Men even of the strongest nerves and
the most undoubted pluck do not feel
quite comfortable when, for the first
time, under fire. II Ia no dlshonor to his
manhood II the heart OF the young SOL
dler beats double quick" In his maiden
battle. This feeling soon wears OF.
During the war In the Crlmea tho
men In the allied army were often
heard speculatlng, on the eve OF a con-
6ict, upon the probability of obtaining
certain articles of clothing, OF walch
they stood In need, from the bodies OF
the Russians they expected to slay,
They never seemed to take into consid-
eration their own chances OF being
knocked over and stripped by the Rus
SLAMS. The cool and systematic manner
In which they provided themselves
with foot gear Is worthy Of note.
When q French or English soldier, on
the lookout for "unconsldered trllles"
after a battle, deserted on the field a
corpse Of the enemy whose boots
seemed likely to suit him. down he lay
on his back, and putting his soles
against those of the dead man, ascer-
tained by that mode of measurement
whether the articles were near enough
to a fit to be worth the trouble Of re-
moval.-Ex.

American Fruit.

The action Of the German govern
ment in shutting out American fruit
from their markets comes as a rather
unpleasant surprise to the American
fruit growers, who had hoped from a
foreign demand, to realize better prices
for their products. The reason for this
action is not clearly understood, but is,
according to all accounts, one that is
not chargeable to the quality of the
fruit or its condition. The loss will be
keenly felt by the poorer Germans, as
American fruit, especially apples, had
been since their introduction steadily
growing in favor. The United States
as a fruit growing country has scarcely
an equal in the world. Its wide range
of climate, Its variation in soil, and the
skill with which its fruit-growers han
die their orchards and gardens, makes
Il Of immense value In a commercial
sense. II Germany does not want our
fruits, there are plenty of other coun-
tries that do, and 1t Is scarcely worth
while for our farmers and fruit-growers
to borrow very much trouble about
markets.

Death Ratn I'm Rnttle.

OF the fifteen decisive battles OF the
world the average death rate in the
last FIVE Of them (of which alone re-
liable statistics are preserved) was
about 25 per cent, ranging from 20 per
cent, the British loss at Saratoga, to At
per cent, the loss Of the Swedes at Pull
iowa. OF other great battles 1t is diff
cult to fix the average death rate,
though 1t may be estimated at about 20
per cent. The rates range from 90
(the German loss at Sedan In Septem-
ber, 1S9O) to so per cent, the British
loss at Bloody Albuera. AS matter
Of fact, things stand very much as they
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when 1t does occur, always comes more
quickly, A great battle in which the
quick-fring guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase the
death rate largely, but that remains
to be proved. General statistics prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not a single year has elapsed in
which some war has not caused the
killing OF a large number of men;
while 1t Ia calculated that all the
worlds wars are responsible for the
death Of 14,000, 900, 900 Of human beings.

Dear Madam have been shown In the

fruitless must be any words Of mine
which should attempt to beguile you

ing. But cannot refrain from tender
Ing to you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks Of the republic they

ly Father may assuage the anguish Of
your bereavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory Of the loved and

be yours to have laid 30 costly sac
riflce upon the altar Of freedom. Yours

Tho Best soldIern.

1t is generally supposed that desper-
adoes-men at war with society, and
with whom society is at war-make the
best soldiers; but this is an error. Ac-
cording to the testimony of all expert
enced officers, men Of bad character,
however brave, physically, are a curse
to any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers Of insubordination
and mutiny, and, If there is any trea-
son at work, are pretty sure to be at the
bottom Of 1t.
Moral courage is as essential in mill
tary as in civil life, and II is not an at
tribute of the depraved and vicious. He
who goes to battle with a clear con-
science, confident in the justice Of the
cause for which he risks his life, and

believing that God Is on his aide, Ia the
only true hero. He 10 not bloodthirsty,
he 10 not under the domination OF a
Bangulnary and brutal instinct, but he
10 enthusiastic where ardor Is required,
calm and collected In emergencies,
and can bear up cheortully against re-
verses, hardships and prlyatlons, under
which the desperate would wilt
down." or desert.
What but moral courage, born OF In
tegrity of purpose and confidence In
heaven, sustained the ragged, half
starved, ill-paid soldiers OF a bankrupt
republic, In their desperate struggle
with the well-appointed legions OF tho
enemy, during the darkest hours OF the
American revolution? The ice-ob-
structed Delaware had not been crossed,
the battles OF Trenton and Princeton
had never been fought and won, the
horrors Of the winter bivouac at Valley
Forge had never been endured, the In
estlmable blessing Of our national inde-
pendence had never been attained but
for the moral courage and fortitude OF
good and true men, at peace with God
and their own consclences.
Rowdles and desperadoes never
achieve such exploits, or submit pa
tiently to such hardshlps, as have made
the heroes OF 20 immortal in history
1t may be set down as an axiom that
bad men never make good soldiers.
