officers are not above wearing mail

fectly oblivious of their comrades. who
although they may scott in times Of

Washington and Braddock'S defeat by
Burton Egbert Stevenson. Houghton.
Miff1in & Co., Boston and New York
A young colonel of militia who was at
that time a close friend of George Wash
ingtcn, is the hero of the story "A Sol
der of Virginia"
The hero of the story, "a Soldier of
Virginia. is an intimate friend of George
Washington, who was then but young
colonel of militia. 1t was in the begin
ming of Washington's great career, and
the pen picture Of the man is a splendid
portraiture and pleasing feature of the
book. A second interesting feature Is
the description of social life in Virginia
in the middle of the eighteenth century
and after. 1t is graphic picture in
miniature of the homes and home.life Of
pariarchal Virginia, when the people
were drawn closely together for mutual
protection and defense, and when family
ties and blood drew them into COM
mon brotherhood. There were constant
border alarms from the French and In
dams, which kept the military spirit
quickened The leading feature, as far
as battle is pictured, is vivid recital of
the story OF Braddock's disastrous defeat.
which the author says was both defeat
and dishonor." Describing it he says:
Scarce had the first tap of the drum
echoed among the trees when a mob of
regulars became a mere frenzied rabble.
The officer tried to draw them from the
field in some semblance or order, but the
men, seized with wild, unreasoning ter
ror, were beyond all control. They rush

ed from the field, sweeping officers be-
fore them, and carrying with them the
provincial troops. / was caught in one
edge Of the mob, and as / tried to re-
strain the men about me, I was flung
aside against a tree with such force that
I was daZed by the blow. Presently 1
saw that I was beneath the tree where
Braddock and Washington sat their
horses, watching with grim faces the
frenzied crowd as it swept past. The
soldiers threw away their guns and KNAPP
sacks and fell over each other like sheep
pursued by dogs" Just then a bullet
struck Rraddock and he fell. He pleaded
with his friends to leave him, as he had
but few minutes to live, and the In
dams would finish him. Just then tum-
bril- drawn by two horses dashed by. Ono
wheel caught upon a tree, and before it
could be released, our hero caught the
near horse. Braddock was placed upon
the tumbril, and he and Washington
dashed along the line of retreat, pursued
by the Indians. When they reached the
river bank they found the provincial
troops standing cool and self-possessed,
as the regulars fed past BraddocS
aroused and gave the order to make a
stand there. But one cannot dwell upon
tho stirring events so graphically sketch
ed A tender love story, charmingly told
winds like golden thread through the
chapters. The map showing the camps
of Braddock and his route are a valuable
key to the text. It shows the position
of Logstown, Venango and Fort Le
Boeuf, places identified in the story, and
also shows the route of WASHINGTON 8

book.

sPRoUT THROUGH ICE.
Rye Grains show Life Even in Con-
geaIed Water.

Regarding the vitality Of vegetation
under ice, correspondent writes to
MeehanS Monthly that he has had the
nll1ng OF an ice house which is built half
in the ground and for the packing of
winch rye straw is used. He says: ''As
ice Is taken out for use the straw is NOV
ed about, and, while packing the ice.
grains Of rye fail from the straw and
down into the crevices between and I'M
der the solid blocks of ice. These grains
Of rye sprout and grow upward into the
solid cakes of ice. I have found these
young spears of rye 20 grow as long as
three and four inches. The part that is

placed on record the fact that under the

son, William E. Meehan, one of the Peary
relief expedition, has recorded the same
fact in regard to some species of willow

: In 1885 Gen. James Harrison Wilson, in
company with several American friends,

capital. The little party made extensive
journeys on horseback and by water, into
