The Bethel correspondent of the Dan- bury News, in commenting upon the fountain says: "There is plenty of water in the reservoir and as long as the hat factories are not using any great quan- tity at present, why not keep the foun- tain running?"

The donor is better provided for in another place.

"FORBID A FOOL A THING AND THAT HE
WILL DO" DON'T USE
SAPOLIO <
A Moral Army.

(G A. SatG IN London TelegrGph)
One significant fact Is stated with regard to
the wonderful Army of the Potomac. These
legions were governed practically without cor
poral punishment nor, save in very few in
stances, when some peculiarly heinons ofense
against military law bad been committed, was
the punishment OF death inflicted. remember
when / was down with the Federal army in
Virginia seeing al the general Headquarters q
wretched creature, delinquent soldier, who,
under the grim guard of sentry, was sweep
ing all the refuse away and shoveling it into
baskets. He was to endure 80 many hours of
this humiliating drudgery for so many days, as
he had been guilty, so l was told, of some OK
ceptionally disgraceful crime. Now and again
some martinez commanding officer would ven-
ture upon q course OF procedure slightly anaio-
gous to bodily punishment. / have heard Of
offending soldiers being "spread- -eagled," that
is to say, tied by the wrists and ankles to the
wheels of gun or an ammunition wagon, and
left bare-headed for certain time to the blaz-
ing sun. But these certainly indefensible pun
isbments were very rarely resorted to.
Remembering that the use of the cat was
common in the British army during the Cri-
mean wsr. and that fogging in the army was
not totally abolished until the passing of the
Army Discipline act in April, 1881, and that
in the French army, although corporal punish
ment had long since disappeared from it. the
death penalty was frequently enforced, it can
scarcely have failed to strike an Onlooker with
astonishment that the American commanders
should have been able to preserve discipline
among the hundreds of thousands Of men serv-
ing under them without fogging them, and
without hanging or shooting them, in proper
tion even remotely approaching the infiction
of such extreme penalties in the French army.
1t must be remembered. moreover, that the
bluebellies comprised in their ranks an
astoundingly miscellaneous congregation of
humanity. There was, truly, very numer-
Gus element of sternly resolute. untlinchingly
energetic soldiers, who were fighting not only
for the unity of the Republic, but for con-
science sake, and would have regarded the
canse of the emancipation of the negro as q
kind of holy war. These practically, the
worthy descendants of the old Puritans, were
the leaven that gave life and vigor to the whole
Federal army.

IN CLOSE QUARTERS.
A Hunters Thrilling Adventure with an
Elephant.

A Hunters Thrilling Adventure with an
Elephant.
Youths Compamfor.l
An African explorer aud traveller who went
elephant hunting one night alone describes the
exciting duel in which he became involved.
He concealed himself in the middle of q natu.
raj causeway which crossed lake and was
just wide enough for an elephant to pass on
either side between him and the water. 1t was
a good place for observation bat not, as the
event proved, a favorable position for single
handed combat with an elephant.
Suddenly heard a noise like the discharge
of a volley of artillery, he writes, and / sup
posed it was from chariots approaching from
Kalahari. ] watched the wood from which the
sound came, and presently understood it,
An enormous elephant appeared. He was
followed by eight others. In the night mist
they looked even more huge than they were.
The leader walked towards me. knew that
j could not wound him severely until / could
aim at his shoulder. So / waited. When /
did take aim the gigantic animal seemed to
tower above me- and unluckily in raising my
gun / revealed my position. The elephant saw
me and charged upon me.
Flight was impossible; it was equally i'm
possible to kill my enemy. Tho only thing
could do was to sell my life dear j threw my
self on my back and, holding the butt end OF
my gun firmly against my shoulder, aimed at
the animals stomach and fred. at the same
time shouting at the top of my voice.
If had not moved from where was when
threw myself on my back, should not have
escaped for the elephant drove his enormous
tusk into the ground where / had been, and
broke the rocks as if they bad been chalk.
One of his huge feet grazed my face. was
entirely at his mercy, and expected to be torn
in pieces.
Instead of pursuing bis advantage. he turned
aud trotted away. Providence and my pres
ence OF mind had saved me. My shot and my
deafening shouts must have amazed the ele-
phant, and somewhat paralyzed his rage. The
other elephants followed him, and breathed
again.

and after the war could organize a fertiliz-
ing company and drive guano out of the
market
At another time, when looking around
inside the prison, he said:
"Why don't some of you Yanks try to
get out;
MY DOGS ARE HUNGRY TO BITE YOU.
] must get rid of you some way, and make
room for more Yanks. l will put them in
here 10 feet deep, if you don't run away or
die, or something's; am getting rid of more
Yanks than all the rebel army in the field"
(Which was fact, as statistics show that
more men died in prison than were killed at
the 'front.' 81 must have plenty room for
next Summer. / hoped and expected that
yellow jack would get in among you lastSum-
mer, but he will next, when there will not
be grease-spot left of all the Yanks in here in
three weeks. Oh, my nice little Anderson
vile, / laf7s when / dinks about you"
The first thing every morning the prison
srs were ordered to fall into line, and were
counted. This generally took an hour or
two; on several occasions we were kept
standing in ranks all day while the rebs
tried to make their count come ont right,
and agree with the number of rations that
they were issuing. On these occasions orders
we're given 10 the guards to shoot any pris-

AS the wood that could be picked up mo
axes were allowed) had been pretty well
cleaned up near the prison, we were Obliged
TO go over a mile before finding any. The
piece of wood that one man i'm our enfeebled
condition could carry that distance would
be small indeed nevertheless, this was all
we could get, and we had to he content.
The idea Of having fire to get warm by was
preposterous. Most of the time we had
none to cook with.
In order TO go on the wood squad we had
to wait our chance at the gate, and days
would often elapse ere anyone from our mess
would be Of the
LUCKY NUMBER.
1t was not unusual for prisoners TO have the
life crushed out of them while waiting for
chance to 90 for wood.
AT least one-third Of the prisoners had
absolutely nothing to draw or cook their ra-
tiOns in. These poor fellows, if the rations
were cooked, Immediately devoured them as
soon as received, and if raw, would trade
them for stuff that was cooked, which they
could generally do by paying large per-
centage for the exchange. If no one would
trade with them they would eat the meal
and beans as they were. Everything was
toll that came TO their mill; forever "snoop-
ing" around and eating stuff picked from
all sorts of places.
Someone suggested that a poultice of
meal and lye-water would probably be of
benefit for the gangrene cancer on my leg
/ could i'll afford the meal, but nevertheless
/ tried it, and it proved success. / used
the remedy for several days, changing the
poultice at ration-time each day, and throw
ing the old one away.
Every time when we drew moIasses a
young fellow in our mess would invariably
keep his rations until evening. When every
body else had devoured all the eatables that
they had, then he would turn his molasses
into half canteen and boil it leisurely over
the fire. The aroma from the cooking mo.
lasses TO hungry men was tantalizing in
the extreme, and by the time that he had
the stuff cooked to his satisfaction the bows
sitting around were about wild in their re-
grets that they had not saved their own.

s"s
4 plan, theoretically deserving entire SYM
pathy and practically deserving a fair trial,
has been put forth by a society known as the
Helping Hand Visitors Club" The idea is
this: There are many women living on farms
or in small towns who wonld be glad to have
someone come in to help them little with
their sewing or work. The busy housewife
could "catch up" or even gain little time,
and many probably would willingly grant an
honest girl her board and lodging for couple
of weeks in return for little help every day.
Again, in the large cities there are many tired
women, clerks, seamstresses, and Others, who
long to get away from the hot, dusty streets,
but who cannot afford to pay for board in the
country.
Here is chance for fair exchange This is
the object Of the society. Their Office is at Is
East Fourteenth street, New York. They re-
quest the names of any women who would care
to receive such visitors or of women who care
to avail themselves of the privileges. Then
they put them in communication with each
other.
The main point with which the society
will have TO contend is that there always will
be women who are inconsiderate Women as
bostesses will ask too much, or women as
guests will be willing TO give too little. But
there are many, many more women who will
be honest and kind to each other about the
transaction, and will be glad to help make life
more beautiful.

Some girls with heavy hair can do it up in this
way. 1t is fascinating style. and the curl
down the middle ofthe forehead is another pet
fad. The part in the hair is more to be desired
than ever. 1t is not often that the hair Is
combed straight back from the bang as the
third girl has hers. Her hair is In the
most graceful knot of the three, at tho nape of
the neck. This knot must be made long
rather than round. figure 8 is one way of ar
ranging it; the hair is coiled around in two
loops something like that figure. The lower the
hair is worn on the neck. the younger the face
looks. 1t is next to the braids and curls of
little girls in this respect. However, it il q
style perfectly suitable to women of any age
who have enough hair to make q knot of fair
