Chances of Death in War.

NO doubt every reader has seen the
statement that it takes mans weight of
lead to kill him in battle, and they NAV
nave considered it to be merely a rhetor-
lcai hyperbole, suggested by the fact
that comparatively few out of the whole
number of shots fired in heat of battle
take effect. Marshal SAKE, we believe,
hrstsmade the assertion which forms the
case OF the above, when he said it would
take 125 pounds of lead and thirty three
pounds of powder to put each of the ene-
my In the long trench. Wild and Wis
lonary as this may seem, it appears that
there was more truth than poetry in the
remark. With all the improvements
which have been made in the art of war
since the days of Sake, Cassendi, the
French savant, proves that the great
Maishal's philosophical remark still hoSls
good.
At the battle of Solferino, according
TO Cassendi's carefully deduced calcula-
tions, comparison of the number of
shots fired on the Austrian side with the
number of killed and wounded on the
part of the enemy, shows that 700 bul-
lets were expended for each man
wounded, and 1900 for each man
killed. The average weight of the ball
used was 30 grains, therefore it must
have taken at least 1876 Kilograms, or 227
pounds of lead for each man killed.
Yet Solferino was most important and
bloody battle. In the Franco Prussan
war the slaughter caused by the needle
gun among the French soldiers shows
how much superior that gun is to the
Austrian carbine; yet, with that deadly
weapon 12,300 shots were fred for
every soldier destroyed in the enemy's
ranks. Verify there was a good foun-
dation for Bogert's ungrammatical re-
mark: "War is awful, but the noise of
war is awfuller. ST. Louis Republic.

SERVING POTATOES.

A simple, delicious method observing

fuls of butter. Mix the butter well
through, and pour the potatoes in /,
smooth frying pan, and let them cook
over the fire for six or seven minutes,
with the lid on. BY this time they
should be well Drowned on the bottom.
Fold them over in an omelette form,
and dish them on hot platter, and
serve as an accompaniment to dish oil
Dreaded chops or meat fried in batter.
Lyonaise potatoes are excellent for 8
change. Cut up eight potatoes in small
cubes, or chop them coarsely with a
knife. Season them with pepper and
salt. Mince a small onion fine, and fry
it till it is fine straw color in a table
spoonful of butter; add the potatoes.
Toss them till they are light brown, OF
touched with brown-it will take three
or four minu tes-and then serve them at
once in hot dish. Lyonaise potatoes are
excellent served with broiled steak or
with broiled calfs liver. There arc
many other ways of preparing potatoes
besides stewing them or frying them in
a pan, though both these methods are
good if not resorted to exclusively.
Thick slices of cold potatoes dipped in
melted butter and broiled are excellent.
A dish of escalloped potatoes offers
still another method of preparing cold
potatoes. Select eight cold potatoes,
slice them in thin slices, season then
and pour over them cream sauce,
made with tablespoonful of butter
melted in saucepan, and Tablespoon
full of flour stirred in, aud a pint OF
milk. Put the potatoes and cream
sauce in an earthen baking dish
sprinkle fine breadcrumbs over the TOP
OF the dish, and bits of butter, and
bake it for twenty minutes in hot
oven. .-Neso York Tribune.

Pace OF the Camel.

AS matter of fact, and in spite of its
having carried Mohammed in four leaps
from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven miles an
hour is the camel's limit, nor can it
maintain this rate over two hours-a slow
pace, beyond which it is dangerous to
urge it, lest, as the Asiatics say,it might
break its heart and die literally on the
spot. When camel is pressed beyond
this speed, and is spent, it kneels down,
and not all the wolves in Asia will make
it bulge again. The camel remains
where it kneels, and where it kneels it
dies. A fire under its nose is useless

An Old Watch.

saw the other day gold watch
which was made in 1850. 1t was an odd
looking watch compared with those of
the present day. 1t was made by the
famous matchmaker, Breguet, of Paris.
He has been dead for more than one
hundred years. 1t was worn by the
grandfather of the present owner, who
fought under Napoleon and carried this
watch through the seige of Moscow and
the terrible retreat that followed. 1t is
an open face watch, with keyhole in the

ciate this feature at the present day, but
130 years ago. it must be remembered,
matches were not in free use-in fact, |
believe it was before the time matches
were known. 1t must have received
some rough usage, passing through the
Napoleonic wars and other strange vicis-
situdes before it reached America. To
pass through all these adventures and not
become utterly useless must rebound to
the great fame Breguct enjoyed in his
time in Paris. In the last six months,
however, it has shown feebleness and
unreliability which it was natural to ex-
pect years ago. The watch since then
has made the rounds of nearly every
jewelry shop in Chicago. Chicago Her.

The Emperor's Decoration.

A romantic story attaches to the new
decoration announced by the Emperor of
Japan in commemoration of Emperor
Jimmu's coronation, $3.50 years ago. The
distinguishing feature of the decoration
is golden fish hawk. The legend is
that during Jimmu's conquest of eastern
Japan the sky one day became suddenly
dark, and fish hawk of golden hue
settled on the Emperor's crossbow. The
bird threw off brilliant light, by which
the enemy were dazzled and the Emperor
forces were victorious
