One on "the Old Man."

When Dewey was first lieutenant of
one of the gunboats which Farragut
used as a dispatch boat, the admiral
used often TO come aboard and steam
up near the leVee to reconnoiter. The
soutbeFners had way of rushing
field piece to the top of the high banks,
firing point blank at the gunboat, and
then backing down again. Upon one
such occasion Farragut saw Dewey
dodge a shot. "Why don't you stand
firm, lieutenant?" said he; don't you
know you can't jump quick enough"
A day or so afterward the admiral
lodged shot. The lieutenant smiled
and held his tongue; but the admiral
had a guilty conscience. He cleared
his throat once or twice, shifted his
attitude, and finally declared: "Why,
sir, you can't help it, sir. It's human
nature, and there's an end to it!"-

Below Zero All the Year.

The coolest inhabited country ap-
pears to be the province of Werch-
ojansk, in oriental Siberia. The mean
altitude of the terrain is about 107
meters (about 800 feet) above the sea.
A Russian sa?ant passed one entire
year in this inhospitable region and
kept daily record of the tempera-
ture, which he had recently published
and from which it appears that the
daily mean of the entire year is 2.74
degrees below zero. The daily mean
for January, 1896, was 63.4 degrees be-
low zero.

by single she'll A shell burst in the
market house without injuring any Of
the 30 people present. Supt. Warner,
of the gas works, and his little boy
were killed in bed by shell. An IN
known young lady was killed by a shell
while on her way to take the train.
On Forsyth street an officer was talk
ing to lady in her front yard when
a shell came along, mortally wound
ing the soldier and the lady's little
boy. Two newspaper offices, ST. Luke's
chapel and the female college, were
struck. Once a shell exploded in
funeral procession, scattering four
cofiins and dispensing the mourners.
Yet in the entire six weeks there were
less than 100 persons killed in the city.
Hundreds of stores kept open all
the time; the newspapers came out
as usual and the streets were crowded
with people. Fully 10000 citizens we're
here at the time, and the majority of
them were women and children. Gen.
Hood wrote a sharp letter to Gen.
Sherman, protesting against the bonn
bardment of city filled with help
less non-combatants and the federal
commander replied that war was the
science of barbarism and its object
was to kill. He intimated that Hood
was cowardly in fighting in such
place and dared him to come out in
the open field.
During the first few days the shells
terrified the people, but after week
toned to them. There were a few
| functions and entertainments, and la
dies went out visiting and shopping.
They spoke of the rain of shells as they
would of an April shower, and laid
their plans for going out when the
firing held up. Mingled with the sui
len boom of cannon and the rattle of
musketry during these long summer
nights might have been heard the
sounds of birds in the trees and the
merry voices of children engaged in
their innocent sports.
People settled down into a stolid
apathy, with something of fatalism
about it. They began to believe that
they were as safe in one place as in
another, and that they would not die
until their appointed time. So many
explosions made deafening din, and
clouds of smoke hung over the city and
almost stifled the people in their
homes.
But the heavy firing of Sherman's
big guns for six weeks did not pound
down the Notifications, nor destroy
one-fftieth part of the city, nor kill
five persons in each thousand of the
population. The loss of life was
among the soldiers in the trenches
and in the various battles and skir
mishes.-Atlanta Constitution.

Long Canal In India.

Probably the largest canal in the
world--a distinction of some note in
these days of wonderful engineering
feats-is the Chenab irrigation canal
in the northwest provinces of India.
Its breadth is 200 feet, with main
channel some 45O miles long, while the
principal branches have an aggregate
length of 1000 miles, and the village
branches will extend, when completed,
some 1000 miles additional. But,
apart from irrigation, the longest
canal in the world is that which ex-
tends from the frontier of China to
st. Petersburg, and is 4,172 miles in
length. The Bengal canal, connecting
with the river Ganges, is 900 miles
long, and in all India there are $4,000
miles of canals, irrigating 100000 of
acres.

FORTY DAYS COMMANDMENT.
Business and Society In Atlanta He
came Used to Sherman's
Showers of Shells.

When Sherman bombarded Atlanta
for 40 days and fired hundreds of shells
into the city, comparatively few citi-
zens were killed. Our Notifications
were common earthworks of red clay,
and they were about as good after the
siege as they were before the first
gun was fired. The shot and shell
poured into these banks of dirt seemed
to make them bigger and more indie
structible. But there was trouble
when shell struck brick house, and
there was danger of fire when it ex-
ploded in wooden building. Our old
car shed was greatly damaged by four
shells, but the state road roundhouse
received about 20 and was not de-
stroyed.
The first shell fell in Atlanta July
20, 1864, at the intersection of East
Ellis and Ivy streets, and killed a lit
tie child. One entered the Goldberg
house, corner of Hunter and Lloyd
streets, wounding the wife and child
of Dr. Gates. In one house Mrs. Flogg,
Mrs Coons and a child were wounded

A MARYLAND HERO.
He Was a "BOld Soldier Boy" with
His Eyes Shot Out-His
Heroic Act.

In the early part of the way Jury
Commissioner Mansfield was in Fau-
quier county, Va, fighting in several
skirmishes around Fairfax Court
house.
"a bullet in the shoulder incapaci-
tated me for few days, and had to
have it cut out at temporary hospital
in the rear of our lines" said Col.
Mansfield not long ago, as he revived
some of his old war experiences.
"In this hospital noticed one day
soldier leaning out of window. He
had broad bandage over his eyes, and
j knew he couldn't see, for he was
straining forward in a rather danger
GUS position. All the time he was
singing I am a bold soldier boy etc,
Seeing his perilous attitude, I walked
up and pulled him back, telling him
that he was leaning out too far and
might take tumble.
"'All right, SIR said he, 4 can't see,

When the stomach begins to fail in
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life Is simply
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are so common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the sutferings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, and thus relates his
experiences:
