A NEW STORY OF GEN. GRANT.

| was told good story about
Gen. Grant today that | never saw
in print 1t will be recalled that
early in the war the New York Fire
Zouaves were a crack regiment, COM
manded by Col. Ellsworth. Every
man in the ranks had been fireman,
and it was confidently believed that
Ellsworth's command was able to
put down the rebellion without
assistance The colonel was a young
man, handsome, gallant, burning
with military ardor and thirsting
for military fame He was as much
the idol OF the North as Ashby was
a few months later the idol of the
South The Fire Zouaves were the
first troops to march into Alexandria,
Va. The colonel was at their head,
and after the town surrendered ELS
worth saw a rebel flag flying from
hotel.
Instead of ordering squad to re-
move it, he bolted into the house,
assembled the stairway, went out on
the roof and captured the flag;
descending he was confronted by the
landlord-one Jackson, who shot him
dead. Jackson himself was then
shot to death, and the affair created
more sensation than considerable
battles a few years later. After
the war a daughter of Jackson
secured an appointment in one of
the departments here. She was a
modest, diligent and capable young
woman and discharged her official
duties acceptably. In the course of
time SUPERFICIAL gentleman was
put in charge of the bureau in which
she worked.
Nosing around, he soon discovered
the antecedents of the young clerk
and discharged her. She was friend
less and penniless, and at a last
resort went to the White house and
called on Gen. Grant. He received
her, and she related her story to the
silent man. Without saving word
he took piece of paper and wrote:
The war against men is ended, and
my administration shall not begin
one against women. Restore Miss
Jackson to her former clerkship in
stantly." This was addressed to
the loyal bureau official, and the
young lady is yet in the public ser
vice. That was an exhibition of
chivalry that Duriois or Francis /.
might haveenvied.-[ Louisville Cour-

THE GOODNESS OF LAKE SUPERIOR.

Lake Superior is capriclous
monster, demanding SIX illed seaman
ship and the use of powerful and
stanch boats, the majoritv of which
are comparable with he vessels in
our Atlantic coasting trade. The
lake is veritable womb of storms.
They develop quickly there. and even
more speedily the water takes on a
furious character. 1t IS always cold,
and the atmosphere above and far
around it is kept cool all summer l
have been told, but cam OF verify the
statement, that the tenn perature OF
the water in the open lake never rises
above 46o Fahrenheit. AS rule,
the men who sail upon 1t cannot
swim. The lake offers no induce
ment to learn the art, and, alas =
those who are expert swimmers
could not keep alive for any great,
length Of time in the icy water.
When l was making inquiries upon
this point, | found, a. one almost al
WAYS does, some who disputed what
the majority agreed upon. [ even
found an old gentleman, a profession
al man OF beyond seventy years of
age, who said that for several years
he had visited the lake each summer
time, and that he had made it
practice to battle in its waters near
ly every day. 1t was chilly, he adj
mitted, and he did not stay in very
long. But many sailors, among
them some ship and steamship
captains, confirmed my belief that
few Lake Superior seamen have
learned to swim, and that the cold
ness of the water quickly numbs
those who fall into 1t. l asked one
captain how long he supposed man
might battle for life, or cling to a
spar in the lake. He answered very
sensibly, it seems to me, that some
men could endure the cold longer
than others. and that the more flesh
and fat a man possessed, the longer
he could keep alive. But, he added,
1.-The only man | ever saw fell over
board went down like shot before
we could get to him. l always sup
posed he took q cramp."
The bodies of the drowned are said
not to rise to the surface. They are
refrigerated, and the decomposition
which causes the ascent OF human
bodies in other waters does not take
place If one interesting cOntribu
ton to my notes is true, and there
be depths to which fishes do not
descend, it is possible that many
hapless sailor-and lad voyager lies
as he died, century back perhaps,
and will ever thus remain, llfel1ke
and natural, under the darkening
veil of those emerald depths.-[ From
Brother to the Sea-" by Julian

Remember, that although starch

cannot endure the rustic of aprons or

Enter the room quietly but not
stealthily; as though you belonged

Let few cool fresh blossoms that

the feverish face; they seem to bring
rest with them.
Allude not to personal appearance,
especially to say, You look like

FEEDING a DELICATE BABY.

There are three points to be con-
sidered, in feeding a delicate baby,
writes Elizabeth Robinson Scovill in
the April Ladies Home Journal.
The kind of food.
The quantity given at once.
The time between meals.
The kind of food must, of course,
depend upon the child; what agrees
with one cannot be taken by another,
while it exactly suits a third. A
good receipt is one tablespoonful of
milk, two tablespoonful Of cream,
two tablespoonful of lime water
and three of boiled water, sweetened
with tiny pinch of milk sugar.
make it milk warm, and the food is
ready for use. This is sufficient for
one feeding for an ordinary sized
baby until it is two months old; af-
ter that gradually increase the guam
tity without changing the ingre-
dents.
