THE OLD SOLDIERS LAsr SIGHT.

During the National oncampmcnt in
Boston, an old comrade with silvery hair
was led into the Cyclorama of Gettvs-
burg by bright-faced little miss. The
old man sat down while the child de-
scribed to him the features Of the pic
ture. Occasionally he asked her a ques-
tion, and slowly shook his head as if in
doubt of the accuracy of her account
She had described to him in her own
way, the onrush of Picketts men and
the hand-to-hand conflict at the stone
where the Maine veterans met the charge
of the Southerners, when he asked: But
where's the artillery, May?'
"Oh you mean the big guns? They
are over there OF the hill, in a row.
"All in a row?' he asked.
"Yes."
He shook his head. "Look around, -
said he. "There must be some NOR,
that are not in line"
Eyes, there are some more down here
but they are all upset; | guess they're
busted"
SIS that where the men are coming
over the wall?'
"Yes, grandpa"

but the smoke is so thick you can't SEE
them"
"Oh, see them he cried.
1t was then noticed by several com
rades who were standing near him, that
he was blind. The little girl replied, "Oh
no, grandpa, you can't see them
eyes, can, cried the old soldier; 81
can see the men, the grove and the
broken cannon lying about
The child looked at him in innoceu
surprise, and said: You are joking
grandpa"
"No, my dear" replied the old man
''No. that was the last thing ever saw

ploded there just this side OF the ston,

Probably the contest Of the last codicil
| OF the will of the millionaire
tayerweather will divulge some remark
able facts, Mr.. Fayerweather was prac-
tically an agnostic, yet he was an attend
ant OF the Madison Avenue Presbyterian
church, and, although not church men-
Der was an officer of the society. Rev.
Dr. Li0ydT pastor Of the church, has
made fDr the counsel of Mrs. Paysr-
weather, who is trying to break the viii,
an aiiidaWt Which describes some extra
ordinary circumstances. The minister
and Fayegweather had been rather init

milliSnan6 Sheath DR. Lloyd was sum-
nuned to the tFayerweather residence.
lie reached tic house at about 4 O'Clock.
There he was told that the rich man Was
dying. Mrs. FayeTweather and the rel0-
tiyes desired the.1ninister to go into the
dying nEms room and pray with him.
Word was sent TO the sick chamber that
Dr. Lloyd was ready to perform the last
Offices of religion. The answer came
back that it was not thought advisable
for the clergyman to enter. Dr. Lloyd
was indignant and surprised when he
learned that this'reply was sent to him
by a MIR. Vaughan, who was the only
person at Mr. FayeTweatheT's bedside.
The other side of the case has not yet
been exposed, and-when that is done the
Vaughan mystery may be explained. He
is not even relative of the Fayerweath-
ers, but was simply business acquaint-
ance of the millionaire, to whom he was
indebted in the sum of S500,000. DR..
Lloyd remained in the house for four
hours and was then informed that Mr..
Fayerweather was dead. In the interval
neither the minister nor Mrs. Fayer-
weather was permitted to enter the
room of the dying man. This assump-
ton OF authority by man who was
stranger to the family is, on
the face of DR.. Lloyd's affidavit, prOba-
bly, without parallel under the eircum-
stances. According to DR.. Lloyd,
Vaughan entered the house when the
knowledge obtained that Mr.. Fay0r-
weather had but short time to live, and
practically took possession, giving COM
mands to the family and taking absolute
control of the sick room. During the
last hours Mr.. Fayerweather, who, 40
cOrding TO the attending physicians
DR.. Lloyd says, was partly
unconscious at the time, was induced 10
sign the cOdicil to his will which left
to Lawyer Rich, who drew
the codIcil, Mr. Vaughan and a Mr..
Buckley an estate valued at between
50, 900 and S4,OOO,OOO, without condi-
tidns except silent pledge thatit should
be distributed in part among certain
colleges named in the original will, and
the residue was to be theirs. This mar
ratiye, constructed from DIR. Lloyd's afi-
davit, will be added to by other testi-
mony which will make the case sensa-
tional in the highest degree Mrs. Fayer-
who is contesting the probate
of the will and cOdicil, and has said that
if the instrument shall be set aside she
will distribute the bequests among the
colleges as was intended by her husband.
But she does not propose to permit the
residue OF the great estate to go among
men who are in fact accused of conspir-
acy to get rich in haste.-N Y Letter.

DOES EXPERIENCE COUNT;

1t does, in every line of business. and
especially in compOunding medicines.
This is illustrated in the great superiority
of Hoods Sarsaparilla over otherprepaf-
ations, as shown by the remarkable
cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm of c. |. Hood 4,
Co. is thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also a
member of the Massachusetts and Amer
lean Pharmaceutical Association, and
continues actively devoted to supervis.
ing the preparation of and managing the
business connected with, Hoods Sarsa
parilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most substantial foundation. il
its preparation there is represented al
the knowledge which modern research il
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, brain-work anc
experiment. 1t is only necessary to Civ,
this medicine fair trial to realize it
great curative value.

One of our experiment stahons-that
of New YUrk-has shown that it is pos
sible to keep a herd of COWS in good
working condition on ration costing
14.27 cents per COW each day, This is
cheap if the cows are doing well. But
this is not all that was shown. Analyses
demonstrated that seventy per cent. OF
the value OF the ration was saved in the
manure-or almost ten cents of 1427
which the ration cost-thus reducing it,
net cost to about 4.30 cents daily. OF
this manure the liquid was worth about
six and the solids about four cents daily
On this basis the value of the yearly
product of manure from herd of fifty
cows is estimated at 81 ,S2j. This would
90 a great way toward avoiding the ne
ccssity of purchasing commercial fertil
izers. Thus it will be seen how valua

and how important it is that it should bS
saved and put into the most available
condition as food for plants. The pigs

THE GENTLEMAN.

OF all the standards of gentility that
have been sent that one is the narrowest
and most ungentlemanly that assumes
violence of action or language to be
necessary as a sign of authority or a
means of resentment. The late Cardinal
Newman in one of his scholarly dis
courses addressed himself to the task of
giving true and clear definition of a
gentleman In the very outset he says:
lit is almost definition of gentleman
to say that he is one who never inhicts
pain" This does not imply that a gen
tleman is necessarily an imbecile. for he
can be as brilliant in speech and vigorous
in action as the most irresistible states
man or warrior, and all without giving
pain; on the contrary. he NAV be all
this and yet give only pleasure.
But Cardinal Newman elabOrates the
idea more appropriately in these words
The true gentleman carefully avoids
whatever may cause a jar or jolt in the
mind of those with whom he is cast
all cleshing of opinion or collision OF
feeling, all restraint or suspicion OF
gloom or resentment, his great concern
being to make every one at ease and al
home. He has eyes on all his company
he is tender toward the bashful. gentle
toward the distant, and merciful toward
the absurd. He can recollect to whom
he is speaking; he guards against un.
reasonable illusions or topics which
may irritate; he is seldom prominent il
conversation, and never wearisOme. II,
