Remarkable Esca Ia ding.

A remarkable feat has just been ac-
ccmplished by soldiers stationed at
Fort Sheridan, Ill. An improvised
rarapet thirty-one feet high was scaled
by means OF pyramid of soldiers.
Eighteen of the heaviest and strongest
of the men formed the base OF the
pyramid. Upon the shoulders of these
stood ten men. Up climbed six men
and stood on the shoulders Of the ten,
then four on the shoulders Of the six,
then three on the shoulders of the
four. The huge pyramid swayed and
rocked unsteadily, but it hung brave
iy together Could It have stood per-
fectly upright the upper men could
have reached the edge of the parapet.
But this was. of course, impossible.
To cap the pyramid and scale the
wall was assigned to Corporal Leary,
1.-the, athletic infantryman. Getting
a swift running start he climbed like
a cat up over the backs and shoulders
of his fellows and finally standing up
on the shoulders of the three upper
men he sprang upward, and catching
the edge of the parapet with his fin
gers in a few seconds drew himself up
over the edge and into the strong
hold of the imaginary enemy. The
whole effort required just four min
utes, and it must be recorded as a
truly remarkable feat, breaking, as it
did, the worlds previous record for
escalading by three feet Co,pOral
Leary has been recommended for pro-
motion. Escalading has long been
recognized as of great Importance.
The soldiers of the different armies OF
Europe have been for many years
drilled in this particular branch OF the
service, tnd some squads have become
remarkably proficient. This feat OF
the soldiers of Fort Sheridan is GER
tain to he followed by attempts else
where in the country TO excel the rec
ord of thirty feet.

Tedlie's Advice.

The Blakes have a summer home in
Willoughby, TO which they have Just
returned, after a residence of six
months in the city. One of the first
callers after the family had got settled
was the minister. While the good map
was inquirlng after the health OF each
member of the family, expressing his
pleasure at their return and explaining
how the affairs of the church were go.
ing, little Teddie, who celebrated his
third birthday, and who, during thei.
stay in the city, must have met some
body who was addicted to the use OF
slang, stood open-mouthed and appar-
emily drinking in every word that was
said. Having finished general review
Of affairs concerning his church the
minister started to tell about bool.
that he had just finished. when Teddie
suddenly interrupted him by gravely
saying:
"Oh, go hire hall"
1t is understood that even now the
worthy minister is sometimes possessed
of troublesome doubts concerning the

Sherman's triumphal advance TO the
sea-marked by devastated homes and
desolatcd lives-was significant Of too
much to the south to admit Of its
adoption there. 1t was written near
the close of the conflict between the
states, and yet no song, born of that
epoch, has been so much sung. In the
thirty-odd years which have elapsed
since then it has formed feature
of every regathering of the Army OF

who devoted his time to literature and
lived within himself" He was born
in Middletown, Conn, Oct. l, 1888.
In his early boyhood his father re-
moved to Illinois, and later removed
to Connecticut, and settled in Hart
ford Henry, who had been appren-
ticed to printer, found time for the
study of harmony, and also for an oc-
casional contribution to the first cor
uer OF a Hartford paper. His first
song, probably Lilly Dale" brought
him $1,000, and was followed by
Father, Dear Father, Come Home"
well-known temperance ballad. which
was sung by the advocates of cold
water everywhere throughout the
country. Works principal songs were

Chorus:

fTurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes
YOU free.
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to
the sea,
AS We were marching through Georgia.
How the darlkeys shouted when they
heard the joyful sound.
How the turkeys gobbled which our COM
missary found.
How the sweet potatoes even started
from the ground.
While We were marching through Geor-
gia.
Yes, and there We're Union men who wept
with joyful tears,
When they saw the honor'd flag they
had not seen for years
Hardly could they be restrain'd from
breaking forth in cheers.
While We were marching through Geor-
gia.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will
never reach the coast"
So the saucy rebels said, and twas a
handsome boast,
Had they not forgot. alas! to reckon with
tho host.
While We were marching through Geor-
gia.
SO We made thoroughfare for Freedom
and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude-three hundred in
the main:
Treason fled before us, for resistance was
in vain,
While we were marching through Geor-
gia.

Loose it up a bit"
For Mrs. Folliott, under an extra
pressure of company, had ordered
Grace TO sleep with Bridget for a night
or two, and when the company was
gone nothing had been said about her
resuming her little room again.
"The girls need it to keep their sum-
mer dresses in" said Mrs. Folliott.

Norah.

And so, late one snowy December
night, there came a tremendous peal
at the doorbell of Mrs. John Folliott's
mansion. That lady was absent at
fashionable reception with her three
daughters. Norah and Fannie had gone
ID visit a friend in neighboring
kitchen, and Bridget, half asleep,
stumbled to the front door and opened
it.

him: why, where are your men?"
The colonel cast his eyes sadly along

and replied in whimpering voice

man, beginning to be deeply affected
at the fearful result of the carnage.
Yes said the colonel; "the rebs APP
peared to have a special spite against

Sherman passed along some hours
afterward, when the commissary was
issuing rations, and found that the
colonePs men were returning on the
run from under the bank of the river,
where they hal taken shelter from the
firing; and in few minutes nearly all
OF the lost seven hundred had rejoin-
ed, and were boiling coffee and eating
a hearty meal with an appetite that
showed they were still very much
alive.

An Explosive Bean.

A peculiar vegetable product of Java
is bean-like pod containing the seed
OF the plant on which X grows. The
seeds are distributed by the violent ex-
plosion of the pod when ripe. Dried
pods, brought to Europe recently, ex-
ploded with loud noise when thrown
upon water. The cause of the cxplo-
SION appears to be that as the pod
ripens a strong internal pressure is
brought to bear upon the shell, though
if plucked before they are quite mature
the pods withstand the pressure until

Poor little Oracle sat before the

With a sudden cry she sprang TO her
feet and ran sobbing into his arms.
"Oh. take me away" she exclaimed

tears in his eyes.
