on the same ship on which this sailo
was employed, and happened, Will,
leaning over the side of the vessel
to drop his tall silk hat into tn,
water. The sailor, witnessing tn,
accident, Immediately jumped over
board and rescued the tile from
watery grave. The commodor,
heartily expressed his thinks to tn,
mar and gave him dollar, which
the sailor had kept ever after as
souvenir. He finally parted with his
watch and the cherished dollar to MIR
Martin In exchange for pair of shoes
and his railroad fare to Chattanooga,
requesting Mr.. Martin to preserve the
dollar, as he wished. when able, to re.
deem 1t. Sixteen years have passed,
and Mr.. Martin faithful to his prom.

The dollar was coined in 1900 and

wards was shot within an inch of the
place where Lieut.. Ritter was shot.
Maj. T. s. Clarksor, then in com.
mand of the regiment. with Lieut..
Greene and a large force. returned the
same afternoon, drove the rebels from
the place, and recovered the body of
Lieut.. Ritter. His wound received no
surgical treatment. and conseauently
caused his death two or three hours at.

house few rods away gave him
water and was with him In his last
moments. She said that he passed

Florida Moss and It's Preparation.

The valuable moss of Florida. says
Harry BOmford, abouuds in the hum.
mocks aud back lands. It is gathered
chiefly ly colored people. III its
natural state it hangs IN fcstoons from
the limbs of trees IN strands from one
TO five feet in length. The moss il
gathered by pulling IL from the trees
with long poles, or by cutting the trees
down and then removing it. The
moss ia buried In the earth for about
n month, after which it is dug up and
is dried and shaken and sold to the
local moss dealers for one dollar per
hundred pounds. 1t is then run
through machine called gin. which
is nothing more than cylinder
covered with three Inch spikes rcvolv.
ing between roll of similar station
AIRY spikes. The action of these spikes
is TO knock out some of the dirt and
trash, but it docs not complete the job.
1t is then shaken over rack formed
of parallel bars, after which it is
pressed into bales of about two hun.
dred pounds each. Some of the moss
mills do all this work by hand. except
tho grinning. The moss, after having
gone through the above process, brings
from $3.50 to So Fer hundred
pounds.
If, Instead Of allowing it 10 remain
in the earth for one month, it is lcf,
there for three months, the entire
bark of the moss is pulled of and
there remains II beautiful black fibre
almost exactly like hair. The hair
moss brings from five to seven dollars
per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Bomford suggests the treatment
of this moss as a good field for inven.
lion. He thinks a machine could be
made which would take OIL the bark,
leaving the fibre, without the necessity
of burying the moss for SO long a time
in the earth. -[Boston Transcript.

many Of his kind into the cage
rigged up an electric battery and at
tached 1t to an apparatus that would
allow score OF the Simians to get
hold Of 1t. then took party of
natives and went into the forest
where there were troops of MONKEYS.
We put the apparatus down, attached
the wire, and removed the battery to
a considerable distance, the natives
then took hold OF the apparatus,
danced and yelled, then retired. The
monkeys made dash for it. Half a
dozen caught hold and l turned on
the current They began to skrlek
and squirm, but the Others thought
their performance a part Of the pro-
gram and fairly fell over each other
to get hold of the machine. l could
have stuck the whole troop If they
could have got hold OF the concern.
We then made descent on them
with sacks and soon had score of
them corralled. But It would only
work once. We tried it a month az

Aud ! weave into my song
All the sweet, sad thoughts that tbroug
OF the golden days Of yore.
Tito dream OF thee be wrong,
Then have offended sore.
Love, ldream OF thee the more
When the balmy days grow long.
All the winter have sigh'd
For thy presence. wearily
Grieving, gazed across the wide

Which divided thee and me
Now sweet hope inspires my song,
Wears the smile that once she wore.
