water From a Planted Reed.

Detroit Free Press: "When people are
suffering from thirst they will resort to
all kinds of means to get water" re-
marked gentleman who was at one
time member OF the United States geo.
logical surveying expedition in the In
dian Territory. "For some time we had
been without water and were suffering
greatly. Among our number WAS an old
trapper, who was as keen on the scent
for water as is hound on the trail of
deer, Finally he paused at place and
stopped.
81 think there's water here, il we
could dig we'll, he observed.
= But we can't replied.
NO, but we can do something else,
he replied.
"With that he cut reed, tying some
moss on the end OF it. Then he dug into
the earth, placed his reed in the hole and
packed the earth around the reed. lie
waited for few minutes.
Do you mean to say yon can suck
water out of that thing?' asked.
Yes there's water near the surface.
Gle drew at it with much satisfaction.
Good ! he remarked; would you try
it?'
with little confidence in the result
sucked at the reed, with the surprising
result OF getting plenty OF clear pure
water. To my parched tongue it seemed
the very nectar of the gods.
=" It's az clear as the water of spring
said.
YES, the moss is our filter, he re-
piled.
ave pursued our journey much re-
freshed, and never forgot the old trap
per's advice"

The Druggist>' snow Bottles.

An interesting story is told by the Chi
cago Grocer in connection with the
familiar red, yellow and green vases that
brighten the windows OF drug stores
The custom OF placing them there origi-
mated with an apothecary who found
himself one night minus the red light
with which tradesmen Of his class were
accustomed to ornament their store
fronts. To make up the deficiency he
got bottle OF red liquid and placed a
candle behind it. The effect pleased
him so well that he decided to improve it
by placing second red light in the win
dow, with the aid of another bottle of
red mixture and an additional candle.
This sign made such brave showing
that an envious rival cast about for means
Of improving on the sign. He hit upon
the scheme OF placing bottle colored
with yellow fluid beside the red one, and
then surpassed his previous effort and
carried all before him by placing a green
bottle beside the yellow. The three
made a sign that caught the town, and
all the druggists quickly fell into line.
The bottles were replaced with the hand.
some vases at present in use, and the
druggist sign was here to stay to brighten
the dingy streets of town and village.

he handed it back to her.

"You must be mind reader" said
the woman, holding the delinquent time

The True Name OF General Grant.

The following regarding the true name
OF U. s. Grant, from McClure's Magazine,
ia especially appropriate at this time:
Up to the start for West Point Grant had
been Hiram Ulysses, or III. Ulysses
Grant. The young traveller required a
trunk, and Thomas Walker, local "gen-
ius," was the man to make it. He did
so, and to finish off, he traced on the
cover, in big brass tacks, the initials "H
U. g." James Marshall. Ulysses cousin,
went to help him carry the new trunk
home. Ulysses looked at the big glarng
letters. 81 won't have that 3d." he said.

me about it," And he thereupon shifted
his middle name and became Ulysses
II. Grant, and 80 he went forth to the

He registered at Roe's Hotel, West
Point, on he 10Th Of May, as ~. II.
Grant," and on the same day reported to
the sdiutant, George G.. Waggaman, de.
posted forty-eght dollars, and signed
his name Ulysses Hiram Grant. His
name rs reported from Washington, how
ever, was U. s. Grant, and the error
arose in this way; The Hon. Thomas
iiamer received the letter OF Jesse Grant
only the day before the close of his term,
and, being much hurried. sat down at
once and wrote to Secretary of War Poin-
set, asking for the appointment OF his
neighbours son. He knew the boys
name to be Ulysses, and inferring that
his middle name was Simpson. so filled
in the application, and thus it stood when
Ulysses faced the sdjutsnt.

told it was impossible without the consent
