BROWNS Pixies AND KALEs.

''They tell some funny tales about him
down in Georgia. When he was war Gov
ernor he equipped regiment with pikes-a
kind of bayonet on a pole six or eight feet
long-and seemed to think the men we'll
armed. He, too, you see, Mr.. Mast, had
sort of ancient Roman idea Of what war was.
1t is also related that when his soldiers had
to eyacuate Atlanta be issued an order that
they pull up the kales "a kind OF cabbage)
growing in his truck garden and transplant
them at some point where the Yankee
soldiers could not get them. Some OF these
pixies are still preserved in Georgia, and
whenever they are brought out to be carried
in professions of Confederates they are
decorated with kales stuck upon their
points.
So much for the character of the man.
Now for the description: He has rather
high, square forehead, with little hair on
the top of his head, but long locks hanging
down at the sides and back, curling under
at the ends. Got that?"
Eyes; 60 ahead
well, he has strong lines across his
forehead and deep ones up and down
between his ewes, prominent brows thinly
covered with long, bristling hairs, shading
his eyes, which are deeply set and have
severe expression. His nose is short, but its
strong bridge and distended nostrils drawn
up as by cyuicism give sternness to the face.
The cheeks are sunken, and the lines from
the nose to the corners of the mouth are
deep. The upper lip is long, and the mouth,
which falls at the corners, is raised some
what near the middle, indicating extraordi-
nary freedom from sentimentalism. The
beard, which is shaven back from the cheeks
and Immediately below the mouth, covers
very broad chin and square jaw"

Military Sagacity.

Napoleon armed his soldiers with muskets
carrying two-ounce ball, and it was half a
century before the weight was reduced to
one ounce. Ten years ago it was concluded
that little bullet would kill as we'll as
big one, and now it takes 40 bullets to
weigh pound. Warfare is getting to be
almost sensible in its details.

tion of the ball in its flight, to
a higher degree than is now
possible, and thus to make the
task of catching the ball more
difficult, or, if caught, to hold
it. Kinst said, when asked to
explain the mystery: "When
a ball is struck with that part
OF the bat comprised between
the points 0 and l the ball will
receive, in addition to the
flight produced by the bow, a
rotary motion more or less vio-
lent in proportion, as it hap

of course, be in the same direc-
ton as if the ball had been
rolled on the face of the bat

New York SUM-
Mems furnishing stores are displaying a
novelty In the way of underclothing. The
material seems to be kind of mule such as
window draperies were made OF a quarter of
century ago. Legs and arms terminate
in woven, close-ftting cuff or band three

A waterfall has recently been discov-

remarkable in the world. 1t is exceed
ingly difficult of access, being almost
completely surrounded by a chain of
snow covered mountains. numerous gla-
ciers and superb lakes.
The highest of all the waterfalls whose
existence is known ut the present time
is one in California, whose mass of wa
ter plunges down from n height of 1850

The next in point of height is the Orco

Many attempts have been made to so
improve pipes and cigar holders that the
unpleasant biting sensation on the tip of
the tongue could be averted and the mic
otine prevented from entering the mouth,
but so far with indifferent success. A
.Scotehman, it is claimed, has now solved
the problem. His method is to provide
a hollow ball, with n short tubular or
slotted stem attached to it, which is in
serted in the usual orifce in the mouth
piece of the pipe or cigar or cigarette
holder, so that the smoke shall pass out
through the tube or slotted stem and up
per slotted part Of the ball, and the
tongue shall rub against the ball in the
mouth of the %orifce, and thus prevent
the saliva of the mouth from going or
working back in the mouthpiece New
