"At Gettysburg. while the fight was
the hottest, " said General Gordon, II

Ger, whose bravery was conspicuous.
After the battle had subsidized / found this
gallant soldier lying on the field. He
was dying and begged me to send a
message to the Union lines. His wife
had decided to share with him the for
tunes of war and was at the officers
quarters in the Federal army.

ed officer to our camp and to make him
as comfortable as possible. Then sent
some men with flag of truce to the
Union lines with the message from the
dying officer to his wife
Late that night the party returned.

and his young wife was the most affect

II was compelled to go elsewhere,
but before left the sorrowing couple !

finals, is extremely surly and spiteful if
disturbed in the daytime. Ii is as large

coloring is extremely brilliant for a

deep chestnut on its back, light chest

dull pale gray.
The wide parachute membrane be-
tween its legs is covered with fur, and
its tail is long. thickly furred and
round. This squirrel does not Fly" in
the proper sense of the word. but in the
forests its parachute membrane answers
its purpose almost equally as well as
wings. 1t runs with wonderful agil-
ity up the trunk of the tree, and TO the
end of q branch, and then takes flying
leap, with its limbs extended to the ut
most and the wide flesh membrane
stretched.

why This Headline So Often Appears In
the Daily Newspapers
1t is an odd trait in human nature
that a man who has been ordered by his
physician to take paregoric will never
take it if there is any carbolic acid or
prussia acid in the house that no can
absorb in preference
Statisticians who have studied the
thing declare that an invalid will search
the whole house for poisonous drug
and drink it rather than the medicine
ordered by the doctor. The death no
tees in the newspapers in cases OF that
kind are generally headed, Took the
Wrong Medicine.
A man arrived at his home tho other
evening, and glancing ON the bureau
saw a bottle of liquid that he had been
ordered by the doctor to take.
''That looks like tho stuff, " said he,
"but I'm not sure. AS l was locking up
the cellar saw behind an old shelf
blue bottle that looked as if it hadn't
been touched for years. 1t said on it,
'Sulphuric Acid. Now that bottle on
the table looks exactly like the one
drank out of last night. but still | have
an idea that the stuff down in the cellar
is what the doctor means for me.
don't know how the dickens it got down
there when it's meant for me TO take.
or how this bottle that isn't meant for
me to take got on this bureau. But I'm
not going to take any chances. I'll just
60 down into the cellar and make sure,
and I'll throw this stuff ont Of the win
dow.
Then he cautiously went down stairs
and took the sulphuric acid, and he
was buried in due form after an ambu-
lance surgeon had done his best ana the
coroner's physician had made a COM
plete investigation and autopsy.
1t isn't only children who make these
plumbers. Doctors will tell you that they
have only to label bottle Lotion, For
External Application Only, to make
sure of its being drunk. If a patient
gets bottle of corrosive sublimate to
put on a felon OH his great toe and
doesn't use it all, he will carefully save
it. Ten years afterward doctor gives
some cough mixture TO him, and then no
goes and hunts up the corrosive subli-
mate bottle, plays three card monte with
it and the cough mixture, gets them
thoroughly mixed up so that he can t tell
one from the other, and then when he
feels that tightness across the chest that
the doctor told him about he swallows
part of the corrosive sublimate and
leaves his widow to collect the life
insurance. BY no accident is the cough
mixture ever taken--it is always the
corrosive sublimate. New York Her

CURIOUS WEDDING CUSTOMS.
Some Odd Phases of Social Life In North
ern Michigan.


Michigan.
Many curious customs are in vogue
among the foreign population of north
ern Michigan, especially in social mat
tiers. When French couple get mar
ried, carriage or sleigh ride is in
evitable, according to the season of the
year. The couples are not packed to-
gether in one wagon or sleigh, but each
fellow and his girl have an individual
rig, the bride and groom taking the lead
and the others following like funeral
procession, but there is nothing funereal
about it. especially the pace set. After
the procession has been riding for hours,
q dance ends the festivities.
The Polanders have a curious we'd
ding custom that is very ingenious as q
money getter, and takes the place of
wedding presents After the wedding
feast follows a dance that sometimes
lasts 10 to IA hours, and even longer
The chief honor is to dance with tho
bride, and this is decided in curious
manner. The mother of the bride takes
her place in one corner with plate in
her lap, which she takes very good care
shall be built after the plan of an eat
ing house coffee cup. The gallant who
wants to dance with the bride, and all
are in honor bound to do SO at least
once, must pull out piece of silver and
endeavor to chip or break the plate by
throwing their money upon it, and only
those who succeed in chipping or break
ing the plate are allowed the coveted
honor Let those who think it easy TO
break an ironstone plate try it. Few
succeed in doing it for less than 30
cents, and it is not an unusual thing for
the brides money to amount up to $50
or 500, even where the crowd is ar
parently as poor as church mouse. and
it may 60 even higher when the bride is
pretty and popular. All the money goes
to the bride, and in a backwoods coun
try $50 to $50 will start a happy couple
