remarkable Stories About Men
Shot on the Battlefield.
Lieutenant Muncie. OF the Sixty
first Georgia regiment" said Captain
Tipto an Atlanta Constitution reporter,
Twas one OF the most remarkable men
| ever knew. He was slender, cadav-
erous-looking man, with apparently no
physical strength. yet he lived through
what would have killed dozen ordi-
nary men, and is alive to-day. In the
early part OF the war he was shot
through and through. The ball struck
the breastbone and shattered it, pass
ed through the body and came out
within an inch OF his spine between
two ribs. After a desperate struggle
for life he recovered and rejoined his
regiment. At the battle OF Monocacy
Creek he was again wounded. the ball
entering between the corresponding
ribs on the other side Of the spine and
issuing from the same hole that the
first b Ill entered at The second shot
must have taken the passage inside
Munce's body that the first ball made
in going in the opposite direction. He
was in prison with me later, and ap-
peared to suffer no unusual pain"
Lieutenant Leath was another man
with remarkable experience. He
WIS leading his men into battle, when
he received the order to charge. The
noise of the guns and the shrieks "
wounded made it necessary for Kim to
give his orders at the top OF his voice.
He had his mouth wide open, cal ling
out the word charge, when the silver
from a shell struck him in the cheek.
IL passed through his mouth without
touching single tooth and came out
through the other cheek leaving on
each side OF his head cash rs clean
rs il cut by razor, The wound be-
came iniiamed, and Leath, who was at
the time near his home. was given
leave Of absence for two or three days.
When he rode up to his mothers
house his head was tied up with
bandages.
The old lady rushed out when she
saw him coming and cried: "Oh, my
son, where are vUu wounded"
Right through tho head" was the
reply.
Hs mother, thinking the wound
must be fatal, sent for Il doctor with
out waiting for explanations. When

Sumcient Sleep.

In this age OF hurry and worry, with
its consequent nervous exhaustion. OF
which so much is now heard, the ne
cessity Of taking sufficient sleep can
not be insisted upon too forcibly. To
lay down any hard or fast rule for its
regulation is not possible. for, natur-
ally. brain-workers require more than
the drones OF society; in fact, every
brain-worker il he wishes his power
TO last should take from eight to nine
hours sleep out OF every twenty -four.

hours enough, whereas Sarah Bern

Discussion In America.

Discussion Is so universal in this
country, that it may be set down as an
American 'institution. In fact. it is
IN outgrowth of the very form and
spirit OF our governmental system to
''cuss" and discuss. Here the people
being the scource o. power and every
Topic which arises having more or less
bearing on public affairs, such as the
Monroe doctrine, and when to put on
winter nannelS, for inst nee, they are
naturally prompted to inquire into it
In other words. to discuss ito slit it
10 the bottom. Young American in
his swaddling clothes, is ready, in his
sovereign" dignity, to take a turn at
argument; nor can you persuade him
that this is out Of place, and that he
should use his mouth chiefly for feed
ing purposes. Were you to attempt
such thing he would swell up, In his
sovereignty, and inform you that he Is
''ready to argue the point" and he
would do it, too. He might also re-
quest you to go and soak your head.
60 where you will, in the country, you
will find peop!e-the high and the
low, the cab-driver. the plumber. the
congressman, the learned and the igno-
rant. the young and those who have
been young. all ready to discuss any
question, from the "whichneSS OF the
is" to chow to run n newspaper" In
the stage, the steamer, the car. the
hotel, debate is the order of the day.
And You shall find comparatively as
To in "a If ha
guments presented as between the
espousers OF the same side. They all
''read the papers," and are prepared
to quote "facts and "argue the point"
Great is the country where the people
investigate for themselves, and do not
take anybody's word for anything.

the pride Of his class. But a shadow fell across
his bright prospects. 1t began with a trihing

low, and he seemed doomed to an early gave.

An Elephants seIr-Dental.

While in India Captain Marryat, the
novelist, was intensely interested in the
devotion and self-denial of huge ele-
phant. Tho beast was defending him
self from swarms of mosquitoes, using q
large branch to keep them from the
crannies and cracks of his thick hide.
His prosecutors were still annoying
him greatly, as was evident from his
emotions, when his keeper appeared
with a little child. This he laid down
before tho animal, saying: "Watch it,"
and walked away. The elephant imme-
diately broke off small whisk from the
large boughj and instead Of tanning
himself directed his attention to driving
away every mosquito from the infant.
He cont.nucd this until the keeper re-
turned, two hours later, thus setting,
though brute, an example Of devotion
which few men would havo initiated,

Numbering His Teacher.


Numbering His Teacher.
Rev. DR.. Frederick Evans told story
at the banquet OF tho WoIshmen TO II.
lustrate the difficulties Wolshman has
In studying the English language. Tho
Weishman undertook as his first lesson
from en- English teacher this primer
story, very simple to an Englishman:
That ploughman has rough field to
plow, and when he is through let him
shoulder his gun as though no was not
tired, and whilo no is roughing it his
wife is busy with tho dough, for which
he should feel thankful, and she has
two children sick with the hiccourhs."
Tho Welshman was taught first to
pronounce ''ploughmau," and on that
cough" sound ho read off the story thus:
THAT ploughman has row field to
plough and when no is Lhrou let him
shoulder his gun as thou he was not
tired and whilo he is rowing it his wife
is busy with the dow, for which he
should be thankful, and she has two
children sick with tho hiccows."
OF course the Welshman's teacher
told him that trough" was always
ruff" and thereupon tho Welshman
corrected his story, as he thought:
THAT pullman has o rough field to
pluH and when he is thruff lot him
shoulder his gun as thuff he was not
tired, and while he is rufflng it his wife
Is busy with the duff, for which he
should feel thankful, and she had two
children sick with the hiccuffs."
But Through" was not thruff, and
after much coaching on that word the
Welshman innocently produced another
remarkable use of tho ''eugh:"
THAT plooman has q rue field to ploo
and when he is through let him shoul-
der his gun as thoo no was not tired,
and while he Is rueing it Lis wife is
busy with the do, for which he should
be thankful, and she has two children
sick with hiccoos."
Then tho Wcishman was taught how
to pronounce dough-" and keeping that
IN his head made his story more mon
strouS:
THAT ploman has row field to plo
and when he is throw let him shoulder
his gun as though he was not tired and
while he is rowing it his wife is busy
with tho dough for which he should feel
thankful, and she has two children sick
with tho hiccoes."
Then when tho Welshman could mas
tor 'hiccoughs" ho capped the climax:
"That plupman has rupp fold to
plupp and when he 10 thrupp let him
shoulder his gun as thupp he was not
