Writing With Milk.

In the course of trial in France a let
ter was read from man named Turp!n,
q chemist, under sentence of five years
imprisonment as spy, giving directions
to q friend, with view to establishing a
secret correspondence with him while in
prison. This led to an Off cial inquiry on
the subject by tho French authorities, and
some strange revelations were obtained
from some of the convicts.
1t appears that when information has
to DO conveyed to n prisoner formal let
ter, containing apparently nothing but a
few trivial facts }af a personal nature, is
forwarded to the prison. This is read by
the governor, who stamps 1t and allows it
to be handed to the man to whom it is ad-
dressed. The latter is aware, however,
that there is another letter to be read
within the lines, this being written in
milk and being easily decipherable on
being rubbed over with dirty finger

One day the Dake of wellington's French cook
came to him for orders.
"Oh. get anything" said the Duke. impatiently:

The chef was Mortified. Whether Wellington

care what they eat soon find themselves unable to

stomachs 20 on strike. Natural digestion ceases.
What is to be done, then? One cannot live
without eating. The only possible help isin pre-

BOVDIiCH. WEBSTER I CT
SHERMAN in THE feLn
He Was q Light Sleeper, and His Living
Was Simplicity ITSELF

On the march and in the camp Sher-
mans life was simplicity itself. He had
few brilliantly uniformed and useless aids
about him. The simple tent fly" was
his usual headquarters, and under 1t all
his military family ate together. His dis
patches he wrote mostly with his own
hand. He had little use for clerks. But
Dayton, his adjutant general was better
than regiment of clerks. When we halt
ed somewhere in the woods for tho night,
the general was the busiest man In tho
army. While others slept his little camp
fire was burning, and often In the long
vigils of tho night have seen tnll form
walking up and down by that fire. ~ Sher-
man himself slept but little. He did not
seem to need sleep, and have known him
to stay but two hours in bed many a night.
In later years slight asthma made much
sleep impossible for him. After the war,
when was at his home in St. Louis, he
seldom retired till 10 or l O'Clock. Itwas
often rs late, too on this march. -''
1t was singularly impressive sight to
see this solitary figure walking there by
the Pickering campfire while the army
slept. If q gun went off somewhere In the
distance, or If an unusual noise were
heard, he would instantly call one Of us to
go and find out what it meant. He paid
small attention to appearances, to dress
almost none.
'There Is going to be q battle today
sure said Colonel Audenreid Of the staff
ono morning before daylight.
"How do you know" asked a comrade
why, don't you seer The general is
up there by the fire putting ON a clean
collar. The signs dead sure"

Quite number of the respectable peo-
pie in Alabama think it proper for the Uni
ted States Senate to investigate and ascer-
tain why one county cast twice as many
votes as it had registered voters. The cleo
ton policy of white man against negro is
now being employed in white against white
and consequently there's lot of squirming.
Out of it there may come solution of
the negro problem. Wrongs are rigbted
in an unexpected manner sometimes. For
the past 80 years the white man of the
South has been training up his curse, cor
rupt election methods, and now finds the
people destitute of respect for the ballot
box. Ballots are of no account and the
threatening alternative is bullets with white
men doing all the shooting. 1t certainly is
to be hoped that this can be avoided but
there's got to come moral change in the
people and the teachings and practices of
years must be swept away.

what they are saying they have anticipated

We publish this morning an abstract of
the first report under the Maine law relating
to vital statistics. The registrar, DR.. A. G.
Young, the efficient secretary for the State
board of health, has in this report demon
strated his eminent qualifications for his new
position. There were almost insurmount-
able obstacles in the way of getting COM
plete report for the first time, but the
thoroughness with which statistics have been
collected from every part of the State, the
exhaustive methods of comparison and
tabulstion assuredly give to the deductions
obtained greater weight than could have
been hoped at the beginning. Certainly the
facts brought out in this report are very
favorable to the State and prove beyond
cavil all the claims heretofore made as to it's
hea'thfulness. In the year 1892 the death
rate from influenza was large and material
ly affected the death-rate of the State.
Despite this fact the rate compares very
favorably with other states. The facts
demonstrate very conclusively that dis
eases of the respiratory organs cannot
be attributed to the geographical position
of any state and the death rate from in
fantile diseases is also favorable to Maine.
The statistics relating to deaths from drink
ing Intoxicating liquors, although neces-
sarily incomplete in this particular, are de-
cidedly favorable to Maine and her laws.
The value of such q work must be, we
think, apparent to all. Indeed the only
question which may arise is that the law
was not soouer passed
