Not "Stuck Up."

Among the officers in the Northern
army of the Civil War no one was gruffer,
braver or more beloved by his men than
General Stannard, who commanded a
Vermont Brigade. He was always en-
ragged by any attempt of the men whom
he commanded to steal, or ''forage," as
as they called it, on private property.
A private named Hicks, on the march
to Gettysburg, remarked, chuckling, to
a companion, that there was ''nothing
stuck up about old Stannard. He was
not ashamed to converse sociably with a
prlvate!"
''Has he been talking to you? What
did he say?"
"Told me if didn't get out of them
cherry trees, he'd kill me-"
Another instance of Stannard's keen
watchfulness is given by one of his SOL
diers On the march to Frederick, the
General knew that an attack was to be
made on the regiment in few minutes
The men were furnishing with thirst, and
coming to we'll wished to stop and fill
their canteens. Stannard set a guard
over it and forbade them to break ranks.
A certain Lieutenant Brown, who had
a wounded comrade, disobeyed the order,
and going to the we'll, at the risk of his
life, brought his friend some water
General Stannard put him under arrest
and TOOK his sword from him.
When the regiment reached Gettys-
burg, Brown forseeing fierce conflict,
asked the General to suffer him to carry
his sword for the day, to be returned at
night. 1t had, however, been sent with
the baggage to the rear. Brown pro-
cured Il tomahawk and carried it into
the battle, and did such good service
that General Stannard at night. though
badly wounded, sent for him, gave him
MS own sword. ald told him he richly
deserved 10 carry it.-lo~th'S Co,npG!s,

The Cost of Feeding a Boy.

It is worth something to know what it
costs to feed a boy fairly well. During
the Investigations made by the .Rscord OF
the operations of the Squeers Syndicate
Orphan Schools it was shown that, TAX
inc their own somewhat doubtful figures,
the cost was about four cents meal.
But the syndicate orphans were not well
fed.
DR.. McKinnon, the Superintendent OF
the NIimico Industrial School i'll Canada,
has furnished the Toronto Mail with an
interesting statement on the subject.
There are 1OS boys in the school, who are
kept in good bodily health, and whose
subsistence is bought in wholesale way
that would somewhat cheaper the cost as
compared with ordinary household eX-
penditure. The boys have all they
wish to eat, and the superintendent's &C.
counts, not being complicated by ex-
penses for sustencnce for other persons,
furnish valuable data not otherwise read
ilv obtainable. The following statement
shows the average weekly expenditure

A Great Misfortune.

Heavy rains Of ten produce disease among
farm animals. Almost every day cases OF
roup, swelled head and distemper very dis
astrous among poultry are reported. A part
of this is also due to improper feeding. You
cannot make hen lay when everything you
give her is being transformed into fat, and
laying the foundation Of disease, same as with
an overfed child or person. Alfred T. john
son, Hampton, N. H., says: LAST fall had
so fine looking hens, which began to droop
and die; Ichanged their food and began US

were nearly well, and had increased the eggs

Their Hair Turns Green.

There is a curious effect wrought on
the hair and beard of men engaged in
the Martin White mine at Ward, Neb.
The ore is roasted, but no disagreeable
perfume arises from the heating process,
vet there is some unknown substance
that changes the hair, beard and eye
brows as green as grass. The hair is not
injured, but retains its softness and gloss.
It is probable that fumes OF the green
tint of cooper contained in the ore
change the Lair TO that color.

The cost Of food, as above glfea, does
not include the expense of preparing it,
or incidental expenditure for superintend-

is astonishingly small. So far as subsist-

more costly than to raise a pig. If a

Consumption of Rice.

Rice is, no doubt, the most extern
sively used article of food the world
over. Hundreds of millions of people
chiefly subsist on it, and its consumption
is constantly increasing. 1t is the
principle diet of at least one third of the
human race, forming the chief food of
the native populations of India, China,
Japan, Madagascar, many parts of
Africa, and, in fact, of almost all East
ern nations. The Burmese and Siamese
are the greatest consumers of it. A
Malay laborer gets through fifty-six
pounds monthly; Burmese or Siamese
forty-six pounds in the same period.
The Eastern nations also chiefly obtain
their beverages from rice, which is the
principal grain distilled in Siam,
Japan and China. Saki, or rice
beer, is produced in Japan to the extent
of 150,000,000 gallons annually. Al
though rice is such universal article of
food, it is not SO nourishing as wheat or
some other grains. More than nine.
tenths of its substance consists of starch
and water; consequently it forms more
fat than muscle.

Bandit Frank James.

A thin visaged man, with clear gray
eyes that peer steadily from beneath
the broad brim of Write felt hat, n
slender form clad in quiet suit of black,
with Prince Albert coat buttoned
tightly across his breast, man who
rarely speaks, but signals to the pool
auctioncer, or throws his money down
to the bookmaker with monosyllabic
direction as to its disposition, was n
regular attendant upon the quarter
stretch at the race track during the late
races, yet he was recognized by only q
very few as the one time redoubtable
bandit and train robber, Frank James,
the last OF gang which held the banks
and express companies of the entire
West IN state of terrorism for twenty
years. Frank James always had weak
ness for horsehesh. In the very heydey
OF his desperate crimes he would risk
his life to come out of the bush and at
tend horse race. When he was in
hiding near Nashville, Tenn, after the
Gallatin robbery, he owed several race
horses which he sent to the st. Louis
races at Cote Brilliante track, under an
assumed name, of course. He is now a
clerk in Dallas (Texas) shoe store, but
as a matter of fact he does little else but
follow the races. His Judgment is good,
end he came from Memphis, Nashville,
Louisville and Latonia considerably
ahead of the horses.-[St. Louis Star

June the Railway Wedding Month

June is the month when the Erie
Railroad does great wedding trip bust
ness, and it is rare thing that one of
the express trains with their sumptuous
Pullman cars attached make start for
Niagara Falls in June that at least one
couple is not ON board. The writer,
while going West night or two ago by
the Erie, saw a couple who appeared to
be lost in the pleasure of each other s
company, and remembering it was June,
the idea of a bride and groom suggested
itself. When the conductor came
through he proved to be an old acquaint-
ance and the writer said to him: "Jim,
is that honeymoon over there2" Jim
laughed and replied: "Oh, that's moth
ing. Ihave them up with me every night,
and expect to all summer" "Niagara
Falls, Jim2" "Oh, sure, they ali go
there. L never saw such road for
wedding parties" Then he went on to
say that he supposed they liked the
Erie because it ran through country
full of mountains, rivers and streams,
and that added to the romance; besides,
the Erie road and Niagara Falls have so
long been associated with each other
that travellers regarded them as one in
stitution.- New York Sun.

CANADA THREATENS.
Sir John Mcdonald Thinks the Sit.
uation Very Critical

The Cabinet at Ottawa is in daily session
one of the most important measures under
consideration being the proposal to rctaliate
against the United States authorities by
Withdrawing the bonding privilege in the for.
wnrding OF goods from one United States
port TO another United States port through
Canada. This has been brought about by the
action of the authorities ut Washington
fusing to allow the transmission of goods
from one Canadian port to another Canadian
port in bond through Maine by the new short
line railway. Officials are busily engaged as
certaining the probable result of such legis.
lation. The abrogation of the bonding priv.
ilege would seriously affect traffic over the
Canada Southern, the Canadian Pacific and
the Canadian canals. Four hundred and
thirty-seven thousand tons of United States
freight passed through the Wcand and st.
Lawrence Cnnalsin bond last year, or twenty
six per cent. of the total traffic going through
