more nor less than the figure of gen.
eral made of gingerbread. He buys
one every year, and takes it home and
hangs it by string on nail.
Gingerbread, as every one knows, is
easily affected by changes in the at
mosphere. The slightest moisture
renders it soft, while in dry weather it
grows hard and tough.
Every morning, on going out, the
Frenchman asks his servant, "What
does the general say?" and the man
applies his thumb to the gingerbread
figure. Perhaps he may reply: "The
general feels soft. He would advise
you taking an umbrella" On the
other hand, if the gingerbread is hard
and unyielding to the touch, it is safe
to 90 forth in ones best attire, umbrel-
la-Iess and confident.
The Frenchman declares that the
general has never yet proved unworthy
of the confidence placed in him, and
would advise all whose purse will not
allow them to purchase barometer or
aneroid to see what the lacal baker
can do for them in the gingerbread
line.

General Grant Favored Good Roads.

Nearly 20 years ago General Grant,
in enumerating necessary lines Of pub
lie Improvements, named the public
schools and highways. Once, when he
and General Sheridan were in remi-
niscent mood, the old commander said
to Little Phil, speaking of the latter's
famous ride to the battle Of Cedar
Creek: SHERIDAN, if that battle had
taken place after prolonged rain and
there had not been a good pike from
Winchester, you would never have been
promoted to the head Of the United
States army. You would not have reach
ed the battlefield to cheer your men,
and there would have been great de-
feat for the Union forces instead Of a
great victory. That would have left
Meade and Thomas a long distance
ahead of you in the line of promotion.
