BURIED IN THE SNOW.

Exciting Experience of Some SchOOE
children in Northern Michigan.
All of our boys and girls do not have
the opportunity to go every day to
comfortably warmed, well-lighted and
beautifully decorated schoolhouse, like
most of those i'll Chicago.
Away up III northern Michigan, where
much of the land is still uncultivated,
there stands a little low log building
in the center of a clearing, where the
huge oak and maple stumps still stand
to tell of the forest that once covered
the land. This schoolhouse has d
funny little door, hardly high enough
to admit tall man, and two or three
small windows, the size of single
sash. The spaces between the logs
are plastered up with moss and mud,
and the gable ends are made of boards
covered with tar-paper, which scentsup
the big room inside. A long, low stove,
with door big enough to receive d
whole cord-wood stick, stands in the
center of the room, and the stove-pipe
runs right out through the roof, with

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
,NsoLENoE RERuKED.

The story of One Five Minutes Dee
fore viclSsburg.
The siege of Vicksburg proper occu-
pied over 40 days, during which there
were many thrilling incidents worth
place in written history. ] remember
one UNIQUE in vividness and brevity, last
ing only about five minutes-a simple
artillery duel between two guns.
It was after the siege was well under
way, and nearly all the enemy's field
artillery had been so roughly handled
by our batteries and sharpshooters that
we seldom saw or heard one of their
guns. We were somewhat startled not
far from noon on clear, hot day in
June to hear a dull boom away to the
southwest, followed by the. bursting of
a 12-pound shell about five feet above
and little to the rear of the First Wis
ccnsin battery of 2o-pound PARROTS
This was lying just north of the Nicks-
burg & jackson railroad, and was sup
ported by the Eighth Indiana.
The battery had earned for itself an
cnviable record, five out of its six guns
having each dismounted confederate
gun up to date. No sooner had the sit
untion dawned on the old hunchback
sergeant of ahe sixth gun than he and
his crew were at their posts training
the long, black pieces on the gun of
the enemy, brass piece whose bur-
nished sides shone in the bright sun
light like a blaze of fire to the south
west, perhaps ~ miles away.
1t had been run outside of the inner
angle of the fort, which protected gun
and gunners from our men directly in
front of them, but gave Us an oblique
yet plain view. Before the Wisconsin
boys got down to real work second
shell came from the confederate gun,
bursting almost directly over our bat
tery. The fragments tore up the ground
in an old orchard just to the rear.
But that was their last shot. While
training their gun for third, our old
sergeant exploded shell right beneath
their trail, killing or wounding one of
the crew, whom we saw borne away.
Our gunner had gotten their range at
once, so sent them his compliments

Kentucky lawyer tells this good story:

Story of a Repentnnt DOG.

This little dog tried to make amends
for his sins. But unfortunately, he did
not do it in the best way, although he
did the best he could. A story comes
from New Haven about black spaniel
that abstracted a feather duster from
his owners house, and while playing
with it tore out all the feathers. The
dog after being shown the featherless
handle, was given O severe whipping
with it. He then disappeared, and about
an hour afterward walked bravely into
the house with a brand new duster in
his mouth. He walked up to his mis-
tress and meekly deposited the new
brush at her feet. BY the mark on it
she saw that the dog had stolen it from
neighboring fancy goods store.

but ignorant monkey, and SO save him
self any trouble.
A writer for the French scientific pa
per La Nature, who recently paid
visit to lyman, tells the following story:
THE artist who accompanied me,
wishing to make sketch of lyman,
begged Mr.. Bigeard, the keeper, to
make him come out of his cage. Mr..
Bigeard consented, and 1 noticed when
he took out his key and unlocked the
cage door lyman watched his every
movement with intense interest. After
very graciously allowing the artist to
sketch him, lyman reentered his domi-
cile. He had barely got in when we saw
him trying to pull off bit of the wire
network of his cage. He succeeded at
last, and, not having at hand any lock-
smith tools, with his hands and teeth
he tried to model something that re-
sembled key. Finally with many pre-
cautions, he passed his two arms
through his cage bars and tried, in
turn, to open the lock by introducing
his bent wire i'll the keyhole and turn
ing it in every direction possible"

A FATAL BUTTON.
Strange Mark Which Accompanies
New Disease.

Strange Mark Which Accompanies
New Disease.
A strange malady has broken out
among the lower classes in portions OF
Mexico and in the state of Guerrero.
Doctors of the city have been entirely
baffied in their diagnosis and are pow
erless to alleviate the suffering or tc
prevent the spread of the disease, which
has proved fatal in large proportion OF
cases.
The symptoms are described to be
languor, followed by the appearance OF
u bright yellow button upon the fore.
head, deathly sickness and vomiting, ac.
companied by exhaustion and collapse.
The disease is not allied to yellow
fever, according to the physicians, and
its symptoms more nearly approach the
mysterious malady known in Asia
Minor than any other. 1t is stated that
the people of Aleppo, Asia Minor, are
all attacked by the disease at least once
during their lifetime, and all new
comers to the city are attacked within a
few days, but the disease, curious as il
is, is rarely ever fatal in the far east.
In Mexico it assumes a malignant
phase. The state and national boards OF
health are bestowing much attention
upon it. DR.. Demetrio Majia, of the
City of Mexico board of health, is in.
vestigating the epidemic.-N. Y. Jour.

How Boys, MnrbIen Arc Made.

Marbles are manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
AT the marble quarries the refuse
stone is broken by hand into
small cubes. A bushel or more
of them is poured into a great re-
volving cylinder, which is supplied with
water from faucet. The cylinder is re-
volved at u high rate of speed, and the
cubes by attrition are ground down to
the tiny spheres which give such delight
to the hearts of the boys. From one
to two hours are usually required to
finish lot of marbles, and they are
afterwards sorted according to size and
painted by hand. The crockery marbles,
or "pottcries," are nodded of the same
material, and then are glazed and
baked. The glass marbles containing
images and flowers are nodded.

people with false hopes. 1t was not
surprising that the Inhabitants of the
remote parts of the country were in
ignorance of the true progress of the
war. Gen. Grant replied in quiet way:
Gen. Sherman is certainly advancing
rapidly in that directions; and while |
do not wish to be the communication of
news which may be unpleasant to you,
have every reason to believe that Rome
is by this time in his possession" The
older lady then assumed bantering
tone, and became somewhat excited and
defiant in her manner; and the younger
one Joined with her in scouting the idea
that Rome could ever be taken. Just
then a courier rode up with dispatches
from Washington containing a telegram
from Sherman. Gen. Grant glanced
over it, and then read it to the staff. 1t
announced that Sherman had just cap
tured Rome. The ladies had caught
the purport of the communication, al
though it was not intended that they
should hear it. The wife burst into
tears, and the mother-in-law was much
affected by the news, which was of
course sad tidings to both of them.
The mother then began to talk with
great rapidity and no little asperity,
saying: II came from Richmond not
long ago, where 1 lived in house on the
James river, which overlools Belle isle;
and L had the satisfaction of looking
down every day on the Yankee prison
ers. / saw thousands and thousands of
them, and before the campaign is over
L want to see the whole of the Yankee
army in southern prisons"
just then Burnside rode into the yard,
dismounted and joined our party on the
porch. He was man of great gal
lantry and excellence of manner, and
was always excessively polite to the
gentler sex. He raised his hat, made
n profound bow to the ladies, and, as
lie looked at his corps filing by on the
road, said to the older one, who was
standing near him: II don't suppose,
madam, that you ever saw so many
Yankee soldiers before" She replied,
instantly: Not at liberty, sir" This
was such good shot that every one
was greatly amused, and Gen. Grant
joined heartily in the laugh that fol-
lowed at Burnsiie's eXpense.-Century.

then tells the following anecdote: We

The Leading School

Jasper Normal Institute will
begin it's seventh year September,
Is, 1897. The last year has been
the most prosperous in the his
tory of the school. The enroll
ment of students outside of Jas
per was $50, more than most of
the colleges of Florida had for
their total enrolment.
The students of Jasper Nor
NAL are expected to devote the
greater part of their time to in
tellectual growth. The manage
ment of the school consider life
too short and duties too pressing
to fritter away half Or more of a
students time swinging clubs,
handling a gun or kicking a ball.
The demand of the age is educat-
ed brain rather than professional
athletes.
Jasper Normal offers variety
of courses. In every course the
work is of high order of excel
lence. None but good teachers
arc employed. 1t is the ambition
of the faculty to do more for the
young men and women under
their charge than is done at any
other school in the state for stu
dents. The constant increase in
attendance tells how we'll they
have succeeded.
The health record of Jasper
Normal cannot be excelled. In
six years there has been but one
death in Jasper of persons be-
tween six and twenty-one years
of age and that one was struck
by lightning.
Normal students board with
the best private families of JAS
per at $40 per month.
Bear in mind that. Jasper Nor
NAL is not a little village school
but a school enrolling twice as
many students every year as is
done at most Florida colleges.
The work is superior in every de-
partment; the behavior of the
students is unexcelled.
Ample buildings, good library,
abundant apparatus, healthful
surroundings, low expenses, and
superior Instructions are few of
the many reasons why parents
should send their sons and daugh-
tiers to Jasper for an education.
