THE Author of ''Nancy Lee."

These is q man living quietly in Lon
don who is one of the most successful
writer's Of verse set to music that Is in
England to day, yet he is not very widely
known by name. 1t is Frederick E.
Weatherly, and he is the author of
"Nancy Lee," song that has been
sung in every quarter of the globe, and
has brought to the author an amount Of
fame and money that makes him practi-
cally independent. The song was writ
ten at Odordin an hour. Weatherly
had made an appointment for pupil
whom he was coaching for the animal
commencement. The pupil failed to
keep his appointment, and, while wait
ing for him, the piece came suddenly to
his mind, and it was written then and
there. One of the strange things about
the song was, that it was in the heyday
of its popularity, about the time OF the
Princess Alice disaster. 1t was being
sung on deck Just before the vessel
went down. That fact was printed in
all the English newspapers, and the song
suffered temporary check in its popu-
larity, but thousands of copies Of it are
now sold, not only in Great Britain, but
through rAustralia, Canada. and in fact
wherever the English language is
spoken. Mr.. Weatherly is the author Of
scores of other songs that are not SO well
known. He has been writing songs
ever since he was an undergraduate,
twenty-five years ago.

Primitive Telegraphy.

Olaf Searle sat in his Office yesterday
discussing many interesting topics in
his usual interesting way. A card was
lying on his desk, on which appeared
the word "Budstikken" as the name of a
Scandinavian newspaper. Mr.. Searle
was asked what the word meant. He
replied: "It is Norwegian word, 1,200
years old at least. In those days, when
the coasts of Norway we're ravaged by
pirates, the inhabitants had to resort to
all sorts of devices to warn those at a
distance of the approach of these pratt
cal craft. When one was seen on the
horizon man went up to the top of a
mountain, where he lighted beacon
fire. This could be seen for long dis
tance, and was known to be warning.
When it was seen in the distance an
other fire was lighted on another hill,
until all over the country fires blazed
from every hilltop and the people pre-
pared to defend themselves.

TOULOUSE and Embden geese are very
large, hardy and rapid growers, and do
not require much water.
THIRTY-FoUR hundred marketable
chicks is what two farmers have raised
the past season. We venture to say they
pay them Q larger profit than any pro-
duct they raise.
CORN that is fresh yet dry is excellent
food for growing poultry. Better give
them q good feed of il alone at night; il
heats them and keeps them warm these
cool nights.
GUNEAs are good burglar or chicken
thief alarmers. A pair il kept in the
poultry house will never allow danger
to lurk about, their voice can be heard
for considerable distance.
ONE half the meat supply may be OBJ
tanned from the poultry yards. There
is no need of the farmer keeping beef
cattle if he keeps poultry, o change oc-
casionally of course is appetizing.
WYANDoTTEs make excellent market
fowls. White Wyandottes are being
sought after for this purpose, they look
so tempting when ready for the table
and the upper price is obtained for
them.
If your poultry house is built with
double walls you are pretty sure of pro-
lection to the fowls against the coldes,
weather. They will be laying all winter
while your neighbor has very few eggs.
Providing they are supplied with proper
food

WHAT A REAL BATTLE IS.
Little Opportunity for Display OF
Heroics or Poetic Glory.

A battle does not consist, as many
imagine, in grand advance of the vic
torious lines of attack, sweeping
everything before them, or the helter-
skelter fight Of the unfortunate defeat
ed. The historian must so present it in
his descriptions, the artist in his paint
ings. Even the writer of al official ac-
count must limit himself to the presen-
tation of such moments as demand
special treatment, or to such episodes as
involve important and instructive tactical
movements.
ALI those events which are less strik-
ing, which pass more quietly, but which,
nevertheless, contribute to the final re-
suit, cannot be reproduced without too
much expansion. Those incidents
which no account of the battle, official
or unofficial, take any note of-the
thousand and one events observed only
by the participants, the innumerable
cases in which the direction and control
of affairs glide out of the hands of the
officers-these are the little drops of
water that make the mighty ocean of
battle and determine victory or defeat.
The opening of the day of great bat
tie is generally very prcsaic. After an
uncomfortable night passed in wet or
cold bivouac, where the men, wrapped
in their overcoats, have teen gathered
shivering about the camp fire, trying in
vain to get warm; after the simplest of
breakfasts, of which the draught of poor
cold water was the only palatable con-
stituent, the soldier goes forth to battle.
There he may never see the enemy; in
de2d, unusually long halts, stlnding
still under shrapnel fire, or apparently
useless camping in mud and under
small arm fire await him. The feeling
of being exposed to the invisible mis-
siles of the enemy, mingled with the un-
certainty as to what is going on to the
right and left, often produces in the
best of troops great depression and q
consequent falling off in offensive
strength, even when the battle in general
is making splendid progress. In such
it is only question of grit and sense of
duty.
Sheridan tells us: "Indeed, the bat
tie OF Chickanauga was something like
that of Stone River, victory resting witt
the side that had the grit to deer long
est its REIMBURSEMENT of the field.
Still more pressing is the appeal to the
morale of the troops when an unfortu
nate termination OF the battle forces al
army which has done its duty to retire
Exhausted to its last gasp, its resistance
pushed to the highest pitch, gives way
and with frighttul reaction the resist,es'
mass plunges to the rear. This is to
day no longer an organized retreat from
position to position, as our predeces
sols taught and practised, but an un
controllable current, like the mountain
torrent, which, fraught with havoc ant
disaster, overAows its banks. Woe tt
the land that can oppose no other dam
to this stream than strategy, tactics, ant
the instruction OF the troops. Thes'
will be washed away like sand heaps b.
the roaring waters.

count all his exploits, aud by this time
the whole band was wild with frenzy.
These two were the great ceremonial
da- ces Of all the wild tribes. The Sioux
aad the Navajoes had q dance which
was called the "green-corn dance" So
called from the fact that it was in honor
Of the ripening OF the ears of corn. In
this both men and women participated.
This dance had o counterpart among
the Seminoles, but their rites ended in
the widest orgies.
1t was in the social dances tina. the
indians Of all tribes took graf st de-
light. The social side of the Indian has
BEEN so little written about that TO the
popular mind he is only known as q taci-
turn individual who never laughs nor
has any amusement. This is wonder
full, from the fact that the Indian race
takes more enjoyment in pleasure than
any other portion of the human family,
aud the social dance has such attrac-
tions that men and women will ride
many miles to participate in them.
Probably the most curious, and at the
same time most unusual, of all dances
was the begging dance. Itrequired two
tribes who had been at war and had be-
come friendly in order to consummate
the dance. The dance is surprise
upon one of the tribes. All of the war
riors of one tribe rush suddenly into the
camp of the other, yelling and firing
guns, with every semblance of q furious
attack. The assaulted Indians recog-
nize the nature of the infiction and
form circle in the centre of the camp.
At sigral the attacking party lays
aside its arms and performs series of
dances, during the progress of which the
dancers spring from the circle, and each
seizes warrior from the other tribe,
which he hugs with every evidence of
affection. Each Indian receiving such
embrace is required by Indian custom
to take a present to the one who en-
braces him, and, as he is expected to be
liberal, a begging dance is generally
looked upon as being as grave calamity
as a hostile raid
These dances mentioned are common
to all tribes. In addition each tribe has
numerous social dances, and in COOP
seasons, when everything went well with
the Indians, at least five nights every
week were spent in this pleasure.-[San
Funcisco Examiner.

WHITE merino underclothing, when
past wearing, makes excellent wash

makes better holders for either ironing

covers for iron holders of white drill
ing in the form of bag, then they can
be slipped off and washed when soiled.
