Lived ON what They Took.

There is one thing which is not gen.
orally known to the public-that is.
Mosby and his men never received one
cent from the Confederate government.
Each man provided himself with his
own uniform, horse and arms. and
boarded himself. The United States
government furnished us with captured
horses, arms and ammunition, and the
extra horses captured paid q board.
So, instead Of receiving pay from the
Confederate government. we turned
over to them horses, mules and arms. I
will mention incident to show what
an honorable and conscientious man
Colonel Mostly was. On the greenback
raid, when NO captured $l68, 600. be-
fore division was made Of the money
$50, 600 was offered Colonel Mosby,
which he declined to receive. Nor did
he ever take anything for his own use
that had been captured.-Thomas Moss

WAys Of b Moose.

Ambrose seemed to know a great deal
about moose, after all. He told the boys
how, back from the narrow valley and
the swift, winding stream. the country
was all a wilderness, hillsides clad
with birchss, naples and evergreens,
and resting at their feet little lakes, so
numerous that no man knew how many
there were. Often, where these lakes
were shallow. tho yellow pond lily
with its oval leaves crowded the sur
face. At other seasons the tender bark Of
mountain ashes and moosewoods are the
favorite food Of the moose. but now
there is nothing he likes so we'll az tho

sound Of moose calling to their mates
or the angry challenge Of fierce rivals.
It 10 this sound which the hunter imi-
tates to attract the moose. But there
are only q few places where tho moose
will answer, shallow spots in certain

THE OFFICE SEEKING HORDE.

General Harrison Says Ie Makes the Post
tion Of President One Of Many Trials.
At the beginning Of every administra-
ton Washington fills up with persons
who desire some Office either in the
states, in the departments or in the for
eign service, writes ex-President Harri-
son in The Ladies' Home Journal, dis
cussing THE Presidential Office. Many
Of these persons have a limited purse.
and as the days pass on this is exhaust
ed, and impatience and i'll temper come
in. Many Of these persons r deserving
and we'll fitted to fill the offices they de-
sire. But it is impossible to find places
for all the deserving, and the position Of
the president is full Of trial. The sus-
pense and uncertainty that the Office
seeker suffers are illustrated by the case
Of a man from my own state who
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield.
After he had been weeks at Washington.
and had brought to bear all the influence
he could command, I met him one day
on the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was, Very
we'll, very we'll, but there is nothing
focal yet" 1t was wonderfully express
i've and has remained in my memory
as a type Of the state Of uncertainty
which accompanies Office seeking.
"Nothing focal yet" but a hope that is
hard to kill.
There r few offices at Washington
the salaries of which enable the incum-
bent to save any money, and the average
experience Of those holding places in the
departments, I am sure, is, if they would
express it, that private business offers
better returns and gives q better chance
for advancement.

THE BODY AND THE MIND.
DR.. Perkhurst ON the Great Value Of m
iCal DEVELOPMENT.

Dr.. Parkhurst ON hAG Great Value Of Phys-
heal Development.
In his article on ''The Best Thing In
the World" Rev. Charles II. Park
hurst. D. D., in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, discusses with forceful emphasis
physical development. and lends point
to his argument by scintillating cpl
grams, some of which are here given:
"Asceticism and debauchery are com
panion branches sprung from one stalk.
Fidelity to physical conditions is
the first thing for q man to think Of
who has any ambition to be a personal
success, and not only the first thing for
him to think Of. but the thing for him
to seriously continue thinking of.
"Those various anomalies Of intellect
classed under the general term Of in
sanity have their grounds in some alb
normal condition of the physical organ
ism.
"Climb high as we like our ladder
will still require to rest on the ground,
and it is probable that the keenest in.
tellectual intuition, and the most deli
cate throb of passion would, if analysis
could be carried SO far, be discovered to
have its connection with the rather ma
terial affair that we know as the body.

What IL FAtigue?

Fatigue is the natural result of labor,
and as such is a periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar.
1t is n Of the laws Of organic life
that peri9dEo of relaxation shall succeed
periods of activity. The heart itself is
normally in repose for about one.third
of the time consumed by each beat-a
fact in which there is something par
ticularly suggestive and interesting,
since psychologists agree that about one
third of the "a hours should be devoted
to sleep.
Life is made up of q series Of vibra-
tions in which tension and rest succeed
each other. The heart vibrates about 20
times a minute; the vibrations of the
respiratory organs occur about 16 times
in the same period, while the vibrations
Of the whole organism may be said to
complete their cycle once in "a hours.
Abnormal fatigue, a state approaching
exhaustion, occur when one attempts to
alter natures rhythm, when the hours
Of tension are made to encroach upon
those which should be devoted to rest,
when muscle and r already fatigued
are driven to further exertion. Fatigue
Of q kind known as entertaining re-
suits, in the case OF the athlete, in heart
weakness and shortness of breath-'loss
of wind, !" as it is called-while the long
continued fatigue occasioned by excess
i've application to professional or bust
ness pursuits results in nervous prostra-
ton or even in paralvsia.
While excessive fatigue is in itself I'M
wise, n Of the chief dangers which re-
suits from it is that commonly indicated
by the term catching cold" Thus the
danger Of sitting in q draft or on the
damp ground ia many times doubled
after great exartion. The application Of
heat to the surface is q more logical pro-
cedure after extreme fatigue.
Loss Of sleep is one Of the first sypm.
toms OF abnormal fatigue. Habitual in
somnia from this caus is to be treated
only in u way, BY absolute rest

CRACKING BILLIARD BALLS.
Efeakish Results Of Blizzard weather %
the Ivory Globes.

xfeakish Result Of Bliasard weather -
the Ivory Globes.
Dudley Kasanagh, the champion Of
billiards in the days Of the supremacy
Of the old four ball American game,
talking the other night about the liabil-
ity Of ivory billiard balls to crack il not
carefully protected from cold drafts, re-
cited this amusing incident:
About 80 years ago, when ! kept q
billiard room in Fulton street, I got ont
q box of ivories one winter morning to
do some practicing before my customers
would arrive. ! had been playing for
about five minutes. when l undertook to
make q sharp drive with the spot ball.
/ struck it fairly in the middle, the cue
going clean through the ball, knocking
out what the experts call the heart or
center of the ball. It got chilled and
had cracked all around the center. The
ball was ruined for regular playing pur-
poses, but ! had heaps Of fun with it
afterward. I explained to certain Of my
customers. who were jovial sort Of fell
lows, fond Of a joke, that we could make
q joker Of the cracked ball.
II found when I replaced the heart
that the ball had all the appearance Of .
sound one, and that the heart would
remain in place until the ball was struck
sharply. These customers. who were
aware Of the secret, would come in &C.
~casionally with other friends and start
a game. When the proper time came,
the man who had been selected as the
victim Of the joke would be engaged In
conversation with one Of the players,
while another would slyly remove n
Of the sound balls when the victim
wasn't looking and replace it with the
cracked ivory.
"'1t's your turn, George one OF the
jokers would cry ont, and then the vic.
tim played. Sometimes on the very first
stroke the player would knock the loose
heart out OF place, and pinion the ball
ON the tip of his q The shot generally
astonished the spectators. Then they
would roar with laughter and applaud
with enthusiasm. The maker of tho
mysterious shot was always the most be-
wildered mar in the establishment. He
would examine the pinioned ball closely
and then scrutinize the dislodged
heart
"'Well. George, they told him laugh.
ingly, there isn't a professional alive
who could beat that shot. It's the great
est on record
1T was many, many months before
that cracked ball ceased to be q source
OF wonder and amusement to the down
town business men,"
Since Dudley's days in Fulton street,
the same accident has occasionally hap
pened, and Sexton, Tim Flynn, George
Sloeson and Maurice DAILY each have
''heartless " billiard balls, which they
keep as curiosities. F1ynn's specimen
had the heart knocked out of it in q
game Of 10 ball pool, where the player
burst the pyramid in the effort to pocket
three balls or more on the opening
stroke. New York Sun.

HONEY AS 4 FOOD.

Cases II Disease.
Probably most people consider honey
% the equal In value for food Of n
sweet sauce-no better. no worse. All
should know that it possesses one great
superiority-ease Of digestion. The nee
tar OF flowers is almost wholly cane
sugar. The secretions added by the bees
change this to grape sugar and 80 pre-
pare 1t that 1t is almost ready for as
sanitation without any effort on the
part OF the stomach. In fact, Professor
A. J. Cook once styled honey ''digested

honey is a very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers. II a
person is very tired. "too exhausted to
eat it is astonishing how a few tastes
OF honey will act almost like magic.
Almost no effort is required to make it
ready for assimilation. Persons suffer-
ing from some forms of kidney trouble
will find that honey is q much more
beneficial food for them than is cane
sugar.
In eating comb honey many strive to
eject every particle Of wax, fearing that,
as wax is indigestible, nightmare and
other troublesome consequences will fol-
low an indulgence in warm biscuit and
honey. 1t is true that bread is more
easily digested than warm biscuit, as
the latter is inclined to ''pack' in chew
ing, but it may surprise some to know
that comb honey is really an 41i to the
digestion Of hot bread or biscuit. The
philosophy of the matter is that the
flakes OF wax prevent the packing"
while the honey readily dissolves out,
leaving passages for the gastric juice to
enter the mass Of food. The flakes of
wax are indigestible, that is true, but
when warmed are perfectly smooth and
soft and will not injure the most deli
cate membrane. In fact, they act as a
gentle stimulant. and are beneficial in
