Spelled the Rescue.

Major Tom Williams some time ago told me the story of one of Colonel Glib Wright's adventures in South Carolina in the cloasng months of the war. 5S-- :
 It seems that General Fitzpatrick, the Federal cavalry commander, had cap- tured a number of Confederates, and Wright was anxious to rescue them. He called for volunteers to go with him into the enemy's camp at night and picked out the men he needed from those who responded.
 The Federal troopers were snoozing quietly in their camp and on both sides of the road leading to it, and their pris- oners dozed by fire near the center.
 Just how they got there would be hard to explain, but shortly after mid night Glib Wright, at the head of a few men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp
 The drowsy Federals took them for @ party of their own men returning from scout, and paid no attention to them. Everything was working smoothly until one of the prisoners caught a glimpse of the newcomers. The fellow lost his head and ruined the whole business. He leap ed to his feet and looked into the faces of the advancing Confederates.
 "Horray, boysp' he shouted in his delirious delight. "Hang me, if there ain't old Glib Wright and his crowd. Durned if the whole Confederate army ain't right behind him!' ... The prisoners all rushed forward with the regular rebel yell, and the sleeping Federals suddenly became very wide awake. From every side they showered bullets on their visitors, and Wright and his men had almost miraculous deliverance Several were killed and wounded, but the leader and the ma jority of the party managed to gel away.-Atlanta Constitution.

Queen Wilhelmina.

There is no longer any doubt that Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands, is engaged to marry Prince Bernhard of Saxe- Weimar, who is now 20 years of age and the second son of the late hereditary Prince of |. Weimar. The young queen has lately been in, Paris seeing the sights and selecting trous- seau. Her dresses, rides in the Bois and goodness of face and character have been items af interest in the Paris jour nals. They deem it significant that she shops in Paris instead of Berlin and be- heve the future queen valuable person to cultivate.

"An Hands Abandon ship!"

A naval officer thus describes the realistic "AH hands abandon ship" drill: "Two minutes after the word has been passed every ships boat has swung from its davits into the water, and a minute later every boat is thoroughly provisioned and watered. Within four minutes, and often ill much quicker time, every man of the ships company. from the commanding officer down, is occupying the station ill the boat called for by his ships number, and then the command Sheer off is given. The boats are hauled away couple of hun dred feet from the deserted vessel, and she rides without human soul aboard her, often, when the drill is gone through in midocean, in sea that the 1andsman would account terrific.
 "Then the word Boardr is passed, and within eight minutes at the most all hands are not only on board again, but every boat has been relashed to the davits, all of the provisions water, in struments and other gear have been re- moved, and the ships company is in @ fair way to get to sleep again.

ANIMALS THAT COUNT.

Instances That Prove Their Possession of F the Computing Faculty.
 Several years ago there lived in Cin- cinnati mule which was employed by a street railway company in hauling cars up steep incline. This animal was hitched in front of the regular team and Inhitched as soon as the car arrived at the top of the hill It made noon q have forgotten the number, but will say 50 for the sake of convenience) and like number in the afternoon, resting for an hour at noon. AS soon as the mule completed its fiftieth trip it marched away to it's stable without or ders from its driver. as.s ..a
 To show that it was not influenced by the sound of the factory whistles and bells the following remarkable action on the part of this animal is vouched for by the superintendent of the line, who gave me these data: On a certain occasion, during musical festival, this mule was transferred to the night shift, and the very instant it completed its fiftieth trip it started for the stables. Ii took the combined efforts of several men to make it return to it's duty. At night there were no bells or whistles to inform the creature that "quittine time" had come. It had counted the trips, and having finished its full quota of 50 it thought that the time for rest and food had arrived.
 Some monkeys give unmistakable evi dences of the possession by them of the computing faculty. In 1889 made the acquaintance of 8 very intelligent chim panzee wLich could count as high al three. That this was not a trick sug gested by sensual impulses I had ample opportunity of satisfying myself. Int owner of the animal would leave the room. no one being present but myself and when I would call for two marbles or one marble or three marbles, as thu case might be, the monkey would grave ly hand over the required number. Ro names mentions an ape which coult count three, the material used in hi l experiment. being straws from the ami malls cage. Wolff, Darwin, Forbes ans Hartman also give instances of the com putting faculty in apes and monkeys.- James Weir in Lppincott's Magazine.

New York Press: There are. 1t is es- timated, 300, ,0O0 miles of highway roads in the United States, about 20 per cent. of the roads of all the world, says the Buffalo Review. Great Britain has 12O,- 900 miles of highways, and these are some of the best in the world. Germany has 275 ,OO0 miles of roads, and some of them country can be. France, which has taken an enlightened view of the good-roads question for many years, and has spent by government or local authority over $1 ,O0O, ,0O0,O ,OO0 on highways, has road mileage of 330, ,000, more than any other country. Russia, with an enormous area, has only 10000 miles of roadways, while Italy, smaller country, has B, 900. There are approximately, though the number is steadily on the decline, 14 ,- GOO, GOO horses in the United States (there were 15,00- ,0O0 by the census of 1S9O), and there are about 2,OOO, 900 mules, prin- cipally in the south, the annual cost of fodder for these animals being $1 ,5OO, ,- GOO, ,000. On fine stone roads one horse can haul fully as much as three horses can haul over the average dirt road of this country. It is estimated that it would be necessary to build about 1,OO0, ,OOC miles of macadamized roads in the United States in order to have as good system of public highways as Is found in several European states. At $4OO0 a mile this would involve an outlay of $4,OOO 1000, ,OO( Ia pretty large sum. But if one-half oi the draft animals could be dispensed with the building of such roads there would be an annual saving of $7OO, ,O0O, 900 ir the food bill. Consequently, if road bonds were issued bearing per cent. in terest, 6,000, ,00O miles of macadamized roads could be built without increasing the annual expenses one dollar.
