"ArtillerY Punch"

No one who has ever enjoyed the
hospitality of the Ancient Savannah
Artillery was surprised to hear that
it was too much even for our gallant
Admiral Dewey. It was too much fr
President Arthur when he made his
famous visit to the Garden City of
Georgia, and it has been too much
for every Northern visitor who has
been the recipient Of the courtesies of
this famous Southern club, says Les
lies Weekly. The Savannah Artillery
is. the second oldest military associa-
ton in the United States, Boston hav-
ing the first Hon. John e. Ward, now
Of New Jersey, was it's former captain,
and he will be rememb especially
as chairman of the convention at
which Buchanan was nominated for
the presidency. A popularity of the
entertainments provided by this milf
tary organization is a punch known as
the Artillery" punch. It is a seduct-
i've mixture Of brandy and. champagne,
served as cold as ice, with a few
straw berries serenely 4 floating about
the top. IN its workings on the inner
man it is the most insidious, deceptive
and entangling concoction ever labeled
with the name Of punch. The mere
fact that Admiral Dewey was indis-
posed after a visit to the Savannah Ar
tillery, therefore, need not occasion
surprise. Atlanta Constitution.

India's Idols.

The number of India,s idols is said to
exceed 333, 900 ,000. Every village has
It's special idol, and frequently more
than one Brahma is the supreme god.
and appears in three forms-Brahma.
the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and
silva, the destroyer. Each of the three
is supposed to be married, and thus
there are six deities which are supreme
in India. Vishnu the preserver, the
most Worshipped, is shown black, and
with four arms. His wife, Lakshmi.
is the goddess of prosperity and good
luck. Very different are silva and his
wife. He is the destroyer, and is rep
resented as a man powdered over with
ashes and wearing tiger-skin. A
necklace of human skulls decorates his
throat, while he carries a club or tri-
dent, surmounted by human heads and
bones. China and Japan have immense
numbers Of idols, many of their tenn
pies being full Of them, One japanese
temple at Sanjusangen has SO many
that, if placed in line, they would ex-
tend for, not. less than half a mile.
Many OF the Chinese are said to spend
from 20. to Is per cent Of their income
on idol worship.

could find no squaW. But, determine
to follow the advice Of the good spirit,
Little Injin now left his people, and
he jouTneyed to a valley far in the
east, where he met an Indian girl who
became his squaW. T hen came a
papoose to Little Injin, and he grew
and he grew, until he was over six
feet tai and had the strength Of a bear
and the feetness Of the deer. All the

bad spirit, in the form of a woodpeck-

the valley Indians approach across

and he warned him and his people.

Digestion Visible with X-Rays.

The use of the fiuorescent screen
has been greatly extended, says a
writer in Appleton's Popular Science
Monthly. DR.. Francis H. Williams OF
Boston, has used it as a valuable in
strument in medical diagnosis, espe-,
clally in studying lung diseases. It
has been used at the Harvard Medical
School to follow the processes of diges-
ton. To accomplish this, in one in
stance a goose was fed with food
mixed with subnitrate if bismuth, a
salt which absorbs x-rays The pass
age OF the dark mass down the long
neck Of the bird could be. traced on
the huorescent. screen, and the pecu-
harities of it's motion in the outlet
could be studied. Y A cat was also fed
with the same substance, and the
movements Of its stomach noted.
These movements were analogous to
those of the hearth other words.
We're rhythmical when the processes
OF digestion were going on normally
and uninterruptedly. When, how
ever, the cat was irritated, it may be:
by the sight Of a dog, these pulsations
instantly ceased. AS soon as the
source Of vexation was removed and
the purring of the animal showed a
contented frame of mind, the stomach
resumed its rhythmica1 movements.
The dependence of the digestive APP
paratus on the state of the nervous
system was thus clearly shown. The
female cat was much more tractable
under these experiments than the
male. II q

In the mountains west OF the big
gorge lived the tribe Of Cappa Tom,
and the chieftain of the tribe, Singing
Water, was proud Of his 500 braves,
who were tall and 1.-THE and strong
and mighty huntsmen; and he was
proud Of the buxom squaws and the
tat proposes in the mountain camp.
No enemy in the region for a hundred
leagues about dared give battle to
Singing Water, for the fame of his
braves had spread even to the great
forest on the north and the marsh

Once upon a time, SO the legend
says, Singing Water found among the
children in the tepees a poor little
papoose, a shrunken diminutive dwarf
child, Of whom the other Indian boys
made sport and forbade him their
amusement; SO Little Injin' would
sit cross-legged apart from his fellows,
and watch them at play.

Great Armies on the March.

~ From some of the descriptions the
newspaper correspondents have sent
nome OF the United States army when
on the march in the Philippines, most
people may have an idea of the great
length of an army as it is stretched
out on the road. Correspondents with
the British army in South Africa have
noticed the same thing, as one column
or another has advanced. One such
writer states that single battalion of
Infantry 1000 strong is the
strength of an English battalion
takes up road length of 525 yards, in
Guiding about eighty, yards for stray
glers. A battalion of field artillery
takes up 26O yards, and regiment Of
cavalry takes up when marching four
abreast, $50 yards. An army corps,
with its staff, wagons, guns, hospitals,
etc, would extend over thirty-four
miles Of road. An army marches
slowly on the best Of roads. It is much
more firing marching in crowd than
walking alone. Soldiers go at the rate
Of about two and one-half or two and
three-quarter miles an hour, and in the
English army they do a good days
march when they cover thirteen miles.
This accounts for the fact that when
news is printed of an army marching
S to attack surprise is expressed that the
attack is delayed so long. It takes a
day or more for all the men to assem-
BILE on the battlefield. The rates of
march for the various arms differ, OF
course, but the fastest arm has to suit
its pace to the slowest. Here are the
English official rates: Infantry in
small bodies, three miles an hour; in
fantry in large bodies, two and half
to two and three-quarter miles,; cav
airy. walking, four miles; cavalry,
trotting, nine miles; cavalry, gallop-
ing. fifteen miles; artillery, walking,
three miles; artillery, trotting, eight
miles. In our army the average march
for Infantry is from fifteen to twenty
miles a day When troops move in
large bodies and particularly in the
vicinity Of the enemy, the march Z is
conducted in several columns so as to
diminish the depth of the column and
to expedite the deployment into line
Of battle. In large con am the
roads, if possible, are left to the ar
tillery and trains. When long dis
tances have to be covered rapidly. it
IS done by changing gaits. The The most

The Mule Begt.

Evansville Grd.) Cor. Chicago
Record: Indiana has long been known
to possess a gas belt, a coal belt and a
stone belt, but few knew that it has
the unique distinction of having a
mule belt" This part of Indiana be-
longs to what is known as the .'pock-
et' and is located in the southwestern
part of the state. 1t has been truth
fully said that you can herd together
all the mules in the districts of Com
gressmen Faris, Overstreet, Lands
Steele, Cromer, Crumpacker, Brick and
Robinson and still Heminway Of the
First District would be able to give to
the eight Congressman named above a
few hundred mules before they would
have as many as he. Last year there
were 4S,956 mules in Indiana and near
.ly one-third of them belonged to the
First District and to the two counties
just north of it. The following shows
the number of mules represented by
Congressman HeminWay alone: Pike
county, 742; Gibson county, 1885,
Spencer county, 1 ,953; Warrick county,
2.509; Posey county, 2, 49S;; total, H.

north Of the National road which runs
through Richmond and Indianapolis
and yet these counties had credited to-
them last year but 1854 mules. This

The Chattanooga Rebel.

T. Editor Atlanta Constitution-Mr.
Bennett errs in stating that the en-
tire outfit Of the Chattanooga Rebel
was destroyed by Wilson's raiders in
March, 1865, at Selma, Ala. General
Wilson entered Selma on Sunday,Apr
2, 1865, and while he pretty badly
wrecked the Rebel on the morning of
his departure, April 10th, so far from
the destruction being entire, it was on
ly a few hours until the Rebel was on
the Streets, curtailed in: proportions,
but at defiant as ever. The building
in which were located the two local
papers were burned with their con-
tents, and the Mississippian succeeded,
the night before the town was cap
tured, in getting its entire plant trans
ferred to Meridian, Miss. The Rebel
was taken possession of by the fed
erals and during their. occupancy OF
the city they used it for whatever
printing they found necessary. On
the morning Of their departure for
Montgomery, however, detail armed
with sledgehammers entered the build
ing and proceeded to smash the
presses, doing perfect work on every
thing except the proof press, which
they left unframed, except for demol-
fishing the wooden frame. Then all the
type cases, stands, paper, in fact, ev-
erything that would burn, was dumped
from third story window to the street
below; then a bonfire was made in the
middle of the street, and that much of
the Rebel was entirely destroyed. How
ever, the same fortune which saved the
proof press got in it's good work by
causing the destroyers to overlook one
stand, two pairs of cases and a bundle
Of paper. AS soon as the federals had
left, Charley Faxon got all the print
er$ he could find together; he furnish
ed copy, the printers sailed into the
pied type on the sidewalk, and in a
few hours had out enough to get out a

his crooked limbs would permit, and
with a set, stern face and an angry
voice he dared answer Singing Water.
Big chief, you say Little Iniin no
good. Little Injin sick; Little Injin
crooked; Little Injin ugly; Little Injin
no fight; Little Injin no hunt; only
grind acorns and make fires for squaw..
Little Injin no more stay with YOU:
Little lnjin go far off; you see Little
lniin no naore!' # . I'll. Il. i.: u
He hobb1ed away from the presence
OF Singing Water, and that night he
/ left the camp, and through the long
hours until the dawn of another day
he limped along. the path that led to
nowhere nowhere in particular. By the light
OF the moon he crossed the creeks, and
the small streams, and the stars point
ed him a way over the hills and
through the valleys.
Finally Little Injin reached the sum
nit OF high mountain, and lay down
to rest his tired limbs. He was faint
and sore; and could not eat the ber-
ries that grew in abundance on the
mountain slope, he could not sleep. for
his eyes would constantly fill with
tears. He lay there for long time. a
sobbing in his throat, a patter Of tears
falling on his moccasins.
Then a good spirit came on the
mountain top, and touched him light
ly on the shoulder. 1t was like q
Woman's touch-like his mothers back
In the land Of Singing Water.
Little IEjin, what for you cry?''
said the good spirit; and the lad hid
his face in fright, and his sobs only
increased
Little Injin, no get scared" reas-
sured the good spirit. You no be
afraid Of good spirit, but say what for
you cry '@
Little Injin dried his tears and be-
tween his sobs he said: xs]
Great chief of my people. no like
Little Injin; he say me too little; he
say me too sick; he say me too crook
ed: he say me too ugly me no can
fight, me no can hunt, me no good. Me
go away.
But Little Injin must go back toshis
people, " said the good spirit; you
must speak to them and tell the chief
and his braves that you are going far
away to live in big valley, where you
will find pretty squaw. Then some
years more papoose will come, and he
will grow big and strong. Then he
will go back to your people and make
big chief and his braves all afraid Of
I him. You go now, Little Injin, back
to your people il the mountain.
Some days later Little Injin reached
y his old home, and following the direc-
( lions Of the good spirit he talked to
Singing Water and the braves, and he
told them what he proposed to do.
