AT THE COURTS OF EUROPE.

But after all it may be that the most
effective service to the American cause
was rendered not at home, but abroad.
we Know that the aid of France was a
powerful, If not Indispensable factor in
the outcome OF the war and that the
sympathy of other continental powers was
advantageous. But why should these eff
fete monarchies look with favor upon the
struggling republic? There seems to have
been some mysterious influence which
changed their once hostile attitude into
one of friendship; and recent investigation
mas led to the belief that this influence
was the Masonic order

Paris to plead the American cause at the

Our EeXt stopping place was small
town, u.-re we remained an hour and a
half and enjoyed the novel sport of watch
ing the ridiculous antics of several negro
slaves, who, with others, numbering about
20 men, looking on with grins of satIsfac-
ton, gave US the first opportunity to study
them closely. We offered them bits of to-
bacco to sing. Five or six sang in their
own peculiar way the Star Spangied
Banner" Happy Land of Canaan, and
comical plantation songs. We threw bits
of tobacco among them, causing pre-
miscuous scramble, pushing each other
head over heels to secure the prize, all IN
perfect good humor.
They appeared contented and happy.
Our supplies of provisions from Gov
ington being exhausted, we were tempted
to buy pics and cakes from the children
who gathered around the car doors with
such articles to sell.
A number of our boys volunteered to
sample the articles, and as they were not
at once seized with commissions, we paid
no more heed to the warnings Of our Gov
ington friends, that these people would
poison us. We expect the men to give US
a fair fight. but we are not afraid OF
their women and children. We reached
Lexington in the afternoon and dIsem-
barked.
There we were supplied with new
Springfield rifed muskets, caliber 69, car
rying an ounce conical ball.
When each man had received his mus
ket, and we had formed our line with arms
at carry" we felt that we were sol
diers at last. At the word of command
we moved into column by fours, and with
all our equipments on, marched proudly
through the city on our way to camp, one
mile distant.

KEPT WARM WITH ICE.
able Goods from Freezing
in Transit.

To keep from freezing by the use
of ice seems novel way of turning
ordinary usage upside down. A daily
paper is responsible for the state
ment that the weather bureau at
Washington is about to issue a bulle-
tin describing a new and peculiar
method of heating. 1t consists in
keeping out cold, not by the use of
fire, but by the intervention of ice.
Its object is the protection of per-
ishable goods in transit.
The car is double lined and has at
each end four galvanized iron cylin-
ders reaching from the floor almost
to the top. In summer these cylin-
ders are filled with ice and salt in
order to keep the car cool. The re-
markable point, however, is that in
winter they are filled with ice in or
der to keep the contents of the car
from freezing.
Ice is nominally at a temperature
of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is a
substance that changes its tempera-
ture reluctantly, and is a bad con-
ductor of heat-or cold. Consequent
ly when zero weather prevails with
out the cylinders of relatively warm
ice prevent the escape of heat; in
other words, they maintain the tenn
perature within the car.
Another novel device by which ice
is employed for protection against
cold consists in throwing upon the
car when the weather is near the
zero point plentiful stream of water,
which freezes at once and forms a
complete coat over the vehicle. The
action of the ice is the same as in the
other case.
A similar plan is frequently adopt
ed in the transportation of bananas,
fruit which is particularly suscepti-
BILE to cold. The fruit is put in paper
bags inside of heavy canvas bags and
covered with salt hay when the tenn
perature is dangerously low.

REFORMED BY SURGERY.
California Man who Was sinEuIariy
Affected by n Blow and
Operation.

Frank Ludwig Rickenberg, who by
a blow from the butt of rifle near
the base of the skull was made a
burglar, and who was operated upon
by corps of physicians at the Ala
media county infrmary, will recover
and will be an honest man again, says
an Oakland (Cal.) special to the New
York World.
He says himself he will be a moral
man again, and DR.. Clark, chief sur
geon at the hospital, is inclined to
take the same view. For the first
time since he was hurt, nine years
ago, Rickenberg was able to give the
story of his life to-day.
"My first experience as soldier
was in an Indian war on the Pine
Ridge reservation in 1891. | was in
the Seventh cavalry and was in every
little skirmsh. 1t was while there,
in a hand-to-hand encounter with a
savage, that / sustained the fracture
of the skull. l remember struggling
with one Indian for the possession OF
gun, when another came up from
behind and with rifle butt dealt me
blow that laid me out. For nine
months l was paralyzed, and was
then discharged from the service.
81 have no recollection of what
happened after ] was struck, but my
papers tell me that in April, 1898, !
reenlisted at Leavenworth, Kan, and
was made a quartermaster's sergeant,
and was afterward made a sergeant
by act of congress. In May, 1898, |
went to Cuba, and was in the battles
of San Juan and El Cancy.
when / came back to California
they tell me l committed burglary,
but l knew absolutely nothing about
it until the surgeon here operated
on me-"
1--WE read of such cases." said DR..
Frank Sture, "but seldom is one
brought to surgeons personal no.
tice. Here we have a man with a
splendid military record, who, after
years of suffering with fracture of
the skull suddenly becomes vicious
common thief and comes near going
to the pententiary, Now he is on
the road to recovery and complete
reformation"

MARRIAGE CEREMONY
Performed in Bed, First Aitemp Was
Failure.

Scranton, Pa.-"Brynon's wedding
was postponed once, because he was i'll
with the grip, and l didn't propose to
let the same disease put it off second
time" said Alderman Millar today.
Millar, who is also Inspector of the
Third Brigade, N. G. p, married Alex
ander Brynon and Elizabeth Hoskihs
while he was propped up in bed.
II could perform the marriage cere-
mony in bed Just as we'll as in my Of
fice," he continued "Then, l believe
it is the duty of q public official to at :
tend to the public business under all
conditions, and don't believe in post
poning marriages"
Mrs. Brynon, the happy bride,
claims that Millar, with the exception
of her husband. is the best man in all
the world. She said: "Our marriage
was to have taken place week earlier,
when Alderman Millar married nv
husbands brother. 1t was to have
been double wedding. Alexander
had the grip, and was too i'll to leave
the house. 90 we had to postpone our
part of the ceremony. When AleNan-
der became we'll and we went to be
married, behold you, the Alderman had
the grip. Such another time never
did see. But, said he: I'll marry you,
anyhow. And he did. all wrapped up
in quilts and Dropped up by a pillow.
1t was one of the funniest things l ever
saw. We're married al: fast, however,
as if the wedding had occurred in Mr..
Mlllars office or in church."

Crafty Fox.

Valley Forge.-A party of a dozen
fox hunters from King of Prussia, New
Centersville, Valley Forge, Port Ken
nedy and Diamond Rock, with about
forty hounds from the different packs,
had most remarkable fox hunt.
When the fox reached the Stephens
farm, near New Centerville, it took to
the woods. When the hounds came I'm
to within few feet of the fox it dis
appeared as if swallowed I'D by the
earth The hunters came to a stand
s,lll and the hounds refused to go far
ther and they ran about the trunk of
tree which had fallen and lodged nj
an angle of some thirty or forty-five
degrees. The hunters noticed a big
crows nest some forty feet from the
ground. The hunters hitched their
horses and began to pelt the old crows
nest, and when one of the stones STRUCK
the nest they saw pair of pointed ears
over the edge of the nest, which they
knew belonged to the fox.
The hunters now began to charge the
nest with stones, and in a few minutes
the fox gave spring and dropped am
ong the hounds, and, gathering itsel
together 1t broke through the under
brush and escaped. The hounds sool
took up the trail, and in fifteen min
utes the fox was safe among the rock
in the woods.

An Ice Boats Speed.

To those who have never seen an ice
boat dart away and shrink to a mere
speck on the horizon in a few minutes,
the speed, were it not we'll vouched for,
would be wholly incredible. A gentle
man residing at Poughkeepsie wished
to speak to his brother. who had just
started by train for New YORK. He
therefore sprang into his ice-boat
soon passed the train, although it was
an express, and was on the platform of
the station at Newburg when the train
drew up. At one point of his journey
he had made two miles in one minute
Nevertheless, in spite of the various
published records, it may be confident
ly be stated that the greatest speed is
never recorded.

Fierce Encounter.
G. Fl. NIXON,
Probate Judge.

Plainfield, N. J.-William M Long,
an old and experienced traDper and
hunter in this section. lately had a
thrilling experience with a monster
black eagle. Long was chopping wood
on the farm, when suddenly he saw the
eagle rise from the ground a short
distance away. and circle around his
head several times.
Anticipating an opportunity for a
shot, Long had taken his rife along
and stood it against pile of wood
near by. He ran for his gun, and in
moment had taken aim and fired at
the big bird. He shattered one of the
bones in one of the eagles wings. and
the bird flutteTed to the ground, a short
distance away. Not apprehending SER
ious trouble then, Long started for the
injured eagle, and as soon as he got
within ten feet the bind flew at him in
a rage, attacking him with it's beak and
claws. For the moment Long was dis
comfited by the vicious onslaught. and
when he recovered his presence of
mind he found that he was NO match
for the sharp claws of the prey.
The lower part of his trousers were
torn in shreds, and his hands were bad
ly cut. Disentangling himself from the
eagle, he picked up his shotgun, which
he had dropped at the first attack. and
with a swinging blow on the head,
Knocked the life out of his antagonist.

A LUCKY TRAIN BOY.
He Is the Only One In Alaska and Has
n Chance TO Become II MIL
IiOnnire.

There is only one railroad to Alaska,
the White Pass and Yukon railroad,
and on that railroad there is a train
called the Klondike limited. Isn't the
sound of that name enough to conjure
up visions of red-shirted miners bear
ing huge stacks of gold; picturesque,
big bearded men coming home after
amassing fortunes, which they are
eager to spend? On this train there
is train-boy, the only one in Alaska,
and he is favored mortal. Like his
brethren elsewhere, he deals in cigars,
peanuts, fruit, candy, books, maga-
zines and papers, and he also sells
shirts and collars and bright red neck
ties. Being an autocrat as well as a
monopolist, the prices this train-b boy
charges for his wares are so high that
he will soon be ranked with the mil
lionaires, unless he has competition
pretty soon. Fifty cents each for ci-
gars that cost him two cents each, and
$40 for "boiled" shirt, will give an
idea of his profits. Nearly all the
miners have recently been poor men,
and they have very little idea of the
true value of money, therefore they
indulge in the most reckless expendi.
lures. That is the reason why some ot
them have TO go back TO the mines after
few months of dissipation, and re
sumo their hard work. Meanwhile this
lucky train-boy is actually making {
fortune out of their ignorance and gen
erosity combined.
