HOW GRANT BECAME A SMOKER.
An Incident That Caused the General to Be
Overwhelmed With Cigars.

An Incident That Caused the General to Be
Overwhelmed With Cigars.
''My father" said Colonel Grant,
''tried to smoke while at West Point,
but only because it was against the reg,
| ulations, and then he didn't succeed
very well at it. He really got the habit
from smoking light cigars and cigarettes
during the Mexican war, but it wash t
a fixed habit. When he left the army
and lived in the country, he smoked a
pipe-not necessarily. 1 don't think
that he was very fond of tobacco then,
and-really there was always a popular
misconception of the amount of his
smoking But he went on as light
smoker, a casual smoker until the day
of the fall of Fort Donelson. Then the
gunboats having been worsted some
what, and Admiral Foote having been
wounded, he sent ashore for my father
to come and see him. Father went
aboard, and the admiral, as is custom.
airy, had his cigars passed. My father
took one and was smoking it when he
went ashore There he was met by a
staff officer, who told him that there
was a sortie, and the right wing had
been struck and smashed in Then my
father started for the scene of opera
tions. He let his cigar go out naturally,
but held it between his fingers. He rode
hither and yon, giving orders and direc-
tions, still with the cigar stump in his
hand.
''The result of his exertions was that
Fort Donelson fell after he sent his mes
sage of unconditional surrender, and
L propose to move Immediately Upon
your works With the message was
sent all over the country the news that
Grant was smoking throughout the bat
tie when he only had carried this stump
from Foote'S flagship. But the cigars
began to come in from all over the I'm
ion. He had II, 900 cigars on hand in a
very short time. He gave away all he
could, but he was so surrounded with
cigars that he got to smoking them reg
ularly, but he never smoked as much as
he seemed to smoke He would light
cigar after breakfast and let it go out,
and then light it again, and then again
let it go out and light it, SO that the
one cigar would last until lunchtime.

Frederick D. Grant About His Father

Microbes Carried by Bull cts.

Some interesting experiments were
lately made by DIR. Mesmer, says the
London News, by way Of solving the
question whether or not rife bullets
are liable TO carry Infection with them
in their curse Of entry into the body.
He made his trial with bullets which
had been infected with germs OF a
particular kind. and the infected bull
lets were shot into tin boxes from dis
tances varying from 225 to $50 metres
"A metre being nearly 3 feet 3 81
inches. Inside the boxes were placed
gelatine peptone in sterilized or germ
less condition. so that whatever germ
developments were found III the pep
tone (Which is a great growing medium
for microbes) would be presumed to
have come from the bullets. The
tracks of the bullets through the gela-
tine were duly scrutinized, with the
result that in each case germ growth
took place corresponding TO the par
ticular microbes with which the bull
lets had been respectively infected.
In another series Of Investigations
the bullets were made to pass through
infected flannel before penetrating
the gelatine, the bullets being of the
ordinary kind. Here, again, microbic
growths appeared in the gelatine,
showing hat the flannel had yielded
I'D its microbes to the bullets as they
traversed il. II non-infected and or
binary bullets were used, the gelatine
developed only the ordinary germ life,
such as the air contains. The bullet
is, therefore. a germ ,cagrier Of very
decided kind, and il is also clear that
il clothing is penetrated by a bullet
prior to its entrance into the tissues,
the missile will be liable 60 carry into
the wound it makes the bacteria resi-
dent on the clothes.

a CURIOUS INQUIRY.
Do Mems Faces Grow to Resemble
Those Of Other Animals.

There is a very curious point con-
nected with the more pronounced
animal faces-namely, those in charge
OF animals grow 10 be like them.
Thus, a hostler in charge of tramway
horse type Of head, growing day by
day more like his horses. Men in
charge OF cattle on the farm become
essentially bovine. and in Shropshire
il has often been remarked that the
sheep-breeders resemble their own
ans. | cannot explain these singu-
larities, which, however, sre wholly
or partly true.
The sheep type Of man is not in
dicative of great intelligence, and it
is usually found in remote agricul-
tural districts. The bulldog char
acters III man denote courage with
out refinement, but in the case Of a
lady-ridiculously like her favorite
pug dog-with nez r~etrousse. the re-
finement was not wanting. The

both, as the head only appears at the
surface Of the water. have seen a
comfortable looking bear man in the
train, and a wizened, bat-faced old
woman once in Brittany.
These are examples that might
easily be multiplied a hundredfold
were it not for the monotony Of reit-
Grafton. 1t is not without interest
to remark that there is a work ex-
tant, dating a couple Of hundred
years back. which deals with this very
subject. The writer was a Professor
at Padua the treatise is in Italian,
or possibly Latin, and many curious
woodcuts illustrate the work, giving
the various facial angles of man and
beast, according TO strict measure
ment.
For my part, ! do not profess to eX-
plain the strange resemblance between
man and the inferior brute creation (;
it is enough 10 note the fact. Were
II a Buddhist priest commenting on
these things. he might explain the
tenets Of TRANSPORTATION Of souls.
At Colombo | once observed a yellow
robed priest leave the footpath in
order TO avoid crushing the life out Of
some venomous ants crossing the road.
1t would have been a sin for him to
kill any living thing, for who
knows" he would say. what i'm
mortal spirits might be imprisoned in
each lowly body?"
Such a one might build a pretty
theory upon the subject Of these cas-
ual resemblances between man and
beast, fish and bird. Each existence
might be the foreshadowing Of the one
to come. or the reflection Of one which
had passed away. The series of lives,
he would argue. exhibit the evolution
of the spirit working out q certain
destiny through untold ages, gradu-
ally approaching that refinement Of
spiritual existence when the contem-
plation of the Nirvana should be as
sured to each spirit entity in the
realms of eternal bliss. l~ietrogres-
sion in this scheme, | presume, would
mean extinction when the atoms Of
matter are lost i'm the whirl Of astral
