A cry escaped her at the sight, for
there was her husband, followed by
two of her neighbOrs, pursuing on
horseback q band of five tories whom
Tarleton had sent to scour the country.
On and on they came, and 1t was evil
dent that the pursuers were too busy
TO have noticed the army of Tarleton.
Broad swords and various kinds of;
weapons were flashing in The air. and it,
was plain that the enraged Slocumb,

Sambo, the slave whom Mrs. Slo-

had started promptly on his errand,
but the bright coats Of the British had
so charmed him that he had fingered
about the place, and when the sound
of the guns was heard Sambo had gone
only as far as the hedgerow that lined
the avenue. Discretion became the
better part of valor then and the negro

LOYAL TO COUNTRY.

One warm morning In the spring o
iTSD Mrs. Slocumb was sitting on the
broad piazza about her home on large
plantation in South Carolina. Her hus-
hand and many Of his neighbors were
with Sumter. fighting for the struG-
Cling colonies. but on this beautiful
morning there were almost no signs OF
war TO be seen. As yet this plantation
had not been molested. and as Mrs.
SlOcumb glanced at her little child
playing near her. or spoke to her sister,
who was her companion, or addressed
a word to the servants, there was no
alarm manifest. But in a moment the
entire scene vas changed
There come some soldiers" said her
sFfrr, pointing toward an officer and
twenty troopers. who turned out of the
l'gl way and entered the yard.
Mrs. Slocumb made no reply, al

the leader was none other than the

summer time of life:
..-as still without a husband,
was waiting for a wife.
And her cheeks were rich and rosy
And her lips were luscious red,
So he pressed her dimpled fingers
As he looked al her and said,
As they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill:
MAY we not fare together
Up this long. hard hillF
Now her band began to tremhle
And her eyes were full of tears
As she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years:
But she had no voice to answer
Him; she could not understand,
For the future lay before her
Like 4 far-off fairy land.
There was sunlight on the heather,
There was music in the rill,
As they went away together
Up the long, hard hill.
Oftentimcs the way was sunny,
Other times twas full of lures,
But the love that had come to thei
Was the true love that endures,
Though the bonny brow is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray,
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost is on the heather
And the snow is on the rill,
And they're Coasting down the short side
or the long, hard hill

The value of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR.. c. e. Boynton. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says
when we want an aseptic article OF
diet, the white of an egg, raw. serves
both as food and medicine The way
to give it is to drain off the albumer
from an opening about half an inch In
diameter at the small end of the egg
the yelk remaining inside the shell
add a little salt to this and direct the
patient to swallow it. Repeat every
hour or two. In typhoid fever this mode
of feeding materially helps us in car
rying out an antiseptic plan Of treat
ment. Furthermore. the albumen to a
certain extent may antidote the toXines
OF the disease. Patients may at first
rebel at the idea of eatingia raw" egg
out the quickness with which 1t goes

less disagreeable than they supposed

QUEER NEST. course they did this
without consulting the keepers-that Is
one of the queer ways of the English
sparrow. 1t expects to occupy the
very best homes without paying a cent
of rent. Each family began to carry
twigs. bits of grass and string and to
drop them into the globes. They he
gan very early in the morning, aud be-
fore the keeper came around to put in
new carbons and clean the globes they
had completely furnished their new
home, and Mother Sparrow was get

Sparrow sat by, chirping gayly D.:
course the keeper cleaned out all Of
the twigs from each globe as he went
along; but no sooner did he turn his
back when the sparrOws were busy
again. and for a week or two they have
fairly made life miserable for the poor
keeper. And that isn't the worst of 1t.
One day this week a nest was left in
a globe by mistake, and when the cur
rent was turned on that evening of
course the heat set fire to the grass and
twigs. NJ. and Mrs. Sparrow few out,

lures wherein this machine differs ma
terially from the ordinary bicycle Is
the weight. Cantilevers range in
weight from the nine-pound racer to a
wheel for rough use, which weighs
fourteen pounds.
The construction is the outcome of
the inventors desire to secure a per-
feet seat. Mr. Nickall Petersen is a
Dane, residing in England, and he has
been a wheelman for twenty years
His idea was to enjoy the comfort of a
hammock on bicycle, which ne ac-
cOmplished by the use of silk strings
on which the saddle rests.
The front forks are attached to the
rest Of the frame by pivot connection
at the top and by strong pivot hinge
at the point shown in the cut just
where the lower part of the frame
joining with the crank hanger goes up
to a point near the top Of the front
wheel. This connection gives the ma
chine a sensitive steering device.

The boy who shoots peas from n
blow-pipe may not know that a blow
pipe Of large make is an implement Of
warfare in South America. 1t is used
by the Indian tribes on the west coast.
and it varies in length from ten to flf-
teen feet, and is made from one Of the
many species of hollow canes that
grow In the forests Of those districts
Its ammunition Is Of two kinds: First,
arrows tipped with poison; and. Sec
ondly, pellets Of dried clay. But the
greatest range Of these overgrown pea
shooters is seldom more than twenty
five yards, and they do not shoot ac-
curately, owing to the irregularity of
the bore.
A really terrible blow-pipe is used by
the Dyaks, Of the Malay archipelago.
These weapons are made Of hard wood,
are eight feet long, and nearly one aud
a half inches in diameter, and have a
spear head fixed to them, so that they
serve the double purpose OF a spear
and blow-pipe. The bore is about
third Of an inch, and is perfectly true
throughout, while a thorn of the sago
palm makes a natural arrow with a
point almost as hard as iron. Feather
ed with pith and tipped with deadly
wourali poison, these arrowlets have
an extreme range of eighty yards and
can be aimed accurately at an object
fifty yards away.
