EAU DE COLOGNE.
Invented About zoe Years Ago by an
Italian Priest.

How many of those who use eau de
cologne, from Cologne, daily, one might
almost say hourly. are aware of the fact
that it was invented by IN Italian and
not by a son Of the fatherland which
gives it it's name?
Almost 200 years ago an Italian priest,
Giovan Maria Farina. whose name is
seen on every authentic bottle, elzed out
his modest fortune by selling perfumery,
little art objects and so on, at Domo-
dossola. In 1902, happening to be in
Cologne, and making use of some of the
finest vegetable productions of the coun-
try, he discovered the secret of the
miraculous perfume, which has never
descendants. He soon devoted himself
to the sale of his invention, which was
SO satisfactory that, needing help in its
manufacture, he had his brother and
nephew join him from Italy.
The. increasing fame Of the water
brought increasing difficulties of rival
~. New firms, who stole his name, his
up like mushrooms, but they could not
steal his secret. The difficulty Of the
peasant from Italy who declared his
name was Farina. and made him head
of the firm. One Of the distinctive

spurious manufactures came as near as
possible and put "near,'', next "be-

it's birth is not made according to
Giovan Maria's receipts. In buying your

glory Of own fatherland and the enrich

AN INVOLUNTARY HERO
OF THE CONFEDERACY.
BY FRANK SAVAGE.

What relate are facts which actually
befell me. The greatest cavalry battle
ever fought on the American continent
took place at Brandy Station on June 9,
1868. At early dawn the federal adj
vance guard crossed the Rappanhannock
and charged our outposts with such
vigor that they entered our camp at
their heels. Most of my regiment sixth
Virginia) had turned their horses, out
the evening before, and not more than
fifty of us were prepared to mount.
The fifty men were quickly mounted,
formed and ordered to charge, Not q
moment was to be lost, as some of the
cnemy's advance was in our artillery
camp.
[ was the unfortunate possessor of
an untamed Bucephalus that no rider
on earth could control. I had expert
enced this on three former occasions
But what could 1 DO, charge or not
charge? That was the question. AL
though I knew full we'll that my wild
charger would lead the van, of course
[ must charge in our front was a
heavily wooded forest of pine shrub and
black jack, through which ran a narrow
country road. No time was to be lost,
therefore there was little ceremony. The
usual commands-trot.tn march! $gallop!

down the winding road through the dark

My horse bowed his neck, and placing
his mouth against his breast away he
fairly flew. What could I do? Pull off
the road l could not; stop I could
mot. Away he went. looked around,
but there was no one in sight. We had
lett the Others far behind. I knew that
lin a few seconds one solitary cavalry,
man would be rushing into the midst Of
the foe. One moment more, and I saw
drawn up across my path a double line
of federal cavalry. 1t may be, l thought,
they will see my predicament and let
me through; it may be that they will
not fire, but how could. they know that
my horse was running away?
They must have thought the devil
was coming, for up went at least one
hundred carbines, a crash, a cloud of
smoke, and with one terrific plunge and
groan my steed fell in the woods,
pierced by several balls. How escaped
God only knows. In few moments I
heard our boys come down the road. A
volley from the Federal lines, but on
ward they went, and I, mounting 4
horse belonging to a lieutenant of Co.
II, who was killed here, joined in. We
broke this 4regiment-the Eighth New

than some of us came we went.

BUILD NESTS OF TOBACCO.
Muskrats Who Find the Connecticut Leaf
20 as Good az the Imported.

Growers Of tobacco are threatened with
new and serious menace to their future
success. At least, this is the experience
of Clark Bros. Of Poquonock, who raised
forty-fve acres of tobacco this year, in
Guiding a tract of eighteen acres adjacent
TO the Pennington river. The new pest
does not cut the plant when it is young,
like the Wireworm and cutworm, eat up
the leaves like the greenworm or make
round holes in it like the grasshopper,
but waits until the plant is nearly full
grown, cuts it two or three inches from
the soil and carries it entirely away, as
being.
About month ago Clark Bros. noticed
that about dozen plants from their
outer rows. near the river were being
carried away every night The plants
were cut or bitten sometimes close to
inches higher: Nearly, 500 plants in ali
were carried away. After@a fruitless in
vestigation the question of what became
Of them remained a conundrum.
The attention of Michael Leamy was
called to the matter. He is we'll versed
IN the knowledge Of habits of wild ami
mails in this vicinity: He made thor,
found that /. good-sized pathway t"had
been made through the brush and grass
from the tobacco lot to the river Along
this pathway he found broken pieces Of
leaves { He. concluded that it was the
work. of some animal and determined to
set trip in it's pathway and capture it
if possible.
On Monday night he set a large trap,
concealing it thoroughly, and on Tuesday
morning the mystery was solved by the
capture of muskras, weighing nearly
ten pounds.
1t is known that these animals build
! houses for their winter habitations Of
very large size. They are sometimes as
high as six feet and from seven to eight
feet wide at the base. They are prin-
cipally constructed of flags, grasses and
sticks, and the animals have never been
| known to use tobacco as building ma
terial before. No such nest has been
discovered in this locality, and it is sup
posed that the animal dragged the plant
| into the water and carried it to the island
in the river, about 200 feet from the
west bank, and that q winter mansion is
| being erected. It seems difficult of be-
lief that such a small animal as a musk
rat could carry a heavy tobacco plant
across the river, but those who are ia
miliar with their habits assert that they
are unusually strong for their size and
| that they have been seen dragging good
sized pieces Of timber through the water
with ease.-Hartford Daily Times.
