to the field Of battle for miles back the
turnpike was lined with men pressing
forward after him to the front.
After the whole line was thoroughly
formed I rode over to my chief and
urged him to ride down it, that all the
men might see him and know without
doubt that he had returned and as
sumed command. At first he demurred,
but was most urgent. as knew that
in some instances both men and officers
who had not seen him doubted his ar
rival. His appearance was greeted by
tremendous cheers from one end Of the
line to the other, many Of the officers
pressing forward to shake his hand. He
spoke to them all cheerily and confident
ly, saying: "We are going back to our
camps, men, never fear. I'll get twist

Largest Brick Building.

"Very few know it, but it is fact, "
explained prominent builder to q re-
porter, THAT the pension Office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. 1t has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand il, for as
time passes along there are many things
seen about 1t that escaped notice when
1t was newer. In all there are over 1O,-
600, 900 bricks in the building. General
Meigs took liberties with bricks that nc
other architect had ever attempted. He
not only used bricks exclusively for the
building, but he used them in construct
ing the stairs throughout the building.
In the matter of stair building bricks
have often been used for the riser, but
the step HAS always been of iron, wood,
slate or stone. In the pension office both
riser and step are of brick. AS brick
building, therefore, pure and simple, il
is unique in construction outside Of the
fact that il is the largest exclusively
brick building in the world. Wash

Bigns Of Disaster and Retreat Greeted the
Plucky Rescuer ut Every Step ~ He
Neared the Front - Mounted on His
7 Black Horse, Little Phil Inspired All.
| We came suddenly upon indubitable
evidence Of battle and retreat. About a
mile in advance the road was filed and
the fields dotted with wagons and men
belonging to the various brigade, divi-
sion and corps headquarters, and in
among them officers servants with led
horses, and here and there broken am
'bulance, suffers supply trains, bat
terry forge or two, horses and mules
hastily packed with officers mess kits,
led by their cooks, and now and then a
group of soldiers, evidently detailed
enlisted men attached to the head
quarters trains. In fact, this was the
first driftwood of food just beyond
and soon to come sweeping down the
road. Passing this accumulation of
debris with rush by leaving the pike
and galloping over the open fields on
the side of the road. we pushed rapidly
on, but not so quickly but that we
lcaught an eehoing cheer from the en-
listed men and servants, who recognized
the general and shouted and swung
their hats in glee.
Within the next few miles the pike
and adjacent fields began to be lined
and dotted everywhere with army wag-
ons, suffers outfits, headquarters sup
ply. trains, disabled caissons and team
sters with led mules, all drifting to the
rear, and now and then a wounded
officer or enlisted man on horseback OF
plodding along on foot, with groups OF
struggling soldiers here and there among
the wagon trains, or in the fields, OF
sometimes sitting or lying down to rest
by the side of the road, while others
were making coffee in their tin cups by
tiny campfres.
Soon we began to see small bodies OF
soldiers in the fields with stacked arms,
evidently cooking breakfast. AS we de.
bouched into the fields and passed
around the wagons and through these
groups the general would wave his hat
20 the men and point to the front, never
llesseniDg his speed as he pressed for
ward. It was enough. One glance at the
eager face and familiar black horse and
they knew him, and, starting to their
feet, they swung their caps around their
heads and broke into cheers as he passed
beyond them, and then, gathering ur
their belongings and shouldering their
arms, they started after him for the
front, shouting to their comrades farther

alton and that while the time varies in
different cases, the average period OF
highest protection may be fixed at nine
or ten years. Afterward the protective
efficacy rapidly diminishes, for which
reason the commission deems that the
value Of revaccination can scarcely be
overestimated. AS to the injurious eff
fects alleged to result from vaccination,
the commission says that when consid-
cred in relation to the extent Of vac
cination work done, they are insignifi-
cant. Besides, there is reason to be-
lieve that they are diminishing under
the better precautions of the present
day.

Ants with Umbrellas.

The doings of ants are among the
most interesting things that naturalists
find to study. No members of the in
sect world present more startling sug-
gestions of intelligence and fore
thought governing their actions. 1t is
not correct, however, to explain the
habits and conduct Of ants by human
analogies. For instance, it was once
supposed that the so-called ''parasol
ants" living in hot tropical countries,
carried little leaves above their heads
for the sake of protection from the sun.
Later investigations have shown that
the ants actually do carry leaves, sus-
pended by the stem which they hold in
their Jaws, and that columns of them
thus furnished with leaves, like an
army with banners, march in regular
order; but that the leaves, instead of
being intended to shelter the ants from
the sunshine, are deposited by them
around their nests to form a soil in
which grows a kind Of fungus that they
are fond Of. So the parasol ant is not
a dandy, but a farmer.

Tho Potnto as an Article of Food.


While it is probable that millions OF
persons have subsisted largely upon
the potato, it is dietetic -act that this
important article of food is going out
of fashion, and that at a very rapid
rate The best authorities frown upon
it. HYGIENE experts speak i'll of it, and
those who are in the habit Of giving
very close attention to the subject of
scientific feeding will have none OF it,
and are much given to declaring that
the potato is responsible for more dys-
pepsia than anything else in the world.
The first potato planted in England
went into the ground in 1896 and its
introduction IN Ireland was almost at
the same date. For couple Of hun
bred years the potato was looked upon
as sort of vegetable curiosity. 1t was
occasionally eaten, but always as a.del-
icacy. It was preserved, candied, done
in sweetmeats and spices, roasted with
marrow or stepped in sack, Marie
Antoinette wore the flowers and con-
sidered them wonderfully beautiful.
The Pommeranian farmers planted po-
tatoes at the point of the sword, for
Frederick the Great had said, PLANT
potatoes" and that was the end Of it.
In 1771 and 1772 a famine in Germany
made the inhabitants of that country
familiar with the food value of the po-
tato. It is thought that the Spanish
brought the potato to Virginia. 1t
grows wild in Chilli and Peru, and was,
according to accounts, taken by the
Spanish to Spain, and there planted
until 1t became an article of common
use. 1t is generally supposed that the
potato is a root, but this is not true.
It is an underground stem, which is
swollen and increased by stores OF
starch laid up for some, as yet, undis-
covered purpose. The eggplant, to-
bacco and the potato belong to the
same genus, and 1t is an interesting
item that both the potato and tobacco
were first taken to Europe from Amer
lea.

slightest touch and instantly. dart out
o. It's sandy bed. A fish is very sensi-
tive to movements in the water sur
rounding it. A shadow falling upon the
water will startle fish into flight. But
sensitive as fishes are in some respects
it is probable that they do not suffer
pain from injuries received. Fishes
are extremely sensitive at the nose. A
fish that had in pursuit of prey run its
nose against a rock might shake its
head violently, perhaps in pain, but
fishes sustain serious injuries from
actual wounds without showing any In
dication of pain. In fact, the indica-
tions tend to show that they do not
suffer.

"Old Curiosity Shop"

About thirteen years ago crowds Of
people flocked to the narrow and
crooked little street, known as Ports
mouth street, leading from Portugal
street to Lincoln's Inn Fields, for a
rumor was spread abroad that the
house reputed to be the home of Little
Nell was about to be demolished by
order of the board of works This,
however, was false alarm. The board
had only ordered 1t to be shored up, as
the adjoining house was in danger Of
collapse. The question of its removal
was, however, only a matter of time,
and now the time has arrived. Its
demolition will very shortly be effected
as a part of the wholesale improve
ments going forward in this neighbour
hood, and which have already claimed
two historic taVerns-the George ~.
and the Black Jack-and the last of the
old bulk shops Though the loss Of all
these associations is matter for much
regret, it cannot be doubted that the
clearing of this squalid and congested
congeries of byways will be very
real improvement. There is the usual
difference Of opinion as to the actual
building which Dickens had in his
minds eye when he wrote "The Old
Curiosity Shop" The novel itself does
not give any trustworthy clew, and the
distinction has been claimed for "a Fet-
Ger lane, when was pulled down early

An Amusing Trick.

remarkable for the grace Of their per-

less. Fashion them as we'll as you can
out of cardboard and glue them to the
inside of an ordinary dish shaped like
that in the cut. You will notice that
they are arranged in regular order, ac-
cording to the position of the arms.
First, there is one with its arms hang
ing straight down; then comes one with
its arms slightly elevated, and so on,
TO the last, which has its arms straight
up over its head. Now place the dish
in a plate larger than it is, and by
giving 1t turn you may make 1t re-
volve freely pour half an inch OF water
into the plate, and that will facilitate
matters. If you make a hole with a
pin in a piece of cardboard and look
through 1t at the figures as the dish re-
wolves, there will appear to be only one
figure, whose arms are moving up and
down constantly. In other words, this
arrangement is homemade zoetrope.
You may also use the device to play

tions of the human form, use strips on
which are marked certain numbers.

The Sleep of Seeds.

Prof. De Candolle of Geneva has re-
Gently brought together many interest
ing facts about the latent life Of seeds,
and their ability to withstand very
low temperatures. After recalling in
stances in which seeds have sprouted
after lying apparently dead Cor hun
dreds of years-in one case $500 years
he gives the results of experiments
on subjecting seeds to freezing cold.
Corn, oats, fennel and some flower
seeds were exposed during 11S days to
a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit
below zero. Afterward, when placed in
suitable surroundings, nearly all OF the
fennel, oat and corn seeds, and many
Of the others terminated. He concludes
that the protoplasm, or the principle
of life, in a resting seed, is in a state
of inaction not comparable to that of a
smoldering fire, but rather like that OF
a chemical mixture, which is capable OF
forming a combination whenever the
required conditions of temperature
and illumination are present.

in 1891. The preponderance Of opin-
ion inclines to Portsmouth street,
which is in a neihborhood replete with
associations of Dickens. The street,
which originally bore the queer name
of touches building, takes its present
name from Portsmouth House, built
by lingo Jones for the Earl of Ports
mouth, the front of which is still stand
ing, but the interior has been entirely
transformed to meet the requirements
of modern days. The quaint old house
we illustrate is believed to be the rem
nant of the dairy-house Of Louise de
Kerhouel, Duchess Of Portsmouth, the
"baby-faced" beauty, who so long held
the too-susceptible Charles II. in thrall.
Thus the name Of the street Is some
times derived from the duchess rather
than the earl.
