1.-THE END.

And Can Freely Say That He Never Got
Used to 1t.
st. Louis Globe-Democratl
Colonel James M Thompson gave his
opinion as follows: "The quality of cour-
age in battle regard as being to large e1-
tent physical attribute. have heard a
good deal of talk about the nonchalance
of men in action and their ease and COM
posure after the first gun was fired, but
I never took much stock in it. I went
through the war in the army, and
it was nv fortune to be in a por-
tion of the service in Virginia where
there was good deal of hard fighting
to do, and there wasn't any credit
able way to get out of it, either. I saw
service in % battles and can freely say
that for one never got used to it. never
went into fight without an all-prevailing
sense Of danger, and was always glad when
it was over. Of course moral courage, high
patriotism and the military spirit kept the
great majority of men right up to the mark,
but there were notable instances of men
whose physical natures simply failed to re-
spond when called on. They could not
possibly go into fight A clear head and
a full conception of the enormous conse-
quences of cowardice to themselves failed to
spur them to the staying point. and on the
first whiz of bullet their signals Of distress
were visible to all in sight.
"A well-known New York colonel, per-
feet gentleman, a scholar, patriot and
really noble fellow, was so weak in point of
courage and his humiliation so great at
really being afraid to face danger that he
was forced to retire from the army, went to
Washington, pined away and died in few
weeks. I knew another prominent officer
whose friends, out OF consideration for his
well-known failing, used to manage. on one
pretext or another, to keep him out Of en-
gagements and thus shield him from ex-
posure. Men like that are to be pitied, not
bla ned. They want to fight, but their
bodies actually refuse to obey their will.'

THE GOLDEN APPLE.
A Beautiful Fruit That Can be Put to Many
Different Uses.

ABeautiful Fruit That Can be Put to Many
Different Uses.
Harper's Bazar.1
The ounce, which is not generally re-
garded as fruit of very precious or elegant
character, is nevertheless one possessing
more uses than most of the fruits of its
family. In cookery it is exceedingly
piquant when simply baked In an oven and
sprinkled with sugar; it makes delicious
preserve, fine marmalade, and a jelly OF
great delieacy, highly valued in throat
troubles. Its cores and seeds have been
found to be agreeable eating even after long
drying, and they are full of mucilaginous
substance, which, owing to its demulcent
nature, is valuable in bronchial troubles
and coughs. which diluted is used in various
eye washes, and which islargely compound
ed in what is called bandoline, lately as
popular dressing tor the hair as the per-
fumed pomades were once. Meanwhile
the beauty afforded us by the
ounce is especially remarkable; in
spring the bush of the fruit-producing kind
an exquisite pale pink and a most delicate
perfume, and the bush of the species whose
fruit is not used bearing blossoms of a
flaming scarlet, which gives 1t great value
as an ornamental shrub; while in autumn
the great spheres of downy gold seem fairly
to steam with spicy fragrance of indie
scribable richness.
The ounce is Southern growth, found
wild in Africa and Asia, and it is celebrated
throughout Oriental literature. No list of
delectable fruits is complete without it
there and its aroma fills the pages of the
Arabian Nights, while in classic affairs it
has as many advocates as the orange in
claiming to be the Golden Apple of the
Hesperides.

Champagne Bottles.

OtnerWfse fue tins VIII EBcnDo from
Champagne Bottles.
''I bought some champagne of you last
spring." said a gentleman to wine dealer
the other day. 81 supposed it was all gone;
but last week saw some bottles in the top
of closet and took them down. They were
champagne. My wife had saved them,
woman fashion. But they were as fiat as
Rhine wine. What was the matter?"
''They were standing up, were they?"
eyes"
"Well, the carbonic acid had all escaped
through the corks. If they had been in
cool place and resting on their heads they
would have been all right.
at takes two years for the champagne
wine to properly champagnize. There is
heavy loss from breakage. When the gas
develops, a champagne cellar sounds like
battle. The bottles explode with tremend-
GUS force and are dangerous. Over 20 per
cent of the bottles break. That is one
reason why champagne is so high priced.
Bottled cider will champagnize if raisins
are put in it. Some years ago put up
barrel of cider for the White House. The
steward insisted on putting whole raisin
in each bottle, told him quarter of O
raisiu to a bottle was enough; but he had
his own way. The result was that he didn't
have bottle. Every bottle exploded from
the pressure"

how they failed. No suspicion rests on me,
and could safely let him be hanged, but
must not do it. The revelation which this
letter makes will save him from the gallows,
and he may emerge from State prison. where
1 suppose his crime of robbery will send
him, reformed man. As for me, am con-
vinced that my act was murder in the first
degree, according to the law of the State;
but as firmly believe that at the tribunal
where shall go to be judged it will bring
me reward instead of punishment. Yours
respectfully. PHELIM O'RoURKE.
"Under such circumstances, Your Honor"
said Mr.. Nannery, ST ask for stay of pro-
ceedings in the case of my client"
''Your motion is granted, the Judge re-
piled; "but there is another matter equally
pressing. Phelim O'Rourke must be ar
rested"
"If he is alive" the lawyer interposed.
But he was dead. Suicide had imme-
diately followed the dispatch of the confess
sion.
The dream of Micky Begg was so nearly
realized, in the better times after these
tragic occurrences, that he could not quite
rid himself OF the belief that he had really
scared with witch. Dolf Begg went to
prison for term of years instead of being
hanged. Donnell and his mother were not
less bereaved by the loss of their father and
husband than were Nora and her father.
The shadow of crime was over them all, and,
although they were themselves blameless,
they wished to live elsewhere than in the
city of the dreadful scenes through which
they had passed. So Donnell and Nora,
rendered fonder by their joint sorrows, were
soon married. With their parents they re-
moved to Western town, where the name
of Donnell O'Rourke is already that of
promising lawyer. and where, in happy
home, the sight of Nora as the contented
wife of a good husband can be had without
any witch's help.

bed. She held Nora tight in her arms.
Poor Oonah had been CRYING, for her eyes
were red from weeping, while on Nora's long
lashes tears sparkled radiantly, on each
point like diamonds in a coronet. They
were sleeping the sleep of innocence and
peace. Nora stirred for q moment, and
sneezed as if the roof1ess cabin chilled her.
"God bless us" said Micky as was his
habit, when he heard anyone sneeze.
Bangl whirl whiz! the root went down
and Micky felt himself whirling in space.
With thump he fell to the ground. He
had dreamed as he lay asleep on a rock.

enough to see, by the position of the moon
that it was about midnight.
