Presence Of Mind.

have heard of many striking ex-
hibitions Of presence Of mind in the
face Of sudden danger, but here is an
instance of it which beats everything
Of the kind that has ever come under
my notice. I can vouch for the truth
Of the story.
An Australian ''forty-niner, who
had struck it fairly rich at the gold
diggings, was taking his nuggets and
dust to Melbourne. He was walking
along by the side of his team with his
rife under his arm; indulging in
pleasant speculations concerning the
good time he would have after he had
sold his gold, when a stranger appear
ed on the road, and accosting him,
said:
"Give us piece Of 'backy, mate"
Those were days when people, es-
pecially those who had been to the
diggings, didn't stand on ceremony.
Suspecting no treaohery, the miner
thrust hand into his pockets to get
chunk Of the muohly-prized weed.
In moment the muzzle Of pistol
was thrust against his forehead, and
the stranger shouted
bail up ?"
The stranger was a bushranger, and
that was the wav that bushrangers
ordered their victims to throw up their
hands before going through them.
Without pausing an instant, although
he knew that the bushranger had
only to exercise little gentle pressure
with his fore6nger to blow him into
eternity, the miner bawled out at the
top of his voice:
sBob
There was no "Bob" around there.
1t was ruse conceived by the miner
in the fraction of second and imme;
diately put into execution to distract
the attention Of the bushranger. 1t
worked. The bushranger thought the
miner was calling comrade to his as.
sistance. he looked around to catch
glimpse Of the fictitious "Bob."
That was the miners opportunity.
Quick as a fash he swung his left arm
and knocked the pistol out of the
bushrangers grasp. Then he brought
his rifle to his shoulder and leveled it
at the bushranger's head. In much
less time than it takes to tell it, the
situation had been completely reversed.
The bushranger was at the mercy Of
the miner.
"Now," said he, "you scoundrel,
just fold your hands behind your
back, and march ahead of me if you
move or try to run away / will save
the hangman job by letting daylight
through you"
In that way the miner escorted the
bushrapger into town and handed him
over to the police.-Toledo Blade.

Boon for Bicyclists.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The man who
rides his bicycle at night and becomes
acquainted with unpleasant things be-
cause his light goes out may rejoice.
An electrical expert has come to his
aid and has invented a lamp that be-.
gins to burn the moment the bicyclist
gets astride his wheel and never stops
shining until his feet rest again on
terra frma.
Whether he gets on or off with pre-
meditation or hurriedly, the brilliant
little disc keeps time to his move
ments. The bicyclist himself furnish
es his own light. The revolution Of
the wheel generates the electricity
and it's rays are thrown by a new form
of reflector that is twin patent with
the lamp.
This double invention was designed
by a French American electrical ex-
pert, Ernest Tilmann, Of New York,
who patented it first in this country
and afterwards throughout the world:
The apparatus weighs about pound
and half. It is attached to the BIZ
cycle by universal bracket that can
be made to fit the fork Of any machine.
A little rubber wheel that lightly
touches the outer or inner rim Of the
bicycle wheel communicates motion to
a small metal wheel with ballbearing
mountings, and this in turn drives the
armature Of the dynamo.
The electrical arrangement is pro-
duced by an inteSmittent current,
taken from permanent magnet. As
soon as the bicycle wheel revolves the
armature produces brilliant electric
spark. This is concentrated by an in
candescent lamp, the globe or bulb Of
which, perfectly round, is about one
fourth as large as the globe OF the
usual electric Office lamp.
The light is two candle-power, but
its Illuminating force is vastly lnagni-
fed by patent reflector that consists
of a double parabela, the object of
which is to effect double focus.
Naturally, the quicker the bicycle
moves the more brilliant is the light.
Going at an average speed it shoots a
bright white fixed ray to great dis
tance and is so clear that one can al
most read by it seventy-fve feet away.
The inventor believes that the six
volts produced at medium speed can
be doubled by fast rider. Even at q
lesser voltage it makes the ordinary
oil lamp of bicycle look as unpre-
tentious as the proverbial penny dip.
The chief advantage claimed for the
new light is that it is non-extiDguish-
able. It never goes out, no matter
how rough the road is, except when
the machine is at rest, and then light
is not needed. Another advantage is,
of course, it's exceptionable brilliancy.
It is more economical and it will run
about thousand hours without re-
quiring new bulb.
To equip a bicycle with liquid bat
terry, the weight Of which might be
reduced to three pounds, would not be
feasible, electricians state, because
the vibration would be such as to
cause the liquids to eat up the battery:
And the storage battery light would
be almost useless, because Of its e1-
cessive weight, and also because it
must be re6lled every ten hours or SO
at an electric lighting station.

amusing himself by kindling fire
under her house. Calmly she raised
the weapon, pointing straight at the
Yankee. Then placing herself between
him and the boy, she said, "Put that
fire out, if he shoots he'll shoot through
me-"
But I am sorry to say all Of the
mean cowardly things were not done
by the Northern men. We had some
blaokguards too; but none of them
held the high position or received the
honor in the South that was accorded
to Sherman and Butler at the North.
All Of my life I have heard Of the
mean things done by the Yankees.
But few years ago learned some
thing Of the other side of the story.
I became acquainted with very
nice man from New York, who in
tensely hated Southern people. In
spite Of his prejudice, We became very
good friends, and he one day told me
how Southern soldiers had treated his
father.
His father was taken prisoner in
Tennessee. He was i'll, and the
weather extremely cold. His clothes
were taken from him, and very poor
ones substituted for them. He was
given no shoes and stockings at all,
and barefooted, made to walk behind
the army for three days, over miles Of
frozen ground. Even when he fell
from exhaustion, and his feet had be-
come so sore that every step left q
bloody track in the snow, he was urged
and driven forward until they were
met by detachment of the Northern
army, and he was rescued.
I felt very bad when l heard that
story, and for once was ashamed of a
deed done by Southern soldiers.
But 1 believe, if any Of our officers
had learned Of that shameful conduct,
the perpetrators would have suffered
for it.
The children of those days Jared
very differently from those of the
present time. They had no candy,
unless on some rare occasion their
mothers would spare little molasses
to make them some.
Their dolls were made of rags, their
blocks, and other playthings, such as
they could find for themselves.
We had very little money, and what
we had was almost worthless. It took
one hundred and fifty dollars to buy q
pair of rough boys shoes for young
lady who had lost one Of her own trudg-
ing through deep mud at night fee
ing before Sherman merciless band.
Our people had scarcely enough to
eat after Sherman passed through. l
will tell you what one lady did-the
same who saved her home from burn
ing.
After the raiders left her place she
went and raked up the dirt where they
had fed their horses, and washing out
Of it all the corn that had escaped the
animals, ground it up into food for
her family.
A little girl who opened her eyes
upon the world at that time was dress
ed in clothes made from her fathers 8
old linen shirts, and rocked in cradle
made of fence rails. How different
that is from the pretty cradles and
carriages, and the dainty clothes the
babies of to-day fall heir to.
Those were indeed ''the times that
tried mems souls" And very bravely
they stood the trial. Let them never
be forgotten, and let their children,
and their children's children, rise up
to honor and revere them.

Of people moving to town in such great

numbers.
Some will say that all the legislation
for thirty years has been against the
farming interest. Some will say one
thing and some another, but all of US
can say that there has been something
wrong and that it must change.
Brown says that the fashions--the
extravaganza customs, is the matter. 1
don't know if it is love for dress, for
display and style, that has much to do
with our present conditions, but if it
is can tell the young generation that
agirl can be just as sweet in a home
spun dress as in silk. There were
never sweeter girls than the Georgia
girls of war times, and there will never
be. How proudly We used to sing:
Ut envy not the Northern girl,
Her robes of beauty fair;
But give to me the homespun dress
That Southern women wear"
It was patriotic in those days to ad-
mire the plain dress-it was all senti-
mental at last, or fashion" as Brown
says, and this may help to clew, for
the solving Of a great question:
I am obliged to agree with Brown,
that fashion has much to do with
shaping all our desires. Ayoung cou-
pie will marry in these days, and there
is fool sort of notion that great lot
of money should be spent; they must
do thus 30 to be in the fashion, and
they will do it if it bursts the boiler.
Why can't a young couple, just
starting out in life, go to church in
good jeans for the man and calico for
the woman? Folks will think thus
and 80, is the answer, and the young
people will either not 60 to church, or
else they strain themselves to meet
the requirements Of fashion to,such
an extent, that all their lives they live
in strain.
These strains are mighty bad. When
sickness, or tout of work." or some
thing that almost surely comes to every
family, lights upon one of these
strained households, there is trouble,
trouble, trouble!
[ have heard that recent investiga-
tion has discovered 100000 young
men-country boys-now in the hos
pitsls and charitable institutions Of
New York State. 1t does not tell any
thing about how many poor girls have
been mistaken in changing from
"keepers of the house. to industrial
and commercial pursuits, but'the num-
Der will be in proportion.
IF were girl, I had much rather
marry plowboy than a city dude;
and If I was young man had much
rather marry cook than clerk.

for me to hush and I hushed, went on
my way home and left them to discuss
me as some old crank that did not like
to see country people do we'll.
Two years passed away and one hot
June day saw ragged old man and
careworn woman stop at my gate.
1t was the same old man and woman
that I have been telling about:
"Come in, come in" said [, when
I saw them hesitate at the gate.
"Come in and make yourselves at
home"
My old woman got them chairs as
they walked into the porch, and after
they were seated and had cool drink
of water, I turned and asked:
"Where are you traveling?"
sGoing back" said the man and his
wife pulled her bonnet down over her
face and dropped her eyes to the
floor.
"Where is your wagon?" Iasked.
"Sold it," said the man;
"Where is your steers?"
"Sold them"
"Where is your cows?"
"Sold them!"
"Where is the money!"
"Spent."
So much as my part to help along
the good work of the New York Off
cials. I would like to do great deal
in this cause. There will be a great

greatest feeling of contempt. When Pitt
proposed that Arden should succeed to the
