She Is Rather shrewd.

Milton county, Ga, has lady who is
shrewd trader. Not long ago the
merchants Of Roswell went wild in their
efforts to control the chicken trade. One
merchant raised the price of hens TO
thirty-five cents. The Milton county
lady went down and purchased about
twenty dollars worth of goods. The
merchant, thinking he would get the
cash, put the prices low. When the lady
had finished the trading she turned to
the merchant and said, .'Well, under
stand you are giving thirty-five cents
apiece for hens, and l will send suf-
ficient number next week to pay for this
bill Of goods" The merchant was sold,
but he just grinned and endured it.
And now, when he goes to sell bill of
goods, he inquiries whether it will be
paid in money or hens at thirty-tiye
cents each.-Philadelphia Ledger.

EOrsehair Snakes.

The 'ehorsehair snakes" are small, flesh
colored mites which live principally in
stagnant water After going through
various transformations they come to the
surface of the water in the shape of very
slender, purplish looking threads. When
they reach this last stage they leave the
water and work their way up the stalks
and leaves of Aquatic plants. When op-
portunity affords they attach themselves
to the feet, legs, wings and other parts OF
larger insects; often, as one authority states,
creeping under the wing case OF beetles. In
the case of che cricket, katydid, grasshop-
per and other insects of that ilk, whose legs
are hollow, the tiny horsehair takes the
advantage and creeps up the hollows into
the very vitals.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition OF some individuals of the above
named species. single specimens OF the
cricket having been caught with over two
dozen OF these threadlike snakes" at
tached to and inside their bodies. After
heavy rains, which frequently drown crick-
cts and katydids which are weighted down
by these parasites, the "horsehair snake"
energies from the carcass Of the insect
full fedged miniature serpent. In this
mature state he is the delight of the curl
osity seeker and mine of study TO those
who delight to delve in natures bypaths
Those which have been fortunate enough
to not have been carried very far from wa
ter by the insects which they encountered
during life make their way back to the
ponds to lay their eggs. They then wrap
themselves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent snake" dies to make room
for its progeny-St. Louis Republic.

Seeking for Inform alton.

During the earlier visits of the royal
family to Balmoral Prince Albert, dressed
in a very simple manner, was crossing one
of the Scotch lakes in a steamer, and was
curious to note everything relating to the
management of the vessel, and among
other things cooking Approaching the

attending TO the culinary matters, :le was
attracted by the savory odors of COM

who was not known to the cook. Hodge

HEARING A SHELL SCREAM.
A Hideous Sound That Tries the Nerve
of the New Soldier.

A Hideous Sound That Tries the Nerves
of the New Soldier.
The talk turned upon personal cour-
age In conversation I had the other
day with an aid-de-camp of General
Alexander Hays. The veteran, who had
the name of being the most daring aid
on Hays staff. said: "You ask me how
I felt when l first smelled powder, so to
speak. Well, after the lapse of all these
years I'm almost ashamed to tell you. l
was panic stricken, scared out of my
senses, my courage oozed out Of me in
an instant, and Small boy could have
captured me without trouble. This aw-
full experience came after l had been
about a year in the army. The regi-
ment of infantry in which Twas was pre-
pairing to go into camp. Wewere few
miles outside of Yorktown, which was
in the possession of the Confederates,
but none of us, not even our officers,
realized the proximity of the enemy.
There were some cattle with the army,
and some how or other some of my COM
rades and l were part of the crowd that
drove the beeves to the place where they
were to be slaughtered.
1--WE formed circle, sort of bull
ring, and fell to skylarking and firing
our pistols at the cattle as they ran
hither and thither. It was all laughter
and shouting. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, a sound that we had
never heard before rose above the clamCr.
1t was a sort of whirring howl lasting a
few seconds only, but long enough to
strike terror into our hearts. The men
who had been as gay and noisy as school
boys minute before were dumb. l
don't remember how they behaved. My
own affairs kept me busy. felt as if
nv boots were nailed to the ground.
They wouldn't move, neither would my
legs-in fact I had lost control of my
body. 1 was perfectly limp and my
knees sagged out.
THAT was the first strange sound, rs
of some hideous, deadly bird flying over
head. I hardly realized, mind you, that
the enemy was Smelling US. All knew
for sure was that somehow my life,
which l had enjoyed SO much a minute

but my legs wouldn't obey me. Two
shells passed over me before l could
shake off the paralysis. Then | ran as l
never ran before or since, with profess
sional sprinter's speed, to the shelter of
the woods from which our regiment had
only just emerged. A second terror
seized me as 1 reached the first scatter
ing trees. l had selected one, a big fell
low, as my refuge, and when I reached
it three other men who were crouched
behind it pushed me violently away,
SAYING there wasn't room for more.
Shells were still in the air, and with ter
TOR pursued my flight. When at last /
fell exhausted upon the ground beyond
the range of the enemy's artillery, al
most lost consciousness for awhile.
Nobody was killed by those shells,
but the 'Rebs' must have laughed to see
us run, and laughed louder yet when
our cattle ran into their lines as they
did. felt more or less uncomfortable
always in going into battle afterward,
but never again lost my nerve as did
at my fire baptism before Yorktown. y

Why We Have Leap Years.

Why is it that there have to be leap
years-that all our years are not of the
same length? 1t arises from the fact
that the year does not consist of an ex-
act number of days. The length of the
day and that of the year are the meas
ures of the motions of the earth. The
globe we live on moves in two ways. 1t
turns itself around like a spinning top,
and at the same time it goes steadily
forward like bullet shot from gun.
II turns itself once completely around
in twenty-four of our hours, as shown by
the clock; this amount Of time we call
day. Its forward or onward motion
carries it around the sun in a path that
is nearly circle; the time it takes to go
completely around we call a year. The
first motion gives us day and night fol-
lowing each other in turn Ghe word
"day" here having now different
meaning namely, not twenty-four
hours, but the time Of daylight.
The second motion gives US days THAT
is, periods of daylight growing gradual
ly longer and then gradually shorter,
one end of the earth turning more to-
ward the sun for half the time and the
other end for the other half; and this
brings US summer and winter and the
seasons. Now the length of the year is
found to be nearly 1851 times the length
of the day of twentyfour hours; that is,
the year is 800 days long and nearly six
hours more. 1t is these six hours that
give us our leap years, and it is in the
nearly" that we find the reason for
1900 not being one of their number

The Governors Ouills.

The governor of this commonwealth
signs every bill with quill. This isn't
because he is fonder of that particular
kind of pen, but it is rather in obedience
to well established custom that has OBJ
tanned with the chief magistrates of the
last decade. There are always few
members of the legislature that have the
collectors passion. and requests are
regularly received by Private Secretary
Roads from lawmakers and others for
pens that the governor has used for
signing bills. Accordingly dozens of
these quilts are purchased ever so often,
and the governor makes his signature
each time with new pen, which IS
carefully preserved and set aside for the
next quill hunter that calls.~

Strangers in the capital express much
surprise at the number of cripples to be
seen here, and offer various explanations
of the sight. The majority of MANNED
citizens are Office holders, who were Grip
pied during the late war. The form in
which they are mostly injured is the loss
of an arm, oftener the left one, as obser-
walton shows. Many have parted with a
leg, and the suppliers of substitutes in
willow, cork or rubber in Washington
aver that this is one of the best markets
in the country for their profession. Be
sides these injuries received through
violence, there are scores of people in
the government service who are afflicted
with natural deformities. They are to
be found particularly in the treasury de-
partment.-Kate Fields Washington.
