81 was on the losing side during the

party of vets who were fighting their bat
ties over agsin in the corridors of the
Southern. 81 belonged to Mississippi

us expected to return home with at least
= d zen Yankee scaips dangling at his
belt Our orators had led us to b. lieve
that all we had to do was to show our
salre and the Yanks would break for tall
timber. Our colonel was a planter and
small frv pohtician who had never seen a
real live Yankee, ana ne fully expected to
plant our regimental culors on the dome
of the national cartol before we mad been
cut a month. We were eager for the fray.
Just before Grant invested Donelson
we encountered scouting party of Mich
iganders. They numbered only about
forty ami the colonel took the company
head them off. They made a nasty
scamrer for a brush field that was sur
rounded py a rail fence and we broke
ranks and lit out after them in go-as-

wanted Yankee ana realized that there
mounte the fence we received volley
that laid a score of men Out. Before we
could recover from our surprise those
Michiganders were over the fence and at

shooters. We concluded that we had
made mistake-that We didn't want any
Yankees after all.
The colonel was the first man back
to camp. Half his left ear had been shot
away and he had an ugly saber cash in
his shoulder. | helped the surgeon fix
him up, and after we had made him

| But perpetual war is being waged in
the German capital, and ths funds of the
! fighters are verv small. 1t is the war of
the Salvation Army soldiers.
The people of nearly every city in the
world are familiar with the men and
| women OF this brigade and their work,
| but the branches of the army quarters
here bave harder task than at any other
place IN the universe. Strange and diff
cult conditions are encountered and to
overcome them the work is conducted on
unique lines.
Compared with London, Paris New
York and other large cities, the Salvation
lists have met with less success in Berlin
than IN any of the other metropolitan
centers. Eight years ago General Booth
established the first corps of his army
on German soil, and ever since then mis-
soldiers have met with ii chilling recep-
ton. The fact that nearly all the Off GERS
located in Berlin are English SHOWS bet
ter than anything else that the German
CONSIDERS himself beyond the need of The
peculiar kind of salvation dis.Iib lted by
the LAOS and lassies of the hallelujah
brigaoe.
The latest statistics of the army show
that it is firmly established in thirty ma
tions; that it nun beis 3l3i separate corps
and has II SO officers and privates by the
hundreds OF thousands. Throughout tho
world it has established II eating and
lodging houses, 81 warehouses; and man
ufacIories, homes for women rescued
from the streets, 800 EN- ployment bureaus,
II homes tor discharged conviots, farm
colonies for poor families and 3 homes for
abandoned children.
But if the enthusiasm in the rest of the
world were proportionately as small as
III Berlin this list would suffer vast
shriukage. In seeking the cause OF this
it is not necessary to lonk much beyond
the unbreaka bic clause in the regulations
OF the army, which demands an oath of
alb dilute Temperance. Now, the average
German is not going to give up his beer
without a severe struggle, and with beer
on one side of he fence and the Saliva
ton Army on the other, he clings to the
b er side with loving loyalty. If the con-
titution of the army were revised so that
beer drinking would not be barrier to
admission, its ranks in Germany would
be sensihly increase . There is little hope
of this, however although the neadquar-
tiers on Butcher place are decorated with

ODD SUPERSTITIONS

In the New England states of this
country there is a superstition that bees
will never do we'll if the peopls OF the
house quarrel about them.
In Sicily 1t is devoutly believed that
scorpion inclosed in bottle or in some
situation from which 1t cannot escape
will sting itself TO death.
The beaver hunters of the early days of
this country believed that the severity of
the coming winter was Indicated by the
thickness of the beavers huts.
Sailors have an idea that barnacle
broken off a ship and thrown into the wa
ter will turn into a goose. The origin OF
the superstition is unknown.
Many of the East Indians. particularly
among the Hindoos of South India, be-
leve that monkeys can speak, hut will not
do so for fear they will be put to WORK.
In Holland and Belgium TO kill ,tork
is considered one of the greatest misfor-
tunes that can happen to a man. Ill-luck
Is certain to follow him through life.
In the Ural mountains the peasantry
believe that If q wolf sees man before
the man sees the wolf. the man will be
struck dumb and remain so as long as
the wolf lives.
In many countries there is a supersti-
ton that when ants are unsusually active,
running to and fro about their nests, foul
weather is sure to occur in very short
time.
Several ancient authors narrate the su-
perstition common in both Greece and
Rome that the basilsk can throw its poi
son to a considerable distance, and thug
Stay its victim.
In England and Scotland milk maids be-
lieve that If they forget to wash their
hands after milking, their cows will go
dry. This superstition is diligently fos
tered by the owners OF the cows.
There is a superstition among many
coloIed people IN the south that to meet
a frog is q lucky incident, indicating that
the one thus favored is about tn receive
money from some uneXpected Qnarter.

Running a Fast Train

The locomotive engineer is a remarka-
bly, placid fellow, with q habit of delib-
crate precision in his looks and motions.
He occasionally turns a calm eye to his
gauge and then resumes his quiet watch
ahead. The three levers which he has to
manipulate are under his hand for in
stans use, ana when they are use it is
quietly and in order, as an organist pulls
cut his stops. The noise in the cap
makes conversation difficult but not as
bad as that heard N the cab when pass
ing another train, with or without the
windows open, and in looking out of the
engine cab the objects are approached
gradually, not rushed past as when one
looks laterally out OF parlor car window.
The fact is that the engineer does not
look a. the slde--he is looking ahead
and therefore the speed seems less, as the
objects are approached gradually.
Those who have rid len at ninety miles
an hour on a locomotive know that on q
good road land there are many such) the
engine is not shaken and Swayed in a
terri fC manner, but is rather comforta-
bic, and tho speed is not SO apparent as
when one is riding in parIor Car, where
only lateral view is hsd. The engineer
can be very comfortable II he is quite
sure of the track ahead, and it is only in
rounding curves or in approaching Cross
ings that he feels nervous and it is
doubtful II ii is any more strain to run a
locomotive at high speed than to ride a
bicycle through crowded thoroug hfares.
Judging by the countenances OF the hi
cycle rider and engineer, the engin ser
has rather tho letter of it.-Railroad Ga

hope of May Yobe that she would one
day be the mistress vi the beautiful
house.
Had it not bean for the cruel creditors,
Lady Hope Gould also have worn the
famous Hope diamond, but she has not
even seen it, as it has long been in the
hands of the money lenders AS collateral.
This diamond ranks among the fam GUS
gems OF the world. 1t is as large as a
hens egg. and were it perfect in color
would be worth dozen large sizad for
tunes. 1t is an ugly blue and is not well
cut 1t has been valued at $3.50, 900. but
the managers of Lord Hopes financial
affairs are now looking for a buyer at
$40. 900. An American has offered $780,
600. but the sum was moi consider ed
large enough. 1t IS an heirloom, but
how it came into the possession of the
family IS something of mystery. Louis
XIV had stone very much ike it which
he wore in the hilt OF mis- sword. The
gem disappeared in 1892. Many connois-
ssurs believe that the Hope diamond and
the missing gem are one and the same.

said:
You will please pardon this little

that you take no offense. Yon ses 1t is so
seldom that we have the pleasure OF

')ust then il began to ia wn on nv
confused intellect that those fellows con-
tsmplated play ing the death Joke which 1
had heard an old sexton speak of In
England, called 'Guying the Ghost
or 'hazing the haunter,' But it has been
abolished nearly nalf q century. Well,

At this juncture the clock in the old

help it. I'll be at home tonight, and
alone. Come down and finish the story !"
With this the two strange characters
parted. That afternoon the phantom
friend OF the grave diaxer was ordered
by the supreme spook to haunt an old
house ir = distant city, and never re-
turned.
