Brave Benson Brothers.

Among those attending the Nation
al Educational Convention is Mr..
Blackman Benson, who represents an
Atlanta publishing company. Mr..
Benson was young as the youngest
who donned the gray" He entered
service in January, 1861, in Maxcy
Gregg's lst regiment, South Carolina
Volunteers, and was with that COM
mand at the fight in Virginia wi
enna.) AT the reorganization Of the
regiment he became member of Capt.
William 7. Haskells company, with
which he heroically served until a
battalion Of sharpshooters was formed
from -'cked men Of MCGOWAN bri-
gade. With this splendid body of
veterans he did duty until the sad
surrender at Appomattox. The first
commander Of the sharpshooters was
the knightly Capt. William T. Has
kell, who heroically fell in the front
of battle at Gettysburg. He was sue !.
ceeded by Major w. S. Dunlap, an in
tuitive soldier, and one of the bravest,
best nen in the army. The daring
and brilliant deeds of the sharpshooters
shine starlike in the annals of Lee 8
grand legion. Sergt Benson was not
ed for conspicuous courage, fidelity
and daring, and was beloved by his
comrades as much for his generous
nature and modesty as for sterling
manhood. His brother, Berry Ben.
son, also belonged to the battalion of
sharpshooters. His splendid services
have been appropriately recognized by
the patriotic people of Augusta. They
selected Berry Benson figure for the
"Man on the monument" that at.
tracts the admiration Of every visitor
to the Fountain City. There are those
in Charleston, alas! but few, who
tenderly recall many stirring incidents
in the military career Of Berry Ben
son. He was famous scout and,
strange as it may sound, seemed to be
perfectly at home when within the
enemy's lines. He seemed to bear q
charmed life. 1t was by no means
unusual for him to retu. to camp ac
compained by an involuntary guest in
the person Of Federal soldier. In
one of his scouting expeditions near
Spottsville G. H., he became fatigued
and stopped at the shelter tent Of a
Federal colonel, unhitched his splen-
did charger and rode him to Major
Dunlap headquarters. Lieut.. N. In
graham Hassell, of this city, fearless
~ commanded the company of sharp
shooters in which the Benson broth
ers served. Major Dunlap has writ
ten history of the battalion and it
is well worth reading. .-Nc,ys and Con-

Shifting the Blame.

A woman employed at Yorkshire
factory took her 5-year-old boy to the
hospital and asked the surgeon to look
at his hand. BY some freak of nature
his finger and thumb had interlocked,
causing him great pain at times.
"Why didn't you come here earlier.
my good woman?'' asked the surgeon
In tone OF sharp reprtmRnd.s 'aThe
little chap has evidently been suffering
from this extraordinary defect since
the day OF his birth. If you had
brought him soon after he was born. I
might have done something FOR him,
but I very much fear I cannot now"
The woman. aware that abe was
sadly to blame. but loath to take the
full responsibility, Immediately turned
upon her unfortunate offspring.
"Dost ta hear whnt the gentleman
says. Tommy" she cried. 'aTha ought

-Four Hundred Pounds of GOLD,

"The monthly clean up Of our mine,"
said gentleman connected with mines
on tho Quesnelle river, British Colum-
bia, SIS about 400 pounds Of gold,
which is made into one brick and car
rlcd out by stage to Ashcroft, on the
Canadian Pacific, 235 miles away. It
may not occur to you what that little
brick Of gold-for 400 pounds of gold
isn't as big as bale Of hay-represents
in bulk Of material handled to obtain
1t, but 1t means lot. For instance,
the pay streak in the mine runs 25
cents to the cubic yard, which means
that 100000 cubic yards of gravel, 400
pounds Of our gold being worth about
100000, must be washed out by our
big hydraulics to get 1t. AS the pay
streak is about one-third of the whole
quantity to be blasted and washed, 1t
would give the enormous mass Of
100000 cubic yards of earth and rock
to be handled. This bulk weighs near
ly 100000 tons, and all this for bit
Of yellow metal that could be covered
by peck measure. If we had to carry
1t away in the same kind Of six horse
stages that we send the gold out in, it
would take 100000 Of them, with as
many men, to drive them and 10000
horses to>haul them" New York Sun

Fought t4e Telegraph polea.

oHtsb VIC AcAGEkApn ROke1.
To creatures incapable OF understand
ing their use the first telegraph poles
were naturally misleading. When
these useful articles were introduced
into Norway, they had disquieting
effect on the bears.
The bears heard the moaning of the
wind In the wires and proceeded to put
two and two together. Such buzzing
Us this had been heard before. 1t was
associated In the minds Of the bears
with sweet morscl. The poles must
DC gigantic hives. So the bears set to
work to root the poles out of the
ground.
The woodpeckers also .-r' cl,ed to the
Eumming aud concluded thu nnumcr.
able insects were conceale In those
tall poles. Therefore they a. went to
work to find the treasure, ring holes
to extract the insects.
In time birds and animals became
wiser, and the telegraph pole cud wire
are used by more than one bird IS safe
places for their nests. There is small
bird In Natal which used to build its
cradle shaped nest in the branches of
trees, but as soon as the telegraph
wires were get up it changed the loca-
ton Of Its housekeeping and built on
the wires, go that snakes could not mo-
lest its treasures.
The new position was found 80 &C.
cure that the bird added a second door
to the nest, which had hitherto pos
sessed only small opening on the side
farthest from the overhanging branch.

Only a Fishing Worm.

The boy who goes fishing with a
pail of worms for bait, little knows
what pleasant hour he might have,
and yet make his outing much more
agreeable for the worms and for the
fish. He should take q look-a scien-
tiic peep at the contents Of the pail,
instead of throwing them ignorantly
away. After all his pains in digging
for the worms he and they are scarce
ly acquaintances yet, if We should ask
him he must admit that he has dug up
yorma in the springtime, year after
year, and gone fishing, knowing as little
about the wo-r, when his sport was
over as he did when he started out.
To see really what sort of fello y
the common earthworm is, first put
him into a bowl Of water. He will
soon wrigg!e himself free of every
particle Of dirt, and you may then
make him more comfortable on some
dry, smooth surface when you study
the peculiar movements Of his remark
able body, which consists Of series
of segments, or rings, all alike in
form, except at the two ends; the an
terror end .tapering to blunt point;
the hinder cad. being broad and fat
tened.
Watch the worm shorten himself
after long stretch. Projecting from
the sides and the lower part of each
ring, you will see the tiny bristles,
called setae, with which he manages
to walk. When he lengthens his body
the setae on the hinder -;nss prevent
him from stretching backwards, be-
cause they in pointing backwards,
stick into the ground. The worm can,
therefore, stretch only forward. In
the Same manner when he shortens
his body, the setae in the front rings
sticks into the ground, and the hinder
part Of che body is drawn up; he re-
peats this process every time he moves
along.
That way Of walking may seem very
complicated and wonderful, but it is
no more wonderful than that you
should be able to balance your body on
your two feet and walk without giving
a thought to how you do it, or how
wonderful it is that it can be done
without. thought. Watch a baby's
efforts to keep his balance while learn
ing to toddle only few steps, and
you will understand that walking
seems easy to you because you have
had much practice.
The usefulness Of the worms may
be seen at once when you compare
sc1a6 os the things that they do with
those that they are unjustly accused
Of doing. They 40 Lot destroy the
roots Of trees and plants. They cat
half-decayed leaves, which they are
able to grind with the muscles Of the
mouth; but they have no teeth with
which 30 gahw. They are usefnl to
man in boring through the ground and
l0osening the soil to make it ready.for
the fibers Of plants to enter. Surface
soil is more or less loose, but the sub.
soil IL hard and compact until the
errthworms have worked it. Our
tallest trees, even, wonld soon die If
no opening were made by the worms
for their root fbers to enter.
To keep worm-life in check, nature
has provided the birds, aud any one
that has watched the robin dine will
see that there is no danger of the
earthworm supply exceeding the de-
mand. Our Aninsal Friends:
