" Here's Your Mule.

Several stories are told to account for
the cry, "Here's your mule" which was
so popular with the Confederate soldiers
during the secession war. The best au
thentcated of these is shat in the fall of
1861, after the battle of Manassas, a far
mer came one day into Beauregard's
camp, near Centerville, in search of a
stray mule. Some Of the boys swore they
had seen the mule in the camp of another
division, half a mile away, but hardly
had the old man started when they
shouted: "Come back, mister, here's
your mule" He turned to retrace his
steps. Immediately the other camp,
knowing only that some fun was on foot,
took up the cry : mister, they uns lyin'
to you uns; we uns hev got you uns
mule''-a tratersty on the dialect of the
troops from the North Carolina noun.
tains. AS he turned in the direction of
another camp with, "No, they haven't.
Here's your mule" And SO the whole
army joined in, and had the bewidered
countryman changing his course as the
cry came from quarter to quarter,
"Here's your mule" The phrase caught
on after the incident of it's origin was
forgotten, and was everywhere repeated
upon all sorts of occasions. Soldiers are
always ready for joke, and none more
so than those who dubbed themselves
" Lees Miserabes" If they chanced to
encounter part of a wagon train on their
marches the front ranks, glad of any ex
cuse to break the monotony, would raise
the shout, "Here's your mule,'' which
would be taken up by the whole column.
One thing that helped to make the
phrase popular was that it formed the
refrain of a parody on Randall's song,
"My Maryland" satyrzing the supposed
disposition of some of the Maryland
refugees to seek "shade" Offices rather
than fell duty.-Erchanqe

Calling the Angels In.

We mean to do it some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing our very souls away.
And grant to our goaded hearts hush
That is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it o never doubt,
When the burden of daytime toll is DER,
Well sit and muse while the stars come out
AS patriarch sat at the open door
Of his tent, with heaveuward gazing eye,
To watch for the angels passing by.
We've seen them afar at high noon'ide,
When 1ercely the worlds hot flashings beat
Yet never have hidden them turn aside
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them to halIow the cheer we spread
To drink of our wine and break our bread
We promised our hearts that when the stress
Of life-work reaches the longed-for close.
When the weight we groan with binders less
Well loosen out thoughts to such repose
AS banshes Cares distractng din,
And then-we will call the angels in
The day we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired of every mocking guest,
And broken in spirit and shorn of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door of rest
And wait, and watch, as the days wane on
But the angels we meant to call are gone.

States Banishbd from Boston Schools.

The reasons assigned by the school
committee for the discontinuance of
states, slato pencils and sponges in the
public schools and the substitution of pa
per, lead pencils and rubber erasers in
their places, are as follows:
First-A light gray mark upon a
slightly darker gray surface is more or
less indistlnct and trying to the eyesight.
Second-The resistance of the hard
pencil upon the hard slate is firing to the
muscles, and the resistance to which
the muscles are thus trained must be over
come when beginning to write with
pencil or pen upon paper.
Third-The use of states, slate pencils
and sponges is very unceanly, custom,
and leads to and establishes very un-
ceanly abits.-BoSton Herald

!B@ "Have you noticed the passing
of the feather bed ?" asked j. W. Arm
strong of Helena, Ark, at the Lindell
last night.
"The great bag of downy feathers upon
which we reposed in childhood has gone
the way of all old fashioned things, and
in it's place has come the patent mat
tress. | remember the time when no
household in the South was thought to
be properly equipped unless it possessed
a full complement of Feather beds, and the
gathering of the contents of the roomy
ticking was once thriving industry
among the colored folks. But now the
feather bed has departed into the limbo
of things which have outgrown their
usefulness, along with the door knocker
and the midday dinner. "Times change
and we change with them," and as the
doctors put the old-fashioned bed under
a ban it is probably we'll that it has been
done away with; but whoever remembers
the comfort and coziness of one of those
soft old feather beds on a wintry night
cannot think of their being allowed to
fall into innocuous desuetude without
feeling of regret"

Sunday, to represent the branches of
palm, are called cats and dogs in many
parts OF the country. They increase in
size rapidly after a few warm April
showers, and the belief formerly prevailed
that the rain brought them. Hence the
saying 'to rain cats and dogs"
Cur means curtailed dog, from the
old forest laws of England, obliging all.
That terror of childhood-the boyle.
man-comes from the Scotch, meaning q
phantom. The word gas is from the
German geist-a ghost or spirit. It's in,
PRODUCTION in this sense is due to DR.. Van
Helmont of Belgium, who used the term
for all the non.condensble airs, but his
first application was to what he called
the ''gas of water"
1t may be a comfort to learn that
-'don't care a" is by no means pro-
fame expletive. The dam meant here is
a small coin current in India. Another
common expressont"not a silver" comes
from Dutch coin of the value of one
penny. There are also English stivers
for circulation in British Guiana.
The name of Etienne de Silhouette,
French minister of finance in 1859, has
come down to US in the cheap profile
portraits "produced by projecting by the
light of candle the shadow of a face
which was traced while the sitter was in
position" These portraits were very
cheap and the French gave them the
name of "Silhouette" in allusion to the
extreme parsimony of the minister. In
fact, in the days of Etienne de Silhouette
any cheap fashioned was dubbed "sil-
houette."
"a nation OF sbopkeepers" is generally
supposed to have been Napoleon's sneer
at the English. 1t has been proved that
Barere was the first one to use it when
he said: "Let Pitt then boast of his vic.

How to tell Time in the Dark.

1t Needs Little Calculation and Regular Habits.
"What time is it ?"
81 think can tell you without look
ing"
He drew out his watch and held it up
close to his ear and slowly turned the
stem winder, "One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight" he counted, and
then he said: "That means seventy.two
minutes. l wound the watch up tightly
at o'clock, and so the time ought to be
about twelve minutes past 4. Let's see
how near l came to it. Well, it's Ais
L was only six minutes off,"
The other was regarding him with
amazement. "Do you mean to say that
you can tell the time of day by winding
up your watch ?"
"Not exactly. but l can come mighty
near it usually within ten minutes, and
it's very simple, too. All you have to
know is how long one tick in winding up
will run the watch. I'll explain to you.
Suppose that at o'clock l wind up my
watch until it is tight, as we say that is,
until another turn of the winder would
apparently break spring. At o'clock
winder clicks twelve times before the
watch is wound up to the place where it
sticks. Then you know that twelve
clicks will run the watch 120 minutes and
that one click represents ten minutes of
time"
"What good is it to know that"
"Well, suppose you go to bed at II
o'clock tonight, and on retiring wind up
your watch and put it under your pill
low. During the night you wake up and
wonder what time it is. You don't want
to get up and light the gas. All you
have to do is to pull that watch out from
under the pillow, hold it to your ear, and
count the ticks as you wind. If you
count eighteen then you know that the
watch has run down $50 minutes since II
o'clock, and that the time must be very
near 2 o'clock. To be sure, you can't tell
the exact time, but you can generally get
within quarter of an hour of it."
"Wouldn't the same rule hold good for
a clock or watch which is wound with
a key"
81 dare say it would, but L never tried
it on anything except stem winding
watch. know blind man who always
tells time by winding his watch and
and counting the ticks. His sense of
touch is quite delicate, and he can wind
up his watch three or four times day
and then calculate within ten minutes of
the correot:time."- Chicago Record.

at the Post Office department almost
every day, but the amount of the unpaid

owners. In fact, every year from $50, 200

Southern Limit of the Snow Belt.

The landed surface of the globe is so sit
uated that snow never falls upon more
than one third of its area. In our country
snow falls every winter in four ftbs of
the States and Territories, and occasion
ally in the others, the southern point of
Florida being the only section of the
whole country in which it was never
known. On the west coast snow has
fallen as far south as the southern boun-
Diary of California. This has occurred
but once since the Signal Service was
established-in January, 1882. The
furtherest south on the east coast that
snow was ever reported was at Punta
Rosa, Fla. (about 100 miles from Key
West.) on December l, 1876. Along the
Gulf Coast it has been known to fall from
Pensacola to Brown sville, Tex.
