How Soldiers Act When Stricken
on the Field.

" We have all heard accounts" says
Major l.. Il. Morris, of the third cav
airy" of how men stricken upon the
field all upon their mothers, how their
thoughts drift back to their old home,
and how they die with memories of
happy days forcing their way to their
lips. | have never seen anything of
the kind. My experience with those
fatally wounded is that anger and the
spirit of strife dominate them to the
last. 1t is possible that if a man lies
for many hours unattended, in his
delirium he may wander back to peace
full scenes; but generally he will rave
against the fate which has overtakep
him so long as there is any breath left
in him. l recollect that at Gettys-
burg we charged and captured Con-
federate battery which had suffered
terribly. Most of the battery was
dismounted, and not many people
were left to work the guns that
were whole. Lying across gun,
face downward, was young fellow
whose gasping breath attracted our at
tention. He had been shot through
the lung, was choking with blood, and
was dying then. We turned him over.
He had had a half hour of agony, and
one would have supposed that his
thoughts would have been in other
places. My shot, he gasped excitedly,
my shot and so passed away. Evil
deutly he had discharged his piece just
before receiving the wound which
translated him, and the intervening
time had been blank, ~ Washington

Whales in Bellring Sea.

The valuable whales have about
all disappeared from the north Pa
cific Behring and Okhotsk seas no
longer contain them, and the Arctic
ocean is the only recognized whaling
ground left There are but so whal-
ers now afoat in the western ocean,
while half century ago there were
600 of such ships. There are 10
steam vessels in this fleet, and the
rest are relics ancient banks and
briggs thR date from the long ago,
are seldom insured and with Difficult
ty secure crews.
The captain and crew go on shares
or are paid percentage of the sea
sons catch, and six or eight whales
will credit the former with 1000 or
$4,000, and the sailors with couple
of hundred dollars each. For three
seasons one of the whalers has not
secured single whale, while one
crew captured u whales in the sum
mer of 1891.
In 1891 Sitka was surprised by
visit from a whaler, the first in
many years since the Fairweather
grounds, off Mount ST Elias, were
abandoned This ship had sailed in
March for that old ground, but off
Prince William sound nine whales
were taken in eight days, and "a tenth
had been wounded when the bark
grounded in fog, unshipped and
broke the rudder. 1t then worked
its way to Sitka and for fortnight
gave a new interest to the life of
that quiet capital.
There had been time to clean and
slightly deodorize the ship during it's
sail into port, and it fell disappoint-
ingly short of the traditional whaler.
But it was interesting to visit it and
have the cheerful mate show pieces
of whalebone and Z feet in length
stacked up like cordwood; to see the
boats, harpoons, knives and tackle

IN GENERAL.
Worth While.

It is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like u song,
But the man worth while Is the one wao will smil
when everything goes dead wrong
For the test Of the heart Is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray
When without or within no voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But 1T is only a negative virtue
Until tits tried by fire,
And the life that's worth the honor Of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen
who had no strength for the strife
The worlds highway is numbered to-day,
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides IN u smile,
II is these that are worth the homage of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.

The Mustache.

The home of the mustache is in
Spain, and here is the history of its
origin After the Moors first invaded
the country the Christian and Mos
lem population became so mixed that
it was difficult to say which were
Moors and which Spaniards, The
Spaniards then hit upon a means by
which they could at once distinguish
their brethren. They did not shave
their lips any longer, and they al
lowed a tuft of hair to grow below
their under lips, SO that their boards
formed the rude outline of a cross.
Thus the mustache became symbol

Remedy for Round Shoulders.

Anybody can cure round shoulders
by very simple system of exercise.
The round shouldered man should
go into the open air three or four
times day, let his hands drop to his
sides, and then, while inhaling fresh
air, raise himself on his toes as high
as he can. The filing of the lungs
pushes the shoulders back to their
normal position, and if the practice
is steadily followed for a couple of
months the worst pair Of stoop Shout
ders in time will become as straight
as duI ryeant's,- PhHodeptjo

A Child's Charmed Life.

Chubby checked Lena Shenstine, 3
years old, whose parents live at 1880 Hope
street, is believed by the neighbors to
bear Il charmed life, and her mother be-
lieves that her child's star of destiny is
bright and wrinkles with good fortune.
At any rate little Lena accomplished a
feat that ordinarily would be thought to
be attended with death.
This is the story Of the affair: Tuesday
noon Lena's mother took the child up to
the third story to let her take the usual
midday nap. Mrs. Shenstine placed her
little one on the bed and tucked in the
covers. She then closed the shutters of
one window-that nearest to the bed
The shutters Of the other window We're
bowed. But Lena's mother thought that
there was no necessity for closing them
The mother went down stairs and into
the yard to continue the washing. About
10 minutes later Mrs. Shenstine heard
little noise on the pavement near her,
but was so busy that she did not turn
around. A minute later she felt tug
at her skirts. She looked, and there was
little Lena with frightened look
"Mudder, l Tell out or the window"
was all that the child said.
Mrs. Shenstine was bewildered with
fright. She could scarcely believe it, but
one of the neighbors who happened to be
up stairs in her own home and had seen
the child fall, called to Mrs. Shenstine,
and little Lena's story was verified.
The two women examined the child,
but found only a bruise on the fleshy part
OF the body Mrs. Shenstine sent for DR..
Beatty, as the child began crying. The
physician could find no bones broken,
but advised the mother to send Lena to
st. Mary's hospital, which was done.
At the hospital last night one Of the
physicians said that Lena would recover,
as she was only suffering from the shock.
The childwas prattling all day yesterday
about her mishdp. h,lUdelphid Press.
