Japanese Caution.

Among the characteristics of the Jap
anese an American at once notices their
love for children. 1t is doubtful if any
Japanese child ever got a whipping.
An American woman who became ac-
quainted with a Japanese matron noticed
that she allowed her little children to
ramble about the streets at will, and
one day commented upon it.
why" safe the japanese lady, what
harm can come, of it? Our children new
er quarrel and no grown person would
harm child"
But" said the American, ''the child
might get lost
That would make no trouble was
the smiling reply. And then she showed
how in little children's apparel there
were inserted cards containing their
name and address, and explaining that
should they stray any person finding
them will first give them full meal
and then bring them home.

At Reed. Bridge.

There are good many STORIES" said
the sergeant, that escaped those who
made official reports and those who de-
scribed engagements or battles. And
yet these incidents or episodes are nee
essary to give proper color to the his
tory of some of our most important
battles. For example, just before
Chickamauga, our brigade moved up to
Reeds bridge, expecting TO cross the
Chickamauga there, or, at Ieast. to pre-
vent the rebels from crossing. This.
was on the 18th of September, 1863, the,
day before the battle of Chickamauga
opened
Eve arrived within a mile OF the
bridge at dark, and our skirmfshers lit
orally ran into McNair's rebel brigade.

were riding in front, as mounted scouts,

the Union side Of the Chickamauga.
Shields, who. was in the lead. rode
squarely upon a rebel picket post, and
was as astounded as the rebels them
selves. He shouted Halt and one of
the Johnnies replied, Keep your d-n
mouth shut taking it for granted that
it was one of their own Men
Shields was called back into the
brush out Of sight and hearing OF the
enemy; then the little squad crept back
to the road and picked up. one after
another, twenty-five rebels. Among
the prisoners were several belonging to.
band, and they carried their inStru-
ments with them. From these men we
learned that Bragg had been largely re-
enforced from Mississippi, and that
Longstreet's corps was on the field, or
would be the next day. Here was a
case in which six men captured twenty
two and created no commOfion, but
gained information that was OF the ut
most Importance to Gen. Rosecrans.
I'm fact, this discovery precipitated
the battle of Chickamauga. Col. Nc
Cook rode over to Gen. Thomas head
quarters early the next morning and re-
ported that there was a rebel brigade
lost out there in the woods, and he
would like to be authorized to take 1t in
out of the wet. Thomas sent two bri-
gades to take this rebel brigade in out
of the wet, and these two brigades
struck the greater part of the rebel
army ready for battle. Other brigades
were sent, and others and others, and
the great fight on the left at Chicka-
manga was open. All that story has:
been told, but no mention was ever
made in official report of the six men
who rode straight into that rebel bri-
gade lost in the woods. Chicago Inter

Power of a Corporal.

During the war, on one occasion when
provisions were worth almost their
weight in gold, in Richmond, and Con-
federate money at its lowest ebb, it
was Mr.. Benefits custom to go to- the.
market early in the morning.
On his return at the time we speak
of, as he was vending his way home
with about $500 or $500 worth of pro-
visions in little basket, a soldier with
a gun and bayonet and in S'hattle ar
ray marched hurriedly up to him, and,
slapping him on the shoulder. said,

There was no help for it and Mr..
Bennett trudged along. At last, seeing,
lady of his acquaintance, he handed
her his basket, with instructions TO tell
his family that they would find him at
Castle Thunder. Just as they were
passing Broad Street Theater, another
soldier bearing upon his arms the
stripes of a corporal happened TO see
them, and coming to the guard he
said:
what are you doing? This is Mr.
Bennett-a State oficer-you can't take
him.
ooh" said the guard, "of course it's
all right If you say So" and walked
off, leaving his late prisoner at liberty.
Mr.. Bennett then turned to the COR

profound bow. 'Sir," said he, 'tyou

MINDED HOrzes,

Horses and mules are frequently af-
f1icted with broken wind, due, in the
majority of cases, to being worked on
a stomach filled with bulky food. If
the trouble is cared for early it may be
overcome. No coarse food should be
fed winded horses during the day, but
be given at night after the grain has
been eaten. Everything should be done
to keep the animal comfortable; the
stable should be we'll cleaned and ven
tilated and the bedding dry and abun-
dant. A lump of rock salt should be
kept in the manger at all times. Afte
the horse is brought in from work he
should be sponged all over with cold
water, in which a little aqua ammonia
has been placed. Then rub the animal
until dry. Do everything possible to
prevent the horse becoming overhead
ed, and If the bowels are constipated
mix tablespoonful of glauber salts in
the drinking water three times day,
increasing the amount if necessary to
cause the bowels to move freely. This
treatment will usually effect cure.

surprised to find in him a man of slim
figure, slightly stopped, five feet eight
inches in height, weighing only a hun
dred and thirty-fve pounds, and of a
modesty of mien and gentleness Of
for the court than the camp. His eyes
were dark-gray, and were the most ex-
presive Of his features. Like nearly
all men who speak little, he was d good
listener; but his face gave little indi-
cation of his thoughts, and it was the
about the only response to the speaker
who conversed with him. When he was
about to say anything amusing there
was always a perceptible twinkle in
his eyes before he began to speak, and
he often laughed heartily at a witty re-
mark or humorous incident.
His mouth, like Washington's, was Of
the letter-box shape, the contact of the
lips forming a nearly horizontal line.
This feature was of pattern in strik-
ing contrast with that of Napoleon,
who had bow mouth, which looked as
if it had been modelled after front
view Of his cooked hat. The firmness
with which the Generals square
shaped jaws were set when his fea-
lures were in repose was highly ex-
pressive Of his force of character and
the strength of his will-power. His hair
and beard were Of a chestnut-brown
color. The beard was worn full, no part
of the face being shaved, but, like the
hair, was always kept closely and neat
ly trimmed:~Like Cromwell, Lincoln
and several other great men in history,
he had wart on his cheek. In his case
it was small, and located on the right
side just above the line of the beard.
His face was not perfectly symmetri-
cal, the left eye being a very little low
or than the right. His brow was high,
broad and rather square, and was
creased with several horizontal Wrin-
kles, which helped to emphasize the
serious and somewhat careworn look
which was never absent from his coun-
tenance. This expression, however,
was in no wise an indication of his
nature, which was always buoyant,
cheerful and hopeful. His voice was
exceedingly musical, and one of the
clearest in sound and most distinct in
utterance that have ever heard 1t had
singular power of penetration, and
sentences spoken by him in an ordinary
tone in camp could be heard at dis
lance which was surprising.
His gait In walking might have been
called decidedly unmilitary. He never
carried his body erect, and having no
ear for music or rhythm, he never kept
step to the airs played by the bands, no
matter how vigorously the bass drums
emphasized the accent. When walk
ing in company there was no attempt
to keep step with others. In conversing
he usually employed only two gestures;
one was the stroking of his chin beard
with his left hand; the other was the
raising and lowering of his right hand,
and resting 1t at intervals upon his
knee or a table, the hand being held
with the fingers close together and the
knuckles bent, so that the back of the
hand and fingers formed right angle.

The NIaxahe Manager.

When stock is fed in the field, as it is
oftentimes convenient to do, num-
Der of movable managers will be found
very useful. A horse such as is used
by carpenters is constructed of light
wood and light board eight by twelve
inches wide nailed to the legs on each
side of the horse. This leaves suffi-
Gent space between the board and the
top bar of the horse for any animal to
get his head in and feed. There is no
need of having any bottom to this man
ger unless the feeding is done in some
place where it is wet. OF course, If
the feeding is done against fence or

IN personal appearance at this i'm
SS portant period of his career may
not be out of place here, particularly
as up to that time the public had re-
ceived such erroneous impressions of
him. There were then few correct por-
traits Of him in circulation. Some of
the earliest pictures purporting to be
photographs Of him had been manufac-
tured when he was at the distant front,
never stopping in one place long enough
to be focused" Nothing daunted, the

spread the pictures broadcast as repre-

bust, features of the coming hero, and
1t was some time before the real photo
graphs which followed were believed
to be genuine.
False impressions of him were de-
rived, too, from the fact that he had
come forth from a country leather
store, and was famous chiefly for strik
ing sledge-hammer blows in the field,
and conducting relentless pursuits of his
foes through the swamps of the South
west. He was pictured in the popular
mind as striding about in the most APP

In sections of the country where
wheat was formerly an important crop,
rye has largely taken its place. The
best method of growing rye is to seed
it with timothy in the fall, and follow
it with clover the next spring. This is
the plan used where rye is in the regu-
lar rotation after corn and oats. To
get the best results the seed should be
sown thinly on fairly good soil. The
time of sowing usually being early in
September, never later than the middle
of the month. If the soil is rich and in
good shape, one and one-half bushels
of seed per acre drilled in is sufficient.
On land that is poor, a bushel and three
pecks is usually used in seeding. Rye
straw brings good prices in the market,
and as the grain is less likely to be in
iured by insects than wheat, and can
be grown on soil too poor for wheat, it
can be used to advantage in feeding
for certain stock. It is not particularly
good for cows, as it seemingly Injuries
the quality of the butter. 1t is excellent
food for swine, and to a moderate eX-
tent for poultry. While it has no par
ticular value as legume, rye is valu-
able to turn under for green manuring.
