Els UnseIfi Shn ness Toward Another officer
and What Came of 1t.
Speaking on the law of self-sacrifice
work in America, DIR. Henry Mable of
Boston relates an incident of the civil
war. In Sherman's campaign it be-
came necessary in the opinion of the
leader to change commanders. o. o.
Howard was promoted to lead a divis-
ion which had been under the COM
mand of another general. Howard
went through the campaign at the head
of the division, and on to Washington
to take part in the review. Yhe night
before the veterans were to march
down Pennsylvania avenue, General
Sherman sent for General Howard and
said to him:
Howard, the politicians and the
friends of the man whom you sue
ceeded are bound that he shall ride
at the head of his old corps, and l
want you to help me out"
"But it is my command" said How
ard, "and ] am entitled to ride Mt its
head"
"Of course you are" said Sherman.
"You led them through Georgia and
the Carolinas, but, Howard, you are
Christian"
What do you mean?" replied How
ard. IF you put it on that ground it
changes the whole business What
do you mean, General Sherman"
Il mean that you can stand the dis
appointment. You are a Christian
putting it on that ground, there is
but one answer. Let him ride at the
head of The CORPS"
"Yes; let him have the honor" add
ed Sherman, "but, Howard. you will
report to me at 8 o'clock, and ride by
my side at the head of the whole
army" In vain Howard protested,
but Sherman said gently but authori
tatively: You are under my orders"
When the bugle sounded the next
morning Howard was found trembling
like leaf, and it required another or
der from General Sherman before he
was willing to take the place as
signed to him. He had, as a Chris
tian, yielded the place to another
which rightly belonged to Him, and in
the grand review found himself not
at the lead of the corps, but at the
head OF the army. Even worldly men
know where Christians should be who
laid down their lives in self-sacrifice
for others.

HE LIVES WITH HIS SNAKES.
A Catski1i MoU"taineer Who Profcrs
Reptiles to Wife amt Child.


Up in the Catskills lives one of
those men who have an affinity for
snakes. He prefers the companion.
ship of any kind of reptile to that of
the most genial man or fascinating
woman. Wherever he goes he ear.
ries with HIM several of these pets
and on several occasions has sent wo
men into Mysteries and made men ner
vous and angry by taking from his
pocket shining blacksnake or a
poisonous copperhcad and fondlng II
tenderly.
In II moment of abstraction from
his devotion to snakes he asked n wo-
man to marry him, and for some in
comprehensive reason she consented.
1t was not long, however. until she be-
gan to make objection to the numer-
Gus reptiles which the snake lover in
sisted on bringing into the house.
Trouble began and continued. The
sympathy of the neighbors was with
the wife. They advised her to leave a
man who could be little better than a
snake himself to subject her to such
indignities.
She bore 1t until there was baby
In the family. Then the fond father
took to wheeling the baby out in its
perambulator and bringing it back
surrounded by snakes. This was too
much for the mother, and she left the
snake collector for good and all.
No one wanted to rent him a house,
SO he bought little place Of his own
and lives alone with his snakes. The
villagers give the house a wide berth,
and the summer visitors hasten the
other way when they see him coming
down the street with snake coiled
about his neck.-New York Press.

FAMOUS TRINIDAD PITCH LAKE.

It's Immense Deposit of Bitumen Is Prac.
ticaily In- xhnustibie.
The famous pitch lake or great btu
men deposit at Trinidad is situated at
Point Librea, on an elevation at about
n mile from the sea. 1t covers an
area of nearly 100 acres. and its ap-
pearance is that of a dull, still, dark
waste. 1t is irregularly circular, and
its surface perceptibly convex, being
more elevated in the centre and thence
insensibly declining on all sides. In
the centre the pitch Is quite soft-in
fact, semi-liquid-but 1t becomes more
and more hardened as its circumfer-
ence widens out. Except the soft CEN
tral parts the surface Is intersected in
all directions by numerous assures or
chasms, varying In breadth from two
feet to sixteen feet, and from half
T. OF to seven feet in depth, widening
also at the bottom, thus producing, us
it were, inverted angular hollows,
while the sides are regularly rounded
These crevices are at all times filled
with fresh water. Here and there,
where the bitumen is mixed with
earthly matter, grow lichens, mosses
grasses, etc. The centre of the lake
the nitchpot or chaudicre, as 1t Is
called-is at ell times so soft that 1t
would he impossible to venture on it
without incurring the danger of being
engulfed
The lake Is government property.
and parts of 1t are leased out to pri-
vatc individuals. who have to pay
royalties according to the amount OF
pitch removed. which amount is
checked by the government. The lake
is practically ineXhaustible. No mat
ter what quantity is takeA. out it is
replaced by fresh pitch, which always
wells mp to fill the hole. The surface
of the outer edges of this most Won
derful of lakes IS quite hard enough
to walk upon; but n curious result on
sues if you stand still for any length
of time on Cne Spct. For some yards
around YOU the pitch bodily sinks I'M
til it forms a sort of basin. 1t is quite
different to sinking in sand, where
your feet gradually disappear with
out making any apparent difference
in the level of the ground.-Wide
