IT PUZZLED HIM.-A man who went
away from home sometime ago to at
tend convention of church people
was struck with the beauty of the lit
tie town in which the gathering was
held. He had plenty of time, says
the St. Soseph News, and while wan
dering about walked into the village
cemetery. 1t was beautiful place,
and the delegate walked around among
the graves. He saw a monument, one
of the largest in the cemetery, and
read with surprise the inscription on
it:
"a lawyer, and an honest man."
The delegate scratched his head, and
looked at the monument again. de
read the inscription over and over.
Then he walked all around the monu-
ment, and examined the grave close
ly. Another man in the cemetery ap-
preached and asked him:
"Have you found the grave of an
old friend ?"
"No," said the delegate, "but l was
wondering how they came to bury
those two fellows in one grave"

and Flaherty. The latter was in his
element, and showed the greatest cour-
age, GOODNESS, and observation-disclosures
1 have every seen. After every shot
he fired he would call out in slow
tones: "Faith, an is it me red scalp
We want to illewminate yer wigwams ?
Well, take a pace of cowld lead in
sthead." "Coom a litthle closer, ye
red snakes, Frisky an me want to pay
a debt we owe ye;" and he would fire
away deliberately, with sure and dead
ly aim. Owing to his bravery and that
of the other men we came out conquer
ors, and felt very light-hearted when
we saw what was left Of the red men
disappearing over the hills, leaving
the dead and wounded behind them.
The men lost no time in Harvesting
the mules, packing the wagon, and
moving on. After the last Indian had
disappeared, Frisky regained his Gus
tomary spirits and activity, and was
the hero of the hour, for we all appre-
ciated the fact that had it not been for
his warning we would have been mas
sacred in the wagons. That night we
put 25 miles between us and the bat
tlefeld, and save for a slight flesh
wound on my arm, and grazed spot
underneath Flaherty's red hair, we
were none the worse. Soon after |
reached Washington I sent Frisky a
gold medal; on it was engraved: "For
Frisky, the wisest mule that ever
lived" He wore it fastened to the
collar of his harness until he died.

NEATLY TURNED.-The New York
Times quotes a lady of that city as
saying that she had just received the
most satisfactory compliment that had
ever drifted in her way. She thus de-
scribes how it happened:
I was fastening along the sidewalk
when I saw approaching, as 1 thought,
an out-of-town friend whom I had not
seen for sometime. hurried my pace,
and without waiting fairly to reach
her, began to express my delight at
the meeting. But the words froze on
my lips, for just then saw that 1 he'd
been mistaken.
"Oh !' 1 said, with a smile of apol-
ogy, 81 beg your pardon, thought
YOU were friend of mine."
The woman smiled in response, and
then after a second of survey and hes
itation, which pointed the remark, she
said, with a graceful bow and a charm
ing air of good breeding, 81 wish I
were, madam" and passed on.
1t all passed in a breath, and she
was almost out of hearing before l
rallied myself and called, "Thank
you," after her.

THE COLORED MILL.
Pfckaninnies Learning to Manipulate the
Looms.

Looms.
Columbia Register, Tuesday:
The colored cotton mill will be
opened for work about April Is. Sew
eral looms have been gotten into posi-
ton already, and yesterday there were
half a dozen pickaninnies about Is
years old industriously learning the
difference between "warp" and "woof"
and "combs" and "cards." The ex-
pert mill men teaching them declare
that they make apt scholars and learn
the intricacies of the looms readily.
The question of the Negroes capa-
bility being settled, the next which
suggests itself is his "stickability."
The Negro is, as a race, musical and
music-loving, sentimental and sensu.
Gus, faithful to others, but negligent of
self, and his cup of happiness is easily
filled. But the Negro race has made
wonderful strides in recent years, and
has assimilated many of the instincts
characteristic of the "Yankee," the
term which best expresses the hustle
and vigilance of the average American
citizen.
The Negro is more and more hecom-
ing to appreciate the realities of life,
and of the future, and it is probable
that when this avenue for employment
is offered to him he will see its advan-
tages and stick.
If the business part of the mill is
managed properly and the Negro's in
terest taken care of by those in con-
troll, it has the promise of success.

H6- During the early months of the
war a certain brigade was being drilled
in Virginia. Brigadier- General -
was a Louisianian, and his son was
his adjutant. The generals voice was
not strong, and his son often repeated
his orders for him. On the occasion
in question the brigade was marching
in fours; and the brigadier general
gave the order, "Head of the column
to the left" His son and adjutant,
dressed to kill, galloped forward, and,
when he reached the head of the COL
umn, shouted, in his powerful voice,
"Pa says, Head of the column to the
left" Discipline had not been per.
fected then; and what "Pa" wanted
very nearly broke up the ranks, hun
dreds of men laughing, as they march
ed, at the adjutant's infusion of domes-
tic relations into military tactics.

A SLENDER THREAD OF MERCURY.
While almost any one knows about
the principles on which an ordinary
thermometer operates, there are a
number Of things about this apparent
ly simple little instrument which are
not generally known, and which are
of good deal of interest. One of the
most peculiar of these is the question
of the length of tube which the mer-
curry in the bulb of an ordinary ther-
mometer would fill if it were all
stretched out in a single column the
size of that in the tube.
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say
from to Is feet, while as matter OF
fact this column of mercury would in
an extremely delicate instrument be
miles in height. The reason Of this is
that the column of mercury, while it
appears quite large, is really of almost
infinitesimal size. 1t the tube of a
thermometer is broken, one is at frs,
at loss to see where the mercury
goes in, but a close examination will
disclose fine line, much thinner than
hair, running across the end Of the
tube, and this is one end of little slit
in which the mercury rises. As it has
its fiat side toward the eye it appears
to be quite large, and the convexity OF
the outside of the tube, through which
it is seen, magnifes it and gives it that
rounded appearance which is so de-
ceptive. The reason why the slit is
made so small is to give the greatest
ratio of result for the expansion of the
mercury in the bulb.-Boston Tran
script.
