Needed Kicking.

Just before the battle of Antietam five
recruits came down for my company.
There were no bounty jumpers at that stage
of the game, although the courage and
patriotism of all recruits could not be
youched for. One of the batch was named
Danforth, a farmers son, fresh from the
cornfelds, and as we took up the line Of
march to head Lee off and bring him to
bay Danforth said to me:
''See here, sergeant, I've made mis-
take"
"HoWPr
II hain't got no sand. allus thought I
had, but when / came down here and see
what war is, I find l hain't got the spunk
of a rabbit"
That's bad
$50 is is. We're going to have fight
purity soen, and l know what'll happen. I
shall bolt as sure as shooting"
Then you'll be called a coward, and
disgraced forever"
That's SO, and 1 don't want it. want
you to do me great favor"
''Well7'
"Wall, if kin git mad I'll be oil right,
and forgit my shaking. Keep your eye on
me, and as soon as we git within five miles
of the rebels kick me good and Stout
After some further talk promised him.
We were in Hooker's Corps, and as we
moved in against Jackson, Danforth
obliqued alongside and said:
Sergeant, kick me or / shall bolt. I
haven't got sand enough TO see chicken
die
Wewere moving through the timber and
/ stepped up behind him and Gifted him
twice as hard as l could kick. He shot
aside and the next time ] saw him we were
at fence on the edge of corn field. The
fire was hot and the men were falling
thick. | had just fired from a rest on the
top rail when Danforth came up, faced the
other way ahd said:
Mere kicks, sergeant! | know I've
dropped two Of EN-, but my sand is going
kicked him again with good deal of
vigor, and just then We got the order to
advance and he was the first man over the
fence. Half an hour later we were driven
back, considerably disorganized, and as
reached the fence came across Danforth
again. He had rebel captain by the
collar and carrying the officers sword in
his hand. As he saw me he called out:
Sand is all right, sergeant. No more
kicks. As soon as take this chap to the
rear I'm going back and collar old Stone
wall himself or die trying"

One of the most disastrous wrecks to
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad occurred
Friday evening, May 80, two miles west of
its junction with the Santa Fe Railroad
A train of double-decked cars, loaded with
some five thousand fine merino mutton
sheep, on the way from California to the
Chicago market, was wrecked by the
breaking of a truck. Every car but two
was destroyed and about one thousand
sheep killed outright The Indians of the
neighborhood worked all night skinning
carcasses. They will have mutton for
months to come.
The admirers OF birds are now trying
to induce ladies to wear stuffed kittens on
their hats instead of BIRDS which shows
that a person who has intimate relations
with birds cannot be trusted to do justice
to any other animal.

Warping of Wood.

A. lumber Is now sawB, every board but
one viii warp and carl up il the process
Of seasoning. The reason for this i plain
Ii the hoard be savn from the side Of a
log the grain rings of the wood lie in cir
Giles, which have a greater length on ane
than on tho other side of the board
board cut from the very centre Of the log
has grain circles Of equal length upon each
side, and will lie perfectly fat when sea
soned
When selecting the lumber for tool
chest or some other fine job pick out boards
which show that they came, as near as
possible, from the centre of the log 4
method is in use which conpensates for
this tendency to curl in seasoning. This
is known as quarter saving, and quartered
oak, of which SO much is said at present, is
sawn by this process.
1t consists in cutting out boards radically
from the centre to the outside of the log.
Suppose log TO be split into four pieces,
each of these pieces is sawn diagonally so
that the grain rings run through, instead
of the circles running into, part way
through and out upon the same side of
the board
Quarter sawn lumber will not warp in
drying. neither will it yield.so readily to
changes of weather. 1t has the disadvan-
age of being more expensive, as ir saving
each quarter a narrow board is first taken
off then one little wider. The boards in
crease in width until the middle of the
quarter is reached, making the widest
board equal to half the diameter of the
tree. The narrow boards may be glued up
into wide strips, but that shows considera-
BILE sap, and they cannot be used in some
kinds of work
To prove that the circles or sap rings
cause curling during the seasoning process
it is only necessary to take such curled
boards and wet the concave side, or apply
heat to the convex side. If each or both
be done, the boards will straighten out
forthwith. This method is often taken ad-
vantage of by carpenters, in working
twisted or warped boards. The seasoning
process is also controlled by freque ntly
turning boards over so that each side may
receive just enough heat and air to keep
the boards Hood,rorker.

surprised His Wife.

a good story is told of certain well
known farmer residing near Emaus Ps.,
who went to Allentown on Saturday
evening to buy o. suit Of new clothes, but
who, after making the purchase, got jag
on. While going home at night the idea
came into his maudlin brain to surprise his
wife by appearing dressed in fine clothes,
and stopping in the road he undressed and
threw his old suit into an abandoned ore
pit, not knowing that he had Lost the new
one out of his wagon. Unable to find
either suit he was obliged to wander home
arrayed like Zulu, and of course succeed
ed in surprising his wife.

-''I notice one thing" says an opserT-
ant manufacturer, "and that is that hard
wood logs, especially oak, that have been
placed in the water Immediately after cut
ting and allowed to thoroughly soak, make
brighter lumber with less tendency to
sap stain, than that from logs that are left
on the ground for several months. find,
also, that in green logs, if sawed i'm
mediately after cutting, and the lumber is
thoroughly steamed preparatory to placing
it in the dry kiln, the same results viii be
obtained, greatly enhancing the value Of
the lumber for fine finishing purposea
