Indian got his start. | only know what

World. There was an adventurer
named Rutz who left his old city, Bar
celona, and came to Virginia 800 years
ago When he returned he executed
the wooden Indian in a rude way. as a
type of the sort of animal he had met in
the New World. and the figure was set
up in front of shop where wine was
sold. Finally it became sort of trade
mark. There were smokers in those
days and they assembled around the In
dian. And the wooden Indian is now
seen in front of nearly every cigar store.

Letters That Never Came.

They tell funny story of man who
rented box in the postoffice awhile ago.
He appears to have been. new to the
business and failed to get the hang Of
the thing After month or so he called
on one of the postoffice officials and be-
gan to kick about the box. 1.-THE blamed
thing never had any mail in it,. was his
complaint. 8ai
IL have looked in that box every day
since rented it and it hasn't had thing
in it the whole time. Ieven addressed a
letter to myself and never heard from it. I"
The two took a look at the box and
the postofice man inquired if the box
renter had ever opened his box Why,
no; of course not. Couldn't he see that
there wasn't anything in it.
Of course it turned out that he had
forgotten the number of his box though
it was on his receipt, and had been
watching and swearing over an unrented
one He found stock of mail in his
box at last and went away feeling small
to crowd inside of it.-Buffalo

HIS FIRST FIGHT.
The Most Trying Experience in the Life

The Most Trying Experience in the Life
of a soldier.
81 shall never forget the first time
was under fire." said Col Thomas Cren-
shaw to party of veterans who were
fighting their battles DER again in the
rotunda of the Laclede. ''We were sup
porting a battery and had laid down on
stretch of ground as level as a ball
room floor. The confederates were be-
yond rifle shot, but they opened on us
with artillery and they did everlasting
" pillow up the ground with shot and
she'll Every old soldier knows that
artillery fire at long range is not half
so much to be dreaded as the rattle of
musketrv, which sounds on a battle
field like Chinese firecrackers in thun-
der storm, but it is a good deal more
'sl1eery' to novice. There we lay for
half an hour, never moving a finger,
watching the puffs of flame from a
dozen cannon and the shells come tear
ing through the air with their fendish
shrek, apparently headed directly for
our faces. tell you a position of that
kind tries the very soul of your raw re-
cruits. Give him a chance to shoot
back and he is all right, but fighting is
one thing and waiting to get killed
without striking a blow is quite an
other But there was more ahead for
us. After the artillery duel had ragged
for some time regiment of confeder-
ate cavalry debouched from the wood
with all the deliberation and precision
of dress parade. They were Missisip-
plans, tall, athletic fellows, who sat on
their horses like centaurs. They
halted and dressed ranks while
the batteries behind them hurled
a perfect rain of shell over their
heads. We could see their colonel
riding down the line and pointing with
his sword to our battery, which was
plunging shells in among them with
frightful rapidity, but little effect
They advance a step or two, every horse
man seeming to choose his ground
Here they come, slowly, steadily, like
a great gray wave, conscious of ire
sistible power The bugle rings out
sharp and shrill, they break into
quick trot, eight hundred sabers leap
into the air and the stars and bars
stream out on the smoky background
like portentous meteor. On they come;

six hundred Gods! has our battery gone
silent? Five hundred four hundred!
charge! Every spur sinks deep, the
confederate yell rises from every
throat and the column leans forward
like a thunderbolt, into the face of
which crashes the canister from our
four six-pounders. Great ragged holes
are torn through deep column, but they
close instantly and it comes on unchecl-
ed Now it is our turn We are in
front of the battery, in the pathway of
the avalanche. We pour volley into
it at eighty yards! A hundred brave
men reel out of their saddles, hundred
horses go plunging to their knees. The
line wavers. Another volley and
another! The line breaks, and suddenly
retreats While we swing our caps and
cheer and hug each other for joy. And
that was war!"-St Louis Globe Demo

FARM PHILOSOPHY.

NEVER allow crop to go to seed II it
is to be cut for hay. The seed heads
may form, but they should not advance
beyond the milky stage. When the
seeds of any crop mature the body of
the plant has been drawn upon to pro-
vide for the seeds, but if a crop is cut
when in the milky stage the nutrition
of the plant has not left the stalks
and the plant is consequently more val
liable
THE swill barrel is disgusting thing
on a farm, especially in the summer
season. There is no reason why a hog
should be compelled to subsist on swill
and other fermented foods when it will
cost no more to give it wholesome food.
Diseases are more prevalent with hogs
that are confined and fed on filthy swill
than when they are given an oppor-
tunity to a clover field and pure water.
BEAR in mind that on very warm
days horses body presents a great
surface to the direct rays of the sun.
If possible, there should be a relief
team during the hot months, allowing
each team half a days work. If this
plan cannot be adopted the work should
be done very early in the morning and
until late IN the evening, allowing an
interval of several hours during the
heat Of the day.
EXPERIMENT shows the yellow seed in
clover to be very much the best. Al
most all the yellow terminated and
produced a good stand Of healthy
plants The light brown did very well,
but not as well as the yellow There
was a slight decrease, both in the num-
Der that terminated and the health Of
the plants. Very few of the green
seeds survived to amount to anything
The darker the seed the poorer the re-
suit.

of smoke from the southern soldiers
rife concealed in the treetop. He had
also observed the sad havoc among his
brother officers and men, who had be-
come victims of the rifeman's unerring
aim, and determined to drop the south

The most generally diffused metal in

in those waters are ten THOUSAND million

of the New World, the two Americas
have yielded seven billion dollars worth
of the metal. A popularity of silver is
that is is not found in free state, but

An Untamed Steed Gets His Rider Into
Trouble.
The greatest cavalry battle ever
fought on the American continent took
place at Brandy Station on the 9th of
June, 1868 At early dawn the federal
advance guard crossed the Rappahan-
mock and charged our outposts with
such vigor that they entered our camp
at their heels. Most of my regiment,
Sixth Virginia, had turned their horses
out the evening before, SO that no more
than fifty of us were prepared to mount.
Our reveille was the crack of the pistol
and carbine of the foe. These fifty men
were quickly mounted, formed, and or
dered to charge. Not a moment was to
be lost, as some of the enemy's advance
were in our artillery camp.

jack, through which ran a narrow
country road. No time was to be lost,
