Experimental Soldiers.

The experiments which have been in
progress for several years seem to
have proved that the North American
Indian does not have in him the making
OF first-class soldier, and accordingly
the few Indians now in the service of
the army are to be mus tered out. The
trial was worth making, even if it has
not turned out as well as was expected.
The nature of the Indian makes him
unwilling to submit to discipline and
routine, and those who enlisted as SOL
diers soon lost their interest, and some
of them became extremely insubordi-
nate when attempts to enforce regula-
lions were put forth. While Indians
render excellent service as guides
and scouts, it appears impossible to
make good soldiers of them and, unfort-
unately, little interest in the matter is
felt in the war department.-NeW York
Tribune.

Vicksburg's First Shot in the War.

During the early days of 1861, time
of intense excitement, when secession
and war were in immediate prospect, it
was reported that steamboat was COM
ing down the Mississippi, laden with
arms and ammunition, en- route for
New Orleans to supply the garrison
and forts near the city. The news was
telegraphed from Vicksburg to Jackson
and Governor Peitus ordered Captain
Frank Kerr's artillery company (Which
had been organized only few weeks
previously to Vicksburg. The COM
pany had no guns, but came on to
Vicksburg on the first available train
over the old Vick> burg and Jackson
railroad. Captain Kerr and his COM
pany found four pound cannon here
belonging to the city, and planted it at
a commanding point on Fort Hill near
the river. la due time the expected
steamboat hove in sight, and not know
ing that grim visaged war" was so
imminent, the captain OF The steamer
paid no attention to blank cartridge
that was fired. Captain Kerr ordered
his artillerymen 10 put in cannon ball
along with the next load of powder,
and gave the order to fire. Martin
Haverstraw. native of Germany who
was with the company, and claimed to
have fired the gun, told the boys in
| Jackson on his return that he did so
with reluctance and prayed that God
would forgive him in the event any one
was killed. The cannon ball struck
near enough to the steamboat to alarm
its commander, and he started the yes
sci to more in order TO ascertain what
was the matter. He was met by Cap
tain Kerr and a crowd of excited cili-
zens of Vicksburg, who told him that
they thought he had arms and ammuni-
ton on board, and that he must sur
render the war material. 1t turned
out, however. that the steamboat was
making an ordinary business trip, and
was laden with western produce, and
she was allowed to proceed without fur
Their molestaiion. Captain Kerr and
his company returned TO Jackson, and
were heroes for few brief days only,
because far more exciting and import
ant events followed thick and fast, and
the firing of the first gun at passing
steamboat was soon forgotten.-J tckS-

A Wheatfield on a Lake.

In the island Of Corsica, near the head
waters of the little stream dignifed with
The name of Favignano river, and about %
niles from the village of Corte, there is
70 acre field which is simply subterranean
AXE covered with soil to the depth of about
Is inches. Last year field of wheat was
cultivated upon this odd piece of soil
which yielded 80 bushels to the acre A
person of curious turn of mind who wishes
to investigate for himself and who will
take the trouble to dig a hole spade ham
die length or more in depth will find that
he has dug entirely through the covering
of soil to the surface of the lake, which re-
peated soundings prove to be from % to so
feet in depth. Through the opening thus
made fish may be caught which have nei-
ther eyes nor scales.
The soil covering Of this curious subter-
ranean lake is black mari made up of
centuries of accumulations of vegetable
matter. All work in this unique field must
Of necessity be done by hand, the soil not
being of sufficient strength or thickness to
bear the weight of horses and machinery

known to everybody on the island,

Possessing Orchids.

Rare specimens of orchids which are
sought for in distant lands and subjected
to all the risks of importation are not
cheap. Several years ago an English col
lector, Baron Schroeder, paid dSer 81 900
for single specimenof Cypripedium stonei,
a native of Borneo. Although possessing
several specimens of this species, the ardent
collector was anxious to keep the dealers
from obtaining possession of it, and thus
paid so extravagant a sum to hold it all his
own. There are many orchid enthusiasts
who have longed in vain for the possession
of flower they consider beyond their reach,
a common and erroneous idea being that
these superb beauties of the tropical and
semitropical world are the luxury of the
very rich, that they only flourish in houses
built specially for them and in tempera-
ture akin to that of Turkish bath, and
that they require the constant supervision
of gardener skilled in their culture

Good Example Followed.

Massachusetts has followed New
York in passing at the last legislative
session an act setting apart suitably
furnished room or rooms in the state
house at Boston for the use of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
rooms will be under the charge of the
department commander of the Grand
Army OF the Republic of the depart
ment of Massachusetts and his success
sors in office, and will be used by the
department commander for the purpose
of headquarters and for storage of sup
plies and property of the department,
relics and mementoes of the war and
preserving the history of individuals
who served in the army, navy or ma
rine corps during the war of the re-
bellion. Boston Journal.

Clever Spiders.

took large spider from his web under
Che basement of mill, put him on chip
of wood and set him ahoat on the quiet
waters of the pond. He walked all about
the sides of his bark, surveying the stua-
ton very carefully, and when the fact that
he was really alloat and about "a yard from
shore seemed to be fully comprehended he
looked out for the nearest land.
This point fairly settled upon, he imme-
diately began to cast web for it. He
threw it as far us possible in the air and
with the wind. 1t soon reached the shore
and made fast to the spires of grass Then
he turned himself about and in true sailor
fashion began to haul in hand over hand
on his cable. Carefully he drew upon it
until his bark began to move toward shore.
AS it moved the faster, he the faster drew
upon it to keep his hawser taut and from
touching the water. Very soon he reached
the shore, and quickly leaping to terra
frma sped his way homeward.
Thinking that he might be special ex
pert and an exception in that line of boat
manship to the rest of his companions,
tried several of them. They all came to
shore in like manner.-N y. AdUertiser.

Contempt for Comfort.

Mr.. Selous, the distinguished hunter and
explorer, is in England, and has been tell
ing something of his methods when in the
wilds of Africa. How little he has ever
cared for personal comfort may be gathered
from the remark that he never thought of
taking any sort of conveyance, even to the
extent of "A hammock for ease by day or
rest at night and would not be encountered
by tent. For weeks together, year after
year, he slept on the ground, covered only
by something in the shape of a blanket
Asked if there were no reptiles to disturb
repose under such conditions, Mr.. Selous
replied that, although venomous snakes
were to be found bites from them were
very rare, and in all his experience he had
never known anybody, either native or
European, killed by a snake bite i'll Ma
shonaland IN fact" he said, you run
more risk of being killed by an omnibus in
London streets than we do by venomous
snakes in those African forests. "-Londo'

SOLDIERS BUDGET,
The Presidential Salute.

l have often wondered why the recop-
nlzed presidential salute is 81 guns, and
thinking that an explanation of the Same
might interest your readers looked Tho
matter up, with the following result
quotation from Hanson's Facts and
Fancies;" The United States national sa-
lutte is a gun for each state; for the pres
dent 81 guns, II for the vice president, Is
for cabinet officers, governors, etc. Origi-
nally the president was saluted with as
many guns as there were states in the
Union. This idea was finally abandoned in
the year 1919, when there were exactly 81
states, the commissioners deciding that
hereafter q guns shall be the national

IN GENERAL.
A Tribute to the Sheayes.

All day the reapers on the hill
Have piled their task with sturdy will
But now the field is void and still;
And, wandering thither, have found
The bearded spears In sheaves well bound,
And stacked in many golden mound.
And while cool evening suavely grows,
And DER the sunsets dying rose
The first great white star throbs and CLOVIS,
And from the clear east, red Of glare,
The ascendant harvest moon floats fair
Through dreamy deeps and purple air,
And in among the slanted sheaves
A tender light its glamour weaves,
A lovely light that lures, deceives-
Then swayed by Fancy's dear command,
Amid the past seem to stand,
In hallowed Bethlehems harvest land
And through the dim field, vague described
homeward host of shadows glide,
And sickles CLEAN on every side
Shadows of man and maid trace
With shapes of strength and shapes of grace,
Yet gaze but en- single face
A candid brow, still smooth with youth;
A tranquil smile; a mien of truth
The patient star-eyed cleaner. Ruth

Art in a Violin.

The most cunning art, as well as the high
est scientific use to which wood can be
twisted, turned, wreathed, warped or carved
is when fashioned into an ideal violin. The
bits of timber can be carried in an overcoat
pocket, and II jackknife, with no mean cut
ting edge, might be made to do wonders at
completing.
Unlike other and often more costly mu
steal instruments, the violin improves with
age and grows younger and sweeter with
each added year of its singing life.

A DRAFT of the new tariff bill is said
to have been submitted to the President
1t provides for free wool, free iron ore,
and greatly reduced duty on iron, steel
and glass. This is coming right home
to the people of Ohio and striking
directly at our most important industries.
Then they propose to put tariff on
coffee, sugar and tea, which, being a
strict revenue tariff, the consumer will,
of course, have to pay. Reader, will you
vote next Tuesday to endorse the course
of a party that proposes to break down
home producers and make you pay more
for what you buy from foreign pro-
ducers? If not, rebuke that party by
voting for Mckinley.

A STRIKING v1NDICATIoN.

Pittsburgh Times.
The report of the United States Consul,
Anthony Howells, (Democrat) of Cardiff,
as to the shipment of Welsh tin plate to
this country during the nine months
ending September 80, 1893, as compared
with similar statements for 1891 and
1892, affords another of the many strik-
ing evidences of the falsity of the Dem
ocratic attacks on the American tin
plate tariff. The additional duty i'm.
posed by the Mckinley bill did not 90
into effect until July l, 1891, and nearly
all the tin plate imported that year was
brought in before that date. For the
nine months ending September 80, 1892,
the Welsh exports to this country were
284,316 tons, valued at $77.52 per ton.
For the same months ih 1882 they were
212,24l tons, valued at $6442 per ton.
and in 1898 the figures were 2I4.527
tons. valued at $6587. These figures
show a reduction in value at the ship
ping points in Wales equal to one half
of the additional duty imposed by the
Mckinley bill-all of which it has been
claimed the American customer has had
10 pay.
