6Priyate" ALIENS War Stories.

Congressman Allen, of Mississippi,
never tires of telling funny tales about
the war. Here are two: A Confederate
soldier in a certain regiment had become
noted for running away from every fight.
On one occasion his captain found him
in line as an unexpected attack opened.
Standing behind him, the captain drew
his pistol, and said:
"Now, John, up to this time, you have
run from every fight You have dis
graced yourself on all occasions. Now,
if you stir from the line this time 1 i'm
tend to shoot you dead. l shall stand
here, right behind you, and if you start
to run l shall certainly kill YOU"
John heard the captain through, and,
drawing himself up to IN unusual height,
replied:
wall, captain, you may shoot me if
you like, but I'll never give any low
lived low down Yankee the privilege of
doing it.
AT Murfreesborough a Confederate
soldier was rushing to the rear with all
the speed he could command. An officer
hailed him and sneeringly inquired why
he was running so fast away from the
Yankees The soldier, without stopping,
yelled back:
Because 1 can't fly. "-[Galveston

lowing: After two weeks of hard vot

returned lady at the top of the poll.
Miss Braddon romps in with 1,SOo votes,
easily heading her nearest male rival,
who has 1,64S. The curiosltles OF the
election are many. Mr. Besant is not
bad third q 500, about double the votes
given for Ouida, who just beats Mr..
James Payn for fourth place, while he
again is high above John Strange

for more than 1927 hackers, but she walks
away from Mr.. Robert Buchanan Mr..
Black is near the bottom of the poll, a
position in which a majority over Mr.. Il.

comfort.

Christie Murray are companions III dis
comfiture Mr.. Marion Crawford comes
last, with 90, and Mr.. George Meredith
is not mentioned at all, not colored on

We fancy that culture simply nverts
the list, places Mr.. Meredith at the top
of the poll in his absence, and leaves
Miss Braddon and her companions in pop
ular esteem to the consultations of large
editions and the unthinking applause of
the populace But whether the poplilace
or culture is right, it belongs to the fut-
ure to decide. Perhaps the oldest
thing of all is that the authors of Little
Lord Fauntleroy' and of Three Men i'll

anybody is popular, at present. In the

Value of Green and Dry Foods.

In discussing the nutritive value C.
green and dried foods relatively it is ssD
by the Maine Station that it has been re-
peatedly demonstrated that carefully
dried grass is as digestible after as before
drying, and the same of fodder corn
dried and as ensilage. Experiments
show that pound of digestible matter
in ensilage, with its accompanying seven
or eight pounds of water, can do only
practically the same work as pound of
digestible material from timothy hay,
with its water nearly all dried out, Sci.
ence has given practice no safer Or more
useful conclusion than that cattlefoods
have nutritive value in proportion to the
digestble dry matter which they con-
tain There is, however, small differ
ence in favor Of ensilage and chance
for the exercise of good judgment in
combining foods.

In all the affairs of life it is well to
cultivate the habit of variety. To min
gle with people having different tastes,
opinions, and pursuits, is better than linn
iting ourselves to those only who are
strictly congenial. To see other coun-
tries, with their various distinctive fea-
lures, is better than always remaining at
home. To know something of other
standards of right, and other ways
of life, is better than limiting our vision
to our favorite point of view. The BEN
eft of all tn will b. specially manifest
in mature life and in old age. 1t will
keep the mind young, the feelings fresh,
the sympath es warm, and the whole
nature open to improvement, and thus
while the years bring the richness of ex-
perience they will also bring the contin-
ual delights and benefits Of a wide and

years has recently been made by NJ Soyer,
a French savant, now chef of the Re-

things, M. Soyer says that the av .age
epicure of threescore and ten will have
consumed 80 oxen, 200 sheep, 100 calves,
200 lambs so pigs, 1900 fowls, 1000 fish
of different kinds, 10000 oysters, 5,475
pounds of vegetables, 243 pounds of but

sides several hogsheads of wine, tea cof-
fee, etc. This enormous amount of food
will weigh but little short of 40 tons.
