MODERN ARMS AND GETTYSBURG.
At Gettysburg, in July, 1868, had the
Federal troops been armed with the
rifles now being issued to the United
States infantry, and with the present
improved field guns, Pickett's heroic
band, in the charge on the third day,
would have been under fire from start
to finish, and the fire of massed infan-
try, combined with breech- loading can
non, would probably have destroyed
every man in the assaulting lines,
writes General Fiszhugh Lee in The
Century. Pickett's right, when formed
for the charge, was 1900 yards from
the Union lines; and the magazine
rifle sight is graduated, it will be re-
membered, to 1900 yards.
With the weapons then in use the
Federals did not open with artillery
until they were within LOO yards of
their lines, and their infantry did not
fire until they were within much
closer range. In the recent war be-
tween China and Japan, it was stated
that ball fired from japanese rifle,
called the Murata, similar to the
United State magazine rife, struck a
Chinese three-quarters of a mile away,
in the knee and crushed it to atoms.

THE VALUE OF RANK.-The ex-
treme cheapness of military titles, a
few years after the war, is well illus
trated by story that was told at re-
cent campfire. The narrator said that
in the year 1870 he was travelling
through a certain populous country
district, and stopped to converse with
a farmer who had a considerable num-
ber of men at work in his hayfelds.
"Most of these men are old soldiers"
said the farmer.
"Indeed! Are any ofthem officers?"
"Two of 'em. One Of 'em there was
a private, and that fellow beyond was
corporal, but the man beyond him
was major, and that man away over
in the corner was colonel"
"Indeed! Are they good n?"
"Well," said the farmer, "that pri-
Yates a first class man, and the corpo-
RAILS pretty good, too."
"But how about the major and the
colonel?"
"The majors $685." said the farmer.
"But the colonel?"
"Well," answered the farmer, ~

If You PLEAsE.-When the Duke OF
Wellington was sick, the last. thing he
took was little tea. On his servant
holding it to him on saucer, and ask
ing him if he would have it, the duke
replied, ayes, if you please"
These were his last words. How
much kindness and courtesy is ex-
pressed in them! He, who had COM
manded the great armies in Europe,
and had long used the throne of author
ity, did not despise or overlook the
small courtesies of life. Ah, how many
boys do! What a rude tone of com.
mand they often use TO their little
brothers and sisters, and sometimes to
their mothers! This is ill-bred and
un-Christian, and shows coarse nature
and hard heart. In all your home talk,
remember "ifyou please" TO all who
wait upon you and serve you, believe
that "if you please" will make you bet
ter served than all the cross or order
ing words in the whole dictionary.
Don't forget three little words-''if you
please" Life is made up not of great
sacrifices or duties, but of little things,
of (which SMILES and kindness, and small
obligations, given habitually, are what
win and preserve the heart, and secure
comfort.

A DOGS FAST,

How long dog can live WlLnout
food has been a much controverted
question among the people who know
the dog and his ways. Some very
long survivals are on record but
none, perhaps, more remarkable or
interesting than u well authenticated
case which comes from France.
Mr.. Gely, a farm superintendent at
Dampierre, in the department Of the
Upper Saone, has dog named Rigo-
let, which, although past 10 years old,
and almost toothless, has never abated
the activity of his warfare against all
the animals Of the field, and especially
against foxes.
A short time ago, as Mr.. Gely, with
his dog, was passing the mouth of a
fox burrow, Rigolet made a sudden
and furious descent on the burrow,
showing plainly that it was inhabited.
1t had SO spacious an opening that the
dog forced himself into it quite out Of
sight.
Presently the master heard the tu-
multi of combat within. The dog
was barking fercely. Then there
came the sound of a caving in, and the
noise ceased.
Either Rigolet had been silenced
by the fox, or he had been engulfed
by the collapse of the gallery in which
the fight was taking place. Mr.. Gely
set about digging him out but found
the ground so stony that he was
obliged to give it up, and the old dog
was left to his fate.
Gely went home, and after mourn
ing the dog few days, thought of him
no more. Twenty-Five days went by.
1t happened that the miller of the
neighborhood, passing the fox burrow
with friend, said, "There's the place
where poor old Rigolet was buried
alive" Just then he heard feeble
whining, which seemed to come from
underground.
He called and listened and the
whining was repeated louder than be-
fore. There was certainly a dog with
in the fox burrow. The miller went
to apprize Gely, who, this time, brought
picks and shovels and sufficient num-
ber of hands to open the burrow.
After five hours of active digging,
the old dog was unearthed at consid-
cradle depth. He was almost skele-
ton; his face was bloody, for he had
worn it almost to the bone in his at
tempts to dig out through the stony
soil, and his claws were worn off from
the same cause.
As soon as he was brought to the
open air Rigolet fell to the ground,
apparently dead. But his master sue
ceeded in reviving him with dose of
beef tea and milk, and the old dog was
soon seemingly as good as ever.
1t became a question whether he
tasted in the burrow for the 22 days,
or whether he had subsisted on the
fox which he certainly found. 1t
was assumed by his master that he
was too nearly toothless to have been
able to devour fox; and those who
dug him out declared that there was
no sign that he had had anything to
eat.

A LONG FAREWELL.-The French
mans politeness sometimes serves him
in good stead to point a rebuke, as
we'll as to emphasize attention. A
Frenchman who was staying at an
American hotel asked, at the cashiers
desk, how much his bill was one day,
and was astonished to find how great
an amount he had been charged.
He felt that he had been plundered,
but he paid the bill, and then asked to
see the proprietor. Presently the
landlord came down, in response to
the call, all beaming with smiles.
The Frenchman rushed up to him, ex-
claiming:
"Ah! let me embrace you, saire |!
Let me KEGS you!'
"But why do you want to embrace
me, sir? IL don't understand.
"Ah saire, but look at zees beel !"
"My bill? Yes, but what of it ?"
"Vot of it? Wy, mean Eat shall
nevaire, nevaire see you again, saire."

BAD HONEY BEEs.-"Lovers of the
product of the busy bee find it wise
precaution to have their honey tested
as to its purity before they eat it or
use it in a culinary way" Professor
Remington gave warning something
like this at recent meeting of phar-
macists, and at the same told of Ger
man who was extensively engaged in
bee culture, and who had his apiary
close TO a sugar refinery. A lot of
rank molasses was accessible to the
bees, and they gorged themselves.
The result was that their honey was
equally rank, and unfit for use. On
another occasion the bees fed on bloom
ing digitalis, and their honey proved
to be poisonous. Natural honey there
fore, is liable to vary much, and oc-
casionally, when it looks best and is
sweetest, it may be loaded with poison.
Unscrupulous bee farmers are accus-
toned to forcing their bees to increase
their output by feeding them sweeten-
ed water. The honey, of course, is
scarcely fit for use.
