GEN. FORESTS ABILITY.
Gen. Sherman Called Him the Great
est Man in the Civil War.

1t is related of General Nathan Bed
ford Forrest that IN one occasion a
loquacious widow asked him why his
beard was still bl; TX while his hair
was turning gray General Forrest an
swered that he cou give no explana-
ton unless that ''he had used his brain
little more than his jaw" 1t was this
quality that made eneral Forrest one
of the greatest sold ,rs of his time, the
soldier of whom GEL eral Sherman said:
after all. think Forrest was the
most remarkable man our civil war
produced on either side. In the first
place, he was unedLcated, while jack
son and Sheridan and other brilliant
| leaders were soldiers by profession.
He seemed always to know what was
doing or intended to do, while I am
free to confess | could never tell or
form any satisfactory idea of what he
was trying to accomplish
Lord Wolseley, commander of the
British army, wrote of him: Forrest
had no knowledge of military science,
nor of military history, to teach him
how he should act He was entirely
ignorant of what other Generals in
previous wars had done under very sim
liar circumstances. What he lacked in
book lore was to a large extent COM
pensated for by the soundness Of his
judgment upon all occasions, and by
his power of thinking and reasoning
with great rapidity under fire. In
spired with true military instinct, he
was verify natures soldier. In war;,
said Napoleon, men are nothing;
man is everythingn 1t will be difficult
to find a stronger confederation of this
maxim than is to be found in the his
tory of General Forests operations"
In the firm belief that General For
rest was one of the great military gen.
fuses of the century, Dr. John Wyeth
has prepared a biography, which is
not only the record of FORESTS mem
orable and picturesque life, but also a
narrative of his dash
ing raids in the most important COM
paigns of the war.

Milking the Reindeer.

With good deal of running, gestur-
ing, and, shouting the herd was finally
brought into the Enclosure, only few
of the widest animals escaping over
the fell, past some of the little chill
dren. Rushing into the Enclosure in an
unbroken stream Of more than thous-
and animals, the herd did not cease
running-the reindeer is always on
the move, except at it's regular resting
times-but continued to circle against
the sun. The reindeer in these circu-
lar motions always runs against the
sun; if it runs with it it is a sign of
disease of the brain. In the midst OF
the reindeer leaping, bounding, and
butting in a friendly way, while giving
out their peculiar granting sound, the
picturesque figures of our Lapponian
friends were seen, surrounded by
thicket of horns. Our hostess, having
hung her baby to birch in, the middle
of the Enclosure. stood, like num-
Der of other women, mostly girls, with
a wooden scoop in her hand, ready to
milk the first of the female reindeer
caught while at the outskirts of the
Enclosure stood number of children
with large pals to receive the milk
from the scoops, the smaller children
either running about playing outside
the camp or giving salt and angelica
to some of the tamest animals. The
most important actors on the scene,
however, were the men moving slowly
about in the midst of the herd, holding
the lasso behind their back in the
right hand and looking sharply at the
running animals.
AS quick as lightning a lasso whiz-
zed through the air, the frightened ami
mails recoiling and then increasing
their speed. When the lasso hit the
mark the COW was hauled in, and tied
to birch while the milking was done.
So they kept on for nearly two hours
The quantity of milk yielded by each
animal Is very small, at the most about
a teacupful, but it is of very high n4-
tritive quality. The milking, which
is by no means regular, is done, if pos
sible, once a day. In Winter time
there is, of course, no milking. To
prevent the calves from sucking their
mothers pieces of bone are tied into
their mouths, or the udders are be-
with tar. Some of the Lapps
consider it sinful to milk the reindeer,
and thus deprive the calves of their
food.-The Century.
