But when the warmth of spring comes
these little creatures throw off
their winter clothing aud appear

priately called TON Thumb He

is made necessary because the sue.

No Corkscrew Needed.

The talk turned to the opening of
bottles without the aid of a corkscrew
and the freshest man in the party
called for TWO penknivcs and bottle
with cork tight 10. Everybody else
pushed back from the table and gave
him plenty of room. He opened the
biggest blades Of the Two knives and
then inserted one between the glass of
the bottle and the cork. He pushed
it down as far as he could. Then he
took the other knife and showed it
down the same way on the opposite
side Of the bottle. Selling the hand
les OF the knives he pressed them to-
gether and pulled upward. Up came
the cork with them.
That neat trick, said the Ken
lucky colonel, ''but what are you 60
ing to do if you don t have Two knives?
Here, now, I'll show you how to open
a bottle without any paraphernalia.
You know we occasionally get caught
out in Kentucky with nothing On US
but our guns. Give me bottle"
The waiter brought fresh bottle.
The colonel took his handkerchief out,
wadded up, and then seized the bottle
firmly by the neck. He put the hand
kerchief against the wall and poising
the bottle drove it bottom first against
the wadded handkerchief. Everybody
lodged and protested that he'd smash
the bottle. The colonel did not heed
the protests, but again drove the bottle
bottom first against the wall. There
was little snap that sounded like the
cracking Of the glass and that brought
out more protests. The colonel grin
ned and offered to bet the drinks that
he'd pull the cork without breaking
the bottle. The bet was taken. The
colonel drove the bottle solidly back
again and then o fourth and fifth time.
At the fifth drive the cork few across
/ the room. The colonel opened the
bottle quickly.
"Didn't lose teaspoonful," said
he.
Drinks are on me" said the man
who had taken the bet, "but I don {
see how it was DONE"
"You must have seen how il was
done" said the colonel. IF there is
an inch Of air space in the bottle be-
tween the bottom Of the cork aud the
liquor the cork is bound to come every
time. The air drives it out and there
isn't any danger of breaking the bottle
either"
All that party are around this town
now winning drinks on the colonel's
idea. Ii you meet fellow who wants
to bet be eau pull the cork from u
bottle without using corkscrew, knife
or teeth, don't take him up, for he'll
win your money.-Ne,o York Sun.

Bottom residence, we come to the "a
nous spring, into which many SOL
dier pitched headlong during the bat
tie.
1t might be said with some degree
of truth that this spring was the i'm
mediate cause Of the battle. The
weather was hot and dry. A drouth
hads been on for weeks, and there
was very little water in the
country for man or beast, and at times
the marching soldiers were nearly
famished. This spring vas running a
fine stream, and both armies halted
near it. All day long on that portion
of the field the opposing soldiers
fought for possession Of the water,
until the stream literally ran red with
blood. Men who were there and in
the battle say that the famished SOL
diers would come up, and, knowing
that hundred muskets were aimed at
them, would go up to drink out of the
pool in which the bodies Of their com
rades lay bleeding, and as they stoop.
ed ct the waters edge would be shot
in dozen places.
One thing which attracts the attcn.
tion Of the visitor to the old field is
the abandoned condition Of the burial
place Of the unknown dead. After
the battle several hundreds OF uniden-
tilted Federal and Confederate soldiers
we're buried on the field. The bodies
were laid side by side in trenches, and
Squire Bottom kept record, which
afterward enabled relatives and friends
Of some Of the dead men to recover
their bodies. The bodies were num-
bered as they were put into the trench
es, and in the record book containing
the number were such personal and
other descriptions as could be kept.
For weeks after the battle, mothers,
wives and sweethearts visited the field
in search of their missing dead. and
Squire Bottoms little book led to a
number Of happy recoveries. At
present, the burial places are over
grown with briars and weeds, with
nothing to mark the spot where the
brave men lie. It looks as if the men
who followed NlcCook and Jackson
and other gallant leaders into the very
jaws Of death, even though their names
be lost, should have some of the gen.
erous recognition which those who fell
on other fields have received.

Boys and Firearms.

We read in the papers every few
days OF the accidental killing Of some
little one by brother or sister, who
thought gun or pistol was not loaded
or would not explode.
A smalloboy has no business with
anything that has gunpowder about it,
larger or more dangerous than the
small Christmas frecracker. We say
this without wishing at all to keep
the children from harmless amuse-
ment, but to prevent danger and ac-
tual loss Of life. We have advanced
in many respects from the attitude TO-
ward children which characterized ou,
foreparents. Theirs, like ours, was
based in deep love fer the little one;
but sometimes we think they were per.
haps little too strict where q mere
bubbling over of the spirits was con-
cerned. Children need recreation. All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy; but. they can find enough to
amuse themselves without risking life
or limb.
The love Of carrying firearms grows
like other evils, and the child whose
disposition is to want dangerous wea-
pons is humored is in the road TO car.
rying concealed weapons and breaking
the laws Of his country. Restrained
in youth, the boys would be taught
the evil Of carrying concealed weapons,
which has been responsible for so
much harm, and which has been legis-
lated against without much seeming
success.
1t is, we believe, provided by the
Constitution that the citizens of the
country are allowed guns, so as to be
expert in handling them should wa,
OF other danger threaten the gov.
ernment. But this provision does
not extend to the boys, and very wise

this point, and keep them within
the pale Of strictly innocent amuse.

Famous Harlem Cat.

New YORK, April 25.-Tom, the
most wonderful cat in Greater New
York, and last but ,one Of famous
trio of pets which originally included
Dick, canary bird, and Jim, crow,
died last night in an undertaking es-
tablishment near Holy Trinity church,
122d street and Lenox' avenue, says
The World. Tom was 20 years old
and weighed nearly Is pounds. Jim,
the crow, is now the sole survivor.
Tom was born in Covington, Ky,
and was brought to this city 13 years
ago by Robert H. Howison, sexton Of
Holy Trinity. He was beautifully
marked maltese and was petted by all
the members of che church, to whom
he became we'll known.
He never wandered far from the
church or the reotory. His intelli-
gence approached the unoanny. He
seemed to comprehend the impropriety
Of appearing during service, and not
until the congregation was dismissed
did he come forth to be recognized by
friends.
The Rev. DR.. Brigham was the late
pastor Of Holy Trinity. With him
Tom made fast friends, and for sew
eral hours each day he regularly visit
ed the pastors study and was content
to remain until Dr.. Brigham finished
his work and bestowed the accustomed
tokens of recognition. Since the
death of DR.. Brigham, a year ago,
Tom has not been the same He took
up quarters in the undertaking estab-
lishment near by, and quickly made
friends with Jim, the crow, and Dick,
the canary.
A familiar sight in the window of
the establishment was Tom with Jim,
the crow, perched sagely on his back
and the canary reposing, apparently
content, in the cats mouth. He
would hold the canary with the great
est tenderness. Thus the trio would
repose for hours with apparent enjoy
ment.
