One Leisure Hour.

A few years ago two poor boys from
the old town of Plymouth, Mass, wen,
down to a lonely part of the coast to
gather a cerlain seaweed from the
rocks, which, when bleached and dried,
is sold as Irish moss for culinary pur-
poses. The boys lived in a little hut
on the beach; they were out before
dawn to gather or prepare the moss,
which had to be wet with salt water
many times, and spread out In the sun
until it was thoroughly whitened. They
had one hour each day free from work.
One of them spent it lying on the sand
asleep. The other had brought out his
books and studied for that hour, try

HCoNy Battles.

More lives were lost in the battle Of
Leipsic than at any other. 1t took
place Oct. 16, IS and 10, 1913, between
the French and the Austrians, Prus-
slams and Russians. The French were
16O, 900 strong, the allies 24O, 1000. More
than $4,000 men perished, and the
french were defeated. Such losses
throw into the shade the losses Of the
American war. At Gettysburg $4,000
were killed and wounded; at Chicka-
mauga, 2S,OOO. In the battles of the
Wilderness 6,7sS men were killed and
at Spottsylvania 6,296. In the final at
tack on Kars, during the Russo-Turk-
ish war of 1878, 5000 men fell. The
losses in the attacks on the Shipka
pass amounted to about 10000 men.
