Grim Humor Of the Camp.

The grim humor Of the camp waged
eternal warfare on the general de-
spondency, said General Gordon. On
one occasion prayer meeting was
held in camp, and one of the soldiers
was called on to pray. ooh, Lord"
he said, "we are in the midst of o ter
rible battle, and in an awful lot Of
trouble. We hope you will take o
proper view of the matter and give us
the victory"
In the midst of q battle the general
saw a man running from very close
situation. "What are You running
for?" demanded the disguised general,
in a stern voice. "Golly, general !"
said the fleeing man, "I'm running be-
cause can't fly"
General Gordon also told an inter-
esting story of how it happened that o
Federal soldier bore the last order
that he ever sent to his men. "But,
he added, humorously, Il had to send
private Confederate along to vouch
for his veracity."

dug, at first 80 small as to contain
only so or go bodies each, but after
ward they reached proportions sufli-
Client to accommodate over 1000
corpses each, The pits were gener-
ally dug down to the water and into
these the rich and poor, the innocent
child and the hoary reprobate were
flung. There were no prayers, no
friends to weep last farewell; only
hired bearers attended each commit
ment to earth. The dead carts went
their dreary rounds by night, accom-
panied by man ringing a bell, who
called out as he passed the infected
houses, Bring out your dead" Then
the bodies were piled on the carts
and were taken to common burial
ground.
And yet amid all this the deprav-
ity of human nature blossomed. The
living were robbed by hireling nurses;
the dead we're stripped OF the linen
enshrouding their bodies; nay, what
is more horrible by far, nurses after
robblng killed the unhappy creatures
committed to their care that they
might hasten elsewhere to pillage
and to murder From the middle Of
August to the middle of October the
plague was at It's height. In these
two months there persisted of the
plague 40, 705. The most fatal week
was that between the 18th and 10Th
of September, when there died Of all
diseases 1921, of whom 1856 were
killed by the plague. The entire
mortality during the prevalence Of
the epidemic, which did not entirely
die out until winter, was nearly 100, :
900.
A violent fever, ending either in
death or in an eruption of in1amma-
tory tumors, generally marked each
case of the plague. II the tumors

said the Captain, "who never lost an
opportunity of contributing to the pre-
varicatory literature of the day. There
was nothing boastful about him at all
no attempt to claim credit for ex-
traordinary deeds-but just an irresist-
ible inclination to tell big stories in
the quitest manner possible, and with
an air of seriousness that caused his
auditors to look at him twice to dis
cover possible signs Of lack of mental
balance. At Fair Oaks my command

trip.
The railroad will be $4,000 feet
long, and for power and lighting pur-
poses electricity will be employed
throughout The falls Of the Luet-
schine River and the Truemmel
stream are to furnish the power for
electrical engines.
Work will be started in the spring.
The engineers hope to finish the rail-
road to Station Eiger within two
years. In the summer of 1898 Amer
lean tourists will be able to reach the
summit of the Jungfrau, as NJ. Guyer-
Zeller says, In true United States
fashion, by elevator. The cost Of the
undertaking is estimated at about
50, 000, 600.
The first great mountain railroad
constructed in the Alps was that to
Mont Cents, 6,775 feet above the sea,
finished in 1865. Then followed the
Right Culm Railroad, finished six
years later, and finally the Zermatt
railway, which was thrown open to
travel in the summer of 1891. The
latter is twenty-five miles in length.
The locomotives CD these railways,
which are fed by coal, are Of 105
horse power, and travel at the rate
of 16, 900 feet per hour. These roads
are also constructed on the rack sys-

PInn of Ascent.

The Jungrrau, the magnificent
snow-covered peak Of the Bernese
Alps, is soon to be reached by rail.
The European bourses are selling the
stock of a projected Jung'rau rail-
way, for which M. Guyer-Zeller, OF
Zurich, the principal owner Of the
great Northeast Railway, has just re-
ceived a concession" by the Swiss
Federal Council.
The Jungfrau is situated on the
boundary line Of the Cantons Berne
and Valois. Its height is 10, 671 feet,
200 feet less than that Of Mont Blanc,
the giant among the mountains Of
Europe. In 1890 project to reach
the summit by rail was launched, but
the plans were not feasible. The
present plan is to start the road on
the Scheideck Mountain (Wengern
Alp, some six thousand feet above
the sea. The rack system Of railroad
ing, which is employed by the Mont
Cents, Right and Zermatt Railways
most successfully, will be used in
pulling up the cars to the Jungfrau,
being REINFORCED by electricity. The
rack engine, as the illustration
shows, has a boiler of the vertical
order, and four cylinders, the outer
pair of which are connected with
wheels running on ordinary rails,
while the inner pair operate a CEN

Do Flying Fish FIy9

A very common error made In nat
ural histories where this fish Is mem
toned Is that it does not fly. ats
supposed flight Is nothing more than
a prolonged leap; 1t cannot deviate
from stright line, and cannot rise
second time without entering the
water" This, briefly, is the sort Of
thing one meets with In textbooks
where reference is made to this fish.
The simplest way Of dealing with
it Is the professors method of an
sweling the query Of the French
Academy whether their definition Of
a crab was correct The story is SO
we'll known that 1t does not need
repetition. AS the result of personal
observation extending over good
many years, / assert that the exocetus
does fly.
have often seen flying fish rise
200 yards off, describe a semi-circle,
and, meeting the ship, rise twenty
feet in the air perpendicularly, at the
same time darting off at right angles
to its previous course. Then, after
another long fight, when just about
to enter the water, the gaping jaws
OF a dolphin emerging from the sea
gave it pause and it rose again, re-
turning almost directly upon its
former course This procedure is so
common that it Is marvel it is not
more widely known.
A flying fish of mature size can fly
1000 yards. 1t does not flap its fms
as a bird, but they vibrate, like the
wings of an insect, with distinct
hum. The only thing which termin-
ates flight voluntarily is the drying
of its din membranes and their conse.
ouent stlffening.

ripe for an epidemic. 1t had a popu-
latlon of nearly 500, 900, and the ma
jorlty Of the people were badly
housed. The city was built mainly
Of wood and plaster The streets
were narrow, badly paved worse
drained, and never cleaned. Under
the very windows of the palaces the
streets reeked With unspeakable
abomination. In December, 1864,
the first case Of the epidemic oc-
CURED, but 1t was not until the fol-
lowing June that the people realized
their perilous position and the horri-
bic nature of the disease, In the
second week Of June 1870 deaths oc-
Cured. A sudden panic swept over
the city. The royal court fled to Ok
ford and thousands left the city as IL
fleeing from a charnal house.
BY August the city was at the
mercy Of the plague. Business was
at a standstlll. Streets once thronged
were as quiet and deserted as the
grave, and whole rows Of houses were
shut up, their occupants having fled.
AS soon as the disease was known to
be present in any dwelling the house
was shut up and marked In the mid
die Of the door with a red cross a
foot long, AMI above 1t the printed
words, "Lord have mercy upon us. !"
No one was suffered to leave the
smitten house unless it was to go to
the pest house, The authorities en-
deavored in every manner to Isolate
the infected, and those who in any
way had come in contact with them
were required to carry red wand
before them while travelling the
streets The dealers in the necessa-
ries of life-all other traffic was sus-
pended-receiyed the money from
their customers in disinfectants.
People were afraid to speak to their
best friends, and walked in the mid
die Of the streets lest they should
come in contact with others leaving
their homes. All domestic animals
were banished from the city, beggars
were not allowed to frequent the
streets, and all games that might
draw a crowd were forbidden,

Sugar at Retail.

Grocers everywhere assert that
there is little or no profit in retailing
sugars, and housekeepers confirm this
by saying that there is small econo-
my in buying sugar by the keg. The
tradition touching the small profit in
handling sugar at retail is certainly
more than 100 years old, for a writer
in the middle of last century affirmed
that London grocers of that day were
often out eco to 970 year for paper
and packthread used in wrapping up
sugar, and some grocers would not
sell sugar to a customer who did not
at the same time purchase some other
article. Chicago Herald.
