THE END.
Eating In south America.

While travelling in South America few
years ago was forced to eat number of
meals with q party of cart drivers In whose
company I was then travelling. One night
we encamped near a swamp, and our sup
per, which consisted Of sliced pumpkins
boiled with bits Of meat, was served In
genuine pampa fashion. One iron spoon
and two cows herns split in halves were
passed around the group, the members Of
which squatted upon their launches and
freely helped themselves from the kettle
Even in this most uncivilized form Of sat-
isfying hunger there Is rude form of eti-
quette which the most lowly peon invaria-
bly, observes. Each member of the COM
pany in turn dips his spoon or horn into
the center Of the stew and draws it In .
direct line toward him, never allowing 1t
to deviate to the right or left. In this way
each person eats without interfering with
his neighbor. Being ignorant Of this GUS
tom, dipped my horn into the mess at
random and fished about for some OF the
nice bits. My companions regarded this
breach Of politeness with scowls Of impa-
thence and declared that did not know
how to eat. I apologized as well as
could, and after being informed of their
custom ate In the prescribed fashion as
long as remained with them.-St Louis

The Guinea Worm.

The famous guinea worm is an inhab-
liant of the tropical regions of Asia and
Africa, existing in ponds, rivers and
swamps. 1t penetrates the skin Of any
portion of the human body without being
felt, and when once il finds lodgment
grows to an enormous length. The body
of the creature seldom exceeds in diameter
that of large pin, and IL inhabits the
flesh just beneath the skin. When full
grown, it Is not less than l2 feet I'm length,
and i'm order to accommodate itself must
wind several times around the legs or body.
Should the guinea worm find home un-
der tho human cuticle and grow TO large
size, there is danger Of modification set
tinc - when the parasite bursts, as IL is
SUI - do sooner or later. In order to
guard against an accident Of this oharac-
ter, great care Is exercised in extracting the
unwelcomc intruder. The skin Is opened
near one end of the creature and the body
pulled out and wrapped around small
round stick This stick is turned very
slowly for days, or even weeks, until the
entire worm has been extracted. = 81.

trace of war. Here and there a quaint
old house still stands, but the town is
full of the hustle of these rushing days.
All, but there was q trace of war after
all. Up in the cemetery skirted by the
Berryville pike found grave after grave
in which soldiers slept their last long
sleep, each name engraved on the stone,
and behind them the pitiful spot over
which all may sorrow, but no one weep

ian or Mrs. Baxter walked in the sun
shine. In the case OK the latter perhaps
it was better that her mind groped in
the darkness, and that it was months
before she could realize her widowhood.
General Custer kindly sent her on to
Washington for treatment, and for weeks
and weeks she kept calling out:
Ike said ed go fur help TO captur'
the Yankee, but he hain't dun come

Where is Uncle Ben? Gone to his
rest years ago, but he lived TO see the
end % the war and TO enjoy for sea-
son the haven of rest which kind hearts
created for him.
There was marriage in Winchester
about two months after the battle of
Rest Haven. They called it military
marriage, because more than so Federal
officers attended, because a Federal
chaplain oficiated, because Federal
band serenaded the happy couple. Who
do you think gave away the bridep Gen
eral Custer, who became a groom him
self only few days later. Royal Ken
ton had recovered from his wound, and
the keen edge of Marian's grief had
been somewhat dulled by lapse of time
and the excitement of her surroundings.
1t was better so. Kenton was not held
for exchange under the circumstances,
nor did any one wish him to become
renegade by joining the Federal sci vice.
After the marriage the bridal couple,
accompanied by Uncle Ben, went north
and there remained till the close of the
war. Steve Brayton was asked to GO
nay, almost communicative he replied:
See yere, Yank, I've bin thinkin and
thinkin, and make it out this way: /

Steve Brayton sat down beside him and
bathed his face with whisky and gave
him to drink. The captain had recog-
nized him at once, but it was several
minutes before he queried:
"You and Kenton were in the fight
at Haffisenburg and were captured.
How came you here?"

The captain shook bis head and closed
his eyes. Steve moved away after a few
minutes to look for other Confederate
wounded, and two hours later the off,
GERS dead body was carried out with
others to make room for the wounded.
When morning came and the dead
were gathered for burial, Steve Brayton
found many that he could identify. In
deed full half of his own company
bad been wiped out, and among them
was Ike Baxter. But great as was the
Confederate loss, that of the Federals
was severe. History has said of that
first real cavalry fight of the war that
II was terribly brief in duration and ap-
palling in it's list Of dead and wounded.
1t was almost night of the day follow

erals moved off and left the field. And
how changed was Rest Haven, and what
misnomer the title which had been
given to IL in the years of peace! Gin

by shot and shell and hoof, Its snow
