WHEN THE BUGLES CALL.
Soldlors Who Fight Against Attacks Q
COwardlce.

After reading Of the brilliant 81.
PLOTS of our gallant troops at Ondu,
man one may be pardoned for doubt
ing the existence Of towards in tn
British army, says the London Mai
Unfortunately, however, every now and
then amid the din and crash OF battle
a recruit is seized with fit of coward
ice, which he boldly fights against.
The attack is oftentimes quite mex
pllcable, and nearly always momen-
tary. The majority of men are brave
by instinct, especially when in the
thick of fight. There are, OF course,
exceptions to the rule, but generally
the feeling that the soldier is not a
separate unit, but a cog in vast fight
Ing machine, tends to make even the
most timorous stand shoulder to
shoulder with his comrades. Then
the fear Of being thought afraid steels
the nerves of many a falling soldier,
and there il no doubt that the dread
of the contempt and indignation OF
his fellows is most powerful stlmu-
liant. Very rarely, indeed, does a
British soldier allow fear to overcome
bis sense Of duty; but some old vet
eran will occasionally admit that ne
has known perhaps one such instance,
and in reply to the question, sHoW
IS it we never read Of such cases? he
will answer: "One dead man is small
loss to a regiment. Besides, one man
running off may cause another to fol-
low, and a panic may thus set in. Be-
fore any one has time TO think about 1t,
or issue an order, depend upon it, one
Of his comrades, for the honor OF the
regiment, puts a bullet through him"
Sir Charles Napier had an effective
method of dealing with towards. On
one occasion a flying soldier was stop
ped by his fellows, who were about to
shoot him, when the general inter-
vened. "Give the man another
chance" he ordered. place him in
the front rank, and if he turns again,
let him be shot" The man eagerly
embraced this chance for his life, ov-
ercame his fears and fought braveiy
for the rest of the day. Bravery IS
sometimes largely due to mere lack
of sensibility. ''There goes the brav-
est man in the army" said the old
Kaiser Wilhelm on the battlefield OF
Sadowa, as a pal@ young officer cheer
ed his men on to the charge. HE is
terribly afraid Of being shot, and he
knows it, but he loves his duty and
country more than his personal safe
ty, and that is what makes him 'ea.'

UNCLE SANS PO4SONER.

Man Who Poisons Exhibits for Two
National Institutions.
In a little house in South Washing
ton is located a federal Institution
without which the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition and the National Museum could
not exist. 1t is the department Of the
chief poisoner, Mr.. Joseph Farmer.
The Office OF chief pOisCner was not
unusual in countries ruled by despots,
but it may be surprise to many to
learn that such an Office is maintained
by our own republican form of admin
istration. However, Mr.. Farmer, I'M
like his contempol aries in Turkey,
Spain, Arabia, etc, is not engaged In
putting obnoxious an exuberant
statesmen out Of the way, but in plac-
ing the objects Oh exhibit in the insti-
tuition and museum beyond TIE reach
Of thieves, rust md coc!."caches.
Everything that is received by these
Institutions, whether it is a rare book.
Filipino bolo, or stuffed and mount
ed animal, is sent to Mr. Farmer to be
poisoned. He is IN expert in the
preparation and use Of rreservativc
compounds. For stuffed animals and
birds he finds that arsenical compounds
brius the best results. Every object Of
metal receives a coating and something
that r.cvf hts rrst, while fabrics, bas-
kctrv. silks. fuis, etc., are poisoned in
much the same manner as stuffed ami
mails. Even the shelves and cases OF
the museum in which the objects are
placed have passed through Mr.. Farm
ers hands and have been treated to a
fluid that causes bug, moth or cock
roach to think that he is walking over
a red hot iron the minute ne strikes
their surface. BY these means the
museum is forever freed from verp,in.

Fi~m the Washington Post: We
find in the Lewiston Journal Of the
18th instant "thc record of a Maine
built ship" which is very pleasant
reading, for it furnishes conclusive
proof that shipbuilding in the United
States is a profitable industry under
judicious management. This particu-
lar ship is called the Dirigo, and ap-
pears to be worthy Of her proud name.
She was built, the Journal says, by
the s-walls, at Bath and is the larg-
est steel ship af1oat bearing the stars
and stripes. It Is probable that no
steamship in the freight business ex-
clus1vely has earned SO much money
In a year as this sailing vessel bas
placed to the credit Of her owners.
The record published in the Journal
shows that Dirigo left New York for
Shanghai on Jan. 9 last with a cargo
of general merchandise, which brought
in a gross amount of s35.250. After
discharging at Shanghai <ne came
across the Pacific in ballast to Puget
sound and Immediately picked up a
coal freight for San Francisco, which
added $1,000 more to her receipts.
Coal freights paid so we'll then that the
ship made two voyages in the trade.
She has just been chartered to load
wheat on the Puget sound at 80 shil-
lings pence. She can carry 400 tons
of cargo. and at this rate the gross
receipts for the voyage to Europe will
be $38,070. She is fast boat, but II
she should make only an average voy-
age she will reach Liverpool by April,
SO that the gross receipts for fifteen
months work will amount to nearly
100000, about one-half Of which will
be profit. Our Lewiston contemporary
finds in these figures an ample exposi-
ton of the reason why Arthur Sewall,
1.-The Bath shipbuilder and the owner
Of the Dirigo. goes right along bull l.
ing sailing ships, while less enterpr~s-
ing capitalists have bewailed their de-
cadence and bought lota in Lonesome

Reduction of Weight Of Passenger Car

Reduction Of Weight Of Passenger Cara
The New York, New Haven & Hart
fore. railroad is striving to reduce the
weight of its passenger cars. The
standard pattern cars weigh close upon
30 tons, and by reducing weight in
every possible detail, nearly tons
can be taken off. This reduction rep
;esents pretty nearly the average pas
senger contents of a car. Much OF tho
traction resistance of car is due 70
its weight. Consequently the reduction
will increase the number Of cars that
may be drawn by an engine. The air
resistance Is independent Of the
weight.

he's good fellow, the habit will re-
main unbroken. SO long az children
