PRIVATE eRApLAUGH.

How He Debukcd an Omcer For Rh
Ungentiemanly Conduct.
One Of Messrs. Cassell's publications
says that the late Charles Bradlaugh.
when in the British army, was orderly
room clerk. and a newly arrived officer
once entered the room where he was sit
ting at work aud addressed to him
some discourteous order. Private Brad
laugh took no notice. The order was re-
peated with an oath. Still no move
ment Then it came again, with some
foul words added. The young soldier
rose, drew himself to his full height,
and, walking up to the officer, babe
him leave the room or he would throw
him out. He went accordingly, but in a
few moments the grounding Of muskets
was heard outside, the door opened. and
the colonel walked in, accompanied by
the officer.
1t was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed, and as he
seid once, 81 felt myself in a tight
place" The officer made his accusation,
and Private Bradlaugh was bidden to
explain. Ee asked that the officer
should state the exact words in which
he had addressed him. and the Other
who had, after all, a touch of honor IN
him, gave the offensive sentence yScrd
for word. Then Private Bradlaugh said.

memory must surely be at fault in the
whole matter, as he could not have used

the officer with the dry remark: 81

must be some mistake" and he left the

A New Antfeeptic.

We are willing to admit that the
japanese can give us points on various
industries and mechanical arts, but we
have scarcely been prepared for the an
nouncement that they are ahead of us
in certain points in surgery. Antiseptic
dressings are among the absolutely nee
essary surgical appliances. There is
more or less difficulty in preparing
them, and they are for the most part
expensive. aid many of them are not at
all satisfactory. During the war JAP
anese surgeons used tie ashes Of rice

met with most remarkable SUCCESS. The
wound was cleaned, the ashes applied
freely, then sublimate gauzc or Ercn

are said to be perfect antiseptic, and
owe these qualities to the presence Of
potassium carbonate. English and Amer
lean surgeons are trying this dressing,
and if it is as successful III their hands

and is unquestion.tbly the cheapest

CAST HiSlOT WITH BLACKS
white Man WHO Was Thought III
Among Slaves.

Among Slaves.
Take the case of Rev. ". J. White,
the editor Of Baptist weekly published
at Augusta, Ga. White is man of in
telligence and integrity, and his ac-
count Of his early life has never been
disputed
Briefly this is the story: A few years
before the war dark faced boy made
his appearance ON large Georgia plan
tation. He was supposed to be a mulat-
to. and when the planter died tbs
youngster was cold with the estate.
After the war this alleged mulatto
picked up Gn education and Investigated
his ancestry. He was not much sur
prised TO learn that he did not have q
particle Of negro blood in his veins: His
mother was All Indian and his father
was a white man.
White was not long in deciding to
cast his lot with the blacks. He had al
ways been classed with them. It seemed
to be the will Of the Almighty that he
should share the burdens of tho negro
race, and he made up his mind to stick
to his old companions
He prospered and became leader
among the people. He has the respect
and confidence Of both races, but he has
never attempted to rise above what he
believes to be his divinely ordained
sphere. 1t is easy to see at glance that
this man is not mulatto or a quad
room, for his mixed Indian and Cau-
casian blood cannot be mistaken but he
has no desire to cut loose from the ex-
slaves with whom he has spent the
best years Of his life.
Many of the white ministers of his
denomination know the peculiar facts
Of his case. and they treat him with
great consideration. OVERWHELMINGLY
he leads his life of self sacrifice. and his
only object seems to be the advancement
of his adopted race. He married mu-
latto and submits to all the laws and
social distinctions which separate the
two races in the south.
Few men similarly situated would
have followed Whites example. As a
rule, people of Indian and white parent
age claim to be the social equals of the
whites, and il they have q Pocahortas

HORSE MEAT DEFENDED.
An Authority Claims Prejudice Prohibaea
Its General Use.

Everybody is aware that the horse Is
the cleanest Of all domestic animals It
will not eat anything but good, healthy
food. nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff often given to pigs and
cattle. 1t is nothing but prejudice that
prevents us from eating horseHesh.
A similar prejudice retarded the in
PRODUCTION of the potato 100 years ago.
Today we could not get along without
it. Yet the prejudice against potatoes
can be explained. The people had been
told that this American root caused
fever and rendered the ground unfit for
all other crops The exception against
horseflesh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. It is solely
due to the influence of the church. The
clergy did everything possible to pre-
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use Of horsefesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued.
The nations Of Europe have suffered
enormous less by this prohibition Of
horseflesh. Especially from the humani-
tartan point of view the resnlts e-" --.~--
