FRIENDLY SQUIRRELS.
Enter n House, Play Around and AM
swer to Their Respective Names
When Called.

What can be done in the way of tam,
ing squirrels has been well illustrated
good many times in this city and no,
where better than at the house and
grounds of the Misses Clary, on Ingra.
ham avenue and Union street, says the
Springfield Republican.
The family began to feed and pet the
squirrels about four years ago and have
got them so that they are very tame
They feed them every day, and the
squirrels appear as regularly as board,
ers. They run all over, and when lei
in through the house play like kittens
about the lawn, turning somersaults
and performing their graceful capers
The family have become very much at
tached to kittens about the lawn, turn
ing somersaults so mischievous that
they got out of patience with the little
animals. If not let into the house when
they expect they have sometimes
gnawed the window sashes and have
gnawed the waterspouts. The greater
part of this, however, has been done by
some red squirrels, which are less
tractable than the grays. They are in
telligent little beasts. The family have
named some of them and the little
things know their names and will come
when called.
To drive them away when bent on
mischief once some one threw bowlful
of water on one of them, and the little
thing darted off with reproachful look
on his face to haunt one for days. To
keep them from gnawing it has some
times been found necessary TO daut
the window sashes with mustard prep.
aration, the taste of which they do not
like.
The family have been wondering why
these squirrels have diminished in size
since they began to feed them. The
old ones seem to be driven away by the
young ones, so that there is a constant
succession of different squirrels, and
those now there are not so big and dc
not have as good fur as those that were
first on the ground. The family have
wondered if constant feeding on nuts
has anything to do with it. They have
always given them such nuts as flberts
and pecans, and have generally cracked
the nuts for them, although the squir.
rels will crack them themselves. But
they have got so used to nuts with a
comparatively soft shell that they will
not crack an ordinary hickory nut, but
carry it off and hide it. Such nuts were

SOLDIER. SPARE THIS TREE"

needd firewood, and set out to get it.
On the Besancon plantation were some
magnificent oaks, centuries old, the
pride of the place and of the family.
The wood-cutting party saw the oaks,
and with axes in hand started for them.
On the plantation with Miss Besan-
con were her sister, two cousins, and
two visiting friends, all young women.
From a window they saw the AK
party approach the group of great
oaks. Then there was a race. When
the soldiers arrived at the first tree
they found six pretty girls in white
with hands joined encircling and clasp
ing the old gray trunk.
1t was a case of Soldier, spare this
tree" but the men wanted wood. They
made for another oak, but again were
outstripped in the race, and that tree,
in its turn, was clasped in the arms
of six plucky southern girls. A third
tree was circled in the same manner,
and then the northern invaders shame
facedly withdrew and secured their
fuel supply elsewhere.
This tree-saving episode reached the
ears of the officers of the army of oc-
cupation and of those of the fleet. They
called in scores to offer their congratu-
iations to the plucky plantation girls.
Among the callers was Midshipman
Watson, now a rear admiral with a fleet
of his own.
1t goes without saying, perhaps, that
the admiration of the federal officers
was no whit diminished when they
learned subsequently that just before
the oak episode the same six southern
girls had wheeled, "by hand" bat
terry of light artillery, which the re-
treating confederates had left behind,
down to the levee and had dumped the
guns into the rushing waters of the
in order that they might
be of no service to the invading host

HELPED TO CAPTURE DEWEY.
story of n Notable Incident of the
Civil War by Brave Ex-
Confederate Soldier,

On the night of the 21st of March,
1863, the federal feet undertook to run
the blockade at Fort Hudson, the Hart
ford and Switzerland, with portfolios
closed, leading. The old Mississippi,
being next in line, opened fire on our
batteries, viz: our nine batteries with
four siege pieces each, of the First Ala
bama. Our batteries Immediately re-
turned the fire. The entire fleet and
immense mortar guns on the federal
side and all the land batteries on the
confederate side, aggregating 36 heavy
guns, were intensely engaged in this
artillery duel.
Melancthon Smith, the gallant cap
tain of the Mississippi, and his officers
and men fought with n heroism and
bravery known only to Americans.
Lieut.. George Dewey was on this vessel,
and was the last man to leave it. His
men, the marines that were captured,
were loud in their praises of his gallant
conduct. The Mississippi had 81 heavy
guns on a side, and threw several broad
sides at our batteries, and during the
engagement it struck on a sandbar, but
fhe officers and men remained on the
vessel fighting until the boat, which
was set on fire by our batteries, was
fercely burning. When it became
necessary to abandon the ship her boats
were lowered asrapidly as possible and
the men and some five or six officers
were landed on the opposite shore.
Melancthon Smith, with several officers,
sailed down the river back to the fleet
under heavy fire. Dewey remained on
the burning vessel until the last man
was taken off, and then, in his efforts
to save these men, he was himself cap
tured at the sugar mill. The night was
very dark and it was impossible for the
federal men to make their escape. The
confederate force, numbering some 300,
crossed the river and captured these
$50 marines and some five or six officers.
On their arrival at Fort Hudson was
on the guard detail near the officers.
The men were loud in their praises
of Lieut.. Dewey, and he was pointed out
to me. He was peculiarly Impressive
a handsome blonde, with blue eyes,
very fair and rather stylish in appear
ance. He seemed to be man of great
determination. The young lieutenant
whom the men praised so highly on that
occasion for his heroism is now the
world-famous American admiral, loved
as much by the south as by the north,
and admired by an the world as the
greatest naval hero of the times. The
federal marines and officers were held
only day, until we could parole them
for exchange, as we had no place to
keep them, being practically surround
ed by Banks army. They were taken
to Baton Rouge and exchanged. The

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
A Wonderful Constellation of Stars
Visible Only South of the Line
of the Equator.

A halo of romance, says Miss Mary
Proctor, in ST. Nicholas, has woven itself
about the stars of the southern cross
one of the most picturesque objects in
the southern skies. AT one time these
stars formed part of the constellation
named the "Centaur," which was once
included under that called "Argo," the
Great Ship; but towards the end of the
eighteenth century the southern cross
became constellation on it's own ac-
count. Nevertheless, its resemblance
to a cross must have been observed long
before this time, since an Arabian globe
has been found on which an outline of
cross is marked about this group of
stars.
The longer bar of the cross points
nearly to the southern pole, the situa-
ton of which in the heavens is not
marked by any brilliant star, but which
is about Az cross lengths from the foot
of the cross. For this reason Alpha and
Gamma are sometimes called the point
efs." In fact, the southern cross may
be looked upon as the hour hand of
great clock, which goes round once in

DEFENDED THE TREEA
Southern Girls Surrounded ThsHA
and Kept the Yankee Sol-
diers on.

A pretty wartime story developed in
Chicago recently through the presence
in the city at the same time of Admiral
Watson, who was passing through on
his way to relieve Admiral Dewey, and
Mrs. Edwin A. Clarke, of Quincy, ILL.,,
who was here visiting her son, Edwin
b. Clarke, the Chicago architect. 1t was
a story of the war of secession and not
of the Spanish weI, but the occurrence
of q foreign conflict in the meantime
does not dim the story's interest.
Admiral Watson's friendship for Mrs.
Clarke dates from the time when he
was n midshipman with Admiral Far
ragut's feet before New Orleans, and
when she was Miss Besancon, south
ern belle, and the strongest kind of a
sympathizer with the secession cause.
Miss Besancon was on her fathers
plantation in a suburb of the city. A
part of the federal army of occupation
camped near the place. The soldiers

What a bee VIII Carry.

A small boy is doing very well indeed
if he can lift and carry 100 pounds or {
little less than his weight. And he
would have to drop it pretty quick, too
But listen to what a bee will do. Not
long ago some scientists caught a mum,
berof bees just as they returned to theil
hive laden with honey, and, after in,
closing them in little box, carefully
weighed them. When the bees had un,
loaded they were again caught, placed
in the same box and weighed second
time. The experiment showed that
when laden the bees weighed three
times as much as when empty. 1t was
therefore concluded that a bee car
carry twice its own weight of honey
and fly for long distance with it, too

Hartford and Switzerland succeeded
in running the blockade and cutting off
the confederate supplies from above,
which aided Banks in finally forcing
the capitulation of that stronghold,
after siege of 81 days.
To appreciate the predicament in
which the Mississippi was placed at the
time of her destruction by us, it will
be necessary for me to explain the
strength, position and elevation of our
batteries. The river bank was very
high. The river was about a mile and
half wide, with the deepest part on
our side. Our batteries were so well
arranged that it would be almost i'm
possible for any vessel to pass, and had
not the night been dark and had not
the two federal vessels that passed
been painted black and had their port
holes closed, so as to conceal their
lights, they would most certainly have
shared the fate of the Mississippi.

THE ARMY SANDWICH.
One Kind That the Old Veteran
Doesn't Find Among the Many
Now Served.

81 read the other day." said civil war
veteran, that there are made nova
days, including some that are peculiar
to seasons and some that are made to
order, rs different varieties of sand
wiches, and that you can always find
ready in the big establishments where
such things are sold, 90 or 30 varieties.
L don't doubt that for a minute, but
I'd like TO bet that there's one kind of
sandwich that you could not find at any
of them, at any season, and that is one
that, if not exactly popuiar, was at least
widely known, and, in some parts of the
country, extensively some 3O-odd years
ago, namely, the pork sandwich.
This sandwich was peculiar to the
army. When the dinner call sounded
you got your tin cup and walked up the
company street to where the cooks fire
was, and where the camp kettles hung
from pole supported at the ends by
crotched sticks driven in the ground.
Pork, hard bread and coffee for dinner;
and if there was plenty of hard bread
you helped yourself from an open box;
if there wasn't plenty, then the cook,
or somebody helping him, dealt it out
as the men came up, so many crackers
to man. Then the cook gave you your
slice of pork, you held out your crackers
and lie laid it on the top one. Then you
got your coffee and started for your
tent, walking down the company street,
juggling the pork on top of the crack
ers in one hand, and the old pint cup
filled with coffee in the other. You did
it without dropping the one or spilling
drop of the other; there was skill born
of long practice.
"Scrumptuous dinner? Well, like a
good many other things, that depended
heap on circumstances. If we hadn't
had anything to eat for week, then o
pork sandwich with cup of coffee was
great delicacy. If we hadn't had any
thing to eat for week but pork sand
wiches, then they got TO be just shade
monotonous,"-N. Y. Sun.

DIAGRAM OF SOUTHERN CROSS.
"a hours, moving in the same direction
as the hands of clock, unlike our great
bear or dipper in the northern heavens,
which appears to go round the northern
pole in direction contrary to the hands
of a clock. This is because the OBJ
servers face, when looking at the north
ern pole, is turned in a direction con-
trary to the face of an observer in the
southern hemisphere toward the south
ern pole.
Near the southern cross is an almost
vacant patch of sky, which is named the
"coal-sack" by early navigators. In the
coal-sack only one very small star can
be seen with the unaided eye, but the
telescope reveals many stars in that
seemingly deserted region, proving
that the striking blackness is due sim
ply to the effect of contrast with the
brilliant ground surrounding it on all
sides. On the northern edge of the coal
sack is star of ruddy hue, known as
Kappa, but too small to be seen with
the unaided eye. Even a small telescope
fails to make one realize the splendor
of this star; but when Sir John Herschel
turned his 20-foot reflector in its direc-
ton, he was surprised to find Kappa
the center of cluster of over 100 stars
of all the colors of the rainbow, con-
trasting wonderfully with one another.
He compared it to superb piece of
fancy jewelry, while Flammarion de-
scribes it as "a casket of glittering
gems"

HOW n ChInnmnn Prnyn.

The Chinese are not addicted to the
use of machinery, but they know sone-
thing about labor-saying devices. A
man who got SO we'll acquainted with a
laundryman that he dropped into his
place to chat, one day noticed a queer
little pad of rice paper over his bunk.
Each sheet was inscribed with numer-
Gus hieroglyphics, and the Celestial was
asked what it meant. He replied that
it was prayer book, and went on to ex-
plain that he tore off a leaf every night
before going to bed, SO as to expose a
fresh application for the ensuing day.
Seeing that the American was shocked,
the Chinaman assured him that the
prayers were first-class in every partic-
ular, and much better than he could
compose himself. He added that these
queer prayer books came from Peking,
and the Chinese government allows
none other than this brand to be is
sued.
