briefly, this-clothes. l know
that some of you will scout at the mere idea,
but that doesn't alter the case, l know and
am in position TO speak. There isn't one
bit of use in denying it; not one particle.
Girls like to see a man, and be seen with one,
too, who is smartly gotten up, whose gar
mentS have the correct cut and air, just as
much as men like to see and be seen with q
young woman who is attired in charming,
well fitting gown, pretty gloves, boots, hat.
1t is human, girl nature, just precisely as it
Is human, man nature.
And as to BEAUTY Trust me, all you ugly
fellows, we don't care thatl about it in your
faces. We are content to Inonopolize that
ourselves If you are only manly and brave
and tender and nice we are prepared to adore
you.-"Miss Marigold" in Pittsburg Bulletin.

Among the Penn,yfvania Dutch.

1t is net generally known, oven by people
who have visited America, that there Is in
Pennsylvania, very near the cities of Phila-
daIphia and Now York, a population Of more
than two million inhabitants which Is in
many respects strangely Ike what its rural
ancestors were in Germany more than two
centuries ago Some years since there were
to be seem in a shop in Philadelphia several
large books Of Lutheran devotion in the type
and spelling of 1910, bound in deeply stamped
white vellum, with heavy brass clasps. They
did not look like limitations Of old boois-
they seemed to be the thing itseif-but the
date was recent "They are for the Penn-
sylvania Dutch" said the bookseller. They
would not believe that the Lord would bear
them II they prayed to him out Of a modern
looking book And those books, as you See
them, have been printed and bound in that
style for nearly two hundred years for the
Pennsylvania Dutch market just as they were
printed for their ancestors during the reform
alton"
There Ia probably no more striking instance
of conservatism to be found anywhere in
Europe than this; but the spirit manifested
by the worthy "DutchmeRn is carried out by
them consistently in everything else. Fol

Characteristic Features Of the Burmese
Temples-Ghastly Humanity.

Temples-Ghastly Humanity.
But however different may be the individ-
ual details of the great Burmese temples,
there are three characteristic features which
are never wanting to any of them, viz bells,
flags and beggars The flags in particular
are quite speciality, for as the commonest
form of Offering in Burmah is piece of sill.
yer paper OF a strip of cobored cloth, every
shrine is a perfect rag fair of futtering
shreds of red, green, blue and white, fastened
to long slender sspings or to the ratings of
the shrine itself. As matter Of course,
these impromptu pennons become dirtier and
dirtier as time goes on, till at length the neu-
tral tint fairly masters the original color.
The bells-which are usually about half
the height of an ordinary man, and bear an
inscription setting forth their weight, the
date OF their casting, and the name of the
person who presented them to the temple
are suspended few feet above the ground,
between two upright posts, along the sides of
the paved platform already described. Be
side each lies q stout club or the horn of an
elk, which, when struck with force upon the
edge OF side of the bell, draws forth volume
OF sound that fully explains the name OF
"Naha Gunga great sweet voice., given to
their largest bell by the people Of Burmah.
This sort Of bell ringing is the fnvariable pre-
tude to the recital Of a prayer by any devout
Burman, and serves-according to Burmese
ideas at least-as kind Of telephone signal
to appf-se tho Mats guardian spirits whom
he addresses that he is going to begin, and
wishes them to pay attention to his words.
Unlike the majority OF devotees, who resent
fiercely the intervention of any unbelieyer
in their worship these orthodox Buddhists
are, as rule, rather pleased than otherwise
should passing European happen to strike
a bell while they are at their prayers, argu-
ing, with some show of reason, that the
greater the noise produced, the more likely
are the spirits to be on the lookout.
As for the beggars, any one who has
walked round the Mosque of Omar at Jeru-
salem or the Shir-Dar at Samarcand, may
multiply his worst experiences by fifty, and
fall short even then of the horrible phan-
tasmagoria of human squalor and human
misery that rises ghostlike amid all the bar
barrie magnifceDce Of a great Burmese
pagoda. The pool Of Bethesda itself never
mustered amid los CHASTITY host of manned,
halt and blind" such loathsome detormities
as those which startle the eye here at every
turn. Dwarfsh, shapeless figures, bent and
twisted out of all semblance OF humanity

frightful sores, upon which the venomous
tropical flies settle down in clouds; lepers in
the last and worst stage Of their awful dis
ease. white. snactral. bideous, whining swits

Perhaps the most earnest, anxious
being at this season of the year is the
ten or twelve year old girl that ia TAX
ing some responsibilities OF a picnic.
We see her daily at depot grssping a
big lunch basket with all the tenacity
of a miser grasping his gold. She is
waiting for the train and keeping In
view one or more youngsters that she
has charge OF. She is working fearful
hard, as can be seen by study Of her
face, but she does not know 1t, 1t Is
to her picnic, and the labor is not
felt. We should be kind to children
and aid them all in our power in their
pleasures, for all are children but
once, and in this fast age childhood is
a short season at best.
