Death Rate in Fifteen Battlea.


Of the fifteen decisive battles of the
world the average death rate in the last
i've of them (of which alone reliable
statistics are p~reseryed) was about %
per cent, ranging from 20 per cent, the
British loss at Saratoga, to Al per cent.
the loss of the Swedes at Pultowa. Oh
other great battles it is difficult to fix
the average death rate, though 1t may
be estimated at about 20 per cent. The
rates range from 8 (the German loss
at Sedan in September, 1870 to 80 pei
cent, the British loss at Bloody Albue'
ra. As n matter Of fact, things stand
very much as they used to do, save thai
the slaughter, when it does occur, al
ways ome more quickly. A greal
battle in which the quick-fring guns
can be brought into effective use will
probably increase the death rate large.
~, but that remains to be proved. Gen.
eral statistics prove that since the Tro-
san war. 5000 years ago, not a single
year has elapsed in which some wal
has not caused the killing Of a large
number of men; while it Is calculated
that all the worlds wars are RESPONSE

from the carriage.

the Doaager. MAY ! have the pleasure

"Certainly, l shall be delighted!'

Mabel and Dorothy Wynn were the
daughters Of a military officer, who in the
days Of purchase. never had money
enough to buy the next step beyond that
of captain.
When both girls were babies, Captain
Wynn lost his wife, and then, in consider
alton Of his junior officers wishes, ex-
pressed in bank notes, retired. He did not
long survive the combined loss Of wife and
career. His daughters remained ct the
school where she had placed them, In or
der TO acquire the means of adding to their
diminutiye income.
They had apparently no relation save
their guardian. Panl Standish. He was
a distant cousin. of the late Captain Wynn,
and ibis nearest friend-he was also ex-
ecutor TO his kinsman's will, as we'll as
guardian to his children; and very faith.
fully did he fulfill thefduties he had un-
dertaken. The young orphans soon learn
ed to look upon him as an elder brother;
indeed to Dorothy, who was five years
younger than her sister, he seemed in
their childish days quite elderly.
One afternoon he brought a married sis
ter to see them. This lady invited the two
girls to dine, and go to the theater. A
supreme joy in itself, and productive Of
important consequences. .
At dinner they met Colonel, then Major,
Callander, a grave, sedate mann who had
run the gauntlet of many garrisons with
out any serious affairs Of the heart; and
now, in the most unexpected manner, he
fell utterly and absolutely fathoms deep
in love with the defunct captains lovely
daughter Mabel.

Asparagus Growing.


The Missouri experiment station has
been experimenting for the past two
years with asparagus growing, and has
successfully grown asparagus in the
open field In mid-winter by running
steam into shallow tunnels between
the asparagus rows. The asparagus
field was first covered with six or
seven inches Of heating horse manure,
and the steam forced. into the soil from
the greenhouse boiler. By this means
a large yield of fine asparagus was OBJ
tained throughout the months, of De
cember, January and February; the
finest quality being gotten In the mid
die of January, when the weather was
coolest. Many of the sprouts were
twelve or fourteen inches long and an
inch in diameter, bleached perfectly
and very tender and delicious. The
amount Of steam required was very
small, and for persons located near a
good market the winter growing of as
paragus would prove Profitable

P II,

Mrs. Callander's little dinner was a
greater success in her own estimation than
perhaps in that of her guests. She had
what she considered a distinguished par
ty, which included an Honorable Major
st. John, whose p%retensions to exclusive
ness and superiority were upheld By mas
terly taeiturnity; her uiece, a mudn-trav-
eled aud experienced young lady df good

ley's benefit, and as Egerton, who was,
Mrs. Callander thought, the greatest man
there. was more silent than usual, and
looked slightly bored, she began to fear
before dinner was over that she had made
IA mistake in dispensing with that c~onceit-
ed, insignificant chit Dorothy, for really
Mr.. Egerto3 seemed to miss something,
and that something might be Dorothy.
The rest of the company, with the eN
ception of Miss Oakley, made CONVEX
sation more or less stilHy. She ratified
away on'all possible subjects to st. John
and Egerton, between whom size sal. be-
ing divided between the desire TO tla'ke
an impression on the latter and animate
The fornier. Colonel and Mrs. Callander
remained to the last, as he acted host, and
when the family party were left alone,
Miss Oakley took a low chair beside her
