Miller had it not beer for the testi-
mony of his two comrades who were
with him, for the reason that he was
sure that he had left Miller dead on
the field on Chickamauga. Indeed,
after the battle, Miller was reported
dead by his captain, and his name
was printed in the newspapers among
the killed.
Miller's friends in Indiana did not
know he was alive until two months
later. The army surgeons feeling
sure that Miller would die, told him
they would not give him any more
pain by probing for the bullet, so it
was left in the wound until he went
home. Nine months after he was
wounded he arrived home. Two sur
geons operated on him and succeeded
in removing about one-third of the
musket ball. Seventeen years after
he was shot he was cleaning, his
wounds one day when = piece of lead
dropped into the water.
Comrade Miller has no memory for
names, but very wildly recalls all the
little details of how he was shot and
how ha was left for dead, and finally
crawled away from among the dead
and dying.

tains may accumulate into heavy
drifts. More snow continually fall
ing may press upon the old snow,
and it will gradually turn into ice.
In time, as more snow falls, the ice
slips down the mountain side and
forms in the valleys great rivers OF
ice called glaciers. Such glacier,
forced down by the weight of new
snow behind it, may fill valley sew
eral miles long, till at last it reaches
warmer air in the low lands and
melts as fast as it advances, flowing
away in stream of white ice water.
Get q piece of ice from the refrig-

War History of an Illinois Veteran
Who Carries u Ballet in
His Brain,

Comrade Jacob Miller, of Braid
wood, ILL.,, had most remarkable ex-
perience during his service with COM
pany X, Ninth Indiana, and still car
ries piece of confederate lead in his
brain, says the National Tribune.
Comrade Miller enlisted at Logan
sport, Ind, in 1861. His first captain
was w. p. La Sale, and his regiment
was commanded by Robert Milroy.
At the battle of Chickamauga, Sep
tember 10, 1863, while in the act of
aiming, Comrade Miller was struck
by musket ball, which penetrated
the forehead, and he fell backward
and was left for dead. Comrade Mil
Ter recollects hearing his captain say:
for he is dead.'
By the shot one of his eyes was
knocked out of it's socket, and the
other was soon SO swollen that he
could see nothing. But he retained
consciousness, and crawled forth
from among the dead, after his COM
rades had fallen back, and made his
way to field hospital. The next
morning, having a great dread of be-
ing taken prisoner, he started out to
make his way to Chattanooga on
foot. He could only see few feet
ahead of him by holding open the lids
of the swollen eye.
Comrade Miller walked as far as he
could and then lay down by the road
side. An ambulance driver, finding
him still breathing, picked him up
and put him in the ambulance in the
space which had been occupied by
comrade who had just died. In this
way Miller finally reached Chatta-
nooga on September p, and there fell
in with two members of his own COM
pany, and with them crossed the river
in the evening and stayed all night
with the company teamster.
At noon the next day he had his
wound dressed for the first time.
Then he drew rations and, with his
comrades, started across the noun
tains to Bridgeport, where they ar
rived September 25. From Bridge
port he rode to Nashville, lying on
his back in a box car. In Nashville
his wound received it's second Dress
ing.
Miller's two comrades sent letter
to their captain asking for descrip-
tive lists for themselves and for Mil
ler, SO that they could draw their
pay. The captain answered, inclos-
ing the lists, but added that he would

A REASONABLE CHILD.

They say am fretful and sulky and cross,
That I'm snappish and petulant too;
Enat won play at all unless ! can be boss,
And dictate what others shall do
B ut always am pleasant and smiling and
bright,
When my playmates do just as say,
And I never incline to a quarrel or fight,
II only can have my own way.
They say that, whenever feast is pre-
pared,
I clamor for more than the rest;
That 1 am not content if it's equally shared,
But I must have the most and the best
Of course, I expect them, frankly admit,
To give me the best on the tray;
And III never be slrly or sulky a bit,
II only can have my own way.
They say over trihes worry and fret,
And at nothing I'm often put out:
They say, If opposed, L fly into pet
At the least contradiction pout.
But truly, my temper never will lose,
And I'll always be merry and gay,
If am but allowed to co just as I choose

moisture on y plate, and wiping them
dry, you will find + remains full Of
liquid, even if you displace the brim
the least bit, so as to leave visible q lit
tie thread of water, whose function
we shall presently perceive.
On the foot of Il now place smaller
glass (C) full of red wine, and you
are now ready to make the wine in c
pass into the glass B without drop
of it entering A.
The operation, we shall see, is
double: first, it is necessary to get
the wine out of the small glass CO.;
second, to cause it to penetrate into
the upside down glass, B.
A fiber of tapesty wool is dipped
into the wine in the upper glass (C),
and the two extremities are left to
hang outside. Soon at each end of the
wool we shall perceive trickling drop
of wine. which will grow larger and
larger till it drops upon the foot of
B, then overfowing down the sides of
the glass.
Thus the wine will gently creep to-
ward the brims of the two larger
glasses, and there, strange to say, in
stead of continuing it's descent under
the action of gravity, we shall see it
creeping upward and sideways be-
tween the rims of the glasses, until
all the wine has left glass c and gone
to the top of glass B, replacing an
equal quantity of water which has
been forced out and dripped on to the
plate.--N. Y. Herald.

The forcupine Fish.

Among tne Bermuda ushes Just re-
ceived at the Aquarium is a porcupine
fish. which has been placed in the
tank with the boXish.
The boXfish has all over its body a
large number of fixed. spiny protuDer-
ances. The porcupine fish differs from
it in having scattered thickly over It's
body many sharp spires that are cap
able of shifting in position. Ordinarily
these spires lie fiat against the fish s
skin, but when the fish initiates itself
with water. as it can do. until it's body
is also globeshaped, it's many sharp
spines rise up like quilts upon the
fretful porcupiNe.
Hence the name of this fish, which
is sometimes also called hedgehog.

ELEPHANTS AND THEIR WAYS.

Generally Accepted Ideas Found to BE
Incorrect.
The average term of an elephants
life. although there is no precise IN
formation on the point, is 70 or 80
years. The elephant is not In full
vigor and strength till 35. The most
ready way of forming an approximate
idea OF the age is by the amount OF
turnover of the upper edge OF the ear
In young animals, sometimes up to
the age of or 9 years, the edge is
quite straight; it, however. then be-
gins to turn over and by the time the
animal is 80 the edges lap over to the
extent of an inch and between this
age and 60 this increases to two inches
or slightly more. Extravagant ideas
are held as to the height OF an e!e-
phant. Such thing as an elephant
measuring ten feet at the shoulders
does not exist in India or Burma. San
derson. who is admitted to be the best
authority on the subject, says the
largest male he ever met with meas
ured nine feet ten inches and the tall
est female eight feet five inches. The
majority of elephants. however. are
below eight feet and an animal rarely
reaches nine feet. the female being
slightly shorter than the male. The
carcass OF an elephant seven feet four
inches tall weighed in portions gives a
total weight of 5000 pounds, so an ele-
phant weighing two tons should be
common enough. The skin was about
three.fourths of an inch to one inch
thick.

occasion her English governess re-
proved her for violent outburst of

piled the little queen. Look at Queen
Elizabeth. She was a splendid queen

President of Salvador May Some Day
Find Accomplishing Useful.
Gen. Regalado, president of Saliva
dor is evidently a frst-class shot, ac-
cording to the New York Herald. He
went the other day on board of a man
ofwar for the purpose of testing a
new army rifle. In spite Of the motion
of the vessel he hit twice in success
sion cartridge shell which was sus-
pended from a white thread at a dis
tance of thirty PAGES.
With this, however. he was not sat
isfied and turning to the commander
in-chief of the army, he said: II now
propose to hit the white thread, and
| shall be much obliged if you will
hold it for me-"
Without a word the commander-in-
chief went to the spot where the
thread hung, and, taking the top of it
between his fingers. he held it out at
arms length. The next moment the
president fired and cut the thread in
two five inches below the hand of the
man holding it.
He then called the commander-in-
chief and asked him to accept as a
gift the rifle he had used.

Siun of ADVANCING Ace.

According to Sir James Crichton
Browne the hand begins to lose its
suppleness when the individual is
about 40 years Of age. The scale of
wages in the button trade, for eX
ample, is a good indication of this
tendency Of the hand to grow old
so early in life. At his very best,
in his prime, skillful button maker
can make 6.240 ivory buttons a day
on his lathe. For this ne receives
AS shillings a week. When the work
man is 65 years of age he can seldom
make more than 20 shillings, this pro-
viding that he still enjoys sound
health.
