not he so unkind as to say that leap year
has any thing to do with this; it is too
early for any leap year engagement to
take form and develops into marriage.
Every self respecting girl, even though
taking advantage Of privilege that 1892
offers her, is obliged to have trousseau
elaborate or not, but a rousseau never

doubt for one, If any of these wedding are
the results of leap year matches. All the
world loves a lover, and the world
feminine loves to know just what brides
trosseau may contain, how she looks in
her wedding gown, and last, perhaps it is
least, whether 1t is really love match or
not. If you desire to hear all about the
families of the contracting parties 1t is
well to enter the church at an early hour
and sit among group of people who,
perhaps, have seen the bride and groom
but once or twice IN their lives. How
their tongues will run, how frequently the
expression "they say" will be called into
use, and how the young pirl who is about
to change her name will be criticised. l

Caught Turning Over the Dead Bodies
Battlefield.

Caught Turning Over the Dead Bodies on
Battlefield.
Dawn was breaking over the battle
field. The means Of the dying rose on
the fresh morning breeze, and as the
suns first rays slanted across the plain
and glinted on the trappings of the
dead or lit-up faces on which the dews
of heaven We're mingled with the dews
of death, they revealed a single living,
moving figure.
1t was that of young man. He hur-
ried about apparently unmoved by the
horrors which surrounded him. Climb
ing over broken gun-carriages and all
the wreck of hard fought field, step
ping across the torn and disfgured
bodies, giving neither aid to the wound
ed nor reverence to the dead, he hast
ened on. Occasionally he would stoop
over some body and turn the cold face
up to the sun. Quietly but swiftly he
worked. Now and then a feathered
raven, frightened from its horrid feast
by the approach of its human proto-
type, flew away few feet, uttering
hoarse protests. He needed it not.
His eyes were bent ever downward.
1t was growing lighter now, and two
sentries in the edge of the wood noted
this lone hoverer over that scene of aw-
full carnage.
"Ghoul!" Kissed one of them, raising
his rifle.
"Wait" said the other. ga beast who
robs the dead is not worthy to be
shot"
Right"
The gun was lowered and the two SOL
diers silently approached the wretch.
He made no resistance; no attempt to
escape. He was taken before the coll
onel.
''Search him." commanded the officer,
as he fixed look of unutterable loath-
ing on the culprit.
The soldiers roughly removed his
outer garments and Investigated them.
A note book and pencil, pocket-knife,
comb cigar. Nothing more.
"Who are you and what are you do
ing among the dead?" demanded the
colonel.
81 am special correspondent of the
New York Startler, and | was detailed
to find out whether more men with
boards We're killed than those without"
was the reply.-Detroit Tribune.

FROM CORPORAL TO SERGEANT.

"A Veteran Soldier Tells How He Won His
Chevrons.
A number of war stories had been
told at the Old Soldiers club, when the
veteran announced that Sergt. Sprig-
gins would for the first time explain the
real circumstances which resulted in
his winning the chevrons, and the SER
geant coughed once or twice, blushed

we are at it hand to hand, clubbing

SOIL INDICATORS.

Certain Kinds of Weeds win only Grow
Fertile Soil.
Weeds are not often either respecters
of persons or of soils, in the great Mis-
sissippi valley, but usually grow apace
with the crops unless diligently resisted
by the aggressive farmer, though a
writer says the fact that some kinds of
weeds only grow on rich soil, and their
presence indicates fertility, is well un-
Gerstood by farmers The common
bull thistle cannot be grown success
fully on thin, cold soil. Possibly it's
seed might terminate on such land, but
it could not amount to much. Plantain
and catnip are weeds that have similar
preference, the latter especially thriv-
ing in the neighborhood of old build
ings, and always when plowed under
making fertile spot The common
mallows, growing in gardens and often
a great nuisance there, will not grow
in fields Of only ordinary fertility. On
the other hand, mullen and ragweed
grow better on poor soil than on any
other, probably because other plants
run them out if the land is rich. An
English story is told Of blind man
who was very wealthy and who had
made much of his money buying and
selling land. Driving one dry with his
servant to piece that had been com
mended highly he asked: Can you
End thistle here to hitch the horse to
while ! walk about the land?s No"
was the response, "but here is a null
lein that win do as well" Drive on, ="

Old soldiers Passing Away.

The old soldiers of the civil war are
beginning to fall rapidly before the
grim reaper. Their mortality, for a
number of years succeeding the war,
was less than that of an equal number
of men of the same age who had not
seen military service. The reason was,
that the soldiers were picked men, so to
speak-men who had passed medical
examination. They were ''frst-class
lives" to use the phrase of the life in
surance men. But the wear and tear
of those years of conflict now begin to
tell terribly. Over half of the grand
total of men mustered into the union
service are dead, and the remainder will
speedily pass away. The pension list
has reached it's highest point. The
pensioners are dying off as fast as new
names are added to sthe rolls, and the
death rate will go on increasing
