CHRISTENING IN WAR DAYS.

Just after the battle of Perryville. in October, 1862, Dr Savage, a strong Union man, was at one of his appoint rnents to baptize some children, says the Walker county, Ga, Messenger. There was a large crowd, and sturdy southern matron brought her four children to the altar.
 Name this child,' said the Union preacher, laying his hands on the boys head.
 simon Bolivar Buckner," was the reply, which caused smile to come over the congregation, but the brave preacher went on with his duty.
 Name this child,' taking the next in order.
 Pierre Gustave Toutant Beaure- gard" and the smile grew into q snicker, while Dr Savage grew red In the face. He baptized the young namesake of the great engineer-sol- dler and went on with the ceremony.
 Name this one,' he gasped, reach ing for the third.
 Albert sydney Johnson,p came the answer.
 The smile became audible and the preacher apoplectic. Heaving Il sigh Of relief, he took. the fourth child, q little girl, whose gender he fondly SUD- posed would preclude continuation of heroic reproduction, and said:
 Name this child,
 Mary Stonewall Jackson Lee" came the response that set the con- gregation in roar, while the Union parson thought he had held in his arms the southern confederacy.

TIRED WATCHES.

sThis is a very fine time-pfece and there is nothing on earth the matIer with it except that 1t is sulky, sald an old watch maker on Royal street, who has followed his craft here and abroad for the last half century. The watch to which he referred lay on bis bench. It was an old-fashioned Swiss choronometer, in massive gold case, worn as smooth as glass, and the oWn- CT declared 1t had not run steadily for several weeks. Nothing seemed to be broken; 1t had simply stopped and refused to go, except by its and starts.
 1t is all right the old watch mak- CT went on; nothing about 1t is out of order, and it is fairly clean. The only trouble is that 1t Is sulky and may be tired. Fine old handmade watches get that way now and then, and the best thing to do is to lay them aside and give them q rest. Suppose we do that now, and will lend you some thing to wear ill the meanwhile. Watches like this have lots of human traits,' he continued, after it's owner had secured a substitute and departed, "and very few people realize that they really get fatigued. I have often had them come to me in the condition of this one. The mechanism seems to be in perfect condition, but it won't run. The fact is, that long service has thrown it slightly out of adjustment i'll perhaps twenty different places. l dare say could go over it with my tools and forcibly set it to rights, but the less the works of very high grade watch are scraped and handled and taken apart the better for them. A far more sensible plan is the one shall pursue in the present case-to lay it away in q drawer and let it rest un- disturbed for one, two, possibly three months; the longer the better. Tn that time the delicate wheels md cogs and pinions will slowly readjust them selves-settle back into their right places, as we'll as I can explain it, and when I take the watch out again all that is necessary is to give it a tap or two and microscopic drop of oil and 1t starts off as briskly and cheerfully as ever.
 "You will understand of course that the only watches subject to this sort of thing are those that have been careful ly and patiently made by hand--each part wrought out with special refer I'ence to the rest and fitting no other set of works in the world. Some of the hu- man quality of the maker goes into such q time piece. The modern, ma chine-made watch doesn't get tired. When 1t stops, something Is busted 2 New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

SENSATIONS OF A SEVERED ARM.

Surgeons in Binghamton, N. Y, are puzzled over the remarkable case of A. B. Knapp, which would seme to prove that q mans arm can convey sensation to the brain, even after it has been amputated.
 Knapp, prominent resident of that village, was injured on the railroad. 2
 After the amputation he recovered rapidly from the shock, until sudden ly he complained that the arm was cold.
 It grew worse, and, though the sur geons and his friends laughed, Knapp insisted that his arm was freezing and aching with the cold.
 The severed arm was taken from m adjoining room and placed under q stove without his knowledge, but he at once expressed relief, saying the arm was getting warm.
 Later he again complained that something tied about the wrist was making the arm ache.
 It was found that bandage had been tied tightly just below the hand. This was loosened without Knapp's knowledge and again he felt the rer moval of the pressure.--Boston Pilot.

WHY THE DRUGGIST SMILES.

One of the cartoonist's favorite themes has been knocked into q cooked hat. The pen that has been wont to picture the youth apothecary driven to distraction by the constant stream of people who make bee line for the directory, among. the victims in the padded cell will do so no more. All is joy in the drug shop, and an- other mighty shout has gone up in heartfelt appreciation of the progress of the age.
 Hereafter, when stranded on some distant thoroughfare, far from home and mother, with maze of car tracks before you, and an indefinite idea as to where you are at, when only green light gleams out on the pathway and you realize how like mid-desert these modern cities are, make up your mind that our only salvation is the des- pissed copper. Man truly has sought out many inventions, as the good book says. Try the last resort to learn your bearings, and find out how sometimes they may cause you to dis pose of some eunmentlonables.
 The pith of the matter is this: Some one, may be a suffering druggist him. self, has hit upon ascheme to draw the necessity from the pockets of the unsuspecting, All the local pharma- cists are banishing their finger worn loose-paged and ancient directories. in their stead they are placing in conspicuous places brand new ones, strictly up.to-date, 190I's. But there is method in their madness. You ap- proach the man behind the counter with a sweet smile and say:
 Pardon me, but may look at your directory!'
 You smile at him again, more sweetly. You wait in vain for the gruff "Yes,'' or the harsh "Go ahead.' You marvel as the mans face lights up with joy. as he points ont its loca- ton with grace and evident pleasure. Then you walk over to the table on which it lies and your eyes pop out as you notice, instead of the dilapi- dated specimen, a new volume; and, strangest of all, it is encased in q beautiful oak frame! Yon reach for ward to find the KS or Bis or the WIS. or perhaps the street register. You tug at it, but it does not yield. You yank harder, but it acts as if unseen hands held it tight. Looking about, your eyes fall upon q brass plate with slit in it. These words appear:
 Drop your penny here. Hold the book open while it is in use or it will close up. Persons caught putting other than good American coin into this machine will be prosecuted to tile full extent of the law.
 It is plainly q case of rummaging about for q cent. If you have just your car fare, your hope is In vain. If you are fortunate, and see the nrecious volume unfold itself and then try to adjust your glasses OF reach for your handkerchief, all Is lost-unless, perhaps, you have another. Brooklyn Times.

HEARD IN PASSING

1t was the custom of Mrs Marietta Doe Hay, who died a few days ago i'll Tarrytown, N. Y., to keep her jewels and large sums of money in small satchel, which she used tdslIang on the limb of a tree outside her window at night. She feared q visit from burg lars, and wanted to be able to truth fully say that she had no money in the house. Frequently the satchel con tained thousands of dollars. Hartford Post.
 The Hon A. B. Mygatt. who will be buried by his friends at New Milford to-day, occupied for long time prominent place in our public affairs. He had large acquaintance and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. He was an active and influ- ential politician and an efficient public official. Of recent years he had been enfeebled by age and had ceased to be figure of prominence, but he had done his work and had earned his place among his fellow citizens.-- Hartford Courant.
 The details of the frauds at Manila made public to-day will surprise no- body. They have been carefully with held until after the capture of Aguin- aldo. The anti-imperialists and Little Americans have frequently called at- tention to the indications that fraud peryaded the governmental methods introduced under the regulations insti- tuted by General Otis. But every true patriot has pooh-poohed the charges. We shall have some reyela- ton of this sort about once n month as long as we attempt to govern the Phil ippines from Washington.--Hart Times

MT Mckinley has had an over sup ply of white elephants on his hands for some time. Consequently. he IS not disposed to feel extra thankful to General Fred Funston for adding two more. by capturing Aguinaido. The Funston white elephant had to be pro- yided for at once in order to avoid trouble in the political menagerie. There being nothing in sight lower than brigadier-generars commission in the regular army, the members of the Kansas congressional delegation who happened to be in Washington made a break for the White House and demanded that for Funston. MT Mckinley jollied them up and sent them away without making any prom ises other than that he would do some thing for Funston. At q cabinet meet ing Mir Mckinley mentioned what had been demanded for Funston, and Sec retary Root made sneering remarks about yellow soldering and circus business in the army, and ended by saying he was opposed to making Funston brigadier- er-general of regu- lars. 5e

Eugene Earl. whose position as popular hotel proprietor of the metrop- olis enables him to get very fair idea of the drift of political currents, is in Washington. Speaking of home poli- ties, he said: "Tammany will, l think, do the wise thing and nominate for mayor some strong man who will be acceptable to the entire democracy and to the bulk of the voters in New York. The present reform wave that is sweeping over the town will have spent it's force before election day, and as an issue will be practically ex- tinct. The trouble with the reformers is that they cherish the delusion that they can suppress vice in the metrop- oils, while sensible people recognize the fact that vice in Q great city can not be eradicated. and are content to have it regulated"

 The great: wealth and the rapid growth of the United States, is, says writer fn the New England Engineer Ing Magazine, due to the American system of almost continental free trade, such as never existed over so great an area before and such ass has never been enjoyed by so large 2 mum Der of. people. < In fact. free trade among the states is the bond that keeps the, nation in existence. Was there ever any "war: of trade" be- tween the northern and southern iron and textile masters of the United States? Far from it. They rivaled each other in the exchange of services, each section supplying the other not only with machinery, but with the ideas and rules governing production and the men capable of putting them into practice. Presently they began to exchange products. The crude iron was sent from Alabama to Pittsburg lO Dc COAS GilCNA lhIO hC gray cloth was sent from the southern mills to Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land to be bleached and printed. In this mutual service and in the stimu- Jus to improvement is to be found the key to the rapid extension of Ameri- can exports to other countries. How would it have been had Instructions been put in the way of service between the states, and had the effort been made to promote the arts i'll each of these sections by the bounties and sub sidies of the protective system, each section cut off by war of tariffs in place of each striving to gain skill and thereby to reduce the cost of labor? This development has been accom- plished not by oppression of the labor CT, but by advancing the rates of wages under the necessary compe- tition which governs wages, the efforts of capitalists to secure the highest skill.

Some idea of the way this govern ment was robbed in the purchase of vessels at the outbreak of the war with Spain may be gathered from the fact. that the transport Terry. for which s15O,0OO was paid, has just been advertised for sale at an upset price of S4o,00o, and not q single bid was received.

are showing the most Improvement are:

regaining her former skill.
Charles kuehn, the winner of the third
class, caused a genuine surprise last Sun

All the Conditions Seemed
Favorable Last Week, but
Birds Had Disappeared

The sport last Sunday on the preserves
of the various gun clubs, whose members
are eager for duck shooting, did not reach
the expected proportions. Saturday night
was stormy and visions of game bags
filled to the limit allowed by law lulled
the gunner to sleep.
When morning came there was hardly a
duck to be seen and disappointed crowd
returned that evening from the marshes.
clusion was reached that the rain had
formed fresh water ponds in the interior
which attracted all the birds. The latter
are reported in millions on the Yolo
County bottoms near Davisville. Rio
Visto and Sacramento.
The flight of northern birds has com
menced in earnest, as blackjack and
widgeon, both northern birds, are already
becoming plentiful.

Phil Bekeart, L. r. Darzalere, George
Morse and Mr.. Guyatt, secured forty-one
birds among them Sunday.
