Rocks in the British Museum,

People often ask how many books
there are in the British Museum, bui
nobody seems TO know. In fact there
are so many that it is impossible tt
count them. Some years ago it was es
timated by measurement that there
were 100000 books there. Since thai
estimate was made the number ha.
increased, so that at the
present time the total is probably near

Ship Taken by Cavalrymeu,
A Gettysburg Heroine.

>
Lieut.. Col. John +. Weston, assistant
commissary general of subsistence, has
received the medal of honor recently
awarded to him by Congress for BRAY
ery during the civil war.
1t seems that this particular act Of
bravery was performed in 1864, shortly
after the battle Of Resaca. Lieut.. Col.
Weston was then major of cavalry at
tached to Gen. Wilson's division. He
and his men We're in Alabama, about
forty miles above Montgomery. Word
came to Gen. Wilson that there was a
Confederate transport, laden with food
and supplies, somewhere near the juno
ton of the TallapoOsa and the Coosa
rivers. Major Weston was ordered to
proceed up the bank of the Tallapoosa
to locate the transport, capture it If he
could, and if he couldn't, to report the
best way of capturing it.
After march Of several miles along
the shore of the TallapoOsa, Major Wes-
ton saw on the opposite bank Of the
river two or three canoes, which he
thought might be more useful TO him In
hunting up a transport than cavalry
horses. The river was high, however,
and there was no bridge In sight. Some
of the officers under him told the major
that fording the river was out of the
question and that there was no other
means of getting across. The major
had different idea, however, and
promptly acted upon it. Hating his
command, he left most of his men in
charge of the horses, while he and a
half dozen others walked along the
bank, looking for a place where the
water was not so high.
Such place was found after a short
time. Strapping his own revolver on
the top of his head and ordering his
men to do likewise, the major with six
followers plunged into the river, swan
to the opposite bank, secured the ca
noes, rowed back across for all of the
rest of the command, save just enough
to guard the horses, and went on up
stream. Reaching the mouth of the
Coosa and rowing upstream little
way, Major Weston sighted the trans
port in little bayou only a short dis
tance ahead.
Pulling to the shore and beaching the
canoes, Major Weston began making
signals which might catch the attention
of some one on board the transport.
Presently he had the pleasure of seeing
n gig push off from the transport and
come toward shore. When the gig ran
up on the beach, who should step out of
it but the captain of the rebel supply
boat
What do you want with me?" asked
the captain.
"And who may you be-" asked Major
Weston.
81 am the captain of the transport out
there" was the reply.
"Ah, then you are just the man l

7 he Craze fo- Relics.

"A good many of the boys upon their
return from Cuba" said the colonel,
had the same passion for relics as we
had in the old time l remember par
ticularly aggravated case at Fort Don
elsOn. After the battle the boys were
in craze for relies, and they gathered
up stacks OF old bayonets, belt plates,
revOlvers, swords, bullets, and even
cannon balls. One captain, who lived
at Fort Defiance, Ohio, had about three
bushels Of relics stored in his tent
when we were ordered to move. He
threw most of them away, but he kept
a handsomely ornamented artillery
sack, which he decided to use as hav-
ersack. The morning on which we
were to march he had taken great pains
to supply this new haversack with eat
ables. He had teacup Of butter, a
bottle of pickles, some cold chicken, a
box of condensed milk, and harltack,
and gingerbread. He left the well-flll-
ed haversack hanging on the gun
stack, while he went to look after some
company business, and one of the boys,
while he was absent, dropped a six
pound cannon ball in it.
This went in, Of course, without ref
erence to the butter or gingerbread or
the condensed milk. When the cap
tain returned he swung his haveEsack
over his shoulder. He was surprised
to find it SO heavy, but he made no In
vestigation, and submitted no remarks.
The boys could see that 1t were on him
during the day. He changed it from
carried it under his arm. When the
regiment stopped for the MONDAY meal
the captain, with his mouth watering,
sat himself on a stump to enjoy his
well-ordered dinner. When he opened
his haversack, or. artillery sack, he
was amazed. The cannon ball in GO
ing in had crushed the butter cup and
uncovered the condensed milk, and but
ter and condensed milk were smeared
over all the other articles in the haver-
sack The captain caught sight of the
canhon ball, and, swearing and griev
ing, bhrew it as far as he could Into
the Woods. After his dinner, however,
he thought better Of it, went out into
the woods and hunted up the cannon
ball, and swore that as he had carried
it so lar he would carry it through.
When I'last saw him he was using it as
a paper weight" Chicago Inter Ocean.
