DIsGRACED BY SPENT BALLS.
Queer Notion Which Obtained
Among the Soldiers

During the rebellion men said the
hardest wounds to bear were those from
spent balls. For some reason it was
counted disreputable to be hit by a
spent ball or a splinter from a rock,
and many men worried along under tho
most painful wounds without going to
the hospital or without even consult
ing the surgeon. Some of these fellows
carry the marks to-day and say moth
ing about them In speaking of this,
the Major tells the following story:
The official report of the capture of
Lookout Mountain" said the Major,
STATED that General Walter c. Whit
aker was wounded, but that he didn't
leave the field. That is all true, but it
is only half the story. Whitaker was
one of the most impetuous, driving Of
ficers in the army. He was pushing
things in great shape in front when he
was struck by rifle ball. He became
deathly sick, and it was supposed at
first that he was fatally wounded The
surgeons and some of his associate Of
ticers gathered about him, anxious and
nervous. A surgeon opened the Gen
erals coat and vest looking for the
wound, which seemed to be in the vicin-
ity of the stomach. He found between
the vest and the underclothing a rife
ball that had broken the skin
He said quietly, A spent ball The
General opened his eyes and looked up
wrathful and indignant. What's that I?
What's that? Somebody hit me with a
spent ball? 1 won't stand it. Bring
me my horse!' And, fairly throwing
aside all the people about him. he
sprang to his feet, climbed on his horse,
and with his clothing in disarray and
his hat banged on his head started for
the front, swearing at the man who
had hit him with spent ball."-Chi-

Since Man Turned Cook,

Who Knows New Woman cries to-day
But | was somewhat hasty
When l foreSwore the married state?
Some men can turn out tasty
And tempting dishes when they try;
And matrimony's looking
Less priSonlike, / must confess
Since men have turned to cooking.
Should we for single blessedness,
Beloved sisters thus band
Against the solid comfort and
Convenience of a husband
Who'd minister to each with cups
OF timely tea? Nay Frates,
Come bake and broil for US, and watch
Our lares and penatesi
When from the pulpit or the bar,
Or busy mart or bucket
Shop, weary woman comes at night,
what most uncommon luck it
Would seem to find a man around
Who'd keep the kettle boiling,
And incidentally could keep
Her temper, too, from spelling!
oh! Mans improving, there's no doubt
And soon he'll put stitch in
Decadent stockings now and then,
As well as mind the kitchen,
To-day, l m more than half inclined
Toward Love who's gayly crooking
His finger, beck'ning me to turn
To Man who turns to cooking!

The Gender Of the Moo,

I'm English, French, Italian, Latin
and Greek. the moon is feminine; but
in all the Teutonic languages the moon
is masculine. Which of the twain is it's
true gender? We go back to the San
skirt for an answer. Professor Max
Muller rightly says con the Religions
of IndiaO: 1t is no longer denied thai
for throwing light on some of the dark
est problems that have to be solved by
the student of language nothing is so
useful as critical study of Sanskrit.
Here the word for the moon is mas.
which is masculine. Mark how even
what Hamlet calls words words,
words, lend their weight and value to
the adjustment of this great argument.
The very moon is masculine, and, like
WordsWorth's child, is father of the
man. Moon Lore.

COMMANDING THE PEACE.

The building Of the new navy began
under President Arthur. when the Re
publican party for the first time in
many years secured full control of
the Government and reversed the
policy of the Democracy, which had
INSTRUCTED all efforts in that direction
to that time made.
What we are now doing is really only
resumption and continuation of the
original policy established under Pres
ident Arthur, says the New York
Tribune" The war scare therefore
has had one splendid result; one for
which we have reason to be thankful.
1t has swept all carping and whining
opposition to a proper state of prep
aration out of the way, and promises
to give US position, and command for
US respect in the family of nations
that was not ours even a few months
ago
There is no reasonable man in the
United States now; in fact, no men ex-
cept those cankered with pessimism and
coated with prejudice and hatred of
free institutions under a republican
form Of government, who do not real
ize what a miserably helpless condition
We were in, with insufficient dry
docks, uncompleted harbor defenses,
incapable forts on coast lines, empty
magazines, unmounted guns, I'M
manned batteries, ships with INSULT
Gent forces of engineers, a naval body
without the necessary line officers, a
skeleton army with poor arms in large
part, and so scattered and broken up
as to be useful only for border gar
rison duty, with a few mounted
troops patroling Western plains or
guarding forest reserves.
All this the people are now con-
WINGED must be changed. We must
have a navy sufficiently numerous in
ships and strong enough to command
respect for the rights of our citizens
abroad; to protect our commerce,
compel observance of humane laws,
and to defend or assault in case the
horrible necessity of war is upon us.
We must have an army commensurate
with the Importance of the country
and the numerical strength of the pop
ulatiOn, sufficient at least to garrison
our forts, man our coast defenses, pa
troll our borders and hold savage
tribes in check
We must be ready with ammunition
and all ordnance supplies, and with
arms of all needed kinds and of the
best types. In short, we must COM
mand the peace by being ready at any
moment to compel obedience at home or
abroad. We want dry docks of suffi-
cient capacity to accommodate any
ship we build, and no more be COM
PEELED to send our battleships to for
eign countries to be locked for the
simple process of cleaning We want
coaling stations well disposed and
fully supplied, that we may not be
placed at the mercy or whim of any
foreign Power or petty State for sup
ply of the motive power for our ships.
In short, the nation must be the most
peaceful Of any on earth by being
made the most capable to command
peace

Ukiah Republican Press: Ira Aver
the special agent of the Treasury De
partment in charge of the tin plate sta
tistics, has published his report FOR last
year from which it appears that the
home production of tin plate during the
fiscal year amounted to 446, 9S2, 063
pounds: that the total imports during
the same time We're pa, 407 sol pounds;
that the exports were 139, 246, 1907 pounds
and that the capacity of the mills in
operation at the date of the report was
650,0O000 pounds annually. In other
words, that the consumption was 5J2,
1854 pounds. or nearly hundred
million pounds less than the capacity
of our own mills. The price on the 4th
of January last year was for American
tin plate So 10 per ton; for imported
81 10: which is the lowest ever known,
the decline having been steady from the
time our American mills began to put
their products UPON the market. Our

Though Utah is the youngest CT the
states, she is one of the most progress
sive. Her people are active, industrious
and int -iligent. They believe in young
men, and selected Hon. w. X. King as
their representative in congress. He
is "a years old is Utah boy, but on
his fathers side came from the old
King and Hancock families of New
England. He is n lawyer and a graduate
of the University of Michigan. He has
had considerable experience in pub
lie life, having filled numerous posi-
tions in his native state. He served in
three sessions of the legislature, and
was president of the state senate, and
has also been associate justice of the
supreme court of the territory of Utah.
Judge King has always been q dem

and uncompromisng in his views. The

worked on farm, attending school in
money to attend the Indiana normal
school for two years. After this he
taught school. studying law when his
days duties were over. and was admit
ted to practice in 1877. Two years later
he was elected states attorney, and be-
fore his eight years of service in that
Office were completed the people
thought SO highly of him as to select
him as their representative in congress.
1t is the general belief Of his colleagues
that Mr.. Jett will justify the wisdom
of his electors.
The youngest man in the house to
have attained high judicial honors be-
fore coming to congress is Judge james
NJ. Briggs, who represents the Second
Georgia district. When barely 80 years
Of age he was appointed, by the gov
ernor of his state, judge of one of the
circuits, and he was twice elected 10
that Office by the legislature. On the
bench, Judge Briggs record was ex-
