But strange as is this feature of the strife
II IS nothing in comparison with the large

my experience during the war. most of
the officers took equal chances with the
men"
Judge North belonged to a Wisconsin
regiment during the war and served to
the end, barring such time as he was laid
up with wounds. He tells some pretty
good war stories, all of which lack the
heroic tinge so often met with. During
me war he only asked for a furlough on
one occasion, and then it was denied him.
IL seems he was a warm personal friend
OF the colonel commanding his regiment
and the latter had repeatedly informed
him after he had served a long time that
he would grant him a ten days furlough
at any time requested. Shortly before
Sherman commenced his march to the sea
sharp battle took place between the d.
vision to which Judge North belonged and
heavy confederate force.
Prior to the battle every soldier knew
that the fight would be a desperate one
ana that many would lose their lives. In
following orders Judge Norths regiment
formed the front line of the advance. The
situation these men were placed in was
extremely perilous and every soldier could
see the danger himself. and few entertain
ed hopes of escaping alive. While the
regiment was momentarily expecting or
ders to advance on the confederate strong
hold the colonel passed along the line
As he approached Judge North the latter
saluted him, and called out so all those
near could hear him:
Colonel, have you not repeatedly told
me that l could procure a ten days fur
Tough at any time l applied to you for
the same?'
The colonel, who was as pale as a ghost
himself, and probably as badly scared as
Judge North, replied rather hesitatingly
that such was a fact.
Then" said Judge North, at want a
ten days furlough right now. and want
1t worse than l ever wanted anything IN
my life"
The righteousness of such a request I'M
der the distressing circumstances did not
fan to cause a smile to spread among
the men who were facing death.

Mr.. Brazzle of Brooklyn, with a type
writing turn of hand went about his ma
tive village last week seeking a machine
that would fill a long-felt want and make
his handwriting readable as he express
ed 1t, says the New York Sun. He got
INTO pretty much every place in the town
where typographs are kept on tap, and
he had various experiences, only one of
which impressed him, and that one shows
how much multum there may be in very
little parvo.
1t was as follows:
Il know perfectly we'll" the agent said
to Mr.. Brazzle, in response to a statement
of his, the argument made against our
machine IS that it is not so short in the
touchdown as the Cicketyc1icker, but
want to say to you, sir. that, while it is
superior in every other respect to every
other typograph on the market il is only
one-eighth of an inch shorter in the touch
down than the admittedly highest-grade
typograph on the market. Only an eighth
of an inch" repeated the agent, holding
up a rule with the very infinitesimal space
marked off with his finger nail
What little that was, to be sure, and
Mr.. Brazzle went home and began to
think up wayse and means to raise the
necessary hundred dollars to make him
write hand that could be read, even if
ne had to do it by machinery. As he was
thus cogltating in his easy chair his cal
culating spirit brushed its wings against
that eighth of an inch Then he began
TO figure upon it, as men do in Mr. Braz-
zle's condition.
Let me see he thought "A typewrit-
er at ordinary speed will write, say. fifty
words minute though the agent told
me his machine would easily write one
hundred and fifty. But let that pass. FIT
ty words a minute for sixty minutes or
an hour is three thousand words. These
three thousand words will represent an
average of five letters to the word, let us
say, which gives US fifteen thousand let
ters per hour. Now, it requires one touch
down OF key for each letter, or fifteen
thousand touch-downs per hour for what
the operator will write, and each touch
down Is an eighth of an inch or eighteen
hundred and seventy-fiye inches for an
hours movement, in excess of the ma
chlne that was an eighth of an inch short
er IN the touch. Say an operator worked
ten hours day; that would give his hands
eighteen thousand seven hundred and fftv
inches TO travel over every day. That
means fifteen hundred and ffty-five feet.
and, saying that the operator worked
three hundred days in the year, that extra
eighth of an inch would mean about eigh-
ty-nine miles of travel for his hands per
year"
And thinking thus, Mr. Brazzle went to
sleep, and dreamed that if wonap's
tongue went a hundred feet in a hundred
minutes, how many feet would il go while
he was so sleepy he didn't know what she
was talking to him abOut2

Notwithstanding nothing has been heard
from the steamer Heckla since her COLI
sion at sea with the steamer Mississippi
several days ago, no apprehension for her
safety is felt. She is a modern vessel,
and is supplied with the most approved
safety appliances. Her former command
er, Capt. Thomson, who is in New York
said day or two ago of her construction
and probable damage, that he had no
doubt she would make the voyage to Chris
tiana in good time and perfect safety.
She has four water-tight collision bulk
heads forward, and to judge from the
wound on the Mississippi made by the
Heckla's bow, he was sure that not more
than two of the bulkheads could have been
injured. He thinks the commander of the
Heckla erected a false stem, stretched
three or four layers of stout canvas around
it, braced with heavy timbers the unin-
jured bulkheads. and filed the four feet
of space between them with cement as an
extra safety measure. In this condition,
Capt. Thomson says. the Heckla would be
perfectly seaworthy, and as wen prepar-
ed TO stand the voyage as when she sailed
out from Sandy Hook.
1t Is gratifying TO observe the progress
that has been made in the direction of
safety at sea. While marine architects on
both sides of the ocean have striven to
produce craft of great speed, they have
not for a moment lost sight of the fact
that the modern vessel must be something
more than a swift transports she must con-
serve the safety of passengers and crew.

An Important Omission.

At prayer meeting recently held in one
Of the churches not thousand miles from
Utica there was manifested a desire on
the part of some of the participants to
praise themselves, says the Utica Observ-
er. one man even went back 20 the DAYS
of his boyhood to show how good ne had
been even at that time. He said that one
day, while walking along a country road
he suddenly discovered in one of his pock-
cts dollar belonging TO his employer
which he had neglected to turn over to the
latter. With crushing force the thought
came to him that his employer would. miss
the dollar and believe him to be dishonest
Overcome by that thought, he sat down by
the roadside and wept. There the story
ended. Those who heard the pathetic mar
rative were deeply moved, and one of the
women present subsequently told her
young son about Il, probably with the in
tention to produce good effect upon the
youthful mind. But the youthful mind
didn't seem TO be impressed. The thought
full boy remained silent for a few moments
and then he burst out with:
SAY ma, did the man tell whether he
ever gave the dollar back2"
