sabre, receiving a wound in the arm
that caused his death. Humphrey de-
clined to have his arm amputated,
saying he preferred death to the loss
of a limb, and so this brave young
captain, just passed his majority,
glorifed by Gen. NJ. C. Buffers en-
comium, died because he feared not
death, but shrank from dismember-
ment.
One more instance I will recall of
unusual Indifference to danger. When
we charged into fitzpatrick camp and
up to his headquarters, in a lull in the
fighting at that point, because we had
driven the enemy away, though bullets
we're flying thick and fast all around
us, | noticed a bullet headed negro
cooking breakfast, and rode up to the
fire to see if | could transfer anything
to my haversack for my breakfast
later, and I was astounded by the alb
solute Indifference of the cook to the
danger around him, when he easily
could have found safety behind the
brick chimney Of the house a few feet
away.
He went on cooking just as quietly
and coolly as if not under fre-many

An exchange reports the dread

he had a genius for saying pretty
things. He was practicing his art up

- The Soar family of Ambaston

- The Soar family of Ambaston,
Derbyshirc, England, have a curious
heirloom in the shape of a loaf of bread
which is now over six hundred years
old. The founders of the family, it
appears, we're great friends of King
John. When hat monarch died, he
made several land grants to the Scars.
One of these tracts, it appears, had
always been conveyed with a loaf of
bread, as a witness of good faith.
When King John made over the papers
to the original Soar, he sent the tradi-
tional loaf along with the writings"
and the deed and the loaf are both
kept to this day as sacred relics.
- A little boy was on his knees in
his little night dress, saying his pray
ers, and his little sister couldn tresist
the temptation to tickle the soles of
his feet. He stood it as long as he
could and then said: "Please, God
excuse me while I knock the s~tufing
out of Nellie"

As MI. Bishop led the way into
another division, a solidly built horse
with several brands on his sides
walked across the yard, followed by a
pack Of mules. When he stopped all
the mules stopped and gathered
around him in admiring contempla.
ton. This horse was Rarus, one of
Buffalo Bills animals. quiet and
| ~peaceable in the open, but a demon
when saddled and mounted. He is
used to lead the mules on board ship
All mules have this Same respectful
admiration for a horse, regarding him,
probably as q superior being. Before
Rarus' time Mr.. Bishop had a spotted
horse named Harry, whose occupation
and chief pleasure in life was to lead
the mules consigned to foreign ports
on board ship, and then gallop down
the gang plank, n%e;ghins with glee
while they were being imprisoned on
deck. They are very good sailors as a
rule, and of a consignment Of 1900
that went to Cuba not long ago for use
by the Spanish soldiery not one was
seriously affected by the voyage. Of
the relative values Of horse and mule
Mr.. Bishop says:
"The average life of a mule is about
the same as that Of a horse. The
mule has greater power Of endurance,
can pull more weight, is less nervou
and more patient, is more intelligent,
and, with proper treatment, is equally
docile. When a mule runs away,
which is seldom, he doesn't smash in
to everything that looms up in his
path, but lodges obstacles and shows
himself possessed of some common
sense. A horse doesn't show any
when he is excited. OF course the
mule is no match for the horse in
speed or beauty. Physically, however,
he is the sturdier animal. His diges-
tion is better, he isn't so liable to
disease, and he can better endure the
rigors of heat and cold. As a worker
he is slowly but surely replacing the
horse
One attribute which Mr. Bishop
failed to mention in the list Of his
pets characteristics is the voice.
When the mule yard bursts into blithe
chorus all Jersey City knows it and
the echoes split splinters from the
rocks on Hoboken Heights. There
are in that mule yard soprano, alto,
tenor and bass voices, and an. anthem
performed by the full chorus is alone
sufficient to damn the whole race of
mules for all eternity.

The Value Of Lemons.

Keep lemons in the house, if posi-
BILE, as they are sure TO be in demand
for more purposes than one, and are
very healthful. 1t is claimed where a
large quantity of demons are purchased;
and there is fear of their not keeping
till wanted for use, that if they are
placed in a jar covered with clear wa
ter. and the water changed each day,
they will keep as long as desired. and
are as fresh when removed from the
jar as when first purchased.
There are few things as ehicacious
for breaking up a cold as hot lemon
ade, taken just before bedtime. 1t is
best, to render this more effective, to
battle the feet of the patient in hot
water and mustard just before retir-
ing, then give hot lemonade to drink.
Then put the patient to bed almostim-
mediately thereafter, there to remain
we'll covered until morning, when, I'M
less there is something more serious
than a cold, the latter will have almost
wholly disappeared.
To make good lemonade take a COB
let of hot water, and into it squeeze
the juice of one good-sized lemon, and
sweeten to taste. This makes a stl eng
lemonade, and may not be fancied by
some; but it is one of this kind that
will do the most good when used as a
medicine. For a cough, roasted or
baked lemon isgood. Put a good-sized
lemon in the oven and remain until
baked, which will be when the
whole is very soft; then take out and
add a quantity Of sugar to make it a
thick syrup. Take a %teaspoonful of
this frequently, keeping it warm, and,
unless in a very obstinate case, it will
effect a cure in a short time.
The juice of a lemon taken in the
morning while fasting is often q pre-
v~entative of those attacks to which
bilious people are so frequently sub
jected. Lemon juice rubbed yer the
hands each night before retiring will
keep them soft and white. 1t is good
for removing tand, and is a wonderful
whitener OF the skin.
1t is also excellent for taking out
stains from the hands. Women who
are careful of their compilations, aud
are fond of vinegar on certain foods,
would do well to use a few drops Of
lemon juice when any acid is desired
as vinegar has a bad effect on the skin.
A piece of lemon bound on a corn,
changing for a fresh piece each day
for three days, is said to loosen the
corn that it may be easily removed.
Do not throw away bits of lemon from
which tic juice has been extracted,
for they are good to keep for cleaning
purposes. When the juiceis not con
venient, they are nice to rub IN the
hands to remove any ink stains and
other discolorations. A piece Of lem
on, dipped in salt and rubbed briskly
over a copper kettle, will giveit agood
polish.
Never eat or allow to be eaten bits
of lemon left standing for any length
of time, more especially where they
have so remained il a sick room. Do
not throw away any lemon peel, but
dry it in the oven and keep for flavor
ing. A bit of this dried peel cooked
in apple sauce, or put in an apple pie,
gives a delicious favor that nothing
