considerably over his own faneied i'm
portance.
The Flemings were prominent people
in Springfield, and when Herbert's IA
Their learned that his son wished to play
the part of General Greene in the sham
battle he sent word to the teachers of
the academy that Herbert's wish must
be granted or he would no longer pat
ronize the school.
Barry Cartwright had been in an &C.
stacy of delight when he realized that
he was to lead the American army on to
victory. He had fancied himself riding
his fathers horse into battle, and had
imagined that staid old animal trans
formed into a gallant charger, seething
with foam, and prancing to martial mu-
sic! He had fancied himself, with sword
at his side, shouting his commands in
warrior-like fashion. He was a poor
boy. His father had lost an arm while
fighting for his country, and had to
work hard to support and educate his
family. Barry had been obliged to wear
a suit of clothes that had been awkward
ly remodeled from his fathers old uni
form. Herbert Fleming had once ridi-
culed the cut of these garments, and
Barry had been stung by the ridicule. l
am afraid that he had cherished a
grudge against Herbert ever since.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1890-06-28

tors to gaze upon them. There had
been no professions in the town for six
months, and they determined that on
the Fourth of July they would have
one.
AS it is Revolutionary town, Spring
field is all alive whenever the Fourth
of July arrives. 1t hangs a flag from
the spire of church and rings the vii
lage bells. The town folk talk of their
independence" and spend money for
fireworks. On the Fourth" of which
l write it was decided that the day
should have an unusual celebration, and,
20 their delight, the boys in the military
academy were to be the principal actors
in the affair. They were to have
sham battle on the Revolutionary bat
tle-ground, and to beat the English over
again. Half of their number were to
dress as the American soldiers dressed,
one hundred years ago, and half were
to wear such uniforms as were worn by
tAe Hessian yagers of that period.
In the year 1850 the American AMY
at Springfield was commanded by Gen
eral Greene, and the British army by
IicSSldn bcHeFdl HdhGu baron
Knyphausen. 1t was decided that two
boys on horseback should impersonate
these great officers.
o: course all of the boys wanted to 5e
American soldiers, and not one was
willing to put on red coat and call
himself Hessian. 1t became necessary
to call the teachers in to settle this
difficulty, and they wrote the words
American" and british" upon great
many slips of paper, turned them face
downward in a box and invited each
boy to draw one. Every one who drew an
american" ticket went into the Jersey
regiment, and every one who drew a
British ticket joined the Hessians.
Then the teachers decided that Barry
Cartwright and Herbert Fleming should
act as Generals. Both boys could ride,
and they knew more of military
maneuYers than any other boys in the
academy. Each of these two boys was
fourteen years old, and it was astonishing
how much information they had obtained
about artillery, cavalry, infantry, gun
merry, etc. They seemed to know Just
how to attack an enemy, how to rout
him and all about it. Barry had drawn
an "American" ticket and Herbert a
E'British" one; therefore Barry was en-
titled to represent General Greene and
Herbert was expected to impersonate
the Baron Knyphausen. Unfortunately
for the days pleasure, Herbert declined
to act as British General, and declared
that he wanted to command the Ameri-
cans. He said that Barry had only lived
in Springfield for one year and was
therefore not entitled to the highest Of

about him and praised him until he was
overwhelmed by his sudden popularity.
The teachers called him hero and
that confused him all the more. Then
Mr.. Fleming thanked him so fervently
that he scarcely knew the proud man in
his sudden humility.
The battle was never finished. The
Baron Knyphausen couldn't fight, and
there wasn't soldier in Springfield
who would have been willing to stand
up against him, even in play.
Herbert went home with Barry, and
staid with him all the rest of the day.

Barry held out both of his hands and
smiled. "The war is over" he said, ''and
we won't have any more hard feeling. I
think we will like each other better aft
er this"
And peace was declared.-Frances B.

Cold Rolling of Wire.

A new industry which promises to be-
come of vast Importance is the rolling
of cold steel bars into wire. A few years
ago wire manufacturers and metallur-
gists would have said such a thing was
an impossibility; that cold rolling would
destroy the fiber of the steel and render
the wire so brittle as to be of no prac-
teal value. Experience, however, has
proved these prcconceived notions to be
incorrect. The rolling of cold steel wire
is now accomplished with ease, and in.
stead of the wire being weakened by
the process, practical tests have demon
strated that it's tensile strength is nearly
doubled In other words, the tensile
strength of hot-drawn steel wire is
Sc. 400 pounds to the square inch, willis
that of coldrolled steel wire is 105. 500
pounds. Chicago Economist.

A GIGANTIC BOWLDER.
An Evidence of Glacial Action in South
eastern Connecticut.

EASTERN connecticut.
But it is in the region to tho east and
west of the line of the Thames river,
and which it has been suggested may
have been the axis of the ancient gla-
cier, and not very far removed from this
line, that powders of extraordinary size
occur most numerously; and among them
is rock which until very recently has
been regarded as one of the largest, if
not the very largest, bowlder that has
thus far been recognized in this or any
other country. This rock-of coarse
crystalline GRANTEES situated in the
town of Montville, New London County,
about six miles south of Norwich, and
about a mile west of the Montville Sta
ton on the New London & Northern
Railroad; and, under the Indian name
Of 'Sheegan," has almost from the first
settlement Of the country been recog-
nized as great natural curiosity. Its
position is on the edge Of gentle
mound or knoll, on the northeast slope
Of little valley; and Ats dimensions,
according to recent measurements by
Prof. Crosby, of the Boston Society of
Natural History, are as follows; north
west side, forty-six feet; northeast, fifty
eight; southeast, forty-ive; southwest,
seventy. Maximum height. reckoning
from the lower or down-hill side to the
highest point on the upper side, approx
imately, sixty feet; approximate cubic
contents, seventy thousand cubic feet;
approximate weight, about six thou
and tons. The cavity or recess be-
heath the rock, which is said to have
been occupied, at the time of the first
settlement of the country, by Mohegan
Indian from whom the rock undoubted-
ly derived its name) as dwelling place,
is sufficiently capacious to admit Of
being used as a place of shelter for the
sleds and other farm implements of the
farmer proprietor. A rude ladder on
the southern side of the rock affords
facilities for reaching its top and OBJ
tanning a somewhat extensive view of

The fondness of Phillips Brooks, of
Boston, the distinguished rector of Trim
ity church, for little children is well
known. Not very long ago DIR. Brooks
was calling on a friend in Cambridge,
who is the happy mother of three chill
dren-two boys and little girl. DR..
Brooks soon had all three of the little
folk about him and was questioning them
in regard to their views of an occupation
when they should be grown up One
boy would be an architect, he said, and
plan Queen Anne houses; the other
thought he would be poet, like his late
distinguished grandfather. And what
would you wish to be, my dear?" said
the clergyman to the little 4-year-old
daughter of the house. Il think, sir, "
she replied modestly, as she caressed her
doll, ''that l should like to be a mother" :"

Wine Worth Drinking.

Wine worth e4G0,O00 a bottle is a
drink that in expense would rival the
luxurious taste of barbaric splendor when
priceless pearls were thrown into the
wine cup to give rich flavor to its con-
tents; yet in the city of Bremen just such
a costly beverage may be found. In the
wonderful wine cellar under the Hotel
de Vile, in the Rose apartment, there
are twelve cases of holy wine, each case
inscribed with the name of one of the
apostles. This ancient wine was depos-
tied in its present resting place in the
year 1924, 266 years ago. One case of
this wine, consisting of five oxhofs of 204
bottles, cost 500 rix dollars in 1924 In
Guiding the expense of keeping up the
cellar, interest on the original outlay and
interest upon interests, one of those OK
hofs would today cost 800, ,657 ,64O rix
dollars; three single bottles, 2,213,812
rix dollars; glass, or the eighth part of
bottle, is worth $40, ,476 rix dollars, or
about e54, ,476; or at the rate of $40 rix
dollars, or e55, per drop.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

CCsToM is a violent and treacherous
schoolmistress. She, by little and little,
slyly and unperceived, slips in the foot
of her authority; but having by this
gentle and humble beginning, with the
benefit of time, fixed and established it,
she then unmaslls a furious and tyran-
mic countenance, against which we have
no more the courage or the power so
much as to lift our eyes.
